I Wanna Be Your Dog - 70s

Goodbye November, this is your last chance to show me your pretty autumn-colored face! I loved you while you were here. Come back next year if you can still manage! ,, Let there be carnage! " - of the leaves and sand. Have fun while sleeping into it! The sun is higher than the clouds, always.

The Stooges. I love this song (in the title), gets me into the mood of creating art. Decaf coffee-sipping from the lama-figured gift cup. Life is getting forward. Material music can be at my assistance sometimes. Writers can't do anything else but write. Each and every day. I secretly think that I was a delayed baby, supposed to be born in the sweet sexy savage 70s! So many people I was about to meet in person, not just in picture and sound.

I love surprises and God knows this. I think He is up to get me some.

To forgive is a natural act for me. I don't plan it, nor calculate it - it just happens. When I'm ready to put the burden on remembering the bad stuff and things down. Human life is shorter than we can imagine. Real Love should be the priority, to do what you came here to do, to be where you are expected. Life always moves forward, no rewind is necessary. You can feel the real deal when it happens. Just a matter of time. Hopefully, not too late you make the move.

Heroes are born, not made. You know you are one of them. Don't be afraid, I am here to help you all along the way. Take my hand! I'm the most cheerful and witty person on the land! :D

Tears for Fears - Everybody wants to rule the world. Isn't that so?

What's your December Wish? What are this 'most wonderful time of the year' bringing to you and your beloved ones? Never too old to wish for something your heart desires. Never too old to pray and start a conversation with God. He is most definitely waiting on everyone.

Music is one of the keys to a human's heart and soul. If we are on the same page on that - things are going to work out. .)

your blondie, the most cheerful soul ever came down to Earth,

The True Bruce Lee Legacy

Bruce Lee - there is no human on this planet Earth who doesn't know who he is. Whether you are a martial arts or Asian lifestyle /health, spirituality & philosophy/ fan, you know him very well. Bruce Lee taught us so many things, not just self-defense techniques, nor jeet kune do, The Little Dragon /Xiaolong/ set an example of how to live this human life consciously. He was there, he had an extremely determined mind and will. His influence is still here, he has a huge impact on any kind of combat. But not just that. The way he talked about living and how our mindset should be is also exemplary. 

Today is special for me and I believe in the protecting energy he is sending even now. Bruce Lee should have been here, at age 81, teaching us and building modern popular culture, directing movies, giving interviews, and writing books. Bruce Lee is one of the most important people of the 20th century and even the 21st, I'd say. I like the way he lived, how he acted, how he spoke and smiled. I miss him, not just because I grew up watching him, but because I wanted to impress him, to make him proud of how far I've got. He was one of my very first idols, the main reason I became strong.

The True Bruce Lee Legacy is living the way he taught us, giving the path on to others for free, keeping his memory alive because of pure love for him. To me, Bruce Lee is not just a person, he is a guardian, he is the perfect master, he is also gentle and loving.

Today I warn you, I might get emotional for this reason - the birthday of Bruce Lee. He went away too fast before he could change this world for the better. He did turn it around though, yet he could do much more. I am going to remember him for who he was to me and for who is is still for all of us.

your tiny dragon,

Bite Me If You Dare

You have no idea how many people tried to put me down for good. None of them has ever succeeded. I'm not afraid to die alone, been prepared for it even before I was born to this role. They are all the same lame-ass losers who want to get attention from hurting another one. Well, I don't have to live a life you understand. That's not an accident that I have tattooed 'outcast' on me. The warning is there you just have to be able to read. Not even between the lines, I don't think that high of you. None of you out there, you bittersweet and mean ordinary people.

As a little kid I've felt this world is not my home, nor is it a place I'd want to call my home. I've always been different than the rest around me and always have been mocked and bullied because of that. I have learned to do things by myself and count on myself only when the trouble got too close. Of course, God has always been there with me but we had our fights. I needed to grow much older and experienced to truly be grateful for God's grace and mercy upon me. Now we are back on friendly terms again. 

