Blog description
For my dear friends far far away... a diary of my wonderful life in the lovely country of Croatia.

Explanation to all who wonder why this blog is in English:
my dear friends, to whom I write this instead of e-mails, are not Croatian. They’re from all over the world. So, I write in English, which all of my friends, whether Croatian, or Japanese, of French, or Mexican, can understand.

Forgot my e-m@il?

The last movie I've seen...
I can't seem to find the time to go see a movie. Or the will. Or the money :).


Alexander the Great

Horrible, horrible movie. Don't go and see it is my honest advice.



The Chronicles of Riddick

What can I say? Vin Diesel. If this were the worst movie in the history of movie making, I’d still love it. But it was quite good, actually. Sort of like Conan in space, but with a much, much hotter guy in the main role. Vin Diesel. Ah, he could make a movie about him walking around in an empty room for two hours doing nothing and I’d think it was the movie of the year :). (oh, and this stays here until I see a new movie with Vinnie boy :)))

The book(s) I'm reading these days...
Right now I've got the new Terry Pratchett - "Monstrus Regiment". It's too serious for a Discworld book so far.

Damn useful!

Why did I get myself into this concert planning thingy?

It's so fucking complicating!

Call this one, call that one, make sure these guys did their part... and everybody's busy, everything takes ages to be done!
Incredible.

Oh, well, as I said, I'm learning a lot, but apparently one thing is still left for me to learn – patience. I want it all done NOW and everything takes a few days – at least.

And besides that, all else is fine.

Honeybunny and I watched Star Wars yesterday together for the first time. Wow. It has taken us only four and a half years to watch our favorite movie of all time – together :).
And you know – every time I watch that movie I still love it as much as the first time I saw it. Well, that's why it's my favorite movie of all time.

There are two things I can't wait for – the new Harry Potter book and the new Star Wars movie. Although, the new parts will never be as good as the old ones. Star Wars, that is. Harry Potter will undoubtedly be great.

:))))) awwww, this reminds me of a friend’s friend theory about life. She once said when he was saying how he can’t wait for this thing to come out:

you always wait for something –to finish school, for your job, wait for the perfect man/woman, wait for your kids to finish school - and then you die.


I think what she meant was – stop waiting for things, have fun right now :).
But you know, she’s right: we always wait for something. We are always hoping and yearning for something – a job, a romance, house and kids, adventure, lottery winnings…. Sometimes in all this waiting and wishing we may forget to live and be happy right now.

Although, I believe happiness is unachievable. It is in the nature of a human to be unsatisfied. Even when you are completely, absolutely happy, you cannot stay in that mode long. Every day you will be less and less happy, and soon you will start wising for something new.

Have you ever been so happy and satisfied with your life that nothing could wipe the smile off your face? So happy that you walked around with a permanent grin stuck on your face and were aware that the passerby’s think you are a little crazy? (I was :))

How long did that last? (about five days for me… maybe a week)

And then you start getting of your cloud and start wishing, waiting, wanting – again.

But that’s fine. The fact that we cannot stay ultimately happy for long is what moves us on in search of new things to bring us happiness. If you are truly happy, you don’t need change. You would stay in your happy place and never go anywhere or do anything new. Never induce any change because the object of your desire has been achieved.
If we were all truly happy, we would not have wars, but we also would never change anything. Wouldn’t that be a shame?
Imagine if world-wide happiness came a century ago. Sure, there would not have been world war I&II, but there would also not have been computers, or fast cars and airplanes, washing machines and microwave ovens…. You name it. Because if everybody’s happy with now, why change it?

Argh, too much philosophy too early in the morning :) (how did I even get there?!). As honeybunny knows, my time for debate is late night, preferably after midnight :).

Well, I’m off to see if I can speed up the harvest and teleport myself off this rock :).

Love to you all from


Tiamat
