There are many reasons why a young Slovenian should consider moving into more prosperous regions and continents. I wonder if this recent advertised version www.migration.si is the right one?
Exercises on Future Slovenian Environment 1/1

Mission, Vision and Values’ platforms have become to be perceived as just another popular corporative mantra that gained extensive ground during the recent colossal financial crisis to regain lost trust. Corporate governance has become just another buzz word, undeservedly, as it entails solid grounds for future sustainable co-habitation. It should be practised not preached, or marketed.
And no, it does not (only) address rare common understanding of socialist versus early capitalist social order typical of SEE region!
In the absence of (m)any moral and ethical standards and Slovenian society dramatically polarised by recent history, it could and should become a trustworthy insight & exercise into the country’s future. At least we could establish some common template that is synchronised with citizens’ values and views. I sadly admit that the elections do us poor justice.
arrivals and departures
Andrew is leaving in a few hours; we are sad about that.
And I'm unpacking, and settling in, and kissing cats, and thinking about my own next departure, which is to London, in a week. Time to gather myself, and begin to lay ornament on the bare bones of my schedule. Time to start calling friends, and making dates, and ordering champagne for the Glitterganza.
Dissected artists
This would have made art history much more interesting, don´t you agree?! Created by DDB Brazil for the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) Art School, this awesome campaign took artists as Dali, Van Gogh, Picasso and dissected them to show their inside illustrated in the same style as their famous artworks. A brilliant idea and execution! Unfortunately, this is just a sneak peek, but definitely we´ll keep you guys posted when they come up with more...
Réunion instantanée
Il frappe, agressif.
Il met l’accent sur sa masculinité
et puis il s’enfuit.
Il revient et affirme qu’il est un type douce
et qu’il ne s’intéresse qu’à l’esprit des femmes.
Il a oublié de dire ce que c’est sa femme idéale.
Moi, je suis une femme pratique.
J’ai ouvert la porte un petit peu.
On Books and Missing Pieces
Now you tell me, how to connect Shel Silverstein’s The Missing Piece:
It was missing a piece.
And it was not happy.
So it set off in search
of its missing piece.
with the latest news by Brain Pickings on Indie legends celebrating Silverstein’s songs.
Well, country music goes well with many missing pieces, but not this one.
I have to hush, though. When a nation truly adopts an artist, they do not give damn what the rest of the world thinks about it. Amen to the artist, the nation and the world.
Now, this opens a completely different question. Are Americans more generous in openly sharing their artists than the Europeans? Darn! This deserves a new post.
May All Your Wishes Come True
A Tiny Poem On A Dandelion
The weeds you say
I disagree.
A yellow sunshine
forms a fluffy ball.
Its parachute is kind
when blown,
revealing a true nature of a dandelion.
