*Omg, take a deep breath* I can't even believe how euphoric I'm feeling and I'm still happy dancing all around the place. So freaking proud of all slovenian athletes and I can't even imagine how much pressure they need to handle, cuz I'm  fucking  nervous even when I'm only looking at the games. I can't describe how much respect I have for such a passionate people, especially for Tina, not because she is amazing in what she is doing but because it's a pure example of not giving up. "Glede na to, koliko izkušenj sem si nabrala v svojem življenju, lahko povem, da ni bilo lahko nikoli. Ne pridete kar v prvi minuti gor. Treba se je malo potruditi, potrpeti, kakšno požreti, bom temu rekla. Veliko stvari te doleti pri vzpenjanju na vrh in zaradi tega je zelo pomembna vztrajnost. V življenju pridejo tudi težki trenutki. Ne obupajte, če imate en slab dan, en teden, en mesec ali celo leto. Ni pomembno. Tudi sama sem imela eno leto, ko ni bilo nobenega užitka, nobenega uspeha. To so stvari, ki te utrjujejo skozi življenje. Na napakah se učimo. Ustrelite kdaj v prazno. Ni važno ... Važno je, da si upate. Na ta način boste oblikovali sebe, imeli ideje, kakšne stvari so pomembne, da pridete na vrh. Ne se predati, sledite svojim sanjam." (source: Slovenske novice)

Today's post is dedicated to everyone out there who had an awesome Friday night but who will be pissing the hang over away today.  Enjoy!

David Černý, Proudy, bronze, 2004.  Outside of the Kafka Museum, Prague

Prague is a gem among European cities.  While there, be sure to check out David Černý's sculpture of two men peeing on the Czech Republic.  WTF?!?  Yup, they trace out famous Czech literary quotes with their pee.  And get this, you can send a text to +420 724 370 770 and they'll stop in mid-stream to pee out your message.  [Text something now!  Someone in Prague will witness your thoughts.] 

Černý's art has often caused raised eyebrows or hostility among the EU art scene.  But honestly, after meandering through the streets of Prague to find the sculpture, called Proudy, pissing away near the Kafka Museum, I was thoroughly content with Černý and his sense of humor.
