Ant #308. Madonna at Brit Awards.

Superhuman, triumphant, living icon, hero...

That's how tabloids all over the world called Madonna after her epic performance at Brit Awards last night. But it wasn't only epic because of the show itself. She took a tumble...

It was one of the most heartbreaking moments in my life. My heart stopped when her dancers pulled her cape (as it was obviously planned) and she fell downstairs along with it. And I almost cried when I saw how this little fragile woman got up, put herself together and continued the ‪show‬. And she killed it all! Who even remembers there was a ceremony? Everyone talks about Madonna!

One of my friends posted on Facebook that suddenly he remembered one "Sex & the City" episode where Carrie Bradshaw fell on runway. So did I.

And that moment Carrie thought: "I had a choice – I could slink off the runway and let my inner model die of shame, or I could pick myself up, flaws and all, and finish. And that’s just what I did. Because when real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep on walking."

There's no one to blame for what happened. I think it's a fault of many people: of a designer/costumer who didn't make a velcro for the cape, of dancers who didn't notice she wasn't ready and pulled her down, of choreographers who decided that the cape should be taken off while she's on stairs (if she was standing on the floor she wouldn't fall, or at least not that hard), and of course of her own, coz in the end she's an artist and she's responsible.

But after all Madonna is a human being too. Shortly she posted on her Instagram.

Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine! ❤️#livingforlove

She didn't cry, she didn't look for compassion like some singers always do, victimizing themselves, she smiled and said she was "fine"! She proved once again that she has a right to be called ‪Queen Of Pop‬, she's the biggest professional in the music industry, she's a ‪‎showgirl‬, and she knows that ‪"Show Must Go On"‬.

I still feel said for what happened, but we all fall sometimes, literally or metaphorically. ‪Love‬ her even more now!

P.S. Smile of a real triumphant! God bless you Madonna! ^_^

Ant #244. World failure.

Yesterday I was walking with my friend across the city and we were talking about many things.
Suddenly he said:
- You know what? I think that the whole world is a big failure. I mean people, humanity. They are building our civilization last 4000 years? And? What have they created? Hateful place where one kills another one. It's a failure!

Of course, I disagreed... I just couldn't agree.
So we started arguing.
And after 2 hours of a burning hot conversation we decided to stop it coz it was pointless.

But when I got home, I started thinking about what I told him, about great things that humanity created.
It created a marriage. But there is a divorce.
It created an art. But there is a nuclear weapon.
It created beautiful cities. But there is a dying nature.
It created a medicine. But there are millions and millions of starving people.
It created a love. But there are cheating, betraying, using.

If it's not a failure, so what is it?

Ant #134. Epic fail.

Every time I think my life it getting better something happens to me.

Last night I spilled a tea (just a few drops) on my laptop, my pure MacBook Pro. I immediately grabbed a napkin and took all the liquid off. My device seemed working and I relaxed. But in 30 minutes the key "S" broke, then "shift". I ran away to bathroom and came back with a hair dryer. I wanted to dry the keyboard, but in a few second I saw that keys were melting! O_o
I almost started to cry! (((

I switched my mac off and fell asleep. At the morning I switched it on, but half of keys weren't working. I called to authorized service center, explain them a problem. They told me to come tomorrow with my laptop, they are going to diagnose it (for $100) and fix it ($300-1000 depending on what really broke). Fuuuuuuuuuuu....

What can I do now? Just pay. Damn it! (((((

Here it is.
