I have this very strange relation with tabloid press. I actually don't buy it and for those who have been reading my blog you would know that I have no tv or radio.
Strangely enough I find it difficult to live in London and not being contaminated with all of this "celebrity" news.
So here, i know that Sienna Miller is supposedly dating a guy who is married with 2 children. Said like that it sounds terrible. As a woman I cannot support any other woman having a relationship with anyone involved in a relationship. I would definitely tell off a friend in this situation (the Sienna situation or the married guy situation). It is meant to be a hurtfull situation for anyone involved short or long term.
But at the same time, how much do we really know about what is going on? Really nothing! So how can we judge anyone involved?
It stikes me that Sienna Miller (who I don't know but share the being a woman with) is the one that is really getting all the grunt. All right she might be doing something not right but hey she is not the one attached. What do we hear about alledged lover? Close to nothing. It really pisses me off.
Whatever is goign on we have no right to judge what is presented to us by the shittiest and least reliable media.
Sienna, I hope you make your life choices based on what you know is right. Women who are concerned by the state of our society, I hope that you realise that only the facts that you can assess are worth considering will make your mind up.
It is crucial for us all to realise that media are trying to maintain us in medieval times and that women specifically should rebell against sitcom-based scenarios stating that young attractive woman can still happy husband and father of two out of his conmmitment for the sake of her crazy life-style.
Let's all get real!

The big issue
@ 2008-09-18 – 00:38:00
Where I come from we are taught not to give money to homeless or beggars. It sounds ruthless, doesn't it?!
Well we are taught that it is really a state issue that some people are living in the streets and that it should be the government taking care of those who are in the worst situation and getting them to a situation where they can start making choices again. we are taught that giving money to homeless is encouraging this issue to be considered an individual one instead of a society one.
I really thought it made sense and kept myself firm when crossing paths with someone asking me for money in the street.
When I moved to London I never bought the Big Issue for those reasons and felt ok about it.
Tonight a friend of mine came for dinner and keft a Big Issue at my place. I just flicked through and thought it was actually not that bad. Even quite good. The kind of magazine I could buy at a news agent... I read the bit about how it is sold and thought it was brilliant. It changed my mind.
I will buy it from now on, only if the cover gets me interested becawuse I want to stick to the non charity side of helping people.
I think you should have a look at it and maybe like me you might change your mind about it. Just sharing with you... You never know, you might be selling it on the street like me very soon... -
Lehman Brothers and other financial disasters

If you work in finance or have been following what is going on, I don't need to explain... For the others, please read the news...
I found myself explaining what was going on this week to quite a few of my friends that are not directly involved in this financial meltdown. Yes, it will affect all of us at some point. It is a greem time. But hey, consequenses are a very rational thing to happen in our societies. If you play with fire, you have to be aware that getting burnt is a possibility.
We have all been aware of hard times being a reality and we all could take a good look at it from the beginning of the year. Those in the worst case scenario have been the first ones to experience it but it is now likely to affect also the very secure ones so far. Yes, I do fear for my job, my mortgage and my living but hey I am still qualified enough to get any job and not silly to reject a Mc Donalds one even if that is my last possible choice. I have done so far any of the possible jobs and I am happy to work whatever. Though me ending up in mcdonalds is quite unlikely, let's be honest...
Yes I am worried about people who have not that many skills, children and are supporting a family. If they are past 40 it will be a struggle in job market that is likely to admit a considerable number of highly qualified ypoung people without any of the struggles that parenting life means.
Strangely enough it has only been my friends who occupy high positions in the financial world that have been talking to me about their wrries about future. They won't be in trouble for long though.
But it strikes me thta those who are in worst situations will really have a hard time.
Let's face it, how can I possibly have a good time if I am living amongst those who are enduring a terrible crisis. The relief of being out of trouble myself is not making me a happy person.
i am just hoping that the crisis we are going through is a one that will set a nwew society and ranging people in different ways, allowing people with very different skillsets to be recognised and valued amongst all of us and setting new goals for a new society.
I am all for that. iam all for something new, cleverer and more open.Let's see what happens. There could be a lot fo good out of it.
Good night!

So much to comment on...
@ 2008-09-18 – 00:11:06
Dear readers,
First I'd like to thank you for reading. Sincerely I am very glad you are taking the time to go through my blogs and again sincerely I am praising you for supporting my logorrheas and rants. I started blogging to actually relieve my boyfriend and friends from listening to my never stopping discourses and finding some relif myself in exposing my opinions without making anyone prisonner of those...
Today I feel there is so much I want to ttalk about... And sadly all my dinner went home and my bf had to go to bed early for early meeting reasons, bless him.I will be writing a few posts and just check the titles so that you don't get dragged into something you'd rather not go for... I officially warned you!
For those who decided to go to bed and avoid my threads, I wish you a good noght, and for the others i can only apologize in advance.
