Oddities

I don't know why, but there is a few of things I see differently. Maybe it's only because I'd like to be different and - well lot of these things is pretty common, so - I am not for sure if I am really ok :)

Blogs

Well blogs. I've always wanted to do some blog, because I think of myself as something special, and I want to tell the whole world how I see the world, or just about something nice or bad that happened to me in last few days. So I should like the blogs... But - I do not. Because I am pretty certain, that would I start to blog, I'd have no time for such a thing, it'd start to be only my subjective opinions and most of all - I don't know enough people that could enjoy reading of my blogs. I respect everyone that started blogging, and haven't stopped after a month or two, and I respect everyone that writes something worth the reading. But - I don't respect the blogs. I just don't believe in the universal truth of bloggers, I can't believe their unprofessional writings, and with all due respect - I don't care how they feel (however, I'd like to let them know how I feel :) I'd rather read some well known newspaper, and would I like to hear or say something nice, I'd rather talk to my close friend. The funny thing is, that whole my page is one big blog, and I'm still making it even bigger :) Well - let's see what it'll become...

Movies

There's one weird things about the movies I like. I don't know which kind of movies I like. I love the B-Flicks, 80s horrors, but on the other hand I am able to appreciate good actors' performacne in some Academy winner, or some independent movie of young spanish newcoming director. I like even those cheap teen comedies, but I never like the Titanic like stuff. I love Spielberg's work but I am not able to understand why people found Saving Private Ryan such an excellent movie. I enjoyed Lord of the Rings, but not as much as everyone else... I think I don't like those movies that everyone likes :) But - there can be an exception. I love cinema and video, but as I don't have a lot of money and a lot of friends, that like cinema as well I watch the movies at my place on the computer :( I like the TV series also. The best scifi ever is Star Trek and Star Trek Voyager is my total favourite ever. I think it is the most amazing TV series they've ever made. Lot of people thinks it hasn't got the qualities of TOS or TNG, but in my eyes - it's unbeatable :)

Grammar

Well this is a curious part :) I am that grammar-type. But it's a bit different story in english as I just can't speak or write gramatically correct in english. Uff. I never liked Slovak language (I mean in the school), but someone that is not able to understand basic slovak grammar is not a very popular person in my eyes. You can say that the idea is always more important that the form you express it in, but - Grammar is an important thing. Here in english - as I said - I am trying pretty hard to write in the true-english :) and I know it's a pretty unreachable goal. So it's more funny this way, that someone that can't even spell well sometimes is so prudent about grammar...

Music

I've already mention something about music in About Me part. However, there is something strange about the music I like. I don't feel well about people saying "I like any music". It's like they have got no style... The "problem" is that I like almost any music as well... I try to have my style, but it's so much of that I like and what is weird is a mixture of those styles. It started with 90s dancefloor on the high school. I don't like those cheap-3week-hits but the interesting thing is I started to love dutch techno those days. Techno je dos zvltna hudba - nem vemi vea fanikov. I am not talking about these "techno" and "tekkno" played by today "deejays". I am talking about pure hardcore - Thunderdome, Gabberdome, Rave Massacre if you know what I mean. Well - that is the first kind of music I like. Later there was another style I started to like. And this is an interesting part. Esoteric music, something like Dead Can Dance. But esoteric and techno mixture is not where it ended. No - later there come some fine musical pieces like Bjork, Nirvana, Therapy, Exploited... Good friend of mine - Kylen - was a great fan of Nirvana so that was the way how I started to like Kurt Cobain and so. Influenced by I don't know who I started to like punk. Yes - I even had had that crazy hairdo. When I started studying at Kosice, I started to play guitar as well. Well - I wasn't nothing much but the point is that I played a lot of folk, country and punk songs - and so I started to like these as well. So - it started with techno, then some meditation music, grunge, punk... What else? Beastie Boys and East Coast Rap. Funny thing is that I hadn't stopped to like any of previous styles. So no matter that I was playing sad folk song on my guitar, 5 minutes later I enjoyed 3 Steps Ahead. This was a mixture that I liked for a long time. After some time I started to enjoy soul, blues and jazz. Just the nice sweet slow music, that makes you feeling hot. Some time later I discover the spanish language (it was mostly in soundtracks to movies I liked) and started to like all that lation music. Everything from Trio Los Panchos to Daddy Yankee and reggeaton. Still not enough? :) Ok. So here's another curious fact. My daddy plays in country band and sometimes - when their bassguitarist is not available I help them a bit. So - I like the country (American, but Czech as well) as well. I am sure there is lot of other styles that I just forgot to mention but the point is I like a LOT of music...

