OK so yesterday I went downtown with my wife in a car to get a fresh seafood from a specialized shop and now there was this guy crossing street in front of our car so I slowed down (obviously), but then he stopped. I realized he is barely standing straight and goes right towards our car (my first reaction was - shit, what is he gonna do, if he is high, he can walk over our car, start beating the

I have to say that I work in a company which has the most elaborated system of internal communication I have ever seen... lots of things which make your life easier on one hand and feeling like your are "playing for the right team" on other hand. On the contrary it has also some strict rules, like not allowing to install anything that is not approven by IT... therefore I see my last.fm proggy

"I am now in the phase of my life, that I will not get used to have servants." Moral of this story? Have servants from early youth, they will not be weird for you, when you get older. :o)

In the posthumously published diary by Jan Zabrana is somwhere written: "Changing the people around you for the books... But for how long? And what happiness from it? The only reason for it is that, there is no happiness from anything... And then it is right: changind the people around you for the books."

Up until today I thought that I have seen everything in a Prague tram. But not today. There was a guy sleeping on the ground right in the middle of the tram. He looked quite happy about it and nobody gave a flying fuck. I just thought whether he is dead or not, but then I saw how he was breathing. Well I fell asleep in the tram, too, when I was partying, but always on the chair, never lying on

Today we made a trip to Vienna for a Rene Magritte exhibition in Albertina Museum. It was quite good, I liked really much several of the paintings and I really have to say, that Walter Benjamin was in a way right in his The Work of Art in the Age of the Mechanical Reproduction, because I felt I want couple of those paintings, but knowing they will be just copies, because they have to be priceless

Matthew, 15... things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.” Especially with the last sentecne I would love to hear a doctor saying something on this topic,

Funny fact, I personally know only five persons who are on Czech standards filthy rich, but all of them acquired their wealth by honest business. When you would run into them on the streets you could see that they are rich only in small details (for example nice watches, nice glasses, etc.), but they are dressed normally and drive in Audi or BMW cars (standard car, nothing eccentric.) And when

Really long time had passed since I was at the doctor last time. Anyway few things: a) Today was my doctor working from 13:00 till 18:00. At 12:57 were sitting twenty persons in the waiting room. So I left home, spent the time at home and returned at 15:00. It was only me and one old man, who was bit deaf. b) You could hear that in the consulting room was someone speaking with the nurse. The

It seems really weird, but there were around me lot of my friends who  had long-term relationships (5 years and more) and if they did not marry, they split up and married the next guy (girl or boy) after couple of months being together.  The winner in this contest is definitely one of my friend, who told the girl on the second date he wants to marry her and have kids with her and what is funny,

Well this is marketing. On one adult content site had ad banner which said something as (what I would try to "translate" into nice language): "Beautiful young girl with penis." I really had to laugh, because more exact thing would be: "Beautiful young boy with fake tits." Anyway in the end it is only a matter of definition and I am sure that they are getting more money from the banners with

Last week I was telling my (today already former) colleague, that I am going to quit the job and go to a different company and that it is very "unpleasant" for me (that I am bit stressed how my bosses would take it, etc.). And she (because she was nearly 50 and very wise and cool) told me, that it is OK, if it is unpleasant for me, because it is unpleasant situation. The really big problem in

This was on my mind yesterday, when fucking cunt called MC Wrec not only ruined London Elektricity (AS USUAL) but he really had to shout his fucking retarded sentences like (make some noise, show me your hands, etc) also to great High Contrast concert!!

It is "natural" to not have any debts. For example whole my life I am trying to live without any loans, if I want something, I just wait until I have the money for it and then I buy it. But it looks like nowadays we all live (in so called Western civilization) in huge debt. The governments have debts, the people have debts. For example in Czech Republic the governernment have already debt 1,5

Well, dont know if it is possible - but probably it could be no problem - after reading one of Haruki Murakami's novel I was wondering, that it could be bit better if on your reading device you could hear the "sounds". This particular novel was full of references to classical music, the heroes of the book were listening the pieces, etc. Or when the hero was at the sea shore, the sound of the sea

Well I went to the insurance company and I had quite interesting conversation there. The lady there was asking me if I have television, how much it is, if I have computer, etc etc. Lets say that all the electronic devices were worth aprox 2000 euros and I had to give them photos and serial numbers, etc. And then I asked her about my library, what would happen in case of fire?

