<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a moody and melancholic guy. I can get a bit sad just by seeing a kitten meowing for food. When something really sorrowful happens I can get in a melancholic mood for days in which I overeat, gain weight and so on. At least I’m usually in denial with a few kilos gained so that doesn’t lead to a downward spiral if I can get over it soon.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wasn’t always like that though. As a little kid I remember myself being hyperactive, always running and going places and never feel sad. Well most children are that way but I’m pretty sure I stopped being that sad-proof not as a teen but as soon as I stopped moving due to studies and so. I was stuck in a house with no exercise. I did see walking with a friend, as a way of feeling better but I thought it was mostly speaking with a friend and not the exercise itself.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then noticed it a few years ago after going to the gym for months. My melancholic moods were less and less common. I was then thinking that I was feeling better as I was looking more muscular and feeling more attractive. And when I wasn’t working out for days it was usually in exam periods or when I was sick so I though my melancholies were because, well I was studying, or was sick! Funny thing is that I knew about endorphins and how they work but knowing something and experiencing something is not the same of course.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I’m working out regularly, I feel better and feelings of anxiety or sorrow are less intense, even when there are a lot of things in mind. I have countless examples of going to the gym with no will to do anything than stay in bed and leaving the gym full of energy with my worries just a blur in my head. It changed my life not by improving my appearance but by being an escape, a way to feel better when everything else, friends love interests, even family fails. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">I constantly find
myself coping with change. Loving or hating it, change is always there and most
of the time there’s nothing you can do but embrace it. Change is also the best
remedy for boredom and for someone like me it’s a fairly useful one. For TV
especially, change is always better that a stale continuation of the same
scripts or worse, cancellation of a show in its prime. Of course that doesn't mean
that change is always easy to accept or that every little detail can be seen as
an evolution. But devolution is already considered an obsolete term in biology
so why should It be valid for a series?<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"></span>
<span lang="EN-US">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Two of the shows I
wanted to watch since I heard about them but never found the chance, were
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/">Doctor Who</a> and its spinoff, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485301/">Torchwood</a>. They are maybe the most famous shows
from the UK and of my favorite genre, Science Fiction. Both of them have also
changed significantly since their first episodes (I’ve never watched the old
Doctor Who series so I can't really write about them) and that’s the main
focus of this post.

started watching the opposite way, with Torchwood, and I fell in love. The
characters were lifelike and really interesting (a rare combination) and the
script was really mature and at least for the first season quite raw. When I
found out that the third season was only five episodes I felt betrayed. I
thought I had more to watch and five were so few, but fortunately all of them
were great. They were also very different. In the first two series every
episode had a different plot (except for 3 interconnected episodes) and the
third series <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Torchwood:_Children_of_Earth">(Children of Earth</a>) had one unified plot. It felt really
different but again the same. It was a little slower paced and had a lot more
minor characters with their lives and aspirations, but again it was the same
series, the same core.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN-US">Then some time
(and several Doctor Who episodes) later, I watched the forth series, titled:
“<a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Torchwood:_Miracle_Day">Miracle Day</a>”. My first thought of it was that <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Starz_%28TV_channel%29">Americans</a> have invaded Torchwood’s
production team. All these American actors felt different. Not just their
accents but their style of acting. It was always my belief that British actors
are usually on another league with better face expressions and so on, and I
finally had my proof. The scenes filmed in the UK felt like the Torchwood I
remembered, when in the US it was like, let's say <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Warehouse_13">Warehouse 13</a>. Thankfully <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Jack_Harkness">Jack</a> and
<a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Gwen_Cooper">Gwen</a> were there to remind me that I was still watching Torchwood but I wasn’t
that convinced for the first episodes. The direction was definitely American,
and so was the script development and everything except Jack and Gwen who felt
like strangers or guest characters. Nevertheless I still craved for more and with
every episode’s end, I anticipated the next one (still waiting for the last!).
