Tagged Don’t give me those looks. Maybe your life is better than mine but hey, guess what? You just think it is. We have all literally complied to a set of standards that we just live upon and don’t get a chance to get out this deadly daily routine.
As far as I could tell so far, the Danes tend to comply with this set of rules and have the following approach towards life: I work my ass off for the following 9 months, I can go on a holiday later and then I do it all over again. Well, I don’t criticise them, each country with their own attitude and ideas. I can bet that Romanians have a similar way of doing it but to a smaller scale (going to the Romanian mountain or to the Romanian sea-side). If you take most of the European nations, they all have almost the same approach but then again..
I want a different life. I want to be able to choose what I am going to do the following day: either have a perfectly scheduled day or nothing what-so-ever in my agenda. I want a life that offers me stability but still surprises me in a nice way each and every day. I crave for the moment where life will be more intriguing, a moment when I can say: “Wow mate, so much has happened I don’t even know where to start telling you about it”. The kind of life I have had in Romania for at least a couple of days. I guess I miss meeting total strangers and speaking with them about certain topics which don’t include one of the following words: Romania, Denmark, Aarhus, Skole, Kollegiet, Party in number…, Skjoldhoj, Brugsen, Going Home etc.
I also miss watching good movies that don’t get me falling asleep after 10 minutes. I miss watching Seinfeld, Supernatural, Married with Children, House, Survivor, The Amazing Race, True Blood, CSI, etc etc etc for the first time. I actually think that I miss the moments when I used to say: “This might be the most interesting TV discovery I have recently made! And we all know that watching something for the second time is never the same…
Even the internet is boring. I managed to actually feel like I have visited the entire internet. Yeah, it’s all dynamic and stuff but I kinda quit reading news websites since the moment you could see Michael Jackson’s name everywhere. I also feel sorry about him but I really didn’t care to find out any details about his memorial service and who performed over there. I feel like I have played every existing flash game there is (especially the ones about parking your car) and I have become a master in Tetris on my Motorola phone. I have never been defeated on it. When I was waiting for the Finnair from Bucharest to Helsinki I actually had to quit on purpose just so I could get on the plane, ffs.
And on top of that, I feel stranded. I feel like my hands are tied in performing any action that would eventually satisfy me on any level: social or personal. For some strange reason, I feel like I will never be able to cut the connection to my home country no matter how far I would go away from it. And that’s simply because every now and then I realise that there still are persons I still care about over there whom I can’t simply cut the contact with, just like that.
There is a saying: If you get into a shit, at least get into it fully. I am not sure I am ready to do that yet. I just need to take a very deep breath before and realise what I enjoy most: the shit I’m half way into or the air my other half is standing in.
Well, unfortunately this will be the life most of us will live : sleep – work – home – sleep, with the occasional beer, party, event or things that will make you grab a shotgun. Because this is what modern society has to offer. If you try to act any other way you are easily labeled as an antisocial. I still hope the path i chose will manage to kill just a little part of the daily routine.
On the news topic. Be happy you don’t have to watch the news here back home. You complain about Michael, i complain about Becali, Vadim etc..you know them. I’d rather see Jackson than Becali compared to the Count of Monte Cristo ( the count is my favorite character. )
Well..i guess the only way to have the life we want is to win the lottery, put the money in a bank and live with the interest.
Ps 1: I see you haven’t put M.A.S.H on your tv-show list. I find Alan Alda as Hawkeye to be brilliant.
Ps 2: If i ever win the lottery I’ll split the money with you. Promise.
Ps 3: De cand am ajuns victore noi filozofi ? Ca vad ca numai la astfel de posturi iti comentez. WTF?
You are very independent and you don’t like the routine! Good for you!
@Domnul_w: I am also fed up by EBA, Vadim and Becali since I read the Romanian newspapers daily. I am also fed up by Bianca Dragusanu or whatever, the girlfriend of Catalin Botezatu. Why the hell would I care reading about her in all the 3 biggest Romanian tabloids?
Alan Alda rules in there
1. I said “etc etc etc” which also includes MASH
2. Thanks mate, don’t forget to keep your word, just as Nicholas Cage did in “One Million Dollars Tip”
3. N-am idee. Nu uita totusi.. Viaţa-i greu!
@anonim: That’s true but that still doesn’t mean that I have any ideas on how to get out of the routine.. any advices?
ai devinit putin emonel?
) plictisit de tot? bai hai sa facem un club 
@Alecs, nu sunt emonel, nu am o emonica..
zi tu un club bun in afara de Social, cu preturi relativ acceptabile (<30kr o bere) si se rezolva.
ha ha nu m-ai inteles
) chiar esti down 
so… amandoi suntem prin aceleasi stari prin urmare tb sa INFIINTAM un club al nostru

hmm, ştii ce spunea baudelaire într-o poezie numită “păcatele”? că PLICTISUL e cel mai mare păcat dintre toate.
sunt atâtea lucruri simple de care să te bucuri, gen o budincă gătită de tine (şi nu ia mai mult de un sfert de oră), o carte interesantă, sau studierea anticipată a unei materii plăcute pe care o ai la şcoală.
păunescu zicea, dacă nu mă înşel, că avem în faţa ochilor totul, dar nu putem privi absolut nimic. şi ironic îi atribuie numele de “progres”. părerea mea e că avem prea puţin timp la dispoziţie pentru a ne plictisi, dacă ţinem cont de toate câte sunt pe lumea asta.
văd că ai totuşi o viaţă mult mai interesantă decât cea a populaţiei normale. nu înţeleg de ce nu profiţi de faptul că studiezi în danemarca (sper că am înţeles bine, după răsfoirea blogului timp de zece minute), că acolo poţi vedea tot felul de lucruri inedite, ori că eşti în românia şi că poţi vizita diverse locuri.
îmi cer scuze că mi-am permis “din prima” să fac morală de cotoroanţă, dar îmi vine cam greu să accept că unii se plictisesc într-o lume atât de fascinantă.
cu riscul de a fi rautacios sau prost inteles, plictiseala aceasta se manifesta doar in perioada de timp petrecuta in danemarca, in mare parte datorita bugetului care nu imi permite sa investesc in anumite activitati mai.. distractive.
si da, lumea este fascinanta, dar nu cand petreci o perioada mai lunga de timp in aceeasi zona industriala a orasului. ca sa intelegi de ce este asa de greu pe aici, iti recomand: blogul acesta unde este prezentata mai pe larg atitudinea daneza fata de straini.
multumesc pentru comentariu si inca o data iti spun ca te inteleg dar te rog sa intelegi si tu ca ceea ce am scris in articol nu este valabil in toate circumstantele pentru mine
