I have been busting my head about this blog... the more blogs I read, the more useless I think it is to make one. What is the proper blog-etiquette? Start one and make it about one, maybe two subjects? Start rambling and see where it takes you? Sheesh... whats a mess!
Anyway... so what to do? Lets see... I have 3 loves in my life. I have said before, the first is dogs. Its not nuclear science, its simple to me, its natural. Like breathing.
The second is food. Eating, cooking, serving, playing around... but food. Not pastry, not desserts. For some reason, sugar and I dont get along very well. I will eat them but I will not make them. Yea ok I can make a few easy ones, like a cake or muffins, or a cheesecake, our greek halva (made of semolina) and a mean crumble apple pie that my Scottish friend Jofi gave me. But pastry is science and I am not that smart. But food... hell yea. With food, you can play around... and if you make a mistake, there is always a way to correct it (unless you burn it, that is). And no flashy, modern kind of cooking... the simple grandmother way and the type of cooking that you just have to put all your love into. Cook to create. Not only to eat.
And the third... ah! Music. Rhythm... beat, passion. I am not one of those people who can listen to anything. I am not a big fan of classical music... I dont get crazy about opera... I am a 90's child and my mother introduced me to Motown, Rock N' Roll and Pop when I was very very young. So its just easier on my ears. And I get obssessed with a good voice. Not all those trash that think they can sing nowadays (I will not mention who). But a good, clear, steady, powerful voice. Music to me is... how can I put this? Freedom. Life. When I was young, I wanted to become a singer. Never had any training, dont come from a music family... I just liked singing. For my closest friends, mostly. I dont know if I am any good, I dont care anymore since I will never find out but you will always hear me humming... something, anything that has stuck in my head and I find soothing, comforting, liberating. I am picky about what I listen to. I cannot play any instruments, I never was able to figure out how to hold a guitar but hey... we cant have it all! And I am a simple person... I like keeping it simple.
So... where to go from here??? Who knows... time will only tell.
