foaie verde…siminoc


i-auzi aicisea:

Antennaria dioica – parpian, flocoşele (pl.), linariţă, măruncă, părălei (pl.), siminoc, floarea-patului, laba-mâţii, scânteiuţă-de-munte, sunătoare-de-munte, talpa-mâţei, talpa-pisicii


se pare totusi ca poporul roman nu a fost un bun botanist de-oarece s-a trezit unu’ care sa zica:

Helichrysum arenariumsiminoc, mărgică

isnt’it nice?

pearl jam: indifference

Indifference

I will light the match this mornin’, so I won’t be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon night will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I’m free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day in Hell…
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah…

I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh, I’ll keep takin’ punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won’t change direction, and I won’t change my mind
How much difference does it make
Mmm, how much difference does it make…how much difference…

I’ll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference (2x)
How much difference does it make (2x)

muzica si textul: Abbruzzese, Ament, Gossard, McCready, si Vedder (Pearl Jam)

iar pentru cei carora nu li se deschid link-urile, zice cam asa:

Eddie Vedder about “Indifference”:
“The way I look at it is this…On average, we have maybe 50 to 60 years on the planet. And we probably have 20 years when we’re a vital presence, when you can actually do something with your life. So what are you going to do with that time? Are you gonna enjoy it, not get involved? Or are you gonna try and do something to make some other peoples’ lives better than they are, even if it means going through hell? Even if those people don’t even appreciate what you’re trying to do. Even if you’re not sure yourself that what you’re doing is going to make any bit of difference.

in loc de explicatie: desi nu reusesc sa ma tin de chestiile de durata, azi o sa inaugurez o categorie noua, pe numele ei “me vs music”. oricum ati traduce in romaneste, va rog eu nu traduceti “eu impotriva muzicii” ca nu e bine. pe aici o sa gasiti de regula lucrurile pe care le-as fi spus eu daca eram in stare. dar cum nu sint, va bag in stare cu ajutorul altora.
engioi!

lecturi alternative: in zgomot de masele supte


‘toti cei care ma cunoaste’, stiu ca sint o persoana ‘muzicala’. In sensul ca imi place muzica. Deasemeni sint si o persoana foarte pretentioasa, asa ca la intersectia celor doua multimi de atribute personale se regaseste urmatoarea afirmatie, e adevarat, destul de vaga: imi place muzica buna. nu-i asa, tuturor ne place muzica buna, dar preferam sa definim termenul ‘bun’ dupa cum ne place noua.
imi mai place deasemeni national geographic, pe care incerc, de 3-4 ani incoace sa o colectionez cu ardoare.
iata asadar un profil redus al subsemnatului: middle class, cu vedere ingusta (nu-i asa, astia din middle class au numai figuri in cap iar creier ceva mai putin, ca de-aia-s ei o masa de manevra!) caruia ii place muzica buna! 🙂
destul cu laudele. unde voiam sa ajung: va recomand o lectura din ultimul NG, o gasiti partial si pe site (pentru varianta integrala mi-e teama ca trebuie sa dati fuguta la chioscul de ziare sau la supermarketul din colt), despre hip-hop. Articolul e scris
de un ‘mosulica‘ de vreo 50 de ani, caruia nu-i place hip-hop-ul. Stie insa ceva jazz, din cite am citit. si e mai inchis la culoare decit eminem.
Va rog sa nu trageti concluzii despre mine, nu-mi place hip-hop-ul in totalitate, ci doar ala bun (ma repet, daca n-ati prins ideea!)
ca sa va incit, va dau extrasul meu preferat din articolul cu pricina:

…am trecut peste acea muzică la fel cum sari peste o groapă în trotuar.
O auzeam răzbătând din maşini şi de pe alei, de la Paris şi până la Abidjan, şi, cu toatea astea, nu o ascultam niciodată. Se revărsa bubuind din boxe din Johannesburg până în Osaka şi totuşi mă prefăceam că nu o aud. Trebuie să fi trecut de sute de ori pe lângă colţul străzii St. James cu Fulton, unde un puşti
gras, pe nume Christopher Wallace, alias Biggie Small, îşi distra prietenii cu rime, şi totuşi nici măcar nu-i observasem.

Lectura placuta!

despre blog, numai de bine

mi-am inceput noul ‘an online’ cititnd un articol interesant pe brandchannel

Brands Navigate the Blogosphere
by Abram Sauer
[1-Jan-2007]

Yet many brands fail to respond correctly. And it matters more than ever. According to BIGresearch’s June 2006 Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, 87 percent of consumers research products online before buying them in a traditional store environment.

So, what to do? While each case is somewhat special, there are a few rules for what to do and, maybe more importantly, what not to do, including the three biggest no-nos. But first, a little context (because context is everything).
