Revolution vs Coup – Mubarak vs Morsi
I've been seeing this argument, if it is a military coup or not, in the western media after ousting Morsi. I'm really, REALLY, pissed off at the western media coverage, which gives no tiny credit to the power of the people. Turning the whole process from a democratic process, to a ballotocracy process (from ballots). The western media think that democracy is a rigid contract between the elected person and the people through the ballots boxes, a contract that can not be retracted by the people when they realize how the country is going to a catastrophe.

Things have changed
I feel so related to this song. Worried all the time, thinking all the time. Going back home in the last train, in the end of the day, with no one in front of me, and trying to feel nothing behind. Getting the awkward feeling every year passing the Valentine Day as a single, from time to time looking forward to getting crazy as someone drunk from champagne.

And when I try to get through, on the telephone to you, there'll be nobody home.
Friends tell me why don't I blog that much, especially when they listen to some of my stories or things I might call adventures. I don't really know why sometimes I feel like I'm just a bubble. A bubble with a very long lifetime, waiting for some random moment to burst to get out all the memories, to talk. That near-bursting moment comes a lot, but, veeery veeery rarely that it bursts. When it does, either I'm with the wrong person or with just no person at all.
