Hey!

and so.. we have managed to achieve already 23% of our goal!

there is still some time to achieve our Entire goal, please React now!
in first week we managed to 600 zloty
but this week it is only 300..

we still need 3000 zloty more! (750 euro approx)

It does not look good, So I encourage you personally to Act now.
it is only 16 days left now. and I during this time need to go to warsaw, and to UK - where it can be hard to update the project.
Well we set our hopes high in the begining anyways.. coz everybody will say,.. that SOUND RUSH
is too young.
it is too early for them for an album.
they suck or even that they can't play.
But trust Me - not the others.. not the haters.
I know my music, And I listen to fantastic music!
and I know - Sound Rush is one of the music I listen! and to say more - it is just their first album - I dont want to spoiler alert - but in the future it could be a lot lot more music anyways!

so just try, and than we could see - how it would look like? How it will look like if you will act?
how it will - when you won't?

Sound Rush Kickstarter Week 1

Here is the movie about our event - unfortunately I am not able to provide good quality sound from sound rush - that's Why this Event was created!!

For this moment, thanks too charity and gratitude of 11 people, we have managed to achieve 607 złotych (around 150 euro) so far. Pretty Nice :)

However there are only 23 days left...

I wanted to write that I am really thankful for your help and we encourage to help, to rise our fund at least for 1 zloty, or a "fiver" it can help us a lot to achieve our goals and dreams.

If we will not be able to gather all the money we need, they will come back to your personal accounts. risk free :) -so or we will do it.. or you got your money back :)

Also I wanted to write that I ask for help with this event to the local newspapers (gazeta wyborcza, and echo dnia) but there was no response :/ also someone from rockonline.pl did interviewed us, but so far the material is not anywhere. :| this is really hard for me to make it happen on my own. That's why I write to people, who I feel like constantly ignore the subject, and than I will tell them.. hey.. where were you.. and they will be like - "oh so thats why it was happening". and than they will be like - "Oh I am sorry.. I thought its nothing important :/" I am really worried and I do not like this ;/

Anyways, do you think that If they would write about this anywhere it would help anything?

Maybe you have got friends with web sites. I encourage you to give them this small up to date commercial about our project.. just like this one below :) They look really cool, and keep their info upto date:

Here they are you can copy paste as you wish :) :

(just erase space between first < and iframe and it will work fine)

I greet you honestly and I wish a good day!
PS: Thank you for your help :*

(to help us you need to click "wesprzyj Projekt" it will take you to the site where you put the amount, and than click "Dalej" (sorry for not choosing the English available site, I did not quite thought about that when the time was right, I did not thought it does Not have English) however you are than to choose Euro payments and it is totally safe to do :) so don't worry.. as I say.. if we will not succeed - you will got them back, don't worry :)

Sound Rush Time!

Hi Everybody!

I am happy to inform you about first rising fund that I am creating at the moment.

It will be the fund for recording first Demo for Sound Rush Band, alternative rock band from My city.

Why I have decided to help them?

It is just amazing. I met the leader guitarist girl on one of the parties. We immediately started talking about music, and than she started playing. Then I asked her what is she playing on this guitar,( because it was really good)  and I heard that this is only an improvisation. O.o

Than I heard about the band, and than I went to the little concert for free.

I have seen people dancing and playing like on a concert of a huge band. Music is just beautiful. So

As they are 18 to 23 years old only!
And Ala – creates most of the songs on her own. I decided to try to do something about it. Cause it is really real nice.

So stay Tuned! Cause you will hear from me how and where to make a little donation for this first record ( as it will be expensive we cannot fund this on our own)

Stay Tuned!

See you soon!!

Healthy Working Environment Survey Final Update

So I suppose its about to go finish. It is hard for me to believe, but it actually worked out. My mentor said she won't be smoking inside the radio, and since more than a week so far she keeps her word! I am very happy to announce I am not choking of smoke inside the office any more.

Of course this case is still not closed, because of the other people who are also in the radio, and does not seem to care and take proper actions against bad smoke odour in the building, but I think, and hope it is just a matter of small chat.

It was not easy. My mentor was rejecting all the conversations about the no smoking in the radio, so I decided to take another type of action. Generally I engaged strike, which last for 2 all days long. I was very bored at home.. and I said I will come to work only when I will be 100% percent needed in there.

So the morning that it actually happened was on Thursday, I went there - and then we spoke. And my mentor was super cool! She said she wants me in the radio and that she will not smoke in there.

It was almost 2 weeks ago. :)

I am worried though about that, when I will leave this project, nobody will care any more, and my fellows volunteers will be choking with this poison.

Lets hope they will act! and succeed as well!!

Now.. today I saw my mentor holding her cell phone, and then the rolled cigarette in the other hand, she was really, I mean really into her Greek conversation, so I decided to keep an eye, you know?
and you know what I have seen? In a moment she is putting the lighter on.. Man.. i immedietaly reacted! :) so there was no big deal about it.

Anyway.

Why is this such a big problem for me? smoking in the radio?

Greeks apparently seem not to care about the smoking health issues, and does not care about people who does not smoke. Also the ones that are about to quit, or try to quit have very difficult life in here, because nobody respects the law around this matter. I quit smoking one year ago - this was really hard for me to inhale just a bit. Then I really have a bad taste in my mouth, and my brain feels need for this poison again. I need to fight not to smoke again.

This situation is not only in the radio.. street, pubs, taverns - nobody gives a shit.
After talking about this with couple of Greek people - I know only that - that they seem not to believe, or don't know about the serious matter of the smoke bad influence. I mean - smoke.. if you want, but stay away from me OK? I won this war with this bad habit. dont want to see you smoking even.

So, I still have a problem with some night broadcasters, there apparently are some guys which are smoking in the evening, and apparently these brainiacs are not even bothered about opening the window when they smoke. so If I come to the radio 9 o clock in the morning.. it stills smells with this shit after them.

I thought I had a deal - smoking is only allowed for two persons during volunteers duty times (between 9 and 17) under the conditions: it is in a room with console, doors closed, windows open.
It is an extreme exception - because they work in this radio for like 20 years, I like them, they like me so this is a compromise.

This is really hard when they do this - But this prove that our deal is working, they can be happy, and I can have much more clearer air around me and other volunteers during our working hours.

However when someone is not opening the windows.. I start the day with a smoke blast into my brain, lungs and heart which is pretty encouraging to go back home.

So I need to speak with the people who does that.

Why not smoking in the main room?
It is cold, when they smoke inside, the cold air is going INSIDE the room, pushing all the smoke INSIDE the room, open window.. would help ONLY if it would be equally cold, as outside.. this is senseless.

I don't understand, why they can not simply obey the laws? There is a point in this laws and there needs to be question why is this law in EU. Because.. According to WHO statistics
600 000 people each year die because of inhaling second hand smoke
200 000 PETS die because people smoke in their houses. Can you imagine all this kitties and puppies?

this is Poison!

if you want to poison yourself, do it/stay away from me please.
