Am revenit in “blogosfera”. Mai mult de o luna de cand nu am mai scris. Nici nu am avut timp, si cand aveam timp nu simteam nevoia sa scriu. Am preferat sa stau mai  mult cu ai mei pe afara, decat sa mai pun in gand pe blog. Si mi`a venit cheful sa scriu ascult o melodie super veche care pot sa spun ca mi`a marcat copilaria. Si am fost si la vot, si am votat cu Antonescu ( pacat ca nu a intrat in turul 2 ). Pe 6 decembrie daca o sa fiu in stare sa merg la vot o s`o fac ( dat fiind faptul ca sambata seara il serbam pe Aly, face si el 20 ).

Am vazut ca in grupul nostru e destula miscare, si promit ca n 2-3 zile sa ma pun si eu la punct cu ultimele noutati. Semnat, al tau prieten, Matei.

PS: Si melodia care mi`a amintit ca mai am ceva de spus, ca mereu voi avea.

Numarul 13 nu a fost un numar cu ghinion pentru cei doi realizatori a binei cunoscute serie “South Park”.

Cartman, Kyle, Stan si Kenny au incheiat de curand si cel de-al 13-le sezon “South Park”.

Printre episoadele importante ale acestui sezon se numara episodul “Dead Celebrities”, dedicat in mare parte lui Michael Jackson, episodul “Fishsticks” – o satira binemeritata plasata lui Kanye West, si evident episodul “The Ring”, o parodie adresata canalului Disney, dar cu precadere fratilor Jonas.

Asa cum am fost obisnuiti, Kenny ne-a parasit in aproape toate episoadele, dar s-a intors printre noi de fiecare data. Cartman a lasat deoparte visul de a castiga 10 milioane de dolari, dar si-a dedicat viata dreptatii (ep. The Coon), iar Butters s-a transformat in pimp. (ep. Butters Bottom Bitch).

De asemenea Cartman s-a apucat de cantat, interpretand piesa “Poker Face” a lui Lady GaGa in episodul “Whale Whores”.

Puteti urmari episoadele in intregime pe site-ul lor oficial.

Idag har jag åkt tåg hem till min familj.
Jag åker från träningsboendet en gång i månaden och reser hem.
Men det känns konstigt …
Kan man ha två hem?
Bo i en egen lägenhet, och sedan resa till familjen fem dagar i månaden?

Idag var jag även på stan, hittade en bra skiva.
Baby you know I’m cute
But you have forgot I have the raw scream inside me

He liked to believe that the song by Eminem was inspired by him, but he knew it wasn’t true. He liked to believe many things but he was too old and too knowledgeable to ever really be able to fool himself.
He knew that some of these scions of hell thought of themselves as more than finite archetypes marking the current age’s vision of what the devil might be, but he knew better. He had gone into exile so long ago that he was sure no one remembered him – except some minor file clerk in the halls of Heaven who had been banished to a similar exile in one of the dusty sub-basements of Heaven’s Central filing office.
He was considered to be toothless now – no kind of threat to anyone at all except maybe himself. It got him angry sometimes – who likes to be thought of as a has-been? No one that he knew, that was for sure. But seriously what constituted flexing his muscles these days? Killing a pigeon as it landed on his windowsill? Giving a cockroach heart palpitations? Whatever he was doing it was not the stuff of which legends are made.
Stan has become, he hated even giving voice to the thought: ‘Boring.’ Did it happen with the dropping of the A? The moving from the cutting edge to this beige suburbia? Maybe. He had gone to seed, that was all he knew.
He took out a cigarette from the pack, did the old trick with the flame leaping out of the tip of his thumb, and smiled. Small things amuse those with small minds, and perhaps, after an eternity of living within the means of a small character he had learned to play on threat of annihilation, he had downsized. Ambition was not a word he bandied about anymore – he was not the arrogant Morningstar who had been cast down from heaven – that was for the newer iterations.
Boring life: boring eternal life – he needed to do something to spice it up.

Okay...here are two of the three. Ollie will hang with the group...but it's not easy to catch him on camera.

The animal farm is such a joy! I’ve been able to take many photos over the last few weeks…and the challenge is to share them all. I am getting very close to having a photo of all three….but for now it’s still that Lucy and Stan show.

Stay tuned for more photos…the dog park (Pt Isabel) and Metro Dog. Lucy has so much dog social interaction. She meets so many dogs…and thus I meet so many more people!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I am more than grateful for Stan, Ollie, and Lucy…and of, course, my people family and friends.

