Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and
hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

Birthday 11/03/2006
One more birthday of my own :)
Someone would say that I'm getting older... but I like to say that the oldage is not matter of years behind one's back but the matter of soul and state of one's mind :))
I didn't plan anything special for the birthday... but now, couple of days after, I have to admit that this was one of the best "birthday parties" I have ever had (even good as a party for my 18th birthday, the one in No Limit Club in 2003 and "Jungle one" the year after)!
Everything started at my flat - flat with a long tradition of good parties! Friends of mine started to arrive from 5pm... and around 7pm some 30 to 40 people were there! Starting with tequila, moving on with typical Serbian "rakija" (plum brandy) and finishing with some scotch brandy with beer and hot wine all the time, resulted in drunkenness as a kind of really good and quality preparation for the event afterwards!
...because afterwards we moved to the "Gaucosi" cafe / pub / restaurant (whatever), known by high prices and really good live bands performing both national and international music! Just one drink was enough to keep us in a high spirit all night long!

08 March 2006, Traditional Meeting
Every year this meeting takes place at Stefan's house! Stefan aka WoollkanuS has proved again that he is really one-in-a-kind host of this important event! Beside providing strong alcohol drinks and keeping the atmosphere on high level, he surprised us with home-made food and demonstrated his famous cooking skill!
Afterwards we went to the traditional party organized by LC Belgrade EF... and of course moved on with high spirit... as long as DJ hadn't started to scare us away with shitty music...
