History repeating itself

And while my life went a full circle repeating the same thing it has in history the song below was repeating itself in my head..

Piece of heart

Never a dull moment

Today Tommy Lee moved in with me..

Naughty or nice

Different kind of Christmas movie.. ;)

Tattoos & Tequila

If you didn't know it yet, I absolutely love Mötley Crüe. After saying that I must say that they've given me sort of mixed feelings lately. I just finished reading Vince Neil's book "Tattoos & Tequila - To hell and back with one of rock's most notorious frontmen". Loved it almost as much as I did love "The Dirt" and "Heroin Diaries". But as said.. mixed feelings.

I do get his feelings about that his bandmates let him down when he was in jail and when Skylar was in hospital for the cancer treatments. Plus the Razzle incident. But I do understand his fellow bandmembers as well. To react to the situation correctly, so to say, they should've had their own shit together.. and they sure as hell didn't have their shit together. Besides, Nikki agreed to give an interview for his book and did NOT say one bad thing about Vince.. okey, he spoke mostly about the band and mentioned himself a couple of times too much, but still.. kinda seems like the only one Mr Neil ends up hurting is himself. And he even said in the book that somewhere deep down they surely love each others.. why not let the old thing go, be by-gones..? Why not just simply open his mouth and tell straight to their faces that "hey guys, I love you and shit, but I was hurt by the things that happened" and then move on..? It can't be that hard. Focus on the good things you've had, right?

Yet at the same time I see the resemblance in my own life.. but all can't be equally trustworthy friends, as well all things said and done just can't be forgotten. But at least I try to learn about it.. and then I move on. I've tucked all the shit happened to me to the backpocket of my jeans so to say.. and try actively forget where I put it. :D Some things are easier to forget than others.. and to be honest, some things I don't even want to forget. Because if there ever comes more shittier situations with those same people from the past.. I'll just put my hand to my backpocket and shove that shit to their face. But I'm not looking to get my revenge, I'm not that pitiful person. I'll just keep those things in my mind just in case of emergency, sort of a back-up plan to distract people while I escape.. ;D

But about books.. can't wait for my "Tommyland" to arrive.. :) And I even ordered myself FINALLY my own "The Dirt".. I've already bought it twice but haven't got one for myself.. and while waiting, I'll drown myself to fantasy world created by Paul Hoffman, "The left hand of God".

Hardcore

I found a song I fell in love with from the very first words. Love this band. And love this song even more. Here are the men of the month.. ;) Dedicate this for now to my little sister who has a moon&star -tattoo on her back that I've designed.. <3

Hardcore Superstar - Moonshine

Go figure..

Same old plot, some changes in the cast..

Undying wisdom about imagination?

"Imagination is the main difference. It might be the only difference between us and them (between me and them, between me and you).. Imagination makes an artist. Imagination makes EVERYTHING possible. And a little practise."

Quote by Lindiz (That's me alright!)

I was watching a movie tonight. Had a change of comments in facebook about watching movies. I told I'd rather enjoy a proper action-movie by myself, alone, than have company that can't stop talking or starts laughing during the hottest action-scene saying things like "no way, can't be done"... I think a little believing won't harm any of us.. Imagination DOES make everything possible. So what if it's against the laws of nature that the good-looking hunk is levitating in a TV show.. and someone tells you he's cheating somehow, it's a camera trick or whatever.. Or that Angelina Jolie as Fox in the movie Wanted curves a bullet to a perfect circle.. and then in comes Adam Savage with Mythbusters telling that it's not working like that in real life.. It doesn't necessarily mean that it can't be done. We just haven't figured out yet how to do it.. (Besides, Criss Angel IS HOT!! No matter, levitating or not.)

I could tell you about having a vivid memory where I levitate myself but you'd think of me as a crazy person after that.. guess you might think that already.. and besides, it might just have been a dream that I had as a teenager (a VERY vivid one). Probably I've read a few too many fantasy books with the drow, magicians, swordfights etc.. but I do hope that I'll never, ever lose my imagination or take for granted when someone says that such things are impossible to do.. Because if we lose our imagination like that, if we aren't able to dream about that kind of things, what's left for us really?!? Because it's the dreams, the imagination that drives people into inventing new things, creating new solutions, trying to make this world a better place.. and don't we all want this world to be a better place, for all of us?

I'm feeling really sorry for those people who can't imagine impossible things could happen. I'm sad for those people who don't dare to dream big..

And now I'm heading to my bed dreaming about a kiss.. it's a pretty huge thing for me, I'm not sure if I can imagine such thing to happen.. ;)

Awesome

Our boys from TDT, The Dagger Thanks have published their first music video.. spot me in it if you can.. ;)

Lips of an angel

Lately, I've been having these dreams about kissing a certain person. I'm pretty sure (?) it has something to do with the fact, that I kissed that certain person not too many days ago. Of course I could be wrong with that..

The dreams that I have feel so real that I don't ever wanna wake up again. And when I wake up? I want to cry out loud of frustration. Oh why?!? WHYYYYY!!!?? For over a year I felt fine about being single, being by myself.. And just less than an hour ago I was having a nap. And in my dream I could feel his body next to mine, his arms around me.. and while we were lying there in the spoon position I could feel the kiss he gave to the back of my head.. I turned around and held his face with my both hands and kissed him and told him I....

I want to go back to sleep.. ;)

Oh, how silly of me

"Let me apologize to begin with, let me apologize for what I'm about to say.." (Linkin Park: In between)


I wanted to share what an amazing person you are, tell others how great friend you've been once again and show to you and to the rest of the world how important you are to me.

Sorry, I'll NEVER do that mistake again.

I'm tired of apologizing for everything I say or do. So I raise my hands up. I'll say no more, I'll do no more. I've given up. I tried being open and spontanious but it backfired every time I did it. I wanted to be more like me (and less like you) but seems that the true me isn't appreciated.

To make sure that I make a total fool out of myself, I intend to share this blog update in my facebook profile. So, for gods' sake, prepare yourself for all the shit you'll have to take because of me opening up. Love you much.

