First Post...(Ever..)


Well, I must admit. It's my first blog ever. Yeah, of course I've commented in other Blogs, but never had my own. I've been thinking about opening one for quite some time. So I've got about a month left before I join the army, or as we Israelis call it -TZAHAL (A.K.A IDF), and I thought why not to spend some time posting my crap.

I finished high-school more than half a year ago, and since then I've been mostly doing nothing, except for working and going to the gym...yeah, you know..you gotta be fit to serve ,don't ya?

As you've probably understood by now (or I hope you have), I live in Israel and have been doing so for the last 16 years. 18-16=2, meaning that 2 years of my life were happily(?) spent in USSR, that's where my family comes from.

I don't consider myself Russian at all, since my parents have easily melted in the Israeli melting pot and so have I. Though some of my friends think I've melted "too-well" and I'm in denial of "Great Mother Russia"- You know what? fuck mother Russia. She's no mother to me.

I consider myself Zionist and I believe in God.
Debates about Israel are welcome, and I'd like to hear your opinion about what's going on in Israel.

"We’re all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there’s still hope. The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier’s supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it. "
