campania locala online

ce ne’a starnit interesul, sau macar hazul, din viziunea online a candidatilor

ursuletul doarme :))

zanul

ratp

Problema aceea telenovelistica cu pragul de varsta care determina anumite comportamente chiar se aplica, canditatii mai tineri sunt ironici, autoironici etc, in timp ce rivalii lor mai in varsta nu sunt deloc interesanti din punct de vedere al dinamicii online. PD-L marcheaza din nou, precum a fost si stralucita campanie din 2004 a lui Basescu, desi potentialul hazliu al lui Oprea si Carlan este net inferior fata de cel al Marinelului. Oprea e prea serios din fire (stil Stolojan, nu merge chiar cu floricele si tricouri cu dungi) iar Carlan are prea multe pete de ascuns k sa mai se dea in spectacol, desi poate din fire o fi simpatic el, cine stie?

Domnul Adomnitei greseste de 2 ori: odata prin abuzul de propria imagine, de care ne’am saturat pe toate blocurile si dubele si loganurile, si odata prin imaginea sa online plina de youtubes (deci ca un blog obositor si prost, ca un profil de hi5 chinuit) si de pareri aiurea cum ar fi despre participarea sa la IMTO :)) haha again, o prestatie penibila intr’un mediu prea select pt el.

La cateva saptamani dupa, am participat la IMTO ( Internet Myths Trends Opportunities ). Desi nu am stat foarte mult la eveniment, am intalnit o alta parte a comunitatii de pasionati ai interentului din Iasi. Ii salut pe Ciprian si Andrei, care m-au incurajat sa ajung la acest eveniment.”

Nichita are un site odios, plin de stupiditati: “am invins!” si procente, castiga o camera digitala, si alte imaturitati, link la site poli iasi cu go.ro nu oficial si o poza foarte urata cu iasul in care troneaza CET nu palatul culturii sau ceva mai cu aer cultural. ce pretentii sa ai de la ape canal? partea cea mai stupida: download! andra-vreau sarutarea ta, varianta iasi! mp3!!! senzational! ahahahaa

Daca e sa am o curiozitate reala, e legata de Bogdan Vascu, pe care intentionez sa’l vizitez spre a afla mai multe despre proiectul sau cu circuitul :)) multi au ras bine, eu rad putin si ma informez mai mult. O sa va prezint concluziile, abia astept.

surrender

Laying on your holy bed
by the hallowed door
Feeling like an infidel
Not worthy of your floor
Tempted by your innocence
Beckoned to my fate
I won’t face the consequence
I wouldn’t hesitate

I’m a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

Shackled like an animal
Chained to my desires
Just another sacrifice
To love’s eternal fires
Tame me with your tenderness
And break my brittle heart
Easily and elegantly
Tear my world apart

I’m a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my vains
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

We’re living in a world full of illusion
Everything is so unreal
My mind is in a state of confusion
But I can’t deny the way I feel

I’m a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart
Heavenly surrender

I’m a man of flesh and bone
Rapture, rushing through my veins
Passion, flaming, in my heart, yeah

60 ani prea mult, by T.R.U.

Dinamo şi Steaua s-au născut pentru că regimul comunist demola tot ce se construise în libertate

Dinamo a aniversat 60 de ani. E o eroare istorică gravă. Pe 14 mai, s-au împlinit 60 de ani de la desfiinţarea cluburilor Unirea Tricolor şi Ciocanul, nu jubileul lui Dinamo. Pe 14 mai 1948 a fost înfiinţat prin decret, nu prin iniţiativă personală sau populară, clubul Ministerului Afacerilor Interne. Miliţia şi Securitatea nu mureau de dorul educaţiei fizice şi, de fapt, nimeni nu le-a interzis să alerge pe cîmp sau să se ducă la ştrand. Ţara era a lor. De la un cap la altul. Nici de pugilat nu era lipsă în beciuri şi temniţe. A.S. Aiud şi Box Club Gherla ar fi reprezentat cu cinste Ministerul. Nu. Dinamo a fost înfiinţat aşa cum au fost înfiinţate toate instituţiile statului comunist: pentru a demola şi înlocui tot ce construise România în libertate. Numele clubului traduce exact împrejurările fondatoare: un cuvînt rusesc, o iscălitură agitprop. Şi Steaua, înfiinţată în iunie 1947, a ieşit din acelaşi atelier.