We cannot linger

Pay TV was available for everyone during the last weekend and I did watch some movies.. One of the movies I watched (again) was Black Hawk Down with Orlando Bloom. So he's my man of the month. You gotta love him. He's just amazing in The Pirates Of Caribbean as Will Turner and in The Lord Of The Ring as Legolas Greenleaf. Legolas has been my favourite from the first time I read the book. I've read it three times from the beginning to the end and it is a book I'll always start over when I feel like reading something and have no new books to read at hand.

Weekend in pictures

I visited my nephew.. and got lots of hugs and kisses.

Heavenly gates

Why does it seem like it's always the ones that are good and kind that suffer the most and are taken away from us way before their time..

Today I updated my status in facebook: "Open up those heavenly gates of Yours wide open because one good and kind is coming way before his time.. :'( "

Wishing for the best, expecting the worst..

"Don't think you are, know you are."

I had difficulties to deside who is the man of the month.. but since the last two have been musicians I suppose change would do good. And one can't go wrong with Keanu Reeves. And he also is a great musician. Besides I got also to use one of my favourite quotes to the title, from the movie Matrix... Time to kick some ass. :)

And what comes to ass-kicking let me happily tell you that my friends' band Modern Day Citizen went to the finals in the Radio Rock's Rockstarba competition. Yay guys!!! They really kick ass with their music, been humming their song Marrow for a couple of days now.. seems it got stuck in my head.. :)

Boys are back in town

I planned yesterday I would go to the movies to see The Inception with not-so-dreamy DiCaprio but since I was feeling a bit low I went today instead. And because the 5 o'clock show was sold out, instead of finding the crime scene inside my head, I went to see the absolute action movie, The Expendables. There is nothing that makes me bounce back up like a proper action movie. And this one had everything I needed: big guns, big biceps and big badasses getting kicked the hell out of them. And lousy jokes.

I guess it's not a surprise but the plot was poor, nothing to make you wow. But I found myself liking Jason Statham for the first time, actually thinking that the man is a hunk indeed, especially when he smiles. And ofcourse I liked Jet Li, there's no fight scene he can't handle. But I was disappointed that Mr. Willis wasn't taking any actual part in the action... And Stallone and Rourke... a pair of old hags if I may say. The only good part with Stallone was the scene with Mr. Mayor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold was walking out from the church and Bruce asked Stallone "what's wrong with him" and Sly replied: "He wants to be a president." I bet there was not a single person in the movie theatre that didn't laugh at that point.

So, I wasn't that impressed of this movie. Hopefully The Inception has a better plot.. although I'm not a huge fan of Leo.. But I guess his movie will be able to twist my crooked mind more than these muscular soldiers from hell. And it gives me something to do while I wait for the new Angelina Jolie movie, Salt, to come out.

If you didn't get it yet.. I absolutely LOVE action movies.

Will it ever be my turn..

..to be loved by someone? Am I destined to pour my heart out and never get anything in return from anyone? If that's the case, could someone please let me know so that I could dig myself a hole and give up this shitty life..

Beat it

In less than two weeks I have my first volleyball training after having a break from playing for 16 years. Excited!!!! Thrilled!!!! Pumped up!!! :)

I'm with the band

I'm reading the book written by Pamela des Barres: I'm with the band - confessions of a groupie. I assumed it would tell openly about the life in backstages, using drugs during the years of all-free-love-and-peace (=60's) and having sex with various, famous musicians.. I've read over 100 pages and I'm not impressed yet. Reading goes on...

Hulabalooooo..

It's been quite some time from my last blog entry. I've been busy. And tired. Not at all in the writing mode although I've had some ideas of different subjects I could write about. But hey, creative pause might do good, at least now I have plenty to write about. And this is my first update to you all.

As said I've been busy. There has been all kind of events I've taken part to and I suppose those events are a good thing to start these updates with. I'll start with Karuna unplugged. It's a local happening about 30 km from where I live, by the sea in a little village called Karuna. Only Finnish artists. I decided this one pretty quickly, there was only one artist I wanted to see, Jore Marjaranta, but since the price to the event wasn't that bad, I thought that I could go there and keep some company for my friend as well. And I'm happy that I did. I saw one old friend who came to say hi to me. Haven't seen him or heard of him anything after I moved away from Kemiö and we used to spend quite a lot time together. He is one of the boys I used to hang with as a teenager. We were nothing more than friends, like most of those boys were to me. I played football, tennis, basketball with them. Of course I had huge crush on few of them but thing never evolved to that certain point where I would have dated any of them. Well, anyway.. after the last band in the event we headed to Paimio where we were overnight at my friends parents house and headed back home the next day.

The next event was a bit bigger one.. it was in the news all over the world.. guess it already?!? Yup, I was in Sonisphere Finland. In the storm and all. But to tell this correctly to you, I'll start from Friday 6th. I got home from work quite late and headed to a local gig to a bar named Graceland (I've mentioned it there before if you've read my blog pre-Sonisphere.). I wasn't planning to go to Pori on Friday anyway so this was perfect, a night at a bar with a couple of friends and early start the next morning with bus towards Pori. The star of the night was that troubadour I've mentioned many times before. That mysterious troubadour is the lead singer in The Dagger Thanks, Jimi. The night was splendid, we got to hear the new TDT song before they recorded in the studio and we got to hear it acoustic. The song worked as a charm, I listened with tears in my eyes. Me and Jimi hugged when we left the bar our separate ways, he said his usual "C-U-l8r" to which I answered with not so usual "If I'll survive this weekend". "Sure you will", was his answer before he turned his back to me and walked to the car.. Well, as we can now see, Jimi was right, I did survive the weekend with only some wet clothes and feeling disappointed because Mötley Crüe didn't show up and I missed Iron Maiden as well on Sunday because their show was delayed with two hours and had to make it to the last bus so I could show up at work on Monday morning.. Although the disappointment I had a blast that weekend. I got to know 7 guys from Iisalmi who kept me drinking and eating (All I paid for after arriving to Pori on Saturday was a pack of cigarettes.). Sunday I spent with my friend Marissa and her other half Antti, who were kind enough to let me sleep with them in their car. It was close that we didn't have a beer tent on our necks but luckily nothing serious happened to me or any of my friends.

