Sold Out, Thrown Out

Directly made the title tricky but it's a positive blog post. I've been selling my 'stuff and thangs' for quite some time now. Most of them sold out fast /the fancy or quality ones/ but sadly few of the rest needed to be thrown out /nobody could use them/. Remember the popular quote: 'The less you own the less that owns you'? Well, I think I've been doing a great job to feel lighter and lighter. Money is useful but sometimes you have to take a deep breath and give it out for free. It's for the better, trust me on that. I'm having a huge amount of experience in becoming a nomad in each and every way.

In human life, there are certain moments when you can tell that change is coming. You can sense it in the air, feel it in your bones, believe it in your heart. Nobody has to know, it's enough if you are aware. But you have to be ready when it finally arrives. For me, it's always been like this. Years have passed then change has happened.

Nowadays it's somehow relieving to know that even the luckiest people on this Earth have dreams to fulfill. I just read about Frodo's /Elijah Wood/ dream to be a part of the Marvel or Star Wars universe. Man, that's something. And him being 40-year-old, also a fact one can hardly come over. /He's not looking like an adult at all./

For me, an action-adventure-drama-comedy movie would do. I write in this genre and my newest interest is to try my skills in TV shows.

Today is special, celebrating my soul grandpa, A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's appearance day. He gave us more than any human ever could, so I am now back to writing that essay that needs to be done for my Bhaktivedanta College's paper, the Tattva.

God's Birthday - Happy जन्माष्टमी Janmāṣṭamī

It's a tough one if you ask me. What would you give to God for His birthday? /Knowing that He needs nothing material./

You are a soul and you have a body. What can you offer to God who is the Supreme Soul - the Supreme Personality? 

God is most definitely personal - so are we. Unique in our own way. Variety makes human life interesting, and in the spiritual world, it is also present. Each and every one of us has a special gift from God, and we are given some time to discover and use that. We are here because we wanted to enjoy life like God but the way to be truly happy is to make God happy. This is the way. Not Mandalorian but human.

Today we celebrate the Vedic way - offering mantras, tilaka, flowers, leaves, water, fruits, veggies, sweets, incense, and light. We chant, sing, and dance for God because He likes it. God is eternally cheerful and originates in the spiritual platform. So are we. 

Our heart is what we can offer. Fully surrendered. What does this mean? Temptations are there, troubles from the mind are there, pain from the body and the heart is there, yet our core is not connected to any of these. We are all wonderful creatures made out of the pure love of God.

A positive approach is always healthier in human life, yet the current situation in the world makes it the hardest to maintain. Keep yourselves active, walk outside, observe Mother Nature, hear the birds sing, watch the sunrise and the sunset, do some spiritual practices! Things may vary but you all have to do it willingly!

Spiritual understanding of human life in all aspects. To reach the goal, first, you have to recognize the path and start walking on it.

Wishing you all a day of wonders, laughter, magical moments, pure love, compassion, goodness, determination, productivity!

The King's Woman

Secret services of kings and queens, parliaments, and governments. All of you want to know how they work but none of you really want to join. Just imagine, one day somebody comes and asks you to save the country. /Or to save the world./ What would you say? No is not an option, really. But how to train and get ready fast enough for a task like that? I believe I was born ready. Trained and raised by the most disciplined and strict man on Mother Earth's surface. I can learn anything if shown properly. I can think and act like a man which caused hundreds of funny and sad situations while growing up /and evolving into the present me/. Dignity and nobility truly come from your actions not your words, nor your visions of yourself. Human life is hard but there's always a reason for the pain. /Short note: no pain lasts forever./

Huge plus: I look damn good in a suit. Tweeds also perfectly fit me. Just saying, in case anyone is reading this. I mean, you guys. ;)

August is almost over, can you believe it? Well, balls started to freeze off if you know what I'm cooking. Hehe. Bloody hilarious though. As an autumn child, I'm fine. Hot and cold, same to me. 