I'm going to keep punching /love you, dear chief, dearest Sly/. There's a reason behind everything, so all I have to do is find that reason. I'm still here which means I have things to do. God still wants to use His favorite tool. Go ahead, sweet Friend, I am ready. More than ready. Now is the time. Use me for what you have planned. You know how strong I got and how badly I wanted to go further and survive all that crap. I did. Now let the game begin!

I know how life is treating you all, talking to fellow outcasts and artists. Yet, you have to keep going! Before we die alone, before our time will come - we have to get our things done. 

your ever cheerful and determined soul,

Led Zeppelinized Thanksgiving 2021

What am I thankful for today /or any other day, for that matter/? 

Led Zeppelin is most definitely one of them. Love their raw & catchy sound and simple & true lyrics! They put my busy mind at ease today /or any other day/. I feel like dropped back into the 70s! Thank God for this. I can totally get them. JPJ is one of my idols as a bass player deep inside. Once I tried to learn guitar tabs and rock on with my masters, my Ibanez GSR 180 BS was a dream, heart got broken when I decided to sell it to a real El Mariachi. Had to admit to myself that I'm not a godsend when it comes to music /yet, it won't ever stop me from trying/. I like singing to myself and sometimes with family or friends. Maybe one day a duet partner comes or a band forms and grabs me by my soul-balls! Wish me luck on that!

Counting the days back till I can see Colin Farrell as the Penguin in the new Batman. Not going to repeat me /find it in one of the previous posts/ but this is the only reason why I'm going to watch this upcoming Bruce Wayne story. My one and only Batman remain Christian Bale. Sorry, not sorry. Hats off for what he has done with the role.

To write about the soul food you came here for - Thanksgiving should be on each and every day. Seriously. It can boost your mood to think and meditate on those people or achievements you are thankful for. Gratitude keeps us sane and mentally healthy. To know our rights but to do our duties. To say 'thank you' and never forget that nothing is for free and nothing goes unnoticed. Being kind is always better than acting cool. Nevertheless, kindness is the most epic awesome.

Thank God for saving me /I hope and believe God knows why He keeps me around/ as healthy as I've always been. I'm thankful for my lessons, my mistakes, and my will. Thank God for the huge amount of love and hate I've experienced, and for accepting me as a team member of the light. I'm grateful for each and every journey, trip, adventure, and for those which are about to happen. Thank God for standing by me whatever - wherever - whenever. I'm thankful for a few material things like decaf coffee and rock music, books and pizza, movies and meeting new people, long walks and starry nights, sunsets and the full moon, autumn colors and spring flowers, winter snow, and summer heat. Love, love, love this role in this human life. Thank God.

Ice Road and HBC

Movies, movies, and more movies. I got the accusation a lot of watching too many films then I told the judge and jury what is my profession, so they remain silent. Time flies anyway, you can't get it back. Those hours spent wondering what your life could have been - are gone. But if you used the lessons well - still gone but with a strengthen pill. I want to see it this way - movies have a purpose whether it's just to entertain or to teach and get the unheard voices louder. It is a powerful medium whether you like it or not - it's a fact.

The Ice Road - one of my newest favorite movies. I knew the style looked/sounded familiar! It is a work of thrilling art by Jonathan Hensleigh! Yup, the man is responsible for many of my oldtimer favorites like JUMANJI, The Punisher, Armageddon, The Saint, Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds! Thank God for the action/adventure genre! We were born with it, as simple as that. My kind of Laurence plays also in it but he is a Fishburne, not an Olivier. Good old Liam Neeson acts the way he does best - as a protector of justice /and a brother/. I officially recommend you to watch it! Perfect to forget this whole pandemic crap! Thank you all cast and crew!

What is that HBC? My dear adored and brilliantly genius Helena Bonham Carter! Not afraid to say I love this lady. The way she acts is beyond words. Of course, as a natural-born writer, I have to try to describe how the roles come alive under her spell. Helena, my darling, if you ever get to read this /or anything from me/ I am more than ready to write a movie or a play for you. Sweet Lady Jane, Lucy Honeychurch, Kate Croy, bloody Marla Singer (!) & Emily the Corpse Bride (!), Bellatrix Lestrange, Queen Elizabeth, Red Queen, Mrs.Lovett, Edith New, Mrs.Potter (!), Eleanor Riese, Ophelia, Miss Havisham, Elizabeth Taylor, just a few that came right up in my mind.

