Can I borrow $25?

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old son waiting for him.

SON: Daddy, may I ask you a question?

DAD: Yeah, sure, what is it?

SON: Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?

DAD: That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?

SON: I just want to know, please tell me, how much do you make an hour?

DAD: ‘If you must know, I make $50 an hour.’

SON: ‘Oh,’ the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: ‘Daddy, may I please borrow $25?’

The father was furious, ‘If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don’t work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.’ The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn’t ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. ‘Are you asleep, son?’ He asked. ‘No daddy, I’m awake,’ replied the boy. ‘I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier’ said the man. ‘It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $25 you asked for.’

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. ‘Oh, thank you daddy!’ He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. ‘Why do you want more money if you already have some?’ the father grumbled. 'Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,’ the little boy replied. ‘Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.’

E o povestioara pe care am gasit-o pe net si care ar trebui sa ne puna pe toti pe ganduri, indiferent daca avem un serviciu, daca suntem, elevi, studeti etc. Viata nu ar trebui sa ne alunece printre degete fara sa fi petrecut suficient timp langa cei care conteaza cu adevarat pentru noi, cei aproape de inimile noastre! So, vorba aia, sa luam aminte ;)

Mami, Tati v-a iubesc!

To a friend.

I was meaning to write this to you today but it would just seem odd. So I’m posting it on my blog since no one will know who it’s to. Heck no one reads my blog anyway.

I saw your pic today and it made me smile. I had one of those days when you just need someone to sit and listen to you . There are people in your life who can bring a smile to your face just by being around and not saying anything. Your picture did that for me today so I wanted to say “Thank You”.

As a card I once got from someone said “My world is a better place … because you’re in it”.

Constantine

Filmul, care se bazeaza pe cartea John Constantine: Hellblazer, beneficiaza de multe doze de umor negru, replici ascutite, de charisma lui Keanu Reeves, interpretari de exceptie din partea tuturor celorlalti actori, muzica de efect si regie "adevarata" (Francis Lawrence a regizat mai apoi si "I am Legend" cu Will Smith).

Keanu Reeves e sarcastic, nepoliticos, arogant, egoist, autoironic, e un personaj torturat de puterea sa de a vedea adevarata fata a oamenilor. Slab de caracter, incearca sa isi puna capat zilelor in tinerete dar este adus la viata de puterea divina pentru a face voia domnului pe pamant.

Ma fascinat prezenta actorului Peter Stormare in rolul lui "Lucică"

in filmul asta plin de referinte mistice si apocaliptice.

Memorabila e si secventa in care Constantine, prin puterea jertfei este eliberat de "datoria" sa.

Secventa in care arata degetul diavolului mi se pare pur si simplu exagerata.. in orice caz, Constantine e unul din cele mai bune filme ale lui Keanu!

În fericire

George Bacovia

Sunt clipe când toate le am...
Tăcute, duioase psihoze -
Frumoase poveşti ca visuri de roze...
Momente când toate le am.

Iată, sunt clipe când toate le am...
Viaţa se duce-n şir de cuvinte -
Un cântec de mult... înainte...
Momente când toate le am...

Inima

Nichita Stanescu

Bate, şi eu ştiu că bate şi vreau eu să bată.
Bate şi-o aud întruna şi nu mai vreau să bată
De fiecare dată, ca-ntâia dată.
De fiecare dată, ca ultima dată.
N-are culoare, n-are, ca miezul de piatră, ca miezul pietrei, de-ar bătea miezul de piatră.
Nimeni n-a văzut-o niciodată.
Mint ce-i care spun c-au văzut-o vreodată...
Ea bate,şi eu ştiu că bate, şi vreau eu să bată.
O aud întruna, până nu mai vreau să bată.
Dar auzul meu şi ea sunt doar o bucată, un singur bloc de piatră nedespicată.

The Little Things That Make Me Feel Better

....atunci cand "tu" razi, cand zambesc si nu stiu de ce, cand sorb prima gura din cafeaua fierbinte, cand ma striga cineva la fereastra numai ca sa ma salute, cand ploua cu soare, cand e furtuna, cand rasare soarele, cand ma trezesc dintr-un cosmar ingrozitor, cand visez marea, cand suna telefonul dupa miezul noptii, cand mananc glazura unei prajituri (de ciocolata), cand ma simt cel mai important om din lume, cand ma simt frumoasa, cand imi fac planuri de a schimba lumea(cu andrEa), cand alerg cu bicicleta si imi pica lantul, roata.., cand impat o ciocolata cu cineva si trisez, cand vine Mos Craciun, cand numar stelele, cand invat ceva nou, cand ma tii in brate, cand te fac sa razi, cand inca nu stiam ca oamenii mor, cand am ramas pentru prima data singura acasa, cand o sa merg cu trenul, cand am simti acel mare gol din stomac, cand citesc o poezie frumoasa, cand imbrac o rochie noua, cand vad un film bun, cand cainele imi saruta obrazul, cand ma-m indragostesti, cand ma stramb in oglinda, cand am plans de fericire.

..si totul incepe de aici
