Ticking of biological clock is obviously bullshit!

1. Because a 67-year-old Spanish woman gave birth to twins! Furthermore there are many other "granny moms" proving that it is possible to have kids well into the sixties.
2. So girls if you are willing to take the chances, you can put career first.
3. You also have proof that "the ticking" is just another false argument your mother uses / will use to get what she really wants - to brag about her grandchildren!

Just trust the government ... NOT!

Legal state has outgrown itself in Slovenia! It is inefficiently dead or dead because of its inefficiency.

• Is a claim I can very easily prove on an example that happened to me very early this morning. After coming home a bit late and finally going to bed at 2 am, I was abruptly awaken at 4:05 am, by the sound of a car horn spreading its "pleasant" sound into the otherwise calm, freezing air outside. The problem was that it just didn't stop. At all. So I got out of my warm bed and investigated what happened. It turned out, that somebody left a f.....g hyundai sonata parked next to a building under my window. Illegally of course, because the car was almost in the middle in the road. For still unknown reasons, the f.....g electronics of this f.....g Korean car, came to a very short wired conclusion, it would be ok, to leave the horn screaming into the night continuously. Just as I was about to grab the phone to call the blue reinforcements, I had a stroke of luck. My father was already dialing The number. I knew it may take a while for the "huge" problem to get solved, so I inserted my earplugs and was soon back in the land of endless clouds. I woke up at around ten and to my surprise, the first thing I heard when I removed the earplugs was the all to familiar f.....g sound. I checked with my dad and he explained that cops arrived and discovered that they can't do anything about it. My first reaction was laugh, which soon stopped because of the f.....g beeping sound was still piercing my nerves. I couldn't believe how the poor creature in blue couldn't find a reasonable legal basis for removing the f.....g Korean piece of junk. The most simple one for his poorly connected brain cells would probably be that half of the car was on the middle of the road. Yes mister police officer sir, even the city constables have removed cars from exactly the same spot. Another really obvious overlooked logical conclusion was that a honking car at 4 am is a disturbance of public order. I have seen many parties, taking place at 4am, but none of them was louder and more distracting to neighbours than a constant 120dB beeeeeeeeeeeep. Or did the poor guy think that he needs someone he can put handcuffs on in order to do something? It is probably quite possible that, that was the only thing he remembered from his 180 hours training. Or maybe he was just sleepy and tired... well, we really should remember how vigilant and important job the police is doing when they will go on strike in the following months, demanding better payments for their invaluable contribution to the society. Oh, and dad said that he did have a go at solving the problem. He whacked the f.....g piece of car a few times in hope of it stopping. Again, Mr policeman sir, you can't treat people and objects the same. People stop jelling, because it hurts them. Cars can't feel shit.
• I got a bit interested in this drama so I proposed to try with city constables, responsible for removing wrongly parked cars. Well, not surprisingly they said they can't do anything because they got the call at 4am, and said that, no matter how intelligent, they have to follow the police way of "thinking". It doesn't matter if the car is parked wrongly or if they removed a car from the same location a week ago.
• Because the tragicomedy got a bit boring we also tried the great administration of Slovenia, more precisely the environmental inspectors. And they were excellent. At giving you numbers of other organs which should be able to solve the problem of excessive noise pollution. So after three calls you were always back to the number you called first. Great job lads, I am glad we spend more then 400 billion tolars a year for your salaries!
• After finding out that in Slovenia you have to follow the directions of the mighty, all powerful police, which is the most lost organ around, I had a last go at chatting reason with them. After the guy on the other side finally got where the loud f.....g car is located, I have tried to explaine to him why they can have the car removed. He seemed quite reasonable and said he will pass the problem forward.
• I had enough of the screaming beeeeeeeeee, so I packed my stuff and went to NUK which has the most quiet library around. It was also quite empty, so I had tranquil four hours of really pleasant silence. When I returned home, the f.....g piece of junk was gone. I don't really care how or why!
• Next time something like this happens, I will call a few neighbours and friends and we will dump the f.....g Korean piece of electronic wonder into Ljubljanica. Lets see if it beeeeeeeps there. And no, I don't care if that is a criminal offense, a number of minor offenses and a violation of public order. Why? Because I now know the capabilities of the people who should prove that we did something bad, by doing that. For crying out loud, they couldn't even solve a f.....g beeeeeeeeeping car "problem"!

