Halloween

In the Catholic and Protestant countries, Halloween is a family holiday got by mixing "All Saints Day" and Celtic Samhain. Halloween is celebrated in the West in the majority of schools and universities. This is a holiday recognized by UNICEF.

In our country, as elsewhere in the CIS, Halloween is a celebration, imported and marginal, is more an occasion for friends to gather and organize a masquerade than the actual holiday. The masquerade is always fun here.

Citius, Altius, Fortius!

I discipline and arrange myself more and more. The sharp increase in workload and a desire to live, not to exist, the thrust to get better and better force to continuously improve my capabilities - to increase the efficiency and degree of stress defence. I have never felt so good and harmonious as it is now. I am becoming more and more convinced that all needs high qualitative and systematic training ... I train diligently and know that it is very far from my limits far from what I really can. I can be better and will be better ...

Remarkable cat

Good manners, cold equanimity, pedantic accuracy, real courage ... Do you think this is about a person? Not at all! This is about the cat. It always eats slowly and with dignity, ready to lie for hours in ambush and wait for the unwary pigeons, licking its fur to shine, almost don’t afraid of dogs and can defend itself. Remarkable cat, if I did not have any pets I would have taken it.

Naturalness Waves Poetry

Silence. Strong, indigo river plays with smooth waves muscles in the sun. Gentle breeze tenderly strokes the grass. Just above the grass now and then soars nearly weightless grasshoppers. On the warm stones, squinting in the fun patterned snakes rest ... You sit down beside the path, and relax, though, are dissolved in this perennial steppe naturalness, genuine depth and captivating power of life ...

Highway

At times, you feel like you're walking down the high-speed line marking ... The air is saturated with the stench of machine: shredded rubber, oil and gasoline. Steel, perfectly fine, monsters squeezes you from all the sides and you walk along just forward, knowing that every step in the direction outside of the white stripes, can cost your life ... At first, you went ahead only for yourself, then for the sake of those who gave you life and then for the one that gave you life meaning ... For her and only for her forever believe that behind the fade artificial lights bright sun lives, and behind the dirty – gray clouds of ash emissions blue sky lives ... You do believe and go forward. Forward only.

A Cat With Different Eyes

These days I had the pleasure to see a very unusual cat or more exactly a pussy cat. It had one green eye, and the second was light-blue like the sky. Kitty was white in color and very affectionate, it allowed us to stroke and to scratch it , we took it in our arms. I even took a few pictures of it, one of them is an illustration for this post.

Originality

Power lines were cut, but gnarled and unsightly concrete bases were left.

Yet, it’s well, that they were left. Someone showed originality and saw the power lines bases as carrots.

Now they look interesting, unusual, vivid, almost as a monument of modern art.

Congratulations On VE Day

I warmly congratulate the British, Americans and other members of the anti-Hitler coalition with the Day of Victory in Europe. Mankind will never forget the exploits of Western soldiers-liberators, many of whom gave their lives fighting against nazism, fascism and imperialism.

VE Day, anti-Hitler coalition

Rain Is Different ...

A rain is just not what it seems ... They think it reflects the sadness and depression but the rain brings freshness, purity, bright colors become brighter, dull colors take on a thin depth, and look how beautiful are raindrops on the glass when they reflect sun rays, how nice squish through the puddles mischievous kids cleverly escaped from the strict moms ... Don’t tether the rain to discouragement this is flat, it's too black and white for the color world.

Hey, Zombies! I Choose Life!

All of us living people have been given birth, but not all of us are given life. Most of us exist , but not live. After all these making all the plans for the day, watching TV, talking on the phone with friends, and so on, people just exist, but does not live. Every man is still one of those millions of drab zombies, whose names are forgotten, even by they themselves ... To live - it's different thing, to live – is being not afraid to be yourself, do not be afraid to make mistakes, do not be afraid to be bright and memorable, to spend time of your life so that there will be nary a regret about the past. Here it is - real life! Hey, zombies! I choose life!

Gentle Python Of Fatigue

Fatigue is like a python, it chokes you, slowly but steadily and firmly, gently and inevitably deadly seriously. So hard that you do not even admit the thought to resist it. Fatigue is of cold blood, it warms from your warm and gets warmer and warmer, calms and lulls you, and then slowly swallows you. And then you look at the clock, work is in the same condition as it has been before, but a few hours are just lost, you simply have slept, and this python of fatigue has broken your body gently ...

Obstacles And Difficulties

There are always obstacles and difficulties and they will be always. Whining about what they do exist is useless. We need to see the goal clearly, the high goal and go to it overcoming all the obstacles and difficulties. The very fact that the struggle for something is a huge step towards the goal. If this fight is sensible and uncompromising, self-sacrificing your success always will come. Talent and hard work are parents of the real success.
