Perception

People generally see what they look for and hear what they listen for
(to kill a mocking bird).

Ever wondered why things that appear criminal to us seem to leave others uninterested?
Perception is the ultimate example of how subjectivism exists in our every day lives.
For example vegans and vegetarians cannot understand how people who eat meat are guilt free if they know how animals have been treated before killed and packaged,
On the other hand those who do eat meat do think that it is cruel to kill animals but believe it is vital for their diet therefore that need is superior to the animal's wellfare.

Perception is very interesting to look at in personal and professional relationships.
We often see how people in  relationships who have a totally different view, or rather perception, get angry, offended etc for different things and don't realise often why the other person gets angry or upset with certain behaviours.

At work for example we see how people see it is ok to ask collegues personal questions as they don't seem to see it as offensive where it can be actually pretty rude.
Perception is a result of many factors eg: personal, experiential, social etc. We see how women have different perceptions of what is required to be done in order to have a succesful relationship whereas men's views differ.

We also see that culture can have an effect on  the perception of people. What is acceptable in one country is not in another.
But perception can cause many problems most probably in communication in interpersonal communication. This includes all types of relationships.

We see how generations are in constant conflict in ideological issues and how big generation gaps can be huge. It is often that we see parents that do not understand their childrens needs and consider funny or unimportant what their children do.
But I have often found that perception is linked to relativity. How see things is relative for each of us. Things that we see as good eg a meal might not be for someone else. I always find interesting when someone says words to me such as : good, bad, hot, cold, beautiful, how I get different answers from different people. This is why things are relative for each of us.
My favourite and most obvious example of different perceptions is the half full/empty glass.
Some see it as full others as empty. This is a very easy example of how different people can see things differently.


Perception though is much more complex that whether a glass is half full or not. If perception differs so much in terms of the glass imagine how much more complex it may be in interaction.
Perception and relativity as much as it can be a reason for creating many problems can also be vital in our lives.
Imagine a world where we all see things in the same way, think in the same way.
Every single relationship we would create
would look like a repetition of the last,
We have friends which we value amongst all for the unique way which they see things and their views which we usually ask for their opinion and advice.
Imagine how flat the world would feel if we were all the same. This does not create happines. Being the same does not ensure a better world as the sickness that is implanted inside of us would be so much greater.

Think of how perception can make all people dislike one person and vice versa. If all people liked the same things, rejected the same things, and if all negative traits within a personality were present in all people.
However many issues the subjectivity within perception creates, it is an unavoidable factor which does make life a little more interesting.
Imagine going out on a first date? If all people  shared a perception that would not make them very interesting to meet as you would allready know what they are like.
How much fun does this take out of meeting a new person for the first time, dicovering them and discovering you with them?

However many issues difference in perception may create, it equally not only resolves others but makes the world much more interesting in our every day interactions and experiencing people.
Except when we meet arseholes - in that case you just want to wack them.

The Guardian Angel and Azazel

Angels and demons are not creatures in the bible.
They exist. From the day we are born we are surrounded by them. I remember being told when I was young
that we all have our guardin angel who sits next to us when we are asleep.

It was only till later in life I realised that guardian angels and Azazel are the people who are part of it.
I have met few angels. Not necessarily my own but they are around us. I have seen them. In the faces of those who care for those in need.
Those who are conscious of the harm we cause in nature.
Those who give their lover to the homeless and those who care for sick and stray animals. Even in the faces of those who have only little and yet share what they have with others less fortunate than them.

There are angels around us but we don't notice 'cause their wings and halo's are invisible. We are used to identify angels as something holly up in heaven - creatures looking down on us but how else do we call those who look out for us, save us, do good?
We each find our guardian angel in different places and faces. That of a mother, a friend, a lover. Sometimes we do not even realise we have one in our life till it is too late.



Ofcourse there cannot be a world of guardian angels without the existense of Azazel in our lives.
I have come across too many in  different forms.
They usually disguise themselves and look like well intentioned friends and family. Which is quite unfortunate 'cause family you don't get to choose and quite frequently are made to put up with those mean bastards.