Last weekend I was in two totally different events, one involving music and the other sports. On Friday I was in a small local festival called 2X Openair (2X referring to a place named Kakskerta [=translated as two times]). The Dagger Thanks was playing a gig there as well as some other (less important) bands. Had a blast, once again. I met a friend I lost contact with about a year ago because of several reasons although I don't have anything against her. Surprisingly she said hi to me, I was positively surprised, I expected that the situation would be awkward but it wasn't. Rest of the weekend I spent watching beach volleyball. My friends came to play here in Turku and I even got to touch the ball, first time in sixteen years. Awesome!!!

So, here is the first update. More text will come soon, maybe even today.

They did it again!!!

New release from The Dagger Thanks.

Laughing my ass off by myself...

Today to Graceland, tomorrow Sonisphere Finland. My other foot is already going fast... and I'm sitting only on my other butt cheek... and rock or not, but I'm taking some woolen socks with skulls with me to Sonisphere for a friend who lives about 20-30 minutes car drive from me.. because the chances of us meeting there are way better no matter the 40000 people and 2 hours bus drive... x)

PS. It does take away most of the wow-effect if I reveal that Graceland is a bar in Finland, doesn't it..?!? So let's pretend that I didn't reveal the fact that it is just that, okey?!

What do you mean..

..by asking am I bored at work?!

Gimme the beat

Iron Maiden works real well when hitting your head against the wall.. pissed off. Got nothing more to say today.

What you gonna do when they come for you..

Some of you might remember the late night show C.O.P.S. Well, I'm probably forced to contact police next week. I thought I bought a ticket to Sonisphere festival through a Finnish bargain site where private people can sell their stuff like furniture, clothes, mobile phones, concert tickets and such.. this happends to be my first bad experience of the site. The guy who was selling the ticket haven't sent it to me even though I've already payed for it. He haven't answered to email either. I sent him today one last email, asking do I really have to contact police or will he take care of this thing, either send me the ticket or pay me my money back. I'll give him time over the weekend to response, in the beginning of next week I'll contact police..

I hope I'll at least get my money back.. so annoying to think that I might have to pay for the festival ticket twice... how can some people be so stupid?! Does he really think that I wont act?!? If I'd be a millionare I might let him slide from this.. but I'm not a millionare..

For a moment I even played with the thought of calling a couple of my friends, big, mean-looking bad asses and ask them to take care of this thing.. kick the money out of his ass, so that he'll remember forever not to mess with money of other people..

No surprise..

I suppose it's no surprise that THE MAN of the month is truely a genious. Loved his gig at Ruisrock, loved Myles Kennedy in the vocals and Mike Monroe visiting the stage.. but most of it all I loved to FEEL that guitar, hear it live.. it actually brought tears to my eyes at the moment.

Riders in the sky

So went by a weekend with my nephew again. Had a lot to do once again, singing and reading and dancing and just being silly with the little fellow. Went swimming for the first time this summer and visited my cousin in Salo as well. Too bad I'll have to go to work again tomorrow.. could have spent a longer time there with him.

Bought that silly boy two pair of sandals and a Star Wars t-shirt as well as two summer hats. He liked the sandals and hats so much he was wearing them even inside the house. And when he saw Yoda on the t-shirt he started roaring.. apparently everything but dogs and horses roar. Dogs say vuff-vuff and horses say i-ha-haaa.. but Yoda roars. And Spiderman roars. As well as lions, tigers, pigs and rabbits... well, can you tell what rabbit sounds like?!?! I sure haven't heard them make anything but eating noises..

Watch and weap!!

http://lindiz.pictures.fi/kuvat/Bands/Ruisrock

Only thing that would've made my (yester)day even better is if I would've gotten the plectrum from Slash instead of my friend who doesn't appreciate it as much as I would... But come on, look at those pictures.. with my pocket camera, can you believe it!?!??? I'm amazed of them myself. And hell of a proud of myself. :D

Summer sickness

I'm still sick. No fever no more, but still trying to cope with the flu and coughing.. Last night coughed so much so long that I threw up. Woke up 2 pm today. But I'm fighting.. Because tomorrow is a special day: Ruisrock and SLASH!!!!!!

Thursday was also perfect. The Dagger Thanks had their first gig in Klubi. What an awesome show they gave us. Got some fantastic photos with that tiny pocket camera of mine. :) And the booze certainly helped medicating my flu... yeah right. But at least it made the day at work fell better. Because I really don't like my job at the moment, this week has been pure hell. But I'm trying to stay positive: at least I get enough money to go to all of the summer festivals I want to go. Sonisphere, I'm coming!! Going to see Mötley Crüe, Alice in Chains, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden and so on.... And if the job still feels like a burden at the end of September, I'll just tell there will be no more of it after the trial time. It's better off being unemployed than stuck with a job you hate.

Next weekend it'll be a visit to my brother, going to see my nephew. Live and not just through the web cam. But now I'm off to bed, hopefully no puking this night.. Hopefully some sleep for a change.

Not that kind of fever..

I'm having fever, not a good kind of fever. Terrible flu and this weather doesn't make my being any easier. I love the warm weather but hate to be sick. And like that wasn't enough, I worked 11 hours today.. Still kind of waiting and hoping that someone  at work would properly teach the job for me but seems more like the opposite, got to learn it on my my own.

Sucks to feel this sick, especially this week. So much to do this week. Two gigs, a friend coming into town, invitation to a party on Thursday (before the gig), Ruisrock festival.. I still haven't loaded those last photos from my camera to my page... so much to do, so little time and so little energy. Not happy about this situation right now..

Not as planned

I planned to tell you guys about my new work on last Tuesday.. I didn't have much to tell, so it's been waiting for a better time. I've worked for four days now and I'm quite liking the work. It's a small family company with four people plus me. I work as a secretary, taking care of the paper work in the office. Quite different from the office work I've done before. I get payed twice a month and can't complain about the pay-check. :) First I'll have a two month trial period, we'll see the situation again after that.

Midsummer festivals passed by as well. I stayed at my dads place and took it easy. On Friday I was visiting my aunt, father's sister. We grilled with quite a bunch of people and I drove people home afterwards. My aunt had made some necklaces and bracelets and gave me one of both. The necklace was perfect with my dress. Absolutely love the combination!!

On Saturday we grilled at dads, my brother came with his family to visit and the sun was shining and everything was pretty awesome. Nephew seemed happy as usual and he got a t-shirt made by his aunt (me!!!), once again. He was smacking his mouth when he saw those grilled steaks and ate with good appetite. After eating he wanted grand dad to play some keyboard with him, so I made the coffee while they were making some, ehh, sweet music.. :D After they went back home, we watched the movie Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law... A bit disappointed..

