Er, no? Ain't Friday yet, sir!
These ones come from Anna Żylińska!

That is so nice. Thank you.
1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?

Unprotected sex? Or something equivalently nasty.
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?

Jumping of the highest building in Poland after producing the biggest phone bill of my life.
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?

An artist is an artist when his art 'is'. Meaning, by Hegel and advanced by Bill Hicks, he forms the word/message/idea that came to them (preferably after shooting heroin into the vein under their cock) without an intention to make money with it. And it rocks!
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?

A) There are no such organizations. B) Aid? Hm. Dunno. Something which helps to help yourself then. No money, no clothes, no food sharing out. That doesn't help, man.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?

Jealousy. Or some Freudian penis envy kinda thing.Bernd Schreckenberg edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.04.09 o godzinie 23:26

"Back off buddy" kind of thinking.

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?
That would depend on the person asking - I reckon I might do a lot of things for a best friend. Not kill though.
2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?

Making sure my son will get everything I own. And I'd take him out for pizza.

3. What defines an artist to you? What features?

Creativity.
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?

I volunteer for kids, http://sebastianrot.pl (helping out with collecting money, mainly through charity concerts), and a "mieszkanko" for underprivileged kids in Ruda Slaska here, in Silesia. If I had more time and funds, I'd like to help more kids.
I'm also going to do some fundraising for our American football (amateur) team, Silesia Miners.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?

We always protect our family and loved ones. When we realize they're not so loved (or loving, in that case), we attack them.
I wouldn't. I'd go lick my wounds in a dark corner.

Because it's difficult for us to take into consideration that our partner was responsible for that. It's easier to blame this "third" person..

Have a nice weekend, guys!:)

The Amnesty International, because of the rapes in Darfur.
The NSPCC, to stop child abuse.

It never happened to me, so not sure. However I think its frustration and anger. Why do you prefer a stranger then me? Am I not good enough for you then?

1. Suppose your best friend asks you to do something and you say "no". What could it be?
I wouldn’t help my best friend to cheat at her/his partner. Eg. tell him/her that I’m going to SPA with my friend, while I’m aware of fact that my best friend is going to spend romantic weekend with someone else ;)

2. If you had only 1 day left for your life, how would you spend it?
I would catch first plane to Turkey and spend my last day on the beach jet-skiing and drinking sweet cocktails.

3. What defines an artist to you? What features?
Real artist should look weird, behave strange and speak odd ;)
And seriously, real artist for me is someone who is inventive and creative but never loose contact with reality.

4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most probably volunteer and why?
… I don’t know.

5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behavior?

1. I have no problems with saying "no" even to my best friends. If I don't feel like doing something, I just say "no", it may be going to a party when I'm not in the mood or anything else...

2. I'd gather my family and best friends around me and simply throw a farewell party or dinner.

3. Imagination, courage and modesty. I love it when the art speaks for itself and the artist doesn't have to show off to prove us what he/she wanted to tell us with his/her works, or exploit his/her privacy in the media to gain extra attention.

4. I've been already doing that, actually. My first voluntary job was at the local charity office during the Great Flood in 1998. I was a chairwoman of the students' association for quite a long time, as well. I also got involved in liberal youth organisation and volunteered at several political campaigns. As for now, I'd love to run some voluntary training for NGO members. Or volunteer in animal protection organisations, I sometimes feel like a "natural born vet" and love watching RSPCA documentaries on Animal Planet :)

5. Anger? Envy? Adrenaline?

"Let's have siblings!"

Doing anything, just to be immensely happy. It would be too late to pursue dreams so no point in wasating last minutes on it. Besides what for? To have recollections and no guilty conscience for not trying hard enough? :)
3. What defines an artist to you? What features?

Well, basically his works, if I am right. And ability to reflect the unique perception of the world.
4. What non-profit/aid organization would you most propably volunteer and why?

AI for their actions are effective in many respects.
5. Statistically, when people catch their spouses in a "bedroom act" with s stranger, they usually attack the stranger in the first place. What do you think is the reason for such behaviour?

Don't want their wifes to look ugly,
bruises reflect problems and they don't want others to find out abt it for fear of being discredited;
or:
"I still give you a chance, I don't hate you, yet I will not accept such practices. I'll destroy anything that disturbs the balance I've worked on for so long!" :) I suppose...

When a man catch his wife 'in flagranti' it would be Gallantry. Suprised ? You shouldn't be. Honest man shouldn't attack a woman so the only way to let off some steam is to punch the strange guy. Especially when he has his pants down and so cannot fight ;-)
