When all the world is young, lad, And all the trees are green; And every goose a swan, lad, And every lass a queen; Then hey for boot and horse, lad, And round the world away; Young blood must have its course, lad, And every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad, And all the trees are brown; And all the sport is stale, lad, And all the wheels run down; Creep home, and take your place there, The spent and maimed among: God grant you find one face there, you loved when all was young.

"A lot of time, you just have to go down many roads to get where you are going...The important thing is to keep moving." Bob Dylan, 1971.

The question is not what we are willing to kill for" rekao je Gandhi "but what are we willing to die for."

Mirsad, it was a name for Sarajevo, not for London. Now his name is Miro, but I think he should love his name. Names in my country are like flags, you can live or die because of your name.

"L.A. is a strange place. As long as you think it's strange, then you're all right. I think it's strange, and I am pretty damn strange too." Bono, 1989.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Eve sjedim na poslu i dosade ko u prici. Sef je ovaj tjedan na vacationu, a ja jos nemam listu brokera i klienata koje trebam zvati, tako da u stvari niti nemam sta raditi,pa lapinjam.

Ovaj vikend mi je nekako pobjegao, nisam apsolutno nista radio, a nisam stigo nista od planiranog napravit? Cak nisam niti na Halloween party otisao na koji sam bio pozvan prije mjesec dana! Not so Thriller night, sjedeci na kaucu i jedeci cips. Jedino sto sam radio je gledao film Departed koji je i 3. tjedan za redom jos uvijek drugi po gledanosti u Jamerike. Film je dobar, ali ne i odlican. Tolko sam se dobroga o njemu naslusao, nisam niti jednu losu kritiku procitao, i svaki moj prijatelj koji ga je vidio padao je u nesvijest. Mozda su mi bas i zato ocekivanja bila pre velika. Nisam se razocarao ili mislio da je film sranje, ali mislim da nije po Scorsesijevim standardima. Svi glumci su odlicni i u filmu se non-stop nesto dogada, no nije mi toliko intense kao njegovi ostali filmovi. Npr. nedavno sam ponovno gledao Casino, i 50 puta mi je bolji od Departed, a cak i Gangs mi se vise svida. Dakle nije da ne poznajem i ne postujem Martijev rad.
However, soundtrack je super kao i svaki soundtrack Martijevog filma.
Sinoc je na teliju bio American Beauty i ponovno sam se prisjetio kako je dobar. Potpuno zasluzeni Oscari za glavnog glumca i za film 1999. To je jedan od onih filmova koje te ostave na dupetu 10 minuta nakon sto zavrsi, a posto ga nisam gledao od kako je izasao, pola sam ga zaboravio, pa je bilo kao da ga nisam niti gledao.

Eto to je to. U cetvrtak sam u svom gymu vidio Don Cheadle-a za one koje prate moj celebrity sightings. Cujemo se, B
Smile! You're at Mr. Smiley's.

BizNis TriP

Ovih dana spemam se na biznis trip u Philly. Idem Nov 05, sve placeno, spava se u marriottu, placen rent-a-car, naravno avion i dnevnice, idem na tjedan dana, u stilu...moj prvi sluzbeni business trip. u februaru sam bio na business tripu u hladnoj minnesoti, ali bio sam sa sefom, i on je sve placao i sve je islo na ING, tako da se nisam morao za nista brinuti, ali i u isto vrijeme nisam mogao bas party, party jel ipak bio sam stalno sa svojim glavnim sefom koji je 4 levela iznad mene pa se nisam htio blamirat, iako smo se dobro zapili vise puta...sada pak, idem sam..he he...company kartica i udri.

Seminar mi traje od pon-cet, a ne moram radit do slijedeceg ponedeljka, tako da imam 3 day weekend pa sam se dvoumio da li da skocim do nyc-a ili d.c-a kad vec imam besple auto i benzin. Posto nikad nisam bio u washingtonu, a new york sam obisao prije 2-3 godine ipak sam se odlucio za D.C i vec bookiro sobu, isto u marriotu pa nek crkne skrtost, u samom je centru tako da sam na walking distance. marriott capitol hill...jebiga... uglavnom od hotela do hotela, philly do d.c-vrata do vrata je 2.40 sata, sve po freewayu, 145 milja, nije stasno,prolazim po sred baltimora pa mozda i tamo stanem na tren. to je ko od l.a-a do san diega, sto ljudi ovdje rade kako bi otisli na football/ragbi tekmu, u jedno popodne.
svi mi kazu da dvije noci i 3 dana u washingtonu su sasvim dovoljna, a i philly cu obici cijeli preko tjedna. dakle philly-baltimore-d.c od nedelje do nedelje. moj hotel u phillyu je blizu dvorane di igraju 76ers, pa mozda i odem u petak navece na tekmu protiv nuggetsa, ako katre ne budu preskupe.

