Anyway not really worried about that, my life is divided between school and work these days so that's nothing really interesting to read about anyway.

Just wanted to let you know that next Monday, June 29th, I'm leaving for the US again. This time I'll be there for only about 7 weeks but planning to do a lot of trips. Flying to Washington DC first, spending some time over there and then go to Boston. Again after some time there it's gonna be a roadtrip to Minnesota and if I don't get lost on the way I'll be staying over there for about 2 weeks. Planning to do some trips to places I haven't seen yet (such as Duluth) and to those I've already been to but forgot to grab my camera battery with (Lake Itasca). Well and after that back to DC again, do whatever for some time and then fly back to the Czech Republic in the end of August. Should be good.

Anyway everyone take care and keep up good work!

Anyway Ireland was amazing and now it's time for another trip. Leaving for Varadero, Cuba, tonight. Got to drive to Berlin first and then fly from over there...sucks! will let you know how it went.

leaving for Dublin tomorrow in the evening, finally! Can't wait to get on board of the plane and finally be there, hope it will be as sweet as I imagine it any recommendations for what to see or visit? All suggestions are welcome
My D80 is still broken, will be fixed on Thursday but yeah, that really helps, so I'm taking Konica Minolta DiMage A200. A little older camera but I'm sure it will do the job.

Take care

Anyway will try to dig up some photos from the harddrive so I can update again.

Take care

Anyway so yeah I graduated about a month ago, got 1 (A) from history, geography, english and politology and 2 (B) from Literature and Czech grammar. Well I could've done better a bit but I don't care at all since then life's been a blast, time flies by and it seems I haven't done anything at all. Well I got a different car, kind greenish Ford Focus, but that's not much of an achievement I guess
Well heading to Bratislava, Slovakia o Tuesday and I'm hoping to take some panoramas and night photos there so will see what comes out.

Enjoy the summer. Take care

I'm going to graduate from five classes - history, geography, social sciences, literature + czech grammar, and english so to get ready for all of that takes quite a bit of my time. Hope I succeed...

P.S. I've just seen a movie called Lord of War. If anybody of you haven't seen it yet I strongly recommend it to you it's one of those movies which are really worth seeing and which give you the right perspective how the world treats Africa and that politics means more than a life. Give it a try.

So first of all sorry for not updating and submitting any new work lately but I have almost no time at all! Fortunately I've been invited to a night photography event which should take place on Friday so I'm all excited about that and hopefully I will take some decent photos to submit

Otherwise life's being good (except that free time part) - I'm still alive, I'm attending school, I'm still dating Gabina and I'm still doing way more then I have time for - that's my try for an explanation for that lack of submitting lately. How are you doing?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned on my laptop today in the morning and the breaking news was that there was a school shooting in Tuusula, Finland.
Now I'm asking what's up with that?! I just don't understand why those people have a need to bring their guns to school and shoot at everything that moves.
To give you a little bit of statistics, there were 53 school shootings totally, 37 of which happened in the United States itself, 7 in Canada and 9 in other countries all around the globe. Over 100 people died for absolutely no reason, how can somebody justify something like that? And most of those guys killed themselves after the shooting anyway so what kind of a weird problem solution is that? Or do you understand it?...because I don't.
Some people blame computer games for those shootings, but I don't think that is the main problem. Yes, if you play Counter-Strike for 8 hours every day, it's getting hard to realize what is reality and what is only a game and I understand that those people might want to try it in real...except that there are no saves and respawns in real life.
So what would it be then? While talking about the US and probably also Canada I would say that the main problem is how those children are brought up. Lot of families have guns at home (viva NRA), partly because of hunting, partly to feel safe, parly probably because it's kind of a tradition to be able to defend yourself. And when you have a frustrated teenager who thinks that he can solve his problem the same way as he did it in Counter-Strike or as he had seen in that Hollywood movie, well I would say that's hell of a problem.
The question is what can we do about it. Ban all the guns and let only army and police have them? Well I'm sure that would work really well but a LOT of people would get mad so that probably wouldn't work. Put more security checkpoint in high schools? Well I would say that's technically impossible - too expensive, too many people needed and still I'm not sure if that would work (if you want to do something - bring a gun to school - you can always find a way how to do so). I don't know what else could be done, any ideas?

