Ah, well, where to start...24 years have passed since the light first reflected of my bald head into the doctors eye causing a sudden drop from his hands to the flour. Needles to say, things haven't been going smoothly for me, mentally wise, but i have my abnormally intelligent, well read and beautiful girl friend who carries me trough life. Right now, my believes in life, if u can call them that, would be straight edge and vegetarianism, but thats like sticking a pole up my ass whiles singing the national anthem of Congo. It raises a couple of questions, some ppl look at you strangely but in the end its all worth it. I tend to keep those believes for the rest of my life and hope one day nosy bastards will stop asking idiotic questions and cracking jokes thinking that they are better than you. As a wise man once said, thats like being the smartest kid with down syndrome. You fucking fags. Hm...i think i may have drifted in the wrong direction there. Anyway, i surrounded myself with music for the better part of my life so far, playing with a shitload of bands,JRK (JEBACHI RUMENE KADULJE), TRES GRINGOS, 44DD (later know as F.A.Q.), DAWSON'S CRACK, DOLIBASIJA , THINGS FALL APART & DEAD BY MISTAKE and left all of them. I'll miss touring so much,playing on small and huge stages, ah, what a feeling. Theres nothing like warm man love inside a van,especially if it's Alen's van, who's been on tour so long he doesn't even remember where to put his little wewe, and honestly, Goran tried to rape me twice, his hand wasn't in my pants by accident. But in time u have to let go of some of your dreams, It's just to hard in these parts to make a living, i see how ppl struggle from day to day, and theres always that moment when u wake up in a van in the middle of godknowswheregermany to find yourself sitting in only boxer shorts, with a golf club on your shoulders that u bought yesterday in a 60's store trying to remove Sasha's head of you while Alen's been driving for 12 hours straight singing gay songs he got from Filip, and giving wedgies is a national sport, comparing dicks with Johnny, and finding out what a sex pirate is, than it's time to get another job. And i did. Now I'm working in a booking and management agency MARS MUSIC, and I'm trying to get a bachelor's degree in journalism, but it's taking me some time (i still have 3 years and i have been there for 3). I don't have that much close friends anymore, life takes u in different directions so u somehow loose contact with them, but i still stay in touch regularly with Igor, Maja & Jan and try to get back to some old friends and band mates that i love but don't see that much anymore :-(. I miss my international friends that i only see every now and then (Tasha is so busy she doesn't find time for me anymore) and i got to see Anna finally and hang out with her and Ivan (but where were the rest of the Brawl guys????). Usually i just hang out with my grl, watch TV and eat eat eat. Ppl are surprised how my belly has gotten big in the last year, i can't even zip up my pants anymore, it's like I'm going to give birth to Michael Jordan and a small car at once and i have 2 chins so far, so if anyone wants to see my belly just mail me and I'll send u a photo. Well, who knows where life will take me from here but we'll just have to wait and see now wont we.
GO VEG!
1. Because eating meat and dairy products makes you fat.
As a nation, we're getting fatter, but only 2
percent of vegetarians and vegans are obese, compared to 18
percent of meat-eating Americans.
2. Because in every package of chicken, there's a little
poop. A USDA study found that 98 percent of
broiler chicken carcasses had noticeable levels of E. coli,
indicating fecal contamination.
There are more than 50 million cases of meat-related foodborne illness every year in the U.S.,
thousands of which lead to death.
3. Because no living creature wants to see her family
slaughtered. Cows love their calves, sows love their
piglets, and chickens love their chicks. Farmed animals
love their families and mourn their loss.
4. Because you wouldn't eat your dog. Most people are
horrified that some cultures eat dogs or whales, but these
animals suffer no more than animals commonly
eaten in the U.S. The difference is only cultural, not
moral.
5. Because it's violence that you can stop. We may feel
powerless to stop war and other forms of violence, but we
can choose not to support slaughterhouses by
rejecting flesh foods.
6. Because you can't eat meat and call yourself an
environmentalist. Factory farms produce 130 times as much
waste as the entire human population of the U.S.
Raising animals for food also requires more than
one-third of all greenhouse-gas-emitting fossil
fuels used in the U.S. Factory farming is
responsible for our rapidly disappearing forests and has
destroyed three-fourths of our topsoil, a permanent environmental
catastrophe that can't be corrected.
A totally vegetarian diet requires 300 gallons of
water per day,
while a meat-eating diet requires more than
4,000 gallons of water per day.
7. Because when animals feel pain, they scream too.
If you burn them, they feel it. If you give them electric
shocks, they feel it.
Animals feel pain in the same way and to the same degree
that we do.
8. Because no matter how you slice it, it's still flesh.
Other animals are made of flesh, bone, and
blood, just as we are, so "meat" is just a euphemism for a
rotting corpse used as food.
9. Because even prisons aren't as crowded as factory farms.
Animals in factory farms are crammed into so
little space that many of them are unable to do anything
that's natural or important to them for their
entire lives.
10. Because no one deserves to die for your taste buds.
A human being's desire for a momentary taste of flesh is
not as important as another animal's desire not to
be tortured and violently killed. It's just common
sense: Our fellow animals have the same kinds
of feelings and desires that we do and we should not
abuse and kill them merely for a meal.
