One of the most wonderful feelings is having a piece of it while not cutting a slice.

Adjustments

It's curious, I feel like my "r" is rounding up.

truth_probability = 1 / excuse_count

Sequences

Somehow all of that initial ease of communication eventually turns into annoyance, upset or unfulfilled expectations from one or either of the sides. So do we fail to work up on it right or we just stretch the truth from the very beginning, assigning too much of glorificational features to other person characteristics?

Cruelest code ever

void ExecWithIO::kill_child()
{
  if (running() > 0) {
   int status = kill(child_pid, SIGKILL);
   if (status < 0) {
    std::cerr << "error " << strerror(errno) << " (" << errno
    << ") killing " << child_pid << std::endl;
    }
  }
}

//Just received the code from my supervisor - it has to deal with piping or smthn, but essentialy this method just got me rofling for a while :).

Crap (a month too late)

Thanks a lot gov, but for me it took like a month of bureaucratic stuff plus the fees :/

Was?

"i AM staying positive... but im sick to my back teeth of all this german stuff! whoever invented electronics should have made sure that they wouldnt be taught in freakin german... its hard enough without all those 65 letter long words... ¬¬"
I hope that spanish erasmus girl doesn't mind me quoting her statement, I just found it so true and so amusing. In fact she was exaggerating on this - the longest verified german word in use consists only of 63 letters :) and is Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenüber- tragungsgesetz.
Actually I love to make those up, just because they are all valid whenever they are grammatically correct, but they are complete tongue-twisters when it comes to spelling.

Something sweet or something strong

Used to humm it for 24-7 and still it tends to get there on my tape all over again.

faith

Living is like drawing a picture while sitting on it. You see the colors, take the brush, paint, but never see the whole picture. You have some idea what are you doing and what are purposes of your actions, but the others see it better. Always :D!

exponential blow-up

We may argue about the ways some persons may express themselves. But as much as I've learned the cynic ones more often appear to be the fairest ones towards themselves and others - as long as the cynicism doesn't become a default for every thing that comes across. While being cynic people just mostly shield off some things that others may pretend to find acceptable - for those others it's fine until the last straw - when their acceptance strikes against themselves. So the issue is to be unrest or unbearable for a while or to be nice until getting yourself completely pissed off and explode internally or externally.

aussie for dummies

They tend to write much of a stuff on warning and road signs, often - too much of a stuff. Like on every "give way" sign making it explicit. And whatever you did on the road you shall do with a particular care.

There are some vicious birds and serious flooding threats:

And this one is just hilarious:

And these are some birds at my house's driveway (it's a vid btw :), they're quite active now. It's spring, you know...

No Canberra park

If any interest what else I saw in my ride around the park - spausk chia. Any of my other recent aussie amusements I tend to post here.

On kiddin'

I called a girl a kid and it got so much better ever since.
Once a girl called me a kid and only after a year or so I realized what she wanted to say and what she meant. She was completely right. I mean it's rarely the case when other people make some quality statements about you, and once they do you just mispercept, because you presume that they never get it right.

The same stuff

After several different occasions I'm convinced that taking on challenging commitments in order to force yourself to improve your work ethics is a wrong approach. But the opposite works even worse - you just can't motivate yourself for things that look graspable at the very beginning. Been there, done that.

wishful sinking

And the desire shall drive you

The sincerest compliment

I hope that you taste as well as you look

hāhā

I'm not trying to be funny here. I mean I'm not trying.

canlearning

Yesterday I learned, that sometimes you just have to appear to get someone freaked out.

Countdown

Sometimes we are given hundred goodbyes, because there are things to be sealed.

eli eli Librarized

Yesterday I was derailed from my lazy study tries at library by Artjom who was willing to take some pics at one of his last days in Bolzano.

Me with Artjom thereoutside

Me with Ļena thereinside


P.S. I know, I know that a couple of hairdressers around the town are chasing me :).

...

Some places, communities are like cages inhabited by somewhat pokemons that are being fed with a fresh meet twice per year.

9:23

Ok, I just had to make a record, that today at 9:23 I had a deja vu. It lasted for about 3 seconds, and I realized it in about a middle of the 2nd second. Actually the most irritating thing is that you recall it happening, but you don't foresee before it has happened. I can recall myself only around 7 of deja vu in my life as a fact and don't remember when was the last one, so it gives to it some kind of significance.

