..smile, you're in a candid camera..

One of the most difficult questions you ran on throughout your whole life is when somebody asks you to describe yourself in a few words. I tend to view people as open, neverending books with new chapters added every single day - the Stephen-King-online model; you never know how they are going to behave in a situation you've never encountered them in, and it's obligatory to understand that even people close to you might surprise you in the most unexpected moment. In other words, it's quite confident of you to pretend you know somebody well. Though it could be a subject of discussion, but nevertheless, you probably understand now how awkward I must be feeling to write something, which could be considered as hey-its-my-new-awesome-blog-I-rock-well-hope-i-ll-see-you-again-cheers. Not to mention the fact I rarely speak of myself.

But all right, let's give it a shot.

As for today, I'm an IT & Math student of the Lodz University Math Department, who feels quite lonely in the insensible crowd of people whose world starts and ends either in the IT Matrix or in the hey-guys-i-got-totally-stoned-yesterday-and-shagged-twenty-girls-want-
my-autograph?. Oh, sorry! it's kissed there, not shagged. No offence for the kindergarten.

Yeah, you've probably guessed it by now, I'm quite a romantic type of the guy, somewhat 70/80-ish. This is probably one of the major reasons I don't really like the direction modern world is heading towards. It's not really about the war in Iraq, as I can actually see pros and cons for the Bush's decision, and can somewhat understand his point of view. Nor pr0n, violence in the movies, and so on. What I really resent the world for is the way people nowadays treat each other, or - should I rather say - disrespect. I don't really know how it used to be 100 or 200 years ago, and I certainly understand that every generation tends to complain about how the times have changed and how much they wished it would be like in these good ol' days. Everything is subjective. Still, what I really miss in people is honesty, honour and understanding what friendship is really all about. Up to now, I found these in people I could count on the fingers of one hand.

Sad. Or maybe it's just me, I really find it difficult to trust someone. It takes time.

Sometimes a lot of it.


Anyway, what I'm going to write about, is not only about the way I perceive the world, people and events taking place around me, though I'm not going to conceal that it's the main reason that drove me to creating this blog. I'm also a programmer myself [generally interested in the area of the modern 3D graphics, but compression algorithms also absorb me] so I'm planning to publish some posts about my current work from time to time.

Basically, I'm not planning to scare you off with some major geek stuff - I'll leave it to people who drain satisfaction from such behaviour, as there's nothing else they are able to do than that. What I really like to do is to introduce complex problems to an average John and see him understand, what I'm really talking about.

Hope you'll take a peek at this blog from time to time :) Cheers!
