    Me and Nicolai

    Posted on Thursday 17 July 2008 by Greg @ 1:25 pm
    Filed under: Rants

    Me and NicolaeNicolae Ceauşescu (January 26, 1918–December 25, 1989) was the leader of Romania from 1965 until December 1989, when a revolution and coup removed him from power. He was a brutal dictator and was finally executed by revolutionaries in a kind of kangaroo court.

    I had heard of him before but didn’t really pay much attention until a donor sent me a picture of him as a younger man. Holy Canoli. You tell me if I’m crazy or if this guy could pass for my twin brother.

    If he is a distant relative then maybe that explains some of my leadership style tendencies… I’ll blame it on bad genes!

    Signed, Greg Stier

      • Are you kidding me. It looks like you posed for one of those pretend old western photos. That’s trippy, for real.

      • That’s funny, creepy and…hard to look away because it’s strangely fascinating. But you’re right it might explain a few things, lol.

      • Naaahhh. His ears stick out further and he has more of a demonic look and Greg has an “angelic(?)” look!

      • You know Greg, someone recently did that same photo thing with me and Brad Pitt. So I guess I can blame my amazing looks and profound humility on genes as well…right?

      • I stood in “Revolution Square” in Timisoara, Romania 3 weeks ago – the birthplace of the revolution that overthrew Ceausescu. It is quite an amazing story. Full of good analogies related to spiritual revolution. As hard-charging as you are…Nicci you are not. If you have the book, “The Body” by Chuck Colson, there is a chapter in there that gives a quick story about an influential church near that very square. Interesting.

      • Greg,
        What can I say? I would have never thought to compare the two of you (Ceausescu and Stier). I was 12 when the revolution started in Romania. It was a very unique experience.
        And since I am a Romanian I consider that it is “necessary” to write something in Romanian …wink…
        Dumnezeu sa te binecuvinteze domnule Stier!

      • Mr. Stier:

        I could be wrong, since I am no where near fluent in Romanian. But based on what I’ve picked up inmy trips there and from my friends, Ithink what Radu said translates to: God/The Lord bless you Mr. Stier. I could be wrong…try google, idk.

        Te iubesc frate! See you in Atlanta!
