“Small work”, big (bull)shit indeed
by Primož on May.20, 2010, under Maelstrom
I’m still a little shaken after watching videos, browsing through pictures and reading news and reports from yesterday’s student protest. I still cannot believe that a horde of drunken students and pupils (most of them even underage!), largely without a proper clue as to the reason of this gathering (except of course of getting drunk and having a day off), did so much damage to the Parliament, hurt many policemen who bravely stood in their way and left a myriad of garbage lying around.

It’s all about wood and nature
by Primož on Apr.12, 2010, under Experience
A few days ago I posted an article about my trip to Rieneck to the IMWe event, but that’s not all I have to share from that wonderful meeting. During the week I was participating in the Art workshop, where I discovered that my drawing skills aren’t so bad after all. Here are some of the drawings I did during this time, which I feel have come out quite nicely.
Enjoy!
IMWe 2010
by Primož on Apr.09, 2010, under Experience, Maelstrom
This year I gave myself the best birthday present ever. I took a week off and went to the Internationale Musische Werkstatt (IMWe) in Rieneck, Germany.
Initially I had some thoughts about whether or not should I go, but in the end I grabbed the opportunity and departed. And this was, without any doubt, one of the best decisions in my life. I had so much fun, met many new wonderful friends and scouts from all over Europe. It was a week filled with various captivating activities, interesting discussions and chats, and many great moments spent together with other scouts. Simply an amazing experience. (continue reading…)
Uncle Tony watched the stars
by Primož on Mar.08, 2010, under Maelstrom
I’ve recently realised it’s been a long… heck no, it’s been a downright dirty and awfully enormous amount of time since I’ve written a poem. To tell the truth, I haven’t ever tried writing poetry in English before, but there was a phase during the elementary school during which I was doing this at an almost weekly basis (in Slovenian language of course). Now, I’m no poet, and I’m fully aware that most of the “rhymes” I scribble on paper are only good for providing a faster combustion of the cellulose when setting a fire, but I do get some sudden inspirational flashes that contain a hint of wit I feel it’s worth sharing.
As it happens, there was an occasion last week, when I suddenly felt (out of boredom) that I need to write a poem about a guy that likes to watch the stars. Since the title might imply that this song is boring, I must disappoint you, this is not the case (well, at least I laughed when writing it), and I feel obliged to warn you, that it’s not a song to be read to children as a lullaby.
Not so Yummy Pie

I follow the Akismet spam statistic of Time Recursion and empty the spam bin quite regularly (about twice a week), mostly because I hate being welcomed to my Dashboard by the message: “You have 79 new spam comments” and because I secretly hope that Akismet made a mistake and I did receive a comment with some content. Sadly I’m mostly wrong, and this plug-in really does a wonderful job. (continue reading…)
A mirror, hammer and a string
by Primož on Dec.23, 2009, under Maelstrom
These days I rarely take time to think, theorize, or simply reflect on current problems and my decisions… reflect… such a nice word that embraces both time and space. It actually means “to recreate” and review. Well, right now I happen to have time to do this. To review things and realign my ambitions and plans. Even the weather is appropriate, warm and sunny, a completely different situation compared to the past weekend, and the ambient, music and the tea I’m drinking, make all of this easier and pleasant.
Yesterday I was suddenly struck by an urge to grab my guitar and play some music. The thing is, my guitar’s at home, so I borrowed one from one of my friends for a short time. It’s funny though, I’ve never felt the need or such a strong desire to play this instrument before. It was always either because I had to practice, or because I didn’t have anything better to do. This time it was the other way around. And it still is, so I’m quite anxious to come home this Thursday and put my hands on my guitar. Might aswell take some time to learn to play some new songs.

From darkness to light
by Primož on Dec.06, 2009, under Maelstrom
Guess what? Time Recursion is back! After more than two weeks of complete darkness, the blog is finally lit up. Litterarily, almost like a Christmass tree. My old hosting provider, Talkhost, has ended it’s free hosting program, so I had to find another one. It’s quite sad, really, because in all those years, starting in the middle of August 2004 (that was even before Time Recursion was created), the Talkhost users and staff have become like a second family to me. Regretfully, as you can see, Time Recursion is far from it’s former shape. I didn’t have a recent backup, and all I could find was a month old database dump, so all the pictures in the previously posted articles are missing. I’ll try and find them again, but I fear it’s going to be an impossible task (except for the ones I took myself). Unless a spark of luck shines in my direction and the Talkhost owner contacts me back with the backup. But that’s a bit optimistic at this time, I guess.
How to safeguard your gadgets: Introduction
by Primož on Aug.30, 2009, under Maelstrom
Nowadays we’ve become quite dependant on various electronic gadgetry, and there is hardly a day, that we don’t text, call, or in any other way contact somebody, look up for various information, or simply play around with our multi-functional cellphone, mp3, laptop or who-knows what else. Because of lightning fast advancements in high-technology, most of this gadgets pose with a colorful palette of options and features (which are mostly without any practical value, but do help us shovel away more time, trying to figure out what to do with them), luring us into entrusting them with more of our personal data and thus making themselves even more indispensable.
This is good in a way, since we have instant access to almost everything we need wherever we go, but what happens if we loose, misplace, or God forbid, someone steals our precious cellphone? In that case my friends, we’re on a roller-coaster that has a stinky pond as a final stop, in other words, we’d be better off losing our wallet.
Water, I need water!
by Primož on Jul.26, 2009, under Maelstrom
The rain has softly passed our soil during night time, but just barely decreased the temperature and increased the unbearable humidity. The lack of a proper air conditioner only adds to the alarmingly high level of boredness and at the same time, the wish for doing nothing at all all day.
On the bright side, I’ve finally sweeped off the dust off my guitar and started practicing again. After almost two years of hiatus I’m actually pleasantly surprised that I still remember all chords that I knew before and can find most of their scales without having to look them up. There is one downside though. My fingers aren’t used to the metallic strings of my acoustic guitar anymore, so the progress is quite slow. It’ll also take some time to regain my previous agility in changing chords and staying in rhythm, which is proving to be quite a pain in the ass right now.
Time, perception and fare
by Primož on Jun.29, 2009, under Maelstrom
I know, I know. I’m late. Again. Well, it seems like you’ll have to get used to it. However, the site itself gives me a pretty good excuse for this seemingly outrageous time gap in my writing. There is no time. So technically, everything is happening at exactly the same time, but since you don’t have the ability to foresee the future, my time bubble is impenetrable, and thus the news come with a delay.
Anyway, I’m at the University right now, just finished writing an exam, and am preparing for two more that are coming this Friday. (continue reading…)
