Thanks Guy!
1) Do you have already any holiday plans this year ? Where would you like to go ?

I have some plans. Going to Prague.
If it comes to other plans... I would go almost anywhere.
Some silent place in Polish mountains sounds ok, or a coastal UK town.
2) Are you sometimes feeling jealous ? On who/on what ?

Rarely ever. I'm gettin jealous when someone bugs my gf for .... too long.
3) Imagine you are winning a lot of money. What are you going to do with that ?

Invest + save + have some fun / fulfill a dream.
4) Do you believe dreams have a special meaning ? Describe your last dream ?

They do have some special meanings I can hardly ever recall my dreams tho. I do fly alot in them ^^
5) Who was for you the hero in 2008 ? Who was the 'ass' of 2008 ?

I will need to think it over, I almost never class people as heroes and asses... but here goes:

08 Hero - Tomasz Majewski - for Olympics Gold medal

08 Ass - Przemysław Gosiewski - for being an irritating flee all year round

Besides I admire to go on a bike trip around Europe.

2) Are you sometimes feeling jealous ? On who/on what ?

Sometimes......... very seldom............ about happiness when I am totally "out of order".

Travelling and talking to people about love, friendship and chance of life!!!

I would help other people cause everyone deserve the chance......... no matter which one......

1) Do you have already any holiday plans this year ? Where would you like to go ?

Not yet, but I must do something about it. The current plan is to drive to Monaco and back, stopping along the way and having good time.
2) Are you sometimes feeling jealous ? On who/on what ?
Yes, faster cars, twin-turbo hogs.
3) Imagine you are winning a lot of money. What are you going to do with that ?
No, not THAT question again. Last week I managed to predict it would come back.
4) Do you believe dreams have a special meaning ? Describe your last dream ?
See above.
5) Who was for you the hero in 2008 ? Who was the 'ass' of 2008 ?

The hero:

I usually hate him, but I'd vote for Lech Kaczyński. It takes balls of steel to visit a war zone and shout abuse at Russian invaders. So much Żoliborz-style.
"This lack of imagination gives his heroism to the hero" - Angela Carter, "The Lady of the House of Love"

The ultimate aSShole:
Joerg Heider, my favourite politician, for turning out to be gay and dying on me.

3) Imagine you are winning a lot of money. What are you going to do with that ?

hmm, hard to say. Bible say that in the times of end people will have dreams....I cannot remember any dream...
5) Who was for you the hero in 2008 ? Who was the 'ass' of 2008 ?

no hearos, but too many asses:)

1) Do you have already any holiday plans this year ? Where would you like to go ?

2) Are you sometimes feeling jealous ? On who/on what ?

Never... I don't believe in jealousy.
3) Imagine you are winning a lot of money. What are you going to do with that ?

Travel, travel, travel

Nope, I can't recall when was the last time I actually remembered my dreams.
5) Who was for you the hero in 2008 ? Who was the 'ass' of 2008 ?

The ass is an easy one for me - Dubya Bush... but the hero (??) I don't really have any heroes.

a] not really
b] I went to see my dad. I saw an old lady throwing out a black overshoe outside her house. I shouted at her. Then called my dad. Then some other old lady broke into the house and assaulted me with a statuette of a little boy with rabits and a Chinese brush stand.

1) Do you have already any holiday plans this year ? Where would you like to go ?
Canada, och Caaanadaaaa :)
if I'll save up enough money, but I have a feeling it will work out fine.
2) Are you sometimes feeling jealous ? On who/on what ?
Used to be. Not anymore. It's poisonous.
3) Imagine you are winning a lot of money. What are you going to do with that ?

Oh man....
Travel, travel and travel. Get a new laptop (a Mac?) and some funky lenses for my DSLR camera. And buy all the books I've always been wanting to have :)
4) Do you believe dreams have a special meaning ? Describe your last dream ?

Oh, I've been reading a lot of Jung and jungist stuff about dreams (I recommend works of Marie von Franz) and I think it's great to get some insight into your own dreams. But I won't tell you what I dream about ;)
5) Who was for you the hero in 2008 ? Who was the 'ass' of 2008 ?
I try to avoid asses.
My hero...hard to tell.

1) Apart from restoring my old arm chair? Off-road trip to Montenegro.

2) Sometimes... I suppose yes. But I never act on that feelings.

3)I would furnish my house the way I always wanted. AND I would probably pay off my credit card debt;)

4) Special meaning? Nope. But I have a strong belief that they show the current state of our mind.

5) That's a tough one. I can think of few asses, but there's no one particular claiming the hero title, I'm afraid.

1) Do you have already any holiday plans this year ? Where would you like to go ?

I'd like to take my family and roam around Montana, northern Idaho and maybe parts of Canada.

2) Are you sometimes feeling jealous ? On who/on what ?

Sometimes. Of people who are very smart. Much smarter than me.
But in a healthy way, I suppose. :)

3) Imagine you are winning a lot of money. What are you going to do with that ?

Share, share, share.

4) Do you believe dreams have a special meaning ? Describe your last dream ?

I do. Can't remember the last one, though.

5) Who was for you the hero in 2008 ? Who was the 'ass' of 2008 ?

A single mom who sacrifices herself for her kid(s).
A dedicated teacher whose passion is to give his or her students a good future.
People like that.
The 'ass'? Young men or women who could be someone, but instead they choose to be a nuisance. Every football hooligan whose only mission in life is to see destruction of his or her rivals.
People like that.Andrzej Czopek edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.01.09 o godzinie 17:40

Great! :) I hope you guys make it this time.

That's what's inevitably bound to happen when you rely on other humanoids. My idea of a holiday is to get away from the people - just my rifle, my pony, and me :)