Well of course that the printed books will last forever, but maybe the printed book will be really exclusive (well maybe not as during the medieval age before the printing press, when one illuminated book was of a value of a house), but I guess that prices as 200 euros for book will be real one day... So what has changed so much? Well I personally own an ebook reader for couple of months and

Cecilia Bartoli was yesterday for the first time in the Czech Republic, Prague. She left me speechless and the only thing I can say, that she is truly a goddess. Bravo.

Only 3 % of population was taller than 180 cm. Nowadays in the Czech Republic (data from 1999) 30 % of population is taller than 180 cm. I was already writing about similair topic here. I am personally 187 cm tall. But

Recently I was wondering why I have almost no free space left on my Windows 7 system drive... I tried to free as much space as I could and then run the Auslogics Diskdefragmenter and what took my interest was there were thousands of jpg files in some kind of LocalMLS folder...

Funny fact: in Czech language is nobility "šlechta" and breeding is "šlechtění"; it has same language root. So with the fact that princ Charles is so ugly that they made fun of him even in the Simpsons series, we can tell that the last two roayal weddings of british nobility were in a fact nice examples of breeding. Thanks to Diana William is quite nice chap and with Kate, gosh, their kids could

Toady I read, that the Pope warned the world about technologies that they cannot be there for you instead of the God... Well really dont know how exactly he was thinking that, but maybe he is afraid, that in 100 years we will just upload ourselves on the cloud (you see there those metaphores of Cloud No. 9, right) and live for eternity... well something that was in the best anime ever Ghost in

I am now reading a comparative book about Wittgenstein, Husserl and Heidegger and the main topic is language. The author was at one page thinking, whether animals or very small children who are not able to speak yet are perceiving the world in the same way as we do. And that it is quite impossible (apart from watching your brain via MRI) to get what infants or animals thinks, simply because they

Although we have a television at home, we are not "watching" the TV programmes. We use it just as a screen device, through which we watch blu-ray disks, etc. But, anytime I am powering on the TV in the evening, there is some really stupid Czech TV series. a) it always looks very lame, actors are very lame, etc. b) most of the time I see some sort of these soap operas - the actors there are doing

Recently there was very tragic case of a murder and rape of a 9 year old girl in the Czech Republic. I was quite surprised how many people in the discussions under the articles at news sites were so sure and certain, that when the guy, who did it, gets to the prison, the other inmates will kill him for sure - we do not have death penalty in our law system. Where does this certainity come from?

Recently I remembered one song by one Czech band... lyrics were in Czech but it went something like this: Money just the money dont wait You just reach to them and they have you. (yeeah, I know it is not rhyming in English so add "...as bait", but that is not the point of the story). I think I could say about myself that I am quite a modest person, but on the other hand, couple of years ago

Roland Barthes in his book Sade, Fourier, Loyola describes (apart from lots of other thoughts) that marquis de Sade was a genius at the multiciplity of the crimes... for example to do incest, adultery, sodomy and sacrilege at the same time one of the heroes of his book 120 Days of Sodomy fucks his own married daughter in the ass whilst having a sacramental bread on his penis.

As you can see, everyone is wearing this jacket! My sister used to have such jacket 20 years ago! Weird, if you imagine, that Kim Jong-il is supposedly having more than 4 billions euro on his European accounts! I hope he has at least monogram on the jacket, as the "luxury" clothes have :o).

Yesterday I bought salade and small plain baguette. Funny thing was that right before I should be getting my receipt and pay the stuff, one old lady came there and said that on her bill are two yogurts and that she wants that 3,90 crowns back (aprox 15 eurocents), because she has bought only one yogurt. Well, no problem with that, but the cashier instead of giving her back the money put through

Ok, so I bought this Garmin nuvi 3790T Lifetime gps for cars, looks great, works great, but! First of all , the lifetime is meant the lifetime of the gps, not your lifetime, lol. Overall lifetime of the electronic devices is now two years and a day (with the two years warranty of course), so maybe the extra cash for lifetime is shit. But secondly, which is far more worse, they say in the manual

European Union made year ago another "wise" decision... they forbid the mercury thermometers, because they are supposed to be unhealthy... well maybe if you eat ten of them per day as a medieval cure for your sore throat.

