it is all good and it will always be

Today I am about to write about high expectations and why they are needed...
Why, you may think, would someone always have to raise the bar when he has something which maybe he can be pretty satisfied with?

It is not that easy guys...the bar is rising on its own...Your high expectations should not change ...because you are already there...you shouldn't go down...on the contrary...if you do not receive what you would like to...just learn to live with it and accept it... It is already an achievement if you had someone reached your bar and the most important - you remember that this happened...

The topic today is friendship and why it is so difficult to achieve? It is...and it has always been...

And people's ideas about friendship are different - in the end friendship is just a mere probe of egoism...egoism for your own self to know that in the end you have someone always there for you...a mere probe of egoism because egoistic people always think about themselves in the end...some earlier than expected, others later in time...all of us are egoists but some of us are egoists in the altruistic way i.e. deprive themselves from many things they would love to do at a certain moment just for the egoistic feeling that if they do not do them now, later in time they will be happier (personal happiness - another form of egoism)...a minor minor almost insignificant example...sometimes we feel like shouting at the world and the people in it and telling them that what they are doing is not the way it has to be...but by the end you think "who am I to judge people"...they know better for themselves and by trying and disappointing a few they better learn than if you shout it at them and then just disappear from their lives...It is not the way it has to be...because egoism rules...and the more I hope I am wrong, the more I see I am not...

So about friendship, it is difficult and almost unattainable, but the moment you reach it, you can really say you are happy or at least that at some point in time you felt so happy that you cannot describe. That's how the bar rises on its own and that's why those with high-leveled bars shouldn't mess up with them...

Let me not look desperate in your eyes, I had the perfect mutual friendship and I still have it, although it is a bit far away from me...I will always have it after all, so it doesn't really matter where it is situated at the moment, because it will always be there for me....

To all of you my "beloveds" (you know who you are). Just remember that you will always be there...UNREPLACEABLE...STATIC...ETERNAL

There is real mutual sacrificing friendship and I wish you all have it some day...and make sure you know how to keep it of course...because not many people are ready to give it up to you (many of them just hurry up and grab their own happiness (egoism) out of the beginning of your "friendship")

A beer for friendship and a cigarette for all of them who once felt it and would always have it...

ENJOY!

Why is journalism going crap? Or maybe this is just how it's always been?

Yes, I finally decided to put this blog in the hobbies' section 'cause I really hoped to make a good hobby out of my journalism course...but no...all I appreciate now in article producing is merely and only column writing about which I am actually not going to study anything "because it is not JOURNALISM; it is BULLSH**" (the good thing is that no one can stop me from trying to do it here on the blank sheet).

So, for all of you who still admire the journalistic field - please be aware that you (most of my extreme-team friends) most probably hate real journalism, because you admire individuality and personal style, admire creative people with good sense for news; admire investigative journalism coming out of the most dangerous "hot-news" places where there is really something happening and you feel part of it, or maybe all you admire journalism about are the free-style articles coming out of some of the best alternative magazines in which columnists which I would afford to call journalists just write about their experiences, observations, feelings about certain topics or maybe even politically-angled articles which give all the sides of a story and possible interesting explanations accompaning them....yes, my friends I also admire this type of journalism...I admire creativity in writing, I admire playing with words and catching people's attention with what you are saying and the way you are saying it ... I admire those who are actually able to achieve such things BUT...what is actually the real "hard-core" journalism?

Hard-core journalism OR the most significant and difficult part of journalism is to fit in a certain frame, to be clear and as my journalism teacher (straight coming from the BBC newsline) says:

"Write as simple as possible but not dull, as if you are writing for 12-year intelligent children"

...and thus be objective... ... and what is more - think how on hell you can fill in the rest of your paper with something simply said and still interesting (because the paper cannot come out with 3 pages less - we have to figure out some soft news and just "serve" them to those who would get bored enough just after finishing the first soft article called

"A phenomenon in the animal world" and which is talking about a dog with 45 puppies that came out at once ...woooww that's news)
YEAH, right! but actually NO WAY You can be creative and still keep your objectivity...and at the same time be simple (but not dull) and be more biased than ever...

Newswriting has some good points, some good principles on which it was actually based, namely to be objective and to not give personal opinion on the topic which you are presenting to the people, because everyone is more or less able to figure out for himself what to think and which position to take (and for those who always wait for someone to tell them what to think - just to look for this someone somewhere else...maybe in a book which some friend of theirs recommends them!!!)...

I would like to give my opinion here in this blog (which once again shows that to be a journalist is just not my thing) but I think that I haven't really seen such a journalist (and if I think for a moment about Bulgarian newspaper - oooo I am really sure in what I am saying)

Or maybe Habermas in the end will turn out to be the wisest of all by stating that concept such as objectivity is a social equality utopia which we all would love to believe in but do not really see...

Long live sociology and the constant doubt in all we see around. Journalism and the freedom of speech have to allow people to use their freedom of forming own opinion... We all still believe in this statement...and we have to go on believing...even if we do it from the mere egoistic point of view that we and only we rule over ourselves... ENOUGH!

--> all the space in this blog will not help me put my message across and find the compromise I am so eagerly looking for!
