ISIS is "eradicated" and the national football team of Romania also :)

I read this morning that the last caliphate of ISIS was destroyed by the coalition of Arab and Kurdish soldiers backed up by the U.S. Army , British Forces and French special forces . This could turn into the end of the ISIS era that started in 2014. This is OK, but they do not have time to rest, because there are the believers in its radical ideology, that are out there. I think that the fight against terrorism will continue, and I also believe that this world is going to get better in time. I started the day reading this news and, got me nervous and raised my attention on the subject. As I said earlier, this war against ISIS is not over and the whole world should be aware. The same thing is happening with the national football team of Romania :))) At his moment we just got our ass kicked by the national football team of Sweden .  2-1 for Sweden and it is official, Romania no longer has a team of football to fear!!! No sir, even The Faroe Island has a shot at us :) - we used

Kill the repeat button!!

You know that moment when you hear one song from your favourite artist that keeps you hooked pressing the repeat button?! Yeah, you know the feeling. That beat that keeps you smiling, that gives you a good vibe and you find yourself trapped into one 3 day loop playing that only one song :) He is a hip hop artist that it is trending big time right now in Romania. His artist name is Macanache, a boy from Bucharest who was really deep underground until a couple of years ago. He made the big step into the light, as I said, a couple of years ago with a funky fresh rap style. The '80s are back with this guy, you know, the real hip hop that got me hooked with this music industry.  In a good way, any way, I used to wear large clothes, bling, and a lot of hats and listened to Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash , Public Enemy , Run DMC , Rakim , Eric B, LL Cool J , Big Daddy Kane , N.W.A., Slick Rick and many many others. If you ever heard one of those real artists, it is impossible not to

Work hard and get exhausted or hire one specialist!!

I am destroyed after this weekend, after "some" work in the garden, after scarifying the lawn...god damn, I ain`t doing this again. I will hire a specialist with the perfect tools, with powerful electric tools. I do not have a big yard, but for me, it was enough to get huge back pain at the end of the day. On Saturday, I got the hand scarifier - do not get one of those, get the electric thing - and for 3 hours I did a small part of the lawn. And you scarify, and you scarify, and you push, and you pull, and you get tired, and you do not stop because you have to finish the job, because you like the green lawn in the summer :) That`s me in the corner/That`s me in the spotlight, scarifying my religion :)) After 3 hours in the first day, I realised that it is going to be ok all I was doing. For the lawn and for me - just to get me stretched a little bit. After the first session of scarifying, I got myself as a bonus, one session of shopping. I got over it and the next morning,

Train your brain or how not to fall asleep for 5 hours

As I speak, I am participating at the 3rd event from Train your Brain , in Cluj . With a few hours before a 6-hour drive to Bucharest, this is not what I need :). The first part was a little bit intriguing, about this financial app, Beez . A fintech , with a little success in Romania. I can not say that it is a bad thing, not at all. Good for them for pursuing a dream that they got it working at the age of 32 - this is how old the CEO is. But the approach of the credit score in RO got me a little bit angry. Of course, Beez is the main key speaker of the event - and the only one!! A little publicity is nothing wrong, but saying that Beez is giving away free money to its users it's too much. Saying also that every bank in RO is hustling Romanians with credit card fees or with personal loans that have traps for the clients... this is a No No in business. The Q&A session was saved by the bell, by the moderator telling us that we have to get lunch :)) So, the Q&A was a litt

Again...in Cluj at Sisters Cafe!

I have arrived in Cluj  - I wrote another article about Cluj here - at 11:30 this morning and now I am drinking a peaceful beer  in a bar. At the bar. You will have a nice surprise if you click on this link :)) - I am sorry for this :))  This is the greatest achievement of today besides one good contract signed and a couple of visits just to check out the competition - maybe I will write sometime about my work, just to criticise it of course!:) After 5 and a half hours of driving, a few bites of meat at noon - I am on a strict diet that my girlfriend counts for me - and a good energy consumer meeting, after 30 minutes of swimming at the hotel pool everything needs to be on hibernate mood. But no, somehow I have the energy to get out of the room, visit another part of the competition, walk around the city for a while and still have my eyes open :) Let me criticise me for a second here: back in Bucharest, when I have a full day I just can’t wait to get home to give a big kiss to

Tesla + Mercedes = Love, every 10 years :)

10 years ago, Mercedes thought of buying some shares from Tesla - 10% - just enough to get Tesla out of the graveyard. Nice job Mercedes! You helped out the no 1 electric car manufacturer. Thumbs up! In 2014, Mercedes sold the Tesla shares for nearly $800 million. In this time, Mercedes and Tesla worked on integrating for the first time an electric battery pack  - made by Tesla of course - on the Smart model.  You had the chance, at that time, to own one exclusive model of electric Smart :) - one in a thousand, not in a million, like the song :)  My guess is they did not really believe in the future of e-cars and nowadays they got passed in US Sales Rankings by guess who - yes, Tesla - overcame Mercedes in the US during Q3. Since 2016, Mercedes repeatedly said that they were very happy with the collaboration with Tesla and that they would do it again, but nothing happened since :). They are crying for help when coming to electric vehicles but still, they are Mercedes! On the othe

Why would you need one extra grammar app beside your...brain :)

From the 1st grade, a bunch of people teaches us how to write. And we just learn how to do it. Since the 1st grade until high-school/college/university/ - I mentioned all the upper teaching institutes because some of us chose to stop after high school, I mean Harrison Ford , Tom Hanks ,  Tiger Woods , Lady Gaga , and of course Bill Gates , Mark Zuckerberg , Steve Jobs . The same happened to James Cameron, also - I do not really like him so I do not add a link :) So, they teach us how to write when we are young, and guess what. as we get older - because no one is getting younger - we still do not forget how to write. I mean how to write with proper grammar. Nowadays we consider ourselves too tired, always too busy and we look for any life hack shortcut, just lying to us that we can make our lives easier. It is much easier to exercise the only tool that keeps us going every-day, OUR BRAIN. If we are writing a text and every 2 minutes we go back to rephrase, to check our grammar, t