Well, I am reading Dante Alighieri now and have to think... why in the time of advanced 3D cinematics no one did the film adaptation of Divina Commedia? That would be hell of a roadmovie :o). Well, there certainly was a playstation game, but that sucks...

Today it was all pee and old people in the tram, so I came up with an idea of a theatre play. It would be based in Spain in a retirement house and main characters would be: Doña Incontinenta and Don Impotente. As a genre cloak and sword/dagger drama would just be it. I love going in tram to work.

Recently I started reading Bible. The reason was, that it is often said, that Bible is what made the Western Civilization... must say that it has not changed my mind about the God (yup, He still does not exist for me, not even some Flying Spaghetti Monster), but it is very interesting book to read. One can see how life was back there for example from all those things which are forbidden etc. I

Don't know whether it was because we came during the "before Christmas" part of the year, or that it was the evening with full moon, but Bratislava seemed to me like very beautiful city. We were only in the old historical part, but being totally alone at the castle (whose premises are open till 1 in the night) was quite magical.

It is rather interesting fact that none of us is having any doubts about such sciences as physics or medicine. But when it goes to the social sciences there is (at least for me) one interisting problem. How come we actually have doubts about social sciences? Sometimes it looks like such sciences (as sociology, media studies etc.) are mostly important only for those, who say it is science, i.e.

Last week I was at the Vision 97 ceremony, at which Paul Konrad Liessmann was awarded... I read in the materials that he writes a lot about knowledge and education, so maybe I should read something... The times when there were polyhistors are gone... they knew a few information about a lot of things. Nowadays we have specialists who know almost everything about almost nothing... What is better?

Allegedly when Roland Barthes died, he had at home aproximately 15 000 index "cards" with different entries about what he was doing and when he was writing his non-fiction books he used these cards... Looks like really painful-in-the-ass and slow process, but maybe he did not get lost in all that knowledge... nowadays I have a feeling that anything you want to know, you just type it in Google or

Television changed our perception of time in a way, that before TV we were satisfied enough, when we read news day after it happenned. But internet chnged the situation so much, that sometimes I have a feeling, that even "live" broadcast is not fast enought. Therefore we send press releases to the media "before they actually happen" with embargo e.g. till 8 p.m. Only then when e.g. the winner of

Sometimes you feel almost sick from every book you have just read. Lets say I have read hundreds of books, but with every new one I feel like I "know" still nothing, or very little. Every book intertextually connects you to another book and another author, but still there are lots of those you will never have time or possibility to read... And that feeling is something I would compare to the

It is kinda well-known fact, that people who live in countries which use left-to-right handwriting have sense of time as a line which goes from left to right, e.g. if you draw a line and in middle you write NOW, then on the left side is PAST and on the right side is FUTURE. It works on the opposite level for the people who write from right to left. Their FUTURE is on the LEFT etc. Now the

It is so funny, that when reading about anti-communist activists, media always mention Cuba or China. Well I think that if Marx would see the conditions of proletariat in China, he would wet his pants, because that is the purest form of capitalism there and yet they are enslaved there under the notion of communistic regime.

Propaganda and ideology. Both words used to have positive connotations up until the famous leaders used them.

The Greece case has a simple solution. Kick them from the EU, let THEM pay the debt and good bye and good luck. While the whole EU is looking for money for them - e.g. Slovakia has to borrow money to get the money for Greece, they even protest against the EU and MMF and tell them to go home.

Many wondered about the meaning of life. This is probably not something new, but when I was watching the hundreds of people passing me by on a todays lunch snack with the view at the city square I thought this.

