Just Words...

They say that words make the world go around. Words can paint a beautiful picture when spoken in the right way. Words can make the truth known. Words can make a deaf person hear and a blind person see. Words can also hurt if not spoken or written correctly. We all use them, some better than others. We all understand most of them, however there are many that we don't understand.
On a couple of blogs in the past few days some words have been written that have hurt and informed some people about a person that many of us know and respect. A persons private life is just that. Private. As in belonging to that person and not to be made public and or shared. Many people are hurt and a couple may feel good about what was written and enjoyed seeing the fall out that it has caused. I for one am not. We all have private lives, I say lets keep the private part of it just that, Private. I will shut up now. Ya'll come back now, yea hear.

Streets & Critters

 
 
 
  Posted by Picasa
As you can see the roads are not made for a wild assed,Tattooed Harley driver.These kind of roads beat the hell out of a chromed out road machine. The rooster in the photo is a very Manly bird. This bird was guarding ever inch of his land. He looked at me and kind of said get the hell out of my area. Me being a Manly Man at first wanted to fight to show him who had the bigger set of balls. I took a quick look around and saw all of his hens and figured that he had proven that already. I gave him the finger and left his area. It would have been a hell of a fight, I think I could have taken him. See the mountain in the photo. It is a nice mountain and would have made a real good place to build and live. It is a big mountain and even has it's own fresh water springs. Cold mountain water, clean, fresh and did I say very cold. I'll be back later. Ya'll come back now yea hear.

American Writing.....

Our pal Dawn said that I have had some crazy writing on my blog for the last 10 days. Yes !! It is Ukrainian writing . It is the name of the club and restaurant that I was writing about. That was my idea and Maryna wrote it for me. It seems that our brain stops working when it comes to language after we hit 40 . We don't hear the words right and when we try to speak it just comes out wrong. That is my story and I am sticking to it.
We have found out the real reason for the delay on our house. The builder has family members who help him out and they don't want a foreign buyer owning that much land in what they call their village. It seems that when a western person moves in they like to buy everything around them and control things. WTF is this. All I wanted to do was buy a nice house with land and live a good life with my family my grapes a few goats and a horse or two. When I saw the roads that lead into the place I forgot about riding my Harley up and down the streets, I will post photos and you will see why.
Now for the real news. When I was in Ukraina last month I looked at some land to buy for building a resort and shops. I found one section that I fell in love with and made an offer on it. This was done without anyone's knowledge "guess who's" and I thought it was ours. I thought it so much that I was already making plans for stocking the shelves in Maryna's shop that she wants to own and operate. Along with mayonnaise and sour cream there will be nice perfumes and other goodies that people of means will want to buy. The broker that I am using I will call Crazy Suka. Suka is a slang term for Sobaka. That is a female dog. So we all know now what it means. I made a real good hard offer on the land. I was told by crazy suka no problem Peter it is yours. I promise it is yours. All is fine in my world. Money is in the bank along with plenty for building and the bribes that go along with being a western person building a business in Ukraina..
Monday morning my cell phone rings. I look at the number and see 044 658 and so on. Great I say to myself. Crazy Suka, Hello Peter and how are you ? Peter, I am fine thank you for asking. I hope all is well with you. Crazy Suka , Peter we have a situation that needs your attention and I need some guidance on. Peter, ok tell me and we will take care of the situation. Crazy Suka, Peter they have raised the selling price on the land. Peter, I thought I had bought the land and that it was a real deal.Crazy Suka, Peter they have changed their mind and the land is now $60,000 more money. Peter, Ok I will pay the $60,000 more. Tell me please that we own the land. Crazy Suka , Peter I will call you back in one hour, we own the land , there will be no more problems.
One hour,no call. Two hours,no ringy dingy. Three hours, all is quiet. Four hours,WTF. I am watching the clock and the hours are passing by with no phone calls coming in. I know how to make a phone call and will make one . I will call anyone at anytime and even speak to them. I know if I can so can others.
Peter, calling 011 044 658 and so on. Crazy Suka, hello Peter what can I do for you ? Peter, say fuckin what!!! I have been waiting on your phone call for seven hours, whatz up ? Crazy Suka, Peter I have another person that is making me crazy about this land. Peter, WTF! What and who is this person that is making me crazy as well ? Crazy Suka, Peter I represent more than one buyer. A cold chill ran through Peters body and soul. I just closed my eyes and waited to die.
More to come later. Ya'll come back now, yea hear.

" Деца у Нотаря "






"100 Shots Of Vodka At Notarya's House" is the name of the place I think. Well that is as close as I can get. I have been in bars all over the world and this is by far the best I have ever been in. I thought that the Club Monsarat in La Habana Cuba and the Bulldog Saloon in Amsterdam were the best until Sergey took me to this place in Uzhgorod Ukraine.
It has by far the best food, coldest beer and vodka that money can buy. Live music , live wait staff and the wildest ass people that I have ever seen or been around. There are two kinds of people there, drunk people and people getting drunk. I mean funny,have a good time and laugh your ass off drunk. Not sloppy ass fighting and showing your ass mean drunk. One lady wanted to fight her sister , they threw her out and let her sister stay. These are good people and a good place. The prices are right and the photos on the wall say a lot about the place. The only thing missing was Maryna. Just her being there would have made it a night to remember for always. I am posting some photos . I hope you like them. Ya'll come back now, yea hear.

Sales, Rebates and Other Things..

This may sound crazy to some. They should find the person who came up with product sales and beat them. I got one of many sales adds today and they all said what a good deal I could get this week because they are having a sale. Well one said all month, however there is a trick to it. The sales are in the form of a rebate. I bought something last weekend it had a $20.00 rebate to it. I got the form and tonight was filling it out . The rebate date has passed. That's right passed. The final date was 1-May-2006. WTF is this ?
I for one am tired of getting sales papers and the sale is a sorry assed rebate. This is a bit much for me to process. I have filled out rebate forms and never got back a rebate. Tonight is my last rebate form filling out. If is ain't instant I ain't buying it. I will get just nasty red necked on their asses and tell them my name is Johnny Paycheck. Ok I am through, here I am telling them off for something that I wanted to buy. My brain hurts, I am not making a lick of sense and even I know it.
I am sorry that I have not written any post or comments of late. My pals that read this blog know that I care for them and read there blogs everyday. Our pal Limey is working his ass off, Pea is sick. Jenny is wanting to return to the US, King is finding castles.Dawn is chilling out for a change and e is e. Where the hell is Cookie ? Our poet has some great photo's on her blog.Neekas daughter Marta is 5 months old and getting more beautiful everyday. Twirl's new blog is great and Maryna met some of the local Russian Mafia today at our area wal-mart. Thats all folks. Ya'll come back now , ya hear.
