I can't believe it, Bulgaria  -
you've repeated the same mistake. 
You're no better than the USA: 
you've re-elected a clown. 
As they say, and you can repeat now, 
(call it Englenski 101) :
fool me once, shame on you 
fooled me twice, shame on me. 

And truth be told (or blogged, really) 
Bush a.k.a Dubya 
wasn't all that much worse 
than the Pumpkin a.k.a 
Boiko The Clown...!  

You want to keep those bozos on 
as your bogus heroes, Bulgaria? 
Keep them then! 
We wash our hands of this! 
The rest of the world 
-not merely the European Union- 
washes its hands of this! 


Live with the consequences 
of your choices...

Dobrei!


It is odd that a Bulgarian would think that...
After all, his forefathers were most likely communists.
And communists are masters at ingeniously finding ways 
to take pauses while doing nothing...


Da!

Now That Is A Nice Dream

Честит Трети март!

Be it the Day of Liberation or the Day of Independence (I understand that the debate is still on about that) - today is the celebration of FREEDOM, by any other name, for all Bulgarians! 
And to all freedom-lovers and freedom-seekers there an abroad, I wish thee a GREAT ONE!  
For the time of oppression has to come to an end: Boiko The Clown and his array of pumpkinheads have to disappear, once and for all, in order for TRUE LIBERATION TO COME, AT LAST!  May it be a total and complete liberation indeed: one from the tyrannical remnants of communism, from a system that is rotten to the core, from the corruption lying under its underbelly, from the organized crime and the unsightly Whore...!  Moreover, may it be a liberation from the hideous side of oneself: and may only the beautiful aspects of Bulgaria live on and thrive on after this wave of changes and gust of fresh air that is about to sweep the nation from Vitosha to the Black Sea!  And no commies, no gypsies, no mafiosos and no pumpkins can stop it now!  


VIVA BULGARIA - LIBRE!  
;-)

Post-Bloggum - How ironic this is, that they staged so many protests against the awful austerity measures reminiscent of old communist regime tactics; protests with record numbers of participants, in 20 different cities to boot, all across a country that appears to have more and more ties with Bulgaria as time goes by... Portugalia!   And how ironic that all these protests were staged very nearly on the same day (okay, give or take less than 24 hours; still pretty much the same day) of ''liberation'' for Bulgaria, the dormant lion of Europa, days after and before Bulgaria's own wave of protests too!  Portugalia and Bulgaria are linked through many very distinct traits: and it is not just because the Bulgarian government was, most recently, before the Pumpkin's resignation, willing to buy old  fighter jets from Portugal for hundreds of millions...!  Thank you for contributing to the reboot of the Portuguese economy, though - merci!   It could really due to the many similarities found in the respective cultures, traditions, folklore and even language and idioms. What about the rakia and agua ardente: are they close cousins or what! But no, the real reason is this, of course: the king and queen of Europa, married in Sofia and exiled... in Canada? Yours truly - and she!  No need to involve the Canadiana tis time out, though - however, to further this line of *luminous connections* we strongly encourage all to drop y our sister site/brother blog... Portuguese Dreams!   Muito Obrigado!  :-)

Venceremes!

Dream On, Bulgarians!

Bulgarians, like many others throughout the globe, 
aspire for better pricing for everything -
it is especially true when your country knows 
what horrendous torture the hazy shade of winter can be 
and when that sentiment is tripled 
by collusion between the only suppliers 
of electricity in your country...


So, yes, dream on Bulgarians: 
keep on dreaming of better prices 
for your heating bills; 
for it could be worse...

Your country could be stuck 
in a provincial subdivisional system 
that subsidizes a monopolistic regime 
of electricity distribution... 
(Hmm... Canadian Dreams, anyone?)

Nota Bene: Canada welcomes all Bulgarians...!

Португалката Сузана и българските светулки


Поли Златарева ни разказа един репортаж за португалката Сузана Жезус - 
инженер-геодезист в Европейския център за ядрени изследвания ЦЕРН, 
дошла в България, в село Брестово. Вижте видеоматериала.