I guess I still love the series (not that I had any doubt) and not only it
beats not being able to watch it, but if there is a season 5 without the new
characters or no new season at all, I’m going to miss the new ones as much as I
will miss the rest of the characters. Because with every episode this American
invasion became more and more Torchwood and the new characters are now part of
it. Sure I would also love a return to Wales and maybe have more than one plot
per season but Miracle Day is a part of all that make the series so dear to me
and I definitely want more of that.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Doctor Who is a
very different case. To begin with it didn’t change that much. For the casual
viewer only the Doctor has changed, but that is for the second time since 2005 (or,
well, tenth), and his companions, that change almost every year. Also the newer
episodes are of a higher production value with better sets and special effects
which can only be seen as an improvement. But what has really changed is
everything. The head writer and executive producers changed and with them of
course the whole direction. The format though is the same. Everything that made
a Doctor Who fan love it is still there. That is of course because the current head
writer, <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Steven_Moffat">Steven Moffat</a>, has already written several episodes for the series
during the <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Russell_T_Davies">Russell T Davies</a> era of the show. Those episodes were also some of
the best, so when Davies decided to leave the series Moffat was the best
choice. Under Moffat direction, Doctor Who feels more imaginative, spectacular
and limitless, but for me this is under a price.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Because what never seemed to amaze me in Doctor Who, was how real it felt. No matter
how many laws of physics were defied, no matter how impossible everything truly
was, you always thought: “Yeah. That could happen someday”, or “It seems about
right”. You could always see how what everything you were watching affected the people in the show and felt like that what you saw was definitely a part of a bigger picture. That’s why
it felt almost real. You could see yourself and your family, in your
home, try to shelter yourselves from poisonous gases, or alien invasions and then saved in the very last moment
by the Doctor. This is not the case for the fifth season and onwards. The
Doctor is now like an alien <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Peter_Pan">Peter Pan</a> taking his companions in different
versions of the <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Neverland">Neverland</a> (Actually his first episode reminded me of the film
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102057/">Hook</a>).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Another issue is
how the episodes are bound together. In both Doctor Who and Torchwood there
were always just subtle hints of the “big bad” to come, really easy to spot but
also easier to miss. Most episodes had little clues part of the script and what
bound them together was revealed in the last episodes. In Moffat’s Doctor Who
this connection is always there forcing you to see it. In most episodes it is
cleverly imported to the episode script but sometimes feels out of place.
Should the crack in time for example really be shown in every episode's end?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">The <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Eleventh_Doctor">new Doctor</a> is
lovable and adorably clueless but he doesn't seem as a continuation of <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Tenth_Doctor">Tennant’s</a>
and <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Ninth_Doctor">Eccleston’s</a> Doctors. He is like a previous version of theirs just a few
regenerations before. He is not only oblivious of every major Davies character (where
is <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Martha_Jones">Martha</a>, <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Donna_Noble">Donna</a> or Jack?) but of almost everything that he did in previous
seasons. The only familiar face in Moffat's creation, is River Song, one of
my favorite characters but also a fairly new one. On the other hand having a totally
different Doctor is not bad and could be revealed that he is not that forgetful
of his past adventures in future episodes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">No matter the
issues I have with new seasons, I still love it and sometimes the stories feel
more mature and thought provoking than the Davies' version. Change is, after
all, good especially if after Davies there was no Doctor Who. The show is still
at its finest with maybe a brightest future coming. I would just like to see a
familiar face. Jack is just around the corner and someone should keep an eye on
Martha and <a href="https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Mickey_Smith">Mickey</a> anyway.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Change is always
hard to accept and never what you accepted but after all it's here to save our
favorite series. Whether it's a cash <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2010/06_june/07/torchwood.shtml">infusion from a foreign country</a> or a <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7411177.stm">necessary change of direction,</a> if that is what keeps the series on air, let it come. Just
keep the core of the series the same and leave something to be familiar with.
