Communist Pictures Database

U-Hu! Waw! :)))) Cool!
An Online Communist Pictures Database of the Romanian Communist party! :D
I found on an online edition of a newspaper a link to this:

An online database of PCR (Romanian Communist Party) pictures:
http://fototeca.iiccr.ro/

Inside you can find more than 2000 old pictures... here's what I found interesting through the events in that ages:
Ceausescu's picture when he was young, in prison at Doftana.
Nicolae Ceausescu, teenager, convict at Doftana
- If I escape from here, I want to be like Robin Hood!!!
Something else, check this pictures carefully!!!:
A visit in Moldova and Danube Delta in 1976!
The conversations may not be true, they are presented how that visit had happen in my vision...
Arriving
- I'm better than Robin Hood!
- I will show you!
- I'm ready! Watch the leader!
- Oh yeah! My old dream comes true! Do you see that Elena?
- Neah... I think archery is boring. Shooting is more fun! Elena, do you see that? Elena! Elena!
Oh... Not him... I have to change the story now!
- Who's that Young Talent kissing your ass? Hey Comrade Iliescu, you should kiss mine first! I'm no 1!

- We need a referee here. You, young Comrade, come here! (If she's better than me say she's cheating)

- She's angry cause she lost... C'mon! I need another opponent! Where is the young talent?

- Yes Supreme Commandant! I can't imagine how anyone can win in front of you, but please forgive me and allow me to try!

- Muhahahaha! :)) That's right comrades! Mock him! Make him miss!

- Oh, I was almost there Sir, but you are too good! I'm all sweat!!! Your talent is far better than mine!

- Don't worry Supreme Commandant... I got your back! (I'm patient...)

The images used on this post are taken from http://fototeca.iiccr.ro/ Photographs ID: Ceausescu Nicolae la varsta de 15 ani (Detinut la Doftana) Filmul Pagini de Vitejie, Nicolae si elena Ceausescu in Moldova si Delta in vara lui 1976 no. 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,14,16,18,19,21 and 26.

Wrote later: According to Mr Virgil Magureanu, ex SRI Director (Romanian Inteligence Service), Iliescu planned to kick out Ceausescu (not the communism) since 1971! ... and from 1973 he was already seen as the main figure who could replace the dictator. That means he was waiting for 19 years the right moment to replace him! That guy was really patient...

Role modeling... apparently!

We moved to a place in city center, a 2 bedroom flat, shared with a 21 young man.

It's better this way for me, it will take only 20 minutes to go at the office... 40 minutes/day, much better than the 130 minutes spent until then.

The flat was in a bad condition, but we saw quickly the potential in it. To have an view about how was looking before we came in, just try to imagine a cave! I mean... they needed even a new toilet seat...

The young lad was very happy seeing his dirty cave transformed into a nice, decent place to live and started to copy some of our actions, like washing dishes, cleaning, etc.

He is our flatmate!


He started to buy the same things we bought, same brands, same products. Apparently, this was good, it's good to see that others are taking you as a model, right?

Take a look at these:

Our

His

Our

His

Our

His

Ours

His

Ours

His

His

And there are more...

But... there is a "but"!

It looks like roll modeling has its disadvantages as well...

In the same time, something else start to happen: mysterious disappearances from our stuff... our things are consuming much faster! And his are staying about the same for a longer time!

So this guy bought all that products and he is using ours, thinking that we will not notice, or if we notice he can say it was a mistake.

Maybe he thinks he's very smart and we are stupid... it's so interesting to see how far a mind like his will go, because there are several things he did and they are not moral. For me he is just a study case:

1. How far can he go with this? ... smiling to you in the same time :)
2. Why? What is the reason for his "actions"? Economy?

I hope I will find out! I want to know what's his algorithm! I want to know how our Scottish neighbor thinks! Is this for real? The jokes with Scottish people are true? Are they really so tight/cheap? He is confirming until now...

It looks like he already has a roll model... and it's not me!