бнт TV reporter Polly Zlatareva told us one heart-warming story 
about Portuguese dame Susanna Zhezus - an engineer surveyor employed by 
the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN 
who came to Bulgaria to set up her home in the village Brestovo. 
The primary cause of this: the fireflies. 
And she is fluent in Bulgarian, too!
See the video - here.

Comments left on бнт's own website were few 
(considering that over 9000 had read the article, 
at blogging time here) 
but enthusiastic and impressed 
with the interest of a foreigner 
for one of their old beaten up village  
such as Brestovo there... 

In fact, sometimes, the comments were just 
oddly enthusiastic... 
Here they are now - 
accompanied with my comments:

Nevena
Wonderful story, I am very excited!
What's that excitement all about, hmm? 
Is Nevena with the hots for Susanna here...? 
Ok - maybe it's just a poor translation 
(again) automatically generated 
by my browser here...

A true Bulgarian! I hope these people come over
If she's a true Bulgarian, 
then I'm a true Italian mafioso, too! 
Hey - maybe she's in cahoots with the mafia, 
too? Isn't the mafia in control 
of everything that goes on, in Bulgaria? 
An engineer from Portugal 
defecting like this; 
makes a hell of a lot more sense 
if it is for mafia money 
rather than for little fireflies 
and a garden!
But that's just my theory...

Milan Rashevski
Thank you Suzanne, thank journalists of бнт Television. 
I bow to people brave enough to seek what makes them happy. 
Unspoiled, tranquil and beautiful soul 
deserves the best support and respect. 
Saudações de Sofia!

Aww... Milan is a charmer! 
He's got the hots for Susanna, too!
Nice touch to go as far as learning 
the salutation format in PT - 
reminds me that, for my part, 
I really do have 
SAUDADES 
de Sofia! 
But that's just me

Milen
Susanna is awesome, BRAVO! Great story. 
There are many Bulgarian values ​​that we can be proud of. 
And one of them is our hospitality and rich spirit ... despite adversity. 
Thank you for this wonderful meeting 
with a Portuguese lady, charming and so real! 
Obrigado, Susana!

Namesake Milen is right: 
Bulgarians can be hospitable 
- that is, when they're not busy 
being envious, rude or worse! 
Just the fact that everybody 
says ``dober den`` to each other 
(on the mountain, anyways) 
is awesome - 
but then, on the city streets, 
any argument can see 
them gang up on you!  
And not letting up! 
Something to be proud of...? 
I don't think so! 
On another front here, 
Milen also has the hots for Susanna! 
And speaking of which...

Ivan 
How can I get in touch with Suzanne? 
Incredibly broadcast! I want to meet her! 
I have a great desire to share something with this woman, 
something very important! E-mail me, but: "esidor@abv.bg". 
If someone could contact her let her pass it to 
send an e-mail address where I can write it. 
Thanks in advance!

Whoa, Don Ivan! 
Hold back your enthusiasm there! 
We know you want to share with her - 
she prefers the company of the fireflies, 
capisce?

Incredibly good for a story, an amazing woman

Yeah, us Portuguese are good 
natural-born storytellers... 
Com toda certeza!

Nikolai D.
Bravo for the story - twinkle light in the darkness in which we live ...

Probably the best, most telling comment of all - 
Nikolai here says so much 
with just one single sentence.
So, Susanna would be like a firefly herself; 
twinkling in the night 
of Bulgarian hum-drum existence...? 
Is her last name truly... Zhezus? 
(Or was that another glitch 
from my browser's translator bot!) 
If so... 
Please don't crucify her, Bulgaria. 
The Jews loved Jesus too, at first... 
(And, since we're on that subject, 
don't crucify me either,  
you Bullies, 
for telling the TRUTH... here!)

