The apocalypse on its way

I didn't buy today another 1kg of Sydney Morning Herald as I usually do on Saturdays. I found myself drowning in a high tide of news from the previous number.

The essay of James Thornton in the section of Environment within Spectrum insertion I found very interesting. Climate change sounds almost like new religion. It is repeated over and over again around. If you do not worship climate change you have no right to call yourself an environmentalist.

James visualize a new era ahead of us. We got tired with capitalism already who surprises us with global crisis, we got over the Middle Age with its stiff belief. I agree with him - We need new renaissance. What will it be?

He tries to gather "wise" people together and produce new set of beliefs - a new story which would make sense of our lives. And this is the moment i start to protest. I don't agree to treat people as a mass of sheep. In the era of information we can not repeat it again. Let us develop our own free mind, let us listen to our own hearts. I hope that next era will be the time of free individuals with their own amazing and interesting stories : )

The hairdresser turned out to be a rock/jazz band singer and I could not stop asking for more details. Is there anywhere a place on Earth, except for New Orleans, where singers recruit their fans by trimming their hair :) ? Anyway, here is one of the videos of  that rock & roll hairdresser Barbarella Blue (like all well-established Kardashian-like stars in USA Barbarella Blue has Instagram too):  A chatter with Barbarella made me come late to viewing World Cup game at the Botany Lab, Tulane University. Fan W. set up the projector and the live channel before I came. Few colleagues joined us in supporting Poland against Senegal. What a disgraceful game it was for Poland! One deflection off P...

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )
