Drugs ads

Oh my God! What's with the drugs commercials on TV? I mean they got the solution for everything. And the language they use is really trying to get to your psyche too. "Do you suffer from shortness of breath after jogging?", "Do you get headaches at work?", "Do you suffer from heartburn, asthma or cough?", "Do you have ulcerative colitis, sklerose or prostate problems?" The list of would-be symptoms goes on and on. Soon they gonna hit you with things like: "Do you go to bed in the evening and get up in the morning? If your answer is YES, we got this fabulous pill for you." But for what are these pills exactly? Are they suppose to cure you or just numb the sore parts. And what happened to old-fashioned ways of dealing with headaches? Isn't it enough to anymore to take a break, go for a walk or open the window. Are drugs and medicine commercials so blinding that we forget what they're really for? How come we don't realize that it's all chemicals which in fact leave a permanent mark in our system. You know, soon they will probably have the children's songs lyrics changed as well- "If you're happy and you know it... take a pill... If you're happy and you know it take a pill, If you happy and you know it and you really want to show it if you're happy and you know it take a pill." Oh, you're sad? Well then... If you're sad and you know it take a... Prescription xanax, valium, alprazolam, phentermine are some of the most googled terms on line nowadays. The drug business is booming or it has already boomed. I'm just wandering when it's going to peak. I guess with all the junk succesively flooding Europe and Asia, I mean foodwise, our health problems, depressions, obesities, you name them, are going to hit us hard pretty soon. If only as much money and energy was put into prevention programs as it is for ad campaigns, the world would truly be a better place.

A day at tennis courts

What started out to be a mundane outing with my camera, transformed into a papparazi kind of thing. Being a fan of tennis as I've always been, I decided to devote a shred of my attention to this annual tournament that I've so successflly evaded up until now. I don't know why I've been doing that so don't ask me. I guess I was always kindda reluctunt to watch obscure players from the end of ATP rankings giving mediocre performances. However, I figured a day at the courts will do me good and indeed it did. When I saw Koellerer in action I thought not only is he a good player but also a great entertainer. After all that's really all we're looking for in our old miserable, sad lifes- a bit of fun. Not only did I decide to take pictures but I also remebered my camera has a movie mode of which I'd taken a full advantage. It's actually quite remarkable what happened at the courts during one particular match. Poor umpire must have had serious doubts about his career choice. I know I've never seen anything like this and I'm sure the fan tennis scene will have a lot of fun with this. Apparently PEKAO OPEN deemed my endeavors worth while since they published some of it on their official site: http://www.pekaoopen.pl/2007/. Didn't ask my permission though... bastards! Aa what the hell, if it's public it's public. As Ray Cokes ones said: "I am the man of the people and for the people" or something like that. Anyway, take a look. Cheers!

Hats off to Mia Rose

What a name, what a girl, what a talent. I was fooling around YouTube and suddenly I stumbled into this. Now my knowledge about music is pretty dense but the genius here is easily seen. I love amateur singers and cover songs, although I myself cannot sing. I heard a lot of bad talents and poor imitations but this is absolutely outstanding. After hearing her version of "unwritten" I was literally looking for my jaw somewhere in between my feet but could not really find it. I wish I could sing like that. Anyways, see for yourselves.
