Mda, daca acum 5 ani ne amuzam copios (cei care credeam ca ne va fi mai bine) cand auzeam versuri cu Bombo sau cu Congo acum, de alegerile care urmeaza, nu am mai gasit cum sa legam numele lui Traian Basescu de nicio destinatie “de vis”. Sau cel putin asa credeam noi!
Insa raspunsul era la tatal meu, pe care doresc sa vi-l prezint in continuare. Fara o introducere prea stufoasa, Doamnelor si Domnilor, stimata audienta va ofer cuvintele tatalui meu in legatura cu ce se intampla in jur:
“Daca Base iese iar / Emigrez in Zanzibar!”
Asa sa ne ajute Dumnezeu…

Am gasit interesant intr-un mod special acest post si de aceea am decis sa il copiez si la mine aici - acest post nu imi apartine!
Articol original: The 10 Most Expensive Cell Phones in the World (postat pe http://theforrester.wordpress.com/)
With all the hoopla surrounding the Iphone (and its fluctuating pricetag) one might might be lulled into thinking that the Iphone is the be-all and end-all in the world cell phones. The truth be told though, the Iphone is more like the Corvette of the cellphone industry, relatively expensive to the average consumer, but in the bigger picture, it’s a cheap horsepower contender and drop in the bucket when compared to these high rolling entrants into the world of cellphones. And yes, the top cellphone contender is more expensive than the Mercedes Maybach, the Ferrari Enzo and the Bugatti Veyron!

10. Prada phone by LG

The Prada phone by LG just narrowly edged my personal favorite, the Gold Striker Gold 24-carat Iphone to make the list. At just 1.2 cm thick, the Prada phone, like the Iphone, has no buttons and is operated solely by way of the touch screen.

2. The Diamond Crypto Smartphone
Price: $1.3 Million

Designed by diamond encruster extraordinaire Peter Aloisson The Diamond Crypto Smartphone is sometimes quoted as the World’s most expensive cell phone (depending on exchange rates). Russian firm JSC Ancort has developed a Windows CE-based smartphone ready for Aloisson’s bejeweling that employs “powerful encryption technology” to “provide secure protection of information against kidnapping, technological blackmail, financial racketeers and corrupted state officials” — sounds like marketing speak for a password-protected wallet app. Of course, with its $1.3 million price tag and 50 diamonds (10 of which are blue) you might start to have more trouble with mugging than with technological blackmail.

1. The GoldVish Le Million
Price: $1.45 Million

Guinness World Records certifies this GoldVish phone as the most expensive in the world–1 million euros, or about $1.45 million. The odd-shaped device is made out of 18-carat white gold and features 1,800 diamonds totaling 120 carats. A Russian businessman bought Le Million for his wife last September at a luxury goods fair in Cannes, France. Don’t have a spare million for this made-by-request gadget? Geneva-based GoldVish has plenty of expensive phones in its lineup, including models with gold plating and diamond-studded cases.
Povestea Marianei sau cum ii strivesti pe cei pe care ii iubesti…
by xts on Oct.21, 2009, under Personal
Mariana si cu mine eram dintre cei mai apropiati. Traiam una pe seama celuilalt. Adica ea pe seama mea. Ei bine, si eu beneficiam de un umar pe care sa plang. Dar, ca sa explic toata povestea, trebuie sa spun ca Mariana era o musca. Una din acele muste mari si negre si foarte zgomotoase. A intrat in casa mea intr-o zi calduta de octombrie. Poate ultima din 2009. S-a furisat pe geam si desi m-am straduit sa scap de ea nu am mai reusit. Am apelat la diverse tertipuri, gen “invitatie la aer curat cu geamul deschis” si cate si mai cate, dar Mariana era mai dezghetata decat credeam eu. Oricum la acel moment Mariana nu avea nume si era doar o musca nenorocita de care nu scapam. Usor usor s-a “umanizat” sau mai bine zis, domesticit. Mariana obisunuia sa stea pe rama de la ecranul laptopului sau chiar pe bricheta si nu parea nici deranjata cand vroiam sa o folosesc ca sa-mi aprind o tigara. Mariana se urca chiar si pe degetul meu atunci cand il apropiam de ea, exact ca un papagal. Mariana stia ca atunci cand ma duc la somn nu e bine sa vine si sa bazaie pe langa mine - era intelegatoare si isi vedea de treaba.
Abia dupa vreo doua zile dupa a primit acest nume amuzant pe care l-ar mai fi purtat si astazi daca nu aparea accidentul. Mda, Mariana a suferit un accident. Adica o palma. Incepuse sa isi bage nasul unde nu ii fierbea oala. Sau se baga ca musca in fundul calului - expresie mai mult decat potrivita avand in vedere natura Marianei. Sambata s-a intamplat: dupa ce Mariana s-a gandit ca ar fi interesant sa aterizeze pe farfuria mea. Atunci s-a auzit declicul si atunci am decis ca e prea mult. Nu am avut curaj sa o fac cu mana mea asa cam am rugat pe cineva sama scape de Mariana. Chiar daca rugamintea mea a fost cea care a dus la sfarsitul Marianei nu m-am simtit la fel de vinovat ca si daca as fi facut-o chiar eu.
Morala?! Dar cine sunt eu? Fiecare intelege ce vrea! Eu inteleg ca oamenii, atunci cand ajung sa aiba ce isi doresc, se poarta prosteste! Se culca pe o ureche si uita pentru ce s-au luptat sau ajung sa dea inapoi. In cazul meu am uitat ca Mariana era acolo pentru mine (chiar si cand nu aveam nevoie de ea) iar in cazul ei, pur si simplu a lasat garda jos.
Un mesaj de avertizare!? Poate ca da: relatiile, oricat de nesanatoase ar fi, sunt relatii. Se pot termina placut sau neplacut dar sigur se vor termina. Si cel mai nasol lucru este ca poti sa termini strivind pe cineva sau fiind strivit de cineva. Dar riscul face toti banii!
Of.. am uitat!

Da, e luni noaptea. 01:16. De fapt e chiar marti. Am uitat sa postez duminica seara si am cam trecut termenul de “predat” noul post. E clar ca o sa spun ca saptamana trecuta nu s-a intamplat mai nimic. Ca bautura ramane ceaiul dar apare usor in peisaj ciocolata fierbinte dark de la Festa (pentru ca e foarte buna si foarte fierbinte) iar ca filme, revazute cu placere, recomand Swept away si How to loose a guy in 10 days.
Ca intotdeauna il avem si pe Tiesto (de care am avut ceva mai mult timp) cu In search of sunrise 4. Urasc umezeala si faptul ca e peste tot in jurul meu. Cifra este 3 - din pacate sau din fericire!
Daca sunt greu de urmarit este pentru ca ma grabesc. O noapte cat mai linistita.
P.S. Ah, si sa nu uitam de Marlboro rosu.