Have your mind at ease and keep your laughter warm!

your ever cheerful soul,

Kata

Relax and Do It

Extreme times - extreme measures. Or is that so? I find it highly peaceful to walk around the city at night /not to mention my rumbles around any kind of Mother Nature in the daytime/. Both the body and the mind need to be on the move. The driving spirit - the soul - urges us to get up and just go. Who said that relaxing can only be done on the couch? Too many mind causes too many troubles. Try not to spend your whole human life fixing the problems where there are not really any!

Relaxing can be tough when you set your standards too high. You are human which means there are going to be things and people you simply can not get close to. Not all hearts are true and not all minds are open. Your gut can tell you.

Do what you came down to planet Earth to do! Do the thing that only you can do! Life sucks if you keep on waiting and waiting and waiting a little more. What if there won't be another tomorrow? Just think about that for a tiny second. Your body hurts /talking to the fellow 30s and older, not you - you bloody 20s, get off of my blog, it is not meant for babies!/, your heart aches, your mind is twisted, there won't be a better time to do anything than the NOW!

Keep the faith, let the fun roll with the rock!

your ever cheerful soul friend,

WWR and EURAXESS

Sending out a quick note on where you can turn to find a job that can be ANYWHERE in this world. What's it called? Remote work. Home office. Online job hunt. There are many websites you can check out but these two are professional: weworkremotely.com & euraxess.ec.europa.eu ! They both deserve the title of a daily blog post.

Monday it is and my sweet angel Scarlett Ingrid Johansson has turned 37 today /was about time to get where I am, dear fellow 1984-woman/! I wrote about her in the latest post too, so you might think I have no other topic but she deserves to be mentioned this much. I tell you why. She got me lost in translation a couple of times, while she got under my skin. Lucy told me she's with Don Jon but that's not our marriage story. Her iron man is different now, they are living on the island. I sent her a JoJo Rabbit to the match point but a black widow has returned the package.

I hope the weather won't go on without sunshine because that's the only essential material thing for me to survive all that's going on here, in this rental hell of a flat. People have gone wild and I don't think only this pandemic is there to blame. Selfish and aggressive, looking for a chance to fight with anyone who stands up against. This is crazy and nobody is going to help. We all better get ready to defend ourselves the ways we can. Legally, verbally, physically. I believe in diplomacy and praying to God to awaken others' sense of compassion. I do my best not to choose any kind of violence which only the animals should do. Yet, if attacked then luckily I know how to react and defend myself and my loved ones.

I wish you all a better week than the last one was!

Full Moon - Last Day of Kartik

Figured out just now that the post I wrote on the train yesterday did not make it to be published online. As we all know - 'better late than never' so I put it out a few seconds ago which means you all can double the fun with today's official post! .)

Full Moon has different effects on all of us, I happened to be mesmerized by it. I believe in magic, so any phenomenon caused by it can fuel my fantasy which means I sit down to write. Not always literally because I am about to show you in this beautiful, last autumn month, November, that I can write anywhere and in any kind of position. Trust me, going to be one fun ride! Stay tuned on my @katathewriter Instagram page!

Not a secret that I adore Scarlett Johansson. She is a smart, funny, kind, generous, gorgeous woman with an amazingly dedicated presence on screen. I can not wait for her next project! It's a shame /on me/ that we haven't met here, in Budapest, while she was filming scenes for her mega-hit Black Widow. Yet, I won't give up! There's going to be a perfect place and time, with the right reason to meet up. Respect and love for the angel. 

