Today is Statehood Day in Slovenia. On today’s day in 1991 Slovenian government passed intent of independence. Next day (6/26/1991) Yugoslav army attacked Slovenia by driving tanks on the streets.

However, let’s celebrate the good things.

Happy Statehood Day SLOVENIA!!!

Lyrics: Slovenija, Od Kod Lepote Tvoje (A.B. Avsenik)

Povsod kamor seže pogled,
lepota zasanjana,
kje najti še lepši je svet,
kje lepše je kot doma.

Se s hribov v daljave zazrem,
prek gričev, dolin, gora,
v daljavi še modro morje uzrem,
kje lepše je kot doma.

Slovenija, odkod lepote tvoje,
pozdravljamo te iz srca in srečni tu smo doma!
Slovenija, naj tebi pesem poje,
ne išči sreče drugot kot le doma.

Povej še oblaček ti bel,
obhodil že ves si svet,
je lepša dežela še kje,
kot naša, kjer smo doma.

Je vetrič veselo zapel,
preletel je prek sveta,
in takih lepot ni našel nikjer,
kot tule, kjer sem doma.

Slovenija, odkod lepote tvoje,
pozdravljamo te iz srca in srečni tu smo doma!
Slovenija, naj tebi pesem poje,
ne išči sreče drugot kot le doma.

Every time I see some movie or photos of some old war it always makes me sad. What is impressive is how people are so forgetful. For instance not that long ago UN was saying that it should never again happen on our watch. They were talking about Rwanda that happened 14 years ago. Five years ago the mess in Darfur started. I guess UN will make sure that the next war (5-10 years from now) will also not happen.

Similar thing is happening with other wars. For example Vietnam war started close to 50 years ago. And today, like people would not learn nothing from that war, there are more wars like that raging in the world. When will people learn?

Almost 40 years ago, two young guys John and Paul wrote the following song:

Finally, I saw the movie “Across the Universe” and I strongly recommend it to everybody.

Some of you young folks been saying to me
Hey Pops, what you mean What a wonderful world
How about all them wars all over the place
You call them wonderful
And how about hunger and pollution
That aint so wonderful either
Well how about listening to old Pops for a minute
Seems to me, it aint the world that’s so bad
but what we’re doin’ to it
And all I’m saying is
See what a wonderful world
It would be if only we’d give it a chance
Love baby, love
That’s the secret, Yeah
If lots more of us loved each other
We solve lots more problems
And then this world would be better
That’s wha’ ol’ Pops keeps saying

Louis Armstrong What A Wonderful World

‘So! You take let us assume a third toke; long and slow. You vaporise
and you take it in and in and in… and there is a sound like the
crumpling of a plastic bread wrapper or the crackling of flame and a
tone. A mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
and there is this…….

There is a cheer. The gnomes have learned a new way to say hooray. The walls, such they be, are crawling with geometric hallucinations. Very brightly coloured, very irridescent. Deep sheens and very highly reflective surfaces everything is machine-like and polished and throbbing with energy but that is not what immediately arrests my attention. What arrests my attention is the fact that this space is inhabited. And so like jewelled self dribbling basketballs these things come running forward and what they are doing with this visible language that they create is they are making gifts! They are making gifts for you and they will say …’