Looking forward to read your comments!

P.S. Absolutely off topic but my favorite band (Kontrafakt) has just recorded a new album - Bozk na Rozlucku. Check out their new song (Zivot je boj) on YouTube [link] Even thought most of you is not going to understand what they're singing about I think that the music and video is pretty good

]]> ~DarkwulfMN http://DarkwulfMN.deviantart.com/journal/15184265/ http://DarkwulfMN.deviantart.com/journal/15184265/ Tue, 23 Oct 2007 07:23:04 PDT I would like to talk about something what's been crossing my mind for past few months. For about a year now the United States of America are planning on building a radar and missile defence silo somewhere in central/east Europe region, as part of their missile defence system. The final pick was divided between the Czech Republic (radar station) and Poland (missile silo), but it seems that there is a little problem...we don't want that damned thing over here!
The problem is more complex, from 1968 to 1990 there were Soviet soldiers on Czech soil and after the Velvet revolution, we've decided to ship them back to Russia (surprise, surprise). Our thoughts back then were "we don't want such a thing to happen ever again," we have nothing agains involving our country in worldwide conflicts (our soldiers are both in Afganistan and Iraq) but we don't want soldiers from any different country to be stationed on our soil. Simply because 40 years ago we though that Soviet Union is our big buddy and what happened then wasn't that pleasant...not USA is our big buddy, but how the heck we can know what's going to happen in next 20 years or so...we cannot, that's the problem
Anyway our government would like to see that radar being build in the Czech Republic, simply because it might help our relations with the US. But people don't want it, due to a recent poll 70% of Czech population are against it. Sad is that our government still doesn't pay much attention to what people do and don't want, I don't understand it.
I'm personally not really sure what to think about this thing...I mean I wouldn't have a problem with having that damned thing over here, but it would have to be part of NATO, because only then we would have at least some control of what's going on there (if it would be only US radar, it would also be a US soil and we wouldn't be even allowed to go there), but that's exactly what Mr. Bush doesn't want to do. It has to be either his way or a highway, but he doesn't realize that if he wants that thing to be build over here, he has to communicate with us...he had visited our country in June, yesterday his buddy Robert Gates (US defence minister) arrived to persuade those "weird Czechs." Not sure what he will achieve but I doubt it would be a lot...
Anyway what is your opinion on such a thing? If you've never heard about this radar&missiles thing, how would you react if something like that was supposed to be build in your own country? I would like to know your opinions, maybe it would help to form my own, or at least we can have a conversation about it

Thanks for reading

something really interesting had happened to me today. I got off the bus and started walking towards my school. It's about five minute walk, not a big deal. Anyway once I passed the corner, I saw about five people standing in circle and looking down at something...they were looking at an Asian guy, who had been just laying there without any movement. Nobody did anything, they were just looking at him, only one lady was calling for emeregency.
I have only a basic knowledge of first aid, in fact I know only as much as is required for completing a driver's licence training here in the Czech Republic. Anyway I got there, turned him, checked if he is still breathing and if his heart was beating. He had to be drunk, you could smell that booze he drank probably not that long before that.
Anyway, he was still alive, but in few minutes he started caughing and then stopped breathing. Scary. One girl, who was originally standing there ran for a doctor, who was supposed to have her office not that far away. Emeregency was on the way, it's supposed to take them 5 minutes to get to you, but you know how does it usually look like.
I had to start giving him a heart massage (pretty much beating him in his chest) and kept doing that for couple of minutes, not sure how long it really was. Then the doctor arrived, checked him and said possibly the worst words you can ever here: "I think it's over." It came to us like a hammer, you can't imagine thoughts which went through my head at that moment.
Me and one more guy we kept doing that hearth massage and believe it or not, he started caughing again and moved a little bit. Short after that first emeregency vehicle arrived and it was over for me...went to school, had a coffee and took all my classes.
I'm not trying to glorify myself or look like a super hero, I don't even believe that I did that much. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows...

