The fight between good and evil

We live in dark times. You never know what could happen to you and when. You never know what the person next to you thinks. Everyone is suspicious, everyone can be the bad guy.

Or story happened ones in Bratislava... It was an unusual warm summer day when you sweat till you have water in your body. The people where happy anyway. They didn't know, didn't care what will happen. They though it was only a regular day, with a small festival called Junifest, where beer was flowing like water. And we all know, that beer is one of the most dangerous drinks in the world, which can make ppl go crazy and do things, which can't be told out loud.
It was already past MIDNIGHT when the evils spark sprang into its victim. Some ppl noticed how is eyes started to be starry but they though it was just because of the beer. The waitress suspected the least, and it was a horrible mistake from her to not take it away earlier. And so the inevitable finally happened. A litter jug slowly slipped into the backpack, the devil himself smiled in hell. But he still could make a move to make our antihero suffer for his mistake... there where 2 guards at the door, who just a second ago controlled every bag!
It happened as it should in all stories with drunk people in it. He has chosen the time to live so, that the guards didn't give a damn. Phuh... said or antihero, when he noticed that another guard is standing at the gate just a floor lower. When he learned something in life (and from a lot of managers) then it is, that if you want to make a good expression, make the things they want you to do even before asking... So he opened his bag and showed it the guard. The guard looked into it quickly saw a jacket in it and didn't care anymore. Freedom!
I will be feeling always guilty when I will drink from this glass. Thats my penalty from life. And I'm 99% sure, that I won't do it again.

Take care!

Reclaimer: In Slovakia it is NOT a normal thing to steal!!! If I wouldn't be drunk I would think about that, as it is a beautiful peace of art, and I have in my room just a 0.5l glass, and to buy one is quite expensive. But I really wouldn't have taken it!

Money above quality


This topic was inspired from the happenings with the Petőfi radio, which was an organic part of the last 5 years of my life and was... well how should I say... innovated... upgraded... was given a new face..

Petőfi was the only Hungarian radio I was listening to (the 2. radio I use to hear is FM4 which is an Austrian... how to define... a multi language (English and German) non-pop radio).
It represented a unique program by taking apart various topics from every aspect of life. From literature to science, from religion to philosophy and also music and health care. Of course it is easy to talk about these topics, the difference that this radio made to all the non-existing such radio stations was the preparation of the reporters. Basically every topic was moderated by people who do the job for a few decades knowing the ppl, which can talk about the topics in an interesting way.
For me it was the only program in the mass media, which had still a value.

I remember, I started to hear Petőfi when I was around 17-18 and at that time I was up till 1-2 a.m. Because of the great topics I began t be up till even 3 a.m. Those where beautiful days.

The alternative which is now offered is a non-stop music radio. As it is said for the age from 18 to 39. I have to admit, that the music selection is not a common one from the offer which Hungary's radio stations give, but I believe it will change in 2-3 months as the commercial radios will take some steps towards these music styles.

Of course they want to make a commercial like radio, as they want to sell it.

So I let one tear for the past, for a radio, that was worth listening. (anyway the new laws will destroy the internet radio in the USA). So the radio will be slowly history. I hate to think of it.

Take care!

Bazant Na Mlynoch 2007 (Pheasant At The Mills)

- For those who may find this blog entry searching for info on the Bazant 2008 -> 30. May, Friday, Mlynska Dolina; main acts:
Puding Pani Elvisovej, Polemic, Hex, Horkýže Slíže, Aneta Langerová, Tina, Komajota
So come and enjoy -

Don't be suprised by the name... Pheasant comes from a Slovak beer brand called Zlaty Bazant (Golden Pheasant) and Mills is an abbreviation of a place in Bratislava called Mlynska Dolina. Mlynska Dolina is basically a small student city in Bratislava, with a few thousand students living there.
Bazant Na Mlynoch is happening every year, at the end of may. It is a one day event, with a lot of live performances from Czech and mostly Slovak bands. For me it is one of the best events in the year!!! As I enjoy hearing instrumental music I don't go to discos, cause I got annoyed by the music instead of enjoying it, and I have no real community with which I would go to concerts.