LOT$ of CA$H!

Today I was a bit surprised to see a lot of policemen, professional security personnel and strange looking people with many armored trucks in front of the drama theatre. After a short while the hamster in my head started spinning the wheel and the typical mafia movie scene got totally logical: The car exit of the Slovenian central bank vault is located there and it is time to get all the "Slovenian" euros to the banks... But unfortunately, the hamster over spinned the wheel so I started asking myself useless, but amusing questions:

1. How rich would you have to be to have all your property carried by an armored van... if you were stupid enough to change it all to 100 euro banknotes? Well, they usually pack banknotes into packs of hundred, then ten of these are packed into a bigger stack which is around 5 cm thick. Then they use these "bricks" to create a moneybox. I guess they can fit two of these into a van ( two square meters) so if we skip all the boring math, lets estimate they can neatly and safely pack around 60 million euros in 100 euro banknotes into an armored van. ( I stand here to be corrected). Which means much of the Slovenian elite ( for example the current Ljubljana major) would have room for their mother in law as well )
2. So how many vans would the guy, who had a lot of stocks in the worlds most lucrative monopoly, need? According to Forbes Gates is worth around 50 billion dollars which is 38 billion euros... and it would take a convoy of 630 vans to carry it all. And I do hope the guy isn't too stingy to buy his mother in law a private vacuum sealed van.

So how many vans do you feel like filling in your life? ;)

Freddie Mercury

• Is a legend. ( click for a shorter way to wikipedia) It is 0:30 written on the lower right part of my PC monitor. I am tired. But can't go to sleep. Why? After a really long time I finally found some music that gives me goose bumps when I listen to it. I recommend listening to all his works listed in wiki article. I still can't decide if I like Barcelona or Bohemian Rhapsody best. Really deep, perfect voice, full of meaning.
• I really don't want to brag, but I think that I really had a lucky hand when I chose to pay extra five thousand tolars - 20,83 euro ;) , for sennheiser stereo headphones. I am always amazed at how many details lay hidden in the best music works and how only quality speakers can reveal them.
• Don't worry I am not going to become an Audiophile and start buying this kind of stuff.

Well, at least not really soon anyway ;) .

Is failing to plan, planing to fail?

• On December 30Th this year I am going to do a radical change! I am going to start to plan my life in far greater detail. Why 30.12. and haven't I done planning until now?
• Well, I agree, that making new year a fresh start is something less than intelligent because the date itself has little or no logic behind it. So it is better to choose your own "I will change" date instead of having it forced to you. I am still considering 29.12 :) . Free choices are also crucial to personal happiness, because no one can feel the satisfaction of completing planned things on a certain day, for me. Furthermore, using my given time more optimally, should help unleash my potential... and before I start sounding like a philosophical self-help guru, lets get to the practical details...
• I don't want to become a freak obsessed with planning every minute of his day. For example if I feel like brushing my teeth for an extra minute / or going on a short coffe break with a friend I met on the street my daily schedule shouldn't suffer for it. On the other hand, I want to know how I invested my most valuable asset: 16 hours of being awake. The idea is to decide which things are important for me daily and do them right.
• I am still deciding if I should make my planning digital or very analog - paper planner. Currently I am downloading some personal organizer software and hopefully some of it will be useful. Perhaps I will even go for the planner that my mobile phone producer supplied. Or get a PDA. ALL IDEAS/EXPERIENCES/STORIES ARE VERY APPRECIATED! Update: Saddly technology feels so useles compared to paper & pen sometimes.
• But as always, the philosophical question remains... will I really fail if I am less efficient and leave certain things on the sidetrack? I believe that the best way to find that out is to leave philosophy on the sidetrack and try it!

