Who is that dreamy boy?

One of the best videos i watched lately...completely by chance! Who is this Charlie...i have the least idea...! What really struck me is that he is very charismatic and talented! I don't know if he is famous but he should work on it.
We all have a double self somehow. And you can't say which one is actually the real one. Afterall we may are just a dream.


LYRICZ 'N CHORDZ:

Bm, F, C, A Dm
I am you, you are me
together we make a perfect charlie
And when I'm feeling down
We know that we will always be around

F, C, B
Our relationship is complicated
Sometimes it's hard to remember
That you're even there
But when I feel I'm being hated
Feeling lonely in December
Facing hardships that we can't bear
You'll help me come through the other side
You build up my confidence, and raise my pride
Together there's nothing that we can't face
Just as long as we embrace ourselves
It's just a shame that I hate you

F, C, B, C
You're insufferable, your acne's terrible
your sunny dispossession is completely unbearable
and worst of all, you've got no friends
they're just on the internet
you're a waste of space, you've got no life
got a mole on your face, you should take a knife
to your head, and do it before I do it instead

you're that perfect either, mate
in fact you're way too easy to hate
what 19 year old can't get a date
I guess it's fate, that you'll never find a soul mate
you're going to die alone, on your own
making crappy YouTube videos

Bm, F, C, A Dm
I am you, you are me
together we make an
spotty, unfit, neurotic, unfunny, forgetful, weedy Charlie
And when I'm feeling down
We know that we, will only ever have each other around

F, C, B
Our relationship is complicated
Sometimes it's hard to remember
That you're even there
But when I feel I'm being hated
Feeling lonely in December
Facing hardships that we can't bear
You'll help me come through the other side
You build up my confidence, and raise my pride
Together there's nothing that we can't face
Just as long as we embrace ourselves
You know that I really love you
I really love you too
Yes, even though it's vain, I feel the same
You need to be able to love yourself
but not in that way, what way?

Dancing...with the Dream!

Here it is! A perfect example that dreams can come true...and let reality be what we used to dream of!
I used to see her coming in and out of the house she shared with her sister (a dear friend of mine). Always busy with something. Always advising us to do something more useful than drinking coffee and playing cards. She was the big sister and she was fully acting such one towards all of us. She always recommended the best movie, music, concerts, getting us in touch with other worlds and of course being a wiser person to talk to! Then she suddenly left for Brazil. A documentarist in search of her dream. I thought she'd never come back. Hopefully i was wrong. Not only she returned but she was ready to enlighten us of how life is in a different continent. And such a dreamy country as Brazil. That's when she get lost in her dream. Always reflecting on memories. Writing...the dream.
And here it is...her book...her experience...her achievement of that dream...and our inspiration to achieve ours.



Congratulations M.
Keep doing what you do!

Nail rain...?

Was it the nail attack i experienced this morning? Was it the ridiculously hot weather even in the middle of November? Or the full of anxiety dream i had during the first morning hours? The result is the same...Me wondering...am i really dreaming all these...or are they actually happening?
It all began last night...
I had a bit of a problem falling asleep. After meeting every acre of the sheets i somehow closed my eyes for good and started dreaming a million of things! From that exciting million this only dream woke me up. A dream i really wouldn't prefer to refer to explicitly. It just get out of my feet...it was sad, anxious, frustrating and made my heart beat so fast that i actually woke up. It wasn't real..was it? I mean i can't imagine anything like that happening. However, i kept thinking of it...until the nail attack came.
I was trying to open a cupboard...and suddenly the nail case with hundrends of nails in all sizes almost fell on my head. Fortunately, i stepped back just on the right time to prevent the disaster. And end up watching in slow motion those little sparkling pointy mettalic walljabs falling. A hazardous rain tearing the thin atmosphear of the room. Then i woke up for a second time and realised that i my mind was like an abstact painting until then. The weather was too hot to be end of autumn and beggining of the winter (i mean Christmas are coming and i feel like it's still september). I felt confused. To speak from the heart i still am. I don't know what's happening. I am here now. Not so much distracted from reality but on the other hand i'm paying so little attention to what is happening around me that i don't know if i am just on my own world again or i'll have a very plausible keyboard attack any minute now.
Is there a scientific case that can explain my situation? Just in case...
I would happily hear similar experiences or explanations about my weird tale.
Thanks in advanced...
Take care!

After you've gone - Fiona Apple

I love this song! It's so real (because we most feel this way after a break up) ...and so painfully sweet (because we know that when something is over most times its over for good but we keep dreaming) ! Well i didn't have a break up...but for those who had...and were left behind...wipe your tears and go on with your life. Oh...and what goes around comes around! ;)



Lyrics (http://www.lyricstime.com/fiona-apple-after-you-ve-gone-away-lyrics.html)

Now won't you listen to me honey while i say,
How could you tell me that you're goin' away?
Don't say that we must part, don't break my aching heart
You know i've loved you truly many years, loved you night and day
How could you tell it to me? can't you see my tears?
Now listen while i say

After you've gone, and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had
There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it
Some day, when you grow lonely
You heart will break like mine and you'll want me only
After you've gone, after you've gone away

After you've gone, after the break up
After you've gone, you're gonna wake up
You will find that you were blind
To let somebody come and change your mind
After the years, we've been together
Their joy and all tears, a-all kinds of weather
Someday, when you're downhearted
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
After you've gone, after you've gone away!