Ako je netko od vas bio u bilo kojem od spomenutih gradova...prijedlozi su dobrodosli, pogotovo barovi i restorani, moze i skuplji (platit ce neko drugi :)

to je to, poso je cool, jucer su mi narucili biznis kartice..cijeli dan samo printam mape i gluposti, jedva cekam...

cujemo se...Love, B

How Did iT feel? How Did It FeeL?

Jucer navecer sam bio na Dylanu. Kako je bilo? (Ovo pisem na englestini jel cu poslati tekst i ostalim amerima pa da ne moram tipkat 2 puta)
Cekao sam godinama to see the legend that is Bob Dylan in concert. Ja sam inace a huge fan of Dylan, he is for me, the best song writer the world has ever seen.

Being a Dylan fan, I knew what to expect. He never has been that great live - although Budokan is fantastic - he wasn't particularly great in LA. He sat the entire show, dressed in a black suit, playing the keyboards with his head bowed, stammering over the microphone. The band was tight, the drummer banging away, there were lots of guitarists, all lined up in a row. Nije bilo puno improvizacije.

Dylan's songs are not ideal for blurting out over hundreds of watts of musical equipment, they are delicate, sensitive, and hugely provoking, they bring furniture to an otherwise empty room in the minds eye. So how can he deliver on the stage? The best bet is intimacy, him alone playing the guitar, even being that old, and that out of voice, it would still have offered more to the audience. Instead we had to put up with long solo guitar efforts, and lots of country-blues, fast tempo playing.

So was it that bad? No, of course not. In reality it was still brilliant. Just to be in the same room as Dylan is a pleasure. He played only 4 very known songs, the crowd went mad for Like a Rolling Stone, screaming out the chorus lines, "how does it feel? how does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home. Like a rolling stone!", and Just Like a Woman was breathtakingly sublime, the audience softly singing "just like a woman", it really was a beautiful moment. You just wish the gig was more intimate, and more acoustic - but we all know how Dylan doens't give a shit about that aspect! The show was only 1 1/2 hrs long, he didn't say a word, no thank you, no hello LA, no how are you, not a word, he briefly introduced his 5 piece band and was gone, no encore or any of that stuff. But, that's Dylan, boo him if you want, it wouldn't be the 1st time (Judas!)

Great man, great songs, and a pretty good night.

Set Lista: 1 Cat's in the Well 2 She Belongs to Me 3 Lonesome Day Blues 4 Just Like a Woman 5 Highway 61 Revisited 6 When the Deal Goes Down 7 Tangled Up in Blue 8 Ballad of Hollis Brown
9 Rollin' and Tumblin' 10 The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll 11 Watching the River Flow
12 Nettie Moore 13 Summer Days 14 Thunder On the Mountain 15 Like a Rolling Stone 16 All Along the Watchtower

Novi JoB

Prvi dan novoga posla. Digao sam se u 8 ujutro prvi puta u vise od godinu i pol dana(do sada sam radio 12-21.00 ili 11-20.00, tako da nisam isao spavati prije 1 ili 2 ili se dizao prije 10.30). Tako da sam sada umoran ko pas and i'll be sleeping like a log.
Preko vikenda sam isao na rodos Jordanine legice, koja se by the way preziva Brletich, napio se ko djubre i odlucio da raskrstim sa starom damom ING. Novi posao je vrlo slican starome samo sto radim Commercial Loans umjesto residential ili osobne mortgages. Office je u Burbanku koji mi je dosta blizi od Santa Monice i ima nas samo 6 za sada, sto je i dobro i lose,
a)dobro jel nema korporate bullshit i politike, headquaters je u philly-u, i glavni sef dolazi dvaput godisnje, a i moze se lakse i brze napredovati posto se tek sad sire po west coastu. Dakle nema ih 10 ko u ING-u kojima se moras stalno ulizivat i koji ti tisu za vrat.
B) lose jel nema bas puno legosa za zajebanciju ili curica za......
Placa je dosta veca. Bumo vidili, novi pocetak, nova iskustva i poznanstva.