Milan Bandić je kupio penthouse stan vrijedan više od 500 000 Eura,no prema njegovim riječima sve je legalno,on je više od 500 000 Eura uštedio od svog rada a prethodno je i prodao manji stan. Ovo je jedna u nizu aferi koju je pokrenio Bandić,prisjetimo se još i toga kako se Bandić svojevremeno rastao od svoje sadašnje supruge u svrhu stjecanja materijalnog dobra, stana u Gundulićevoj ulici na kojeg ne bi imala pravo kao supruga Milana Bandića. Naravo, kad su papiri za stan bili riješeni, Bandi(ti)ći su ponovo sklopili brak.

Bathed from head to ankle
In societal waters
That numb the flesh
To natural sensations,
You are protected.

No sensuous dagger
Shall pierce you,
Drowned as you are,
But beware the arrowheads
That aim low,

For at your base
You are weakest.

Bon dimanche (et merci pour lui !)

Voua nu vi se pare ca timpul pur si simplu zboara si orice am face fuge, ceea ce este mai rau ca nu timpul trece ci chiar noi trecem fara sa ne dam seama de asta si fara sa realizam ceva important care chiar sa ramana in istorie ca un lucru foarte important realizat de un om tot atat de important.

Oamenii, in lumea in care traim, nu mai sunt catalogati prin ceea ce fac ci prin ceea ce par sa faca sau prin ceea ce fac cei din anturajul lor. Un om important in zilele noastre este acel om care sta pe langa un alt om important care a ajuns important prin aceleasi metode. Oamenii importantii in zilele noastre mai sunt si oamenii cu bani care se crede ca pot face totul si nimic nu le poate sta in cale, acesti oameni au devenit importanti datorita faptului ca au furat. Aceasta pare putin o culme, adica este ceva extraordinar facand ceva ilegal sa ajungi un om important, dar uite ca asta este posibil (mai ales in Romania).

Mie mi se pare ca timpul prea a iesit pe autostrada si nu are limitator de viteza sau ceva care sa-l incetineasca, eu v-as indemna pe fiecare sa plantam “stop-uri” pe marginea drumului, asta putem face numai prin reusirea a ceva important care sa ne ocupe timpul cu folos deoarece majoritatea timpului nostru trece fara nici un “stop”.

Spune si tu Stop!
Opreste timu-n loc!

Alokasi Lulusan STAN 2009

This was the last episode of the 13th season of South Park. That makes me sad. Wednesday nights will be forever emptier because of this. Well, not forever more. They’ll be better again in a few months when South Park is back.

In this episode, the boys go to the local water park, Pi Pi’s, where Kyle opts to stay out of the water indefinitely due to its incredibly high concentration of urine. Cartman, however, is disappointed for other reasons: the water park is filled with minorities.

Black people.

Mexicans.

Chinese.

He thinks he even saw some Native Americans.

This, of course, is less stated than it is sung in a beautiful song. Trey Parker is quite the composer – always has been. Indeed, Cartman predicts that the Mayans got the year of the Apocalypse wrong and that rather then 2012, it’s actually happening in 2009, since the water park has been taken over by minorities and Cartman is the “last of his kind.”

When warned that the pee content of his water park is so high that the park is on the verge of disaster, Pi Pi does nothing – to the detriment of human kind . . . well, human kind currently in attendance at his water park. With the urination of one final little girl, the water becomes 100% pee and disaster ensues. Everything goes to hell – in Cartman’s eyes, the Mayan Apocalypse.

In order to drain the pee from the park, Kyle has to hold his breath and swim through it down to an underwater release valve, but in order to do that he must first drink pee in order to avoid the bends. Since pee grosses him out so much, this is obviously a monumental task. It’s pretty hilarious listening to the other boys be honest about all the things they do related to pee that Kyle considers unacceptable:

- pee in the shower

- pee in the pool

- not wash their hands after peeing

Gross!! I’d never not wash my hands after peeing. Yeah . . . never . . .

Obviously the moment Kyle drank the pee they were all rescued, since is was discovered that the antidote to anger caused by the overexposure to pee is bananas. And yes, the part where the monkeys got angry while getting urinated on was hilarious and disgusting.

Funny enough, I loved that Kyle hated bananas so much and had to eat one after drinking the pee. Why? My wife loves most foods but HATES bananas. She finds them revolting, particularly the smell. Sometimes to be cruel when we’re at the grocery store I’ll hold a bunch of bananas behind her head and then say her name so that she turns around and finds them there. She hates that. I’m very mature.

This wasn’t a killer episode like a few of the other poignant ones this season, but it was amusing, particularly the unbearably racist sentiments that got called out and exposed for being illogical: minorities are beginning to make up the majority. Get used to it. It’s okay and that’s where things were going. We’re all immigrants – thanks White Stripes.