Fundamentalism? Nu. Am ţinut cu Dinamo pe cînd eram copil, adică apolitic. Am crescut. Detest dou? cluburi năpastă şi nu cred că trebuie să ne omorîm istoria a doua oară. Nici o diferenţă între naşterea dinamovistă dintr-o fuziune care a îngropat cluburi vechi şi faimoasele congrese de unificare prin care comuniştii i-au îngropat pe social-democraţi. De altfel, Dinamo, Steaua şi Iliescu sînt cele mai vechi fraude în vigoare ale vieţii publice româneşti. În 1990, Dinamo s-a repezit să-şi schimbe numele. Voia să devină . Oare de ce? Se simţea marele club în culpă? Şi care era culpa? Însă frisonul a trecut repede. Aşa cum Iliescu şi-a asumat un presupus trecut de muncă în slujba României, bla, bla, bla, Dinamo pozează istoric în continuatoarea unei mari tradiţii.

Marcel Popescu, preşedintele clubului sportiv, are nesimţirea să revendice zeci şi sute de medalii cîştigate de sportivii dinamovişti la 14 Olimpiade. Serios? Dar unde anume, la ce alte cluburi, în afară de Dinamo, Steaua & co puteau face sportivii români performanţă? La cluburile desfiinţate? Calculul lui Popescu e la fel de abject ca o luare de ostatici. Sportivii trebuiau să concureze undeva şi nu aveau de ales. Dinamo transformă o constrîngere în triumf. Palmaresul real al clubului trebuie măsurat în prelungirea răului. În formula de dominaţie şi corupţie prin care Borcea, Becali şi celelalte arătări fără de partid continuă o tradiţie nenorocită. La Mulţi Ani uitare, Dinamo!

ice machine

Running through my head secretly
The shout of the boys in the factory
I’ll ring you on the telephone silently
Like blood, like wine in the darkroom scene
darkroom scene

Resurrect, as a feeling, on my window,
Of a past reunion
Resurrect as a feeling on my window
Of a past reunion
Mission of a picture like the city and the air we breathe
the air we breathe

“sub inaltul patronaj al majestatii sale”

In primul rand, la multi ani. Traim pe mess, si din fericire asta nu ne ocupa chiar tot timpul. Zilnic suntem bombardati cu campanii, petitii online, unele mai de interes, altele mai imbecile. Daca tot e 10 mai, ma intreb de ce nu exista petitii din partea miscarii pentru regatul romaniei? De ce ne refuzam o impacare cu trecutul, cu Micul Paris, cu o clasa mai sus? De ce nu acoperim petele de sange si urmele de gloante din 89 cu maretia si sclipirea unei dinastii? Nu suntem in 1866, nu avem nevoie de importuri, macar la regi nu mai este nevoie de asa ceva. Cum au revenit atatia si atatia care n’au mancat salamul cu soia, poate era loc si de victima conjuncturii din 1947. Ar fi fost dovada de omenie care mi’ar fi umplut inima cu mandrie si poate as fi putut defini cumva desueta notiune de patriotism, o revolutie care nu urmareste interesele celor care au organizat’o, clandestin, ci urmareste pur si simplu, fixarea celui mai bun punct de reper din trecutul Romaniei si incercarea de a reveni la acel punct. In 1995 a murit ultimul regalist convins, ultimul ce amintea prin comportament de occidentalismul vizibil in orasele Romaniei interbelice. Ma refer la Corneliu Coposu, fara a face vreun parti-pris, nu am fost niciodata un simpatizant al PNT, fie ei cu CD in coada sau fara. Ma revolta batranii care vorbesc la tv cum “era mai bine pe vremuri”, referindu’se la epoca comunista. A fost si bine, da, pe vremuri, pe vremuri in care te afunzi printre paginile albumului cu Bucurestiul inceputului de secol sau prin colectii de carti postale. Sau in corpul B, la Cuza, la ultimul etaj, pe hol. Abia acelea sunt vremuri din care am avea atat de multe de invatat, atat din punct de vedere al legalitatii in initiative economice, cat mai ales in domeniul diplomatic. Sunt absolut sastisit de ghena aceasta de viata politica, surogat de viata politica mai precis, care nu a mai produs vreun diplomat de cariera si de renume de peste 60 ani. Sunt la fel de dezgustat de modul in care imitatiile se produc prin alegerea celor mai odioase modele, prin fabricarea de personalitati din cei mai mari oportunisti, fie ei dintr’un partid sau altul. DIplomatii interbelici erau niste persoane de o cultura aleasa, cei de astazi abia leaga doua cuvinte. Iar daca leaga trei, atunci sunt scriitori/istorici de renume, ajung ministri de externe si ne fac de ras intr’o lume intreaga :)