Za kraj, Gledao sam na DVD Click sa Adam Sandlerom i zacudujuce je dobar film, isto tako novi Beckov album je nelos. Nista idem se brijat, ispeglat i u krpice, ipak za to nemam vise vremena u jutro. Cujemo se, pozdrav svima koji ovo cine dialogom, a ne mojim brbljavim monologom.
Welcome on Tuesday # 300 000 000
Love and Peace, B ......LioN No MorE

Imperium Romanum

Evo upravo pada prva kisa u L.A-u u zadnjih 4-5 mjeseci. Sjedim u svojoj fotelji i citam o Rimskom imperiju kad odjednom neka cudna buka iz vana, nesto tapka po prozoru, zovem Jordan, ni ona ni ja ne prepoznamo sta je dobrih pol minute, kad tek onda nam ude u Kaliforniski razmazenu glavu da bi to mogla biti kisa. I nista sjedim ja tako jos jedno 15. minuta i sjetim se da mozda ne bih bilo lose zatvoriti prozor, jel koliko pamtim kisa moze uci kroz prozor i smociti stan. Bez zezancije.
Zasto citam o Rimu pitate se? Gledao sam prije par mjeseci novu HBO seriju Rome, i nedavno je izasla cijela season 1 na dvd-u, pa sam se strasno napalio. (vrlo interesantno je bilo gledati kako se Cezarovi veterani otimaju i bune jel im je Cezar nakon povratka u Rim obecao zemlju/posjed u republici, a onda im dodijelio pannonium, pa su ovi na to poludili, kao jel' je on normalan, kako se samo usudi..)Onda prije par dana na History channelu je bila emisija (Engeneering an empire) o arhiktekturi Rima u to doba, i onda samo odlucio da se moram jos malo vise obrazovati sto se toga tice i otiso u centralnu knjiznicu u l.a-u, u kojoj nikad nisam bio jel je dosta daleko u downtownu, ali koja je jako impresivna. ima 8 katova i siri se preko cijelog bloka. U njoj se recimo mogu naci Glembajevi i ima cijela polica knjiga na "serbo-croatian-u". But anyways, u knjiznici sam digao 6 knjizetina o Rimu i sad ih proucavam.
Bio sam jucer na onom snimanju, show se zove cd usa i ista kopija je american bandstanda. Ono malo pricaju, pa sviraju, pa fashion show, pa sviraju, pa pricaju i kraj. Vidio sam JoJo!, OK GO koji nazalost nisu live izveli ono na treadmills, nekog So-So Def crnju kojem nisam uspio ufatit ime i band Mu. Stojis ispred stagea, bacaju ti majice, palice, sve na playback a ti samo pljesces na znak i na kraju te plate $20 za nekih 2.5 sata zeke, a sve to skupa odvija se jedno 5 minuta voznje od mog stana. hollywood at it's finest!

kisa jos uvijek pada...agains my window...i can't stand the rain....tum tum tu tu ttuu tu tuuu

Should I STaY or Should I gO?

Danas sam dobio jako dobru poslovnu ponudu. Vec neko vrijeme ozbiljno razmisljam da odem iz ING-a, ne zato sto mi je lose ili zato sto me ne vole, nego jednostavno zato sto sam nakon godine i pol provedenih tamo dosao do stropa i mislim da mi nema vise napredovanja, bilo u poziciji ili placi. Osvojio sam Rookie of the Year 2005 nagradu, pobjedio njih pedesetak, (na sto sam jako ponosan) i kao nagradu poslali su me na Nacionalnu Sales Konferenciju u Minnesotu i prije jedno mjesec dana mene i Jordan u Honolulu. Svaka cast tome, no jednostavno mislim da sa 25 god. trebam zaradivati vise i biti na vecoj poziciji, specijalno kao dokazani top salesman. Nazalost, sve vise vidim da ING nisu ti koji mi mogu to priustiti. Tako da sam u zadnjih par tjedana malo gledao, intervjuirao i malo ispipavao market. Bilo je dosta offera, no sve za neke sitne pare ili bull poslove. Danas su mi javili jedni da me zele kao Jr. Loan Officera, da umjesto residential mortgages prodajem commercial/ hipoteke preko brokera. Naravno, godisnja placa bila znatno veca nego do sada, a bonusi trostruki. Eto sada dumam ima li razloga ne otici...Moram potpisati ugovor do ponedeljka. Jedno je sigurno...skupo prodajem kozu. Poslat cu vam slike sa pressice kad me budu slikali s novim dresom

Kakva je bila tekma protiv Engleza? Slusao sam preko radia, gdje su se 2 voditelja prepirala kolko kornera mi imamo, i onda se onaj stari slozio sa mladim i rekao "O tako je imas pravo, zaboravio sam zapisati preprosli korner!". 21. century boy, nema sta...

Sutra idem na snimanje nekog showa, muzicki gost su OK GO, a platit ce me $20 da sjedim i pljescem. Blizu je i zasto ne, taman za pivu kasnije.
Procitajte vrlo zanimljiv Bob Dylanov interview. Ne mogu docekat 20. da ga vidim u Forumu... Dylan in Rolling Stone.

