Glory is a mask that corrodes the face.

Slava Se is the pseudonym of the popular Latvian blogger and author Vyacheslav Soldatenko. He is a recognized master of words with an excellent sense of humor and a great connoisseur of human souls.
His diary on Li.ru -

* Pies are a way not to get bored while the second one is warming up.

*Seven hundred types of female tears are known in the world. And the man reacts to all this splendor with a single phrase: “Well, what are you, Katya ...”

* Whoever throws away the Christmas tree in January is paranoid. And a pitiful slave of order. A determined owner dries the spruce until a crispy crust forms.

Children draw mother from memory. According to the drawings, they were born by a scuba diver walking through a potato field in a miniskirt.

*A frustrated woman has a fantasy beyond the possibilities of God.

*Tanya loved cats. And the boys are not particularly - because of their redundancy. At least she never brought a boy into the house with a broken leg, sore eyes and other cute health problems.

* It was full of zest, the vineyard was, not the girl.

* Great Russian literature did not tell her to marry without love.

* Any man dreams of getting drunk, getting on the wrong plane, and having Barbra Brylska stroke his cheek with her finger the next morning. Therefore, the bath for us is more than a bath.

* I have shoes, excellent, very comfortable, only the leg needs to be glued with a band-aid: here, here, and here also, thicker.

*I read that if you drink red wine, radionuclides die. Last night seemed very scary to my radionuclides.

* I distinguish five types of mushrooms: mushrooms, chanterelles, "probably russula", "looks like edible" and "like a toadstool."

* Went hunting for ducks as a child. With men. Mature men. Real hunters. Matyuki are such that a little louder - the ducks would fall without shots. From shock.

* The cat was told by the newspaper about the ears: hamsters are our friends, not fats and vitamins. Now the cat thinks we are crazy fools. Today we do not eat hamsters, tomorrow we are friends with pizza, we kiss a sausage on the nose, and that hour is not far away - we marry a sandwich.

* So many events, so many events - I will go to work, I will rest.

Now the cat and I have our own women's boots, size 39, one black, the other rusty. Tomorrow I will put a cat in them and I don’t know where he will find the cannibal, but so that by dinner I will have a castle, a princess and a donkey.

* A house without a woman rages. Worst of all - dishes.
Washed it eight times. All the same, dirty bowls neigh from all corners.
I think they get dirty and spread around the apartment.

*My cat is afraid of losing me. We go to the kitchen and back together, watch TV. I am also forbidden to wash and write alone. He yells obscenities at me from behind the door. I guess I'm an amazing person in his eyes.

*In Russian topography, five kilometers are written off as a map error. In the Baltics, this is a huge distance. You can accidentally leave your country and go deeper into a neighboring one.

*Our closet is a separate room. Everything disappears there, especially socks that crawl, contrary to the assurances of the manufacturer.

* And we hugged and fell asleep in the most tender way. Because two little girls will prove to anyone you want - there is no happiness in the world, there is only peace, will and three hours to sleep.