Wish me luck today too, as I am rewarded with the appearance of a childhood girlfriend from Dublin, Ireland! We haven't seen /nor spoken to/ each other for quite some time now! Nothing bad happened, it was just human life and its paths. But today, we are having an even closer mindset than before, and our professions are somehow encountered! So much fun ahead!

your ever well-wisher soul friend,

Sunny Chiba, ok Tata - from yesterday

Another great adventure on the good old train! I love traveling with literally anything that moves forward. But to be frank, trains still have a special place in my life. My sweet Grandparents /Mom's side/ used to live right next to the tracks, and the sound of the wagons kept me sleeping. /Well, I have never been an ordinary kid./

The reason why I can't stay at one place for too long is that human life is short and I have so much more to see and share, and I must be ready when my time comes. Funny thing to say when you are just 37? I believe not. Nobody knows when their last day arrives. You can't delay it, nor hurry it up.

This is a sunny Thursday and I am going to Tata where I spent about half of my childhood. I've always been happy there, gone on adventures alone, with my little brother, or with my grandparents. Simple living, high thinking - as Srīla Prabhupāda used to teach us. I try to make the best of the rest, meaning: to max out 2021, and my role in this lifetime.

I asked you all about dreams but got no comment /yet/ on it. I think what and who we are dreaming of means something. We can decide when we wake up to go after their messages or let them be. I like a good old mystery, so for me remembering my nightly visions has a potential. My heart tries to help me on getting ready.

I am going to pray for this pandemic to go away as fast as it came. I'm good at accepting changes, putting up with new situations, being in uncomfortable places, yet I feel a little tired. Not just because of COVID-19 but all the side effects. People are so aggressive and selfish and hysterical lately. I don't know how much I am able to take. God knows.

To end again with something positive, I launched my writer & screenwriter Instagram page: @katathewriter and going to post my professional stuff and thangs on it. Stay tuned! The other remains for photography: @katathenomad so check and follow that too!

Heartfelt Tribute in Honor of the New Era

Everything changes, thank God for that. Not a single day is like the other before /or after/. Decisions keep the world running. Why am I writing about the New Era? Because I believe the hardship is soon going to be over for all of us /at least for those who were willing to evolve, learn, and keep going/. Human life is a rare gift as you may already read about it /because I've always been a reminder of that/. 

The magical world of a writer opens today /later on Instagram at @katathenomad the news will spread, so stay tuned/. Books can save lives, that is a fact. Depending on the book, that is another. One must be careful what to read because that is going to play a huge part in his/her reality. The mind is a strange thing. Just a tool of material nature, yet if we do not tame it then hard days are ahead. The mind does not live without the soul, nor should it control anything. 

New Era brings new winds, new dreams, new goals - or simply a lot stronger will to stay on the path. My heart got tired of all the bullsh*t of this world /especially nowadays when this COVID-19 pandemic is happening, the governments and the scientists are not giving clear answers to straight questions/, yet I have always known what my duties are here. I refuse to give in. I'm a fighter, a warrior, I have faith in God's plan - whatever, whenever, wherever He wants me to do I will.

To end this post with a positive vibe - I wish all of you the best days of 2021! Have faith /I can't imagine my life otherwise/ and things are going to turn into wonders! Keep going forward, even if it's the hardest thing to do /especially if it is like that/! Use what God has given to you! Spread love and light! Open your eyes and see what's meant to be only for you!

Lethal Weapon 5

I had to write this down to keep it alive! Lethal Weapon 5!!! Do you hear me, people?! It's going to happen! Mel Gibson is about to sit in the directors' chair, aye! Martin Riggs is back in the game! Sorry not sorry, I literally grew up with the duo, Riggs and Murtaugh, they were our favorite heroes with my little brother! We learned the whole dialogue of each movie! Watched it about a hundred times! Man, I need to be picked for any kind of work in this upcoming project! C'mon!

Autumn Awakening - is there anything like this? Well, there should be. This season is still here and has so much to offer if we are open to it. Dreams are material illusions, memories from past lives, or just the 'data processing' of our daily stuff and things? What do you think your dreams are? Are they representing your deepest fears and desires? Are they made of the energy which keeps coming back to you? Everybody has a different belief and answer to this. I want to hear yours.

Harry Potter has given so much already to many of us. A great story of magic - the magic of true love as a friend, a parent, a lover, a teacher, even an enemy. I miss that excitement of going to the movies for the chance to put my soul at ease. Even if only for a couple of hours. We can not repay Joanne Kathleen Rowling back. Hats off.