Linux

I don't like Linux. Sad but true. And weird. Because I don't like that colorful Windows either. As the matter of fact I like to do everything through a command line and editing ini files. I create web in the Notepad, or some context highlight editor, I like programming in C, but I don't have a problem with algorithms at all. I like registers in windows the most, and secret tips and tricks where you can tweak your Windows. So - I SHOULD like the linux. Why not then? I don't know it and I am afraid of it. I respect its power and all the possibilities, but - I've always been worried a bit about starting to use it. It's mostly because of that linux community. There is a small partion of "good linux users". I even know some of them, and they're just people that like linux better, but don't care that Windows suits better to me. We understand each other nicely, when talkng about OSs. But what I don't like is that other - much bigger group - guys with of complexes, that have found an opportunity to express themselfs in Linux. There's nothing thay like more than their self confidence that they understand "it" more than You do. The sad fact is that mostly the second group is getting bigger, as Linux is more and more popular. They're extremnely satisfied with Linux spreading, praying curses against Bill, compiling kernel during nights, wearing those penguin t-shirts, and speaking with that strange language with LinuxRulz and WinSux phrases. They're talking about the stability and how secure the Linux is, but everything they know about OS they've read on internet, and they even haven't understand half of those things. Well - It's because of them, I don't like Linux. I know it is a good OS and every day I'm getting more and more certain that I just have to understand it one day, but I hope that Windows be sufficient for some time...

Math

Well there's only a few people on the world that like the math. I am not having this high school math on my mind. I am not talking about trigonometry or differential calculus. I mean those beautiful math problems students at Math-Phys Universities are being taught, and everyone despises of them because of that... Even I found those people very funny. Those schoolboys in uniforms wearing thick glases, and ties. I think I am glad that I am not one of them. But - on the other hand - I am so fascinated by all that things they are learning. I've completed maybe 15 semesters of various Maths at university, and I am missing it a bit today... Well - it's maybe that. :) I am not missing the math, I am missing the times when I was learning it. And even today, when I hear... Uf I just realized I don't know how to name these things in english :))) Well - I just like these things.

Cell phones

I don't like cell phones. Or - to be precise - I don't like the telecommunications at all. At this moment I am a telecommunication engineer, but I just HATE the telecommunications. And cell phones - well I hate them the most. No - It's not because I don't understand those things. I know exactly how it all works, and I admire those geniuses who developed all these things, but the application - how it is used... I've never enjoyed it. I don't like calling. I am not comfortable when speaking with someone I can't see. And if it is somebody I don't even know it's even worse. It's som kind of strange phobia. It got even worse when cell phones appeared :) I am trying to keep my mobile offline as long as possible, I buy my credit only when I really have to, and I am writing text from the Internet. I had one old cellphone and I was very sad when I had to change it for a better one... I am afraid of today lifestyle, when cellphone is a important part of everyday lifestyle, and teenager without cellphone is an outsider. Teenager with cellphone without colour display, camera, java support, scheduler and 100 other things no one knows what are they good for, is a better teenager but still - he probably have slept for too long or doesn't like his country, if he's putting himself so far from today social habits. And most of all I hate those people saying "Huuh?" into the phone when they pick up the phone. When saying that Huh thing it comes to me like he's feeling the most important man in the country, and someone is trying to violate his busy schedule saving the world, or some other very important mission. Well I mean why not saying "Yes please?" or better - his name. Yes I know there is CLIP and I know who I am calling to, but it's not about that. It's about good manners - and if I have to use that cellphone thing, let me sound nice at least. So - do you have my number, and you're so tempted to call me for any reason? Don't. Use mail, text me or - come and see me. You'll make me very very happy.