Dear diary!

Yesterday, dec 24. was another lovely day. When you open your eyes and the first things you see is sea and sunny sky, you know it is going to be a good day. After breakfast I sat in my artificial solarium ( using the balcony glass door as reflective surfaces ) for a good hour, reading about international economic law. A very interesting well written book. After a good dose of sun, me , Fotr and Peter, finally started departing for Črni kal and its spectacular climbing walls. We departed an hour latter but reached the walls at quarter past twelve, which isn't so bad. The weather was phenomenally warm and sunny so I spent most of the time, wearing only my climbing T-shirt. ( with Everest logo ;) ). We managed to climb four interestingly named routes ( Johnny Bravo, Scooby Doo two of them, others are in my climbing diary...) and it was really interesting to see how tough little cousin Peter is when it comes to solving climbing puzzles and pulling himself over overhangs. Knowing it was his first time on real climbing walls I was impressed. Still am. Dear diary here is a picture for you:

We had a quick lunch in Črni kal and then we were of for Ljubljana. The disgusting fog caught us in Postojna and didn't had no intention of leaving. We didn't really care because we were too excited about Christmas eve. When we came home, mom was already filling the kitchen with steam and delicious flavours. I helped prepare the table, fetched the mail, which was really thick with Christmas card. Obviously e- mails are not as popular as I thought. And then I went to my annual mass. Yes annual. Why? I don't know? Why not the real deal at midnight? Because I really disagreed with what the priest preached last year and hoped he wouldn't be so political at the small-children mass. And yes, he wasn't political, he was scary. In the light of the recent judgement against a priest accused of pedophilia, he was just a bit too convincing in explaining how cute and lovely little children are when you are close to them. His pitching voice and a "guci - gucci - gu guce" gesture didn't help me either. But who am I to have such sinning worries? Dear diary, I do pray, dear Lord will make things right. Anyway, next year I am probably returning to politics. Otherwise the mass was a great piece of Christmas tradition. So I probably do qualify as a pseudo christian? Traditionally we had a "Christmas programme", and Peter and mom, did a great job this year, because again we had a lot of warm laughs fill the flat throughout the night. Not to mention the excellent food. And the gifts. Dear diary, I am still fascinated how low economic and high in emotional value they still are. And this is the point of Christmas, right?

• Sometimes, I miss my diary. After reading my 10 year old records, I wonder how my diaries will look in 10, 20 or 50 years.

Stuck in traffic? Robots to the rescue!

• Ever got really stuck in traffic? Having to spend an hour to travel one kilometer? Tired of constant acceleration and braking? Hate the feeling of being stuck just because idiots don't know what red light means and successfully clog the entire city or they seem to crash in the totally wrong spot?

• My favourite way to deal with such problems until now was a bicycle. Cheap, clean, fast, quite reliable ( except for when you have a flat tire or it gets stolen), even keeps you in shape a bit. But the weather and future job needs ( suit) are surely going to force me to change my habits.

• So will I have to go through daily nervous breakdowns, being stuck in a car and finding free parking spaces or will I go to overcrowded public buses?

• Hopefully none of the above. Because for every problem, someone is trying to invent and sell you a solution. And for this problem, I found an interesting ULTra solution. I really like the idea.Will we buy it?

Middle of Nowhere!

Feeling like getting away from it all? Hate the crowds? Try this:

Ducie Island.

Small, uninhabited, very isolated atoll in the middle of the pacific ocean. ( The small dot in the middle of the picture! )

The only distraction you are likely to get is from very lost sailors! The closest inhabited land to it is Pitcairn Island, good 300 miles away, which has a whooping workforce of 15 men and women! I wonder if you can order a pizza? Ducie is in fact so far from anything, it forms one of the 3 points that define point Nemo.

