Google Web History
You don’t want people seeing what you’ve searched for? But you searched for that! Are you ashamed now? Why?!
Government Email Snooping
While I don’t condone it, how can it hurt you? If you’re a gunrunner and you’re about to get convicted based on evidence found in your mailbox, I salute that! Other than that, nobody cares what colour your panties are! The police can search your house with a warrant; why not your mailbox?
Facebook Stalkers
You are aware that you can block people, right? Better still, think about why you joined Facebook!
Google Analytics Tracking
If most of the visitors from your site are from jail, or the States, or Japan, wouldn’t you like to know? If most of them are running Linux or Mac, wouldn’t you like to know? Also, you like it when a site caters better to your needs, right? You like it when they give you more of the stuff you liked before. How do you think they know all that?
Why are you so afraid of the amount of information about you that’s available on the net?
That information should not come close to defining you as the wonderful, complex person that you are! That information is just peanuts compared to all the feelings you can instill in another person!
And if that is not the case. If the amount of information available on the net accounts for most of you. If there’s little left to find out about you in the real world. Well, in that case, I’d say your online privacy is the least of your worries!

Say you’re yearning for something you shouldn’t be after.
I mean, people frown upon it and facts lead you to believe it is no the right thing for you. Whats more, you even said you don’t want anything to do with it. And you make a big point of that, too.
In this case, seeking it would make you spineless and a hypocrite and a coward. Just like a person that’s quit smoking and takes drag, or buys a new pack. You fell of the wagon. At least, that’s how people will see it.
It actually takes great courage to give in to temptation. Few people realize that, and fewer still applaud it. It’s a nice way of taking responsibility. It’s a great way to make mistakes to learn from. Or maybe you get lucky and prove everyone wrong.
Kudos to you if you do it!

A week ago, Horia went from being “single” to “it’s complicated” and you instantly had an opinion about it. Especially the ladies.
Now, let me explain. I don’t have a complicated relationship with a girl. No, not even her! And I do not have a complicated relationship with a guy either. Although recent evidence might suggest otherwise.
I just decided I have a very steady relationship with code and coding.
I love its braces, its commas, its mood swings and its get-things-done take on life!
While it’s very rewarding, it is time consuming, and it does have its limitations. And yes, I’m thinking sex-wise.
But then, you can’t have it all; can you?
So, it’s complicated!

Fuck with the stupid or hard-nosed and that’s what you get. People in the streets.
And on the day that was deemed our National Day because of the blood of those who took to the streets twenty years ago. People that faced the tanks and firing squads.
People that climbed to that faithful Opera house balcony and chanted with glee: “we are free!”
Angst, fear, uncertitude and stupidly strong convictions filled that square today. For a much lesser cause. For a dirty purpose, any way you look at it.
Some dirtied the memory of our heroes, some betrayed our trust, some proved once more that they are toads.
Right now, I’m enjoying my freedom, having a nice dark beer in the Irish pub.
Happy Birthday, Romania! To the rest of you assholes, Fuck You!

Remember Tom Anderson?
He is the co-founder of the dreaded myspace thingie, but there is more.
When someone signed up for an account on the social network, they would already have a friend: Tom. I guess it was supposed to be a way to make new users not feel awash on a deserted island after setting up their account.
Don’t buy into that!
Tom Anderson only wanted to be popular on a social network. Any social network.
Since he failed on all the others, he decided to build his own!
He now has around 270 million friends!
Yes, that is how lonely some people can get.

I just cannot get this out of my head:
Every political campaign in this election is an anti-campaign. Everyone’s mocking, bashing, dissing the current president. Nobody’s making promises.
All the parties agreed upon a prime-minister to replace the current one. EVERYONE agreed without a fight! That is something you should never see in a democracy.
Nobody’s been able to tell me why they all have such hate. And I’ve been asking, you know?
The question is:
What the hell did this Basescu do to tick off every politician? Because if they’re so desperate to take him down, it means what he did is bad for them. Which means it’s good for us, the lay-men.
disclaimer: I don’t give a fuck about any of the candidates. I just find this funny.

Everything worthwhile will have its dilettantes!
Discos are a great example. Most people go to the disco to shake their ass. A lot of people go to the disco to find dates. That’s all fine and dandy, as long as you find your date while dancing. Or after you’ve danced for a while and you’re catching your breath.
Whatever you do, the first reason for your being in a disco should be dancing. That’s it. If you’re hoping to pick up someone, that’s fine too. Just don’t let that be the ONLY reason you’re there.
I say this because, if that is indeed the case, you probably don’t like dancing all that much. You’ll probably end up just standing there, creepishly checking out all the other people who are having fun. It’s just like going to the library to pick up a person. It only works well if you actually like reading. Otherwise you’re a fraud. People will see through that, eventually. And even if they don’t, what kind of relationship are you really starting? A one night stand? A one-weeker? Probably shallow, meaningless relationship?
Are you that desperate?
The best way to pick up people is by doing the things YOU like! If you don’t like to dance, don’t go to discos. If, however, you like football, go to the game. You’re bound to make a hell of a lot more new friends that way. If you like beer, you’ll probably feel right at home in a pub. And that’s where you’ll probably find your next date. And if you do, you’re probably great for each other, since you met each other doing something you both enjoy.
Don’t be the fucker in the disco that just sits by the dance floor, drooling over the tits and sweaty necks. Don’t be the fucker who goes to the opera just to be seen coming out of the opera house. Don’t be the fucker who grows long hair just because you think you’ll be a smash with the ladies. Don’t get your boobs done if you’re actually a bookworm.
Don’t try to be someone else to get a date. You’ll be left with nothing. Enjoy yourself, and those who matter will love you for it.

Thank you, Herta Mueller, for being Romanian-born and for winning the Nobel prize for — what was it? — literature!
We, the Romanians, had no idea who you were a couple of days ago, but today you are our Nation’s pride!
We still don’t know anything about you or your work, but boy, are we ever proud! Just check twitter, facebook and the local news to see how much we love you.
PS: Could you come visit soon? Since you probably haven’t done so ever since the commie regime forced you to leave Romania.
By the way, behold Herta Mueller.