Sunday I visited my mum and got some strawberry-cream cake with coffee. After that it was time to get back home. Had good luck with me, a friend drove by with her car when I was walking to the bus stop and so I got a ride home. Watched a movie from my computer before heading to bed and today it was back to work.

Busy week ahead..

Monday warrior

So, I got the job. Starting tomorrow morning half past 8. More about the job tomorrow.

Just another score?

Job interview on Monday.

Me vs. Me

And so was the weekend gone again and we need to face Monday again. I had a pretty, ehhmmm.. interesting..?? weekend. Occasionally I was feeling like I was in the middle of a war zone when disputing with me, myself and I. My friends in high school used to think that I have two personalities in me, they even named those personalities. Linda was the more serious, a bit sad and gloomy personality. The lively, happy personality with sparks in her eyes was known as Alanis. That's because at that time I looked a lot like her, Alanis Morissette, I mean.

 Well, anyway.. about my weekend. Friday was pretty much perfect. As I told I went to a gig to listen that troubadour, friend of mine. Had a blast!! Laughed so much again. And as I got home, I was still feeling happy, couldn't stop smiling. Fell asleep with a smile on my face. Then came Saturday morning... I was feeling totally down.. I was feeling only-lonely.. feeling antisocial.. yet craving for some TLC.. I was almost like a coma patient, sitting in front of my computer just staring blankly to the screen, not able to act.. The KIP-picnic.. I didn't go. I just couldn't get that much out of me, I spent most of the day with my morning gown on.. I had been also invited to a party on Saturday. I fought with myself all day long.. to go, not to go, to go, not to go... I desided to skip it. And then he called. Around 9 pm my phone rang and there was my friend, my voice with a smile, asking if I'm coming or not.. I told that I was feeling antisocial.. He said it's all fine, I'll come visit him some other time. After the call I fought myself again, ten minutes perhaps.. I desided to go after all.. I called him back when I was leaving from my courtyard. Said that I was coming. He said I was welcome.

I arrived there after 20-30 minutes of biking. Inside was about ten-fifteen people. Spent about three hours there with those people, emptied my wine bottle, slowly climbed up from the black hole I created.. left with the same door opening with last guests. Biking home in the pouring rain. I didn't mind, I was feeling fine. Rain is our thing, inside joke in which he calls up a rain everytime I'm on my way home after spending time with him.. I was soaking wet from the rain and sweat when I got home. Took a warm shower and went to bed.

Sunday was one of those in-between days.. not feeling really happy or sad.. just spending time, not feeling anything special. Worked a bit with Photoshop, ate well and watched TV. Went to bed quite late and woke up even later this Monday morning.. I had my morning tea listening Foo Fighters from Spotify. Feeling pretty mellow, a bit melancholic, sort of happy-sad, if you know what I mean.. Waiting for what the day brings..

Time flies by..

The weeks seem to pass so quickly. I feel like it just was Saturday and I was spending some quality time with my nephew and now it's already Friday.. Where did the time go, did I do anything useful.. I guess not, spent time in the sun, spent time next to computer.. Well, yes I visited two happenings on Wednesday. Haven had open doors, bands playing and such. And I was also present in ArcDia product launch. That's the company where I was practising (and designing the visual look of their marketing material). And now it's Friday. Not just any Friday, my younger brother John (also known as krIItikern or Jompiz) has a birthday today. He's turning 21. Hugs and kisses to him, miss him so much. But as the situation is that he lives in a different country, I guess I'll have celebrate his birthday without him. So today I'm going once again to a gig.. not a surprise?!? Five minute walk and I get to see the troubadour I've mentioned earlier a couple of times. Many of my friends are disappointing me when not showing up there tonight but it's their loss.. besides after not coming to a local gig they don't have any reason to complain during fall/winter the lack of gigs. I refuse to listen them do that.

And today my nephew also got tubes into his ears.. poor baby has had ear infections since December.. hopefully this helps for good. Brave little fellow, auntie Linda sends some extra love to your direction!!! <3

Did I by the way already mention that I was in the promo shoot with TDT.. some idiot (It wasn't me?!?) forgot to turn off the date from the camera.. so now I have about 170 pictures that need a touch of photoshop.. cool.. Not!

Tomorrow we'll have the KIP-picnic(Knit In Public).. it looks like it's going to be rainy so the picnic will be moved indoors into a cafe. And my dear friend is having a party tomorrow as well.. so busy busy busy.

VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!

Go put some stars for the song!!

Thanks, The Dagger Thanks

Awesome day yesterday!!! I got to see the promo shoot of TDT and I  can assure you that I had a blast before and during. Laughing my ass off two days in a row, my stomache and cheeks are sore because of all the laughing.. Love those guys!! I was also behind the camera, taking photos of the whole situation, of guys preparing for the shoot and fun stuff like that. Over 200 photos with my little pocket camera in two-three hours. There was almost everything you can imagine around a rockstar: red velvet, golden pillows, finest cognac and champagne, money, poker chips, bling bling and ofcourse those not-at-all-bad-looking rockstars themselves. Not bad I say.

But now, back to normal. Holmes has travelled away again and I need to prepare myself for the next event, weekend with quality time with my nephew. :)

Play it again Sam...

Now The Dagger Thanks is even in Myspace.. The page is still under construction but as all the good things even this takes some time. I'm already waiting for the next thing these guys publish.. maybe a facebook profile for Holmes..?! HAHAHAHA!!

Swimming in your ocean

So he sails away again. And I give him to the sea, not knowing when he'll be back. Hoping the waves soothe his pain and rock him into peaceful sleep at night. I wish that the laughs that we had will stay fresh in his memory and he thinks of me with a smile on his face. I'll tell the sun to give up some warmness to his heart and soul because his heart is too good and too kind to be frozen, and his soul seems so fragile right now. I'll send birds to his vessel so he would know that he's never alone. I'll command the winds to blow those sad thoughts away from his head. And if it's necessary, I'll call in a storm so that he won't have time to think at all. The thunder will be there to give his heart the rhytm to beat with, and lightning will make him blind for his own tears, even those he haven't let out. Finally, I'll plea a soft, overwhelming mist to surround him, giving him the peace of mind he so desperately needs. And I'll ask the stars to watch over him and guide him safely to the dock. Because I'm waiting here.

