Oleksii: Once upon a time, when I was like 9 years old, I’ve found some money right under the tree near the bus station, so I decided to buy few chocolates for the whole family (I bought 3 MARS bars), when I got home there was no one there, so I decided to make a surprise, cut every bar in half, and put these halves in the places where every family member would find it eventually. Then I started to wait for them to come home. Knowing where the chocolate resides and not eating it was real challenge, which I failed some time later, when I ate all the halves one by one before anyone make it to home. Well, that’s embarrassing.

Vanya I

Он сидит на шаре, а еще играет на гитаре, иногда не залочивает комп, хмурится и смеется, катается на борде, любит рыжего кота и Соню, путешествует, разминается йогой, занудствует (ох, ох) и спорит - и все это честно, искренне, увлеченно. Иногда, ради эксперемента, хотелось бы увидеть Ваню женщиной в метро. Как он сидит и смирно смотрит на потоки сезонных пассажиров (прим. ред.). Одна из самых веселых зануд нашего офиса.


On a scale of 1 to 10 how cool you are?
Ваня: Мне нравится цифра 7. Просто нравится, как цифра, наверное она никак не отражает то, насколько я «прохладный».

Who is your ‘God Father’ in work?
Ваня: Мой брат. Он старший – всегда был примером.

What profession you would like to attempt?
Ваня: Фотокорреспондентом National Geographic и Reuters. Сидеть где-то в недрах джунглей и выжидать уссурийского тигра или обезьянку.   

What profession you would never ever would like to attempt?
Ваня: Что-то монотонное и постоянно повторяющееся. Женщиной в метро. Упаковщиком. Тестировщиком-мануальщиком .

What turns you on?
Ваня: Кнопка  ON. Или хорошая музыка. В основном это гаражный рокешник.

What turns you off?
Ваня: Кнопка  OFF. Или плохая музыка, особенно если я не в силе ее выключить…


What sound or noise you do you love?
Ваня: ♪♫-♪♫-♪♫-♪♫
Sound of BOSS DD3 Delay pedal and noize of The Whammy pedal. А, и конечно же звук Ride cymbal.

Your parents will never know about this fact of your life.
Ваня: Все что было в горах – остается в горах.

Describe the perfect kiss or test case in 3 words.
Ваня: Который сделан вовремя и лаконично *
*Это 2 слова. Но и три слова – это два слова.

Where would you go if you were invisible?
Ваня: Интересно посмотреть как принимают решения там, сверху. Или как придумывают коррупционные схемы.  А еще я видел как моют поезда и вагоны – но тогда я был невидимый, ето не считается.

What compliment do people give you the most?
Ваня: Это было круто!


What advice did you get that was the most rewarding?
Ваня: «К черту все, берись и делай». Чего и всем желаю.
А и из школы помню отличный совет от  брата «Малой, не реви».

When you listen to yourself what do you hear?
Ваня: Я арифметическая сумма бесчисленных заблуждений.
Или голос из детства «Крути педали, просто крути педали».

What was your favorite book growing up?
Ваня: В старшей школе меня очень впечатлила книга Джека Лондона – "Мартин Иден". В детстве трилогия Гарри Гаррисона – "Эдем".

If you could be a superhero who would you be?
Ваня: Капитаном Кирком – может он и не супер-герой, но у него был крутой корабль. Хотя я больше Спок.- такой же зануда.

What kind of breakfast would you cook for your team?
Ваня: Фирменный омлет. С поджареной натертой картошечкой, овощами и салями. Мммммм.

If you have a chance to stay on the top of the world and have a mic and you can say 1 sentence and every person on the planet will hear you and understand. What that sentence would be?
Ваня: Буду импровизировать.
Думаю, первым в голову пришло бы что-то банальное, типа «Hi!» или «Look, Im on the top of the World!». Bсе будет зависеть от того с какой целью я туда забрался и что от меня хотят услышать (Зануда, как и было сказано. Прим. ред.).
