Hi! I haven't been online in a while (not just GB but the internet in general... ) so forgive if this blog kinda sucks and is kinda short. Anyway, it's eastern and i do what i do every day I'm of work- I play games on my Xbox/PS3 in my underwear until like noon when i eat and shower,stop being a zombie for about 20 minutes and then return to a zombie-like state (Don't judge! I work a whole lot,and being a lawyer is boring most of the time,unless you're defending/prosecuting a killer in which case it's fucking SCARY).
SO,i had a friend from back home in Croatia drop by because he was on vacation and he made the stupid,stupid choice of coming to Canada (it's a great place to live in but not for tourism,might as well stay in Croatia-Dalmatia is beautiful in the spring.)., and we're playing Resistance: FoM co-op,because we started on his PS3 before i moved to Canada and never finished. ANYWAY,i pop in the game and it says i have to install an update (To clarify: an update for Resistance and not a system update) . OK,sure this should only take a minute
30 minutes later
So its FINALLY installed and we go to play,i select the co-op option on the menu and.... What's this? It restarted? Oh,well i guess it's a problem with the game. No biggy,its gotta be a problem with the disk, I'll just buy another one off of eBay and we'll just skip to Resistance 2 for now so i pop in R2 and we start playing. We actually played for quite a while but then,you guessed it, it restarts.
And I'm thinking "Well i guess my PS3's dead. Well,let's play some 360 games then!" . Since we're both big racing fans i popped in Forza 3 and showed him the controls he starts playing,drives around 2 laps and then my 360 RROD's. Nothing unexpected consider that its a launch 360,the only problem is-i don't have what to play on now as my PC is a piece of shit from '05 that barely works!
So,what should i do now?
(I guess i could try actually socializing,i haven't been out since a moved to Toronto...)
So yeah,you might have read my rambling about me hatin' on me (not a typo) homeland. Well,many of you guys pointed out to me that the war crimes in the past,the fucking dumb government etc. doesn't make the people,the women (THE WOMEN :3),the beer etc shit... So,thanks :D. But,i also want to thanks Raymayne for telling to focus on the good stuff in Croatia (i never realized that there's so much of it. The things you learn...),and i also want to thank xyzygy (that's the name,right?) for giving me the idea to move my sorry ass to Canada (HOCKEY!!!) :D
I've actually already been there when i was in law school,and i got a job offer at my uncle's law firm ^_^. So yeah,thanks :D
Now most of you will just say yes right of bat but you have to hear me out (or read me out). See,my country ( Republic of Croatia) is only 18 years old (Sure,there was the war period,but i count the post-Yugoslavia as the age of my homeland),so everything is still subject to change,but my antipathy toward Croatia starts with Croatian War of Independence. I know i should be proud of my homeland to get independence,but honestly i am not. I mean,the whole war just a whole farce-at the time the JNA (Yugoslavian army) was the 3rd strongest army in the world (right after the US and the Soviets) and the Serbian (well,Yugoslavian) aggressors could just delete us of the map if they wanted,but didn't. Why? Well,while our men and the Ustaše (Read:Ustashe) (another reason of my antipathy towards my homeland,i'll get to them later) were fighting and dying here, Tuđman (croatian president and hardcore ustaša) and Miloševič (Serbian president and hardcore četnik [Read:Chetnik. Also,I'll get to them later]) were enjoying in Slovenia,talking about how they will split Bosnia
No,i can't base my antipathy on just one dude true,but even after the war was over in '95 some Serbs were still in Croatia. And here we get to the Ustašas. They were (and still are) and extremist fascist group that thought it would be just fine to murder and rape the left over Serbs. WHAT THE FUCK?! WHERE DO YOU GET OFF JUST BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF AN INNOCENT GUY/GIRL THAT DIDN'T EVEN PARTICIPATE IN THE WAR (Anybody that participated on the side of the aggressors were exiled)?! True its illegal,but our police force mostly stays blind to it. After that,we help the Serbs terrorize Bosnians so we could have land that isn't rightfully ours!
OK,so that's the past,true,but things didn't get better in the 2000s either! We still have Ustašas,we beat the shit out of people for no reason...Why? THE WAR IS OVER FOLKS! And like the cherry on the top of the shit cake,we have one of the most corrupt governments in the world,the country is near bankruptcy and people are like geese in the fog-they just don't care!
Now that you know maybe too much,do you still say no?
Alright,so you have probably already heard about utopia. Not the game,not the book,not the movie and not...Something else. No,i'm talking about utopia as an idea. So,basically utopia is world peace everything is great blah,blah,blah. You know all that. Now,the easiest way to do it would be to unite the entire world,however its obvious why this is just fucking redicilous. Its not because of different cultures,we have that in today's countries (Russia,for example) but who would rule,and what langauge would we speak?
So,the speech problem could be solved by using world langauges. Sure,there already is Esperanto which no one uses,but in a situation like this,they'd be forced to learn it. Or maybe we would split into different regions,and then we could talk like that. Sure,that solves the langauge problem,but what about the rulers of this prototype utopian state (lets call it Pangea)? Sure,we could solve it the same as the langauge problem,and split everything in regions. Sure,it works for the US why wouldn't it work for Pangea? Because,just like in US it would require a president/emperor/king/prime-minister/etc,and since humans would,of course,have different opinions it would all end in a worldwide war,except in this case,it wouldn't be a war,but a riot,which would be even worse because this means that there is no one to send orders to those rioting,and this would mean a lot of dead civilians. But the utopian idea does require no goverment.
In other words-anarchy! No,anarchy doesn't have to bad, but it sure as hell wouldn't work. Without goverment there is no police,without police there is no law and without law its not a state its no man's land,that would only end in something like NDH (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska. Can't blame me for promoting my country's history ;)),which was a lawless state where people could kill each other without any consequence. A utopian state would became dfeunct in weeks,maybe even days.
