Ένα παραμύθι...

Μια μέρα, ο βοριάς και ο ήλιος άρχισαν να μαλώνουν για το ποιός είναι ο πιο δυνατός.
<Αν φυσούσα μ΄όλη μου τη δύναμη.όλα θα πάγωναν>,είπε ο βοριάς.
<Αν τύλιγα με τις ακτίνες μου όλη τη γή,θα καίγονταν τα πάντα>,του απάντησε ο ήλιος.
Και καθώς κανένας απο τους δύο δεν υποχωρούσε,
ο καβγάς συνεχιζόταν για μέρες.
<Εντάξει,λοιπόν! Ας δούμε ποιος είναι ο πιο δυνατός>,πρότεινε ο βοριάς μια μέρα.
<Ωραία>,συμφώνησε ο ήλιος,<νικητης θα είναι αυτός που θα καταφέρει να βγάλει τα ρούχα αυτού του ταξιδιώτη εκει κάτω>.
<Χα χα!Πανεύκολο>είπε με σιγουριά ο βοριάς.
<Αρκεί να φυσήξω μια φορά και ο ταξιδιώτης θα χάσει το πανωφόρι του>.

Ο βοριάς πήρε μια βαθιά ανάσα και φύσηξε όσο πιο δυνατά μπορούσε.
Ο ταξιδιώτης άρχισε να τρέμει.<Μπρρρ! Τι δυνατό κρύο είναι αυτό!>
Ο αέρας λυσσομανούσε και ο ταξιδιώτης είχε παγώσει απο το τσουχτερό κρύο!
<Καλύτερα να φορέσω ζεστά ρούχα!>είπε τουρτουρίζοντας.
Έβγαλε απο την τσάντα του μερικά ζέστα ρούχα και τα φόρεσε προσπαθώντας να ζεσταθεί.
<Θα κάνω ακόμα μια προσπάθεια>,φώναξε ο βοριάς και φύσηξε άλλη μια φορά , ακόμα πιο δυνατά.
Ο ταξιδιώτης ,όμως ,έσφιξε δυνατά τα ρούχα επάνω του και συνέχισε το δρόμο του.
<Νομίζω πως απέτυχες,φίλε μου>,του είπε ο ήλιος.

<Τώρα είναι η σειρά μου!>είπε και με τις καυτές αχτίδες του αγκάλιασε τον ταξιδιώτη.
<Μα τι συνβαίνει;>απόρησε έκπληκτος ο άντρας.
<Τι παράξενη μέρα κι αυτή;Ξαφνικά άρχισε να κάνει πολλή ζέστη>,είπε και σκούπισε τον ιδρώτα που είχε αρχίσει να τρέχει στο μέτωπό του.
Τότε ο ήλιος τον άγγιξε με τις πιο καυτές αχτίδες του.
<Φιου!Τι αφόρητη ζέστη είναι αυτή!>
<Καλύτερα να βγάλω όλα αθτά τα ρούχα>,είπε ο ταξιδιώτης και άρχισε να βγάζει το ένα ρούχο μετά το άλλο.Έπειτα,με μια βουτιά
βρέθηκε στα δροσερά νερά του ποταμού.

'Ενας άντρας, έκανε τη συνηθισμένη του βόλτα περπατώντας στους δρόμους της Αθήνας λέγοντας την προσευχή του. Ξαφνικά λέει δυνατά: "Θεέ μου σε παρακαλώ, άσε με να σου κάνω μια ευχή!" Τότε μονομιάς, οι ουρανοί σκοτινιάζουν, σύννεφα απλώνονται από πάνω του και η φωνή του Θεού από το υπερπέραν ακούγεται να λέει: "Επειδή ανέκαθεν προσπαθούσες και ήσουν πιστός σε Εμένα με κάθε τρόπο, θα σου δώσω την ευκαιρία να κάνεις την ευχή σου." Κι ο τύπος λέει: "Θέλω να φτιάξεις μια γέφυρα μέχρι την Αντίπαρο, έτσι ώστε να πηγαίνω με το αμάξι μου όποια ώρα θελήσω." Ο Κύριος του απαντάει: "Το αίτημα σου είναι καθαρά τεχνοκρατικό. Φαντάσου τις δαπάνες ενός τέτοιου εγχειρήματος. Τα χιλιάδες στηρίγματα που θα χρειάζονταν και θα έφταναν τα βάθη του Αιγαίου! Το τσιμέντο και το ατσάλι που θα χρειαζόταν! Μπορώ να το κάνω, αλλά μου είναι δύσκολο να εκπληρώσω την επιθυμία σου για ένα ζήτημα τόσο πεζό. Μπορείς να σκεφτείς κάτι άλλο; μια ευχή που θα με τιμούσε και θα με δόξαζε." Ο άντρας σκεφτόταν για πολύ, πολύ ώρα. Τελικά λέει: "Θεέ μου, εύχομαι να μπορούσα να καταλάβω τις γυναίκες. Θέλω να ξέρω πώς νοιώθουν μέσα τους, τι έχουν στο μυαλό τους όταν δεν μιλούν, γιατί κλαίνε, τι εννοούν όταν λένε 'όχι' και πώς μπορώ να κάνω μια γυναίκα αληθινά ευτυχισμένη" Μετά από λίγα λεπτά ο Θεός του λέει: "Θέλεις δύο λωρίδες ή τέσσερις σ'εκείνη τη γέφυρα;"

