If you are a sensitive type, don’t read this…

The male part of our worship team, had one pretty serious discussion one Sunday, before the service started.
We were talking about the ways that we would like to be buried.
I shared with Sanyesz, the drummer man, that I have a fear of being buried alive, that is, waking up in a grave, and then, not having much to do, especially if they would bury me without my MP3 player.
So, we agreed that the cremation would be much better, and he said that he would like to be cremated and he would also like to have his ashes spilled into the Danube. I told him I would like me ashes to be spilled into some beer pool, ’cause, you know, that’s much better than the Danube.
Anyway, back to the subject, and that’s being buried alive.(if you feel uncomfortable reading this just stop, ’cause it’s not getting any better)
We talked about the cremation, right, and I thought that it is awful to be buried alive(especially without something to listen) but is it really better to burn alive?
Because there is a chance to wake up during cremation.
And then the solution came. Laci. Tha Pastor.
It is better to burn alive, because it is faster.
You see, he can find good in anything…

I said I’ll write some more about them, but  I’ll just let  you listen…

Yes,yes!
Croatia-England 3:2

Believe it or not, there were times when I was really looking forward to elections.
I was really thinking about politics, and it became some sort of a hobby.And I still often think about politics.
But, elections are coming this Sunday and I still don’t know who to vote for.That never happened to me.

I always knew who I’ll vote for, but these are the most boring elections since I  have the right to vote, and that’s like, 9 years now.
Pro-abortion, pro-life, pro-homo, pro-family, blah-blah…
Those are all good and valid questions, but you know what,this country will never ban abortion,so that makes that question meaningless.
I know, it’s important to state you opinion, no matter what,but it doesn’t make sense.
If any country, especially small country in Europe would ban abortion it would’ve been seen as a country with dictatorship, and I don’t really care about  that, but the politicians do,because we’re trying to enter the EU and NATO, etc, blah blah.
Isn’t it all the same, really?Don’t get me wrong, I am a voter, I would feel like I am  betraying myself if I didn’t vote,but really I don’t see a point of that…
Evangelical Church in Croatia encouraged the believers to go out and vote.
And that’s OK, in my opinion, but really, people in small countries are not being asked, we only need to harmonize every single law with the laws in EU and that’s it.

So, if anyone even reads this, and if you’re a Croatian citizen, please think about these questions, because, well, I know I mentioned abortion few times, but that is an issue that worries me, (although, I’m afraid that if we would ban it, only some illegal doctors  that do abortion would appear, as a result, and that would lead to infections and deaths of young girls), but I have to ask myself, what’s the difference between a
politician that’s says “Yes, we acknowledge the right to choose”, and the one who says “We are against the killing of the unborn children”(and I do see it that way), but does nothing about it?

OK, I’m done preaching for now…

We’re having a first snowy day this year so here’s a little mix that I think it goes with a day like this…

Hope you’ll like it and have the patience to listen

It goes like this

1.Johnny Cash’s version of “The Beast in me”

2.Calexico(I’ll write about this band more…)-Frontera

3.The Shins-New Slang( the song I can’t stop listening to for 3 years now…)

4.Iron&Wine-Ressurection fern-it’s a beautiful song from their new album “The Shepherd’s dog”

5.Mark Lanegan in Dylan’s “Man in a Long Black Coat” from the “I’m not there” soundtrack

6.Bright Eyes-If the Brakeman turns my way from this years’ “Cassadaga”

7.The Band’s Last Waltz…this one talks for itself

8.I hope you know the last one

I’m sorry that the numbers are mixed up…

You all waited for this too long…

You’re lives could’ve been much, much better if I did this earlier…

But, that’s life

Now, seriously, I present to you one of my accidental instrumentals, it’s only an improvisational piece, and I have to work on it…but although it has mistakes, and the sound is distorted, I kind of like it, and I hope you will too…

I have named  it “The Wanderer Theme” and it is on the right in the Box net