If the script is good we'll always come back for more!</span></div>

Every time I make a new one, another piece of me gets out in the open. I can share my point of view about something without interruptions in my chain of thoughts. I hate, though, writing about things that I find trivial, and I don’t think it’s that important to have my point of view shared about every single issue. That’s why; sometimes it’s hard to find something that by my standards is worth writing about. Furthermore, after the Easter posts about change, I was still in the state of trying to adjust to new parameters. So, I decided not to spam the blog with more posts about routine or change and I think it’s for the better (In an alternate universe my unlucky readers have already stop following my one hundredth post about how I think I overcame the change followed by a post of how wrong I was about my previous post :P). Not that one about not writing normal posts is better but anyway. Hopefully I find something more interesting to write next. Till then!</div>Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017799353765664551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833964519981100428.post-88877668562439399292010-04-02T15:29:00.000-07:002010-04-02T15:29:14.199-07:00Same old routine...<div style="text-align: justify;">Though I really hate changes in my routine, I usually adjust quite fast. When a part of this routine get washed away, I have an almost foolproof practice keeping me from knowing the change. In the beginning I usually focus in what has remained unchanged. Being a person that constantly nags about how little time he has this can be fairly easy at least for some time. I just fill my time with what I was unable to do before and try to have a full day. This actually works sometimes when my I get used to this “new” routine and forget everything that’s missing. When this can’t be achieved and something is still missing, a trip can help. A completely new routine helps me forget I lost something from my normal one and then come home refreshed. But when the trip is not possible I try to find things I used to like but never got the time to do. Like some games I wanted to play years ago or going out with people I lost touch with. Not that this advice always works but it surely makes the first days quite easier.</div>Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017799353765664551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833964519981100428.post-53059817010281619282010-03-27T04:09:00.000-07:002010-03-27T04:09:45.636-07:00Just before…<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRy_-jmDeE0uVe0V2SLS9tC9htB92gPMenXdd0AyPgcF8NfsDgh9zVUrRKFjb9njwk9vd2Ienxi4VJQlfgbtbJb82VxjugAAwJm9itIaoRxo4JseIaEf9JwC5ZmjxiE8pNsxn_YvzuWDBa/s1600/easter-island.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRy_-jmDeE0uVe0V2SLS9tC9htB92gPMenXdd0AyPgcF8NfsDgh9zVUrRKFjb9njwk9vd2Ienxi4VJQlfgbtbJb82VxjugAAwJm9itIaoRxo4JseIaEf9JwC5ZmjxiE8pNsxn_YvzuWDBa/s320/easter-island.jpg" /></a>Once again I found myself without a specific subject to write about in my blog. These FAQs are written depending on what I hear from my friends so I can’t see a new post real soon. So I’ll talk about Easter. The two previous Easter holidays found me in Germany with my cousins. Even though we followed only a few traditions and mostly been for walks or shopping I had a blast. This year though due to my work schedule I’m stuck in Greece. I’ll definitely follow more traditions but I already miss my time in Germany. In addition a dear friend of mine is leaving the next days to take on a master degree. So I must find new ways to spend my holidays because the Christmas’ ones won’t suffice. I hate goodbyes and next week will be hard on me. Thankfully, though, my brother and a cousin will arrive from Crete in the same timetable, helping me pass the time. I’ll stop nagging now knowingly leaving my past quite erratic but you’ll get used to these kinds of posts. I wish everyone traveling home or to new places have a nice trip.</div> <br />
P.S. I know the photo is from the Easter Island and not something festive but I believe it fits better the post’s spirit.Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017799353765664551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833964519981100428.post-15265878381413249912010-03-26T15:31:00.000-07:002010-03-26T15:32:14.325-07:00FAQ Part 2It’s about time to continue my truly useful (?) FAQ.<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: This FAQ’s opinions are personal and by no means should be taken as true for everyone. If you think they are not useful for you, feel free to disregard them. But if you follow them, I won’t be responsible for any side effects. Every human being is unique after all.<strike> My</strike> A different point of view can’t harm anyone, right?<br />
<br />
<i><b>Question: What is OK to share with my significant other: </b></i><br />
My belief is that honesty is really important for a healthy relationship but there are things better left alone or at least said in a proper way. Due to the answers being gender specific, I’ll use M to point to male answers and F for the female counterparts. Easy to follow, right?<br />
<br />
<b>1. </b><b>The ex. <br />
<i>F.</i></b> For women there’s a simple answer. Don’t mention him, ever. Just, you know, stay away from the subject. We really have no interest in knowing anything about him. Just let us believe anything we like. We will figure out by ourselves how awful he has been to you, how he couldn’t satisfy you etc. If you still want to tell something, you can reinforce our believes, and maybe we won’t mind. But to be sure stay silent.<b><i><br />