Anyway how does My bazant look like:

- I meet at least 30 friends I haven't seen for a few months. So I am with them, till it is fun, till we have something to tell, and then go on to find new ppl :)
- Enjoying the concerts. Not important if it is "calm" music or for jumping :)
- Drink a lot of beer :)

This year:
The worst part of it was, that one of my favourite live bands didn't came - Ciste Tvary :( The bass player was my schoolmate when I started studiing informatics in the University.
The bad part was the showman Sajfa - I never liked that guy.
The missing part - No Vidiek this year, so neighter they show, which brings a very good mood nor their hits: When it's 7 a.m I turn on my radio (Ked je 7 rano zapnem radio)... :P
The best parts of this years Bazant were, the two last concert where I was fighting myself into the first rows... I don't think I will do it again, but according to the circumstance, that my ankle still hurts a bit it was the best place for enjoying the concert (so I was seeing Polemic and Buty from the first line) :)

Anyway Buty as the finishing band wasn't a good joice. They are playing good music, I liked it a lot, but for drunken ppl who want to party there should have been a better music for dancing, after Polemic (who are real showman). Last year it was raining like hell, and Buty wouldn't be able to hold those ppl around like Kristof last year. Most propably this year 40-50% of the ppl would have left after Polemic.

I think this festival makes me feel younger than I'm. And most propably that's why I plan to visit it in the next years also.

Goodbye Klepo and Deny

Goodbye!

These two ppl were leaving last week, and I won't see them for a few months at least. Deny to Lithuania and Klepo to Pakistan.
I was a bit disappointed that Deny didn't make a private zeroth farewell party, with some old friends... or maybe she did, I just didn't knew about it. I was telling here this 1 1/2 month ago. Of course as in AIESEC always, you have too much to do.
And I was also disappointed, that I couldn't go with Klepo touring (they made a trip weekend into the Tatras), as I had a sprankled angle.

Anyway they hade a farewell party last thursday before Bazant. Around 20-30 ppl came. It was quite fun. I met an old friend, who I haven't seen for 2 years, and now she is with Klepo (poor them, as Klepo has to leave now :( ).
And I was talking alot with Medved about how and what to eat. We both read books in the last days about this topics, but from different authors. But the result of the conversation was that the books where talking about the same. Today the food we can buy does not contain half the vitamins and minerals the body needs, so it is important to start a diet.
In my book it was said, that today there is a quality starvation: you get a lot of fat and proteins, but the amount of the vitamins and minerals which enable your body to use the fat and the proteins is simply not enough. According to both or books a human should normally live 120-130 years long... So in the last days I try to get as many information about the food I eat as possible before I buy it.

But getting back to the main topic. I know Klepo now for more then 3 1/2 years and Deny for 2 years I think. I have a lot of memories with them, Klepo being the craziest guy I ever met developed during the years in my eyes to a person who thinks sustainable and creates respect very easily with his thoughts.
Deny on the other hand fascinated me at the beginning with her balance between work and fun. Which represents for me in a way the @ KE culture :) Being extremely responsible and on the other hand a friend.

I thank the world that I can count these people between my friends, and hope they changed me also to a better person.

I will miss you both! Take care!

Non-Stop Internet Access

I hate it! Now that I started to discipline myself this happens and makes my whole word break into pieces. I need to get the right motivation to start learning! I CAN DO IT! And integrate the internet as a source for work more then for playing! I just need to think at the right arguments and do the right thinks at the right time...

Movie review - The Fountain

In the last year, mostly because of the influence of Dino I started to watch movies which are not always easy to understand (if possible), or have a something special in them. Anyway a friend told me to watch the movie The Fountain,

After the first half an hour I was moved by the surroundings. Every small detail, every imagined place was so real, as in a dream - you know it's not true, but you believe it could be :) . Time to time I lost a few sentences while I was starring at the sight. But of course a good take is not enough, if you don't have the right sound. The story tells about a man and a woman. The man trying everything to save the woman who is dying, even if it would cost his life. A classic story, so it seems, but the jumps in space and time amaze me and make it interesting... The epic fight should continue. And while the woman assures the man, about the right choices, which is to wait and accept. This comes into conflict with the nature of people and so he fights, till he finally understands what his mission is.

As always in such films I was deeply touched at the end. If I could cry, I would split one or two pearls of water. I would like to be so sure also, when it comes to the decisions, that I can't influence. And hopefully I will walk in the first snow. :)
