World of Vladimir

Камено доба. Јутро. Источни ветар милује шумовите падине брда, пада доле и лети преко ливаде.

У даљини, налеће на једну зараслу, погрбљену човеколику прилику која вуче нешто. Вуче младог јелена ког је тај Човек-ловац управо уловио. Човек долази до пећине из које се чује плач мале бебе. Његова прилика полако нестаје у тами пећине, плач престаје и замењује га весели смех. Из даљине, друга човеколика прилика све то немо посматра. Примиче се пећини, у дубини види мало огњиште и око њега Човека-ловца и женку која држи младо дете у наручју.

Човек-посматрач угледа један повећи камен на тлу покрај себе. Подиже га и утрча у пећину. Смех одједном престаде и зачу се женски крик који леди крв у жилама. Брзо је и он занемео. Из пећине изађе Човек-посматрач са јеленом. У глави му се јавља задовољство јер је јако лако дошао до плена и неће остати гладан најмање недељу дана. Ако је могао да савлада једног човека, зашто би му други представљали прблем.

Недеља дана је прошла и опет је на исти начин дошао до јела.

Удружио се са још неким племеном и успео је да их наговори да му помажу. Наш Човек-посматрач је ускоро постао Вођа. Он није имао проблем да узме камен, док су други мало оклевали. Најмлађи у тој групи је завидео Вођи и није могао да схвати како њему тако лако иде. Та завист је полако прерасла у мржњу и најмчађи је напокон успео да без оклевања подигне камен на Вођу. Тако је све почело!

Садашњост. Људи су напредовали и све је напредовало заједно са њима. Више нема камена, њега су заменили пушке и оружије. Више нема једнакости, њих су заменили богати и сиромашни. Привидно напредан човек је постао тиранин. Шири се као вирус по овој планети и утиче на све што дотакне. Ратови избијају због ситнице. Људи почињу да се мрзе и већ су упали у замку из које нема излаза све док једни не нестану.

Свет, некада леп и миран је постао мрачан и окрутан, где нико није потпуно слободан.

I got 5 (A) from my Serbian written test. The subject of my essay was: “Свет не пропада због разбојника и пожара, већ због мржње и непријатељства (А. П. Чехов)” or translated in English it sounds: “World doesn’t rot because of bandits and fires, it’s because of hatred and enmity (A. P. Chekhov)” The translation is a bit trivial, but I think that you’ll get the point.

And beside getting great mark, my professor said that my work was the best idea of all. I’m soooooooooo glad…

I’ll copy it here, but on Serbian first, and try to translate it in English. This will be so hard, because I need to make it so neat and word-stylish, but I’ll do my best and I’m not afraid of challenge…

I got 3 in my English test… For you who doesn’t have our mark (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) 3 is equal with C in American marking system (I think that you have F, D, C, B and A).

I can’t believe, well actually, I can, because as I already said, my English sucks and that’s the primary reason of this blog: “To make my English better!”
But beside this, we (my class and me) think that teacher gave us a bit harder test, a bit upper than our level. Please see example, this was exercise one, some stupid letter, you need to put tenses into empty lines. And also please write me your answers to see what native English speaker will put. I had only 12 points of 18 in this exercise…

Dear Hilda,

I just (hear) _______ that my mother suddenly (be) _______ taken ill, and I would like to go and see how she is. The trouble is I can not take mu dog Tim with me. You (think) _______ you (be able) _______ possibly to look after him for a week? You (have) _______ him for a week last year, you (remember) _______, and you (say) _______ he (be) _______ no trouble, and (get) _______ on well with the dog. If you (be able) _______ to have him, (be able) _______ to bring him along any time that suits you. He has his own bed and bowl, and I will bring enough tinned dog foot to last him a week.

But if it (not be) _______ convenient, (not hesitate) _______ to say so. There (be) _______quite good kennels near here, and they (take) _______ him if I (ask) _______. He (be) _______ there once before and (seem) _______ to get on all right.

Love,
Sarah

Thanks for reading and I’m hoping to get some answers.

When I heard about this, well, when I read about this at this blog I laughed… Read full story at Yahoo! News.

My opinion about this that this is only good publicity trick to get book selling… Lame!
What do you think?

Today I’ll be writing about MySpace. If there is someone who doesn’t know what MySpace is please visit this link. That’s some kind of community where Tom, creator of MySpace, joined blog, forum, commenting, editing page in one place, which he called MySpace… The idea was very nice!

I have account there, of course, and link to my account is myspace.com/vladimir_vuckovic. I had this account for about a year but I started to use it regular two or three months ago. I usually use it to talk to my friends who live far away or to talk if we are on summer holiday and we can’t see each other so often. That’s a good side of space, but there’re a lot of bad sides of this site.

First you lose a lot of time of your life, checking your comments, messages which are not so important. For example, you got tons of comments when people comment your layout, your song etc. and the worst part is that all comments are same:
“Oh, your space layout is so amazing.”
“You look very sexy on this image.”
“Thanks for add.”
etc.

This example is banal, but I’m hoping you’ll getting the point. If you own MySpace account, try to think how much time did you spend on it and what you could do if you didn’t been on Space. WordPress.com is also some kind of that losing time, but at least this you can say your own opinion and I’m still novice at this site, but it’s amazing to write something like this. Now I understand why is Blogging so popular

Space was good idea, but in time it began totally different of it’s first thought.

And than if someone send you comment, and you don’t have time to comment back right now, they send you message and tons of other comment saying: “You’re online and you didn’t answer my comment, so I’m sending you a message… blah blah blah”

I just can’t understand why people can be patient

And about images, well, a lot of comment are totally same:
“Oh, you look so awesome on this picture.”
“Cute!!!”
“Nice pose…”
etc.

And no one don’t comment pictures like they are, for example, I can’t see images with opposite comment, everything is “prefect” always or everybody is pretending that everything is perfect…

It’s quite monotone and when people get so bored, they delete their account… So the question is, why all this wasting of time if you’ll delete your account one day???

That’s my view of MySpace.com, I want to hear your opinion, so comment

To be continued… (Next: Bulletins and spaming)

Thanks for reading,
Vladimir

Hello everybody,

My name is Vladimir and this will be my blog. I’m 17 years old (very soon 18) and I live in Serbia. I had blog once here at WordPress.com but I deleted it because nobody comment and visit my blog. I hope that this will be changed with this new account. I’ll try to post as much as I can.

Primary use of this blog will be practicing my English. It’s a bit bad and I’m intending to fix it .

As I said, I’m hoping that you will visit my blog and read it of course. I’ll be writing about everything interesting for me and I think that I’ll put this blog on my website: World of Vladimir.com

Feel free to give me a lot of critique

Thanks for reading,
Vladimir
P.S. It’s great to be back
