Thank you miss kouradaki!

September

And to celebrate the beginning of the first Autumn month, here is a relevant song from my favourite genre, all the way from 1978.

Enjoy!

Silent Running Music Video - Bob Worren

As of today I am allowed to post the music video I did for a band called Bob Worren :-)

I used footage I had shot in Morocco in 2001. It was a lot of fun to make!

Road Trip

Today I'm off on a 1 week European Road Trip, that will take me to

Ancona, Florence, Milan, Komo, Geneva & finally France!

How exciting is that?

:-)

Human Humans

When something makes you smile and cry at the same time, you gotta know it's powerful stuff.

Just watch this.

Happy Birthday Me...

The Rose - Bette Middler



Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live

And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes a rose

Downtown - Petula Clark

In order to commemorate another wonderful evening out laughing and dancing last night, I decided to post a song that really illustrates my mood in point :-)

Eurobank

A TV commercial I starred in a few years back. Another testament to my fine, delicate acting abilities. If you don't speak Greek, this is fucking hilarious by the way.

Ahem.

Breath of Fresh Air

Remember this movie from the 90's? First Wives Club! I saw it years ago, but I got an instinctual smile while watching it again on TV just now. This song used to liberate me from all darkness in my life. And for no particular reason at all, it got me all high and mighty again tonight.

So I HAD to share it with y'all... Enjoy the end to the film and sing along. It works! :-)

6 Feet Under - Series Finale

Everything. Everyone. Everywhere. Ends.

And every ending is a new beginning.

Enjoy the final scene of the amazing series, featuring the spectacular Breathe Me by Sia.

Movie Star

I am going to be murdered today, with a poisonous chocolate milkshake @ a cafe in Thisseion, for a low bugdet feature film by Jonathan Zuck!

The choice of poison drink was my own.

That's what I call poetic justice.

:-)

It should be good fun!

Infinite Possibilities

Sometimes I wonder about the nature of pain and its place in our lives.

Pain has so many faces and many more effects on the way we choose to live, behave and feel.

However, there are times when I wonder if pain is really overrated. As human beings we tend to signify everything that happens to us in a way that ALL we deal with should somehow be grand, important, meaningful. We hang on to our misery (whatever the hell that might be at the time), we cling to it, like it is so significant that our lives depend upon it. We hang on for dear God, when in fact maybe, just maybe we should all but forget all kinds of nasty shit that comes our way, and just be really happy that we are simply alive. And then perhaps maybe, we could see that there are SO many things we could see, we could do, think and feel, so many things that we could BE, that are so much better and far more important than our misery, the one we keep savouring like some long forgotten treasure. There could be an infinite number of emotions, an infinite amount of pleasure and happiness waiting for us just around the corner. And all we'd have to do is pay some fucking attention instead of focusing on all the petty things that consume our days!

Could it be? Could it be that we should just leave everything bad behind and just turn the page, as if it never happened? Could it be that we should just live every day like it was our first and last at the same time? Like we ought to dedicate ourselves to NOW, instead of what HAS been and what IS to come? Could this be it?

It sounds too fucking simple.

But... what if it IS that fucking simple?
