In 2011 Split, Croatia briefly featured in most of world's media. Not for the architecture, Festival of Mediterranean Film, Roman palace or 140% rise in room nights from tourism but for the horrific treatment of the first Split Gay Pride. Stones, firecrackers, spitting and Nazi salute chanting of 10000 angry citizens greeted just 300 pride participants. It was a very dark day in the history of my city.
Fast forward 2012.. I woke up today thinking ah.. going for a coffee and then off to get stoned.. The day of Split Pride 2012 arrived. This time it was better, bigger and 100% safe. New coalition government has shown the full commitment to human rights and this time made sure that Pride was a success. Split was a better place today then a year ago and so is the whole of Croatia.
I wonder what caused this to happen...

The mid-Atlantic ridge starts here. This is Þingvellir ("Thingvellir") which is an active region of Iceland where the North American and Eurasian plates spread apart by rather too much a year to be comfortable. Whilst some areas are covered in tourists, particularly around the visitor centre, it is possible to find much quieter spots which are really quite enthralling and inspiring. Being a geologist at heart, I was somewhat wary about being here, but not nearly as much as I was at Krafla, more of which later...(Photo by Andrew Tobin).
Split hairs-make over-subtle distinctions
i could not find split ends which is typical, the biggest bloodly dictionary possiable and it dont have the word(s) im usin in them.
this picture was taken by Ollie-Bob when we was messing around at the train station.
i was thinking about all the time things have happened and they never really got sorted out. its like a splitend it needs to be cut off some new hair can grow ,we let things go and cut it out of are lives so we can move on and let new things grow and take shap. But sometimes it never get sorted out ,and we never cut it off and move on ,so we let it grow and we just ignor it but its always there making things a mess or leaves tention there.
The many times i have fallen out with friends and we never really sorted it out as we thought it best just to leave it as it was not something important or serious to sort out. But does this not just pile up for when the next problem happens and all that hate and pain from before gets unleashed and comes back from before.
im not saying we should all sort stuff out all the time as it is best just to leave stuff as there really is no point in fall out or get upset about something that isnt really as bad as we might think. Its just that doesnt it make us selfish that we are so easy to let things slide even though we know we have hurt someone. i dont think i always sort out my Splitends i have with people and then they us that agaisnt me the next then and i'll but it to the side again. maybe thats my fault as an individual im the kinda person who likes to let things go if they get to much and cant be sorted out without people getting all worked up and angery over it .

We visited split for only one day because the house that we were staying at in-between Split and Omis and most of our contacts were in Omis. However, from what we saw, it was still a very beautiful city. Split is the capital of Croatia, so it is a bigger city and more touristy than Omis. It also has a port where you can take a ferry to Italy if you wish.
We played on the streets during our afternoon there in order to promote our gigs in Omis.
