My name is Luka ...

I just arrived to this world ... about two days ago and it's a crazy, crazy world. Well, I didn't choose the place or the timing so here I am and I will do my best to change it. Remember the old one "Philosophers were just interpreting the world ... the point is to change it!" So here I am.

To be precise, I was born on Thursday, November 8th 2007 at 3:47PM in Providence, RI. It was a beautiful sunset and I was facing two big windows so I had a perfect view. If it were not for the discomfort of the labor, and a midwife in front of me, I would have really enjoyed it.

It was a chilly day when I left the hospital yesterday, but the sun was out so I can't complain. We arrived at the house around noon, and I was surprised to see that the apartment is on the first floor and not on the second like in the song. Oh well, I am Luka but a different one.

My biggest problem right now is that I am constantly hungry and very sleepy. They say it's normal but for me it's a nightmare: can't sleep when I am hungry and can't eat when I am sleepy. I often fall asleep while I am breastfeeding and then the next thing is I find myself in the cradle starving. My parents would like to play with me but I am not in the mood right now. I want FOOD! I am hungry and when I am hungry I am angry. That's all for now.

Hey Pedza! Tanya gave me the address of your blog. Heartfelt congratulations to you both on the birth of Luka! Vera and I were just saying - "That Pedza looks the same as he did 10 years ago! Its all that organic food they eat ;-) ". (This is from Tom MacFarland - so you don´t have to keep guessing). By the way, if you and your friends get together with your Lukas, there will be considerable confusion someday! ;-)

Vera! Kakvo lepo iznenadjenje - puno hvala na cestitkama. Posalji ili "okaci" neku slicicu tvoga sina - bas bih voleo da ga vidim.
Pozdrav od malog vampira Luke i zombie roditelja.

Tom, you are in Berlin - again? You lucky man - traveling all the time. Great to hear from you! Send me or post a picture without a hat so I can see how much you have aged:)

Pedja,

Which of the following email addresses is your current one:
pedja_neskovic@yahoo.com
or
pedja@brown.edu ? I'll share it with Vera too (I'll probably be visiting her tomorrow at her Apotheke).

I'll send you a photo or two to fill in the gaps of the hamburger gringing years I've been through ;-)

You can always take a look at www.icouldscream.com to get a rough idea of what I and the people whose lives I drop into and terorrize are up to! ;-)

I hope things with you are well! Certainly this latest development is a good one.

Please remember to send me your email address. A good one for me is tom@tommac.net . Vera and her husband Patrice;s is Architektur-Abo@gmx.de.

Ciao!

-Tom

Dear Vesela and Pedja,

Tears of joy run for such happiness, a father and mother in love with their Luka, and such a beautiful name and gorgeous baby. Is Luka named after the beautiful city of Banja Luka? What does Luka mean? My heart overflows with joy for you and your families who have for so long awaited the arrival of this magical child!

Hi to Tom MacFarland-Nice to know you are still in touch with Pedja and that you are apparently doing well, traveling the world as usual. Hello too to Tanja & Tre and to Vera in Berlin!

I recently married and am living in newlywed bliss.
