Important news

(entry can also be found at brnobve blog)

Right guys,

this moment is a bit special for me, and I am not quite sure where to start. As I have mentioned in my previous blog entry, changes are a part of our lives. Despite that, though, there are some changes, which are hard to carry out. I can imagine you have probably lived through some of them as well. As you can tell by the title, I will be leaving my home city, Brno. Hence my lower activity on the BVE scene.

I have spent here 28 and half year of my life, so I got sort of used to the place and it will be a bit odd to just pack my things and go away. But there is a new place waiting for us, which me and my wife have been building for the past few months. It does cost a lot of effort and funds to build a new home for your family; and as any other normal (that stands for not winning a lottery or not stealing anything) family, we had to take a loan for it. It is a bit worrying, but there is not much else you can do if you want to have a reasonable place to live I guess…

So, that is one big news revealed. In fact, we are not moving far away from Brno and we might still visit the city quite often, since I have family here, but I sometimes feel like preferring loneliness and calmness instead, for which the new place will be just about ideal. Not for long though, because the other news is that there is a child coming our way in September. We do not know the gender yet, but we are both looking forward to have him / her. Speaking for myself, I am very well aware this is probably going to be the toughest challenge in my life so far, but I feel ready to accept this challenge.

A quick heads up – I will be moving on Saturday on Sunday, so I might be without a proper Internet connection for a while. I beg your patience with this respective matter. I have already selected a new Internet provider, but I cannot really tell when they will come to my place and install the service.

None of the above has been purchased from donations.      

Thank you all! 

The D-day has come today and I am all over the place. Not sure where I put this or that, it will be fun unpacking all those boxes and find out what they hide (even if they are labelled   ). Right, going to pack my PC now, so see you on Monday (or tomorrow, if we manage to unpack all the things quickly). I hope the mods will take care of the place (well, it has been rather nice and peaceful lately), and the established members of the community will help them out with keeping the place tidy if needed.

To asnwer your question, Quork... I think the domain can stay the same, I am moving just about 20 km away from Brno. Moreover, nobody wants to bookmark a new address every year, right?   

See you!

Thank you, Ben.

I am not entirely sure what you are suggesting with the "reins handover" upon my kid's arrival, but I am more than sure the staff team does not and will not require any changes in the close future. Everything seems to be working well and over the years, this place has become a place I like returning to. If that is the case for some more of you, guys, then I have achieved my goal (at least partly  ). The time might move on and flow by as a river, but as long as a thing has a rock solid basis, it's not going to be washed away.

Looks like it is a girl!  

Thank you very much, guys, trust me, all these kinds words are highly appreciated. The following is being a bit personal, but we are in the off topic chat anyway, so I think it might not bother anyone. Just don't read it if you are not interested. Simple, 

Today, I have seen one TV series, which has turned out to come up with a very sad ending, which made me think about life. Strangely enough; the people in my surroundings have been fantastic with their support, expressing empathy towards us having a baby, but I still have depressions, which is absolutely shocking. I mean, where do these depressions come from, what is wrong?

Coming back to the original thought - the series I was watching was How I met your mother. Imagine the main character spent like 9 years looking for the right person to spend life with and when, in the last episode, it was finally told he has found "the one", like 20 minutes later it was also mentioned she got ill and died a some years later. Now what the actual fuck? I know, it is just reflecting the real life, but isn't there enough real disasters, breakups and deaths?

Maybe it is some kind of insecurity creeping into my mind - as shown on the TV, you never know what might happen in the next hour, week, not even talking about years. And there I was sitting on a couch today, with my hand on my wife's belly (we can already feel the movement of our daughter) and realizing what sort of world the baby has to come into. Many people have turned into duds, just looking for their own profit - they will do literally anything for their own good. A couple of eluted or maybe drunk brains are stomping each other's mud pies. And there's more happening, but should I name it, I would probably spend a couple of days doing that.

No, I am not being paranoid, I know there still are good people in this world, even if they are getting hard to find. And if the search for good people and friends was difficult for me, it will probably be even more difficult for our daughter.

Maybe this is something that is frightening me along with the insecurity of tomorrow... as a parent, I will need to become more responsible, watch my behavior much more, since the baby / kid is going to copy me... and the most difficult part in this world is rising the kid to a honest person. May we both be good enough to do this. And may it never happen what happened in that stupid series that has pretty much ruined my day.
