Chestito, Bulgaria!

We're fast approaching the 150th Anniversary of this...!

The Day Of The Unification!

When two separated lands 

became one again - circa 1865

(click the picture for a magnificent 5-second video 

that totally recaps the re-unification!)

Честит празник!

Da!

OSTAVKATA !!!

Another dream come true...!

The corrupt government that we have beseeched 

ceaselessly -for many, many months now- 

to step down and resign 

has finally abdicated power!

Let us rejoice! 

For now...

(because we never know who or what 

the people may be foolish enough to vote for, 

next time - this coming November!)

Here's to the future...!

(Gulping down a shot of rakia -

choking and coughing optional!)

Ironically enough, however, the word ''победа'' delineates everything, if not at once, according to the specifics of each situation: it can therefore signify victory but also defeat; battle; even a ''coup''...

Only in Bulgaria...!

So... is this the end for Ostavka-Man? 

Nay - we think not! 

For there is much more Resignation here, 

looming on the horizon! 

Resignation that things are doomed to repeat: 

mistakes to be made, over and over again; 

the need for an ostavka periodic, then...! 

For, in the final estimation, 

there is much to say 

about the things that we have got in common, 

Bulgarians and I...

They should surely have an expression, 

already in ancient use, 

that goes along the same way 

my good old motto goes: 

''Hope For The Best

Expect The Worst 

That Way, Nothing Will Surprise Thee!''

One more time...

OSTAVKA... TA!

;-)

The Day Is Almost Here!!!

July Morning - AND Canada Day! Da!

Bulgarians who double up as Canadian-Bulgarian (in the same vein as Canadiens-Français - sort of) can enjoy two songs rather just one on this day of moving, among other things...

First and foremost, there is Uriah Heep's unforgettable anthem...

And then, there is the Canadian anthem, of course (duh!) of which we have found an alternate version, further ''alternated'' by someone who  undeniably thought of inserting a familiar face into the whole thing, for the utmost pleasure of all Bulgarians who love... Russia.

Hey, it could have been worse: it could have been Boiko and his clowns! 

Ha!  OSTAVKA!

But that's another story...!

It Is Time

Aye, Bulgaria - you have to wake up...



so that your fabled land can become, once again, one of those...



and even this...




Força, Bulgaria!
