Un pic neobisnuit, insa postul asta e in Romana … pentru ca asa mi-a fost pasata leapsa de la Vali. Asa deci, ar trebui sa spun vreo cateva lucruri care nu se stiu despre mine – Vali stie destul de multe, cred ca prea multe, asa ca o sa fie putin greu, dar sa vedem…

1. Imi place sa gatesc – desi nu fac asta des, pentru ca nu imi place sa gatesc doar pentru mine si pentru ca stau si cam putin pe acasa. In plus, nici nu cred ca ma pricep foarte bine, insa important e ca imi place. Poate gasesc si un instructor in acest sens :).

2. Ascult si imi place foarte mult rock-ul, metal in speta – imi place foarte mult Sepultura, Slayer, Soulfly, Pantera, Machine Head si multi altii de acest gen. In aceiasi directie, prin liceu / facultate am avut si parul lung, desi probabil ca acum nu par genul.
3. Acum ceva ani detestam sa ma imbrac in costum, insa acum mi se pare foarte comod, este foarte usor sa te hotarasti cu ce te imbraci in fiecare zi :))

4. Primul job a fost cel de muncitor necalificat in constructii – cu toate astea nu am invatat sa fac prea multe prin casa, prefer sa apelez la cei care se pricep intr-adevar.

5. Nu imi plac oamenii care fac lucrurile incet, care mint, care promit ceva si nu fac. Sunt destul de critic si putin tolerant in privinta asta, putin arogant.

6. Desi am facut recrutari si interviuri cativa ani buni, nu ma pricep sa dau interviuri. Deloc. Las o prima impresie destul de slaba, cred. Asta din cauza ca, dintr-un motiv greu explicabil, nu imi dau silinta la interviuri.

7. Nu sunt superstitios, nu cred in horoscop, destin si multe altele de acest gen. Cred ca asta nu e ceva chiar deosebit, after all….

Cam asta a fost. Greu de spus mai multe. Cat despre leapsa, luati de aici: Christina, Andrei si Mihai.

Yes, the mood has now changed significantly. After the snowy slopes in Zell Am See followed the sunny streets of Nice and Monte Carlo – a superb weekend which led to the discovery of an amazing part of Europe, some amazing landscapes and – most important – a very positive change of mood and spirit.

To keep it short – before the music starts – Nice is one of those romantic places which combines the beauty of the see and promenade with the small, crowded and full of life streets of the old part of town. An unique combination of colors and senses, it can lift your spirit easily.

Monte Carlo on the other way has the splendor of a high class location, where seeing a Ferrari on the street or dozens of yachts in the harbour its something common, as well as walking down a sunny street with orange trees.

It all combined in a weekend of relaxation, some – I hope – beautiful pictures. Also, a song which goes perfectlly with all of this – Joe Dassin – Le petit pain au chocolat.

As some of you might know, I had the pleasure of starting 2007 in a ski resort, in Zell Am See – Austria.

The trip was excellent and Zell Am See is a fantastic resort for the ski lovers. The slopes are excelent, very decent prices and the resort itself is very nice. The only low mark can be given to the Apres-Skis, which are not that popular. But you can always go for the ones in Kaprun or Kitzbuhel, which are very close to Zell Am See.

Another good point can go to the excelent conditions for snowboarding in Zell Am See – the snow was excelent, quite a lot of powder and a lot of oportunities to go off-piste.

And since this blog is mostly about music, the track of this trip is one I heard in Kaprun, in an Apres-Ski – Michael Jackson – They Don’t Care About Us. Quite an old song, but very popular in its time and still very nice for some after-skiing entertainment. It was a fantastic image to hear all the people in the bar singing this in the same time – really a great atmosphere !

Pictures from this trip are to be found here.
