I am ready for a drunken night in Zadar and will be departing towards my pub in about... well as soon as my hair dries off. I am getting lose today in order to have an excuse for not drinking tomorrow, in fact tomorrow I am taking the car with me, as a precaution.
I believe it is going to be a hell of a night, school being over and all the dull students coming back from their universities.
It is probably going to be very hard packing tomorrow and gathering all the stuff I need for my snow trip. I will probably end up forgetting something at the last minute as I did with my god damn passport I left on my kitchen table in Zagreb. But it is all been taken care of and the passport found its way safely in my pocket. Thanks to a good friend who was kind enough to go to my place and ship it with the first bus line.
The punk rock belt i ordered 2 weeks ago still hasn't arrived and I am slowly getting pissed and irritated. Wearing baggy pants without a belt while snowboarding can quickly bring you in a shameful situation if you get what I mean. Fortunately my darling offered me her own belt until mine arrives safely. I am so grateful and happy, she is so sweet...

Another post from the road
Hey there people! My favorite time of the year is approaching and in spite of the usual happiness from being able to spend quality time with my family, I am kind of sad because I will be apart from my darling for a whole week... Fresh powder on the snowy Dolomites might cheer me up but that simply won't bee enough. Another gratitude to modern tech for enabling me to keep in touch with her.
I am currently on my way back home from Zagreb and gathered all the necessary materials for my study and final thesis. The subject of the thesis is going to be Hedging and Financial Instruments such as Derivatives as a form of Risk insurance. I am at the process of gathering books and materials in order to read them before I leave for London for my internship. Another cool news is that the Dropkick Murphys ara playing in London during my stay there. There is even a slight possibility that my friends from Croatia will join me for the show. Let's go murphys.
Another problem during this time of year is getting everybody an appropriate Xmas present, which is kind of hard for me considering the fact that my mom's and little bro's birthdays were in November and I can't seem to find the creativity of originating another set of individual gifts. I kind of gave up yesterday and decided to buy something at the last minute in Italy. But fortunately I thought of a small Delicatessen store in Zagreb and bought the whole family a small box of chocolates, considered to be among the top 10 chocolate boxes in the whole world. Don+t even ask how much I paid for the God Damn box. It cost me a small fortune. Hope that the will like it.
I will be in Zadar for the next three days and leave for Italy on Saturday. A good thing is that on Friday there is a punk show and Pasi a band form Opatija are playing along with my bro's band again. Hope I wont get drunk and come home late. We need to depart quite early and the smell of cigarettes and alcohol wont help my father on his 12 hour or less drive. I probably wont exaggerate on the drinking, a thing I am not able to say for my brother.

A Proud Kid
The thing about my parents is that I really enjoy spending time with them. They really define the word cool even though occasionally we have our issues and people tend to piss off other people. But I can say proudly that we're a happy family.
I especially enjoy the company of my mom, we have the same personality and character and tend to enjoy the same things in life. The thing about her, that fascinates me the most is that we tend to enjoy the same literature and I am so proud once I give her a recommendation about a read and she reads it and likes it. Most of all when the subject book is one from the punk rock world I idolize and live by. She accepted and discovered that being a punk rocker means thinking differently in a positive way and expressing yourself in order to make a change towards a better and n+more moral world. Not a lot of parents get that and think about their kids attitude as delinquent, meaningless and short term. I am in it for life and she realizes it. I sometime think of her as having a punk rock attitude herself.
Actually during the time I dedicated to write this post, she is quietly reading and giggling to the wit of Jim Lindberg and his humorous parenting guide. I don't even have to say what she thought about Greg Graffin once she read his book/correspondence about religious dogma. She adored hem and still does today.