Pozdrav, B

Country BlueGrass Blues

Jeste li citali da se legendarni CBGB zatvara nakon 33. godine postojanja!? Tuzno. Vijest koja je tuzna iz drugih razloga je da ce ga preseliti/otvoriti u Las Vegasu, kao identicnu repliku. Sto posto ce ga Snow Patrol, Death Cab, Panic at the Disco i New Charlotte proslaviti jos vise nego Television, the Ramones, Blondie, the Talking Heads i Patti Smith. 100%.

Kao i CBGB, zatvara se i cijeli lanac, svih 86 storeova, Tower Recordsa, bankrotirali su i sad ostaje jedino moj Virgin. Zar je glazbena industrija u toliko bad shapeu? Tower je pojam i Virginov uvijek najveci competitor. U isto vrijeme mozda to i nije toliko sokantno, s obzirom da je cak i Bob Dylan prodao vise kopija svog novog(i odlicnog) albuma digitalno nego u shopovima. Dakle cak i matorci i baby boomery preferiraju iTunes nasprem fizickog shopa. Ako giant Tower ne moze opstati, postoje li vise male samostalne glazbene trgovinice? Ne bih znao s obzirom da ima vise od godinu dana od kako sam kupio fizicki CD.

Dosla je i do nas vijest o nasim dragim navijacima, pa me sad na poslu svi zezaju i ispituju o tome. Procitajte odlican clanak na tu temu.

Danas su Jordan izvadili 5 savova iz koljena

Sretno nasima protiv Engleza...
Pozdrav, Love + Peace.... B

MonK u moJoJ uliCi

Danas vam u mojoj ulici snimaju epizodu Monka. Cijela ulica mi je zatvorena i nema parkinga da se ubijes, 50 policajaca, 10 kamiondina, kablovi, kamere, svi ustrcani, ja gledam sa prozora i cudim se kako mi je sve ovo postalo sasvim, sasvim normalno....

U medu vremenu Sjeverna Korea testirala bombicu....ne mogu shvatiti dokle je doslo, da jedan patuljak odluci se poigrati sa vatrom i cijeli svijet odmah automatski pusi, stock market danas se srozao, japanski yen se spustio na 8 month low nasprem dolara, svi ameri u panici....i u isto vrijeme arabi odluciti malo pritvoriti pipu jel valjda su cijene benzina pre jeftine? cijena galona pala je sa $3 na nehih $2.50 i valjda su shvatitli da valjda pre malo placamo! To je prvi puta u 2.5 godine da su cijene malo pale i da su nam dale malo oduska. Sto me cudi i ljuti da neki drugi idioti odlucuju, na potpunom drugom kraju kugle koje ce ti cijene biti goriva, koliko ces izgubiti na burzi, kakva ce ekonomija biti u sljedecih par tjedana i koliko ces biti uplasen kada odes u krevet.....fuck

Ako oni nama odlucuju koliko ce me kostati put do posla, koliko sam izgubio na burzi, a USA Network mi odlucuje koliko dugo ce mi trebati da izadem iz garaze, mogu li barem plivanje gledati kad mi pase??

OI 2008.: NBC ŽELI ODREĐIVATI PROGRAM PLIVAČKIH FINALA 09.10.2006

Međunarodni olimpijski odbor i organizatori Olimpijskih igara u Pekingu 2008. pod velikim su pritiskom američke televizijske mreže NBC, koja traži da finalna natjecanja u plivanju budu u prijepodnevnom terminu.

Naime, ako bi plivačka finala počela u 10 sati po kineskom vremenu, to znači da bi ih gledatelji u SAD-u gledali u elitnom večernjem terminu. Naime, u Los Angelesu bi tada bilo 19 sati, a u New Yorku 22 sata. U tom slučaju gledatelji u Hrvatskoj morali bi ustati u 4 sata ujutro da bi gledali plivanje.

Ako bi plivačka finala bila u poslijepodnevnom terminu, kao što je uobičajeno, tada bi Amerikanci morali ustajati u gluho doba noći da bi gledali televizijske prijenose.

MOO ističe da će odluku o rasporedu plivačkih finala donijeti u studenome. Tada će se vidjeti hoće li prevagnuti sportski ili financijski argumenti. No treba napomenuti da je NBC platio dvije milijarde i 300 milijuna američkih dolara za televizijska prava za OI 2004., ZOI 2006. i OI 2008. u Pekingu.

