Gadget for my lady ...

A while ago we ordered a gadget, my wife's decision.
I got delivered 2 weeks ago on 15 of July at 12 , it was expect to arrive in the beginning of august.

When unboxing she was demonstrating her voice and it was the sweetest sounds of life. Happy birthday Milena.

The Legend lives on

Sunday 12 July 2009, i had the luck to be at Alice Cooper concert/show, so i got only good emotions, THE LEGEND is still alive i say. i still can't come back to life after the show, and i just cant understand how did i managed to live until now without this. so here i got these videos using nokia 5800:

light and darkness

light and darkness ...

it takes a spark to turn light into darkness
and a different spark to turn darkness to light
anyway both things are possible, but the thing that defines the wiseman is the ability to keep the light on.

darkness is inside me, darkness all around me :(