In the mood for some adventure to grab me at my coat. 2020 went down like preparation, so having high hopes for the end of 2021. You? Anything on your chest? Let it go or let it out! Try to save the best for the rest! Our story is not over yet. Humanity is still here. Not doing much good but when did we? Few of us are out there doing what all should, yet no thanks ever reaching them. Hereby, I am saluting you all. Thank you for your service.

your cheerful and faithful servant,

Wonder Woman 1984 with a Blues Brother 1986

Being born in the 1980s is a special gift. Having a little brother is another. You start to grow into the person you are today in your early childhood days, and I'm more than grateful he was my companion with all his huge heart and great humor. We are going to meet today with my Blues Brother 1986. God bless all siblings in this crappy place called Earth. Well, not bad all the time but would be worse without them, that's a fact. I feel the need, the need for speed. Haha. He knows me and we have our words nobody else can understand. My first best friend. My better half, the little angel who came into this human nightmare to support me. I wish all his dreams and desires come true, and I pray for him to find inner peace and true love. Not to mention the perfect health and wealth, always. Love you, Blues Brother 1986! Forever.

Wonder Woman Wednesday. Haha, we are about to see if it rocks that big. 1984 was a great year, not just because I was born but it made some impact on this planet, I guess. /Just kidding, or not?/ I love to trick people and provoke them until they reveal the real deal. How about you? When are you going to face me? Comments are below, feel free! Or drop a message on my Instagram /katathenomad/! I have the power to turn things around, yet being so sensitive and having a huge amount of empathy is not helping the official path of a badass. Never giving in. Walking the road until God calls me back.

Writing is the best job for me. I won't run out of material in a million years. Ideas come and go, so let them! Pick the best out of the rest! As a 'Natural Born Writer,' I'm doing what I came here for /not to mention the rumble, of course,/. Funny is a sign of intelligence. I can only talk happily to people with a certain amount of witty and charming. The others are just part of survival. Looking for new adventures and artists out there to collaborate with. Anybody reading this? Consider it as an emergency. Hurry, we must save what's left of this world! Aye!

your cheerful WW1984,

The Festival of Strength

Balarama Jayanti is today. Trying to honor it my way, with the things affordable and possible for me at this present moment. My heart is with all the devotees worldwide. Balarama represents spiritual strength which we all need to continue our self-discovery. The real self, the soul. I can not imagine my human life without growing and learning constantly. Balarama is going to bless us all with His mercy then we can go back to Godhead when our journey ends here in this material world. Looking forward to the next chapter! Self-realization!

One year ago I have started this blog on Balarama Purnima. How funny human life is. Nothing is a coincidence, I believe. God has a plan for all of us, it's just extremely hard to see sometimes. What would be the next gig for me? I am eagerly waiting in this tiny lake house room. Soon I'm leaving though but to where - only God knows. I made a promise to myself and I can pray for it to come true. Where to live your life is important, where to go from one place, where to find shelter. Wish me luck if you have a minute or two.

I am a wanderer, never afraid of the unknown. I like new chapters and adventures. Trying to listen to God today, to hear what message Lord Balarama may send to me. Have a great Full Moon Day and Night, dear devotees and friends all over the world!

Best wishes to you all,

Villainous Cold and Bear Hug

I caught a drastically heavy cold in the middle of the last summer vacation week at Lake Balaton. Taking meds and not being able to swim nor row is crucial to me. Daydreaming about settling down next to a campfire for the rest of my days. No worries people, it's just a cold, not any variant of the Coronavirus. Walking baby steps on the path of recovery. Nature's meds are the best (ginger, honey, garlic, etc.) but my current condition made it necessary to take some serious meds too.

What are the moments that shape our lives? 

I believe the connections we make are one of the most important decisions in life. The family you can't choose but your friends and your love is another deal. You get attracted by something then it grows into a different kind of story. Adventures and a complete journey with them. It's a great feeling to share precious moments with them. Get more of that love, people! Spread the bright side of human life!

