Trojan Aus Athen
Banken zittern
Schade auf mein Deutsch :)
Griechenland wahlt heute den neuen Parlament.
Der Spitzenkandidat ist ein Linkspartei vorsitzende Alexis Tzipras.
Die ganze Europa, nicht nur die Deutschen, warten um zu sehen wie dieser Junge regieren wird.
Mir selbst, dieser Man scheint wie damals serbische oppositions Fuhrer Zoran Djindjic.
Grosse Hoffnungen haben den Griechen von diesem Mann, aba es wird sehr schwer Ihm zu realisiren alles was er verschprochen hatte, meiner Meinung nach.

Dear Blogger
I'm here. Still alive if you ask. How about you ?
Down or up ? Do they care for you or they have abandoned you ?
Hope you're well.
Yours truly, since 2002.

Problems with a script
Troubled text
When you are writing movie script, there are numerous problems you can encounter. Here are some :
When you are writing movie script, there are numerous problems you can encounter. Here are some :
The story begins too late in the script
The scenes are void of meaningful conflict
The script has a by-the-numbers execution
The story is too thin
The villains are cartoonish, evil-for-the-sake-of-evil
The character logic is muddy
The female part is underwritten
The narrative falls into a repetitive pattern
The conflict is inconsequential, flash-in-the-pan
The protagonist is a standard issue hero
The script favors style over substance
The ending is completely anti-climactic
The characters are all stereotypes
The script suffers from arbitrary complexity
The script goes off the rails in the third act
The script's questions are left unanswered
The story is a string of unrelated vignettes
The plot unravels through convenience/contrivance
The script is tonally confused
The protagonist is not as strong as [he or she needs to] be

New Music
Recently I bought new guitar. I try to listen music whenever I have time to do so.
Back to the past when I did music almost every day for consideable time.
Try to unearth some new music and artist.
So, here's what I've been listening lately:
Valerie June
Pushin' Against a Stone
Jack White
Blunderbuss
Mazedonian Ethnic Music
Exploring music with knowledge:
Practice, ask, desire, get it from yourself, walk around it, experiment, teach, read, write, listen, observe, put in order, define, combine, reason.