Pentru noi, regalistii, mare inseamna Balcic nu Costinesti. Pentru noi, regalistii, franceza se invata si se respecta precum limba materna. Pentru noi, regalistii, partidele nu sunt atotputernice si se retrag singure de la guvernare cand le bati obrazul. Pentru noi, regalistii, speranta este infima, dar o manifestare de sprijin fata de familia Majestatii Sale este intotdeauna sincera si binevenita. In rest, multumiti’le domnilor Ion Iliescu, Petre Roman si altor semi-reformisti care au avut grija sa instituie minunatul regim din 90.

london, close to basildon


You Belong in London


A little old fashioned, and a little modern.

A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.

A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything.

No wonder you and London will get along so well.


Your Mind is Red


Of all the mind types, yours is the most impulsive.

If you think it, you do it. And you can get the bug to pursue almost any passion.

Your thoughts are big and bold. Your mind has no inhibitions.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about love, your dreams, and distant places.


You Are Sunset


Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you’ve accomplished a lot in life.

And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you’re not even sure where it will take you.

Maybe you’ll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years.

Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far!

Spanish GP - gladiator Alonso cannot impede red double

Ferrari: Raikkonen 1, Massa 2.

Raikkonen stormed to victory setting up the fastest lap in the process. He is the eighth consecutive winner from pole in Catalunya. Massa benefited from the slipstream of his teammate to pass Alonso on the run to turn 1. He never gave up more than 4 seconds on Kimi. Both Ferraris opened a 10 second gap until the Safety Car period, putting the engines on low revs afterwards.

McLaren: Hamilton 3, Kovalainen DNF

Hamilton passed Kubica when the lights turned green and got held for 15 laps by Alonso, passing him after the first pit stop. He never posed a threat to Massa, keeping Kubica at bay too. Heikki was running behind Kubica, until his left front suspension cracked on lap 22, hitting the tyre barrier like a bullet. He luckily escaped the crash and will be able to compete in Turkey.

BMW: Kubica 4, Heidfeld 9

Kubica put the pressure on Hamilton after losing his grid position at the start. Heidfeld was the heaviest front-runner and had to pit when the SC was deployed, having no fuel left in the gas tank. He subsequently received a 10 second penalty that moved him dead last. He made a superb move on Fisichella but finished just outside the points.

Red Bull: Webber 5, Coulthard 12

With one BMW running out of luck and one McLaren hitting the barriers, the highest place to aim for the pack was 5th. And following the engine blows of Alonso and Rosberg, Webber was the one finishing 5th in the end. Coulthard had a clash with Glock and suffered a puncture. It’s the third time in 4 races that David is involved in a touch.

Honda: Button 6, Barrichello DNF

Button drove anonymously to bring home the first points for Honda in 2008. Barrichello was there too in the first part of the race, but he had the misfortune of breaking the front wing in the pitlane. The damegd sustained by the floor of the car during one lap with the front wing under the chassis made him retire.

Williams: Nakajima 7, Rosberg DNF

Unlucky Rosberg would have finished in front of his teammate had his engine not give up. Kazuki inherited the place and drove calmly to the chequered flag, being harassed by Trulli in the closing stages.

Toyota: Trulli 8, Glock 11

Trulli’s composure made him finish once again in the points. Glock had the front wing ripped off in the incident with Coulthard and finished far behind, one lap down the leader.

Force India: Fisichella 10, Sutil DNF

Fisichella proved great once again, defending his position in front of faster cars, bringing in the first top ten finish for his team. Sutil’s race lasted four corners, until Coulthard touched him and made him slide into Vettel.

Super Aguri: Sato 13, Davidson DNF

A technical failure for Anthony, but a great race for Sato, who shuffled in the peloton just like Fisichella, being 9th at one stage of the race.

Renault: double DNF

Alonso lost second place on the main straight, running third until he entered the pits, being the first one to do so, proving that the time he posted yesterday was not showing a real and sustainable progress. His engine gave up on lap 34 when he was fifth. Piquet was 10th for the first three laps, an error in turn 5 getting him down to 16th. While he tried to pass Bourdais, the frenchman closed the door and both were out on the spot.