Sending you huge bear hugs,

your friend,

Lake Venom and Big City Life

Mondays are the new beginnings. I hope so. Lake Balaton got some strange and dangerous venom in it. I try to fight it but it is indeed poisonous to the skin and all other organs (lungs, heart, stomach, etc). Going to find out what has affected the seaweed (hínár) here at the south shore. I gathered it and threw as much out as I could to be able to walk in for swimming (and rowing). Then I swallowed some water accidentally and now my throat hurts. I have ginger and honey, luckily. Had a crazy headache (1st time in my life so far) last night, assuming because of this unknown venom. Not giving in. Going to fight against it today and figure out the cure. Wish me luck, think I am going to need it.

Other reality stuff. The news is killing me softly. No joke in there. About the Covid-19 (and all its variants) and the vaccines, every country has its own kind of red alert by now, again. 4th wave, they printed out today. Great. Slowly but looks like the virus is getting back. It was "emergency use authorization" how Pfizer and the others got into the business, now waiting for the final authorization. Looks like there are still many people out there who decided to wait a few months more until this whole vaccine thing rolls out. More than 6 months, I believe. Not careless but careful. Trying too hard?

Safety in the Big City Life aka Budapest. I've always been a wanderer, had many crews, walked a thousand streets, yet I believe it's been a while now since our 'Heart of Europe' is acting unsafely. I'm an advocate of homeless women, yet I know perfectly well how many of them behave badly. Abusive, aggressive, dangerous behavior is daily whether you are a male or a female target. Yes, we need to say this out loud. Asking for money is one thing. We all live (eat, drink, dress, sleep) on money. But these homeless people are way too greedy and desperate. The police here do nothing. At least, we are not experiencing any change. I've always been a fighter, so for me, it's easier than for most women (or men). On the other hand, it is NOT NORMAL to walk on the streets, in the underground, ride the bus/tram/train and be AFRAID of these homeless/drunk/drugged people.

Have you ever thought about WHY are they acting like this? When have they gone out of patience? WHY the government does nothing to help them? Most homeless people lost their jobs. Some of them had no addiction before losing every material thing they had. I've always made time to talk to those who were sober and they said nobody is there for them. The places where they can register for 1 night (!) are full before 10am, so usually, they go from one place to the other until the dark falls. Then they sleep wherever they can. Losing their human part happens faster than they have ever thought it is about to happen.

Promise to get back to you with better words next time!

Friday The 13th

I like today's date - Friday the 13th. It got under our skin that these days are special. I'm one of those who believe in the luck of today. Always on the bright side? Nope. Trying to stay there, yes. Fridays are better than the rest, giving us the triumph of surviving another week. Not that the week has been too bad, it is just the little things that keep us moving forward.

Can hardly believe we are already in the middle of August. What has happened? Who took away the days? Yet, we can do plenty with the rest of it. Each day is a fresh start for me. Never too late to do something. Anything. One has to push herself/himself further. Human life is truly precious, one must not waste it.

Staying true to the real self is hard. Everybody and everything try us. For the better they say but it's extremely heavy at times to understand that. Challenges are there for us but when all you can experience are these tests and obstacles, well, requires a strength you'd never imagine you had. 

I hereby encourage all of you to keep walking your path. Not what others tell you to walk. Not what fear tells you to walk. The one you feel deep inside is yours. Faith helps a lot. Not saying that I've never experienced that 'DArk Night of the Soul'. I have and I'm sure I am going to. Yet, never giving in is the key.

Collection Squad

Sold some of my beloved books in order to prepare for a relocation. It's going to happen, just not sure yet to where and when. I can feel it in my gut. It has had always been like this. I need to see the rest of the world, pandemic or not. Enough is enough. Waiting for it to go away is the worst kind of decision. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. I have to be ready for my chance to move. Selling and donating/giving away my stuff and things is the way. Not Mandalorian but good for now.