While watching CNN

Last Friday the key phrase was whispered, while commenting US gov actions: "they will turn dollar into confetti!"

Not outta woods yet

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where..."said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

Just grasped

If you have nothing to give, you have nothing to share.

Mismanagement

It's so unpleasant when someone else has to pay for your mistakes

Die Brücke

As I was browsing and in parallel taking a look at the TV, that runs in a corner of my screen, my eyes suddenly sticked on a movie trailer of some German movie - die Brücke, starred by Franka Potente. The thing was that the scenes that were shown were quite common in sense that movie obviously is shot in Kuldīga.
As my curiosity raised I found a gallery with some pics. Reportedly this a remake of one that that was nominated for Oscar in 5oties, is a German-Lithuanian collaboration film and was shot for about 2 months last autumn and there occurred some comic situations like with German tourists who were stunned by seeing Nazi symbolics and posters of Hitler - only later they learned that these were decorations of a movie :). So as you understand it's a complete must :) - it premieres on Pro7 on 29/9 at 20.15.

While do

You are going to hear the same joke all over and over and over again, until you'll stop laughing about it.

On discoveries

Once you discover it's too late - it's already too late to discover that.

Live and learn

You know, it's like a song you've liked so much for so long and then you find out how beautiful the lyrics are.

Yeah, I tend to quote myself

[2:49:43] Mārtiņš Zalcmanis saka: it's hard to describe, impossible to understand

Smthn piled-up

There are some things that never change like people who don't know how to pass, how to dribble without looking at the ball and seeing the court, boxing out for rebounds, putting the screens and getting around them, playing pick'n'roll and shooting with the left hand and jumping with the right foot. Ok, I accept that and don't protest - but please don't dare to teach me then :P!

Physics

Why do we always fall in the same ditch? Maybe because we're never far from it.

In der mitte von der Sessionsbesessenheitschweinerei

Ok this is not to greet the 11th sept., just to greet my unwillingness to do some reasonable studyload - to be precise - to scare it away.

some milk?

The grass is greener on the other side... I left my cow there

Quite smart from 18yo

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone. Just don't want two.

On being smart

It's easier to ask, not to think, so F*** off, you, scientist!

Hysteria

What's wrong with you people? Why do you need all those pics?

Stickinwitit

It takes a while to find your niche and then it takes a lifetime to get out of it.

A claim

Computer scientists actually hate their jokes. Why? Because such things make them laugh.

Wir haben grund zum feiern

Just heard it on radio (latvian one) - a sparkling igniter for an upcoming weekday.

P.S. Here's a full list of current fancy songs - of course you can't avoid there some lithuanian groundbreaking hits :).

Until you sink to the bottom

Using slogans that you don't mean or can't relate to is like buying things that you don't need - you have full house of everything-buts

Solid paths and clumsy tries

Is tease a routine or an expression of some sort of attraction?

Routines

When you, mediocre-grade student, are arguing with a big-shot professor about raising a bit your mediocre mark, by putting forward as arguments his incompetence and improper pedanticalness, you really feel like a dog teaching its master. A bit pathetic. And series of times I've came across a notion that the least you put your own efforts, the more eager you are to complain about the results.

Standing chances

No it's not fifķī-fifķī, sometimes it's loose-loose

Recent back-to-backs

I run on pasta

Rollin'05 - gotta moves?

While cleaning up an old family's pc I ran into some curious stuff, dated back 3 years - the summer of '05, oh good old days :). It was the first and regretfully yet the last time I tried rollerskating - you know it's all fun if it's all new and unaccustomed, so I was pleased to find some pics and vids from that day.

Ok, this is one of my first moments on the skates - an attempt to stand my ground...


Run a bit up the hill...


Some impressive beginner moves...



Looks a bit like an elephant on rollerskates - and a company definitely doesn't help :)


Kind of an on-board camera, nothin' special just fun to have a look at myself as I was younger :)


And after some decent warm-up it was time for some backward action...

Reflex

You don't listen to what you're used to hear. Either you have accepted it already, or never will.

A perspective

I wonder how much egoism and narcissism one needs to survive all alone the whole life.