An interesting aside: there was a commercial for Avatar during South Park, which is interesting because last week’s episode made fun of Avatar and showed South Park being really angry that the movie was ripping off something else (I asked what that something else was but nobody knew to tell me).

What’d you think of this episode? Did you like it? What did you think about the 13th season? Which episode was your favorite.

Kemudian acara dilanjutkan dengan Sambutan Menteri Keuangan. Dalam kesempatan ini, Menteri Keuangan menyampaikan banyak hal. Diantaranya pesan kepada para wisudawan untuk menjaga amanah sebagai PNS, sehingga dapat dipercaya, memiliki integritas moral yang tinggi, serta melaksanakan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya dengan penuh dedikasi. Para lulusan yang nantinya bekerja di instansi pemerintah dituntut untuk terus bekerja keras dalam melaksanakan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya.

Selain itu, para lulusan STAN diharapkan menjadi motor penggerak kemajuan dan perubahan di instansi masing-masing nantinya, memiliki sikap dan keinginan untuk selalu maju. Menteri Keuangan juga mengingatkan akan beratnya tantangan di masa depan di Lingkungan Departemen Keuangan khususnya dalam menghasilkan Laporan Keuangan Pemerintah Pusat agar mencapai target untuk memperoleh opini Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian di tahun 2011, dengan berpedoman pada Standar Pelaporan.

Selain itu secara khusus Menteri Keuangan berpesan kepada Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara untuk terus meningkatkan mutu pendidikan dan pembelajaran, mempertahankan yang sudah baik serta meningkatkan yang belum baik. Dengan telah berubah status menjadi BLU, STAN diharapkan mampu mengembangkan diri untuk terus maju, dan anggaran yang cukup besar yang diberikan kepada STAN tahun ini diharapkan dapat memperbaiki seluruh fasilitas kampus, baik itu gedung, sarana prasarana, maupun “isi”nya, yaitu dapat berupa fasilitas belajar mengajar yang baik, buku-buku perpustakaan yang lengkap yang bertujuan untuk menimba ilmu dan menggali pengetahuan. Sekolah tinggi Akuntansi Negara diharapkan dapat menjadi Kampus Terbaik di Indonesia.


Acara dilanjutkan dengan penyerahan kenang-kenangan kepada Menteri Keuangan, Pembacaan Ikrar Anti-Korupsi, dan penandatanganan Pakta Integritas oleh wisudawan serta Serah Terima secara simbolis lulusan STAN dari Kepala BPPK kepada Sekretaris Jenderal Depkeu.

Tak lupa seluruh Keluarga Besar Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara mengucapkan selamat kepada para lulusan Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara, selamat memasuki dunia kerja, semoga dapat mengemban tugas dan tanggung jawab yang diberikan dengan baik. Maju terus lulusan STAN.

Revin cu aceasta postare dupa o zi de scoala in care am cam avut parte de tot ce se poate. M-am enervat putin pe o profesoara deoarece am fost din nou victima nedreptatii dar recunosc nu m-am putut stapanii chiar asa de bine. Cum ziceam si intr-o postare anterioara “toata lumea nedreptateste” dar ca profa mea nu este nimeni, cel putin din ce cunosc eu.

Am intarzaiat cu un proiect 1 saptamana din motive care nu tineau neaparat de mine si anume ca am fost bolnav si pentru asta mi-a scazut 3 puncte din proiect pe care mi-a dat nota 7. Nu eram asa de indignat daca luam 4 dar cand stiu ca m-am straduit sa ii fac un proiect de nota 10 si ea ma dezavantajeaza pentru ca am facut ceva ce nu tinea neaparat de mine. Oricum a fost o gresala care putea sa o indrepte daca ar fi vrut dar ea nu stie sa discute normal cu nimeni pentru ca pur si simplu nu te lasa sa ii zici nimic. Oricum lasam asta…

Maine urmeaza o noua zi care va aduce si necazuri dar nu conteaza pentru ca sunt pregatit pentru orice. Deci nu o sa ma gandesc la ceea ce ar putea sa aduca ziua de maine pentru mine pentru ca nu are nici un rost si nu as rezolva nimic cu asta.

Poate o sa mai revin in aceasta seara cu ceva postare sau ceva pe blog dar acum nu am o dispozitie necesara si nici inspiratia pe care o am pe la ora 1 sau 2 in noapte cand in jurul meu e liniste si pot sa ascult o voce interioara care nu se aude nicicand mai bine ca si noaptea. Oricum bucurati-va de ceea ce aveti la momentul acesta si nu fiti nemultumiti pt ca nu aveti ceva. Enjoy.

That’s my new word.  I learned it today watching a comercial for South Park, to which I thought, “this is brilliant… ‘craptastic.’”