Those who are two faced, those who create wars. Those who harm people and animals without a second thought.
I have in my life seen Azazel hidden inside many. Im sure you all have - he is usually behind a smilling face or an attractive person. You would be surprised to discover he is even behind that person who laughs frequently and is sociable - the one you can never imagine is such a fake, mean person.
The ones who cannot bear to see you in bliss and happy and try to ruin it for you even by their actions without limiting themselves to words.


Azazel like angels, do not always appear in human form.
I am fortunate enough to have two guardian angels in my life. One in a human form and one in a non-human form, hairy, big eared and foot cocker spaniel.

Im sure if you give it some thought you will too can think of at least one guardian angel that yo have met and many Azazels......

Ghosts

Nothing haunts us like the past.
Although ghosts have been often the object of fear for the little ones, hidding under the beds,
 as we get older the ghosts seem to be more terrifying and persistent, not leaving with dawn!

Whether you believe in ghosts in the metaphysical sense or not, you cannot ignore the ghosts you create growing up.
Whether that is the fear of dying alone which we see as the main drive in many people who get married to people they don't love or the unforgiving feeling on the things we haven't or have said to people, the ghosts we create are a personal responsibility.

The ghosts are different for everyone. Outspoken people are hardly haunted by things they haven't said opposed to introverts for example as they usually speak their mind. Although I must say being an outspoken person myself, something that doesn't get said, can bug you for all eternity.


 Insecure people I have seen are most commonly haunted by thoughts of being alone, not being liked, regardless of the fact if they like or not the other person. Insecure people I have found to be the most common examples of these 'haunted' personalities as they usually do things to please others in order to be liked or buy other's love as they think they are not worth it. Insecure people are most commonly haunted by their own insecirities as it creates many issues and feelings of loneliness, unacceptability, worthlessness etc. These are usually the type of people who create their own shit storm and then cry when it rains shit!


Ofcourse all types of people have their ghosts and they differ for everyone.
 The most creative types seem to carry them with them hidden in dark corners of their minds. Creative peole seem to be tornmented by the ammount of intelligence they have and we have seen such examples in the cases of many artists which have unfortunately lost it and left us far too soon (eg: Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain etc). Creative people are very much similar to the idealist and well read individuals with a high sense of social responsibility and equality issues.

I have been thinking in the past that the more knowledgeable and well read someone is, the more depressed they must be, being aware of the things that are happening eg: politics, social issues etc. The unaware are happier in their own little world. Of course these are educated, creative individuals who have a sense of social responsibility and not the type that is interested in making money in all costs.

Ofcourse ghosts may be of emotional states. I have experienced through the relationships of friends how an old friend, ex partner or things we have said can haunt us to eternity. This ofcourse all linked to people we once cared about. There must be at least one thing we have regreted  to have said or not in our life, even the people we did not set straight when we should have and decided to be the ones who will not drop to the other person's level.

Turns out the only good thing that comes out of not giving shitheads a mouthful is that you make it easy for the shithead. Letting them off easy instead of making them hear what an arse hole they are.
This works the other way as well. Ghosts can be the things we did do, like not treat people who deserved it better although this does not have the same emotional gravity as we don't exprerience pain and these usually turn to feelings of regret rather than ghosts.



Ghosts can be mean little fuckers. They can sneak up one day and start following you around. If you are the ocd type, you are fucked. Can't get those out of your mind even when you sleep!!!!
They are like a fucking curse.
The ghosts we each have inside us are different for each one of us. We create them ourselves as we are not born with them, like phobias. We are responsible for creating them, keeping them and killing them ourselves. No one make you feel guilty, do things that make you guilty or not feel bad about your actions.

We are the creators of our own shitstorms and responsible for the ghosts we bring to life by what we do and how we go about our relationships.

Vampires

This isn't much of a jolly post - nothing 'Christmassy'!

But it is something I have been giving a lot of thought in the past few months from stuff  that has been happening around me, stories I have heard from friends and past experiences.