Loving, being close and caring doesn't cost a thing.

And I care.

A lot.

Headache

No wonder I have a headache.. Some serious thunderstorm here today.

The Dagger Thanks - Precious toy with joy

Kicks ass and hard!!!

Like a boiled crab

So, that was the day. Started out early, ate breakfast at 8am and headed shopping to UFF with my friend. After that I came home, took a little nap and headed out again to Fox for a gig. Before I got out the door the phone rang, got some driving to do after the gig. I didn't mind, it was all good and fun. Sun was shining and I look like I've been sitting in the sun for several hours... Finally came home at 9pm and got some food in me, grilled chicken with couscous and tzatziki sauce. Now I'm going to throw away my clothes and head to bed.

I like it when it's hot. And that includes people and weather.. ;)

Thunder and lightning

It is hot!! And I love it. Weather is pressuring and I'm waiting for the thunder. Sweeeeeeeet!!! Went with bike today, had no big plans. Stopped by to buy some colour for my hair and stopped at the flea market. Then headed to fabric store nearby and bought two summer-y fabrics so that I can make some summer tops/tunics to myself.

Tomorrow I'll be busy. Early morning. Heading to UFF with my friend Adelheid, hopefully I find some nice things there because they'll have everything with one euro.. some old curtains to a summer dress or something.. And then heading to Fox in the afternoon to listen some real good music once again.

Now I'm going to take a book and head to my bed for hour or two, it's too warm to do anything in my "sauna" (read: appartment). Fan on and some cold water next to the bed. That'll be perfect. Probably start with the tops/tunics this evening. Going to destroy even one of my dresses for that purpose.

FRI-WED

Today it's Thursday and I'm back in the city. I actually came home yesterday after spending five fabulous days in Perniö, visiting my brother's family. My nephew is a big boy already. He's walking already long walks, he is getting rid of the bottle with the help of his parents and did his first poop to the potty. We had lots to do while I was visiting there, he had to ride the rocking horse, we went twice for a walk with mum and their dog, Väpä, visited a couple of flee markets and ofcourse Reija and I were doing some handicraft. Five days passed by pretty quickly but it was all fun and relaxing. I'm already excited to see what my nephew has learned when I visit them/see him the next time. He is such a fun boy, his parents have been teaching him some really "useful" things.. :D Like when somebody says "Oh my God" the boy puts one hand to his forehead just like if he would remember something. And when you say "Oh no" he raises both of his hands to the sides of his head.. And when he is putting his index finger to his mouth and then quickly taking it out to point upwards.. it means "Belissimo!!" And all the laughing and giggling.. he is such a happy boy. And I think he's gotten something from his aunt to his genes because he loves books and reading.. he can read the same book over and over again, pointing pictures, listening when you tell him what it is and trying to repeat it.. smart boy!!

It looks like the summer is finally on its way to Finland. My studio feels like being in sauna. The sun shines in almost the whole day, I don't have a balcony and both of my windows are to the same direction so no hope from cooling down. Thank goodness I bought the fan last summer, at least I have something to help in the heat. It looks like a beautiful day outside but I'm not interested of going out right now, feels like I have migraine on the way.. it might also be that there is some thunder in the air, it feels a bit pressuring.. But I sure am going to enjoy of the warm weather during the weekend, starting tomorrow. Going to buy a new hair-colour.. I would love to visit my hair stylist Olli in Rock'n'Style but you all probably know how it is when being unemployed... and I need to do something to my hair or else I'll rip it all off soon...

What else.... well yeah, keeping myself busy.. lots of gigs and happenings, like the KIP-happening next month (KIP is shortened from the words Knit In Public). It sounds like fun and meeting the new people is  always exciting. Oh right.. now I remembered.. Some of you already might have noticed the new link in my blog there on the right hand side: lindiz.pictures.fi. All photographs I've taken will end up there in the future. Some files are public and some files require a password. If you are interested of some file there but don't have the password, just ask. I may or may not give it to you, depends what pictures you'd like to see and if I'm feeling nice or something totally opposite. :)

That's it today.. got to get away from the computer for a while, sitting next to the window in the sunlight... well you can probably guess that I'm not feeling cool at all.. and it's useless to even think taking a shower before the evening..

Promise - Slash feat. Chris Cornell

I fell in love with the first listening..

Dial 0700

The discussion yesterday took a weight off of my shoulders. What a relief that you had heard those things from other sources and I don't have to be the bearer of the bad news. And I still get to keep my secrets and a couple of aces up in my sleeve for the bad day. I prefer it that way, rather being a crazy bitch instead of being totally bitch. ;)

I have known from the beginning that there's a good heart underneath that gorgeous body and it feels good.. no, it feels great, it feels awesome, to know that there's such a smart head on those shoulders as well.

Luv ya.

Just writing..

I wrote a piece you could call some sort of a poem.. I wrote it in Finnish.

Kahvia ja likaisia astioita.
Tuulen pieksemiä lakanoita.
Pesemättömiä ikkunoita.
Keskeneräisiä asioita.
Ikävöin sinua.

The translation goes somewhat like this..

Coffee and dirty dishes.
Wind-beaten sheets.
Unwashed windows.
Incomplete things.
Missing you.

Ice cream party and The Dagger Thanks

Not connected to each others at all those two things in the title. But I'm writing about them both anyway in this one post.

Tomorrow I hope to get some free ice cream from Ben & Jerry's. They are arranging a happening tomorrow, in four cities here in Finland, where they hand out free cones of ice cream, their new taste.. Hopefully it's all sunny and warm tomorrow.. :D

And about TDT. They've announced their debut gig. They're performing for the very first time in 25th of July in Lieto, Finland. And on the same day, on that same stage performs also such stars as Robert Lighthouse (USA), Dr. Dave (USA) and Jarkko Martikainen (FIN) just to mention a few.

What now?

So, the practise is over. Didn't get a job from it. Back to normal unemployment. What should I do next?

Dynamite / Back in business

Slowly getting back to do things I love the most.. back in music business. Drawing again. And having a huge smile on my face. Ain't it funny how some people still can surprise you after so many years..?!

