I love good coffee and ciggys I love to cook although not from recipes I am the invent something with leftover's specialist. I am a wash my hands freak, I always carry a bottle of hand sanitizer. I eat super quick, have to control myself at restaurants not to finish before everyone else. Not competitive whatsoever just a easy as she goes kinda guy unless something I love is in danger then nothing but a bullet can stop me. Very loyal and protective of my family and loved ones.

lol pecca, you have to get the award for the most quirky way to get into balkan things through bulgarian turbofolk ahahahaha :-) i love tofu and lentils...no i am not a vegetarian...!  i eat tofu almost everyday. it makes ur bodi healthier & its much eco-friendly comparing to meats. to produce meats they need looooooooots of foods to be fed for the cattles. its not only for the vegetarians but more people in the world should eat tofu. i know tho other japanese guys of bulgarian turbo folk freaks on the internet. & when i was in the university, i know there was a guy who listen bulgarian turbo folk very much. he sayd that because he was interested in gabrovo jokes, he learned bulgarian, went to bulgaria to study, & he met bulgarian turbo-folk ;D all of the 3 guys have listen to it longer than i

lol peccafly don't worry. The Croats in particular hate turbofolk to the point it's almost policy. That's fine. Though restricting themselves with such things has done them little favours in the music/arts where they fall well behind the rest of ex-Yu. I'm going to come out of the closet with you on it. A lot of it (most) is noise polution but the big hits I mean come on you just gotta get pumped & want to jump on the dance floor. That's my quirky  Here's are my pics of the best... Croatian Turbofolk going off - Sladja - Avantura  Severina  ... Krivi Spoj  Gas Gas Djogani... Cetri Strane Sveta Kralj Diskoteka Cekaj me kod kolima

thx arsenije u seems to like ðogani very much. i ve downloaded their last album & damn ! i do really liked it. i didnt know that croatian singer slaða but the song sounds interesting. thx for the video. & severina, i liked her last album very much, i think its much better than her previous album. yea some croats refused to b a part of balkan so i think there r many people who dont like turbofolk but i know there r some turbo folk singers in croatia & many croats love to listen the music. anyway i dont mind who dont like what. many serbs & bulgarians also hate turbofolk but nobody can force anybody what kind of music to listen / not to listen. i like what i like no matter what the hell somebody says

Caslav Klonimirovic You seem to know a lot about Croatia just by hearing second hand like before when you heard things about Croats while listening to Serbs and Slovenians. Again , I suggest you visit Croatia before drawing full conclusions. I had no idea that they or anyone were in a 'race' when it comes to music and arts. Nor did I realize there was some objective standard of comparison since I thought most opinions of music are aesthetic and subjective. Perhaps you have more information about this? Something I am missing? Anyway , you're right to a degree. A lot of Croats are turned off by turbofolk, at least on the surface, not because they think it sounds bad but because its too similar to what is considered 'Serbian music' even though 'turbofolkish' music is popular throughout the whole region and not just Serbia. Several Croats really like turbofolk and you can hear its subtle influence in some popular Croatian music like you pointed out which is why someone like Severina can make a lot of money selling out concerts. However , as many *really like* it , probably just as many or maybe more *really* don't like it , even secretly. They think it sounds like crap and its appeal is mostly sexual innuendo or some club dance value but far from being considered brilliant music. Anyway, my opinion on it depends on song to song. I like a lot of Arabic , Spanish, Greek, and Turkish music ( Med?). When I hear its influence in Balkan music I tend to like it but then again I can find almost all kinds of art aesthetically pleasing. The first song from that Sladja and her partner. I don't think it was very good at all. She's not even really attractive to compensate and not even the boob job helped. Thumbs down. Severina's Krivi Spoj is much better. It's catchy and its one of those songs that can stick around in your head after hearing it. She isn't very attractive IMO but still pulls off the sexual allure and innuendo quite well. Aside from that , Severina's musical talent is rather diverse. Apparently she has other talents as well.  Thumbs up . Severina's Gas Gas. LOL. In case you didn't notice it she intentionally 'overdid' the turbofolk aspect and really wanted to point out the ironies and idiosyncrasies of the Balkans that seems to be a common thread. Then she went ahead and mixed it with a lot of humor. Thumbs up for creativity! The song by Mile Kitic and Djogani. Eh, starts off interesting and catchy until Mile Kitic starts singing. I don't feel like his voice goes well with the genre of the music which seems more like hip-hop. Djogani does a good job though. Its catchy except when Mile sings some verses. Overall , thumbs up! Kraj Diskoteka - I like the creativity of word usage in the hip hop aspect. The female also has natural good vocals. I don't find it really appealing when it breaks down and she doesn't sing anything but the refrain and its a little annoying . Thumbs down. Cekaj me kod Kolima - Kind of like diskoteka. Just repeating and repeating tough the hip hop lyrics are more creative. Sounds very sexual and probably would be good in several clubs but doesn't sound very great to listen to casually. I don't find anything special about it and find it slightly annoying the longer I listen to it. On top of that the female doesn't pull off the sexual innuendo very well and she isn't a very talented dancer. If they gave her wider options to use her voice , might be better. Over all though, Thumbs down except in particular moods ( some club atmospheres though IMO i can think of about 1000 better songs I'd listen to first in the club atmosphere.)

I see. Just like some Bulgarians who claim they hate turbofolk and that lasts till the third rakia. Then suddenly something deep inside them wakens up and they are on the table. Fvcking snobs.

And why should you meet? To find out who is more capable of talking to him/herself?
Hey, there are private messages for such kind of offers. This is not a dating site ;D

I also really like Arab girls. Matter of fact, I like to surround myself with Arab girls. They are so hot! So soft! Can't get enough of them.

I like to eat baluts. Very tasty Filipino delicacy. Ever have one?
I also like to eat fried scorpions and rattlesnake, too.
I like to eat some really strange sh.it!

Balut:  Hold your nose so you do not smell it. Then you can get by the taste. Nice and crunchy

That looks like a dead eagle baby that didn't even hatch yet. Well more here... I love Japanese girls. Oh man that is one thing I absolutely adore (Korean will do as well). I can't get enough Chicken. You'd think I'm black for this reason. I listen to Soviet-Era Military Music when I work out. No idea why, it gets me pumped and going.  I'm not embarrassed to confront anyone, anywhere, at any given time.

Normally, baluts are duck eggs, but in a pinch, chicken eggs are used.
Soviet-era military music!!! Send me a link and I'll check it out. I listen to US Navy military music myself.

Well, music such as Армия моя by the The Red Army Choir.
BTW, just listen to the entire song. Man it portrays so much power. ;D

Are they rotten or are they pickled in some way? Oh, and I've met Nancy Ajram when I was in Lebanon...she's a reaaally nice person but I like Haifa Wehbi more (I've met her too...also a very nice person):

The balut is either buried or boiled after developing for a while. Not sure if it is boiled just before hatching or some time before.
It is normally not a delicacy non-Asians would enjoy. I know the Vietnamese has their own version. My first balut was a military initiation of sorts, and the others were just to show friends that I could do it!!! They say that I have a cast-iron stomach!
Yes, Nancy Ajram is a very nice person. Thanks for the photo.
Sorry to hear that you had to endure a jerk at that club. Dude needs a good smacking.
I have my battle scars. Long one across the right side of my stomach (knife), across two of my fingers (knife), and a hole in my shoulder blade (bullet). Luckily, I'm okay.
