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!

I really should not be allowed to do nothing.

Because when I do nothing I start to think.

And when I start to think, I inevitably end up considering, sooner or later, the eternal unanswered questions of life and death, us vs. time and space.

And then I unavoidably end up depressed.

Because, when you think about it, human life is just a nanosecond in time, and our lives don’t present anything significant in the universe as a whole. Whatever we do, whatever noble or horrible acts we commit, the universe doesn’t give a fuck. If we all die out, the Earth would still continue. We’re not important and we don’t matter.

This is where for a lot of people religion comes in. We do matter, because God created us and we are his children; he cares about us always. We are not insignificant; we have a higher purpose given to us by God. What that purpose is we don’t know, but we’re bound to find out eventually.

But take God out of this equation, take away the concepts of Heaven and Hell, reward and punishment for good/bad behavior, and what are we? Irrelevant little mammals a bit more intelligent than monkeys.

And then I start wondering…
Does it matter if I get out of bed this morning? Does it matter if I don’t do the things I’m supposed to do? Who cares if I look at the potential apartments today or tomorrow? What difference does it make if I summarize some rules tonight instead of this morning? Does it really matter if I pass my diving exam in three weeks instead of two? What’s the rush? Where’s the deadline? What’s the life-threatening emergency?
So, since I don’t believe in the conventional image of God, or in Heaven and Hell, furthermore I’m not sure anything exists after death other than complete unimaginable nothingness, you can see how this ends up depressing me. I cannot say to myself: “You make a difference.” Because I know I don’t.

And then I say to myself – you’re spending way too much time alone; any human being faced with the insignificance of his own existence will go crazy very soon, so whether you’re irrelevant or not stop thinking about it, just go out, get drunk, and forget all about it.
