Actually, I’d been thinking to run a marathon for a while now. I kinda postponed it all of the years before, but this year Team Bite offered an opportunity and I couldn’t resist.

Even though I chose the 5k, I’m still happy to be a part of the crowd that’s running through the city, happy to wear the official number and receive the medal at Finish.

Oh yeah, and did I mention Team Bite invited me and my Boo over for a river-cruise-slash-picnic? Way worth it.

Pondering for a longer run next year.

While being a die-hard hip-hop head, it just wasn’t possible not to fall in love with French hip-hop.

I bumped Skyrock whenever possible, ripped off radio shows to mini discs (collection of which I still possess and play occasionally around the crib).

Now my girl doesn’t love how French sounds (is it cause she learnin Italian? lol), so I ain’t listened to no fresh talent from Paris/Marseille/Nantes in a long-ass minute..

But today.. The morning was so frenchy.. No, I ain’t have no croissants for breakfast lol. Just listened to Skyrock on my laptop while working.

And you know what? I discovered a new cut by a French rapper called Booba – Ma Couleur (aka My Color). Now bumpin it all day long!

Regardless if you’re down with hip-hop or not, you should hear this song, I tell ya.

Lyrics deep too.

Enjoy.

Booba – Ma Couleur

I keep hearing bout how Riga Talk was awesome and I should blog more frequently. This is real inspiring, so.. Call it a come back.

Props to my die-hard readers, and you know I bounced back before. This time ain’t no different. Picture me bloggin’.

Since I’m down with Latvia’s Silicon Valley giants, Capital Inc., lots of stuff had been popping. The Summer season was quicker than ever – I attended variuos seminars & trainings, both on the IT&T Industry and on Communications.

Including the last one – my amazing trip to Munich and Frankfurt for the Digital Storytelling workshop and the Untold Stories conference.

Celebrated my Born Day in Bavaria. Oktoberfest style. Unforgettable experience, I tell ya.

What else, let me see. Twitter is ruling the everyday life.

Like it’s ‘posed to.

Prolly a reason this blog is lacking attention from my side.

But like I said, thanks y’all for noticing and for requesting a come-back, lol. I’ma try not to fail on this one.

Anyway.The twaily twonderings around made me twumble upon such thing as an Earth Hour. I didn’t tell you earlier as I was sick – I put the banner on my site though (it’s up until the late March).

So what’s it all about? The climate change.

Global problems like that are usually far from regular people, but the Earth Hour is an opportunity for us to show – that we care about our planet. Or not.

It’s like global election. Your vote – is your light switch. Switch it off for one hour to Vote Earth, and live it on to vote global warming and die slow.

I am definitely plugging out all of my electrical equipment and shutting down lights around the house. Been always standing tall for the green planet, clean environment, reducing carbon emissions, all of that stuff!! So I am surely voting Earth and urging you to do so! March 28, 2009, 8:30-9:30 p.RSVP.

By the way, it’s real cool to see the Pasaules Dabas Fonds – Latvian partners of WWF, the global conservation organization, actively propelling the local movement for the Earth Hour. Including spreading the word on the aforementioned Twitter.

As I am of Orthodox religion, the holy mystery took place in one of Riga’s Orthodox churches – Holy Trinity Church of Pardaugava. It’s actually the only place in the city with Baptistery separated from the Church itself in another small building. The process went on there and was guided by a priest Sergiy from The Church of Holy and Right-believing Alexander Nevsky – the church I was baptized at.

What I’d like to share is that it’s such a wonderful feeling of becoming a Godfather. I recognize the responsibility and my role in spiritual upbringing of Lil’ Gleb, who is just 2 and a half months young. I totally see myself as a mentor for his personal development. And together with his Godmother Anna, for the boy’s Christian education and knowledge of good Orthodox traditions. So much thanks go out to Olegus and Marina for providing this amazing opportunity and entrusting this important task.

Kļūstot par krusttēvu..

Šo BarCamp nedēļas nogali pavadīju vairāk tāda garīgā noskaņā, nekā citādi tehniskā, gīkiskā vai tam līdzīgā. Daži no jums zin no maniem tvītiem, ka es taisos kļūt par krustvecāku šosestdien. Kristīju nesen piedzimušo puiku skaistā krievu vārdā Gļebs – otru dēlu laimīgajam pārītim, kas sastāv no mana labākā drauga, Jūrskolas rotas biedra/kolēģa Oļega un viņa sievas Marinas.