Several things about this fascinated me a lot. First was that those people were just standing around and doing pretty much nothing. Even when I was taking care of him, I saw people from my school walking right pass us, looking at what's happening, smoking their cigarettes and doing nothing. Just an interesting moment on their way to school, nothing else.
Second thing came later, in fact about an hour ago. Some people talked to me, told me that they had seen what I did and so on. I started thinking about it again and again. You know what was the worst moment out of all of them? Hearing that "I think it's over," and you're thinking "God, this guy was alive few seconds ago, he was perfectly fine probably an hou ago and now he's dead." And you were right there when it happened, basically you've seen it. Isn't it horrible? When you hear about death in TV, it doesn't mean that much, I mean yes it's sad, on the other side you don't really feel anything. But this was very different, very personal even though I've never met that person.
Well, not sure if anybody read the whole thing, it's probably really boring, but it's been a strange and very powerful experience. Hopefully it doesn't happen again!

So yeah, not that much fun, but I have only those classes from which I'm going to graduate from - history, geography, social sciences, english, czech grammar and literature, so basically only those classes I really enjoy.
Anyway I've taken some photos during this last weekend, but I didn't get a chance to download them yet. Because of that I've uploaded a photo [link] I had taken about two years ago at this time. Hope it's good enough for now

It's been already almost four months since I came to the Untied States this year, and it seems like it flew by so fast. Of course when I did into my memory, I can think about all those things I've done and then I know, that I've for sure been around for that long.
I don't honestly know if I'm sad or happy...of course I'm happy to go home and see my families, my friends and honestly even to go back to school On the other side I'm leaving a lot of friends here in Minnesota (you wouldn't believe how hard it was to say goodbye to all of them), which makes me sad, and of course I'm leaving my host family...even now I already know that I'm going to miss my two little american brothers - Brock [link] and Lucas [link] . I really love them as much as if they would be my real brothers and it's going to be hard to do stuff without them...sad but true.
Anyway I'm taking off tomorrow at 10 37 am CST from Fargo, ND, hopefully will manage to catch my connection flight in Chicago and then fligh to Munich. Then it's only about one more hour to get to Prague, where I should be on Sunday at 8 am CET (1 am CST).

Hopefully everything goes well and I won't get stuck in Chicago or in Munich...will keep you informed.

But what is fascinating me is how can such an event get stuck in our head that we all remember what we exactly did and how did we feel. I remember that when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center I was on my high school orientation, meeting my new class. We got those news while coming back from a soccer game and immediately all of us moved to the main lobby and watched what was happening. Yes we saw that tragedy, yes we saw that other plane crashing into the other WTC building and we saw both of the towers going down. Some of my friends were joking about it, but most of us felt that something tragical was happening, that this for sure shouldn't happen and that something is going to come.
Of course we didn't even think about all the actions which took place after 9/11 - huge hit for the airline transportation, invasion to Afghanistan and Iraq, huge boost in the everpresent security and overall the constant fear. None of that even crossed our mind and I think that nobody though what all will happen in next couple years.
When I look back now I see all that what happened and what makes me really wondering is how everybody exactly knows what they were doing when 9/11 happened. All of my friends can tell me exactly where they were, what they were doing or what they were eating at McDonalds and what the price was...and they usually can't even think of what they did today in the morning And it's not only about the 9/11, whenever something bad happens, everybody remembers everything - ask people around you what they were doing when President Kennedy was assasinated, or when the Columbine happened. I believe most of them will know for sure.
And that just makes me wonder, does always something bad have to happen for us to remember something? Why don't we remember what we were doing when Kosovo war was over, when the ISS was proclaimed operational (which I personally see as a big step in the history of mankind), or when President Bush for reelected (even though I consider that a little tragedy by itself...).
Let's make a little poll, what were you doing on 9.11.01? It might be interesting to compare...

Yesterday I got an Apple MacBook for a friend of mine, nothing powerful just Intel Core2Duo on 2 GHz with 2 MB cache, 1 GB DDR RAM, 80 GB harddrive and Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 950. Compare to my DELL (2 GHz Intel Core2Duo 4 MB L2 cache, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, 160 GB harddrive, ATI X1400) nothing really outstanding, but still there is a certain "magic," or whatever what makes the MacBook special.
To be honest the Mac OS X Tiger didn't attract me whole lot. It's a nice system, but after some 10 year spend on Windows (from 95 up to Vista Ultimate) I'm obviously used to something else. Some of the features are really nice, much better than in Windows, some are a little bit "different." I still find myself trying to close a windows pushing ALT+F4, but the only thing I'm actually doing is raising the volume
Did any of you have a chance to work with Macs before, or do you even own one? Which OS you think is better? And what you like/hate about Macs? They are either loved or hated, you hardly find somebody with an opinion somewhere in the middle.

