Who Wants to Live Forever?

sanela — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 11:29:03 +0000

This Cuban man has just turned 111! Have a peek to see how his birthday party looked like. The most fascinating thing, if you ask me, is the fact that he is a smoker and he probably has been all of his life and still, despite that he managed to live to such an old age. At first when you hear something like that, you think – wow, good for him, that would really be great if I could reach at least 90, but then, on the other hand, I’m not really sure if I would be happy living in a world which all of my childhood friends have left long ago, and in a world that changes so rapidly i can’t understand it.

The Best ‘Creepy Old Man Photobomb’ Ever

sanela — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 09:07:21 +0000

The worst thing in being an old man who’s trying to be a part of young people’s lives besides being totally pathetic and ridiculous is that you’ll probably end up ruining someone’s picture by photobombing in it and on top of all that you’ll end up coming off as nothing more than a creepy old man or even a perv! Why do people still do this?

The world’s oldest mom

sanela — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 10:29:00 +0000

In case you taught that in these photos are grandmother and granddaughter, you’re wrong! This is Adriana Iliescu, world’s oldest mom! This Romanian woman gave birth to a little girl (Eliza) when she was 66 years old. She is now 72 years old, and little Eliza is only six. There is no explanation for this medical phenomenon. It is a bit sad when you think about it, because it is most likely Adriana won’t live to see Eliza finishing her school or high school, and most certainly not her going to college.

Postcards from hell

sanela — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 09:49:44 +0000

Have a look at these crazy old postcards bringing us greetings from hell and devil himself! It’s really crazy idea. I don’t know who would by this sort of postcards in the first place and then send them to his friends. What would the card be saying: “Dear friend, have a nice holiday, but remember all your sins!” or “Congratulations on your new promotion and remember how you got there!”? Anyhow, the cards are really creative and original, I have to give them that! Have a look at this unique collection of postcards below, and maybe you’ll find something appropriate for your ex or something like that.

Time slowly passes by

sanela — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 14:06:43 +0000

You’ve probably already heard about the “young me/now me” blog where people recreate some of their favorite family photos from their childhood or simply past. Well, here you can find the best and most interesting of these photos. It is really a great idea and this inspired me to try and do this with some of mine old photos. If I do that I’ll add them to this post. It would be for the best if I could gather some of my old friends from childhood, because I haven’t seen them for a long time and this little project would be a great excuse for meeting again.

Vintage postcards and photos

sanela — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 09:23:52 +0000

Have a look at some awesome vintage postcards and photography. It’s really amazing, like a time travel. I was wondering how come old stuff is so pricey and has such a great value, and I realized it’s connected to our inevitable tendency to idealize the past and look at it with nostalgia. This is why we see things that aren’t really there, but that we think and wish there were. Nevertheless, I still love looking at this kind of old photos because it triggers my imagination and opens the door of my fantasies.

Old Surgical Tools

sanela — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 12:32:02 +0000

Wow! Now these old surgical instruments really make me realize how similar are surgery and butchery! Of course, these are old instruments, used a long time ago, but I don’t really think that there are many things that have changes during the years. It’s pretty much the same, they open and cut and then sew and hope you’ll bounce back. And in case you don’t, well… S**t happens! Better luck next time. Oh, wait, there usually is no next time. Well, then just oops!

These great black and white portraits of old war heroes truly say more than a thousand words! The author of these photos managed to capture the true nature and deep feelings of these people. Their portraits say more about them then they or anyone else could say in words.

Old British pubs

sanela — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:38:30 +0000

British people love their pubs and they’ll do anything to keep their closed circle of friends safe from intruders. Some would even design ugly signs and give their pubs crazy names to keep their beloved pubs to themselves. You can see some colorful and often bizarre pub signs featuring royalty, nobility, religious iconography, occupations and trades, legends and ever-popular sporting activities.

Afroamerican bikers

sanela — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 11:41:50 +0000

Great old black and white photos of Afro-american bikers. I love these images. Just by looking at them I feel the urge to go outside and taste the freedom. Really impressive caption. The photos are very lively and moving. They look almost like a commercial of a motivational poster of joining some bike gang.
