Lionder in Athens

This is my new song -Antio- (Which means "Goodbye" in Greek).  The Story behind it:  A beloved aunt of mine passed away in the middle of March in 2016 and the same day she died, pain was so deep that I wanted to express it in a paper. So, I wrote this Greek song.  and I uploaded it on her birthday: March 5th It's so hard losing someone you love and it's even harder to go back to the time that you lost that person. That's why I was never in the mood to write this blog post.  That woman was a very lovely woman, had a very lovely soul and the only thing I remember the most is that I've always seen her smiling. There was always a smile on her face, I've never seen her the other way.  A month after I wrote this song, I wrote 3 poems for her in 2 hours in her 40 day memorial.  The feeling that you feel when someone has just died -the atmosphere, the air, everything- is the worst feeling I have ever experienced.  About the video:  W...

STORY TIME!  Before I begin telling you my story, I would like to say that I'm Leander and I'm so happy that you're here for one more time and if you are a new reader, I'd be happy to know that you like our content and become a part of our little family over here. Thank you.  Now, It's time for story time!  On September of 2016, my idol Lady Gaga released her first pop song in 3 years "Perfect Illusion". You can't imagine how much happy I was when I learned about the news that it would come out soon and you can't imagine how much happier I became when I listened to the song for the first time.  To be more specific, I woke up in the morning, went to YouTube, and without even having opened my eyes completely I streamed it and it felt like paradise. It was just like heaven. I don't how heaven looks like or feels like or anything, but the only thing that I know is that I fell in love with the song and if heaven gates exist, I know they pl...

Hello, everyone! It's a long time since I last updated my little blog. Right now, I'm listening to "Love's just a feeling" by Lindsey Stirling while I'm typing here but in the end of this blog post, I will have listened to a whole EP. It doesn't take 5 minutes to write this post, that's why I don't have time to chill out here. A lot of things have happened in my life since last time... but I think I want to dedicate each one of those moments in different blog posts and not just all in one. So, today I'll be talking about.... KARATE! The weekend that just passed by (since we're talking about the weekend, let me tell you that now I'm listening to I Feel it coming by the weeknd ) (oh and I love the video.. It has some good 80s vibes in it.. totally into it). Anyway, I changed the topic. Let's go back. This weekend there was this big seminar of Yamada Ha Shito Ryu Shukokai Karate-Do that happened here in Heraklion in my ho...

Hello, everybody! How are you today?  So, I was chillinnnn' (Jamaican accent) and I was like "What's up wit my blog?". So, here I am typing on my little blog.  I've got a tense to write "so" again and again! I don't really get what's going on with me but I've always been erasing "so's" in my blog posts because I keep on writing "SO" so freaking many times. I mean... for example: So, I was chillinnnn' [...] So, here I am typing on my little blog.  AND BE-LIE-VE me, there are a hundred times that I find myself trying to figure out what word I should use instead of "so". This is A WORLD WORTH PROBLEM. Be my friend, please..  So, what's up with me.. (Did it again) (and I don't care) (yo) What do I want to share with you today....  Have you read Aristotle?  Aristotle (as well as Socrates, Platon etc) is the reason why we, high school teenagers, suffer everyday for 9 months. It's like hav...

Hey, guys! How are you? I'm happy today and everyday.. If you wanna know.  Not because something happened.. but because I realise how many little big things I have in my life right now that I would not replace.. ever.  When I say "little-big things" I mean those few things that I have but are so important to me. There not just things. And even if they are a few, they are more than enough to keep me happy and thankful.  My family, my friends, the circumstances... everything that I've got right now is here for a reason and makes a wonderful difference in my life. It makes my life. Every little part of my life right now is the definition of happiness.  And poor people if you think that money, views and numbers are what happiness is all about, you need to change your mind and see clearer.  In 2013, I uploaded a greek cover of mine.. which caught a lot of people's attention. To be more specific, 9,233 people saw it. But all of those views (that were making t...

Hey, what's up! I'm feeling good and I'm happy to say it because these past few days have been just chaotic.. No... nothing SHOCKING happened. I'm just kind of concerned of this whole period.. The 4 last months of my school life... It kind of sucks when I think of it this way.. I do feel emotional. I'm going to miss being a kid, a teenager and caring about bullshit.  But that's going to change real soon. And if you take it from another perspective, I've been always dreaming for this moment. The moment in which I'm going to be an  adult. A responsible and hard working human being. I've been waiting my whole for this and I guess the end of an era is not the end of the world. Oh why do I even talk about this? I have 4 months yet... Then I'll be posting the sad blog post.. now it's not time.. Weeell... What I keep on learning everyday is that I have to be HAPPY. And everyday is a new battle for me to maintain that and find ways to cheer myse...

Hey, guys. What's up.  Today, I thought of updating my little blog. It's nice to share with you a little part of my life. Don't get too excited. I said "a little part". Yeah, in case you were screaming out loud..  Oh you didn't..  Well, okay.  So, some of the things I've been doing this month.  I started watching Pretty Little Liars.  Okay. This series is amazing. I remember back in 2013 when everybody in Greece (or at least in my Hometown) was obsessed with that show and I was like "Whatever". 'cause if you want to get to know me better  then you should know that I hate it when people overreact to something. Is it a new song? Or a very cool TV show? When you start talking about me like it's the greatest, I immediately don't have the greatest feelings about it. I'm sort of a rebel. I don't like when others force me to be a part of something. Anyway.  I started watching it and I'm AMAZED. The drama (I hate dra...