I don't know but to me it just seems a little bit ridiculous. If I would a big tough (and kinda dummer) guy and the only think I would be able at is football and wrestling, it would for sure give me a great advantage both at high school and especially at college. Beginning with scholarships, did you ever realized how easy is it to get a sports scholarship (if you are at least a decent player) and how damned hard is to get a scholarship for something else? Or at least how much would the ammount be different?
Besides that, and I have seen in last when I was a Jefferson High School student, those guys have it much easier in classes. Let's face it, they are usually not the brightest students, but for them it is enough to be able to write and read and they get a "D" and pass. If you don't play a sport, you have to fight for your grade, study and do your best on essays and tests, so is there a justice? Is this the same opportunity for everybody?
I don't know but to me (and I'm a social guy with no talent for sports so of course I'm going to complain about this ) this seems just a little bit ridiculous. Shouldn't schools focus more on education than on a fricken sport? If you compare the knowledge of an average high school student here in the US and average student in a country where there are no school sports (pretty much whole Europe) you'll see that the no-school-sport student will score better. Why? Because the schools actually do what is their purpose, they educate people, they don't collect medals for winning some dumb local competition.
Maybe you have a different opinion on this and maybe you are right, let's hear it. I appreciate all the comments, it's great to hear your opinion.

Since I don't have a blog, and I don't really have an intention of getting one any time soon, I will start posting my thoughts and opinions on what's happening all around the world, over here on dA. All your comments are well appreciated and I will be more than happy to answer them, or explain my point of view more.

First thing I would like to think about is something which happened pretty close to the place where I live now - I'm sure that at least some of you have already heard about a I35W bridge collapsing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. About 5 people died, 50 cars ended in Mississippi river and part of Minneapolis/St. Paul transportation was crippled. From my point of view it's not that of big deal - statistically 5 dead peole isn't that bad (in Iraq more soldiers die ever day), even though I feel with all the families of both dead and wounded people. The fact that there is one bridge less won't cause anything else than that people will be late to get to their work before they get used to it and more of them will be forced to use public transportation. Again, nothing that terrible I would say.
But when you look around, and I'm not sure how it is particulary in your country, this collapsing bridge started an avalange of thoughts like "can it happen again" and "how to prevent it from happening." I saw George W. Bush coming to Minneapolis, having not very honest speech about the collapsing (I'm not his biggest fan, just to let everybody know) and proclaiming it almost a national tragedy (again, did he ever proclaim Iraq a national tragedy?!). Even in my homeland, the Czech Republic, people started thinking about possibility of the same thing happening back there, and as far as I know, special team was established to examine some 16 000 bridges we have over there, and take actions if they find something going wrong.
And now I'm asking myself, does it always have to happen something bad before people start actually thinking and taking care of the problem? And if yes, isn't it a little bit sad? Wouldn't it be simply better to think of possibilities in advance? Your thoughts and comments are welcome.

Otherwise things had been going pretty well lately, me and my buddy Martin we started working (again...) on a modul for AD&D, well and this time it looks like we might actually get it done sometime. This is like a 3rd time when we are starting pretty much all over again, but I see a lot of will to get it done. Will keep you posted.

Got myself a new laptop - brand new and pretty tuned Dell E1505 - but had to pay a loooot of $ for that now I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the summer, probably I'm going to end up eating leaves and grass, at least there is enough of it all everywhere
otherwise I'm leaving to South Dakota tomorrow, staying there for a week so hopefully I will get a chance to make some photos and finally upload something again after a very long time.

Means that I'm done with school for this school year (normally the school is done in the end of June) and I'm ready for my trip to Minnesota next week.
Just got back home from a weekend in southern part of the Czech Republic - me and my buddies, we went there to chill out a little bit before they will have to graduate this monday. It was really nice, just hanging around, playing beach volleyball, partying and thinking about past...well it was interesting

have a nice day...

