Dedication: For all my best friends not yet married... that makes exactly 2(and they used to be 5)
Everybody is getting married!
First it was the high-school marriage wave, now it's the university marriage wave! I have nothing against married people... But what about us - the rest? The unmarried 25 old generation?
We do exist! And we do not want to get married yet!... Because we didn't find mister right yet, because we don't quit want small monsters yet, we don't want to depend on somebody, we aren't prepared to the couple only talks, we can't give up to the single party-all-night-long life! Because we don't know what we want yet! ... Are we the next outsiders generation?
Are we still normal persons if we are not married yet? Do we still have marriage potential? Or are we destined to die with the cat, looking at used-to-be photos?
If everybody is getting married now, who will we find at 30 years old? The ever single guys? The mother-for-always guys? The afraid to commit guys? The workaholics? The old ones? Or, in the best case, the divorced ones? :) [thinking]
And where will we find them from now on? In general, couples start during high-school, university or friends' marriages! The high-school years... gone; the university-years... gone, the marriages done, next come the baby-showers (there are only couples)... So, what's next for us? The funerals? :))
And will the single status still be cool at 30 years old? Or does it sound better divorced? :))) ok, I need a divorced
PS: Any Bride bouquets for rent? :)

free monkeys
There is a zoo (http://www.apenheul.nl/ ), where monkeys are free: they can come to you and more they still your food. Look carefully in the below photos, and you will see a monkey stilling a child's candy. :)
How did they manage to let monkey free?! Well, people are not allowed to touch them and monkeys don't know how to swim!

contemporary art = idea ???
Last Saturday I've been to RAI Amsterdam Contemporary Art Gallery: www.kunstrai.nl
It was interesting for the 15 euro enterce paied! Or, in other words, really happy that we decided to go with the tour-for-dummies.
It's fascinating to see the country art differences: europe - fighting being childish paintings and game-computers screen desktops, japan - manga paintings, india - half yes, half no.
The guide-tour said that we must look behind the colours, to see the painting. Does this mean that we should always focus on the idea, and forget about the form? Does this mean that the normal brush-paintings are old-fashioned? Then why do we still find Rembrand canvases to be the greatest? (note: greatest and not expansive, as the comtemporary-work standard price is 3600 euro)
I saw one great idea: The Unknown Women = tens of photos of unknown women with the back-side full of information about famous women. Tens of photos of perhaps great women who had the misfortune to be born in a wrong century! I took a photo, I read it's back-side and wonder what impresses me most: the deep-concentrated face or the written lines about the woman who influenced YOGA...(Scary, I do not remember the name to none of them!)...
Note: below is such a photo. Click on it to see it clearly and part of the back-side text
There was still a young painter with superb old-fashioned-portrets! They were all already sold out! So, it's not always the idea! Even "aceiasi Marie cu alta palarie" can still be great (if the heat is on-fashion)!
Tring to find other amazing-art-works (didn't succed), I ended up looking after gays and trying to figure out who are the artists... Not too bad for 15 euros.
[P.S. Definition:] interesting art = hated it, but I feel non-contemporary-intelligent if I say it.

women in IT
Think about all the women working in IT. Some of them are really great: I know one who leads a team of almost 20 developers, one who is the best in her 15-developers team and they are great (and they are in fashion). But I also know the rest: who still wonder if this is the job that really make them happy?...
So, as a woman, is working in IT like Shrimps at lunch?... They are great in the Shrimps-cocktail! But not in a day by day meal. They have to be the frontdish or the desert, otherwise you'll die from hunger.
But still, suppose destiny (= parents, a high-school crush) wants us IT women, where do we actually end up? Well, you've got 2 answers: web-design or machine-things. Being in the web-design we still keep the feminine aura (fashion, design, colors, writing, intuition), but we are not in the "boiling area" of making the "IT move".
And if we decide to make the IT-world move (= dealing with servers, architecture decisions) do we look as if we lost your feminine side? Do the others start to see us as the work-body and therefor we start to become a woman-pants? Or were we actually a man-brain trapped in a woman body and never realized?