• You thought globalisation made the world smaller and more accessible? Knowledge wise yes, accessible not. And it should stay like that!
• I will probably put this destination to my do before die list. Why? Because it is a perfect example of Iter by itself - Let the way there be The destination. Want to come along?

BTW: If you damage my watch on Ducie, I will be able to legally pursue you all the way to the House of lords! ;).

THW support FWB ( friends with benefits )

In the ever more demanding world, individuals are forced to work harder and work more! Therefore they have less and less time and energy to pursue a romantic relationship. But in spite of all of their hard work, beneath their nice business suits they are still humans. And human blood carries many different hormones. Certain organs, (yes we are talking about brain :) ), understands these hormones as a very simple message: I want sex. And because these individuals are mostly too busy and have little time and energy to have a loving partner, that eats up their precious time and energy, they usually end up having very little or no sex at all. That makes them feel unsatisfied, unhappy and thus less efficient in their profession. Furthermore they are more susceptible to stress and diseases. To make individuals happier and more satisfied, we should drop a big burden the catholic, puritan tradition weighed upon the western world by defining friends who have unconditional, unbound sex as a sin. We should support this stress reliever by giving tax cuts to hotels that rent rooms for a few hours and leave condomes on the pillows instead of chocolates. We would also give tax cuts to all who help bring people together, dating services or seduction programmes alike... By ajusting certain policies, we must show that having sex is not a sin, but something essentially natural. There are two main reasons why we should do this: 1. Improving individual happiness and health 2. Freeing the society.

1. By giving everyone better chances to do what his/her body needs and desires we get happier individuals, that are not slaves to their unsatisfied needs and drives. That means you get a psychologically more stable, more effective individual, which can according to Freud do much more for others because he isn't overwhelmed by focusing on himself and his confusing unsatisfied needs. But even more importantly sex is also great for your health. All the medical researches show that individuals that have enough safe sex are also more healthy. A recent study by Queens university revealed that people having enough sex have a reduced risk of heart disease, lose weight, have better overall fitness, have reduced risk of depression, finds that sex is also a good pain-relief, causes less-frequent colds and flu, enable better bladder control, makes teeth more solid and reduces the risk of prostate cancer. We believe that individuals, we are freeing, are responsible enough to have safe sex, because STD are currently declining in the western world and the health benefits of having more sex are enormous, and would consequently decrease the costs for health system, because fewer people would have the mentioned health problems. Another consequence would be happier and more productive citizens, which can create more and better, because they aren't frustrated or overstressed. And that is why it is important to realize that friends with benefits are beneficial individually and socially.
2. Society should be free of the false norms of catolic, puritan tradition. Having sex is not a sin or something bad, having sex is normal, natural and can be lots of fun. We shouldn't condemn a behaviour, science says is natural. We should condemn ways of thinking that say something that brings us pleasure and happiness is a sin. We should decrease the so called moral limitations and obstacles society is bringing upon already stressed individuals who need sex. If there are fewer limitations or there is support, then logically more individuals will get some. And it is a very good idea for a society, if individuals get some, because the consequences of that is that we get a more relaxed, stress free society. A good example why this works is comparing two monkey species, that are genetically quite similar to us. We have chimpanzees that have a strict social organisation where only dominant males can have sex, and their society is very violent and stressful to live in, because they are always fighting for sex. On the other hand we have the Macaques species that have sex as a way to decrease stress levels - whenever they want. Their society is more peaceful, because there is always a pleasureful way to let of steam. Even the famous sexologist Kinsey reported that because these monkeys use sex as a pressure reliever, their society creates more happy individuals, that cooperate together more effectively. Consequently supporting this plan brings the society satisfied individuals that are not driven by their unsatisfied needs and desires, but are more free to cooperate on common projects and achieve more by working together. Furthermore by decreasing stress and frustration in individuals we also get a less violent society. And I would like to hear a reason why more violence and crime is good? So to free the individuals from the wrong, puritan ideas and to free them from their personal frustrations, it is very important to support this motion.