Vampires for me are something very different to the 'creatures of the night' the so called 'faithful' call and arre scared of. For me vampires is something alot scarier than that, people you interact with everyday:your boss, co-workers, in laws and so on and are well disguised with the best intentions.
I have recently found that friends or rather so-called friends can be vampires to.

Now how can vampires be associated to people?
Well for starters I don't think all individuals are human.
Secondly, some people suck the energy out of you like vampired feast on blood.  It might not be as grotesque or at least not visibly but it is worse because you don't realise it is happening!

I have in the past encounterest people who I didn't realise till too late they
would be jealous of a success or relationship I may have had at the time or even
could not even stand the thought that you were happy and they could not feel
any joy in their lide (regardless of the fact you had nothing to do with their misserable little life).

Mother in law Vampire!

Mothers in law are a classic. To be fair there are some super dooper mothers in laws you feel so lucky to have but then...... there are the other oness. The 'I want to make you so miserable cause you took my son away from me- you good for nothing whore' ones.Im sure not only married women can relate but also poor ex girlfriends.
This woman for some reason is ever so nice to everyone else- a little fuckin' angel that makes it impossible for you to complain about because you will come off as the bad one!

Now the boss Vampire.
The assohole who for some reason is always a man or woman -doesn't really matter which - isn't getting any at home and will make sure you don't either by taking out all your fucking energy, making you work overtime and ensure you get home nakerd.
The boss-vampire is the kind that will make you regret being there, ruin your enthusiasm for work and will make your imagination run to dark places of the things you want to do to him/her and the pain you want to inflict upon them.
The boss vampire is the type that will suck out all your positive energy and will for work and creativity and will make you look repeatedly at your watch till its time to mentally stick up your middle finger to him and leave for home.
Ofcourse if you are in a freelance area of work this goes for the people that hire you! Don't for a second think you will enter a arse-hole free zone - ahahhahha!

The friend vampire!
The friend vampire is for me different types of people. There is always the one that you don't realise is an actual frenemy and not really your friend. The type that is gealous of your success and trying to constantly put your enthusiasm down with the sole purpose of making you feel as miserable as them. These people feed off your misery, unhappiness, misfortune. Like the vampire gets energy from blood, the frenemy gets that from sucking out every little bit of positive energy. The person who will not let you get a taste of your success, excitement for your new job or when you meet the love of your life. These people feel true happiness and bliss to see you in misery and sadness but will appear ever so supportive to make sure you never are happy!
This is the same with relatives as well! Constantly making you the black sheep of the faamily and questioning your dress style, your new boyfriend, lifestyle choices etc.


The second category are actual friends, well intentioned and faithful.
Thes poor arseholes are anything but frenemies, will be there when you need them and are genuily happy with your successes.
BUT!!!! Sometimes they can suck out so much energy from you that you wouldn't believe. Now you might wonder - how can this be possible for such people?
I'll tell you right now and Im sure you will relate at some point!
There is the friend that is always depressed (commonly not for any particular or serious reason eg: starvation, health problems etc). The person you have known and since day one have never heard them say they are doing ok, they are well etc.
The fucking person who is always, with no frikin excepetion 'I have been better' I often get the urge to replie: 'really? when? cause I have never heard you being better'. 
Now I don't know for you but for me, this kills my buzz....


There is the friend that always asks for your opinion, you are happy to help, you always find some really good advice, put thought in it and give all your energy to do so and then they never take it, still do what they would initially do regardless of asking you and they do this repeatedly! Now Im not suggesting the person should do what you say but I'm saying whats the point of asking me if you never will take my advice and do this every fucking time????
Then there is the friend which will always - but always- will start talking about his or her problems and will not let you talk at all! This could be both in terms of compaining about their life or just a person who never stops blabbering!!!

All these types I have found over the years are amongst us but we don't seem to realise the ammount of energy they sucj out of us. We usually see them as arse holes or people we have to put up with or simply having to deal with cause that's what a good daughter/ son in law or friend has to do.
Im sure you can relate to at least one of the above vampires.....

