Just leave me alone!
My brother and his girlfriend/fiancee/wife - you take the pick came all the way down from Montreal to visit me for Christmas. All’s well except that they have me in their plans. But I have plans of my own - like building that balloon. Somehow, they believe that their plans superscede mine - that they feel that they have the right to decide what I should do with my time… Well, I am sorry - they just don’t.
They tried everything - but I resisted and they got nothing out of me: only wasted five hours of my time. That is a heavy toll… and my adventure simply isn’t turning out too well! Don’t dream - I won’t be flying those ever-friendly skies anymore. But its victory nevertheless - trouble is trouble, and I got rid of them for good. “Go away and never come back!”

Aww, come on Oleg, is this the same brother from OQAM whom you stayed with while you were in Montreal training? If so, couldn't you be a little more tolerant? =)

Oleg, you know what's funny: I am sitting two feet away from you, but the only way I can communicate with you is through your blog. I agree that I cannot _force_ you to do something you do not wish to do, but I can try to suggest something to you, or I can try to convince you to do something. With all due respect, going to movies yesterday was not a bad idea, and probably
a nice getaway for you from playing online chess 40 hours long.
I really do hope that upon reading this, you will try to do something, going outside, going to movies, building ballons -
anything except staring at the monitor even while eating.

Yes i agree, online chess is not the best way of spending your holiday, do some physics instead =\

Well I truly agree with your brother, Alex I believe was his name, Sorry if I am mistaken. But should you want to know, I just went to waterloo with my brother and we really did have a good time, although I kind of resisted going there because I found it kind of boring. But believe it or not, you can find more stuff in common with your bro that anyone else. So just give him a chance, and then see then if u didn’t like it, its easy. Don’t do it again. But give him a chance, this is the same brother you were so eager to see a couple of moths a go.
