Hi guys!
It was about 9 years ago in Kino/Cinema Galerija (I guess) in the old town of Riga when I saw this movie for the 1st time.I have always considered "Time of the Gypsies" one of the greatest films ever.
Here is a little reminder.

My jokes about Spanish

2011-05-28T00:19:00.009+02:00

-What does a Spanish person do with the hair when bored?
-Playing flamenco.

-The shortest joke: "A Spanish person is looking for a Portuguese mate."

A father goes with his small daughter to see bullfighting.
-Papa! What is that thing the bullfighter has got between the legs?
-It is a bocadillo for his break!

-Why do Spanish stay awake during the night?
-Because they think there is a big Queso Curado in the sky.

to be continued..

Podnieki mīca mālu, lai veidotu traukus,
Lietojams tikai trauku iedobums.
Namdariem, ceļot māju, jāatstāj logi un durvis,
Tikai mājas iekšējais tukšums ir apdzīvojams.

Today I met a friend of my girlfriend and other friends, well, let's say - a friend. She also has a birthday today (happy b-day, Laura). So what the hell I am doing here alone?!.. Chillax :)

Latvian dogs

2010-03-30T22:49:00.003+02:00

We have our stomachs fully loaded.
There is a half bottle of Riga's Black Balsam left.
We tried to find some Latvian dogs - 2 results.
1. Some kind of Latvian dog.
2. A spanish article about how one 'Latvian' guy throws a dog from the bridge. I wrote a comment that the guy is Lithuanian, because they are speaking in Lithuanian. Well, I don't know if that means that he is Lithuanian, but that does not mean that he is Latvian for sure. Anyway, in the comments we can read a lot of people who are saying that he is NOT Latvian.

Do you want to know something about Latvia?

Sveiciens!
Laikam kādu brīdi nebiju startējis latviešu valodā ;)
Tik ļoti vēlējos parādīt sev, cik daudz es protu svešā mēlē, līdz nonācu pie atziņas, ka manas domas reizēm vārdos nav aprakstāmas, un kur nu vēl valodā, kura nav mana dzimtā.
Tā nu es šodien sēžu pie sava datora un klausos Joe Dassin. Nedaudz neparasti mana vecuma cilvēkiem, taču man šis mākslinieks asociējas ar vidusskolas laikiem. Tā kā vidusskolā mācījos arī franču valodu, tad valodas horizonta paplašināšanai franču mūzikas klausīšanās bija viena no sastāvdaļām.
Atceros, ka mans pasniedzējs augstskolā stāstīja to, ka katru reizi, kad mēs gremdējamies atmiņās, mūsu prāts noveco vai liecina par kaut kādām novecošanas pazīmēm.
-Bet kaut kas taču ir jāatcerās!
Es te laikam šovakar tālāk nevaru ārā izbuksēt no šīs atmiņu bedres.
Ar labu nakti,
S.

Hi.
As it is Sunday, let's have a look at the last days that were full of excitement and joy.
Finally my business plan is finished. It is about promo/advert video production company. The plan is not completed yet, because it is for Latvia's market only. Not a big deal if I decide to do my business somewhere else. The business is quite specific anyway, so noone really has got a lot of competition here, at least at the beginning, when we aren't hunting the big whales (no offence) yet.
Now we have to move further. Next week comes with a couple of photo sessions. I am going to visit a lady and her baby to make the best present ever (a fantastic photo) for the husband's birthday, of course produced by me.
On Mondays and Wednesdays I am still studying Spanish. I have a quite good basic level already. The teacher is not the one of the best, but what do we want from a spanish guy who is living in Latvia (no offence;)
Royt,
S.

-And what will you say about the countless corruption cases?
-We have to look at the things a little bit different.
-I am asking again!
-I understand that here I have to answer on tough questions.
-Dont you feel embarassed?
-When I was the leader..
-Look, 90% of peeps think that you are a thief.
-What kind of 90%, where are they (actually there were about 85-87)?
-Look we have to finish the show.
-Can I say smth?
-We have to finish.
-Plz
-Just the last word!
-Ok, this is from a chinese book many hundreads of years ago: 'after the moment the leader did not pay attention, came a long cold period.'

..and there were many more, he says he is reading the books in his spare time, but in uni I studied that already in the second year.. to answer the questions is not a big deal. though, the brains are getting older. I imagined myself to be there, I imagined many things, everyone would speak about that tomorrow, no doubt..

I have spent countless hours in all kind of video forums, collecting information about all the necessary things that will help me to do them without - not really, but with less problems for sure.
I say this now and it is about time.
Good luck for all of us!

