Hey there, it's been a little while since my last article. Since, they are barely read I promised to myself I'm not gonna write that much in a 30 days amount of time.
All the shit that has been happening to me for a while now made me think of how you can improve yourself into being a better friend for those who expect you to, 'cause trust me there a lot of people who have expectation from you.
So, here is a list of what you can do to prove that you are trying:
read twitter, facebook and other social networking statuses from time to time
like those statuses after careful reading
comment statuses that intrigued you, statuses that you liked and read carefully
say "hi" once in a while, show that you're alive and the blood inside you is still running in your vanes
if you can't be there for your friends as you should at least try and keep in touch through Skype, not just type but CALL too
... in the years to come (not just in 2012) to finish what you have started in the last few years. I wish you to celebrate the endings of beautiful things and events and celebrate new beginnings. When celebrating I wish you not to be alone, but be surrounded by people who love you, like you, cherish you, idolize you 'cause I can tell they will at least try not to hurt you. But if ...
if you're alone I wish you meet people who'll be there for you all the time
if you want to be happy I wish you meet people who'll make you happy, have little things with endless meaningfulness
if you want money I wish to meet opportunities and catch them in one breath
I want you to be powerful the entire year, but just in case you run out of power come to me, I can loan you some. Every year is a perfect opportunity to find the true meaning of what friendship means, I wish 2012 will be your year.
When the end of a year is getting closer you begin to think of how it's started, you think of all that happened during the last 12 months, was is good ? Was is bad ?
Then you think of a new beginning, think of new changes, new things, a new plan and that's called - New Year's Resolution, it's like promising yourself to behave better in the New Year so you could end up on Santa's Good Kids lists only in much elaborate way.
All I can think of is that 2011 could've been better,a lot better, but as long as 2012 is going to be a little better I am going to call it a success, but I won't know until December 2012.
Months ago I got to experience this Facebook application that somehow keeps making me smile every time I use it. By giving it access to your Facebook account information (don't worry, it's safe) it creates a virtual museum of YOU.
Some of you , my dear Facebook friends, will catch sight of themselves as you my dear friends are a part of my past, present and future. Although some of you are (still) in my friends your part in my life is done. Thank you for passing through my life, but especially a thank those people who stayed.
Tomorrow some people celebrate with their families or friends or both Christmas. For some people it has some religious connotation, for others it's just Christmas, the magic period when you get gifts from your loved ones. It's the period of time when you sit quietly near the fireplace and listen to Christmas songs and restore all the power and energy you lost during the day at work or after dealing with brown nosing relatives.
Use this day to wish and say things that you only on special occasions, words like "I love you", "I cherish you" or "I miss you". It's a special day to give smiles to all people, to those who laugh but especially to those who cry. Don't save it all for Christmas day and give just a little love everyday.
For all of you who celebrate this day in any kind, I wish you:
a Merry Christmas ( a Happy New Year a bit later in the next week)
to be with your loved ones, whoever they are: brothers, sisters, parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends, etc.
Up until now you've known me little, showing you the list of my favorite TV shows will help you shape the image of me a little bit closer to the true one (in case, of course, you want to).
See below a full list of shows I've watched and still watch, with details of their ratings, press and awards.
1. Grey's Anatomy - been active since 2005, now on its 8th season. The multiple award winning TV show averaged 22 million first season, on second and third season had even bigger ratings. That was about ratings. Now about the plot. It's about five interns, about their struggles to become surgeons, but also about their personal matters. No matter who you are you find yourself related to at least character. It's not that much about their professional lives as their personal lives and how manage or fail to manage what they face everyday. This show is full of tragedies, not made up but inspired on true stories, by watching and trying to understand you get immunized for similar situations in your own life. But also, you'll come to appreciate its humor. Great acting, great plot lines, great soundtracks. If you want a preview of the entire show watch this:
2. Desperate Housewives - active since 2004, now on its 8th and final season. You may be mislead by its title but I can assure it's not only about housewives, some of them work too :). There is comedy and drama - it's a dramedy. Filled with interesting plot lines and lots of cliffhangers. It's a show about families and how they struggle with their daily things, it's about children and different way of raising them, it's about right and wrong, and how you can make wrong right again. It's about people's mistakes, it show you the true definition of friendship, but more or less it shows you also what backstabbing means. This multiple award winning show (7 Emmys and 3 Golden Globes) teaches you valuable lesson without having go through all the bad things that happened to these characters. To watch a preview of this amazing show watch the video below.
3. FRIENDS - I've had my share of comedies but nothing compares to this one, it's truly the greatest TV comedy in the history. It ran between '94 and 2004, its finale was watched by 60 million viewers. This show it's filled with dozen of jokes per minute. It will blow you away with every single episode. I, for instance, watched it 5 times from its first episode till the last one, and I laughed as hard as I did when I watched it the first time. You'll learn on fast-track what true friendship means, it'll teach you how to stand for your friends, it'll teach you how to stay the same good friends for many years to come. It'll show you that falling in love with your best friend is possible, it'll give you comfort for the loss you have experienced and give you hope that true friendships may be around the corner.
4. House MD - a great competition for the aforementioned medical drama Grey's Anatomy, its ratings and success was not worse, sometimes better (and I am explaining it this way, people avoid feelings and run from crying scenes being to weak to face them). This show is based basically on one character - the sarcastic and deceitful Dr. Gregory House, who doesn't obey to the rules, either internal hospital rules or any other laws. People are trying to change him and make him a better man who would actually feel for his patients, despite the fact that he is only one who treats cases that no one else can, he is the genius of the diagnostics. Throughout the series you see him as a genius doctor and a drug addict (after suffering a trauma got addicted to Vicodin) who is uncertain about where this gift comes from, his awesomeness or his addiction to Vicodin, or both ? Watching this series you'll love his sarcastic sense of humor and his way of treating patients, who according to him everybody lies.
5. Suits - it's a drama on air since this year (we're still in 2011) and is about Mike Ross, a college dropout who's dreams of becoming a lawyer got ruined in some unfortunate circumstances and who makes a living taking LSATs for other students. Thankfully for his amazing memorizing skills gets hired in a law firm by Harvey Specter, one of New York City's top attorneys. Once Mike does not have a degree, he and Harvey pretend that Mike is a Harvard alumni. You'll find this series particularly interesting to watch grace to its characters chemistry, Mike's eidetic memory and law knowledge, Harvey's kicking-ass techniques and many other things. This series has been classified as a hit series of 2011 and already got nominated for its first Screen Actors Guild. Watch the promo below and be struck by the its genuine acting and performances.
