Jozda (Jovan Zdanić)

(Person, Yugoslavia)

A regular guy from IV4. His grandfather was a people's hero (officially) in WWII and there was a factory of some food named after him (and they named the grandson after him). I know when I was in vojska I was spreading him on bread. Was quite surprised - he never bragged.

He was into basketball and perhaps volleyball back then, I wouldn't know (never gave much for showbiz sports). Graduated some engineering and got into Naftagas, i.e. oil. As of 2016, still looks good and fit.

Drinks loza only. Perhaps vinjak in his youth, but this century I haven't seen him drink anything else. Brings a liter to every maturski of his class.

The other bad habit is that he knows only one pop song, "Crni leptiri" (black butterflies) by Yu grupa. If it's available on a party, he'll insist on it being played at least three times. Which is why, after such a stint on 15-IX-2018. I removed the song from my party playlist. He didn't remember to ask for it the next year.

The third one is the loud antismoking vibe, in commanding tone. He didn't try to pull that on me, but did on others in my presence. The clash on the subject, which I'm anticipating for some future, didn't happen yet.