M.</i></b> Once again you don’t know what she wants from you and of course you’ll never will, but anyway. At the beginning of your relationship a negative mention or two of your ex may or may not be useful. It’s really nice for her to feel more important than any other woman in your life. Phrases that can help include classics like: “You are the only woman that…”, “You are the first that…”, “My ex was nowhere near you in…” and can help you out of difficult situations. Just don’t overdo it. Another risky approach I don’t really endorse is using casually your ex’s name in skills your girlfriend isn’t that good to make her try harder. This is of course extremely risky as well as totally stupid and every girl can see through that. Finally I point once again to keep the mentions to your ex to a bare minimum. If you aren’t capable of doing so, not only you are not over her but your current girlfriend knows it too.<br />
<br />
<b>2. The mother: <br />
<i>M.</i></b> Never mention her. There are only rare cases of good relationships between your moms and your girlfriends. In these cases you’re safe. But for everything else a single notion of your mother’s cooking or cleaning skills will get you with little fail to an <strike>out of nowhere</strike> fight. <br />
<i><b>F.</b></i> The girls can mention their mothers any time, keeping in mind their mutual liking. <br />
<br />
<b>3. The Father:<br />
<i>F.</i></b> Actually most fathers have come to terms with the idea that someday their precious little girls will consider someone else as their man of their lives and keep a nice relationship with him. If you find yourself in this situation, feel free to mention him. But you should also keep in mind the advice for men and their mothers. In the same way stay clear for mentions like: “My father drives better than you” to stay away from trouble. If they, on the hand, have a rocky relationship to start with, not mention him at all.<br />
<b><i>M.</i></b> Finally an easy suggestion. Speak about him anytime, unless she keeps calling him “pervert” or “creep”. If so, stay clear.<br />
<br />
<b>4. General suggestions:</b><br />
Already mentioned, honesty is at most importance in a healthy relationship. In usual cases you must be able to share almost every detail without issues. Just keep in mind that there is a time for everything so try to find a proper moment for telling her/him you news or stories from your past. To be sure find times with no anxiety. Finally, if you’ve read this FAQ to find a way to tell your loved one about an infidelity or misuse of her/his trust I can’t help you. Your issue isn’t the way to tell her/him but what you’ve done.Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017799353765664551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833964519981100428.post-4838364326216630182010-03-20T18:27:00.000-07:002010-03-20T18:27:20.670-07:00FAQ Part 1In order to continue my FAQ for friends and family, an idea from <a href="http://lifehacker.com/">http://lifehacker.com/</a>, here’s a translation from my previous post.<br />
<br />
The first step is figuring out your situation.<br />
<br />
1. How awful do you feel?<br />
<br />
Α. I’m not that awful, just, you know, a little down.<br />
What do you mean “a little down”? Just get out of the house to get some fresh air and see some people. And that’s that. <br />
<br />
Β.Dude, I don’t know, I’m not well.<br />
OK you should repeat the A scenario. And maybe you should call someone first to feel a little better and hopefully have someone drag you for a walk or some coffee.<br />
<br />
C. I’m awful. I don’t know what to do next.<br />
I don’t think I can persuade you to leave the house, so call someone to talk a little then watch some series or a movie, play some video games etc.<br />
<br />
D. I hit rock bottom...<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">You are not reading this right now. You think you do but you are lost in your thought so you are not reading. So I won’t write anything truly useful. But if I’m wrong let’s start by counting the cracks on the wall. If you finished, continue by counting the tiles in the floor or the bathroom wall. Finished already? There are a lot of things to count. Hopefully you won’t run out till you fall in the above categories. In the meantime why don’t you do something almost productive like wash the dish or do the laundry? Too much? OK, back to counting…</div>Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017799353765664551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833964519981100428.post-84443349576381927542010-03-16T15:32:00.000-07:002010-03-16T15:32:16.100-07:00Never too late to have a good day<div style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday was one of these days you believe everything is going to be simply awful. I barely woke up to go to work; something I became accustomed to, due to serious lack of sleep these last weeks. Not been able to meet a coworker to the bus stop didn’t help with my mood either; alone in the bus and all... Everything seemed this day would be one to forget. But then the caffeine started to have an effect, and the customers seemed less rude than usual; maybe not such a bad day after all. A visit to some stores with a friend followed by a coffee in Harilaou and two really effective hours in the gym turned my mood around. And when I thought this couldn’t get any better, the game I waited for what it felt like forever, finally arrived. Before the day came to an end an evening coffee with some friends and seeing the opening video of that game for the first time really made it a good day. After all you can’t judge someone before fully knowing him and days are no exception</div><br />
P.S. I know I drink lots of coffee but hey I don’t sleep much.Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017799353765664551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833964519981100428.post-87126452162115844402010-03-16T15:31:00.000-07:002010-03-16T15:31:10.959-07:00Hello!This blog is not actually new. I’m on and off the blogosphere these past months but I usually write in my native language. After a friend of mine suggested writing in English for everyone to understand I came to the mirroring solution. One blog, two languages. So happy reading!Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03017799353765664551noreply@blogger.com0