It means:

craptastic (adjective) : the opposite of fantastic, expressing how phenomenally bad something is.

That movie was craptastic.

Long time no blog! Maaf untuk pengunjung setia. karena pemilik blog ini baru saja mengalami masa vakum selama 2 minggu, dikarenakan kegiatan non-kuliah yang padat. Lho? kok non-kuliah? Karena memang minggu-minggu terakhir kuliah sangat minim di kampus saya. Sehingga saya sibuk oleh kegiatan lain, yaitu persiapan “Kuliah Umum Perpajakan” yang alhamdulillah sudah terlaksana tahap 1 pada tanggal 15 November kemarin di Puspiptek Serpong. Dan rencananya kan diadakan tahap 2 di Direktorat Jenderal Pajak.

Dan mulai minggu ini, jadwal kuliah saya kembali normal, karena pembangunan di beberapa gedung sudah mendekati akhir. Contohnya, di gedung E tempat saya kuliah, lantai 2 dan lantai 3 sudah bisa dipakai, walaupun kadang masih berdebu dan harus dibersihkan sendiri. Tapi suatu kemajuan lah.

Akhirnya saya harus mengucapkan selamat datang kepada mata kuliah baru untuk semester 3 ini, yaitu Ekspor-Impor, Statistika, Bahasa Inggris I, PBB dan BPHTB, Akuntansi Biaya, dan Komputer Perkantoran. Mereka akan menemani PPnBM dan Bea Materai, PPh Potput, dan Akuntansi Intermediate yang sebelumnya menemani kuliah saya di gedung I.

Sebagai informasi, mungkin untuk mata kuliah baru itu hanya mendapatkan jatah 6 kali pertemuan, karena jadwal yang sudah mepet, sehingga sebagai kompensasi, tiap kali pertemuan untuk mata kuliah itu akan diperpanjang 1 SKS atau sekitar 50 menit.

Okay guys, mungkin akan saya lanjutkan dengan tulisan-tulisan saya berikutnya, see you all!

I know that very few, if any, of you care, and frankly I don’t expect you to. But it’s down to the last two in this year’s Australian Idol, and since I’ve actually watched about half the shows, I thought I’d do a breakdown of the two contestants, Hayley and Stan.

SINGING ABILITY

Stan has a great voice; velvety smooth, it’s definitely in the mould of an R & B superstar (think Usher with a neck tattoo). He’s the male counterpart to Paulini, even down to the judges mocking him about his dress sense and weight. Hayley, on the other hand, is not in the competition for her singing (as that obviously makes so much sense); she sounds like a supergeneric rock/pop starlet, except with the range of Leonard Cohen. As I type this, she’s singing her debut single, and I’ve gotta be honest, she can’t hit the notes. When you can’t sing a song that has been designed specifically for your voice, there’s something wrong.

Winner: Stan

IMAGE

Image may seem like a stupid, unnecessary criterion, but the judges seem to think it’s imperative to popularity, and to a certain extent I agree. The Hives are well-known for their matching suits; Angus Young still rocks out in a school uniform despite being a geriatric codger; Britney Spears wears nothing, and people love her for it. In regards to the contestants: Stan seems to be all over the place with his style, one song wearing ill-fitting waistcoats, the next rocking a dress that some brilliant prankster has convinced him is actually a shirt. He is well and truly dominated in this category by Hayley, who worked out early on that to simply wear every piece of item for sale at the surf shop where she works would do the trick. And amazingly, it does!

Stan’s marketing nous is more developed than you may think, though, as his neck tattoo allows him to tap into the burgeoning culture of “inking it up” (yes, it’s become so big that it is no longer a subculture). Though since the target audience of this show is 12 year old girls, maybe this isn’t the smartest idea- it’s probably more scary, and less endearing, to them. Hayley doesn’t have any tatts, but she does have superb bags under her eyes, meaning she is able to relate to the drug addicts of Australia in a way Stan could never dream of- mainly because he doesn’t do drugs.

Winner: Hayley

ABILITY TO BALANCE AN EGG IN A SPOON

I think Hayley would probably win this due to her skateboarding proclivity, and hence better balance.

Winner: Hayley

POPULARITY

Alright, whoever wins this is ultimately the winner of the show, thus making the previous three categories obsolete. Sorry for wasting your time guys!

Stan is undeniably popular; hell, even I’ve thought about voting for him once or twice. But that’s exactly the problem- I’d only vote for him to help him out against Hayley, because it seems as though the entire audience is in love with her. Honestly, it’s surreal. She is, hands down, the most popular contestant in Idol history. And for that simple, blindingly obvious reason, she will win.
