Astazi va fi Ziua Cea Mare. Banuiesc ca toti colegii mei stiu de ce. Si, pentru ca natura e intotdeauna in asentiment cu romanul, cand am iesit din bloc o rafala de vant plin de praf si mirosuri ciudate m-a facut sa ma gandesc ca poate totusi, azi nu e o zi buna pentru examene...

en

Today is The Big Day. I guess that all my colleagues know why. And, because nature has allways manifested accordingly to the romanian's sentiments, when I came out of my building, a strong blow of wind full of dust and strange odours made me think that maybe, just maybe, this is not sucha good day for exams...

stiti ce, chiar m-am suparat. in caz ca se intreba cineva daca a pierdut Schummy pana la urma. Nu a pierdut. Nici nu avea cum. Ma tot gandesc sa pornesc un anti-funclub Schummy, unde oamenii din toata lumea sa isi manifeste dezgustul fata de neamtul arogant...

en

you know what, I'm really pissed off. In case anybody was wondering if Schummy lost eventually, well, he didn't. It would've been impossible anyways. I keep fantasizing about a anti-funclub Schummy, where people from all over the world could express their disgust with the arrogant german.

Ma uit la Formula 1. In caz ca e cineva interesat, sunt foarte bucuroasa ca Schumacher e pe locul 2 dupa 18 tururi. Conteaza mai putin cine e pe 1. Sa speram ca o va tine tot asa. Sau poate ajunge pe 4, sa iasa de pe podium.

en

I'm watching Formula 1. Should anybody care about it, I am very glad that Schumacher is 2nd after 18 laps. It's of no importance who is 1st. Let's just hopr that Schummy keeps up the good work. Maybe he will even score 4th, and get off the podium.

Deja tot cartierul a ajuns sa regrete decizia primariei de a asfalta stradutele. Intr-un acces de de "vedeti ce va doriti ca v-o dau de n-o puteti duce", primaria sectorului 6 a inceput acum doua saptamani sa decoperteze Aleea Dealul Macinului. Nu va ganditi la ceva enorm; doar vreo 5m latime, cu o lungime de vreo 200m. Si totusi, de unde inainte mai puteam ocoli gropile si sa conducem cu grija pana in strada, acum fiecare iesire cu masina se transforma in sport extrem. De decopertat au decopertat. De muncit, muncesc doar pana in ora 3 dupa amiaza. De pus asfaltul la loc... poate la toamna, ca acum vin vremuri calde.

Allready, the whole neihbourhood started to regret the Maior's decision to repair the little streets between the buildings. In a "watch what you wish for, 'cause i'm gonna give to you bad!" motion, the Maior's People started removing the old, bad asphalt on Dealul Macinului Alley, two weeks ago. Do not think of something big; just 5m wide, by 200m long. And somehow, since before this action we could carefully go by the holes in the asphalt, nowadays, taking the car out to town has become extreme sport. Because they did remove the asphalt. They only work till 3pm... About finnishing the work by putting a new layer of asphalt... maybe next fall, because summer is here, and hey! it's gonna be to hot to work!

cat de stupida poate fi viata uneori! si cat de uniform repartizata pare a fi zapceala omului.

how stupid can life be sometimes! and how evenly spread is the numbness of man.

azi am citit o poezie superba. vreau sa o impart cu toata lumea:

en

today I read a beautiful poem. I want to share it.

"When You Are Old"

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmer, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.”

Singurii locatari ai scarii care nu au plecat la mare de 1 Mai suntem eu si Andrei, vecinul de palier.
Macar Andrei il are pe Sparky (noi ii spunem Sangerica) cu care sa se distreze domestic. Chiar si "malacii" de la butic si-au luat vacanta. Dupa atata activitate, se intelege.
Ceea ce ma preocupa pe mine este... Romanii chiar sunt destepti, dom'le. Isi gasesc ei ceva de sarbatorit si de luat liber de la munca, mereu. Asa o fi si pe la altii? Si cica n-are romanul bani. Veniti pe Dealul Macinului, sa vedeti ca nici bosketarii nu mai vin pe la scormonit pubele, toti au plecat la mare!

en
The only two people in my appartment building that didn't go to the sea side for the 1st May cellebration are me and my next door neighbour, Andrei. At least he has Sparky (we call it Bleedy) to have fun with domesticaly. Even the "hulks" at the corner shop took a couple of days off. After so much hard work, it figures.
What is really on my mind is... Romanians are really clever, mister. They can find something to cellebrate and take a leave from their jobs, anytime, anyway. Is this the same as all over the world? And they say that romanians are poor! Come to my street, and observe how even the pauper-homeless people don't come looking through the trash anymore, they're all gone to the sea side!!!

Ma tot gandesc la scandalul iscat de administratorul blocului. Oare peste tot se cearta locatarii daca cineva doreste sa puna interfon la fiecare scara??

en
I keep thinking about the scandal that the building administrator has started. I wonder, do all the people everywhere fight if someone suggests installing an interphone??