Gone girl

Its been a while since last time I wrote post-especially a review!
Last night I went to see gone girl with Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike.
This was initially a novel by Gillian Flyn which came out as a film recently.


The story is about a married couple which got married being madly in love. On the morning of their 5th wedding aniverasary the wife goes missing. The film takes you through a journey listening to the wife talk of how thinks change with time, writting in her journal expressing fears that her husband might hurt her.


When she dissapears, all eyes fall on the husband and a huge search begins for Amy, the wife.


The film has a really nice story, great acting and definitely keeps you interested till the end even though it 149 minutes long.

Really really enjoyed it as it takes further than simply the dissapearance of a wife. It makes you think about relationships with family and partners.
Would m ost deffinitelly recommend it!

Guilt

Guilt......
Why? Why is it that people do things that turn out to be against their conscience?
It is interesting how we first do something on impulse or out of spite and then regret it and feel guilty, probabl, well normal people do anyway, can't sleep etc etc.

This is a very interesting post for me to writte because I have been fortunate enough to be guilt-free most
of my life! This ofcourse meant a lot of doing 'the right thing' so I avoided experiencing guilt to the minimum at least which I must say is quite a fucking waste of time. People are never happy anyway always asking more of you.

Having said that, I must say I have met lots of guilt free people - does that mean they were so ethical or nice?
NOOOOOOOO. Just arseholes. Insensitive, arogant, don't give a shit about no one else but themselves arseholes who could cause pain to others and hear them snore 5 mins later.

So I wonder. Are they lucky or just inhumane?
How many times have I asked myself how nice would it be not to care so much what other think
or say or feel but guess what?
There's a balance people-doesn't have to be one or the other.

So how do you do that? Well I treated others as I would like to be treated BUT treated 'them as they did me!
So Im nice but wont get scrued over either.

It still is though a wonder how many people are the exact opposite to the insensitive guiltless people - they are the other extreme. The ones that feel guilty for no reason most of the time and always try not to step on toes and are constantly trying to please others quite often out of insecurity as to be liked.

I know a few of those too-always asking if they said or did something that made you angry or caused you any kind of unpleasant feeling!

Balance people - the answer is balance - again, doesn't have to be one or the other cause as we know there are a lot of people who will never be happy or pleased with anything you do!

I have always found to guilt to be coming from our own morals and ethic codes. It is through our standards we see something as good or bad and the according behaviour so when we do something against what we think as good manners or behaviour we feel guilty.

I have seen this change with generations as their ethics codes change. For example my mum might feel guilty for things I wouldn't- I find what people consider as good or bad to be linked quite often to their level of guilt.
Of course this is just some food for thought!

The Grand Budapest Hotel

I must say although I was expecting a different kind of film, this did not me leave me dissapointed. It is one of those commedies offering no silly laughs - but for me a true commedy!

A funny film about the history of a luxurious hotel
in the 1930's which saw the glory up to the 2nd world war.

Appart from the familiar faces with great performances by Ralph Fines, F. Murray Abraham, Harvey Keitel.etc, the photograpdy is beautiful, taking you to the lovely locations through the story of a concierge and his trusted lobby boy who became a dear friend.

Definitely recomended to watch, something of quality with good actors, a nice comedy you will definitely enjoy watching.

Friendships

As often as I can remmember myself, I had a specific idea of friendship.
I always seemed to have attached this word with the idea of loyalty trust and support
towards those you call friends.

As I grew up, like most people I know, I did taste the ungreatfullness
of people I considered friends realising that laughts and shared experiences with
people were not as meaningful to others as for me.
 Adolescence was the first time in my life that I realised that I seemed to use
the word friend with a certain weight, one which not many people shared with me.
I realised how lightly people use the word
friend, something which I must admit 2 decades later, still surprises me on how
easily people call others friends and how low those friends are in their priorities.

I have to say although I have experienced personally as well as have heard from others stories of betrayal amongst friends I still somehow feel gobsmacked when history repeates itself and come across such a situation again.
Seems like we never learn or is it just that there is always that little ray of hope burried deep inside a little dark corner of our minds?


