Complicated

I have heard a legend. Apparently, some artists, actors, entertainers dare not to force themselves to be gadget wizards and have some old phones and dim-looking computers, that sometimes they don't even know to manipulate. Some of them even declared to hit, throw or dismantle their gadgets at times. OMG. As many times as you care to repeat this overrated acronym.Computernym.

But this is a luxury few can afford. Openly complaining about how complicated our world has become. Having some people listen to you while doing this... For the regular Joe, complaining about some annoying endless mandatory shits that come with every technical appliance or with any human endeavor is admitting he or she is modern stupid.

Modern stupid is not the regular stupid, he can think, read, write, and has good if not sometimes brilliant ideas. But he has no portofolio, experience, know how, technical abilities, and generally a proneness to all kind of time-wasting- futile gestures that "are required" in order to this or that. 

All this fuss about the newest gizmo and all the manuals about mastering photoshop and windows or the brilliant ted speeches, seminars and other yaky brands and their cocky-ness are not liked by the MS (modern stupid) - and the lack of proper caps lock is intended. So are the invented words - if technology has invaded our language in so many ways, who says we cannot make words ourselves. We, the humans. Not the geekiest, not the illiterate-st. 

I am not against the progress in technology, nope. But they just forgot to wrap up the progress in some easier interfaces lately. And changing and progressing everyday can be just as boring as not changing at all. Everyday there is an upgrade, a new look, a better format, a renewed image, and now they are becoming violent too. They pop, open by themselves, poke, alert, warn. Move to that, change to this or...you will be outdated, not work properly, be ostracized, may experience problems, blah, blah...shit. 

So, I do not want to fill in tons of forms before I get to do this or that, especially considering that I was not so much decided I wanted to do that in the first place. I do not want to register, log in, promise, engage, pledge, sign contracts, agree and so on every effing time I am trying to just be casual. Just sample, see, try, stay close to the exit if I wanna change my mind. Even for doing volunteer work people have to prove themselves - fill in, sign, apply, confirm, travel, interview; how absurd. Too complicated. 

And I will not upgrade to this or that, no matter how annoying the pop ups are, and how persistently they tell me that a "new more exiting" something just appeared. I know, I know...one day "they" will have upgraded me nilly-willy, or blocked mt MS cozy old format. 

A simple AARGH should suffice.

Linistea dinaintea ...toamnei

A trecut mult din iulie pana acum, o cantitate de timp al fizicii traditionale care obliga. La ceva nou, o vorba acolo...

Venind si toamna...Asta fiindca toamna nu "a venit", instantaneu, nu s-a instalat deodata si gata...E un anotimp care in starea lui fireasca cere un continuum.
Toamna se insereaza cu incetul, pana te trezesti in mijlocul ei, dupa care iti atintesti privirile spre sarbatorile de iarna ca sa nu mai observi ploaia, cerul plumburiu sau mai stiu eu ce.
Cat sufletism anotimpic, de tip compunere scolara evoluata. Gata, nu mai fac.

Nu imi place toamna, never did. Cine a inventat anul scolar a distrus orice sansa a toamnei. Nu am fost atenta ce au distrus astia cu orarul de plata al impozitelor si taxelor, dar cred ca au doborat si ei un anotimp, sau macar o luna. Sa fie oare tot toamna victima?

Acest scurt text indeplinind oficiul de salut de toamna in limba materna, urmeaza o lamentare a inadaptatului (fericit totusi ca e inadaptat) in engleza:)
