The black box

What's the black box, it's that item of furniture that's supposed to be useful but isn't what is it yes you guessed right it's the TV. All you've got on it are adverts and rubbish programs, first the adverts, I suppose they fall into five main categories 1 mobile companies and mobile phones 2 cars 3 shops 4 tablets 5 adverts for rubbish programs. Number 1 mobile phones and companies, they all cost money which most of us haven't enough to buy so we use our old phones, 2 cars, who can afford a new car when it's cheaper to repair the car that you have, 3 non-stop adverts for shops advertising things that you don't really need or claiming their shop is the cheapest, 5 this one really gets on my nerves adverts for tablets that you can buy at your local chemist, if there's something wrong with you then go to the doctor and perhaps you can get a prescription which you won't have to pay for, makes sense don't you think. Right apart from adverts what have we got to watch, well you can watch series's, Polish, Mexican, or from some other country, rubbish for me perhaps not for you, marriage programs both in Croatian and American what a bore, love programs on some island rubbish for me perhaps not for you and don't forget blind date in a restaurant, rubbish, cooking programs on most channels boring, talent shows boring, news on all channels all bad news not worth watching,political programs all lies the only thing worth watching is sport because we always as a small country except the best and sometimes we are the best for Croatia that's a great deal, what happened to the good old programs that we always watched that were either funny or entertaining, why aren't there any new films to watch because all the money has gone on producing and paying other countries for rubbish. Everybody likes a good film or a good documentary where you can learn something new but there aren't any and if you like any of the above, then there's a new channel where you can watch the program a day earlier and then watch the repeat the day after what sense does that make, just a waste of money. The worst part is that you have to pay every month for what I don't know, euros which could be spent on important things like food. I really don't understand the big television companies, why waste money on something that's not interesting to everyone, spend it on something good. Perhaps I'm wrong but I have to say what I think as I don't really know why we have a television as almost everyone is on their mobile telephones, I suppose that's why there are so many adverts to buy new one's which are supposed to be better quality I don't know I'm not an expert, I am quite sure that there are plenty of people that disagree with what I think but what can I do those are my thoughts good or bad, it drives me mad when someone reaches for the remote control and turns the television on so I have to write what I think which gives me some satisfaction instead of watching television. What do you think am I right or wrong?

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

Terrible

Isn't it just terrible to see once again ordinary people being targeted by bombs and mortars and being once again driven from their homes. The orders obviously coming from the top which of course means non other than the war monger himself, Putin and the Ukrainians can't do a thing to stop it except helping with the evacuation of the elderly and sick from the border towns with Russia. It is a familiar site for me after witnessing it myself here in Croatia in 1991, so I know how those people feel being driven from their homes and normal lives not knowing wheater they will return or not by a superior force intent on carrying out their orders by a lunatic dictator. Here in Croatia after so many years people are back in their homes, rebuilt and the villages, towns and cities are back to normal, Croatia has come back from the brink of destruction to become a stronger and better country, all because of the heart and will of the people. There is a huge question mark over wheater the U...
