Filed under: the diary of a smart ass
Some of you may know me as Hit Girl and to this opportunity I must thank all of my fans out there, who have had the chance to witness and therefore praised my so many hits of pure wit and beauty!
To all of you bewitched disciples of the One who’s hits have so many times enchanted, thrilled, illuminated your dull existence I must now say good bye!
Times of guns – flower barreled – leather array and wild sex have reached their apocalyptic end!
Weep not, loyal admirers! Do not mourn, do not despair!
A new being and yet more complex in its perfection is about to take over!
A new creature has risen in all heavenly light and glory on Friday, the 18th of February only to perform a first act of terrible tempestuousness against RDS, the all mighty God of the Internet Providers in the little – known – country called Romania, the last known breeder of the Universal pursuit of lush freedom and eternal, afterlife truth-bound justice.
On the night of the 18th of February, glorious and misty, a yet to be known and praised sybarytic minion high-ended fierce-full hack attacks against the powerful server of the dominating Informational Force of this little, but never bent country. Yet perfectly slick and sophisticated, by a queer act of Divine Randomness, the attack’s IP origin has been detected! Praise the Lord howled The Lord Provider, The missdemeanorer has been traced! Throw the Minion into the Blackhole! Cutoff all her connections to the world!
Thrown in the cold dungeon of Lack of Information, left there to rot for two eternal lasting days, untouched by any pixel-carrying ray of light, the Minion has sworn revenge!
Hack Girl has been born on that humid floor of the atrocious pound! New hacking garments has she sowed for her oppressor’s future enrapture. And when the third day’s light has shone upon the open little window of the dungeon’s door she was ready! Awed in front of the stupendous Lord of the Inquiformatio, swore that while possessed by the Evil Virus only could she have performed such inhuman acts of betrayal against the Sys, or the Bro.
Ineluctably relished by the Minion’s enchantment, the Lord Inquiformator has molted.
A(t)las(t)! She was released! Only for never to be seen again! Apocalyptic mistake!
Do you smell that funny feeling? Someone is on your trace ! Coming to hack you!

I’ve recently come across a piece of rare discourse on the status of the ordinary man in the present society:
Alain de Botton – A Kinder Gentler Philosophy of Success
And for that i have to thank my endless source of pure wisdom. Ted also.
What makes it rare, I think, is neither its wit, nor the beauty of its saying. Moreover, among many other Ted discourses, you may even find it dull, uninteresting and why not, to all you genius scholars out there it might appear as a piece of bestseller crap, which may as well be, as its title might indicate. But what makes this piece of speech fairly worthy of some price – hardly definable by our current standards, and as for its implicit uniqueness, even more worthy of such a price – is a rather more distinctive quality, seldom to be found in human discourse since Socrates and back, a quality that might just make the man entitled to the honor of parrhesiastes, a title probably just as good as having eaten from the fabulous Heavenly apple tree – a quality consisting in spotting – in a moment of crystal pure awareness, I am sure – consisting in spotting and communicating the plain, crystal truth, in communicating something real. Which, however rooted in the accidental reality it may be, still surpasses many famous speeches on love or death or any other eternally human problem.
And as you run about this confusion inducing all fake color splashed world, wondering for a meaning of your day to day, no apparent purpose, actions’ monotony which much too often get you apparently nowhere, you might find in this speech a shade of comfort for your earthly earthling despair.

