Gil Scot Heron…a musical and social icon stemming back to the days of revolution in the 1970's…has departed this crazy little world of ours. His lyrics and message, however, will always be with us. No, brother Gil, the revolution will not be televised – at least not all of them. God speed good brother. ‘the…
Did you hear the news???? Bernard Munyagishari was arrested in the Congo for leading the militia's that killed 800,000 Tutsi's and moderate Hutu's in 100 days in 1994. He was on the run for 17 years before being captured just across the Rwandan border in eastern DR Congo. Rwanda. Where's that? …global south i think.
I'm not trying to soli pamet or anything of the sort…this is a genuine question. I have read many different versions. All but the Serbian version seem to say the same thing: Jasenovac was a horrible slaughter camp established by the Ustase/Nazi's. I constantly hear references to the Roma, Serbs and Jews being annihilated there. …
I have been trying hard to avoid commenting on any political budalastina subject…for both my own sanity and the fact that I have what I consider to be too many opinions on many subject matters. I'm trying to hard to have less opinions. Or at least caring less about vocalizing them. Nekad ide, nekad ne….
Sabina thinks I'm nuts. Perhaps she has a point…but I think this particular ‘behaviour’ is simply a sign of the times.

Although people still park on every piece of curb they can find in downtown Sarajevo, making it nearly impossible to navigate town with a child's pram (god forbid with a wheelchair), mid spring in this town is simply pure bliss. Maybe it's like that in any town…I couldn't really say. But Sarajevo in April, and…
I was raised a Catholic with a fairly traditional Irish-American upbringing. Church every Sunday. Communion. Confirmation. Bible lessons and the lot. It's true…i have strayed from the path of the ‘only God'….but I still very much respect tradition and the integral part it played for my wider family. So as a psuedo-Catholic I must say…
They say no news is good news. Not sure what I really think about that. I've opened up my new post section every day since the competition…which i think goes to our Apsurdistan nominator…and nothing comes to mind. Either that or mrsko mi je to write about what is really on my mind. Although it's…