strange world...

χρωματίζω πουλιά

Τόσα άστρα και γώ να λιμοκτονώ
χρωματίζω πουλιά, χάρτινα πουλιά
και περιμένω να κελαηδήσουν,
και περιμένω να κελαηδήσουν…
γιατί χειμώνιασε

Τόσα άστρα και εγώ να λιμοκτονώ
κάνε λοιπόν κύριε
να ‘χει κανείς ένα φίλο
δος του ένα σκυλί
ή ένα φανάρι του δρόμου
γιατί χειμώνιασε

(Τάσος Λειβαδίτης)

Are you ready to play the game??

Are you ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Sure you want to play
this tainted love
Ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Sure you want to play
this tainted love
Ready to play the game
Ready to lose it all
Are you sure you want to play ???

let me be your hero....

Just Hold Me...

Comfortable as I am I need your reassurance
And comfortable as you are
You count the days ...

But if I wanted silence I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness I'd choose to go
And if i liked rejection I'd audition
And if I didn't love you You would know

And why can't you just hold me??

And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken
and why do I still care still care

You say you see the light now
At the end of this narrow hall
I wish it didn't matter

I wish I didn't give you all

But if I wanted silence I would whisper
And if I wanted loneliness I'd choose to go
And if i liked rejection I'd audition
And if I didn't love you You would know

And why can't you just hold me
And how come it is so hard
and do you like to see me broken
And why do I still care?

Poor little misunderstood baby
No one likes a sad face
But I can't remember life without him
I think I did have good days
I think I did have good days

And Why ....Why can't you just hold me
And how come it is so hard
And do you like to see me broken
And why do I still care?!

Love is the drug

Being in love is physically similar to the buzz of taking drugs and also has withdrawal symptoms, an expert on addiction has said.
Dr John Marsden says dopamine - the drug released by the brain when it is aroused - has similar effects on the body and mind as cocaine or speed.
"Attraction and lust really is like a drug. It leaves you wanting more," the National Addiction Centre head said.
His findings will appear in a BBC programme to be broadcast next month.
Pounding heart
"Being attracted to someone sparks the same incredible feelings no matter who you are. Love really does know no boundaries," he said.
According to Dr Marsden - a chartered psychologist - the brain which processes emotions becomes "fired up" when talking to someone it finds attractive.
The heart pounds three times faster than normal and causes blood to be diverted to the cheeks and sexual organs, which causes the feeling of butterflies in the stomach, he says.
However, as with cocaine and speed, the "hit" is only temporary, though it can last between three and seven years, he added.
Perfect partner
Dr Marsden's research for the BBC's Body Hits series suggests people look for similar features to themselves in a partner as they are searching for characteristics in their mother and father, who have already successfully raised a child.

"It might look like we are all after the perfect partner to wine and dine but underneath, our animal instincts are seeking out an ideal mate to share our genes with."
"We tend to go for the smell of somebody who has a very different immune system and that stops you fancying your family.
"Our biology drives us to find a perfect compromise between sameness and difference and we strike that balance all the time when it comes to choosing faces and smells," he said.
Sex trap
The research also suggests sex is booby-trapped to make partners bond.
"Your body has evolved over millions of years with one aim - to go forth and multiply, so while having kids may not be on the agenda just yet your body has a few tricks up its sleeve to drag you in that direction," he said.
According to the research the more two people have sex together, the more likely they are to bond.
"We all know you can have sex without falling in love but if you have enough sex with the same person there's a good chance you will hit the body's booby-trap which is there to tip you head over heels into love," said Dr Marsden.
"So your body goes all out to make you bond with your partner and that makes love highly addictive and the withdrawal sucks."

When you're gone...

I always needed time on my own I never thought I'd need you there when I cry And the days feel like years when I'm alone And the bed where you lie is made up on your side When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missing you When you're gone The face I came to know is missing too When you're gone The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok I miss you I've never felt this way before Everything that I do reminds me of you And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do When you walk away I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now We were made for each other Out here forever I know we were, yeah All I ever wanted was for you to know Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me...

