Awesome husband, friend, cook and soon to be adoptive father. When he's not killing bulls, wrestling crocodiles, shooting aliens or saving children from fires, he plays with pictures. His collages tell magnificent stories and his stile is incredibly unique and awesome. Most likely the coolest person I know.

Marek vs. Dragos, Dacia vs. Lada, absolutely ridiculous spoilers, hubcaps for rims, flames and racing stripes, an ak47 to start the race. Oh did I mention the girls?
Unfortunately I'm starting off with a tragedy. I watched my friend Lia die this saturday on a hospital bed in brooklyn. It was terrible but what made it worse was the way the people working at the Romanian Consulate in NY reacted to the situation. Normally under such circumstances the hospital informs the Consulate through a letter of the situation and the Consulate takes it from there doing everything possible to bring the relatives here (this is what most countries do). Some countries even expatriate deceased people at their own expense if they have nobody here to take care of them. We presented the Romanian Consulate with a letter from the hospital describing my friend's condition and requested that the parents be brought to NY. We were given a response on the lines of 'we can't directly contact the Romanian embassy...its illegal. You will have to ask the hospital to do that.' They then gave us a letter for the hospital asking them to contact the Romanian embassy directly. It was a game of back and forth while Lia was fading away silently. Now I understand that there are policies and laws which i might not be familiar with but it seems some of the people that work there lost their souls to the roles they adopted. Any opinions or personal experiences are most welcome. I can personally say that i detest going there for any reason.
I could not believe my eyes today when from curiosity i typed in this old blogs address. It was still generating traffic after 3 years of inactivity. Albeit in minimal amounts but still, i felt compelled so here we go again. I'm resurrecting the site and we'll see what happens from here. I'm going to write in English because if you have the ability to surf the intertubes then you can most likely understand English. So hopefully with a broader audience and older, more mature moderator(s), the site will do better than it did when Phil and I started it back in 2006. Here we go...