Trenul suiera a vacantza prin parul meu bate vantul ca doar stau pe scara sa fumez, campiile se intind lungi si lenese si arse. Doar eu si drumul, o bere o tzigara si hooverphonic… Echipata deja cu costumul de baie pe dedesubt, ma gandesc ca mai am doar cateva ore pana ma ia in bratzele ei marea!
Ha, fooled you! Credeatzi ca scriu pe netul de pe mobil! Ei bine nu, sunt in camera mea mishto, miroase a ploaie, ca tocmai s-a-nfurtunat nevoie mare, sigur ati fost si voi pe faza siiii, in concediul minunat de art director cu renume, ca orice art director pasionat ce pot face decat sa lucrez. Un minunat catalog de doar 30 de pagini.. lejeeer!! Catalog pe care – si aici in sfarsit o putem baga pe aia cu a fost o data – deci a fost o data facut. Ce ? Catalogul , ce altceva? Facut pana la jumatate. Povestea spune asa Artdirectoru’ de alb statea linistit in casutza lui de la marginea tablei de sah si tocmai finaliza pagina 15 a catalogului cu bucluc primit de la regina rosie care in povestea noastra alerga, bineinteles doar ca sa ramana pe loc. Pardon.. cred ca am incurcat borcanele aia e o alta poveste, si regina era alba. Catalogul crestea mare si frumos si destept cat alte cataloage in zece – zece elefanti se leganau??.. sau mai bine nu – totul era in grafic, deadline-ul urma a se respecta cu o sfintzenie demna de rari si putini artdirectori pe acest pamant manos al sfintei noastre patrii, bagajele asteptau cuminti secunda doi dupa deadline cand art directorul urma sa le culeaga de pe jos si sa le urce in caleashca de foc SPRE MAARE, SPRE MAARE… caaand… Cand apare din penumbra noptii racoroase maleficul artdirector de negru, alter ego calomniat si trimis la celalalt capat al tablei de sah, unde-i sade simetric… cand apare artdirectorul de negru, cu-o falca-n cer si una-n pamant! Ce e cu dezordinea aceasta racneste el ca apucatul. In linistea miezului de noapte, ca un tunet vocea lui se sparse! artdirectorul de alb se varui tot la fata, albul cel mai alb era negru pe langa tenul sau marmorat, ce mai, groaza i se citea in ochi stia ca nu mai e cale de scapare decat sa faca ordine! “Sa stergem fisierele care nu ne trebuiesc! Si mai repede! ” Tipa pe-un ton de soprana artul negru. Ce-i aici? doua fisiere cu acelasi nume? Sa stergem unul! Nuuuuuuuu, se auzi pentru ultima oara vocea strangulata a albului creativ. Distrusa, munca lui de-o saptamana zacea pe jos intr-o balta de sange! Cavalerul negru a sters fisierul bun. Un ultim hahait satisfacut ii acompanie retragerea din scena, la fel de misterios precum aparuse! Cu o mana pe pumnalul din inima, artdirectorul alb isi flutura in vant batista-i alba in urma trenului cu care tura de copywrite, calul, nebunul de alb si pionul, prieteni buni, se-mbarcasera fara el. Ramas singur pe peron, isi aprinse o tzigara, pregatindu-se sa inceapa catalogul din nou.. de la pagina uuunu!!!!…. cand… din departare se-auzi precum solul potopului… furtuna prevestitoare

Filed under: the diary of a smart ass | Tags: buy me with a coffee, europa libera, free encyclopedia, tagline, urma, video, wikipedia
Lately i’ve been too mushy therefore, when my dear friend, Nico has spotted a translation issue in my blog i found it to be the perfect opportunity to reinforce my smart ass reputation. And so it goes: apparently Wikipedia, in its Romanian version has a problem with the translation/copywritting of it’s very tagline: “The Free Encyclopedia”. It has currently been translated as “Encyclopedia Libera” – reminding us, the Romanians, very much of a dear old friend from one of our darkest historical periods – “Europa libera”. “Liber” in Romanian only means free as in independent, and freedom. For ‘free of charge’ there’s another word – “gratuit”, a polisemic word :D, of course, which has also a strong negative meaning of ‘cheap’. Apparently they chose to go with the independent aspect of the word, which i suppose was the right choice after all, however, it still sounds funny, and somehow revolutionary. Next possible tagline could be: Free Wikipedia! But let’s hope it doesn’t get to that! 😀