Shakin' Like A Dog Shittin' Razorblades
While the rest of the world is worrying about current political issues, oil spillovers, ecological hazard, war in Iraq, insurgent suicide bombings and other sinister and horrifying atrocities, I for once don't care that much. My mind is currently at another place, anticipating the outcome of tonights rendezvous with my darling. I was yearning for this day for more than two weeks and am still suspicious and frightened. I really got the chance to get to know her in the last few weeks, thanks to modern technology but it seems all to artificial.
I am on my way back home for the rest of the week and still don't know what to say to my family about the reason of my repeated, prolonged and sudden comeback. Who cares, the mind simply stops working rationally once it falls in love or is experiencing even a slight particle of the love germ. I can afford the luxury of being irresponsible and juvenile once in a while, I just hope it won't affect me in the long run.

Comeback Kid
Hey ho, I am back for two day to settle some stuff here and then it is back to Zadar. I believe it will be Thursday afternoon after collage. There is a lecture about studying abroad and I am very interested in that as you probably know.
The weekend was very drunk and full of fun stuff and hilarious people. Saturday culminated with my brother overdrinking himself at about 11 pm puking all over the place and just being a zombie. I wanted to drive the poor bastard home but fortunately my friend offered to do it instead, she not drinking and all. I must have looked funny holding the car keys and a bottle of beer at the same time. She was mercy full, because I would have ended up without a drivers license and maybe a limb or a head. Anyway, worth the effort...
Once again a big thanx to Vedrana for driving me back and forth.

Born to lose
Oh my god am I feeling Johnny Cash lately. I really don't know is it the weather or what but his songs just fit... The ultimate rebel and outlaw, heh....
I am leaving for Zadar this afternoon, because my friend id visiting her boyfriend, so she kindly offered a ride home. It is probably going to be quite nice to visit my friends and family, even for a single day. I might get a chance to taste some of my moms cooking, if I am fortunate enough. I am also facing money problems because I have been on a spending spree, being Xmas time and all. I got a hold of quite some cool apparel and am really excited about it. I'm not regretting it one iota.
I also started reading the book The Punk Rock Dad written by the author Jim Lindberg , the prominent lead singer of one of my favorite punk rock bands Pennywise. The book is an amazing retrospective of his life, the beginnings of the band and his maturing from a deviant adolescent to a responsible family man, still sticking to his guns and not forgetting his roots. Most importantly the book presents an handbook for future and current parents based on his experience with his three daughters, which in his own words changed his life completely. Here is a sentence i particularly like, and think describes the book perfectly: " It's kind of someone warning you when you are about to go on a particularly frightening roller-coaster ride or you're about to watch an extremely scary film. Of course you should go; they just warn you that you're probably not really prepared for what you are getting in to...."

The Catcher in the Rye
I just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye for the second time and simply adored the book. There are quite some attributes about Holden's personality that I can assimilate my self with. We are both atheists and are reluctant towards violence, thats being pacifists and all. Another similarity is that we both tend to react and experience things emotionally.
The first time I read the book was in high school, which was part of compulsory reading. I now think that I wasn't mature enough to appreciate and comprehend the book fully and am glad that I decided to read it again, only this time in its designated language, English. I find that a literary piece is best experienced and enjoyed in the language the author has written it.

Is it normal
I couldn't seem to notice all the bodybuilders in the gym, all looking like they were chunked out of a fucking mountain. I mean, in my opinion this is not normal and I don't think a person can look like that without using additives that build muscles and are not natural. And besides that dedicating your hole day just to look like a gorilla is kind of absurd. I respect the effort and dedication, but a person can be healthy without that also. Besides that, I don't think that their sex life is that great, seeing stuff in the locker room makes me never want to be like that.

Aspiring Excellence
Hallo there. It has been quite some time since my last post. I've been going through a rough period in life and just didn't find the time or to be more precise didn't want to find time. But I see that writing has been my passion and that I just couldn't bare another day without writing. It is also slacking my writing skills, something I will find quite useful or necessary in the near future because I am seriously planing on enrolling on a foreign postgraduate study and a patterned English test is necessary wherever the hell I go.
Just to show how serious I am I decided to write this quick post even though I am late for Gym practice and just to bee brief, training is going swell and I really feel the difference and will be quite ready for my snow session this Christmas.
Another thing you will find from now on on my blog is a lot of gibberish, because I plan to write as much as possible in order to bring my writing skills to perfection. Excellence, something we all aspire.
