Thoughts from the last century, the new paradigm, and stuff

Posted on 28 April 2011

Personal emails and letters are a gift, a luxury gift. Putting words together and not publishing them for everyone to see and appreciate, but giving them to one person, in private, is a big deal in the age of blogging and open fucking platforms. Just dawned on me, how strange it is, used to be [...]

I am thinking about Buenos Aires

Posted on 25 February 2011

My association with Buenos Aires: A tall, all-dark Argentinian man, and a tall, almost-albino Scandinavian girl, ordering coffee, in Lhasa, capital of Tibet. And me, thinking about Julio Cortazar. I always think about Julio Cortazar, whenever I imagine Buenos Aires. [...]

Russian Soul in Underwear

Posted on 19 February 2011

Just realized that when I was growing up in Russia, “underwear” was not sexualized in my culture at all. Underwear was a clothing item that everybody would put on first thing in the morning. And there was no “sexy”. Instead, there was “beautiful”.

A dilettante’s guide to gurus

Posted on 22 October 2010

We live in the age of amazing technology, open platforms, changing paradigms and a whole lot of unique voices shouting all at the same time.

Unless you are a mere mortal, your self-esteem is dictated by two things: how many people know who you are, and how much money you get for your time (looks, voice, ideas, products).

Every guru in his or her head, is a celebrity (or at least, a celebrity in the making). Never forget that. [...]

Masculinity: what is?

Posted on 18 October 2010

“A healthy mustache. Every March, my friends and I celebrate “Mustache March.” A truly masculine man wears his hair on his face. There’s nothing sexier than a man with thick facial (or chest) hair. A nice button-down shirt with some hair sticking out the top. The air of silent confidence with the sweet smell of machismo. You ask me what is manly? That’s it. Hopefully that helps.”

Long distance, Schlong distance. The pun is accidental.

Posted on 13 September 2010

Today’s blog is about long distance relationships. Personally, I am not a fan. Although I’ve had one long-distance relationship that kind of worked out. In fact, it was close to perfect while we lived in different cities. And then he moved in…

But I also had a friend in Moscow whose husband moved to Germany for work and when he eventually left her she was so heart-broken (they had a Christian marriage and a great friendship) that she adopted two kids from an orphanage and gave up on her personal life for good. I guess, we all choose. [...]

Why I don’t brand myself as a desperado

Posted on 19 July 2010

He thinks that I am scared to try new things while in fact, I simply don’t care. I have never cared about new experiences that were not calling me like a loud voice in the sky. I have always been about myself. Quiet. Unless I am on stage or seducing a a man.

Yes, no, yes. I am picky, comfort-loving and not adventurous as a slogan, but somehow I have gotten myself into more adventures than anybody I know. It’s probably because when I want something, I just go. There must be another word for it. Stubborn? Impulsive? Overly confident? [...]

“I wonder whether this love we feel is real or not”
