Scary times!

it does not fail to surprise the current affairs around the world. The chaos is only starting, the irony in all of it is the terrible weather and climate conditions that are taking certain areas by storm.

Insurance companies going bust, banks trembling because of liquidity issues, the whole world is suffering one of the strongest crisis ever and still certain Mass Media are informing about the skirt a particular lady is wearing, or the importance of a soccer coach about a stupid match he does not remember.

To my eyes, this is clear misinformation and to some extent manipulation of current events, reality or whatever you wish to call it.

If you look, listen and go around, you will perceive that something wrong is happening to the world. The whole global economy is shaking and so are the local smaller economies. In terms of climate it is more of the same story, even the Pope is saying bizarre things these days (well, Bennedicte has always been anyway…) but the whole point is that ladies and gentlemen, we should step back a bit and have a look at the world where we live and that OUR CHILDREN will inherit from us.

Violence is a #1 topic as well, kids are dying to play at the Grand theft Auto games for instance, because the reality, vividness and emotions, most probably are things that in the “real” non virtual world are each day more diffifuclt to sense.

with this small pondering i leave now.

“Mickey Mouse Co.”

The title of this post is an euphemism.

And for those of you who are not too familiar with the term, see def by wikipedia below.

This post, far from wanting to be any closely related to the famous Walt Disney creation, the adorable and funny, Mickey Mouse, it refers to certain type of companies where the characters resemble much closer to a fantasy world. A Mickey mouse Co.mpany is a typical enterprise where some (if not pretty much all) decisions are made in a very unsual way or even not following the ethics or business standards.

If you have read this far, you might have probably guessed that recently I have experienced one of these kinds of decisions very closely

The good news if on a different matter. Life from newborns brings a sense of prolongation of one’s self. This is my case now. Very soon I will become father and I will see a new boy crying and saying hello in a few years.

Have a good evening!