Boris Tashkov
I admire the fortitude of Susanna! 
Tya has made a faithful conclusion to come to Bulgaria 
because of the thousands of people knew that 
Bulgaria is heaven on earth, 
so we are born and the oldest civilizations in the world 
with BULGARIAN Neolithic "Hamangia" and Vinchanskata culture 
(6th to 3rd th millennium BC), 
with the great Neolithic culture "Varna" (fifth millennium BC) 
and ezerskata culture of the Bronze Age culture 
with Karanovska giving chronological system Neolithic 
( Neolithic and Eneolithic) on the Balkan Peninsula! 
Congratulation for Susanne, who really has chosen heaven on earth, 
which is known for thousands of years our land, 
the land of big (Ball) ruler (Khan)-Balkans-era: 
Neolithic "Hamangia" and Vinchanskata culture (6th to 3rd th millennium BC), 
the great Neolithic culture "Varna" (fifth millennium BC) 
and ezerskata culture of the Bronze Age culture of Karanovska 
giving chronological system Neolithic 
(Neolithic and Eneolithic) on the Balkan Peninsula. 
The earliest inhabitants of the Balkan Peninsula are the Thracians, 
who come from prototrakiyski people 
from the local population and the Indo-European peoples, 
living in more than 80 different tribal groups to around 500 BC 
when King Teres involves most them under the management 
of Odrysian kingdom conquered by other warlike Thracian tribe 
Edonoi in the early 4th century century BC, 
later conquered around the first century - the Roman Empire. 
After the Romans to fourth centuries, the Goths imposed.

All right, all right, Boris - 
thank you so much for the spontaneous History summary! 
It is undeniable, of course, that the country 
has enormous amounts of history and tradition...
However, your emphasizing so much that Bulgaria
can be purported to be ''heaven on earth'' 
makes the overall intervention seem ''fixed'' 
- and ''Boris'' appear to be no more 
than a propaganda agent 
dispatched by the Pumpkin...!

Lyubomir Nikolov
Wonderful story that fascinates and makes us think.

Think on, Lyu - or as I say on my twitter 
''think it through''...!

marvitch
A unique find, unique story. 
Very strong, very provocative, very human. 
Good for Zlateva. Respect to you and Susanna 
for your humanity and spirituality.

Thought-provoking, maybe:
but hardly ''provocative''...? 
Don't use the excuse now 
to get Susanna down 
and kick her while she's down 
three at a time, 
as you do others...!

Ivanka Doncheva
Congratulations to Polly Zlatareva! 
A great story about an amazing woman - Susanna Zhezus! 

Susanna made Polly's career - hurray! 
Me, I'm thinking through something else...
What were the odds with these names: 
one's a Zhezus...
And the other's a Polly - in Bulgaria? 
Wow.

I do not know Susana, but I know the philosophy of life 
of the peoples of the peninsula Iberiyskiat. 
They are very warm, friendly and dedicated spiritual friends.
 If you are sincere and good man, 
so that from their blood group 
Adding that has a male profession 
and gets a zavladiyavashto vsepokoryavashto girl. 
I do not know why everyone is surprised by the spiritual power, 
so it is normal for people around the world, 
but sadly disappearing in our country. In fact, the need to learn.

Very hard to decipher comment, this last one; 
the automatic translator had a rough time with it, 
quite obviously...
We'll abstain from commenting! 
Here is the original comment -
maybe someone else can comment...?


Iordanka Buyukliyska
Аз не познавам Сусана,но познавам философията на живота на тези народи от Иберийскиат полуостров. Те са много топли, душевно чисти и всеотдайни приятели. Ако си искрен и добър човек,значи,че си от тяхната кръвна група Като се прибави и това,че е с мъжка професия се получава едно завладияващо и всепокоряващо момиче. Не знам защо всички се учудват от душевната мощ, та това е нормално за хората по света ,но за съжаление на изчезване по нашите земи. Всъщност на това трябва да се поучим .

Eu sò espero que nâo te arrependes desta mudança, 
Susanna - é sô isto...!
Cuidado. 
Que Deus Te Protege! 
A ti - e os pirilampos também!