Keep your eyes open for a new band named The Dagger Thanks, TDT. I'll inform you more later, I guess as soon as boys have some material in myspace.

Fun Friday

  

I had a little visitor yesterday. His parents went to movies and I got to play with him for a couple of hours. I found out that I have two huts in my appartment as well as a bouncy-castle (don't know the correct term but you know those "castles" filled with air where kids go jumping)..

Wrecking my journal..

Sons of anarchy,
daughters of destruction;
this is my anarchist creation..

To create is to destroy

Got one of the funniest birthday presents from my friend yesterday.. a book named "Wreck this journal", written by Keri Smith.. It's going to be a tough one, even for anarchist like me.. ;) Well, we'll see next year, how I've done with it.. Today, when the actual day is, there isn't going to be anything special, I mean party-like action.. a friend of mine was talking about taking me out for a lunch but that's it.. I had coffee and cake and some great friends over on Sunday. And I was out on Friday. So that'll be party enough for me, at least for now..

Just saying...

That bitch ruins all the good guys if given the chance..

Overload

You may have noticed that I haven't been writing lately.. Long story short, I'm just tired. I have plenty of ideas, subjects that I'd love to write about but work/practise is wearing me down. And not only that. Since I don't really get paid (9 euros per day count as nothing) for this practise I constantly worry about money and getting along financially. So yes, I'm tired. And it doesn't show only in my blog. My fridge is pretty much empty all the time, I don't even have the energy to follow those blogs I usually read with great joy. But maybe soon. Maybe already this coming weekend. The sun is shining a little here and there and it seems to help. My iPod is still dead but I ordered (even though I really can't afford to buy anything) a new  MP3-player (temporary solution for so long I get enough money for new iPod) so maybe I'll get back to my running exercises and such. Small but meaningful things.

I wish sunny days to all of us!!

Stress level high/breaking down

Overwhelming stress is pushing me down, towards the ground.. Feel like I can't take it for long.. tired, mentally, just want to cry. Out of money, can't pay my bills.. reposessors will probably soon be knocking behind my door.. work/practice has killer schedules and it's taking over my thoughts even on free time..  my back and my hands are killing me, hurts like hell.. my iPod broke down and I can't live without my music.. can't sleep because worrying all the time.. even breathing is getting harder day by day..

Life is simply too hard at the moment..how much one can take, how much one have to suffer..??

I know I can't take this much longer.. I need help. I need a hug. I need a job that gives me paychecks that pays my bills. I need that special someone. I need to get out of this shit. I need a break.. before I break.

OMG!!

Facebook is soooooo bad.... I got a question all the way from Sweden about my woolen socks with skulls.. She wanted to buy some for her son. Unfortunately I'm busy busy busy right now... She'll have to wait her turn.. :)

Ironic

The friend is probably now drinking his second or third morning (YES; MORNING) beer... and me, unemployed, I am working from nine to five... I wouldn't mind free time and a cold beer right now. I hate Mondays. But I like beer...

"You know I'm a dreamer.."

That mean bastard!
He did it again!
I should kick his ass!!!

That young, good-looking (Nikki Sixx -like) troubadour with that deep, sexy voice of his.. Once again he got me. He touched my heart. He moved me from happiness to tears and back up high again. The gig of this evening was pleasure.. and pain. When he was giving a speech between two great song he even started a sentence by saying: "Well, Lindiz, my love..." Do you have any idea how long it has been from when I heard those words last time...?! ANY IDEA??? It's been ages ago, my love...

But no. There's nothing between us. Yes, it would be (too) easy to fall again, he's just that easy to love. But there is nothing between us, NOTHING LIKE THAT, I mean. I wouldn't mind if there was something, but there never will be. [Please, my love, tell me if I'm wrong..!! ;)] We are good like this, as friends. I love to hear him sing, I really like to talk with him, listen to his stories and laugh with him... Waiting for the next gig already!!

"..it's nothing but some feelings
that this old dog kicked up....
...I'll be there till the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme..."

You got me. Once again. My love. ;)

Awesome! Magnificent! Brilliant! Divine!

End of an era

When I first moved to this city, I had only a couple of friends living here. Lucky for me, I've never been shy or scared to do anything by myself. After the years of studying in Rauma I was used to go to a bar by myself. In Rauma that was never a problem, there was always a friend or two and if none of my friends were at the place, the personnel was. I started going out by myself here as well. Soon I found out which were the hot spots in the city. I met some friends and friends of friends. Those friends of friends became friends of mine.

Today I read kinda sad news from a band formed by those friends.. They're giving up as a band, taking separate ways. I knew it was coming, but still... Those fellas gave me some of THE BEST memories ever.. And even though at the end I had "different view on things" with their management, I never gave up on those guys, I never had a problem with them. So, I want to thank them for the memories, for all the good times. Thank you Uniikki!

Follow me home

I've had a strange week. Moods have been swinging from side to side. Monday was a good day, I had a great idea at work/practise and felt really good about it, greeting myself for my awesome imagination. Tuesday at work wasn't that great, I struggled through the day trying to find a way to make my idea come to reality the way I see it. But then the evening again was great, met some friends at a bar, listened to live music played by one dear and near.. Today was again ups and downs. Got some real good feed-back from my idea but still I wasn't able to make it look like what I was thinking. Did I mention I'm working with Adobe Illustrator? Planning brochures, posters etc. to the company, have a panic-causing time-table because they are taking part to three different summits during the spring and launching a new product..? I love the program and the possibility to use my creativity. And I absolutely hate it! I hate that I can't figure out how some things work in Illustrator and I hate that I don't have a clear idea in the mornings what I should do that day at work/practise. I hate that these problems with the computer follow me home. I spend most of my evenings thinking how I could solve the problems with the program. Can I go around it somehow or..? I'm starting to think that it was a good thing that the practise deal was made only for three months instead of the six that we first planned...

