Feeling like in a movie

April 27, 2021 By Bobby Voicu

Sunday. London. Rain. Bar on the street level. Sitting at a table next to the window, with hot tea in front of me. Looking outside to people walking. Next to me, Cambridge Theater, with a big billboard presenting Chicago – The Musical. Music in the bar: John Lennon – Imagine.

I feel like I am in a movie. What’s next?

2021 update: I wrote the text above in 2008 to the day (Apr 27th, 2008). It was my first time in London and, since then, I visited the city often enough to develop a love/hate relationship with it. But in 2008 it genuinely felt like I was in a movie and that big things were waiting to happen. And they were. I was there for my training with Yahoo!, the company that employed me as their representative for Romania for a year. And it was my first job in a corporation, so I genuinely didn;t know what to expect.

I miss that feeling. One of the places I always felt like being in a movie and waiting for things to happen was a hotel pub in Dublin. Ireland. I went there often during my MavenHut years and I loved the feeling I had in the afternoon or evening when I could relax and enjoy a soup or a hot tea and people watch. And think of the big things that were to come.

Why I miss it? Of course, I miss travel. I miss seeing different people and hearing different languages. And I also miss thinking about the big things to happen, in a bar, at the street level, with a hot tea in front of me.

Oh, and the hotel in Dublin? Grand Canal. The pub: Gasworks Bar. Nothing amazing. But it didn’t matter for me. And their soup with soda bread was amazing.

My first post

May 21, 2007 By Bobby Voicu

On the new blog, obviously.

I was never good at writing first posts, but I have to. I read somewhere that the first post is important in order to set the tone for the entire blog and, why not, set some targets to achieve for myself.

As such, I would like my blog to be as informative as Darren Rowse’s Problogger, as light hearted as Shoemoney‘s, as succesful as John Chow‘s, as open about my projects as Tyler Cruz‘s and as funny as I can be (which is not much).

That’s about it for the first post. Stick around to see how’s it working in the end.
