Funny how bald eagles were nearly driven to extinction in the magnificent U S and A. But enough about that. About the nationalistic thing, well I have to patriotic, cause there are only about a million of us in the whole world. If we ain't patriotic, we might aswell simply submit to the greater Russian Empire and they'd have whitewater ports they've always wanted. We fought for our country and our country exists mainly to save and keep our culture, language and traditions, or to put it simply, nation in place. That is actually the main purpose of our country. Not freedom nor liberties nor anything. The good for our nation. Of course, freedom and liberties and that stuff comes right beside it. But without our country, our language is so meaningless. It has no purpose. It would just die out. And that ain't gonna happen, at least until I am around. On another note, kids, stay in school. Not fun being a full-time employee. Not even in a large multinational IT corporation.

I wouldn't say we don't have a single good university. Our national university, University of Tartu, is consistently in the top 300 in the world. Considering how small our country is, and that tuition is FREE [bleep]ES for every Estonian who gets in and studies well enough, that is quite an achievement. Nearly a quarter of students here are foreigners (no free tuition for them), so I wouldn't say the levels are bad...

You can't judge a book by it's cover. And you also can't judge the education of the nation on a few people. Estonia used to be a piss-poor country. Yet we have topped USA in PISA tests and OECD comparisons for education every single year we have been valid. And our GDP is still like two thirds of American. Money alone does not good education make. But on a different news, today I drank alone for the first time. I hate myself. And the situation I am in. Funniest thing was trying to ride a bicycle past cops, while being pretty much blackout drunk. Luckily, I succeeded or I wouldn't be writing here.

Pokemon Go
Cycling helps. So far, only level 6 with 19 different 'mons. Here the gyms are really tight, I can see like 3-5 on any moment on the map. Right next to my work is a pokestop and my frathouse is a gym, however, near my home it is quite vast emptiness with nothing but gyms in sight.

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
Dirt Rally is so awesome that I haven't had time to play anything else... Loving me Renault Alpina still, cause I ain't had much time at all. But it is an excellent game. And I've always liked rallying. Pretty far in GT5, GT6, Dirt 2 was completed, Dirt 3 I lost my computer while playing, Grid 2 pretty much finished, so you can say I am a bit gearhead? Codemasters are excellent in this thing. The masters. Also the damage. Nobody does damage like Codemasters. Nobody.

I wouldn't say we have a lot less water and we do have some natural resources. We just don't have oil and that's enough for you 'Muricans. And I [bleep]ing know Iceland is beautiful, I was there for 11 days last year with my mate. We circled the whole island. And why would anyone want volcanoes? They only bring problems.

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
Got Dirt Rally. Just had my laptop maintenanced and now I can play lots of games and it ain't overheating! Seriously, thermal pastes and stuff were changed and fully cleaned. However, my mate said it is the worst cooling design for a laptop he has ever seen. Air intake is under the keyboard, pretty much. Meaning no airflow.

Sounded like Estonian no. 1 football commentator shouted his vocal cords off this time for Iceland's second goal, as opposed to the Icelandic commentator who had to get a surgery after they won Austria... [bleep]ing epic match. Specially the first Icelandic goal. England scored from a penalty on fifth minute, Iceland plays the game open and scores within a minute like a no big deal :D
