Olympus

I have really missed a trip to a mountain. So, today I make a promise to myself: on saturday, I 'll go to Olympus again. I don't want to have some company, so I'm thinking of visiting the national park which is safe. I put some pictures from my last visit.

Reason or Emotion?

They say that one takes a decision based either on reason or on emotions. My question is where the reason is based? On emotions, maybe? I like this theory.

It's too darn hot

Last week, I spent several hours studying at Starbucks (Kamara, Thessaloniki). There was a time that I was struggling to understand a couple of lines from my book, when this song started to play. I really wanted Ella Fitzgerald to shut up! However, it 's a very nice song, so finally I bought it. Enjoy it!

Joseph Campbell, anthropologist

I read the following quote while turning pages of a book about myths:

"Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths",

 Joseph Campbell, anthropologist.

I am not intended actually to comment on the quote, I liked it mostly because of its sound (!). However, in this way I discovered the existence of comparative mythology.
I do believe that myths in various cultures have a common origin, and now I discover (a lifetime later) that this is a field widely researched.

Seriously, after finishing my MBA on finance, I should study anthropology; For each man should study something for his pleasure once in his lifetime!

Another funny quote

"A world with men ran half our homes and women ran half our institutions would be just as much better world."!!

Quote of the day

"I can assure you that I won't forget you. However, I'm so proud that I 'd rather spend another day alone."

Me!

I wish I could listen to my own music!

I have a problem. I use to write songs occasionally, both music and lyrics. My problem is that sometimes I die to listen to them, the same way I listen to music in Youtube, just as I imagine them. One of the greatest inventions would be a machine able to copy a song from my mind to a cd!