I guess that during past one hundred years a lot of things had changed and thus maybe we, as a society, should change couple of "standards".1) We are much taller as a species- The beds and doors which are 2metres long feel like they should be a bit bigger- the kitchen tables, where you prepare your food, should be higher than 85 cm, cause now you just bend like an asshole and your back starts to

OK so this was on my mind since I was a little kid. Take a calculator and:123+369+987+741=2220147+789+963+321=2220159+357+753+951=2220456+258+852+654=2220Weird, huh? Circles and crosses (+ and x) on a numpad/calculator sum up as 2220.

Message to all those millions of people who shit their pants for tremendous Susan Boyle.In the 1960s and 1970s it was totally OK to look like your mother had you with a horse and have a bad hair and terrible teeth, and yet you could have been a music star!It is just the last twenty years when we all suddenly started to look at the appearances first (mainly television caused this shift), so only

Probably cooperation. The first human being who had the idea that it is actually better if you cooperate and not kill each other, should be awarded for this very idea of cooperation.

The more you know and think about things, the more difficult it is to answer even the simplest and stupidest questions.Oh. The wise man is me :o).

Well let us compare three historical political systems and their connection to art. It would be nazism, communism and democracy.In nazism the politics is being aesthetizated (see Leni Riefenstahl and her Triump of the Will). In communism you have the politization of art. (Normally you have paintings of this genre during the history of art such as this:but in communistic "social-realism" instead

OK, there are several software (compatible with Micorosft Vista) which are not possible to use with Microsoft Mouse, because the "Smooth Scrolling" is doing everything else than smoothly working. So far I have found problems with WinAmp and SPSS 17. Vertical scroll UP is working, but if you scroll DOWN then the wheel moves like 100000times, but it moves only for 3 lines max in the software.I am

Today I was at sort of a café intellectuals session, where was among others Karel Hvížďala whom I am kinda of respecting and three other guys who were discussing the future of printed media.But!!! None has formulated such a simple thought as:1) if in the Czech Republic is the sold circulation 80 - 120 000 copies, which can provide that the printed daily press can survive economically (the best

While in the US they have Santa Claus (whom I enjoy calling for fun Satan Klaus, because this fella is somehow invading my country since 1989 in the same way as the Father Frost from Russia was invading my country in 1948-1989), here in Europe we have lots of different ways how to call the guy who brings you presents.French are always an exception and have to be somehow special (whole world has

OK, I am using computers since Windows 95. When I had windows 98 and Pentium III 350 Mhz, turning off the computer took around 5 seconds since I pressed the "Shut down button".Now I have Core 2 Duo on 2 Ghz, with 2 giga of RAM and Windows Vista and turning off of the computers from the time I press "Shut down button" takes from 45 seconds till 1 minute or sometimes even more.Microsoft, FUCK YOU

OK, so most members of the current Western population are living just all by themselves (the ulrich becks second modernity)... but when you go shopping for food, the bigger package you buy, the better the price is (because packaging and distribution of food are still the biggest influential price creators - you cant wire pork chops through optical cable).I get this, but, imagine you buy 10 pork

I gues that if Adorno would be today at the classical music conert he would rather die, because of how mistaken he was...Because you cant force certain people to enjoy the "high" culture... In front of me (the whole line) were sitting guys around 15 (appereantly with their teacher from some kind of kids asylum).

I guess that only women as a species have the great "magic", that if they are twenty years old, they can look like 40 years old (or even worse when they are 12 they look like 20) or on the other hand if they are 40 they can look like 25. Men are just men...

UPDATE: OK, even if I felt I was destroying some myths in here... I have been told I am shallow, subjective and stereotypical, hmmmz, so I will change something (a bit).1) they eat warm for dinner and cold for lunch (we do the opposite)2) if you are non-European student you pay 7000 euros a year university fees, if you are from Europe you pay 2000 euros (we have free education on state

Keeeiii, so yesterday I went to the last concert of this years Prague Autumn classical music festival. Antonio Meneses played the Dvořák Cello concerto and funny thing (and the reason why I am actually writing this shit) is that today I met Antonio Meneses in Celetná street where he was sitting in the patio of the restaurant (in the street) and having a drink. (Beer maybe? Thats what Czech
