BLAMO

Hi all, anyone attending DARK EASTER METAL MEETING 2024?

Greatings from your neighbour, Slovenija Are you landing in Vienna? Ticket price must be enormous to travel on the other side of the earth. If you could dig a tunnel through the center of the earth would be closer

Laibach are great, another Slovenian band that maybe some will like is Noctiferia or Within Destruction. Maybe Elvis Jackson. Big up for Slovenija 🥰

I was away for over a month now and I have a lot of catching up to do, can't wait since there is not a lot of work today in the office Was away because of diabetes, almost went blind, but now it's all getting better since I started to live healthier :) I never watched what I ate or drink and I guess it just builds up. Now I am on a diet and feel great, I have a goal to drink only on concerts and festivals so cannot wait for Vienna Metal Meeting in October :)

I don't like Green Day but when I listen Dookie it brings me back to my childhood, same goes for The Offspring's Smash album. I would pay a lot of money if any of them had a tour playing those albums.

I see they have a new bassist and drummer since 2020 so you saw them in different line-up. Do you remember why the hate? I know some bands that started playing live shows when the members were relatively young and some of older metalheads thought that their music is not good just because they were young

Tomorrow in Ljubljana, can't wait.

If the crosswalk is less than 100 meters away you can get fined because of jaywalking and on my way to school there were two crosswalks around 150 meters apart and the path we usually took was right in the middle so it was easier for us just to run across. They stopped me twice. Once it was an older cop that went on to what kind of clothes I'm wearing etc and the second time a guy around 35 years that had a younger, cute, female apprentice so he just wanted to show me who is the sheriff in town Cops in Slovenija are really nice and I think they are fair when you are being respectful to them but from time to time you get some frustrated idiot who wants to make his day ruining yours

Attended Slipknot concert during the weekend in Munich. I really enjoyed their 2nd and 3rd album but I think it was the last time seeing them for me at least for a couple of years The scenery was really great, it was the place where Hitler held his speeches. I would be happy if there would be no telephones allowed to the show, you had a hard time seeing to the stage because of IT

I had to go to the court because of jaywalking when I was still in high school and the judge said he doesn't have time for this kind of things and said I can leave. I had my drivers license taken away because I was drunk when driving. I had to move a car for morning deliveries and I wanted to move the car 50 meters away. As soon as I started a car the cops knocked on the window and told me to exit the vehicle. I didn't even feel drunk but I drank double whiskey just before sitting in a car. Got finned a bit of money and had to attend some seminars where we mostly discussed how to drink and avoid cops. I don't drink and drive since.

There is a Slovenian metal festival called Metaldays, formerly known as Metalcamp, it lasts six days and it's really nice place where it's happening (SOČA RIVER). This year it's the first year at Velenje lake, we'll see if it will be as good as Soča

My longest festival was six days. After six days I couldn't wait to sleep in my bed, use my toilet and shower 🙂 I could feel layers of dirt peeling of me

We have a saying NE DIRAJ LAVA DOK SPAVA, translating : don't poke the lion while he sleeps. I personally think that Putin is not the only one to blame for the war and that many people very relieved when it started. Maybe because of my geographical location or history or I don't know what but I think that USA somehow had a really big part in the start of the war

Maybe I wrote that wrong, start of summer is also on 21st of June but the first day of summer weather (29° Cesium, swimming in the sea) was yesterday. Kids in Slovenija finish school on 23rd of June and return to school on 1st of September, but since this year 1st of September drops on Friday I think most of kids will be in school only on Monday, 4th.

Just listen to whatever you feel like I listen music every day (no radio) and I go days without metal sometimes, but sometimes I would listen to one metal song on a repeat 15 times. Sometimes I would listen something on the more extreme side of metal and something something more on the softer side But I will never apologize for it (I don't know if this is the right expression) because the music I'm listening I listen for me to be in a certain mood not for others. P.S. summer started in Slovenija, feeling very Olympic today 😊

As a neighbor country of Croatia (Slovenija) I can confirm Croatia is very beautiful I don't have any problems with Croatian people, they are very nice I would like to go from NY to LA with a car someday

When we were on road trip in California we landed in LA and took the rent a car service. I was driving and when you get to the (I think it was six lanes) highway you get a little scared. But after a while I got comfortable and it was OK, you just have to put mentality of driving in Slovenija aside and just go crazy I remember San Francisco as the worst place to drive around. Few years back I was in London, staying at East India and I just drove there and used public transport for the time being there because the traffic was just crazy. When I visited this year I left the car in Purfleet and went with public transportation to London (I stayed near Hyde park). But overall I love driving, I have a plan to visit Portugal in few weeks and plan to drive there which is 2640km in one direction.

I am living in a village and I always remember all the kids hanging together and we always looked up to the older kids. I first heard Metallica when the older kids were listening to it I still get the goosebumps when Blackened starts playing And when we got older younger kids looked up to us We have a semi pro skateboarder in our village and he once said he would have never skate if it wasn't for us, older kids, and I felt proud of it My daughter loves Stranger Things and she is blasting MoP a lot and I hope she will get to explore the music as much as we did. So where I'm going with this is that almost everybody was introduced to metal somehow and if it by some TV show I don't see any problems with that. Those who will want to explore any further will do so and those who won't will know only one Metallica's song 😃

Not watching a lot of new movies recently just because the quota of certain marginal groups that need to be in everything. Not that I have anything against those groups but it's all so predictable. I realize that might be just the Netflix but that's all I have Watched THE DAWN WALL yesterday, and I would recommend it to everyone 🤘

I could sell my Volvo for 50% more than I paid for it But that means I would have to buy myself a new car because I need it to go to work. My brother in law has been waiting 18 months for VW caddy and a friend 16 months for Citroen Berlingo

I need to lose some weight. I have been overweight last 10 years but I always thought to myself that until I feel OK and can do anything it doesn't bother. That changed now, it really started to bother me. I have very unhealthy eating habits. No breakfast and when I am hungry at work I order pizza or something similar. Then nothing the whole day and then in the evening I get the munchies and I bring out the chips, chocolate and Cola. I was on a diet 4 years ago, I lost 30 kg in 6 months but gained all of it and more soon after so the main problem for me is to keep the wanted weight not loosing it