Have sooo many duties today, now off to start! Great day to everyone!

Know You Better

What would you say in a 'know you better' short video /online job application/ where you have specific orders and questions about yourself, yet you also have to improvise a little?

Since the pandemic has started we all had to change our ways and find treasures in different places. Being available online is one of them. Presenting yourself online is another.

We are all unique and special parts of the universe, we have material and spiritual duties too. Having a job and taking responsibility for our lives is just one of them. A very important one. 

Being in the position of an artist I've always been ready to live like this. Every day brings something new and the urge is there to share. The daily selection was born to assist quality. The details were meant to help the picture grow.

To show the real you require knowledge. Knowledge of self - the soul, knowledge of the world - both material and spiritual. It's hard to speak about all of it in 1-3 minutes and to help someone /your future boss/ to get to know you better.

We are constantly searching, being out there looking for the next lesson, task, adventure, journey. A creative and courageous person like me won't ever back down. This world needs assistance with moving forward. Art is one of the greatest tools for that. Social media can totally play its part.

Behind-the-scenes Tour

What no one has ever told you about an artist's life.

We face judgement and criticism all the time. Our families become sceptic about our talent and success like on a daily/weekly/monthly basis - if we let them meet us that often, after a while. We get tired of the ordinary bullshaft of ordinary people. We want to quit (every other day) but we can't give up what we were born with. We see this world (and the other) with different eyes and we refuse to stop being curious. We go into that 'danger zone' even if all the odds are against us. We try anything and everything new to feel alive again. We want to share the bloody truth with everyone, we are here to preach and we need an audience. We love life but we are not afraid of death because we have already lived like 10 lifetimes. 

Most importantly, we are the lucky ones. We do believe in fairies and we had our dance with the devil. We came back from afar and yet, we are always ready to go on an adventure again. We have faith even when everything seems to go against us. We encourage others while bleeding inside. We seem okay on the surface but we are battling demons on the inside, like constantly. We are the rare species you are killing for your own comfort of daily boredom. We came to this planet Earth to shake it up, yet you are trying to tie us up with your attachments. We were born to be free and no love is strong enough to withstand that.

We are the ones you all would die without, yet you always manage to put us down with your comments. God has His ways for all of us and not everybody was meant to deal with the magic of art. I believe in the appreciation of each and every talent, I do support my fellow artists because I am aware of how it feels when nobody is there. You are one of a kind and you should know that even in the darkest moments. Never giving up is the true strength, we pay the price but we get so much in return. We can walk tall again after each fall. Never forget, we are the lucky ones!

Stomach Coordinates in Black

I thought the hardship was over with the eyelid. Nah, how naive I still can be. My stomach - all of a sudden - has decided to torture me for over 3 hours. /vomiting, spasms, cold shivers, dizziness, etc./ Don't you worry, this is the day after, and I am feeling much better, drinking water and eating potatoes. It's not COVID, but for sure some virus or bacteria got into my system. I am extremely 'lucky' /God's blessing/ that even the worst kind of sickness stays with me only for a day. Let's knock that 3 on wood with my left for keeping it this way!

'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' is coming. As a 1984 kid, I can highly relate to the excitement waiting for it! Not just because of the original characters' return but the world of the unseen! In the spiritual world, 'upside-down world', all the supernatural creatures are there for the taking. Just kidding but curious about what can be added to the picture.

Had so many great festivals lately, all spiritual and fun - sadly online. I am praying for the change because being there with the like-minded is essential for the living.

What I want to say at last is this: please take it very seriously that each day is a gift, use it wisely and have fun! Human life is meant to be meaningful. We are all good at something, we all can share it with the rest of the world. Please, dear buddies, go out and help others! Help them with the thing only you are gifted with!

Eye Don't Mind

Whenever any physical obstacles appear /pain, wound, ache, etc./ I think about the spiritual cause first. Some say there is not always one but at least a warning as I believe. Something came up that I did not pay enough attention to. It can be both spiritual and material.

My left upper eyelid got bunged up for some reason. I wore a KN95 mask on Saturday evening for the first time and it didn't feel comfortable, I had an instant bodily warning which I didn't listen to fast enough to prevent my poor eyelid from getting hurt badly.

