World Cup, and on a sad note.........

Its been a while, but hey, days just tend to mesh into each other here ok?

So, the World Cup has been on for a few weeks and group stages are nearly over. Greece are out not that its a shocker or anything but it must be said that they put up a good fight despite their shameful first match against South Korea.

I dont have much to say about this World Cup except the difference between this one and others i have seen are, well, its soooo frickin boring. The matches are boring, the players are boring. Usually you have some player or team that really outshines the rest and plays really exciting soccer but not this time....Maybe in the knock out stages they will show some passion.

I must also pass on my condolences to the Serbian team, they totally deserved to go through to the next stage. Ah well, next time guys.

On to a more serious note.

I am sad to report the death of somebody who was as much a Santorinian as anyone who has come and lived here in the last years.
I only found out today that he died about a week ago.
So, Rest in Peace Francesco Morici.
Very sad to hear you are no longer with us.
I have not heard details, nor is it really that important except he was not well for quite a time so i hope that now he is not suffering and at peace.

On a happier note, the return of a much loved friend to the island with family recently sparked a possible PERMANENT return to the island. That is of course, if the right property comes along, which i sincerely hope it does. Would be great to have you back Missy......Karterados needs some life in it!

The only gossip i have is that a certain servitora was seen canoodling with a transient visitor to the island a few weeks ago.

4th of July promises to be a great night, the annual BBQ is back on at the Seniorita's avli......CANNOT WAIT! (I promised the Original Sushi Boys I would do a beer bong in their memory)

Nothing else to report right now but will get my investigative nose working to get more juicy gossip for you readers.......
See y'all soon.

This heat is a killer......

The last 3 days have been unbearably hot on our little nisaki and the forecast says its just going to get hotter so i have some tips for those trying to endure it.
1. Put your sheets in the freezer and take them out 25 mins before you go to sleep, admittedly they will be a little damp but hey, a cold is a small price to pay for being able to sleep all night.
2. Greek men - learn to use deodorant.......its not funny anymore, you are going to make the tourists pass out from your BO.
3. Tourist men, please keep your shirts on, looking at your pasty hairy chests is enough to make any normal person want to hurl.
4. Cruise ship tourists, we are just aware as you that its frickin boilin...no need to proclaim it to all and sundry as you clog up our little walkways.

Also, on driving or more specifically asian idiots driving scooters. THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT BIG RED SIGN! It means DO NOT DRIVE DOWN THIS ROAD. Next time i catch you going through the main square and nearly killing me im gonna institute the teaching of the WWF and clothesline your yellow ass. Got it?
Also, when somebody trys to help you and tell you that you the road is closed, you should listen to them! They are not trying to ruin your holiday they are trying to stop you from getting yourself killed.

Thats about it for today, im way too overheated to think of any more witty comments so will get back to you readers when i have more matierial and my body temperature has gone back to normal.

Considering...................

I have been having a week of contemplating things in life.......
For instance, if you work for an entire month shouldn't you be entitled to be paid at the end of the month like you were promised by your boss?? I propose an interest be added to salaries to those bosses who always and i mean AlWAYS pay late......If it was a credit card or some other payment they would be subject to a fine right??? So why not add say a 5% surcharge for late payments of salaries?


Another thing, its seems to me that lately i have not been good at my communication skills or maybe what i have been trying to say keeps getting lost in translation.....
Or possibly the people i am trying to communicate with just like to antagonise and ignore me? What part of 'I dont like' is difficult to understand???


I heard on the news the other day about this Russian guy. Apparently this guy, 22 years old, is married and because of his wife's bitching he wanted to commit suicide.....Soooooo He jumped from the window in his apartment on the 5th floor. He sustained no injuries, picked himself back up and walked back to the apartment where his wife bitched at him for trying to kill himself so he threw himself outta the window AGAIN!!! and still sustained no injuries...Either God wants this guy to suffer or his bones are made of steel.....Either way, dont you think a divorce would be an easier course of action??

And considering relationships, I was thinking recently and just because you become a couple, doesnt not become a reason to lose your own individuality......I mean, when you are in a couple you become Her and Him, there never really is him on his own or her on her own, when you speak of the couple or either one of them you always associate them with their partner......its more commonly known as their other half! and therein lies the rub.....If now, these 2 people are halves, then when they were single were they only half then or 1 whole??? Its as if, being single means you are only half a person, but I dont find that true....In order to be a part of a couple shouldn't you already be a whole person on your own and your partner be the person you want to share that 'entirety' of your being with??? Or is it because people believe that we are only truly whole once we have met our partner? Before then, you were just some person lost looking for the rest of themselves to fill them up and therefore a singleton is not a whole person? Very philosophical i know, but it bears thinking about......

And so, on to some news.......