Something all over again

I know that you'll be fine, now that you're not on my mind

An occasion

Ok, so what is like? Life without any feedback?

Empty words will light my path.

Kinda math

Everything costs as much as your willingness to repeat it or someone else's efforts to reverse it

On frienship

You are as much friend as you're willing to be/capable of being one. The latter one tends to be more of a challange.

fine!

Anyone else to plan my day?

If you rhyme like me you don't get paid, and if you roll like me...

Commence without sense - end-up on the fence!

I'm untoppable

I've always wondered what's under the dog

On lucky guesses

How do you explain lack of interest? Emm... hmm... Maybe with the lack of interererest?

The matter of doing something

I'd pick being mediocrity rather than being nothing

Yeah, smooth in the face!

When you think the trick's happening it's already been done

воспоминание

I buy smiles

The matter of attraction

There is nothing sexier than short cotton socks + sneakers.

I think, I'll be somewhat dead, when I'll had killed my willingness to be cinic

Time pushes my age

While looking for an accomodation...

Lonely, seeking flatmate/girlfriend. $0 accommodation in exch. for relationship. Clicca qui

Applying frank tactics

As Šaras says: "If it's strange, then fold."

Countertemplating

They give in on things they seek every chance to show despise for - maybe it's somewhat protest of one's own disability to resist.

Gibberish

I just realized that I never talk about the things I am concerned the most - 4th, 5th and some out of top 10 usually are my red hot favorites, if I talk at all, of course. Words don't help - they just make things worse? Ok, some paraphrased cheeseable rhyme - but you just don't want to pick the wrong words and wrong talkmates. You just want to make it right on the essential issues - unfortunately it's a skill one needs to practice on - frustration is inevitable.

Being

There are too many "great", "nice", "pleasant" people. That's why we stick with the nasty ones.

Ķemeru purvs

Last weekend I with my family went to a place where time had stopped a while ago and a clumsy step may result in an instant sink in some bottomless moss stuff - yeah it's a swamp. Nowadays a recently made wooden path is a strong argument to comfort your curiosity. Earlier the only visitors were the ones seeking for the cranberries, but they really had to know the path there, since it's considered to be one of the most dangerous swamp in Latvia to wander in.

Some swampy mirrors:

This one with a lonely tree on an island.


Some cranberries. They were all around there - still raw though...

... but that didn't stop me from eating them all the way :)

Another mirror

A neat panorama from a small tower there.


The rest 7 pics

P.S. This post has nothing to do with this.

Absurdia

Some things you just have to say to realize that you shouldn't have...
Practice makes awesome? Ok, it might as well be the case.

Zvērā 2008

Recently I was at a somewhat alternative music fest Zvērā. Not so much stuff from stages and crowd since they weren't the matter of interest of a person who took those :).

Everhungry me...

Everhungry me...

Everhungry me...

Ever4handed me...

Ever-fountain-like me

They say that the same scene at the same turn there was a year ago and I have no reason not to believe in them, since everyone around was deadly drunk (except me :) - in sober conditions you wouldn't slide into a ditch at a speed of max 20 km/h :).

Loneliness is conducted by fear

Been missing for a while

Missing out on presence, missing out on life?

Parlez-vous le francais?

Hilarious, french had deserved to eat smthn like this already a long time ago :). And these profound conversations...

Gambling, stumbling

It's totally conceited to treat other people as options.

789

Being in company with someone with a corny sense of humor is even more irritating than hearing the same news broadcast for the n-th time (at least you can turn it off).

The best failure

I may fail, but if I know that I have really put my best effort to succeed then the failure doesn't bug me at all - I even feel somewhat content and pleased that I've succeeded to take my best shot, but simply there are just some things that you can't affect or you're just not good enough for them.

Maybe not a rat race

They think that we're all running for boosted-looks, but hey, take another look where are these queues at!

On answering

It's easy to answer. It's a bit more difficult to give a fair or a thought-through answer. Sometimes it's hard to answer because actually the inquirer doesn't expect your answer, but the one of his. But the answerer gets it the most wrong when he pays little attention on the question, but deviates the flow of his answer to his own-sweet topics where he feels so comfortable than anywhere else - it seems for him so pleasant that he falls in love with this routine and from then on takes every chance to get to that cozy position.
