New post! ALREADY?


I WANT TO GO TO THERE!!!!

That song is amazing and the guy can really put on a show, that's for sure.

I totally killed it bouldering today, finnished all the lines that got left unfinnished last time, even the one that I hurt my hand on.

Hmm what else could be new... oh yeah, in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 I shot down a helicopter with a tank 5 times during one round, now that's something to tell your grandkids!

Stag party!

So I could write about it earlier because my brother might read this blog but we had a small stag party for him last friday, the wedding is a cupple of weeks later.
We did the basic stuff, dressed up as a reindeer, an old creepy man and a horse in a suite. And we kidnapped him from the "classroom" after he had this huge presentation in front of a bunch of professors and other important people. Oh ye, we put a gorilla mask on him and threw him in the trunk.



Then we drove off to the woods of Espoo, we desided to be fair and let Benjamin out of the trunk after a few hard turns and breaks. Handed him a beer and let him ride shotgun.
The rest of the night was all about really good food and lots of different brands of beer. I think everything about the food and the drinks was perfect. After many hours at the table it was time for the sauna with some more beer and swimming in the lake. It wasn't easy to find a place where you actually could go swimming but we made it anyways.
Benjamin happened to have one of his selfmade boardgames with him so we played it until some people had a hard time staying awake around 5am. And just for the record, I slaughtered them all, I was the laughter in slaughter. So this was more of a laid back stag party but it was actually really nice and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. So thanks to everyone who was there if you happen to read this.

The rest of the weekend I didn't do much. On sunday I met Kaarle and Hozzan and took them bouldering, they were surprisingly good at it when you think about that it was their first time.
I felt really good and did some lines I wouldn't have taught I could make but then, something snapped in my arm and it hurt like hell to use my index finger and my middle finger, and it hurt all the way to my elbow.
So I guess I sprained something, it has been feeling alot better today but the two fingers feel abit weak, I'm still thinking about going climbing tomorrow and I prolly will. I just need to warm up better and strech. There are some lines I just have to make because I haven't made the last move to the finish.

Wörk!

I'm back! I spent almost 3½ weeks out in the archipelago working and taking it easy.
Now I've been back for almost two weeks and I gotta say I've really used my time well because at the moment it looks like I got work at two different restaurants. I will prolly go mental working that much but at least I should be able to get some money saved, I need a GoPro camera for the winter and then I need to start saving money for a trip next spring, I just have to go surfing somewhere.
Last thursday we went out drinking with Kaarle (the guy we met at Riksgränsen) and had a great time. We started at my place and around the time we were about to leave Kaarle tells me that he can't go to any bar because he's too drunk, laff! The problem was solved by telling him that he wasn't that drunk. On the way to the bar we stopped a million times and just talked to random people on the street, by the time we got to the bar the clock was past 2am. We killed it on the dancefloor almost the whole time we were in there (I think we went to Tivoli) and then went for a snack with some people to McDonald's. For some reason Kaarle desided to bail and I continued to some afterparty with a group the a taught were all classmates, when in fact, only two of 8 (I think) people knew eachother.
The next day when I finally felt like I was in shape to drive, I picked up Lalli and we headed to the summerhouse for some fishing and drinking.
And that was my weekend, fishing, drinking and sauna. The weather was awesome almost the whole time and during the day you didn't even need wear a shirt since it was actually that warm, during the night again it got really cold, I guess summer is ending after all. Here is some pictures from our trip:
That shirt is awesome, we bought the same ones since you got 2 shirts for 10€ at the HongKong supermarket.


That Pike is actually kinda big, almost 5kg

For some reason I don't have any pictures of myself. All in all it was a good trip, we got enough fish to keep us interested in fishing every day, then again it's hard not to like just chilling in the boat the whole day when the weather is nice.

Here is some pictures from earlier this year when I played around with my phone and got some really nice pictures. Click for full size!




I know, really original of me to take pictures of flowers ^_^

So this week has been more or less about work and climbing. Noone wants to hear about booring work stuff but climbing/bouldering is awesome. Before I went to the summerhouse my hands had gotten used to climbing but now after almost a month long break it was a whole other story. My hands are killing me atm. This picture was taken on tuesday: 

That might not look so bad but after climbing today, it looked like someone had tortured my hands real bad. But it was all worth it, cleared a cupple of new lines which felt really good.
 I've been meaning to take bouldering pictures but somehow I never get it done. Maybe Panu could bring his camera some day when he comes climbing.
Seems like I have to wake up in 6 hours, someone said that you need to sleep every now and then.
I have no idea how I ended up reading quotes of Albert Einstein but I feel like I should share theese with you, that guy was a genious in so many ways.

"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." 

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." 

"Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater."

Retarded drivers!

People are MESSED UP, no need to explain the situation but the massacre in Norway was insane. I mean something is beyond seriously wrong with you if you end up shooting almost 100 people, I'm not sure but I think that's alot more than the average soldier in any war, there's something to think about. It's a f'd up world, I feel like shit thinking about the people that lost their kids and close ones to some random psycho who thinks it's ok to prove a point by killing people that's haven't done anything wrong. People he didn't even know, the biggest reason was prolly just the location.

The reason to my headline this time is that it seems like people loose their driving skills when it starts raining, today it rained kinda hard but it wasn't bad. However, people drove 20 below the limit which is in my opinion retarded. But I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. Hoooray for all you drivers out there pissing me off in the traphic. Come to think about it I get pissed off at everyone while driving, so nothing new there.

Lately my life has been kinda the same as all the weeks before. That would be work and working out. Aamos introduced me to a sport new to me, bouldering.
Bouldering is a style of rock climbing undertaken without a rope and normally limited to very short climbs over a crash pad (called a bouldering mat) so that a fall will not result in serious injury. It is typically practiced on large natural boulders or artificial boulders in gyms and outdoor urban areas. However, it may also be practiced at the base of larger rock faces, or even on buildings or public architecture (see buildering).
Straight outta wikipedia.
This picture will give you an idea if you're still wondering. This is actually the place we went to today!

I really recommend this for anyone, great fun and an awesome workout.
And if you wanna try it out the first time will cost you 6 or 7€.

I actually went bouldering for a cupple of hours today, after that I went to my first Body Pump class ever, haha! Body Pump was awesome. I felt like an idiot at first since my arms didn't want to move that much at first after the bouldering and only my feet were moving. I think I got the hang of it the last 20mins. It's basically more or less a full body workout with step boards, hand weights etc etc. I know alot of guys think it's like a chick thing but there was actually around 30% males there, this makes you feel abit better since you prolly won't be the only weird lookign dude there. Awesome workout if you like to really work out to the limit. After the bodypump I continued with basic stuff at the gym since biggest looser was on so I couldn't miss that. So I used everything that was in sight of the TV for almost an hour. Treadmill, exercise bike and the rowing machine.
Now I'm tired but I feel awesome.

I knew she was the perfect and I taught it couldn't get any better, but c'mon, boobies launching fireworks!!! Perfect woman ^_^