Par cik esmu pareizticīgs, tad kristības notika vienā no Rīgas pareizticīgajām baznīcām – Svētās Trijādības Pārdaugavas baznīcā. Šī ir vienīgā vieta pilsētā, kur ir atsevišķa telpa kristībām – baptistērijs, kas ir atdalīts no baznīcas un atrodas blakus mājiņā. Tajā arī notika process, un vadīja to priesteris Sergijs no Svētā labticīgā lielkņaza Ņevas Aleksandra baznīcas – kur kristīja mani pašu.

Tas, ar ko es gribētu padalīties – ir šīs brīnišķīgas sajūtas, kļūstot par krusttēvu. Es apzinos atbildību un savu lomu mazā Gļeba, kuram ir tikai 2 ar pusi mēneši, garīgā audzināšanā. Es pilnībā redzu sevi, kā viņa personīgās izaugsmes mentoru. Un, kopā ar viņa krustmāti Annu, kā atbildīgu par puikas kristīgo izglītību un labām pareizticīgām tradīcijām. Milzīgs paldies Oļegam un Marinai par to, ka sniedzat šo jauku izdevību un ka uzticat šo svarīgu uzdevumu.

Становясь крёстным отцом..

Этот БарКемповский уик-энд был для меня больше таким духовным, чем какого-либо рода техничным, гиковским или каким другим. Некоторые из вас уже знали из моих твитов, что я собираюсь стать крёстным родителем в субботу. Крестил новорожденного мальчишку с красивым русским именем Глеб – второго сына счастливой пары, состоящей из моего крепкого друга, однокашника по мореходке/коллеги Олегуса и его жены Марины.

Так как я – православный, то святое таинство крещения проходило в одном из православных храмов Риги – Св. Троицком Задвинском приходе. Это – единственное место в городе со специальным баптистерием (крещальней), находящимся рядом со зданием храма. Процесс там и проходил, и совершал его батюшка Сергий – священник из Храма святого благоверного великого князя Александра Невского – церкви, где как раз крестили меня.

То, чем я хотел бы поделиться – это чувство – такое замечательное чувство становления крёстным отцом. Я осознаю ответственность и свою роль в духовном воспитании маленького Глеба, которому ещё всего 2 с половиной месяца. Полностью вижу себя также и ментором его личного развития. И, вместе с его крёстной мамой Анной, ответственным за христианское образование ребёнка и знание добрых православных традиций. Огромное спасибо, конечно же, Олегусу и Марине за предоставление такой прекрасной возможности и за доверие этой важной задачи.

But the thing is though, what you plant in Spring, is gonna be dead by Fall. You can then dry it and save it for your herbarium or something.

I’m bout to take this love thing to a whole ‘nother level right about now. Sit tight. I’m like Sphere. Getting you the good stuff.

What I’m saying is, love is not a plant! Relationships are not meant to be dead one day! And ain’t no plant out there can claim eternal life, even those bristlecone pines, don’t tell me I’m not right.

That’s why it’s way better to fall in love around this time of the year. Late Fall, early Winter.. Cold, colder, freezing.. Get a picture? Things are preserved better when frozen.

That’s more of a joke though, but as they say.. In every joke there is a grain of.. um.. joke =)

And definitely, definitely, you and I know there must be something (well, a special *somebody*, actually) to make me write such a post. And yes, there is a new feeling in my world currently. And who else but a girl born on Valentine’s Day can spark that, you feel me? ;)

I ain’t saying it’s love.. But it surely gets frozen for a long, long shelf life. Believe it.

A couple words about it though – that’s a personal and business productivity management tool, sorta what I used to call time management. Only that it manages actions, not time. I know it sounds kinda scary when I come up with this type of post while the blog had not been updated in a damn while. Don’t even try to front, I got the blogging thing up in the GTD too.

While slowly falling in love and becoming a fan of David Allen’s technology, I also managed to land me a new job which I been craving for some time now. And it looks like there will be a whole bunch of way more theories to dig in the nearest future, as I’m teaming up with Vain & Partners, the gurus of this type of ish.

And like I said, don’t front. RigaTalk’s around.