Thank god, this weekend is a party weekend.. A friend of mine is having a party on Friday and I got invited to a bar for a gig the same evening by that same dear and near friend who was playing yesterday. On Friday he will be with a band. And he is playing on Saturday evening as well, alone and acoustic. I actually had a crush for this friend few years back. I think he was a bit afraid of me then but after some travelling and growing up (maybe I've done that too, growing up I mean), he's become a good friend. Or at least a better friend. He is still keeping his distance but he's getting there, slowly. He is the one that gave me those little words "thank you" I told you about in my last post and he's repeating those words quite often now. It means a lot to me and it makes me feel good, it makes me feel appreciated, it makes me feel important and noticed, it makes me smile. And I sure don't mind THAT feeling following me home. Or anywhere else either. :) Some of you out there know that I've been hurt pretty bad by some of the relationships I've had in my life, even during the last year. These feeling I get from those small words.. they have the healing effect I've needed for quite some time. I'm not sure I can even find the words to show my gratitude to this friend of mine. And I guess it's ok, he might get scared again if I did find the words.. :D Ofcourse I could use those small but meaningful words back.. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Those small things, those small words

At least in the movies American people always seem to eat hot chicken soup whenever they are sick. Right?! Or their friends bring them the soup if they are sick enough and not able to get up from the bed. So I tried it too.. not helping. I bet the lunch I had yesterday (in the picture) would have been better choice.. My nose has been running and I've been sneezing all day long. The chicken soup seemed like a good idea.. but eating soup and sneezing.. not working together.. The lovely smell from the soup made me sneeze even more... But I have to brag about my lunch yesterday. I made on Wednesday rice and pork and added to the pork Uncle Ben's Mexican chili sauce, you know the one with kidney beans and all... I ate it happily two days and still something was left in my pots and pans.. I took french toast and put the rest of the sauce on them and IT WAS GOOOOOOOOD! Should've had as good food today as well but unfortunately I'll have chicken soup for two more days...

Anyway, enough tea and painkillers are keeping me up pretty good although I'm feeling quite tired. I also got some nice words from a friend of mine, he thanked me for some things that I've done. It made me feel good. It isn't really a big thing that I've done, just added some information to certain pages in the internet.. I'm hanging by the computer anyway, so it's not a problem. But that someone actually thanks me for doing such a thing and has trusted and noticed that I keep doing it even though it ain't really my "job" to do.. A simple "thank you" really does make a difference.. It made my day more than nice even though the running nose and all the sneezing..

If you could make your friend, your loved one or even a stranger to smile just by saying "thank you" or "hey handsome" or "I love you"... why wouldn't you say those words?!? You might save their day..

Hot in here

Yesterday I was fine, more than fine actually. Nothing wrong with me, I felt a bit bored but that's it. And today morning my nose was running. Flu, regular flu.. Off to work and sitting the whole day in cold office freezing and I came home with fever. I've stayed under my blanket ever since. Actually at the moment I wear two long pants, pullover and a fleece jacket, woolen socks, two blankets and I have my hot water bottle under the blankets. I absolutely love my hot water bottle!!! I got my hot water bottle from my job in Rauma. I spent my last summer there working as a sales person in optician's store. The hot water bottle is hidden in a husky dog, soft toy, not a real one. Nowadays I couldn't live without it. In summer I fill the bottle with cold water when I'll go to sleep because when the summer is warm my studio gets so sweaty after the sun shines in from my windows all day long. And I truely appreciate that bottle in moments like this, when having fever and freeeeeeeeezing. And it helps too. My fever is probably going down because I'm starting to sweat soon, already feeling nice and warm. And having the laptop, well.. on my lap.. it gets even warmer. Now I'm only hoping it passes by as soon as it came.. If I'm being so lucky, I can promise you update to my project blog tomorrow.. but we'll see that tomorrow then. Now I'm just too tired and trying to watch a film from TV... 'Til later!!

Basket case

So went by the weekend at my dad's. I went there on Thursday and came back home yesterday. And tomorrow starts my practice. I got to spend the weekend with my nephew again. He was mostly happy and smiling, at some point being tired brought some tears to his eyes and he wanted everybody to stay in the same room.. But we had fun, anyway, you can see it in the pictures.

He liked sitting in the basket. :D I was scratching the basket from the outside and he listened for awhile and then he scratched the basket from the inside. All in all he tried to imitate me when doing different things. When I was tapping my fingers against the table, he put his hand on my hand and tried to feel the movement and then he tried it himself. He learns fast now, after a month he'll turn 1 year old!! Otherwise everything went alright but it's a bit difficult to babysit him at my dad's because there's so many places where he's not allowed or where he can hurt himself. But as said everything went quite alright. I even got one pair of woolen socks done and started the next pair.

My cousin's daughter, to whom I am a godmother, turned 4 years old on the 17th. I remembered the birthday but since I went to my dad to babysit my nephew I totally forgot to send the birthday present.. I guess I'll have to send it today. If I remember correctly, she likes Hello Kitty -stuff.. I'm a bad godmother in that sence because I absolutely hate Hello Kitty. But as I said I'm the rock godmother who will take her to concerts and her first tattoo when she grows older... My first present to that little girl was a black and red body that had a text on it saying something like "Rock my cradle"..

Appreciating art

I don't know how many of you have been following the TV serie LA Ink where they follow Kat von D's tattoo studio in work. I'm not following the serie that actively either because I happen to like Miami Ink much, much more but not so long ago I once again watched LA Ink. They had an artist there as their client. And one other client who had decided to take a tattoo with a picture from that same artist. That one picture got stuck in to my head and I had to find out more about this artist. That artist was Derek Hess. Awesome artwork!!!

Beautiful operation

Manic Monday

Seems like I got the place.. :) Still need to do some paperwork so I'll get all the money available and then it starts.

Ready - steady - go?

Preparing myself for the interview tomorrow.. Breathe.... breathe... Breathing ain't that easy when every deeper inhale feels on my right shoulder, hurts... but still.. breathe. I'm not nervous, yet. My adrenaline rush comes five minutes before the interview. Now I'm just trying to relax, by breathing, obviously. Might have to get lying on the floor for a moment, to relax my back. Close my eyes and feel every muscle one by one.. and breathe. Stretch a little and then relax again. And breathe. So simple. But so often we ignore it.

Breathe.

Shit happens

Better case scenario me wouldn't let this ruin my evening but BCSM ain't here at the moment. The pineapple pie tastes like shit, I can't upload the movie on my computer and the fault is not in me!!! The pie looked exactly like the one my sister did but the topping was loose what it wasn't in my sister's pie and it tasted bitter. And the movie...?! It's possible to move only one digital copy from the dvd with the serial number and one copy from the computer to any other device.. Well yeah, I'll see the movie straight from the dvd but... and I was really hoping to have a nice evening watching the movie and eating a delicious pie but it all failed miserably. Guess I'll just pull on the blanket and hide from the world. I don't need this shit right now..

