Now when I´m talking about visitors from another world I´m not talking about this:

or this:

I´m talking bout this:

.....HEEEEEEELP!!!!

yeah...maybe this:

wasn´t the worst case scenario after all XD

Naa I´m kidding. I love visitors and these two especially <3

To begin I´d like to thank my cousin Julia Pelin (Pölään) and one of my best friends
Harri "Haba/Maitokylmiö" Harju for a most wonderful visit. Like the three wise kings of the Bible they came a long way from an eastern land and with them they had glorious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
And by gold, frankincense and myrrh i mean rye bread (heaps of it), smoked ham and a Truvirtu Oyster (metallic wallet, elegant as f*ck).

I travelled to airport early this Thursday morning to meet these visitors from another world. It´s seemed as if my comrades brought the sunshine and cloudless skies with them as well. The sun layed it´s warm rays upon us and it made us merry and rejoyced and enjoyed this reunion basking in the sunlight. We exchanged memories from the old times as we walked to the bus stop. The sun´s gaze was so strong infact that we had to cover our eyes with sunglasses and shades. Harri put on his real Raybeti´s, Julia her real Calvin Klein shades and I shielded my eyes with a pair of 6 Euro shades from Newyorker.
We took the bus to Freising and observed how the skies and the earth became one 100 km in the south and how the warm alpine air shiverred over the magnificent mountain ridge known as the Alps.

Now enough of this fancy writing. Now let´s see what Harri and I look like in action.

We took a tour around the city and I showed my guests what Freising was all about. Fact: Freising is all about friends, sunshine, beer, good food, beer, and ice cream and beautiful women and liqour and churches and old buildings and liqour and beer. We cooked and ate and it was nice, am I right cosmic panda?

On friday we chilled and later at night we went to the lake, it was beautiful. There were friends (from school) and sunshine and beer and LIQOUR! Then we got lost with the bikes on the way home but that was just because the earth´s magnetic field messed up my radar.
I regained control of my navigation apparatus and we found our way home.

we might be lost

On saturday we visited Munich, the world capital of beer and Oktoberfest and beer. We went shopping. Harri bought what he called "slow shoes".

slow shoes


fast shoes

Julia bought something to please tha ladie folks back in the other world (as in her mother and our grandmother). I bought a basketball.

Sunday was nice. In the evening we went to a classic consert. Rotary paid for the gig. Harri enjoyed the consert with the whole of his soul. After the torture...I mean after the enjoyment the rotarians treated us to pizza. We ate our italian poison and got LIQOUR as dessert. We drank grappa and limoncello.
I dont remember what else took place on this comfortable sunday evening....strange.

Aliens in Munich

Big pimping

aaaaaaawwwww

On monday my vistors left. We took farewell with happiness in our hearts knowing that it wouldn´t be long untill we´d be reunited again.

Special thanks to HABA and JULIA for the visit <3

Stay happy <3

Did you miss me?

Well I´m back by popular demand!

b*tch I´m fabulous

Dear loved ones, I´ve meant to write you sooner but I´ve just been busy.

Now you might be thinking...He hasn´t written anything in 7 week or so. How is he going to ever catch up and tell us what happened during this time. We´ll the truth is I´m not gonig to. I´ll just adress things quickly and go on to something of higher importance.
"Well what are you going to talk about then?"
Im going to talk about the truth.
As you guys probably know, I was on a trip around Germany for 3 weeks. I can´t possibly write to you about everything that went down. All the landscapes, the people, the sights the smells the sensations. Im not even going to try. Let´s just say that they were the best 3 weeks of my life.
At the same time they were the 3 saddest week of my life. At the same time these weeks showed me how people from all over the world can come together as one family. At the same time they made me realize how easy my life is and has been. At the same time they made me understand how the human mind is capable of anything but how it can also be your biggest obstacle. At the same time they made me realize how your background shapes you. At the same time they made me aware of the fact that when I return to Finland I might NEVER see these peopl e I´ve grown to love ever again. They also made me realize that when I´m sitting at a street Cafe in let´s say Munich or Frankfurt and I see people going about their daily chores walking past me that they all have their own stories, their own history and that I will NEVER get to know them and that´s just how it is. Hell we had a girl from Taiwan and one from Japan and one guy from Mexico who aren´t even part of our district and we all got really close and I´ll probably NEVER ever see these people again...and that´s just how it is.
As Oskar Schell said it the movie Etremely Loud and Incredibly Close:


watch it

"So many people enter and leave your life! Hundreds of thousands of people! You have to keep the door open so they can come in! But it also means you have to let them go!”

And I know most of you just come here because of the comedy factor but this blog update will and is (as you have probably already noticed one of a more serious nature). But to loosen it up here´s a picture from the Bus that we travelled with through G-many.

Don´t fall asleep on the bus...

My mind drifted, back to this sh*t

Now let´s be truthful, I think I´ve seen the truth, my truth. Because fact is, we all have a truth of our own.
It´s this year that has opened my eyes and allowed me to see the truth. Being "alone" out in the world. Facing challenges alone. And still being loved and getting meeting so many new people. Experiencing the essence of other cultures. It really showed me what the world really looks like. I see the world with new eyes. I understand the world. I see life from a different angle.

I think I know what life is all about. And that is the truth. Wherever I go I feel happy. And of course this happiness can be momentarily broken down by unforseen events but it´s always there. I see the faces of the people closest to me, the little emotions. I´m able to say that I love someone with whom I can´t verbally communicate. Someone with whom I don´t have a common language. It´s just like there´s nothing missing. Everything I need is within my reach. It´s about changing perspective...it´s so hard to put into words that I feel I´m not even scratching the surface of it here. Put in the end the truth is easy to find. You just gotta know where to look. And I feel like I´ve emerged as a better person. I´m not saying that I was some criminal scum before and by saying that I´m a better person I do not mean that I became a do-goodie or saint. I just feel like I enjoy life so much more now. I just got home from the gym for example and it was raining like hell and I didnt have a raincoat, I just had my hoodie and I was totally happy about it. I just laughed at my bad luck and biked home. Even if the sky was filled with gray clouds my mind was filled with sunshine. That there my friends is the truth.

I just want to let you know that I´m living my life, living my dream. I´m happy but still miss you all oh so much and I can´t wait to get back to see you all.