The Heart of The Matter....

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore

Knife in my heart...

Something is hurting my heart…
Feels like a knife…
Your words… How can words hurt so much???!!
You moved on…
I moved on…
I thought I can not live without you, but, you see… I can…
It feels like betrayal, but then your words…
Like a knife in my heart…
And I know!!
I didn’t betray you!
I loved you as much as this…
I loved you so much that your words can make my heart bleed… still…

You know me better than anyone else...

Εσύ με ξέρεις πιο πολύ, απ' όλους στη ζωή μου
τα μαγικά ταξίδια μου, τα έκανες κι εσύ
Όταν η νύχτα μ' έστελνε, στα στέκια της ερήμου
για σένα ήταν πάντα απλό, να ψάξεις να με βρεις
Σου λέω με ξέρεις πιο πολύ, απ' όλους στη ζωή μου
για σένα είναι πάντα απλό, να ψάξεις να με βρεις.

Κι απόψε, μες την έρημη την πόλη, που με βρήκες πάλι,
πάρε με κοντά σου

Κρύψε με μες το παλτό σου, κάνε με κορμί δικό σου
ως την άκρη του μυαλού σου, ως την άκρη του ουρανού σου
Τύλιξέ με στο κασκόλ σου, σαν παιδί σαν άγγελό σου
να χαθώ στη μυρωδιά σου, να χωρέσω στ' όνομά σου

Η πόλη παίζει τη σκληρή, στα ενήλικα παιδιά της
κι αν λείπει το άλλο σου μισό, μισός μένεις κι εσύ
μα όταν μαζί σου περπατώ, στα έρημα στενά της
στο πέλαγος της μοναξιάς μου, γίνεσαι νησί
Η πόλη παίζει τη σκληρή, στα ενήλικα παιδιά της
κι αν λείπει το άλλο σου μισό, μισός μένεις κι εσύ.

HURT

"Hurt"

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Would you care for me if I was deaf and blindWould you hear my voice if I was always quietWould you hold my hand if I was going to fallWould you cry for me would you know my name at allWould you be there if I was on the groundWould you be my friend if no one was aroundWould you hold me close if I was in the coldWould you pray for me would you know my name at allWould you care would you be thereFor the soul behind the faceWould you love me for what I amWould you care would you be thereFor the soul behind the faceWould you love me for what I amWould you care would you be thereFor the soul behind the faceWould you love me for what I amWould you care would you be thereFor the soul behind the faceWould you love me for what I amWould you love me for what I amWould you love me for what I amWould you love me for what I am

MISS YOU LOVE - Maria Mena

I've run out of complicated theories
So now I'm taking back my words
and I'm preparing for the breakdown
Your t-shirt's lost its smell of you
And the bathroom's still a mess
Remind me why we decided this was for the best

Because I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you
Love..

I know the distance is a factor
But I stretch as often as I can
My goal's to reach your hands any day now
Please don't blame me for trying
To fix this one last time
I have a hard time as it is

Because I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love

Don't act like you don't know me
It's still me I've never changed
I'll be here when you come back

And I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you
love..

I am - Bon Jovi

How you spend your minutes are what matters
All tomorrows come from yesterday's
When you're feeling broke and bruised and sometimes shattered
Blew out the candles on the cake like everything's a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break
If all we've got is us then lifes worth living
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing

I Am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believes you
No ones there to understand
I Am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one, is there to hold your hand
I Am

We're just who we are, there's no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing

And I aint got no halo hanging over my head
I aint gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I Am
I Am

we can communicate better with our mother!!!

Countries of the world - Libya ( ليبيا )

Libya (Arabic: ليبيا ‎), officially the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya ( الجماهيرية العربية الليبية الشعبية الإشتراكية العظمى ‎) is a country in North Africa. Bordering the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Libya lies between Egypt to the east, Sudan to the southeast, Chad and Niger to the south, and Algeria and Tunisia to the west. Libya is almost as big as 1.8 million square kilometres (700,000 sq mi), and 90% of that is desert. It is the fourth largest country in Africa by area, and the 17th largest in the world.

The capital, Tripoli, has 1.7 million of Libya's 5.7 million people. The three traditional parts of the country are Tripolitania, the Fezzan and Cyrenaica.
In Greek the tribesmen were called Libyes and their country became "Libya", although in ancient Greece the term had a broader meaning, encompassing all of North Africa west of Egypt. Later on, at the time of Ibn Khaldun, the same big tribe was known as Lawata.
Libya has the ninth highest GDP (PPP) per capita of Africa, behind Seychelles and South Africa. This is largely due to its large petroleum reserves and low population.