• To sum up, supporting FWB improves individual happiness and health and frees individuals and the society from irrational ideas and frustrations caused by lack of sex. Lets help our citizens satisfy their most basic needs safely, instead of frustrating them by creating obstacles for them.

I would like to ask every debater that isn't too busy or "on debating holidays" to help me, by giving suggestions/comments on how to improve this plan ( structure, matter, arguments, more examples where...).

Relationships explained!

Did you start to believe that the magazines are right and relationships are something so complicated it can be a headline topic again and again? Well, I don't. Relationships between men and women can in fact be so simple they can be described by four very simple, high school equations:

1. smart man + smart woman = a romantic relationship
2. smart man + stupid woman = an affair
3. stupid man + smart woman = a marriage
4. stupid man + stupid woman = a child

So there you have it... If you don't get it then your wife or your child will hopefully explain it to you!

My definition of: most fun with your clothes on.

Les2alpes, perfect slope, excellent snow conditions... if it doesn't work click here. I am only going to post Google video links for other parts of definition... ( Google has uploading & linking problems and I don't have a whole day). I also like mountains, especially if they can be climbed, and even more if they can be descended like that: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6229079883964199446&hl=en . - My camera is still in one piece. Back to skiing. This year I discovered, that snow parks are a lot of adrenaline fun. Flying through the air with your skis is a really special feeling: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3854420434060252839&hl=en. But simply isn't on the same level as real flying. In its purest form - a tandem parachute glider from Krvavec. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4948817448493705296&hl=en Luka, thanks again!( if you want to try it with a safety freak instructor, contact me and I will give you his contact details). When I grow up, I will hopefully have enough time to take up this amazing sport. Back to skiing, again. Because of its low weight and extremely narrow, carved turning I got really fond of 1m long skis ( r= 6,5 m) . Because they are really easy to carry around, I also love to take them to mountain peaks and descend from them - "turna smuka". This is a very unusual, a bit icy descend from Storzic : http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1489284471098600508&hl=en And another unforgettable ride from Jalovec shoulder: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3862069028894694062&hl=en. There are many other videos stored in my head, but even Google, can't seem to find a downloadable link :) . Anyway, I am looking forward to extending the definition. PS: Many thanks to Marko, Tone, My Hand, Peter and Luka for helping me catch all these moments on camera.

Just a night out...

And here are The quotes of the night: ( in order that should make sense, although they are all from women... deuce doesn't have gender)

1. I didn't get drunk for the past six months. - then this might get interesting...

8. I have the constitution on the backseat of my car. -every lawyers wettest dream.

Lots of fun...A few beers and its beneficial substances always help!

Happy Joe

1. Was born many years ago to a very average family. For the first year of his life, he seemed very average. He drank his milk and soaked his diapers. But in a few years it got obvious that the average Joe, from an average family had a problem. He couldn't keep up with the average growing up scheme the average government created for their average infants. Joe had problems with learning how to walk, so he crawled, he had problems with learning how to talk so he moaned, he had problems with learning how to eat, so he sucked, he had problems with learning how to think averagely, so he didn't. When the loving average parents couldn't keep up with Joe's needs, they were forced to put him into an average institution. They had to do exactly as all other average parents did in this situation. So poor Joe was put into an average ward and got an average treatment. Joe became an average subject in an average institution dealing with little less than averagely developed individuals. Joe's average parents still loved him and tried to visit him as often as their average jobs allowed them. So just before Christmas, they came on an average visit. They brought him a very average gift. An average mickey mouse watch with a mickey mouse printed on the background. Mickeys hands represented the clock hands. Joe's reaction to the gift was quite average. He moaned and started squeezing it in his hands. But then his average father fastened the average watch to his wrist. Joe took another, a bit disoriented look at the average clock face. There he saw an averagely cute mouse, that seemed to move and wave to him. He didn't know how or why, but every second that happened, it made him feel extremely happy. And by the time it happened again he forgot what happened almost a second ago and made him so happy. So every time the mouse moved and gave him a wave he was surprised and happy again.
2. For the first time in his life he smiled, allowing his average teeth to shine. And never again was he able to take his average eyes away from the average watch face with a mickey mouse clock hands. He looked at it when he was having his average institution meal, he watched it just before he went to sleep and watched it as the sun awoke him in the morning. And he watched it every second in between. Average nurses in the average institution soon made a very average conclusion. Joe smiled and laughed all the time. He always looked as the happiest man on earth. Joe was special.

