Energija probuzdenija i ja!!! Energy of awakening and me!!! Vi bivali kogda nibud na vistavke sobak? have you ever been at a dog show? nashe delo tabak... we have real problems (a cliche from Russian which have nothing to do with "tabak" - tobacco) Da ja zge starij dobrij Opta-Hotza-Htzulo-Dzigit! But I am good old ... govorjat prosto bolnoi, ta nichego zhe ne bolit! Somebody said I am sick but I really have no pain (in Russian bolet' (be sick) and bol' (pain) have the same root) Nelzja ponjat, nelzja izmerit, tolko brasat', i tolko vvis!... One cannot understand, one cannot change one can only throw and only up high! |