Had a chat with various aged women about being childless and childfree. It seems like being one of the most interesting topics of nowadays time. Reasons are as many as the women who appeared to talk about it. Hereby I am going to list a few common ones. More than one of them said the 'planet is already full' as the main reason why not to have a child. The second most popular was the 'huge responsibility' issue with saying everything they do will have an effect on the baby. It can not be re-done. Once you said or did something it has an impact on that other soul. The most disturbing for these women was the 'giving birth' part itself. They said to me that it is 'super frightening' and 'extremely shocking'. The financial part is heavily weighing in for the 'no kids on my block' decision. People are having less and less to share with the future family. An adult can easily accommodate herself/himself to any kind of situation but a child needs to be protected and well-raised. 

The big difference between the childless and childfree also created havoc. These women fought with each other, yet I pointed out none of them should be attacked because of their bodily situation or decision is. Some of them see kids as chains. They don't want to live in one place for years which is a huge possibility when you welcome a baby. Others said they can grab the baby and travel too. It was a heated discussion, for sure.

The possibility of divorcing is also a factor. Nowadays relationships and marriages are not the 'forever' kind. People get in fast and get out faster. They see the kids as 'super annoying little freaks'. /Some women who have kids came too, they said in complete agreement that every child can be 'super irritating for no real reason'./ No adult wants to be left alone with a child or children.

The final topic was how men react to it nowadays. We all agreed that it depends on the man but the common sense /agreement/ seems to be still the same: 'all woman must give birth at some point to become a whole'. Human life has its surprises, faith in God's plan can do a lot to bring you all peace with it. Yet, none of you out there have to feel ashamed nor embarrassed if the herd's opinion is not yours at all. Keep it true, true to yourself, and true to your partner!

Organized Crime in Summerland

I'd make a perfect detective. Anyone hiring? Seriously, human life ain't that much of a mystery. To solve a case, everything is there you need. Always. No criminal can beat the natural sensor of a true survivor. The 'been there - done that' phrase helps a lot. Real bad people with really bad intentions, they hide and wait. The ones with big or small power at their hands are even worse. When you are a nobody and have nothing, that's the perfect angle to notice them from. 

Summerland is where we are at. Are you girls and boys happy with it? Do you need any excuse to be on the beach again? If no surf paradise is near you then the park or a friend's rooftop is just as good, trust me on that! Try to inhale some positivity! August has begun a week ago, so better be doing something to remember in the colder days ahead! Much ahead but be ready dear folks!

Relocation got harder since this whole Covid-19 pandemic has entered our lives but never giving in! Searching, planning, enjoying the right here and right now, meanwhile.

Screenwriting had to pause for a short period because I have to edit one of my previous essays. Being scientific about human life is still new to me but every field has to be owned by a true writer, am I right? Wondering when is going to be my directorial debut, starring who, and where to premiere at?

Please take 'childhood abuse' much more seriously because that is where most adult problems are coming from! A child needs protection from her/his parents because that's where to learn this world is a tough place but you can count on your elders. This is the way. Many stories are out here where the young adults act abusively to themselves because they do not feel worthy of normal relationships or even a normal life. Self-harm is no joke, people. How to avoid it? Be there for your kid! Not just for an Instagram post but for a lifetime.

Iron, Dog and Chevalier de Saint-Georges

Sometimes it's hard to wake up early and start your day. My new routine on these days is to think of how madly The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson trains! Iron Man for sure. Not to injure me while turning from one side to the other in the bed was a challenge this morning but ran into a pic of Dwayne all buffed up, and was like 'Hell yeah, I'm getting out!'. I'm the kind of person who needs serious daily motivation to train. Well, The Rock /I can do the eyebrow-thing too/ is one of them.

A stranger doggie came around my rental flat this morning, and of course, I opened the door for him, and he came in like home. I was so happy to meet this furry buddy, yet he had an owner who just got lost in the building. I wish you all a funny encounter like this! Made my morning, clearly.

Marie Antoinette was an interesting historical figure. I like movies about people who existed and made an impact on the now. I want to see a movie about the short but bright life of Aaliyah, one of my favorite singers of all time!