Danas je Mr.Lennonov 66. rodendan, za mene uvijek specijalan dan.
John Winston Ono Lennon would have been 66 years old today had he not been physically torn from this world by an assassin's bullets. In spite of the efforts by many to silence him throughout his life, and even after his death through slanderous character assaults, John's words and messages are stronger than ever before--reaching more and more people across the universe. On John's birthday, I find it a most fitting time for us to renew our own committments to peace and justice.

Also on this day, John's son Sean is celebrating his 31st birthday. In 1971 when John was celebrating his own 31st, he and Yoko were in Syracuse, NY, for the opening of Yoko's art exhibit, This Is Not Here, at the Everson Museum. That night, John and Yoko celebrated John's birthday with a party on the 7th floor of the downtown Syracuse hotel. Those friends in attendance included Ringo and Maureen Starkey, Phil Spector, Allen Ginsberg, Klaus Voormann, and Jim Keltner. A fun jam session erupted, which was tape recorded and is in circulation on different bootlegs. The songs that were run through that night include "Yellow Submarine", "Yesterday", "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", "My Sweet Lord", "He's Got the Whole World in his Hands", "Take This Hammer", "Imagine", etc. John also began composing "Attica State" during this party. I thought it would be very appropriate to commemorate John's 31st as Sean is celebrating his own 31st.

Happy Birthday, John and Sean. Light a candle, listen to your favorite Lennon music, but above all hold on to hope, and spread the message of peace and love in your own way today.

Evo i ja sam pristupio, uclanio se u klub.. Konacno da sam se odlucio za ovako nesto. I am in da motherfuckin house my friends. Kako se nikako ne cujem sa svojom bracom i sestrama iz Ervatske, mislim i nadam se da ce ovo biti nacin na kojem cemo biti malo vise u kontaktu i da cemo barem od sada znati jesmo li zivi i zdravi. Isto tako nadam se da cete mi vi sa svojim komentarima i suradnjom dati do znanja da mi se ispacuje effort i da ste i vi takodjer zivi i zdravi.
Vi koji me ne znate sigurno mislite "tko je ovaj levat koji opce ne zna ni pisat hrvatski i stalno se nesto preserava, uuuuu ja sam iz los angelesa uuuu, ovaj mi se levat vec ispocetka ne svida", "Honey I don't really like this dude, come and check him out, he is so lame."
Well, ja sam vam decko sa Gornjodravske i jos uvijek sam u potrazi za Americkim Dreamom. Iz Osidjeka sam otisao sad vec davne 1998 i od tada sam Angelino, stanovnik jednog od najvecih i najznacajnijih gradova na svijetu-Los Angelesa. Zivim u Hollywoodu sa baby po imenu Jordan i radim u banci po imenu ING. Vozim Ford Focusa i u slobodno vrijeme idem na rock and roll. Danas popodne sam bio U Brentwoodu kod mog najboljeg americkog lege i co-workera Adama gdje smo gledali college football. Ja bas i nisam nesto posebno pratio, vise sam ispijao Spaten Oktoberfest i davao im high fivove kad god bi berkley stavio touchdown. Adam i njegovi legosi su veceras otisli gledat queens of the stone age i becka in concert, a meni se nije bas dalo skakutat jel sam bio u kratkicima i nisam poneo puno para (da kratkicima i sandalama u oktobru-welcome to l.a) iako sam gledao becka prije jedno godinu dana i bio je odlican. Na putu kuci (45 mins brentwood 2 hollywood-welcome to l.a) sam nazujen slusao ederlezi od brege nakon dugo vremena i dobro mi je legao.

I eto mene sada sam doma u svom hollywoodskom stancicu i tipkam, na telki nogomet, fox en espanol en vivo i utakmica belgija-serbia na spanjolskom!, Jordan se nedavno upisala na posdiplomski iz arheologije i spema se na ispit soon pa uci u spavacoj. Ne znam jesam li sponjinjao u mailovima (upravo zato i pisem ovaj blog) ali imala je dosta tesku saobracajku prije desetak dana...honda je totalled, sto znaci da je potpuno u ne voznom stanju i jordan je sva natucena u sljivama i imala je 5 savova na koljenu, no sve se dobro zavrsilo. neki doktor je opzidio u stranu ispred ucla-a i isla je u ER. Sad sepa po kuci i pizdi sto nece moci trcati Columbus Ohio (njena rodna gruda) maraton. Istrcala je San Francisco maraton prije jedno 2 mjeseca ispod 6 sati! a ja sjedim na kaucu i jedem cips.

Eto moja braco i setre, dame i gospodo, znanci i stranci to je to za moj prvi blog, cujemo se cesto i feel free to contribute.

GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK!
