Renaming BiH

Objavljeno 30. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / 10 komentara za Renaming BiH

Just when you think it couldn't get worse…..it does. I don't think we need another entity. I think we need a large barbed wire fence and a new name for Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are taking new names and nominations from anyone who cares to vent. I vote for Veliki Jagomir.

Now I really need your help. So please, any of you from this part of the world feel free to tell me if I'm craZy or I simply just don't get how things go here. Quite some time ago a guy rammed his car into mine causing about 400 KM worth of damage. Apparently he…

International everything days….

Objavljeno 22. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / 2 komentara za International everything days….

Forest Day. Down Syndrome Day. Water Day. We have all these ‘international days of something’ all the time. I find it rather bizarre. Does anyone else find this human habit to be slightly ignorant? I fully understand and appreciate the need to raise awareness and bring attention to many social issues. I am also well…

The IMT report….

Objavljeno 20. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / 2 komentara za The IMT report….

Although some of my guide book readers have criticized me for being blinded by my love and admiration for the luda land called Bosnia and Herzegovina – I always felt i was able to be objective enough for my words and sentiment to be accurate. After the research report by the World Economic Forum placed…

krokus’ have gone….

Objavljeno 17. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / Nema komentara na krokus’ have gone….

There are three options here. Either they read my mind. Read my blog. Or simply decided the eye sore in our back garden was even too much for them. The garden, nonetheless, is a spotless oasis. There is not even a single leaf out of place.  It has restored, even if just slightly, the hope…

excusez moi mes amis!

Objavljeno 15. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / 1 komentar na excusez moi mes amis!

I feel as if I've been rude. I still really don't have much of a clue who reads this and why….but nonetheless I enjoy your company. So….good morning to you good people. Sabina poignantly reminded me that when we were stateside for our extended holiday that I didn't write a word. Upon return to BiH…

Damn the dams

Objavljeno 14. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / Nema komentara na Damn the dams

I wish I had a photo of the hydroelectric dam on the Zeljeznica River near Trnovo. Then I wouldn't need to write a word. The old cliche that a picture is worth a thousand words would certainly hold true on this occasion. But being that I don't have a picture – here are my words….

Spring Crocus/Krokus’

Objavljeno 13. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / 5 komentara za Spring Crocus/Krokus’

Below us in our flat in Dobrinje live two doctors and their daughters. They all seem to be nice enough people. For some reason their career choice and assumed level of eduction led me to expect certain things. Prejudice on my part? Absolutely. So the winter snows have quickly disappeared in the last few days….

A just as interesting answer to Bojan Bajic

Objavljeno 11. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / 1 komentar na A just as interesting answer to Bojan Bajic

There should be no doubt that many people here will disagree about many things for a long time to come. It's in our DNA code to disagree. But if we are going to disagree….this seems like some of the most civilized exchanges I've experienced in a great long while. This article was also published on…

happy 9. mart

Objavljeno 9. Marta 2011. od strane timclancy / 1 komentar na happy 9. mart

I went to DM yesterday to get a few things.  Sabina was with me, milling through the baby food section to see if some new yummy organic treats had hit the shelves. They hadn't. But that's beside the point. When we went to pay the very courteous cashier tried to give us a rose. I…

What is cista namjera

Although i have become an honorary balkanite, one thing that truly bothers me is how distrustful we are of each other and how quick we are to criticize without necessarily knowing all the facts. I will certainly criticize...and rant & rave about the environment and other things that get ispod moj koze. But i promise to do it with the pure intent. No lies. No bull shit. And entirely open to criticism.

about me

I am a semi-nomadic global activist...bosnaphile, ecologist, hiker, writer, new yorker/sarajevan. Bosnia and Herzegovina has been my home after i hitchhiked from Germany to BiH on Christmas day 1992. People always ask me what was the hardest thing about coming to Bosnia during those times. My answer is always the same...'leaving!'

What about you?

This blog isn't about me. It's about us. I'd love to hear from you...your comments, complaints, suggestions, passions, fears, whatever. What I'd rather not have is a stupid nationalistic exchange on who did what, when. I'm not interested in finger pointing but constructive dialog. If you happen to be one of those negativci...leave your negative energy somewhere else please. Hvala.

BLOG REQUESTS

I have already received comments from some of you asking me to write or comment on certain issues. That, in fact, is what this is all about. I welcome requests to write about certain topics...and if i can, i surely will. Feel free to ask me to address specific topics.
