Holy smokes, what an outpour of love!
Thank you so much, my dear friends. And all those AC/DC cakes and pics...you do know me indeed and know what I love.
Haven`t been around in a while, I`ll write about that in the Kantina later on, during the day some time, this is what I wrote yesterday about birthdays, even though it was a day earlier, but...what is one day, when it was 6 PM here, it was midnight in Europe anyway and that`s where I was born so...
Anyway:
"As ones birthday approaches, the older you get, the more you think about your own mortality.
Of course I am not alone in this, many, if not all people, think about it. I do not dread getting older and old, quite the opposite, I`m dreading not being the seemingly grumpy old man, who is walking down the streets, complaining loudly at this and that, or telling children off when they knock on the door for Halloween, but then handing them a pretty big bag full of candy.
I wanna be that old guy who screams at the TV and is never satisfied with the presidents or prime ministers, I wanna be that guy who keeps saying "Well, in my time, this madness would have never been allowed, the world is going to hell" but laughing afterwards, when nobody sees him, `cause he is quite happy that the world has moved on and he had the opportunity to move on with it.
I wanna be that old man who is walking down the street holding his wife by her hand and when somebody young looks at us in awe, I`d tell him:" What are you looking at, pizza face, you`ll never be loved like we love each other", stop, look at the kid, see if he/she is gonna start crying and then add:
"Because I am quite sure that you will be loved a lot more. " - smile at the child and continue walking down a sycamore street.
There is a saying from my old country, maybe you have it here too, which goes "Pray like you're gonna die tomorrow but work hard like you`re gonna live a hundred years." - and I find it to be true and beautiful.
But no matter how hard your try to protect yourself, you might be spared in a war, like I was, but then die in your bed, many years later. If I was indeed to die tomorrow, I would not complain. Not much anyway, because I would very much like to see my daughter grow up, become a beautiful woman and have kids on her own, but if it was to happen, I would be at peace any way.
I have and have had a grand life, I`ve seen half the world, I`ve been to places many people can only dream off, I`ve written books, I shook hands with famous people and above all - I am loved and I love and I don`t think a man could or should ask for anything more. I have also seen evil, real evil, the kind that chills your bones whenever you think of it, but I got out of it alive.
I don`t really have a bucket list, except for what I have already mentioned and I would like to, and will, write a book in English. Not for fame and fortune, but simply for my friends, so they can read it, if they wish to do so and maybe as a kind of legacy in case my grand kids, if I ever have any and they don`t know Serbian, can also read about my life.
And that would be it, in a nutshell, I just wanna say that I am a happy man and as long as these two beautiful flowers are by my side...I am immortal as well, death can not touch me. Not now, not ever.
I will live as a happy man and die as one and live such a life that, when I die, people who love me will be crying and I will be the only one smiling as to opposite of when I was born and everybody laughed...and the only one crying was me."
