Latest issue; 10th Anniversary of Our Graduation

Few months ago, I tought of helping to orgnize that event. I contacted my class mate, known as the king of urnebes (Gazda), who is good with organizing things. We decided to do it togehter. I am known as a queen of urnebes. The word goes that Gazda and I are too determined and when we want something to be done, rest of them just cannot resist our urnebes. It is not really true, they manage quite well actually.
Anyways, everyone is so busy lately. We tried to gather people 2 times already but without any luck. Gazda went to the seaside and now he operates on his mobile phone and I am operating here. It is complicated to put all those people together in the same evening. Someone always can't come. Well, there were 36 of us. Unfortunately, the best one died. So, 35. Few of them are studying abroad and I already know that some have other events to attend. I went to the restaurant that we chose, set the menu and the price, told people to call people etc. The rest is up to them.
Then I got a phone call from a classmate layer:
D: could we move the date for next Saturday?
J: no we can not, this is already the 3rd try. Why?
D: because most of people I've called cannot come!
J: really? Who?
D: S. can't come, T. is working, I'm going to a wedding...
J: Weird, Gazda said that T. will come.
D: okay, I lied about that.
J: God help me!
D: no really, quite few can't come!
J: Who?
D: well, just me and S.
J: God help me!!!
D: okay okay, I will postpone the wedding...
J: how will you do that?
D: no worries...thanks for organising...I'll call others...

There, a little like this. I am looking forward to see those people. We were pretty close compared to other classes of our generation. We were together, most of us, since we were 11 or so. Classical primary school, classical highschool and so on... There are always people who you like more than others but I can say that I did not severely dislike anyone. I still hang with most of the guys.
There are few that just got lost. I did not see them for 10 years and I doubt that they will come on Saturday because no one knows where they are.
We're cca 28 years old now, only 3 people are married and many of them are still studying. Some of them are very successful in what they do. All in all, we all tourned out pretty much okay.
I am looking forward to see them, did their appearance change, how much older they look, are they happy, satisfied, have their principals and priorities change, are they in love, what are their plans etc.

Last week I read an article in the newspaper. It was written by one of my former latin professors. He wrote how those gatherings suck. He dislikes them more than weddings and funerals because they are not necessary. He thinks that it's stupid to meet people who you haven't seen for a long time and assumes that there is nothing to talk about. He thinks that people come there to prove to others that they are successful in life. What a stupidity! If you think that, old guy, then you hanged with wrong people. Also, that kind of attitude is not particular for our school.
You set in the same classroom with some people for 4 years, if you can't find something in common to talk about then you have a serious problem of your own. You can talk about stupid things from highschool days if nothing else. It is just one night after 10 years, c'mon!! Who would call you anyway?
I'll write a review of the event!

The Visitor

Long time no write. I just saw a sight that I was not happy to see. Russian President is visiting Zagreb this weekend. I witnessed the protocol regulation since I live in the street near which all those important cars need to pass. First of all, in last day or so, all cars from Pantovčak were moved away from the street. I have never seen the street that empty, not even in the era of the former Presidente. People who live there went crazy because of that since most of them do not have a garage and where are they supposed to park then? My friend went to the seaside and left his car and motocycle on the street. The car is gone, I have no idea where they put it.
I went to walk the dog with a friend and to see Mr. Putin pass by. It was quite an event, let me tell you. All streets around were blocked, people were waiting in cars for quite some time, pissed. I have not seen that many cops in my life. It was like the time stopped. An empty street with only few people who were walking home because they were tired of waiting of the first KGB guy to pass. One devastated guy asked the cop how was he supposed to go home? How long was this gonna last? He also said that he's a journalist and that he's gonna write all bunch of stuff and hats off to them for doing their job.
No busses, no road crossing, maybe whispering would be better than talking. As if the God himself came to see us poor, obedient and foolish Croatians. I doubt that this happens anywhere else. Do you think that the same thing would happen in any European country? No way. Cops did not let even the ambulance pass because of some Putin guy. Ambulance needed to move to another street and the patient was sitting in a wheelchair in front of the house. Isn't that insane? It would be really funny if it was not sad. Women, if you need to give birth, cross your legs and wait because Mr. Putrin is passing by.
Then finally, all "important" cars started coming. There were at least 20 cars passing one after another. And all were surrounded by cops. Maybe they even borrowed some cops from our neighbour countries especially for this event. After it was all over, another 10 minutes everything was standing still because cops were not sure if everything will remain like this until the nice guys go back or will they quickly let some cars pass!? They finally decided to let the cars pass....and then I could not cross the street because there was no signalisation. There were so many cars filled with angry people that I did not want to push it and gamble with my road crossing so I waited. Horror.

P.s. I did not take any film of this charade but I'll put a pic of some white shoes what is always hip.