I remember saying to myself and hearing many people express the same thought how nice it would be to have friends or group of friends like the tv series 'friends'. To be honest if such a group exists it is quite rare in my view. I always thought it is non existent and that is what made it so desirable-like a great love story it was something unrealistic or lets not be so pessimistic something really hard to find with limited chances.

Ofcourse not talking of extreme though not so uncommon cases of best friends hooking up with friends boyfriends this thanksully I have not lived to see yet.

What came an inspiration for this post was thought on loneliness initially after experiencing a few bad and stressful weeks because of work and stuff. I then decided that I need to have more fun or do things for myself just so I can balance out my daily routine and not have days full of work and running around but also do things for myself which I enjoy or maybe go out more often, something which I rarelly do these past months.

So I after thinking of what sort of things I liked and of course what my finances allow, I decided not only start going to the gym but also do something fun over the weekends like going out with friends more often.

I was never the kind of person who believed in having lots of friends - I was always a supporter of having few but good friends instead of lots of people to hang out with but not really close.
Even so, over the years people tend to be separated by distances. Even so I must admit in emergencies I always had a few people to turn to for help.
So anyway, after thinking of what to do in order to balance out all this work and stress and spending time going out seemed a really good option, I realised something disturbing. I realised how I spend my days in the past few months and how often my phone rang.

Needless to say my phone is not the busiest. I also realised that any attempts I made to go out where unsuccesfull in the past few months-then realising it was not just the past few months-
because time seemed to be something that people value way too much give it to you.
This is what made me realise peoples need for social media- I finally got how it may feel to experience loneliness in such a level that they are in need of interacting even if that means behind a screen at home with people they don't know. Something I never cares for- I prefer face to face interactions out in the real world.

Someone once said to me something when I was 17 which I didn't realise at that time but getting older it makes more sense with time. He had told me that when you are low or in need of help, even a person you don't know might help you. If you fall in the street a paserby might even stop to help you up, but there are only few that will trully be there and genuinely happy for you with your happiness and success.

This has made me think that we always say that true friends show in a time of need but for me I don't think that it is as simple as that. For me it is more that that like being part of your everyday life, being happy for you trying to support you and more importantly not make you feel like you are begging for their time.

Im not sure if this loss of true friendship is a characteristic of this age where people have become so self involved in their problems they don't have any space for their friends problems or if it is just something that existed and now because of hard times it just showed.

It seems that the word friend or friendship is a term which is used looselly and easilly taken back.
I always had a picture in mind that a friend is someone you value as a brother or sister you have chosen to have in your life. A friend being someone who will not just run to see you in the hospital after an accident but will want to see how your day went and does not forget you.
A friend for me is someone who does not judge you but does kick you in the arse when you need a good old kicking.
A friend for me is not someone who will forget you as soon as they find a new partner or other friends cause true friendship means you have earned a place in another persons life and vice versa that is why trust and loyalty to me go with friendship.
When I think of such issues a verse comes to my mind:

'I lost the trust in my friends, I watched my heart tirn to stone, 
I thought I was left to walk this wicked world alone'......


A friend for me is not someone there when you are just low but also when you feel on top of the world, because when we feel happy we want our loved ones with use there too. Not just when we are faced with disasters.

A friend for me, is not soemone you will call when feeling bad but someone who will call you when they know you feel bad.

American Hustle

What can I say......

Well..... Lets just say that I was not at the edge of my seat and happy I didn't pay a 

cinema ticket to see it.

Where do I begin? Lets start with the styling and capturing of the 70's.

 This was actually one of the film's srong points with good costumes and setting.

Another great part was the transformation of Christian Baile which was excellent as well as the styling of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Really looked as they where in the 70's. 

As far as Amy Adams goes.......

I heard she is nominated for an oscar-well let me just say anyone wearing those tops without having their boobs pop out does deserve an oscar-it is damn hard-although this might have their way to drive attention away from the slooooow story with no surprises.

Even if the had been better it would have been difficult to notice the talent and story 

with the tops Adams was wearing-more provoking than if she hadn't been wearing anything on top.

