You might ask me, why I walk every morning to work. Why no matter the weather I always prefer to walk? Not so long ago I used to take a cab every morning to work. To tell you the truth, it was fast and comfortable but still. Nowadays, I prefer to walk.
Why? Because I get the coolest feeling walking down the street, listening to my favorite tune on my super phone, having my black sunglasses on, singing along with the tune I’m listening to. On the way to work I look for peoples faces and expressions. Some are worried, some sad, some bitter, some happy, some laughing. It’s gonna sound stupid, but I try to give a genuine smile to the worried, sad or bitter faces. Sometimes I get a weird look back, but most of the time I see their faces light up, lips stretching, worries and bitter disappear and I get the same genuine smile back. How is this possible, that something so little as a genuine smile can make worries, bitterness, sadness fade away? By giving away so little, I’ve lighten up someone’s day, perhaps only by a brief moment, but it’s something. It’s like building up my happy mood on my way to work and it’s sometimes helping me go trough a hard day.
You might wonder why I started this…

Hey Guys,
It’s Thursday evening and I’m still at work, trying to figure out some personal stuff. I know I should be heading home, but I can’t … I have to finish this. Why am I writing today? Honestly? I don’t know. I don’t even know what I’m going to write but I’m pretty sure I can build on the way.
There have been some developments in my life. Right now I’m struggling hard to get my drivers license, It’s not much but It’s still a pain in the a**. Besides this I’ve got some new opportunities here and I’ve been working on three personal projects. I’m trying to pave My Road into life, working on different projects that may or may not make me an entrepreneur in the near future, and I can tell you something: It feels pretty good doing something for myself for a change :).
Now back to the opportunities I was talking about: just recently I’ve got an interesting hint, I might be teaching for a semester at my University. It may sound weird but I’m not going anywhere till March next year so why the hell not. If this works out I’m going to have my own pets to experiment up-on [evil_grin] … and I’ll get payed. I’ve become somewhat materialistic in the last period, and of course it has nothing to do with the fact I really, really like to spend money (can’t help it … runs in the family).
I was pondering today about friends, those I haven’t seen in a while and those I lost recently. I haven’t forgotten none of them, none of you guys if you’re reading this, but I’ve been a stranger to lots of them these past months. It’s the n time I promise to myself I’m gonna do something about it. This blog is a small step :D.
That’s it for tonight. Enjoy the new tune[1] I’ve uploaded. It makes me remember a very special person each time I hear it.
Over and out,
The Lion.[1]

While I was reading a friend‘s blog today, I stumbled up-on a video. Usually I don’t watch this kind of things, but my friend wrote in his post it would be worth my time.
I had the patience to wait for the YouTube video to load and started watching. By the middle of the video shivers were running down my spine. This video is one of the few leaving a mark, it shows how we often forget about the small things that can make our lives more enjoyable. Although it’s right there in front of us, we’re so engulfed in our daily routine and we just can’t see it.
Free Hugs is a true story and has become an Internet phenomenon:

Hello guys,
Right now I’m like living in a black hole. Too much has happened during the past 2 weeks and I hadn’t the time to really recover from all this. I had nothing but stupid and bad feelings to write about so I decided not to. Today tough, a friend of mine got in touch with me and gave me this poem that really touched something inside. I know I’ve recognized myself, moments of my life, in some of the verses bellow.
I Feared
I feared being alone
Until I learned to like
Myself.
I feared failure
Until I realized that I only
Fail when I don’t try.
