15. What is my favorite memory -- I’m privileged to have so many good ones. Since we’re on the cusp of a tour, I’ll relay one of my best, and luckiest: the evening Greg Dulli pulled me onstage to serenade me with my favorite Afghan Whigs song at the Chicago Metro in August of 2012. I was dead center in front of the stage, and right before the song started I watched while the crew shoved the two wedge monitors apart to clear a space in front of me. I thought nothing of it, thought they were adjusting so that Greg could hear himself better. But it was so that they could haul me up.

The moment I realized what was happening is one of my favorite memories. A realization, like a freight train, of a dream as it’s coming true. It’s almost as good as the memory of being sung to, and danced with!

20. Do I feel loved -- yes :)

What's your personal interpretation of *Black bird and the fox*? I've kept it on repeat for an hour now and I got curious of others' feeling for it

Personally? Dynamite Steps is an ode to transcendence and self-protection. It is an unusually gentle dissection by Dulli standards, maybe because the demons exorcised in Powder Burns have had a chance to mellow with age. They have not left, completely, but are wise enough now to see themselves for what they are, and recognize themselves in others. I think “Blackbird & the Fox” is a song about witnessing that familiar pattern in a loved one, and the protective impulse/warning it prompts.

There will be a mission in Battlefield 1 where you get to play as a pigeon, flying over the field to deliver a message. I'm too excited.

I’m buying this immediately, even though I swore off buying things immediately after No Man’s Sky. (What a disaster, right?)

As a fellow fashion enthusiast, what value do you give to the Birkin bag as a fashion statement?Besides the obvious which is social class, is it something that you'd personally carry and have a sentiment towards?

Fashion can’t exist independent of social class. That is the primary trade in which it deals. The Birkin is fashion distilled into concentrated precipitate, and it is immaterial without the status relationship it confers to its owner. At this point the strength of its currency has transcended the market of indirect caste signifiers into something far more literal. You’re not buying a bag – it’s impossible for me to even see it that way, to look at the bag and see its function as a bag. I mean, I’m sure it holds things, but it isn’t a bag anymore. Buying one is buying stocks or bonds, diversifying your investments. The only value that I, personally, can ascribe to a Birkin is the kind of value I’d ascribe to a securities account. It would be nice to have on the assets side of a balance sheet. That’s all.

Visitor and offering [:

Creature that visits my dreams most often: I don’t encounter many critters. I encounter a great many people. Lately I’ve been running into old friends and acquaintances asking for forgiveness, regardless of whether their requests have actually involved me at all.

How I show people I’m fond of them: I try to be generous with most people, but especially so with those I know and love.

Get To Know Me

Rules:  Tag ten people you want to get to know better

I was tagged by @herliquidarms

Countries I’ve Lived In: still in Serbia

Favorite Fandom: I was never much into it. But I do have few characters I like on a bit 'higher' level: Motoko Kusanagi, Ryosuke Takahashi... generally things about GiTS and Initial D. And Astharoshe Aslan (Trinity Blood).

Languages you Speak: languages of former Yugoslavia (Serbian is my native), English, some Korean and Japanese, and I can read and understand some Russian, German and Turkish. Hopefully one day will be able to get em all on higher level, and perhaps add few more. I like learning languages... they are so much more.

Favorite Film of 2015: Detective Chinatown - it's like Tarantino and Sherlock in one, but Chinese way!

Last Article You Read: 'New CRISPR Gene Editing Method Can Edit Single Letters of DNA' and 'Sci-Tech Visionaries Gather for 'Future Is Here' Festival'

Shuffle your song library and put the first three titles here: MISTIKA - Rain (Initial D 5th Stage OST) (link) Elsiane - Across The Stream (link) Droid Bishop - Color & Data (link)

Last Thing You Bought Online: Tactical shoulder bag, shemagh and mesh scarf.

Last Person You Dreamed Of: the best friend I've been waiting on the highway to bring me some important file and then each of us went in its own direction.

Any Recurring Dream: I have. Sometimes they are about specific events, sometimes spiritual, sometimes about specific person etc.

Any Phobias or Fears: Fear of lightning. It occurred few years ago when out of nowhere storm started and while I was trying to hide to not get wet... the lightning strike not even full 1m in front of me. But the same way it scares me, it fascinates me even more.

How Would Your Friends Describe You: hard to deal with, an asshole, demanding, honest, cool, and over all great friend.

How Would Your Enemies Describe You: an asshole (yet again), psycho, cheater, and Ms Elitist.

Would you take a bullet for someone: Uhm... it depends on who the other person is... but most likely no.

If you had money to spare, what would you buy first: FC3S RX-7 and a small house that would be my 'zen' place somewhere in the mountains of the Far East

NICE.

“@hapless-hollow I just saw this and it reminded me of what we talked about today. We should take some interior design ideas from Mister Owens here“

******************************************************************************

@herliquidarms  I love Rick Owens, he’s brilliant.

As far as interior design goes... I could spend days showing you some of my ideas. I have a feeling you’d like them.
