Χρόνια πολλά στην Καλαμάτα!

02.02.2014

Χρόνια Πολλά στην Καλαμάτα μας. Σε αυτή την πανέμορφη πόλη που γεννήθηκα, μεγάλωσα και απέκτησα τις ομορφότερες αναμνήσεις.
Η πόλη γιορτάζει την Υπαπαντή του Σωτήρος, όπου η εκκλησία βρίσκεται στο ιστορικό κέντρο της πόλης.
Όταν σκέφτομαι την Καλαμάτα, έρχονται όλες οι όμορφες αναμνήσεις που έχω περάσει εκεί και πραγματικά θεωρώ πως είναι από τις ομορφότερες πόλεις της Ελλάδας (και όχι επειδή είναι πατρίδα μου).
Συνδυάζει το βουνό και τη θάλασσα, που μπορείς να κάνεις μπάνιο στην παραλία έχοντας για θέα το βουνό και αν θελήσεις να βρεθείς στον Ταΰγετο, απέχεις μόνο ένα 50λεπτο.

Ιστορική Αναδρομή

Η ιστορία της πόλης ξεκινάει από τον Όμηρο όπου την αναφέρει ως Φαρές, μια αρχαία πόλη χτισμένη περίπου εκεί που βρίσκεται σήμερα το φράγκικο κάστρο της Καλαμάτας. Αργότερα, αναφέρεται πως ήταν υπό λακωνική κυριαρχία και απελευθερώθηκε τον 4 αιώνα π.Χ από τους Θηβαίους.

Το σημαντικότερο ιστορικό γεγονός της πόλης ήταν η απελευθέρωσή της από τους Τούρκους στις 23 Μαρτίου του 1821. Κολοκοτρώνης, Νικηταράς, Μαυρομιχάλης, Παπαφλέσσας (και άλλοι) μπήκαν στην πόλη ως απελευθερωτές. Συμμετείχαν στην πανηγυρική δοξολογία που τελέστηκε στον ιερό ναό των Αγίων Αποστόλων (μικρή βυζαντινή εκκλησία του 10ου αιώνα που σώζεται μέχρι σήμερα και αποτελεί σύμβολο της πόλης) όπου και ευλογήθηκε η επαναστατική σημαία. Από την Καλαμάτα ξεκίνησε η Επανάσταση του 1821.

Το Σεπτέμβρη του 1986 η πόλη υπέστη σοβαρές ζημιές και θύματα από δύο ισχυρούς σεισμούς. Παρόλα αυτά η πόλη ανασυγκροτήθηκε γρήγορα από αυτή την καταστροφή.

Σημερινή Καλαμάτα

Η Καλαμάτα θεωρείτε η δεύτερη μεγαλύτερη πόλη της Πελοποννήσου, μετά την Πάτρα, με τον πληθυσμό της στους 66.359 κατοίκους. Έχει έντονη νυχτερινή ζωή, το καλοκαίρι σε clubs & beach bars δίπλα στη θάλασσα και στη Βέργα (προάστιο της Καλαμάτας) όπου υπάρχουν πανέμορφα bar & club με καταπληκτική θέα τη θάλασσα και την πόλη.
Η Καλαμάτα έχει ΤΕΙ, σχολές Πανεπιστημίου Πελοποννήσου, αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις καθώς και διεθνές αεροδρόμιο όπου πρόσφατα γυρίστηκε και η πρώτη σκηνή της ταινίας: Before Midnight !
Είναι γνωστή για το λάδι και τις ελιές της καθώς και για τα μαντήλια (μαντήλι καλαματιανό που λέει και το τραγούδι). Ακόμα έχει σαν τοπικό γλυκό τις Δίπλες-τις οποίες προσωπικά λατρεύω- και το παστέλι. Μεταξύ μας είναι φημισμένη και για τη...φούντα, που από τη στιγμή που ήρθα εδώ πάνω στην Καστοριά, πολλοί δεν ήξεραν ούτε καν που πέφτει η πόλη αλλά ήξεραν όλοι για το συγκεκριμένο προϊόν (!!!)

Όσοι δεν την έχετε επισκεφτεί πραγματικά αξίζει να περάσετε έστω λίγες μέρες στην Καλαμάτα. Είμαι σίγουρη πως θα σας ικανοποιήσει με το παραπάνω...

Daemons

The devil's at his strongest while we're looking the other way, like a program running in the background silently, while we're busy doing other sh1t. Daemons, they call them. They perform action without user interaction. Monitoring, logging, notifications. Primal urges, repressed memories, unconscious habits. They're always there, always active. We can try to be right, we can try to be good. We can try to make a difference, but it's all bullshit. 'Cause intentions are irrelevant. They don't drive us. Daemons do. And me? I've got more than most.

For you...

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
I would give the very breath from my chest
To give you all the things that my mind couldn't bear
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I'd love to walk away and pull myself out of the rain
But I can't leave without you
I'd love to live without the constant fear and endless doubt
But I can't live without you
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

- My Immortal, Evanescence

To my beloved sister...

Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
'Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Aren't you somethin', an original
'Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled
And I can't help but stare, 'cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I would look at us all the time

'Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

-Mirrors, Justin Timberlake

Aren't you somethin' to admire, cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallell on the other side