Im pretty sure actually that women in the 70's didnt go out in the middle of the day with their boobs ready to play pick a boo!

I actually got bored after a point the film felt it was going slow, no surprises, no action no particular humour, it seemed mediocre. What made a difference was Lawrence's performance, she stood out and should have had a bigger part in my opinion, bigger than Adams's. I found the scenes Lawrence was in the most interesting.

Blue Jasmine

Blue Jasmine for me was a funny film but not the kind that makes you giggle or go laughing hysterically.
From what I have heard from people they either love or hate Woody Allen films usually there is not in between feeling.

Im not a big fan or follower of his films but this was a pleasant film to watch, there are points which you can sense what you are watching is a Woody Allen film mostly when the conversations take place.

What was of most interest in this film was Cate Blanchett's performance.
Outstanding performance but with moderation, no overacting. Trully makes you believe she is the character she is playing.

The other cast which is carefully chosen feels to fit in just perfectly as well.

As far as the story goes, this is a film which does cleverly touch sensitive issues between a married coupple, relationships between two sisters and ethical issues.
Serious issues are the set of this film but have been presented in a non- depresive way.

For me it is a pleasant film to watch but if you are strongly averted by Woody Allens work then maybe you will not enjoy it as much. Deffinitely worth watching because of Blanchett's performance.

The call

Now this film somehow managed to get not that good of reviews and
rating on imbd is only 6.7 at the moment for me though it is a great film to watch.
To be honest it is the type of film I like anyway - psychological thriller but even so, it
wasn't just the type that made me like this film.

I must say Halle Berry does not offer any special kind of performance.
She dfeffinitely isn't the one responsible for keeping you interested with her performance.
Even so, the scenes keep you focused and you don't get bored at any part.

I must say it has been a while since I saw a film which made me unable to look anywhere else but the screen!
Of course this is subjective - but it does keep you onm the edge
thinking that any momment now it is will end-this takes you right to the end of the film.

There are a couple of part which may be considered as predictable but nothing so bad it will ruin the film and make you lose interest.

Now even though Halle Berry's performance isn't anything special, the other case for me is great. Very convincing and promising acting tyo watch out for the future.

I would deffinitelly recomment it, a short film, not even  1 hour and 30 mins but nice for a night in!

The most loved second of all

What is it that separates one year from the next?
The bitter truth: 1 second. It takes one second for the New year to come. How much does one
really think will change within that one second? 11.59: 59pm we have 2013 and 12.00pm we have 2014.



Have you ever thought though how powerful that one second is?
The power of one second is highly underestimated in everyday life but soooo overated on New Year's eve!
One second is not considered worthy in our everyday life but somehow all of our hopes for the future and the pain which has been felt seem to be all boil down to that one second which takes us from one year to another.

This has been a recent thought of mine where I was thinking of how people feel waiting for New Years day and on the day iitself. It is common to wait for the year to go and wait for the new one to come because of what the old year will take and what the new will bring.

New year's resolutions is a display of how people think they will transform instantly within that one second which separates 2 years appart. Ofcourse people don't think of this tranformation to be down to one second but the reality is that it takes that one seccond to go from one year to the next.

Resolutions are peoples way of displaying hope for what they will do to improve themselves and their lives.
Another example of people displaying their hope with that one second is how they want the year to go as fast as possible if it was a hard one.

It is as if the pain which was felt or the hard times have been waiting for the year to pass in order to stop the pain. This is hope itself. Hope that with the departure of the year so will the pain and bad  moments.

No one begins a New Year or waits for it thinking it will be full of hate, pain or failure. It is hope, happy moments and memories that people await for with the New Year!
At least I haven't heard of anyone saying oh my God how bad will this year be?
I usually hear resolutions being made, hopes, plans and people curious and anxious in a good way of what it will bring.

So this is what has made me think that people are so impatient for the first day of the year. It is hope. Hope that things will be better. Hope that loved ones will be closer to them. Hope that they will find their other half this year. It is so funny though if you realise that this all hangs in one second. One second before 24:00 on the 31st of December!
