The hobbies return

When I saw this picture I immediately thought: “for all that is sacred, knitting can be so cool (and pervert)!”

And have a look at the art of this mister Yuko Shimizu.

Desperate people do desperate deeds – they call them hobbies!

Some times I really do feel like I’m some hardcore cynic. I curse this country of extremely organized people, where the level of organization reaches the limits of perversion, but yet again I seem to secretly wish to make my life more organized… After the peak of my emotional imbalance (mainly caused by my grandma’s death) I decided to take a control of my life and make it more pleasant. And then as a little child, who never did anything fun in its life, I started new hobbies. Indeed I never had a real hobby in my life – that was considered as waiting time, for this highly talented, scientific oriented child a.k.a me!

And what does this new Vesna do in her life:

• Two new hobbies:

1. Knitting – I am not joking!!! I started knitting, although many people find it weird and old fashioned! Well it’s extremely relaxing, reminds me of my childhood and the time passed with my grandmother. I feel like I am creating something I can give to someone I care about… I could multi-task: socialize , think, even read a paper . I even bought a book about knitting and philosophical thoughts… I am indeed going insane.
2. Designing jewelry. I am just a newbie and most of the stuff I did look like crap, but I like it. What can I say, it develops my hidden artistic soul hehe. It also requires a lot of patience, and helps me in acquiring my inner peace, gives me time for my philosophical thought on existence and all that bullshit that is torturing me lately…

And despite all this useless things I am trying to fill in my “free” time, all of a sudden I become a freaking athlete!!! I am doing sports every day. Starting with gymnastics (Monday and Thursday), capoeira (Wednesday and Friday) and (if I am not puking ) fitness on Tuesday! What a life!!! Well at least it helps for the sake of my ass and my beauty sleep!!! Oh and of course – for my harmony with the universe!

I must say though, that one of my most useful hobbies I have is cooking… Maybe one of the most successful so far (ask Paulo for confirmation ). Some proofs of my skill follow:

Well I guess I updated you with the latest happenings in my boring life. Other than that, everything remains the same: same old frustrations about my “exciting” work, still enjoying my anal phase of cleaning activities and being labeled as “Nazi”, still spending money on clothes and presents, still thinking that tomorrow everything will be better. And still listening to Return to innocence. Even at this very moment…
