When heard about the next release of the movie based on John Green's next book Paper Town, I hurried up to read the book that I already had and be ready for the movie. The Fault in Our Stars was very good and I had some expectations from this one either, but Paper Town was in some level lower both in the story line and in the message it reveals. The book is in John's style as usual - teen book with a proper message. But the message in this book is very tiny in comparison with the TFIOS.

Banana the Writer.
Japan is one of the countries in my "To Visit" list, especially in the "Sakura Sakura" (Cherry blossoms, Cherry blossoms) season. I am in love with this time in Japan. As a person living in the country located in Europe but with Eastern traditions, Japanese people always seemed to me somehow cold till their movies or my fav cartoon Sailor Moon. But in all the books that I read by Japanese authors there are some kind of coolness that I cannot even express. I see the story line, characters, places - all in pale colors as I imagine them through pages. After reading Murakami's Norwegian Wood I watched movie and had the same feeling.
Recently I finished Banana Yoshimoto's novel Kitchen. One of my friends recommended it and I loved it from the first pages. But still all in pale colors.

Why Martin, why?
Martin Eden is one of the most influential characters in the World Literature. I will put all about this character aside except that why he committed suicide? A person who is doing all his best, even more than his best in order to achieve his goals. A person is bearing all the rigid conditions of life. A person is developing his mind and broads his outlook. A person who begins to collect the fruit of his all sufferings. A person is getting known. A person who is famous now. And what? He commits suicide!!!
The thing that I deadly want to know is WHY? If Martin was a live person and if I came across to him in the hospital after several minutes of his suicide, I would ask the real reason, not that the world is not for him or other philosophical staffs like that.

SpiritYOUall Bobby Mcferrin
January 10, 2015
The tickets to this Concert was bought 2 month before the date. I was non-jazz person. To be true, I listened couple but was not fan. After this concert I got interested in its history and so on. Yes, now I am jazz-person either :)

Time to listen to Doooon worry be haaappyyy. BUT the song was not sounded as Bobby was presenting his Spirityouall album.
Concert was great! Bobby with his jokes, gestures, talks, daughter Madison, amazing band with cool guitarist was just WOW!!!
Yes, guitarist :)
After the concert when we were waiting for the people to leave the place the musicians came up to the scene to pick their instruments up. Taking the fact that during the concert I was impressed by the guitarist, I was in dilemma whether to ask him for a selfie or not, and told my friend if she would say go for it, I would go. Just needed a push up. And she said "GO!" :D
So, I did. When he came up to me he took his phone in hands and I asked for a selfie. Just for a photo, he asked my name and so on.
After reaching home when I installed our photo in facebook, everyone was like "why you did not take his phone or mail?" So, just imagine my repentance :(
I spent two ours in Google searching for his surname, I knew his name was like Armando/Arman. I even asked the organizators of the Concert for the namelist of the band.
Suddenly I came across with the staff name in one link and saw ARMAND HIRSCH! Do you know what happened???? HE DID NOT HAVE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT!!! I was really pissed off. There was only a page with his name without picture and 31 likers :/
Google helped me again. I found his twitter profile and instagram from there.
So, I posted our photo in IG, followed him from Twitter and see what I got :)
Then :)
Though we did not meet after the talk as it was too late, it was good to experience such situation :)
And, the most loved song of the night - DEVIL WANTS TO KILL. My friend recorded and I uploaded to Youtube.
P.S. As the song is not available in iTunes or in other places, one of my friends cut this and converted to mp3 from Bobby Mcferrin's live concert in Montreal.

Funny Shades of Grey
It was a while that I had "no time" to post anything in my lovely blog. SO, the release of 50 Shades of Grey was a great cause for my new post. Here I want to share some comic fan arts that were made of the main poster of the movie. Here we go:

Ray Bradbury and slightly above 450 degrees Celsius
Recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished
Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and
the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation - Raymond (Ray) Douglas Bradbury died on June 5, 2012, at the
age of 91 after a long illness - how pity! Not his death but the reason of his death. It comes out that after his wife's death in 2003 he was left alone with 4 daughters.
