About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pursuit of happiness ;)

ABOUT ME

More or less I'm a gamer.Also a guy who usually talk what he think :P I'm taken for permanently drunk sometimes xD - but it's not from alcohol, from great company ;) Might get really talkative sometimes(that's what I've been told). Think of some crazy stunt - then It's highly possible I'll join you ;)

PHILOSOPHY

A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He then asked once more if the jar was full. This time the students were sure and they responded with a unanimous "Yes!"
The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and proceeded to pour their entire contents into the jar -- effectively filling the empty spaces between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things - your family, your partner, your health, your children; things that, if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car."
The sand represented everything else. The small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you."
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal."
"Take care of the rocks first -the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

Computer games (kinda part of my job as well), drinking beer with friends, sport (pretty wide variety: football, volleyball, basketball, tennis and more) - but to play, not to watch (I gave up watching TV long ago so stopped watching sport as well) aaaaand CS meetings of course. Any mix of these is great :D

Music, Movies, and Books

My music? ONLY depends on the mood - when I was younger I was punkrocker ;) Now I still like this genre but all dance/party music and non-dancing also ;p
With movies is kinda the same but I'm not so fond of historical movies, mostly like some good climatic horror/thriller or "light" action/comedy movies.
I've used to read much when I was young - most likely fantasy or some custom books friends recommended. Biggest series for me was: "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn", LoTR, HP series, Sapkowski's Hussite trilogy and Game of Thrones series lately :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