Stormy-rainy day ahead, yet I have a new place to discover! Stay tuned on my YouTube channel (subscribe and like, if you may)!

Rockaway, Crazy Neighbors, and a Six-Pack

Currently residing in Budapest, Hungary. I have always been a wanderer, traveled like whenever - wherever, relocated lots, had worked abroad. I believe I was built this way. As I see myself - I am an 'Internationalist'. What does this mean? Well, I am highly focused on new experiences, I'm always looking for travel opportunities, I'm creative and dynamic, yet I keep the balance between interaction and voluntary isolation. I need my meditation time when I can talk to God. I communicate and collaborate naturally, I can make a connection easily with each and every person I meet. I'm future-oriented, like always keeping an eye open. Big picture thinking is my way.

I'm 100%ly sure that I'm not alone in 'neighbor wars', yet it's getting less and less satisfying. This is 'Hellmouth'. No joke, literally. I think my faith kept me going but now I reached the point of relocation, seriously. I don't know for sure that it's only this pandemic that got my neighbors crazy, or they had that in them previously. I prefer straight communication, I'm not willing to get into this passive-aggressive 'game' of theirs. Intelligence and humanity start with how you handle situations like these. I believe I am doing the very best I can.

Always dreamed of having a six-pack, yet it's not happening. I got muscular with all the swimming and rowing sessions in Lake Balaton, yet I want my physique to transform a little more at the tummy area. Not eating bakery and pizza helps a LOT! .) Being a vegetarian/vegan is a challenge when it comes to combining the menu ideas. Yet, I love a good challenge!

Night out in Budapest

Yup, here I am again, back to my hometown, Budapest. We are super famous in Hollywood movies, which is always fun to recognize the favorite streets and buildings from the angle of sweet Scarlett's shoulder. Many of my beloved actors shot here. Can not wait to work with them again on something full of action and adventures! Hopefully not just as an extra next time! .)

Tonight I am going out and about to see how it has changed in a month while I was away at Lake Balaton /voluntary solitude - screenwriting and rowing challenge/. I have started a YouTube channel /Kata The Nomad/ where I'm trying my wings to see what works and what does not. Give me comments, ideas, messages what to shoot, and what topic you'd listen to!

Checked out the Covid-numbers in Hungary, no big changes, looking calm /not before the storm - I pray/. I miss traveling abroad. I want to discover and explore new places but I guess I am going to wait for better timing or chance. Meanwhile, I am gathering all the information I am going to need.

Do you watch the Olympics? I have to admit I was shut out from the big world news for a month, so going to update myself on that too.

Screenwriting is going well, always getting new winds and waves of inspiration! Other duty works are on the way too, this August.

Have a great week everyone!

Stormy Lecture and shame on Disney

Here at Lake Balaton, the storms are no joke. All the thunder and all the lightning force you to remember how small you actually are. Mother Nature is much stronger than any human being. For me, it was humbling again to experience such a huge storm. Might be strange to hear but at a moment /or at those moments/ when you feel like you could die, it reminds you of what is truly important. Faith is my superpower, like knowing for sure that God is always beside me. Lecturing me? Of course. Loving me? Never stopped. Pushing me forward? Grateful for it.

As you must have noticed, I adore and respect Scarlett Johansson. She is not only smart and gorgeous but brave enough to speak up when it's necessary. I am hereby supporting her lawsuit against Disney, and have to say I'm disappointed to learn how the studio has been treating her and the 'Black Widow' movie. Hats off for the 'Women In Film, ReFrame, Time's Up' joint statement.

Sunday should be a fun day, so don't get too close to the clouds of others' negativity!

'Happier Than Ever' - can not wait to be able to say that. When were you the happiest? Is it still before you? Never give up! Everything falls into place at the right time, in the right place. Just keep going! Human life is full of surprises, that is a fact.

Another journey awaits me, soon leaving Lake Balaton for a while.