I am using 100% rose water and warm water to wash it, as many times as it feels like it. Try to make it rest also which is hard when all my work and service is online ergo using a notebook or a laptop for many hours per day.

Spiritually I had a lack of my daily sadhana these days, so it tries to guide me back to chanting on the Japa beads, which can be perfectly done by closed eyes.

My eyes are fine, thank you. Just the eyelid got hurt but it can distract you from doing anything /the pain and the different vision/.

I don't mind - my mantra today. Wrote it as 'eye don't mind' because the mind gets scared by a physical transformation, but an eye is just an eye, not the mind. What needs to be healed first is the mind. Eyelids know perfectly how to heal themselves, I can only assist them with that.

Wish me a fast recovery as I have tons of writings to do! :)

Diwali (Deepavali) 2021

What Diwali (Deepavali) means to me is more than just the 'Festival of Lights'. It is the power of goodness, the strength of knowledge, the mercy of God. The Vedic culture offers so much through even just lighting a lamp. It still amazes me how pure their devotion is. We all can learn from that. Faith is there for the taking, or better to say - the awakening. You can only win by letting the spiritual life in.

As my dear Guru Maharaj HH Bhakti Rasamrita Swami said:

,,(...)the torchlight of knowledge has to be lit in our heart."

To become truly dedicated and surrendered is not an easy path but nothing goes smoothly which is worth the journey.

I have only good wishes for you all, happiness through faith, prosperity, dreams of faith & life coming true! Let me say: may your Diwali be filled with heartwarming smiles and hugs, lamps and lights of love, sweets, and most importantly: blessings!

May today's magical Deepavali help you shine brighter in life!

I have high hopes of this 'Festival of Lights' bringing peace and more meaning to your lives! Keep going forward, have faith in God's plan!

Morbius Theater Wednesday

Never say no to anything new, anything kicking you out of your comfort zone, anything challenging, anything trying your limits! It's best when it hurts a little, just as much to move you to the next level, hopefully, an upper one. We are all here for the ride, for the lessons to learn. Surprises come when you least expect them - that's why they are called that way. Trust me on this, be there and observe!

Antiheroes are not always bad. They are meant to be examples of what can one transform into. They are usually much more determined than the heroes. Why? Because they have gone through a lot. A lot more, a lot worse, a lot heavier than any other being in the story. Catchy or not, but some individuals tend to use what's given for their own purposes, well, primarily.

Tonight I am going to the theater. It was pretty long ago when I attended. Curiosity never dies in me. This one is a comedy which is very well needed nowadays. I am carving it too. Let's see what can come out of it, especially because my dear aunty and uncle are playing both in it! Aye! A happy pirate rooting for them here!

Kartik month is still on, so light a lamp at night and pray for the bright!

Sustainable November

November it is. Still material, yet I can't go on without noticing how fast time flies. Autumn rain is here, we are all getting chilly. Masks are back on when we travel with public transportation, or when we go to the theatre. I don't mind wearing them, in fact, I can create great stories in my mind like being a bandit, or a ninja. Thoughts have the power to turn things around. Not to mention the natural oil perfume /autumn spices and herbs/ I'm using to boost my immune system, and which I can smell all along the way thanks to the mask. Remember the perspective, dear folks!

Staying healthy means the mental part too. How can you take good care of yourself? Talk to God and then listen! This is the way. Mantra meditation, yoga meditation, musical meditation, instrumental meditation, and so many more. Your call: which helps you the most effective. Personalities may vary but human life needs the balance between the soul - mind - body.

Almost at the end of 2021. I have high hopes of relocation in the two remaining months. Please, wish me luck on this one! I need this change to be totally focused. The spiritual path requires a certain background for me, which has always been involved with solitude and Mother Nature.

2 years of sobriety today. Not that I was an alcoholic, nor a real addict. I was just not strong enough to say 'no' on occasions and stand alone in the family and amongst the friends. Now I am. I feel super healthy and happy without the booze. If you have any thoughts or questions on it, feel free to comment below! I am here to help and answer.
