O God, O Venus, O Mercury, patron of thieves,
Lend me a little tobacco-shop,
or install me in any profession
Save this damn'd profession of writing,
where one needs one's brains all the time.
Ezra Pound " The Lake Isle"
WATCH THIS SPACE - Becoming JJ development plans for the nearest future.
With time this website will be growing further my dear readers. Aside of the regular updates - and I have plenty to write about - three new things will be coming up.
Firstly, I decided to de-clutter my life. I will be working on both the tangible things as on the intangible.
I will be listing all my worldly possessions over here. Some of them I will throw away, some give away, some I will sell and some are to precious to me so I will keep them but share the stories that come with them. If out of the things that I plan to get rid of anything tickles your fancy, let me know, I can send it to you.
Secondly, following some great feedback over the last two months, I will be re-posting my poetry here. Majority of it is in Polish - sorry guys! And in the same time I will post my other artsy bits in a gallery, both the photography and drawings. I hope you will enjoy!
In the meantime please take a minute to answer the poll on the right - I plan to redesign the front page and perhaps the navigation; let me know what you think.
So, to summarise, watch this space! I intend to keep you... entertained ;)
Spare Cigarette - a mythical object.
If you are a smoker you would have noticed how frequently you are asked for a Spare Cigarette. While most of my smoking friends willingly give away some cigarettes from their own packets, I never do. I know that this cigarette that I am giving away will be the very same one I will be cursing that I no longer have once cash runs out. It will be that cigarette that I will crave for at an ungodly hour of the morning when everything is closed. And above all it will never be a Spare Cigarette, it will be simple one of mine that I will not smoke.
True Love, Fidelity and Hugh Laurie
I've been kicking myself since the last weekend.
Those who know me know that I have very lucid dreams and that whenever I do dream I am aware that it's not real but I don't interfere with the dream scenario - it's like watching a really cool movie with me in it.
Last weekend I had another one of those. I was in Hollywood attending a party, during which I met Hugh Laurie who was there on his own - and so was I. After a few funny cocktails and a longer chat he invited me over to his hotel suite.
WD MyBook Essential 1TB first impressions and the reasons why CDs and DVDs suck.
It finally arrived, day earlier than expected, my new external HDD.
First of all I was surprised how light it actually felt. Sure one kilo doesn't seem like much, but it was just simply lighter than I imagined. It was also a bit smaller than I imagined and above all SLEEEEEEK!!!! :> I was very happy to unpack it and set it on my desk.
