Duminica, 15 ianuarie, ma aflam cu un amic pe Bd. Magheru in jurul orei 23:00. Dupa un ceai in oras, am decis sa vedem cu ochii nostri ce se intampla in centru. La sfarsitul serii, am regretat aceasta decizie. Dupa ce am vazut destul din proteste, am decis ca nu mai doream sa avem nimic de-a face cu manifestarile si ca era momentul sa ne ducem acasa. Pentru a evita multimea si actiunea de la Universitate, am luat-o pe Victoriei in intentia de a prinde un taxi la o intersectie. Intre timp ne-am si oprit la un supermarket non-stop, unde am luat mancare (pentru acasa, in general paine si altele pentru sandwichuri). La coltul cu Capsa, un grup de jandarmi ne-au oprit din drum si ne-au rugat sa asteptam langa cofetarie, pe Academiei. I-am intrebat de ce fac asta: raspunsul a fost ca ne retin un pic dupa care ne vor da drumul. Pe moment nu ni s-a parut atat de iesit din comun, dar pentru a nu agrava faptele am decis sa fim totusi rabdatori si sa terminam cat mai repede cu aceasta treaba. ...
We're smart people.

These little questions in life that have big implications - this is what this series is about. I've asked a few friends to answer a simple question: Why is the Earth Round? Here are some of their answers: And here are some of their (and other) answers, quoted: Andrei said: "The Earth is round because it's on an elliptical path around the Sun.

Let me start this bit off by mentioning just how huge of a Star Wars fan I am. Like many other boys my age, I was fascinated by the fairy-tale like sci-fi space opera and the je ne sais quoi that made Star Wars beloved by millions of fans. To this day I can’t properly express what it is about Star Wars that makes it so appealing. It’s awesome, it’s organic, it’s realistic in an interesting way (for once, it’s not set in our future or even our corner of the universe…that helps open your mind up and make room for things that you would normally frown upon if the franchise was set in a more familiar setting), it’s got struggle, heroism, space battles, villains and heroes, super-powers, princesses and queens, lasers, sword-fighting … It’s got EVERYTHNG guys love.