That means that during this and next week I have to take like six testpapers, write two essays, give some presentations and so...not really sure how will I make it, and if I survive that, I guess I'm going to get plowed like never before
Besides that my work deadline is getting closer and closer and of course, I'm not done yet. I'm just wondering how am I going to do all this...I just wish day would have like 48 hours or so, than it might be a little bit easier coffee doesn't work anymore and that damned genetic ingeneering doesn't want to get into my head...Friday is definitely going to be interesting!

guess I should get back to my textbooks.

Well anyway on Saturday my country beated Belarussia, then on Sunday Austria, and about 10 minutes ago we won against the United States of America, and won the whole B group.
It's just kinda cool if you think about it - tiny country from central Europe beats probably the most powerful country on the Earth...it's cool feeling but on the other side I have to say that it was a really tought game, many times it seemed that we are going to loose, but eventually luck came to us... oh man, I'm just so damned happy right now, I just hope we will do as good job in the rest of the championship as we did so far. Will see

P.S. I'm leaving to Berlin in about 3 hours so there won't be any updates, answers or deviations. Coming back on Friday morning, and I hope I will bring some cool pics...have fun

It's just because by the time we get back home everything will be back in the old track, no more partying every day, I won't see all those awesome German, Hungarian, Polish and Italian people anymore, or at least for a long time...too sad, we became kind of a "family" during the last week. We just finished watching a video from the whole seminary and you know, it made me really sad...well, at least I will upload new photos, I made quite a few of them

Peace

It's really awesome here, I met some really cool people from the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Hungary and Poland. We are having a huge party every evening, everybody is dancing, having fun and to be honest I cannot count how many beers have I drank so far
During the day there are many seminaries about the EU, it's purpose, how it works and so, and we are playing some "games" to meet as many new people as possible. You know, the best thing about seminars such as this one is that you really find out a lot about the other nations. Yesterday I talked to a German who is Muslim and you know it was really interesting to hear his view on USA, war against terrorism and whole that terrorist crap. You just realize that all what had happened on and after 9/11 it because a few people who had a power to do it, and that you cannot take it on the whole nation or a religious group...
Yesterday we were in Cologne and I took some pretty good shots so when I get back home I will immediately upload them to DA so you can check out how did it go over here
Right now I'm working on a project called "Rasist, how can we deal with it." Me and people in my group (mostly Czechs and Germans), we are going to have a theatre play about it tomorrow and it seems to be really cool so far...will see how it goes

well have fun, I got to go back to work

It's supposed to deal with a topic "European Union and me," so I'm wondering how will it look like
Anyway I have no idea how will it be with the internet connection over there - we are supposed to stay in a place called Bad Marienberg (I checked it out on Google Earth and it seems to be really a tiny place) and I have no idea if they have any free wi-fi there - so we will see, if I'm able to update either my journal and some photos. Sure I'm going to take my camera with so you can look forward to some more photos either this or the next week. Will see how it goes.
Anyway, all of you have fun and if I won't be able to hook up to the internet, talk to you later.

Not really sure whether you like jazz or not, anyway it's one of my favorite music genres. The band which was there today is called Madfingers...it's a Czech band made of college students and to be honest, they are really awesome
Anyway, I'm supposed to get back to school tomorrow (sucks...) and it's already getting little bit late (around 1 am over here in the land of Czech)...I guess school is going to be really interesting tomorrow

well you guys have fun

Friend of mine had a birthday party yesterday (and today...), he turned 20. I guess all of you can imagine how could it look like...I'm so damned tired, I could barely get on the right bus in the morning. But the more important thing is that I realized how time really flies by. I met this guy when both of us were 13 and now he turns 20 and sooner or later it catches me too...and to me it doesn't seem that we know each other already for 7 years. Weird?
The worst is when I try to realize if there is anything significant what did I achieve in those 7 years. Well, I participated in some more or less interesting projects and I had success with some of them. I traveled a little bit, explored new countries, made a lot of new friends and saw many cool things. But still it wasn't anything awesome or unbelieveable interesting.
I can't help it but I have a feeling that before I realize it, I will be dieing and there won't be nothing what would I be proud of, left. Don't you have the same feeling once in a while too?