What makes you happy?

Farewell Misko!

1. I don't speak about my relationships. Even more seldom write about them online. But today, I am going to make an exception.
2. We met roughly eight years ago and from the start I was impressed by Misko's stable, simple and sea-deep blue attitude. You could say it was love at first sight. We gave each other wings and explored Ljubljana from a totally new, exciting perspective. With time, our relationship deepened, as we grew more and more accustomed to each other, letting us have even more freedom from the crazy world around us. Misko made me feel I could fly, because in his grasp I could lose all the worries, spread my hands and and enjoy the swirling wind around my fingers. (Titanic scene...)
3. For eight years we fought cold and windy days, got through scorching heat, over taken crazy paced world, waded through deep snow and avoided all the old witches that tried to jump into our path.
4. But like in all serious relationships, we had "the seven year crisis". Misko knew that the time is starting to erode his splendour and started acting grumpy and single minded. I have to admit, I got a bit bored with our relationship and started looking for new opportunities.
5. We talked things over and decided, it would be best if Misko had a complete make over. And after a serious operation, a completely renewed Misko stood in front of me. The operation was a huge success and Misko got almost too good for me in my eyes. Every time we were together, I felt as if I am not good enough for him, because he demanded a lot from me. For six months I tried really hard to keep up and got amazing feelings in return, but noticed how cocky he has become.
6. But as winter drew closer, our relationship got more and more unstable. We had a few minor quarrels, but I still thought we would get around them. Sadly, our fights escalated and once he threw me on the pavement in the middle of a crossing. I stopped talking to him, he was no fun anymore.
7. Misko obviously felt the same, because on a sunny Autumn Wednesday he left me, without saying a word.
8. World as I know it collapsed. It got so much harder for me to get anywhere. I felt so robbed, like something vital was taken from me.
9. After many lonely walks I got over it, and now I am in a fresh new relationship! Ljubljana feels magically accessible again. It will take some time for me to learn to fly again, but knowing that I am with somebody who will always support you, makes you feel excited to learn.
10. As for Misko, I got over him. But I must admit we had glorious eight years together, we had more than 550 hours of joy and saved an equal amount of lonely, walking-misery time to my feet.
11. Misko, I will never forget you! If you can do me a last favour, for the good old times, please crash the motherfucker that you ran away with, as hard as you can!

How would you feel, if they stole your bike? :)

News input

• Is uncontrollably big for an average consumer, or in fact anybody, especially if you put your remote controller and paper down and start whacking your mouse. There is almost an indefinite amount of sources, and these mostly recycle information from a few main ones. Then they add a few adds and "provide" it to us in a familiar form. As many before me, I often ask myself, what if the recycling over-transforms or eradicates the substance I want or need?
• The most persuasive answer to this problem is still, that you should always check as many information outlets as possible which are closest to the source of the information (example: Reuters, BBC feed...) and evaluate them with a lot of scepticism and common sense. A good sense of humor is usually very useful as well.
• The technology will always try to follow the demand. And the demand is to be able to follow the news input as efficiently as possible, because no one really has 10 hours every day to evaluate news. And I feel that the supply is already here or here...
• It may still have some limitations and operational hick-ups, but the sole idea of creating a programme that sorts all the vital input into a more transparent matrix or form is a brilliant platform on which further development will surely follow.
• So, it is a bit ironic, but the media that knits this news Gordian knot ( the Internet ), also provides the Alexanders sword to cut it. But in the end its up to us to decide if and how to use The sword.
