My Thank You Note

Dear Readers,

Less than one week in the making and “The Other End of Sunrise” has already attracted so many readers. (http://otherendofsunrise.blogspot.com/)

Honestly? That was unexpected. What can I say?

Thank you to all you guys from:

Asia:
Lebanon, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Iraq.

The United States of America:
Minnesota, California, Arkansas, Texas, Washington, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Hawaii and Wisconsin.

Canada:
Toronto, Markham, Ottawa and Montreal.

Europe:
Netherlands, France, Germany, United Kingdom and Lithuania.

Oceania:
Adelaide.

Africa:
Ghana.

“The Other End of Sunrise” (http://otherendofsunrise.blogspot.com/) was created for you guys. Remember what I had said in my very first article “Well, it’s time to play catch up”? (http://otherendofsunrise.blogspot.com/2007/06/well-its-time-to-play-catch-up.html)

“This blog, http://otherendofsunrise.blogspot.com/, will be treated as my own diary. Shall you be interested in getting involved with some boring guy's everyday life? You are the most welcome to check my blog. Shall you not be, well, what can I say? You're just not. Still the blog won't be treated as a typical diary. I guess from the articles you'll be reading, you'll understand what's going on with me and with my life. In a way!”

Well. Guess some of you guys are quiet interested after all.

I promise you more and more musings and great products to come. Here’s another new rule: Always keeping it simple and friendly.

Since this blog was initially created for you Readers, and since you’ve contributed in its quick success, it will be my duty to explore with you the other end of sunrise.

And let’s see what’s really there.

That was my “day off” writing. Boring? You’re the judges. I’m just thanking the many readers I already have out there. On the other end.

Peace

A Silicon World - A Bit of Nonsense

Hi folks. It’s me. Dany.

Blogging again!

I hope this one doesn’t offend some of the readers. In particular the “she” readers. Well in case it does, please accept my sincere apologies. Your comments are welcomed. But watch out. Your negative ones will let me know a lot about you.

Guys. How lucky have we been for the last month or so? What do I mean?

ROOFTOPS!

A great gift from God has come down upon us. Well not exactly. We have to take the elevator and go up few floors.

Music, drinks, smokes and “silicon”. Covered with skin.

Don’t take me wrong. I like it. Not love it. Just like it. Many others love it though (mostly the cigar dudes). They sit there and sing the Eiffel 65 song “Silicon World”:

Cause all that I want is a Silicon Girl
With Silicon lips
And Silicon hair
Sha-lala-lalala
You're my Silicon girl
So come into my silicon world

And BTW. Cigar dudes. You smell. Chicks don’t like stinky guys. My advice? Simple rule: drop the cigar and stick to the perfume.

The funny part? If a silicon girl stares at you? She stares at you. There’s no way out. You’re dead. Even when she’s with her man! Staring means confidence. And for some reason they have a lot of it. They don’t realize that silicon makes them ugly (there are exceptions though).

Now. Why rooftops? Because that’s where silicon is these days.

You know. It’s “in”.

The guy who reserves a table on a rooftop, smokes a cigar and has a silicon girl as a date: He’s “in”.

The silicon girl who goes on a date with a guy who has a table on a rooftop and who smokes a cigar: She’s “in”.

It’s sweet. They complete each other.

As for me, I don’t smoke cigars. So I’m not one of those guys. Thank you.

Girls. Keep up the good work. But please try not to fly.

A champagne cheers to all

Water vs Concrete / View vs View

A 20 year old view gone. That's what my building is experiencing. A new one is under construction. And where? Just facing mine and blocking a great sea view. Sigh.

"In your face". That's what the new one is saying to the old one. It's Dikembe Mutombo's 3220 career blocks in the NBA.

So many things had been seen in that sight. From great sunsets to war ships throwing its rockets. The good and the bad. The beauty and the beast. But with this new building, all past memories seem "good" and "beauty".

I hope you're starting to know me by now. You know. The "positive" guy?

I say there will always be other beautiful things to look at. The sunset will never disappear. I will follow it wherever it goes. And no concrete will prevail over water.

Thought I would make it a quick blog for today. Too many things to do at work for a Friday.

Peace
