Obviously, if I continue posting one article per month my few but lovely readers will prefer a ride on the waves of moving fun of youtube than coming here to check if anything is posted!
Additionally, this is not going to be a "normal" post, if such expression exists; it is just a reference on what's in my mind and what I would like to see it posted the next weeks when my time will be less occupied by work.
For sure, I would like to dedicate some lines for my experience in Turkey (already been there previous week and I' ll go back again in a couple of weeks). These would be my first visits in this country although historically and geographically so near. Added up to that, the training there is about democracy and participation, so I presume lots of inspiration while carrying it out.
As well, with a great friend of mine and a brilliant brain and character that I so much admire and I really owe to him a great deal of my today's professional and personal capacities we have started an email correspondence on a quite radical topic; or to say it better, the topic is the topic but our approach and "thinking over it" seems to be quite radical...The topic, the topic, the topic (like Ben Stiller responds to his girlfriends telling him "I love you"..."love, love, love!!!"). When I have a good pile of digital information in my mail box, I' ll do my best to make it available in a coherent manner (although coherence in writing is not my vision)...
Certainly I want to comment on the "Freakonomics" book I recently read; rather inspiring, USA at the core but still examples are not far from my reality, absolutely mind-opening with the fear to become way too open-minded, enriching with some practical mathematics one's own vision to the world surrounding him/her. I am not good in writing book reviews, so I would rather bullet point some inspiring aspects of it. I ll see. What I definitely support is the "no unifying theme" approach in their writing and practice (which they somehow parallelize it with the way people write in blogs).
Maybe I ll write something about the festivities time...it depends how inspiring the weather will be.
I want to write something about the situation in Kossovo as well; by the time I come back from Turkey, the deadline from UN is expiring and the developments until the day will profoundly influence the stability in the wider Balkan area.
I want to write about all and everything...but for the moment, I need to keep my eyes open the whole night cause I am catching a red eye flight to Prague and then to Lithuania...
Until next time...
