I will try to finish all my running swaps untill december 1st, to avoid the agglomeration during the holidays.
So... my latest art- Decos:
- Colours of your aura
The picture is quite over-exposed, as you can see, but it seems that my scanner cannot do better in this case. The colours of my aura are, of course, earthly shades of brown & green, a touch of pearly antique pink & blue (the pearlescent colours are not visible in the scan, as usual, unfortunately) and, of course, black.
- I love...
I have put, in pictures and in words, a little of what I love.
- Haunted
Other news... Yesterday, we went to vote for our country`s future President. Tough job, because we had to choose between some superficial populists, who were not even capable, during the elective campaign, to propose a decent program for the gouvernement... We have valuable people here but, somehow, politically we are doomed and we do not seem to find a way to fix things which were distroyed during our history. We do not have an easy life, that is for sure...
For example, today we found out that we, who work in education, will be forced to take 6 free days of work, this year. We will not be payed for them, of course. This is one of the effects of the economical crisis. For other social categories it is even worse... :( A lot of people are left unemployed these days... We have installments to pay to the banks, and bills, and we also have to eat and dress... and it is not really possible to have all of these from a regular salary. It is really tough... I agree that we have a certain tolerance, we can bare a lot because we have lived the comunisme after all... and during the last years of comunisme, we barely had what to eat and... gosh, we used to make our homeworks with candlelights on, because the electrical energy was rationalized, just like the food and everything else... Entire towns were left in dark and people used to wait for hours to buy a few hundreads grammes of meat. I have lived all these, I will always remember... As a child, I used to think that chocolate is something so precious, because I could eat a little piece of chocolate like once in a year or something... because there was no chocolate to buy. The shops were empty. Empty of food, empty of everything. And other people, older than me, have lived even worse, because the comunisme was not the only hard period in our history. So... yes, probably we are more tolerant than others, because we have lived some terrible things, but still... it is hard, more than you can probably feel... And these days it is harder than ever to see all those stupid pavenues from the political class... who almost laugh into our face with their lies. I almost believe those conspiracy-theories who say that there is a plot to keep this country down, from one reason or another.
OK... enough with this.
I will end my post with a little video - it is a cut scene from the Half-Blood Prince. Why they have cut this scene is beyond my understanding (and, as far as I read, beyond everyone`s understanding), because its beauty is extraordinaire. One of the reasons why I love the "Harry Potter" serie is that J.K.Rowling created authentical characters, with authentical emotions, very humanly motivated, in a world like our`s, where good and evil are never absolute, but they intermission with eachother, there is a reason for every good as well as for every evil thing... and nothing is eternal. Everything comes and goes and comes again and goes again, like the Nature`s rules teach us.