Love and Friendship!

Hello everyone!
After a few days of absence...i am back...i am baaaack...and furious!
Isn't love a kind of lottery? I think most of you will agree it is! Ok! Let's make it clear...I'm in love! Deeply, madly, annoyingly much...in love! So, living in my love cloud is such a dream...and such a nightmare at the same time.It is like living your favourite songs...sometimes tragic...sad...hard and other times passionate...sweet...tender...it has it all and i can't live without it! It's the salt in my life...the colours of my paintings...the water when i' m thirsty! Seriously...i can't imagine myself not being in love with something...if not someone! When i was a kid i used to be in love with things...hobbies and of course dreams! I was daydreaming everyday..even at school. Now that i have somehow grown up...is a bit more difficult to daydream but i steal some moments everyday to do it and of course being in love with a person other than my parents is the icing in the cake.
Why am i referring to all these things and especially my loves...? Hmmm, i guess i was just touched by looking around in the streets and noticing those little things i told you about in another post! Things that show that love is all around!!! Mothers and grandmothers taking care of their children and grandchildren, lonely passengers taking a glimpse at each other, teenage couples holding hands, elderly couples holding hands, friends teasing each other ...and all other kind of romantic images.
Am i too dreamy, hopeful or optimistic? Maybe...but i like living in such a world. I like looking on the bright side of life...maybe because i have spent much time looking on the sad and ugly one. What's the point in feeling frustrated all the time and paying attention in mean words that someone somehow will utter literally or ironically against you? People are strange...everybody knows that. I am strange...and different...we all are. What really matters to me is respecting myself and i can do that only by respecting others. You can't just treat people badly and being a respectful human being. And above all, how will you feel inside? My friends are all around and they are different people...have different ideas, thoughts, hairstyles, haircuts, dressing codes, music preferances e.t.c. That's why they are my friends, because they are different from me...but i respect their difference and they respect mine and also i had the luck to meet them (luck is always a factor). Okey dokey...sometimes i tease them..they tease me but that's the best thing. I never judge them for their choices...neither do they. Being loved and acceptable for what you really are is what we all want and what we all dream to be. Right? So another time in our life's crosswords reality and dreams cross. Real and true friendship and love is probably the one that sweeps us off our feet with joy...just by giving us the dreamy gift of unconditional acceptance. Hmmmm?

Love and Kisses

I sneez..it's snowing!

Good morning!
What a beautiful cloudy dark morning my boyfriend would say. However he is working right now...somewhere two hours away from me and i' m sitting here...writing and drinking tea. He is completely jealous of my mornings...and i am completely jealous of his afternoons. I work mostly afternoons and evenings you see. So, i' m stuck again on that dreamy atmosphear which would be so romantic if i could share it with him. I miss him so much an i' m getting ready to eat some chocolate...when...
my brother calls. My beloved little brother...who still goes to school and today he was feeling sick so he skipped it! I love him so much...but he never lets me speak on the phone and he always has the most incredible news...! Today it was the snow...in my hometown where my family still lives it was snowing. Pure heavy white snow my mum said. So beautiful. Memories started unfolding from my childhood mindbook. I almost wish i was there.
But i am here...in a very cold...full of cars and screaming people Athens. I remembered that i saw some shops preparing for Christmas yesterday. And i now hope it will snow here too this year. I miss it so much. I used to see snow every year from november till february. Now it's just Christmas...like in the movies. Christmas songs from Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra are playing on my playlist and i ....acheew....i sneez...is it the first cold of the year? Is it my daydream of snow? Or just a reaction to the spicy tea i'm drinking? All i can say is that while i sneeze in Athens...it's snowing up there and i'm feeling blue! What about you?

Walking towards the dream...

Hello everyone!!!
Ι have to get used to it...my life is synonymous to coincidence. Whatever i do...whatever i say...it's there in front of me the next day! And as my yoga-pilates teacher says :"We choose which road to take in our lives. And if that road has no obstacles is probably the wrong one". I face obstacles...everyday...day by day...in everything...personal and professional life. Ok. It's not that hard but i manage it and i can say i feel happy and complete...i give and take. So, have i picked the right road so far? I feel so.
However, I'll never get used to these small everyday coincidences that occur to me. For example, i teach and during class i referred to a movie as an example to my students. That happened last night and here i am the next morning watching a trailer advertising the same movie to be played tonight on a famous Greek channel and actually using the same phrase of the movie i used with my students. You might say...coincidence..that happens everyday and it's actually so useless to bother with such small details. You probably are right. I am maybe too sensitive to those things or have a weird hobby. i don't know! Does it happen to you?
My Yoga- pilates teacher also says that "We choose our road in order to reach a dream we have. If we have no dream then that's why the road is easy...but following one's dream it's always hard'. I figured out that this is true. I believe it is so because we are keen on idealizing our dreams.
Anyway, out of all these messy thoughts i finally made a decision. it's not big news since i always were an easy and kind person...but here it is. I pay attention to minor coincidences, they make my days better. I like being nice and others to be nice to me. So...after relaxing ten minutes breathing in and out in yoga and thinking about shopping tomatoes afterwards..it occurred to me..."I will chase that ideal secret dream i have...and i won't pay attention to miserous people who are negative towards me any more". From now on...positive thinking will be my second name. And all that after only the third yoga class. Think of me in the 20th!!! Hehe.

Hope to hear from you soon....keep on dreaming!!!
