Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay! 
...and please do not hesitate to post a reply! 
Today, 25 of March, it’s a national holiday here in Greece, something like Independence Day, commemorating the start of the revolt against the Ottoman Turkish occupation of Greece in 1821.
And, as every year, there was that big military parade. Thousands of soldiers, sailors, paratroopers, tanks, missile launchers, jets and helicopters flying overhead, etc…etc…. A loud military cacophony, a symphony of death. As I already have told you, I live, and work, right in the center of downtown
And of course this is another long weekend. Everybody, and his dog, have gone away to the “country”. I decided to stay at home and work. No, not even to Nea Filadefia and mother’s food and TV. What I need right now is some quality, creative, work time. I feel so much better when I create something good. I already have finished three cartoons for the “9” magazine and I am quite pleased with them. And not television, no thank you, no, no! I think that’s what makes me feel low, a mindless waste of time in front of that stupid box. I don’t watch even the DVDs that are included in the newspapers.
Back to the books! Now, I’m reading a 1956 book about the dead sea scrolls, don’t ask me why, I’d don’t know, I am not religious at all! It is just simply that the secondhand bookstore in my neighborhood, that I usually buy my books from, seemed to have replaced all their books with “romantic” novels. So it was either those books or the book about the dead sea scrolls. It wasn’t such a tough choice!
I rediscovered the dictating tool of the Windows xp and although it’s not perfect it is helpful. And as, since the stroke I had, I have some difficulty typing, now I can write more than a couple of lines in my blog… I don’t know if that’s such a good thing but anyhow…
OK… bye bye my dears