Toro Rosso: double DNF

They brought their cars for nothing here. Sutil drove into Vettel on lap 1, while Bourdais was out 7 laps later when he touched Nelson Piquet Jr. Vettel is by far the most unlucky driver in 08.

compress a week to zero

it’s odd again

each time they leave, when i spend hours walking through the altered city, whenever i meet someone and i think of interaction as an exception, not a normal thing, it’s odd. Odd is just a defensive word, it will never turn into a smile, it will never cause tensions or depressions. It’s odd not to have a good reason for tomorrow, but it’s not leaving me breathless. Because for once, i am hanging on a wire. A stable wire, because it’s not a person, like the ones that come, disappoint and leave. It’s been stable for a thousand years, it’s my compromise with the West.

If it’s not Monaco, let there be Timisoara. Let there be a wonderful green city, with a touching stroke of Vienna, a city that has the pure air that Brasov never had before last summer, a city that leans towards one side of my genealogy and reminds me of those times when life was simple and i had no weight on my chest whenever i asked myself what tomorrow could bring. I remember perfectly, i watched a moto race, there were Capirossi and Barros in the black West Honda Pons in Sachsenring, i remember it all so well! I laughed so hard when my grandpa asked me if i still know the way from the railway station to the house.

This whole reminder is doing me a lot of good. Can’t wait to get there and meet them again. And picture every building in “secession” style from 1900. I promise i won’t let you two slip away again and remain close. I will feel a bit ashamed when i’ll see you after 8 years and not a single word in between. I’m sure in a couple of days, at least one of you will teach me a lesson, will do something to leave me thinking for 14 hours on my way back.

So, forgotten ones, i hand myself over on a plate to you. And i can’t wait to have my real Easter with you, one week later. Leaving it late becomes a habit, hence my new year was between 1 and 2 jan. And i won’t really make some sort of countdown just because i am too lazy, too busy, and i still have a race to analyse on Sunday :D

violator - the glamorous transition

In a word, stunning. Perhaps an odd word to use given that Violator continued in the general vein of the previous two studio efforts by Depeche Mode: Martin Gore’s upfront lyrical emotional extremism and knack for a catchy hook filtered through Alan Wilder’s ear for perfect arrangements, ably assisted by top English producer Flood. Yet the idea that this record would both dominate worldwide charts, while song for song being simply the best, most consistent effort yet from the band could only have been the wildest fantasy before its release. The opening two singles from the album, however, signaled something was up. First was “Personal Jesus,” at once perversely simplistic, with a stiff, arcane funk/hip-hop beat and basic blues guitar chords, and tremendous, thanks to sharp production touches and David Gahan’s echoed, snaky vocals. Then “Enjoy the Silence,” a nothing-else-remains-but-us ballad pumped up into a huge, dramatic romance/dance number, commanding in its mock orchestral/choir scope. Follow-up single “Policy of Truth” did just fine as well, a low-key Motown funk number for the modern day with a sharp love/hate lyric to boot. To top it all off, the album itself scored on song after song, from the shuffling beat of “Sweetest Perfection” (well sung by Gore) and the ethereal “Waiting for the Night” to the guilt-ridden-and-loving-it “Halo” building into a string-swept pounder. “Clean” wraps up Violator on an eerie note, all ominous bass notes and odd atmospherics carrying the song. Goth without ever being stupidly hammy, synth without sounding like the clinical stereotype of synth music, rock without ever sounding like a “rock” band, Depeche here reach astounding heights indeed.

vote for dm @ iasi 600


http://www.primaria-iasi.ro/content.aspx?item=1833〈=RO

Hai sa incercam o campanie fara mici si asfalt carpit, fara lalele care cresc doar in anii bisecti. Hai sa facem din Iasi 600 un program in care sa ne regasim cat de cat, nu vreo manifestare obosita pe care se cheltuie bani degeaba (chiar, de ce e pe fiecare stalp de pe independentei o reclama la asta? ma oboseste). Ce’ar fi sa avem parte de Depeche in octombrie (da, atunci cand Nichita va fi demult evacuat de la Roznovanu)? Fan-clubul este in fibrilatie, daca treburile sunt, macar odata, transparente, avem o sansa importanta.

danica patrick makes history

if there is a time for being proud of feminist movements, it is now! This is a real model, not the ones using their asses and lips to gain TV audience. Make her a hero and call her in F1. Lella Lombardi, Katherine Legge, Susie Stoddart, Vanina Ickx, here is your team leader!

p*u*l*s*e - projection - april 20

Posted by: schummy | 18 aprilie, 2008

don’t be afraid to care, part 2

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I’d something more to say.

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the fields
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
Hear the softly spoken magic spell