All this time I have been good, all the money I earn goes for my video accesories, well it is an investement anyway. Health is all right, girlfriend - excellent, family - good and job - so so. Everything like by normal people ;)

Floating Cities

2009-10-23T19:20:00.000+02:00

Are these the answer to the threat of rising sea levels? One architect believes floating cities could offer a safe haven for people who have lost their homes to flooding.

Rather than building up our city's defences with dams, architect Vincent Callebaut has put forward an alternative future for the victims of climate change.

The floating ecopolis, inspired by Amazonian lilypads, are designed to be completely self-sufficient in both power and water, through solar power, wind turbines and rainfall collection.

For me it's enough. I feel a little bit tired from my job to not to say more so holidays are gonna be just on time.
After visiting Lv we are staying 1 night in London and then heading to Seville, I guess I don't need to check the weather forecast for that place. I just know that we are gonna be by the pool, drinking Pedro Jimenez and eating Jamonsito, love it!!!
Definately I'm taking my camera with me, so it's gonna be a possibility to see some of my pics. I'll see you around!!!! Ciao.

3 days in Aarhus and a quick look in Spot festival

2009-05-23T14:13:00.003+02:00

Hello,
Last 3 days just flew by, been in a place where U can buy alchochol all night long and hv a botellon in the streets legally... where is it??? Denmark, yes.. So actually is no wonder that time passed so quickly. Thursday was the opening day for Spot festival in Aarhus, where we saw some nice jazz, rock and reggae bands, after that we decided to hv a lil rest in our hotel, but because of that we missed Yann Tiersen live performance, that's ok.. next time.
Missing Yann Tiersen concert was not 2 bad, cause next band was Minipli from Luxembourg. Our minds were blown away not only from Staroprmen beers and Swedish ciders, but from this minimalist experimental electronica guys as well. They hv been changig the instruments in almost each second song and the crowd was totally under their wave. And then came this tune and my mind went so high.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG9Lf9ybO1U&NR=1
Even though the words are in spanish and I had my girlfriend by my side, she couldn't understand a word (well few), but that didn't matter any more..
As the last performers were band called zZz. A dutch duo with drums and organ only.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ifmlaNhA4
After few more beers we were dancing till I remembered myself next morning in the hotel in my bed. We had to wake up to check out from hotel, and in huge hangover mood tryin to wake up and slowly say: bye, Aarhus! Was wery nice visiting U!!!
Peace,
S.

Par sausiem māliem!

2009-02-12T11:33:00.002+01:00

Čau! Te Salvis Āre. Ceru, ka ar jums viss ir kārtībā un lietas iet kā pa sviestu.. Man pašam iet ne gluži kā pa sviestu. Es varētu teikt, ka man iet kā pa māliem. Kad tie ir slapji, šķiet, ka iet kā pa sviestu, bet kad - sausi... auch!!! Ja turpinām apskatīt sauso mālu tēmu, tad jāsaka, ka tikai pirms mēneša uzzināju, ka man ir jānokārto vēl pieci priekšmeti kā parādi (te nu gan laikam esmu aizmirsis piebilst, ka esmu reklāmas menedžmenta beidzamā kursa students RSEBAA)! Esmu dimbā jeb māli sausi! Protams, pats jau vien esmu pie tā vainīgs. Kā nekā esmu bijis divos akadēmiskajos gados, un pa šiem diviem gadiem kursam, ar kuru pašlaik kopā studēju, šie priekšmeti jau ir bijuši iepriekš. Tā nu manas nolaidības un pārāk mazās ieinteresētības dēļ atrodos šajā situācijā. Par nekādu augstskolas beigšanu šogad laikam jau nevar būt ne runas, jo ir kurss/priekšmets, kuru šogad nokārtot nevaru. Tad nu ir jāatstāj uz vēl vienu gadu. Atceros, ka mana vidusskolas vācu valodas skolotāja stāstīīja, ka vācijā augstskolu absolventu vidējais vecums bija ap 30 gadiem. Šķiet, ka es ar šāda veida statistiku Latviju vismaz nedaudz pietuvinu Rietumeiropas līmenim, kas patiešām ir pozitīvs rādītājs, ja par kanonu ņemam Rietumeiropas īpašības un īpatnības. Tā nu arī man ir savas īpatnības, un šajā emuārā jūs jau pāris pamanījāt. Paldies par uzmanību un līdzi jušanu! Līdz nākamajai reizei, ciao!!!!!!!!
