OMFFSM!

An upbringing  so fucked-up that – if they were alive today – even the mighty Spartans would say “Goddamn!”.

I don’t know what’s worse; the fact that there are approving adults in the background who seem to enjoy themselves immensely (their voices are heard throughout the video),  or the fact that I started lol-ing and soon joined the fun…?!?;)

WEEKLY TRIBUTE
A small tribute to priorities. On the top of my list is to graduate before my birthday next year and I’ve already noticed my interest in the last two weeks or so (when I started) has noticeably shifted from all the things that interest me to only (well…mostly, but it’s a start!) those that I’ll be needing to graduate.

My topic, in case you’re interested: a sustainable zero-energy – or if possible even plus-energy (and notice how informational the article is) – residential area in a city (probably and preferably Ljubljana). Why? Because I strongly believe that starting the next industrial revolution is the only (for the time being, at least:)) way to successfully maintain and continue our lifestyles without any serious consequences; both to the abundance of options we have at our disposal as humans, as to, of course, mother nature.

…and someday who knows, you’ll might even quote me on this;)

Till then, I’ll leave you with another quote, a brand new one as a matter of fact…not exactly the bedtime story I had in mind last week:

There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it’s only a hundred billion. It’s less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
- Richard Feynman

WEEKLY TRIBUTE
A small tribute to conspiracy theories, big brothers, small print, corruption (yeah, this one seems more like a small-fish local matter, but it just might change a thing or two in EU’s policy on arms deals) and Eric Arthur Blair who saw through it all.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain! (Harvey Dent)*

*The best quote I could think of comes from a friggin movie I recently saw…something definitely ain’t right in this spinning dirt-ball we live on
