ja sam kralj
sudbina je metresa
sa zastakljenim ocima
upravo prolzi niz ulicu
ponekad je osjetim
na vrhovima prstiju
grobnica za borisa covjece
ako zelis da saznas
pristani na sve
ako zelis da mijenjas ljude
ne odmeci se
ja sam kralj
ti si zena pjesnika
zasto places gospodo
peludna groznica
covjece
ako zelis da saznas
pristani na sve
ako zelis da mijenjas ljude
ne odmeci se

Kula Nebojsa, Beograd, Srbija
Kula Nebojša je jedna od najpoznatijih kula u Beogradskoj tvrđavi. Nalazi se u Donjem gradu na ulazu u nekadašnje Dunavsko pristanište. U njoj je za vreme turske vladavine pogubljen grčki revolucionar Riga od Fere.
Naziv i legenda
Kula je dobila naziv negacijom glagola bojati se, što bi značilo da se kula ne boji ni jednog neprijatelja i da je neosvojiva.
Takvo imenovanje kula se može naći i kod drugih slovenskih naroda, kao npr. u slovačkim tvrđavama
Često se nepravilno naziva i "Nebojšina kula" usled nedovoljnog poznavanja istorije i lakšeg pamćenja imena (zbog prirode jezika "Nebojšina kula" zvuči ispravnije iako je potpuno drugačijeg značenja).
Prema legendi kula Nebojša je bila Donžon kula Beogradske tvrđave u doba despota Stefana, koja je verovatno izgledala poput Despotove kule u manastiru Manasija. Legenda dalje kaže da se kula kao Neosvojiva, kada su Turci nakon teških borbi zauzeli skoro celu Beogradsku tvrđavu, vinula u vazduh i odletela u Donji grad van njihovog domašaja, tako da je oni nikada nisu ni zauzeli. Od toga vremena ona stoji na svom današnjem mestu da svedoči o svojoj nepobedivosti i nepokornosti.
Kula Nebojša
Prvobitni nazivi kule bili su Bela i Temišvarska kula, da bi svoj današnji naziv dobila tek u XVII veku. Tada je u eksploziji baruta odleteo u vazduh Mali Grad sa prvobitnom kulom Nebojšom (prostor od Deferdareve kapije do Pobednika), posle čega je naziv Nebojša prešao na kulu u pristaništu.

Translation:
Greetings from Henrique Capriles Radonski.
Venezuela, we will never stop fighting for you! You reverberate in the beating of our hearts because were blessed when we were born in this land of grace.
A big hug today, July 5, for all Venezuelans . We are a land of desert, jungle, snow and volcanoes. Venezuela will always be worth it!
========================================================
Henrique Capriles Radonski, born 11 July 1972, is a Venezuelan politician and lawyer, who served as the 36th Governor of Miranda from 2008–2017.
Born in Caracas, he received a degree in law from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, and later in tax law from the Central University of Venezuela.
He first ventured into politics at age 26, when he became the youngest member ever elected to the Venezuelan parliament.
He secured a seat in the Chamber of Deputies in the 1998 parliamentary elections, under the Christian Democratic Party (Copei). He served as vice president of the Congress and president of the Chamber of Deputies until their dissolution by the Constituent Assembly in August 1999.
In 2000, he co-founded the political party Primero Justicia, alongside politicians Julio Borges and Leopoldo Lopez, and ran successfully for the mayorship of the Baruta municipality in the regional elections held in July 2000, and later for the governorship of the Miranda state in 2008.
Capriles became the opposition candidate at the 2012 and 2013 presidential elections, and faced then-President Hugo Chávez and Vice President Nicolás Maduro respectively.
His defeat in 2012 marked the first loss of his political career. Maduro narrowly defeated Capriles in the 2013 elections, a result that sparked controversy and debate amid the opposition's claims of electoral fraud.
Between both presidential campaigns, Capriles successfully secured his re-election as Governor of Miranda during the 2012 regional elections. He has repeatedly been the target of smear campaigns by political opponents who seek to capitalize on homophobic and antisemitic currents in Venezuelan society.
Capriles Radonski is of Sephardi Jewish and Ashkenazi Jewish descent; his grandparents immigrated from Russia and Poland during World War II. However, he self-describes as Catholic, revealing that his greatest hero in history was Jesus Christ. He dated Venezuelan actress Erika de la Vega between his first and second tenure as Mayor. Prior to his political career, he worked in the public and private sectors at several tax and law firms of Venezuela. Capriles is a member of the International Fiscal Association.
On 5 April 2017, Capriles was formally banned for 15 years from political activity accused by the Venezuelan government of alleged "administrative irregularities" which had occurred under his governorship. He ceased to be the Governor of Miranda in October after the 2017 regional elections, and subsequently declared his intent to leave the Democratic Unity Roundtable in protest against what he considered its legitimizing the Maduro government.

...go to sleep. I did not know this about sloths until I read it in wikipedia:
Females normally bear one baby every year, but sometimes sloths' lack of movement actually keeps females from finding males for longer than one year.
It sort of reminds me of this.

Estas fotos se las quité a mi papá hace un tiempo y tengo que preguntarle el año preciso de la toma. Supongo que las tomaron cuando mi abuelo cometió la "locura" de comprar un terreno en un sitio muy lejos, un "monte" llamado Prados del Este y construyó la quinta "Maitana", recordando la otra casa "maitana" que dejó en Santa Mónica.
