Are You Going To Finish Strong?

A few posts below I mentioned the phenomenon I call the at random opened book. Well, it doesn't refer only to books; it refers to everything which comes your way "accidentally" just the moment you need it the most. It happened to me today...again.

It has happened more and more often recently that I don't comment and write much about the items I post. It's just that lack of words, you know... I have to say, this one struck me a lot!

It's about failing...

It's about falling down...

It's about having the feeling you are unable to get back up...

It's about getting back up...

It's about not giving up...

It's about finding strength again...

It's about finishing strong!

What's Going On Down There?

Something has been going on in Bulgaria for the past few weeks. But I still can't figure out what it is. I read the press, I get only isolated pieces of information but I can't get the puzzle done. More interesting is the fact that no one from the people I have talked to - living in Bulgaria - can really explain what has been in fact going on there. I know it's some kind of a chaos that's taken hold of the whole country but I don't know what dimensions it has already taken. Do we get to see the 1997's January events again - 12 years later?

I'm really curious to find out myself. And will then surely comment on what I'm going to see with my own eyes in the next 2-3 weeks. From what I have seen by now... well, I think I lack the words to describe it. Or maybe I'm just afraid I would draw any wrong conclusions.

Anyway, for now I can only hope that it is not that bad...

"I'm on the run!"

I woke up with this song today. I hadn't heard it for years. And when I say for years I mean for years. I loved it when I was younger. The thing is, it was at the time when I already spoke English and still I think I have never really purposefully reflected on the lyrics. Today the song just came on (have I mentioned how much I enjoy the shuffle function?) and somehow my sleepy brain got to listen to the lyrics. It's so much in there! I couldn't help posting it... Be on the run! Always!


"Blinded by Science"
-- Foreigner

Blinded by science, I'm on the run
Blinded by science, where do I belong?
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run

I worry 'bout the world that we live in
I'm worried by all the confusion
I wonder 'bout the lies I've been reading
I wonder where this madness is leading

Is this a road going nowhere?
Or is someone leading us somewhere?
I can't believe we're here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in

Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm not an appliance, so don't turn me on
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run

What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run

I worry 'bout the world that we live in
I'm worried by all the confusion
I wonder 'bout the lies I've been reading
I wonder where this madness is leading

Is this a road going nowhere?
Is someone leading us somewhere?
I can't believe we're here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in

Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm not an appliance, don't turn me on
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run

Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm blinded by science, on the run
