I can't begin to tell you how much I hate those pop-up adds. I'm not going to pay to get rid of them again. Annoying.
So, summer, finally here. 10 full days of tropical temperatures (not nice). We didn't get it right with our first try, next week it's truth hour again, have we succeeded this time. Personally I don't think so as various signs are pointing towards Daniel Merriweathers song "Red" but I'll have to see. Mixed emotions I have about this, I would like to but then again it would be March and we already ahve so many birthday's in March...heck...half of Finland is born in March!
Talking about being born in March, it was midsummer this weekend. Deadfest in Finland :P This year there was though _only_ 15 people dead. But it is without a doubt the most deadly time whole year through. To me it's just the epicenter of home sickness. Something makes me long for the light, mosquitos and peace. There's something eternal in the summer of Finland. You feel reborn afterwards. Seems like this year I won't be reborn.

Hands up who's been neglecting their blog. o/
To start with I'd like to explain the reason for the colour green. It servers two purposes in this article. Firstly it is the colour of my new bike and secondly it symbolises the result of our current plans ;)
Last Saturday we went to a secondhand bicycle shop to look for a bicycle for me. The trip was made so that I could have a new bike but as it turned out, someone else also found his souldmate aka "look what an awesome mountain bike!" so we ended up making the shop owner a very happy man as suppose to a happy man. Since last weekend was one of those nice 4 days weekends we had more than enough time to go and endeavour the great outdoors with our new someone's ex-bike's. I totaled up at 43km's by the end of Monday, not bad for two days, huh? The only downside of starting cycling again after 2,5 years of no cycling at all plus doing so with a "new" bike is the screams of pain heard from ones gluteus maximus and the bones surrounding it. I swear I can still feel the place where the saddle hits crying it's sad song...it goes something like this...."...buy a softer saddle......noooow..."

Have you ever thought about what kind of person you are? Are you a team player or a solo act? Do you prefer to eat alone during lunch or with a group of people regardless if you know them or not? Do you like odd or even numbers? Do you need to have a moment alone every know and then or do you require constant company?
Yours truly belongs to the group that performs best when alone, enjoys her peace to chew the dried out cheese sandwich alone, conciders her lucky number to be 5 and will go mental on you if you don't leave her alone every once a while. Yours truly does however know a considerable amount of people that will not go for anything else than constant company 24/7 356 days. Youts truly goes sometimes a bit mental with these people...for various reasons. But enough of yours truly.
Some time ago I heard in a tv show popular to women a character say that the most important relationship you will have in your life is with yourself. So I suppose the question should be how do you prefer yourself to live, what kind of realtionship do you want to have with yourself. Would you like yourself to be the light of a party or to just have few close friends to share the ups and downs with. Whatever your preferance is they all have one thing incommon, you. As a summary (and yes, this is the only sentence you needed to read from this article) treat yourself correct, pursuit your dreams, don't look back and always make yourself happy with or without others (unless it involves manslaughter..).

Some time ago I stubmled upon an article decoding the video of a famous pop diva duo. In this article the reader is firstly introduced to the fact how the first impression of the song and video can be misleading and how it actually is full of signs of the mind control programming used in entertaining industry.
After reading the article the feeling I had was frustration, here we go again, another conspiracy theory. After a week I found myself finding out more information about this mind control, searching for other articles, watching videos etc. According to all these bits of information, symbols of the programme are all around us and seen in every day mass media. Every butterfly, pair of red shoes, covered eye, reference to a famous animation company, robotic behaviour or the well-known heavy metal hand sign are tall tale sign of the programming. After reading and seeing all this information of the undercover-behind-the-scenes reality i felt something, a feeling that is a mix of disappointment, confusion, disbelief and a hint of heureka. After few more weeks my thoughts returned to all this new learned and I started to think that how does it effect me. I do not even live in america where all these mind controlled robots seem to be situated. The only connection I have to them is the occasional sound of their music or a glimpse of them in movies. I haven't yet found the connection this all has to the john and jane doe. Let's hope it never will.

Time for some burgundy, don't you think?
I just realised that we want to extend our mortgage because we want to have a new shed in the backyard. My first question was that why to you love loaning so much. Carloan, mortgage, credit limit on the account...I'm going nuts. I thought that we were living in the time of financial crisis but was clearly mistaken. Starting to get the feeling that I'm the only one that is worried about how we are surviving and being able to pay all the bills, be able to work, feed the pets and ourselves and if in any way possible to leave a tiny bit in store for the bad days. It is an admirable ability to be able to dream and take chances without being worried about the future and to live for here and now. Your truly is not able to master this fine ability but spends her days worrying and thinking that how this and that will effect the future. Yours truly doesn't like surprises and wants to be prepared for the worst case scenario all times. I suppose it's a bit of a childlike way of thinking being able to just let go and live. This doesn't mean of course that adults don't live and some of us are even able to master both and walk the line between being worried and prepared for what might come and still be able to live to the full. But, no pain no gain so if I or we want to be sitting in the garden enjoying the warm summer evening I suppose it's time for another hand in our wallet.