Edit: And I was feeling so happy today 'cause I got a "job" interview for the practising place.. but I can't enjoy of a movie now when I'm crying my eyes off.. and thinking about the money wasted for the pie ingredients...

In bed with Slash

There is absolutely nothing on TV today. So I'll spend my time in bed reading Slash's biography. Maybe watch Ice age 3 -dvd later this evening after eating and baking. Going to try how my sister's recipe for pineapple pie works with fresh pineapple. But for now.. I'll take my mug of tea, hot water bottle.. and Slash to my bed, under my blanket. :)

"..the rest are details."

Yesterday was a good day. I started from my appartment just after noon and jumped on a bus and headed downtown. I got to the movie theater and watched The Avatar -movie, in 3D. It was alright. The views were just amazing but the 3D glasses aren't really a pleasant experience.. They're heavy and anything but comfortable. The movie itself was pretty predictable but I liked it a lot. I would want to watch it again, in normal version.

I had made plans with my friend Eija the night before that we would meet and have coffee or something after I got out of the movie theater and she from job. I had about an hour to spend by myself after the movie, so I walked to library and discovered accidentally one very interesting book. It's called "Pretty in punk" (by Alyce Benevides and Jaqueline Milles) and it includes 25 punk, rock and goth knitting projects. I'm getting new ideas again to my knitting projects. :) From library I walked to the music store near-by, CD Kane. I found treasures from there as well. I bought two cd's from the used cd's rack.. Staind: Chapter V and Puddle of Mudd: Life on Display. I wandered in some clothing stores while waiting Eija but found nothing worth to buy. Or actually, I did, but those things weren't on sale so it doesn't really make a difference if I wait a couple of days.. or weeks before buying them.

Finally my friend called that she is sitting in the bus and is on her way. We went to Cafe Brahe to sit and have a bite. We sat pretty long time there, we had a lot to talk about. I MIGHT get a practicing place from the firm she works for and usually people who have been practicing there have ended with having a job there. After all the catching up we took a look to a couple more stores and then headed home.

Tomorrow my father is coming to city. We'll have a quick meeting at the hospital, I'll give him the other wrist warmer I made and he has some movies for me to borrow. Today I'll just relax at home, maybe clean a little and finish a couple project, listen to music etc..

Damn those Buddhists..

The title is a part of a quotation from the book written by Erlend Loe, Supernaive. The original text goes something like this (This is a translation by me, it may include some inaccuracies but you'll get the idea):

"I'm convinced that it is a matter of enthusiasm. The lack of it.

I need to find it. Conquer it back. It's hiding somewhere.

Probably it shouldn't be talked about. It is a bit like Zen.

By trying I can't ever succeed. I can succeed only if I don't try.

Damn those Buddhists. They think they are so damn smart."

Now you may ask why I thought of this text today.. Well, I'm sort of missing a person.. not just any person but a person that inspires me. I read and follow a lot of blogs that give me ideas and the feeling that I'd like to do such things as well. But to be honest.. I need a special person to inspire me so much that I'll take all these ideas to action or some serious ass-kicking.. I used to have that kind of person, but ever since Mondo Bizarro started their break I haven't had the privilege to get inspired by this certain person. Yes, I'm missing Woffe's writings. I would call him a friend even though we don't know each other's that well. It's that sort of feeling you just get with certain people. I respect his way of looking at life, I like his perspective of things. I like his twisted humour. He could inspire me simply with his writings. I can easily be a lazy-ass data-nerd but he got me off my ass and moving, taking the action. He annoyed me, I agreed with him, he made me feel guilty and he made me laugh. He is probably one of the most sane and insane person I've ever met. And it's all good. Wish he would continue writing soon, start a blog or something..

Late morning porridge

It seems I'm a bit slow today. I'm eating my morning porridge now, 1pm.. I've been up longer though and I've had my morning tea earlier. I've taken it easy today, reading some new blogs (Thanks to Monda who so kindly lists those blogs worth of reading.) and doing some knitting. I'm finally knitting something for myself. I have a pair of woolen socks on the way and I started two nights ago with a pullover with cables.

Yesterday I got my last Christmas present. And it was a good present, simply because it was the only present I got that I had mentioned on my Christmas wishlist in this blog of mine. I got the book of Slash, my good friend Heidi bought it to me. I'm a bit excited about the book because it is in Swedish (I believe I mentioned I prefer my books, especially biographies, in English..). I do read books in Swedish as well, don't get me wrong, I like reading books in Swedish and it's not any big deal. Actually I started reading this book already last night and it seems so interesting and I'm very happy to have the book. But I believe that I still have to read it at some point in English.. :) Simply because the fact is that most of the good stuff, most of the jokes lose their point when translated to some other language. And I want to GET IT all as it was meant. (A good example of how translation changes the book is Mötley Crüe's The dirt. I've read it both in Finnish and in English and I must say that the English version was way better. I did laugh and cry while reading both versions but still...) Anyway, Heidi also gave me a beautiful, handdyed blue garn and now my mind is slowly overheating when I try to come up with ideas what I could do of it. I also have two more projects going on, something for my nephew and to his mum, Reija, who won in my Christmas lottery. I'll tell you more of each project in my project blog later on, when they are close enough ready.. :)

Although the other Christmas presents I got weren't mentioned on my wishlist they are equally as good presents. I got a bracelet and some bling-bling to my mobile phone from my little sister. Her school friend makes those. I got ones with small silver skulls in between. I got almost matching earrings from my brother's family (I bet Reija had done the purchase.) and ofcourse.. Christmas isn't a Christmas without chocolate. I also got scissors I asked for, from my father and his wife. And the concert ticket to Sebastian Bach concert I got before Christmas from my friend Eija. I bought myself a perfume on my way back to Finland. That's pretty much everything I got. Good presents. :)

I desided to start real active job searching today. Well, the searching isn't really a problem. I've actually already found quite good places. But I absolutely hate to write job applications. Why can't someone just call me and tell they have a job for me.. Anyway, now I'll start getting ready to grocery store (that means getting clothes on)..
