My publishing debut on London Intranet:-)

Book Review: In The Moment

“In the moment” is a wonderful collection of great and personal essays by Gene Zelazny, The Firm Director of Visual Communication. Gene takes the reader for a trip into his mind and the story of his extremely interesting life shaped by the war and the stigma he experienced because of his Star of David.

One can only guess that his difficult life taught him what is most important in this world. As a consequence he’s astonishingly honest about what he thinks and feels. He doesn’t flirt with the reader. He doesn’t leave anything to guess work. He doesn’t allow for any reading between the lines. Gene always gets to the point. He even has the courage to tackle his spiritual beliefs infront of the reader. “I know you know that I’m not religious. The closest to a religion I aspire to is Hedonism. Today I practice it to the fullest, and, let me tell you, my God is better than your God”. There’s no doubt Gene is a mature thinker.

Each of the essays is a short story that is very touching and makes one hungry for more. Each chapter puts the reader in a philosophical mood about their life, and requires the reader to ask questions about themselves. That is a good reason for taking the book slowly.
Gene uses simple language that makes this book an exciting read. “In the moment” is sointense in terms of the content on an intellectual level that fancy adjectives and sophisticated metaphors would spoil it.

What I adore about “In the moment” is Gene’s game with himself and his identity. I’m still not sure whether he’s Gene, Zelazny or Jeannot. The author is juggling with names and personalities of the same person. It isn’t confusing. It only proves the complexity of author’s mindset. I couldn’t help trying to figure out what his true personality is. Fortunately Gene gave me an answer when he mentioned he’s jealous about Madeline’s drawing (she’s a four years old girl).
“In the moment” is a book written by a very intelligent man who “is innocent, natural, and doesn’t play to the crowd. He just writes through his free-flowing fingers”. This is the first time I’ve read this type of book and it has whetted my appetite for more. They definitely make me more conscious of my own life.

So true:-)

The world never is ideal.

I bet all of us have felt it at least once in a lifetime.

I have been asking myself for bilions of time why it has to be like that and never so far found the answer that would really satisfy me. Yet once I read that people lives are often shaped by others actions.

As a consequence one may think that the world is a cold and desolate place because of people actions and also words. I would say it is a damn truth although in a way cliche. Yet this kind of cliche that when it is said out loud you ask yourself why the hell i havent thought about it earlier. And now a question arises how we can protect from people who hurt?

We need to know people will always hurt as people are not ideal, people make mistakes, people fail, people change.I've found my protection - it is music. It will always heal my hurt feelings, will always make me strong and of course happy. Music is even above love. I discovered it when i was a kid and read a biography of Claude Debussy. This biography was written as an interesting novel. I still remember a remarkable part. Debussy went with his significant other to meadow. They loved each other,they were happy. They spent great time there. They were huging each other. Yet for a short while his beautiful half felt that Debussy is far from her, he was completely absent minded. That moment Debussy was composing music in his head.

I dont know how many of you have such a protection like me. I mean music. If you have it and it is of a different kind the only duty you have now in life is to be happy. For whose who you dont have it I would like to suggest that you start searching for. I believe happiness is the best motivation for that.

Some time ago i met a great musician who told me girl it isnt that you love music you need it in order to live.You are just like me. I wonder why he said it. Did he see in my eyes that music will cure even the deepest wound. By the way I wrote that speech while listening to Mozart:-).

"Bye bye" song for him:-)

Duffy - Warcwick Avenue

When I get to Warwick Avenue Meet me by the entrance of the tube

We can talk things over little time

Promise me you won't step outta line
When I get to Warwick Avenue

Please draw the past and be true

Don’t say we’re okayJust because I’m here

You hurt me bad but I wont shed a tear

I’m leaving you for the last time baby

You think you're loving,But you don’t love me

And I’ve been confused

Outta my mind lately

You think you’re loving,But I want to be free, babyYou’ve hurt me.

When I get to Warwick Avenue

We’ll spend an hour but no more than two

Our only chance to speak once moreI showed you answers, now here’s the door

When I get to Warwick Avenue

I’ll tell baby there we’re through

Cause I’m leaving you for the last time baby

You think you’re loving,But you don’t love me

And I’ve been confusedAn outta my mind lately

You think you’re loving,But you don’t love meI want to be free, baby

You’ve hurt me.All the days spent togetherI wish for better,

And I didn’t want the train to come

Now it’s departed, I’m broken hearted

Seems like we never started

All those days spent together

When I wished for better

And I didn’t want the train to come. No, no.

You think you’re loving.

But you don’t love meI want to be free, baby

You’ve hurt me

You don’t love meI want to be free

Baby you’ve hurt me

Blogging

I think that I'll be much more active here next year.

Now, my mind is dedicated to other things.

It doesn't mean that I won't publish anything here:-).

Biography

I'm supposed to write my biography:-) and being famous isn't a reason.

It'll be an excellent chance for looking back at my life.