The Greeks conquered Eastern Libya when, according to tradition, emigrants from the crowded island of Thera were commanded by the oracle at Delphi to seek a new home in North Africa. In 630 BC, they founded the city of Cyrene. Within 200 years, four more important Greek cities were established in the area: Barce (Al Marj); Euhesperides (later Berenice, present-day Benghazi); Teuchira (later Arsinoe, present-day Tukrah); and Apollonia (Susah), the port of Cyrene. Together with Cyrene, they were known as the Pentapolis (Five Cities).

The Flag of Libya is the only national flag in the world with just one color and with no design, insignia, or other details.
Green is the traditional color of Islam, the state religion. It is also symbolic of Gaddafi's "Green Revolution".

My Roses...

Θέλω μόνο να μ' αγαπάς... Γιατί...

Πάλι νιώθω μακριά
πως κοιμάται η ψυχή μου
Και του χειμώνα η παγωνιά
να τρυπάει το κορμί μου

Ξέρω έφταιξα εγώ
Μα πλήρωσα για αυτό στ' αλήθεια
Γιατί ήξερα από την αρχή
Και διάλεξα τα παραμύθια

Θέλω μόνο να μ' αγαπάς ...

Θέλω μόνο να μ' αγαπάς...

Ξέρω έφταιξα εγώ
Μα πλήρωσα για αυτό στ' αλήθεια...

Θέλω μόνο να μ' αγαπάς...

Γιατί, γιατί, γιατί
απομακρύνεσαι...

Γιατί, γιατί, γιατί
απ’ το όνειρο κρύβεσαι...

Γιατί, γιατί, γιατί
δεν παραδίνεσαι...

Η αγάπη τα πάντα ζητά
το ξέρει όποιος αγαπά!

Human - Pretenders

I play a good game, but not good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
But I had you fooled enough
to take me on
If love was a war, it's you who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue

Now the damage is done...

CHORUS:
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside

I thought you'd come through,
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart

See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside

And the damage is done...

CHORUS:
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside

Why Women Cry...

A little boy asked his mother, 'Why are you crying?' 'Because I'm a woman,' she told him.
'I don't understand,' he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, 'And you never will.'

Later the little boy asked his father, 'Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?'
'All women cry for no reason,' was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, 'God, why do women cry so easily?'

God said:
'When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue with out complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.'

'You see my son,' said God, 'the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides.'

Countries of the world - Italy (Italia)

Italy (Italia), officially the Italian Republic, is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily and Sardinia. Italy shares its northern Alpine boundary with France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within the Italian Peninsula, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland.

Italy has been the home of many European cultures, such as the Etruscans and the Romans, and later was the birthplace of the movement of the Renaissance, that began in Tuscany and spread all over Europe. Italy's capital Rome has been for centuries the center of Western civilization, and is the seat of the Catholic Church.

Today, Italy is a democratic republic, and a developed country. It is a founding member of what is now the European Union (having signed the Treaty of Rome in 1957), and also a member of the G8, NATO, OECD, the Council of Europe, the Western European Union, and the Central European Initiative. Beginning January 1, 2007 Italy became a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

The flag of Italy is a tricolour featuring three equally sized vertical bands of green, white and red, with the green at the hoist side. Some have tried to attribute some particular values to the colors and a common interpretation is that the green represents the country's plains and the hills; white, the snowy Alps; and red, the blood spilt in the Italian Independence wars. A more religious interpretation is that the green represents hope; the white represents faith and the red represents charity. This interpretation references the three theological virtues.

Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world and has the second largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia. It was part of British India prior to partition in 1947 and has a long history of settlement and civilization including the Indus Valley Civilization. The Greeks, Persians, Arabs, Afghans, Turks, and Mongols have invaded the region. The territory was incorporated into British India in the nineteenth century. Since its independence, the country has been characterized by periods of military and economic growth interspersed with political instability.

The nation was founded officially as the Dominion of Pakistan in 1947, under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League, and was renamed the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in 1956.

It is also a member of the United Nations, World Trade Organization, G33 developing countries, Group of 77 developing nations and is a nuclear power.

The national flag of Pakistan was designed by Syed Amir-uddin Kedwaii and was based on the original flag of the Muslim League. The Constituent Assemblyon adopted it August 11, 1947, just days before independence. The flag is referred to in the national anthem as Parcham-e-Sitāra-o-Hilāl in Urdu (lit. Flag of the Crescent and Star). The flag comprises a dark green field, representing the Muslim majority of Pakistan, with a vertical white stripe in the hoist, representing religious minorities. In the centre are a white crescent moon, representing progress, and a white five-pointed star, representing light and knowledge. The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam, the Islamic world and the rights of religious minorities. The flag is flown on several important days of the year including Republic Day and Independence Day.
