 I was thinking today, what I would give for living an eternity? What is very important for me right now - I guess I wouldn't give anything. I couldn't support burying and survive all my relatives. But having a possibility to travel in past
 - it would be great and interesting. And even better would be to travel from one world to another. To fly in another galaxy and get to know with unusual creatures - it would be amazing! It would bother my peaceful mind.

The whole evening I spent in talks with Marina in the cafe. We discussed the future. I really worry about this. I think in some 100-200 years the Earth will be covered with no trees and inhabitted by no single being except for human. Marina is an optimist, she has another point of view.

That's great! I extremely negatively think about vandals profaning monuments and in general leaving after them signs for memory… But I understand these guys - glasses from Lennon's monument - are a souvenir! In general, if I was responsible for safety of this monument, I would order these glasses wholesale, and changed them in process
of disappearance. But I would not sell them, in no event - let those, who really need such souvenir will show their ingenuity and sharpness and will snipe glasses directly from the monument. I think the number of tourists, wishing to look at the monument would increase greatly…

I've recollected how I saw senior pupils in Cyprus. They gathered in one of expensive hotels in the end of academic year. All girls were in so expensive and beautiful dresses and boys in expensive suits. Probably hairdresses were
made in the best saloons. We were spending our evening at the restaurant of this hotel and the Cyprus hotels   employee has told us that all these schoolboys will find work without problems and many of them basically don't
need to work - their parents are rich. Actually there are no poor people in Cyprus, and those who work or have business - are very rich. Why I was not born in Cyprus or in Dubai ?!

Good friends, interesting books and sleeping conscience- all this means a good life! Today a remembered that I was amazed by very lazy salesmen. I suppose that in all countries with very warm climate the salesmen are the same. They have a better and more relaxed life than I have. Only rush:

Dreams have remained dreams? At least me dreams - yes… The Christmas has passed, and I
didn't manage to have a rest. But - it is already possible to dream, where I would like to have a rest in summer… or for next Christmas!

In the next apartment above ours, one boy also long enough tried to learn music. And the guy had absolutely other interests, but in obstinacy he and his mother did not concede. Result: for HALF a year of daily practice scales
he has never played it correctly. Talent!

Eventually my patience gave out, and when the next "practice" above began I switched my music. Rock. Loudly. Very loudly! In couple of weeks concerts above have ended, and the boy relieved of this torment then has met me in
the street and has told "thanks".:)

We don't have to draw troubles by our gloomy thoughts! Time is a severe thing, in the course of time even the Egyptian pyramids become worse. It is impossible to struggle with this; that means – we have to pay less attention to our back,knees and a short wind… Sport, movement and excellent mood - and we'll die when our time will come and not in a bed, but on the move!

The guitarist of Queen Brian May is appointed as an honorable John Moores University rector in Liverpool.The musician has been unanimously chosen on this post by the university board. May will start his new job in February, 2008 when the real honorable

rector of the educational institution – ex prime minister of Great Britain Toni Blair's wife Cheri Blair - will retire. Duties of the guitarist will include presiding at final ceremonies, and also in special cases participation on behalf of university in various actions.

 I want to remind, that in August, 2007 May has received a scientific degree in the field of astrophysics. He has graduated and has defended the thesis which has started to write 36 years ago, but it has been thrown in 1974 on a wave of Queen's success.
