I have cooking authority, but it's highly based on curiosity and creativity, not skills. Yesterday I was trying to cook falafel, but for some reason everything dissolved to the oil. Maybe the oil was not yet enough hot (between medium and high, but maybe should have waited longer time)? Anyway had excellent hummus instead.

If we go back to the topic of optimism/pessimism, I got again new insights writing e-mails with my friend who I guess have got bad influences from his other friend who has quite pessimistic attitude and who is very neurotic about health issues (with him for example I had long debate about should "permanent side effects" be called "side effects" or something else). They have created together acronyms like "VPTK" and "VPTKTKVM". First one means "fucking shit this everything" and the other one is longer version meaning "fucking shit this everything in this whole fucking world". They have spent few months in Asia and the thing that is bothering constantly in people in that part of the world is that they respect authority, social hierarchy and copy each other's behaviour. Everytime they notice somebody fitting to that sterotype, they say "Bää!" that refers to onomatopoetic sound this "system-sheep"  produces. Despite everything seems to be wrong in all the nations in Asia, both seem to be eager to hang around there and learn several languages of that continent.   

After hearing how everything is wrong in my country and also abroad, life actually feels quite nice and trouble-free. Let the other people heal the world, make better society or at least shout how it should be done, I'll have another beer.
