Europe has spoken!

Good bye never-ending flow of Euro-Ballads, Euro-Twists, Euro-Etno, Euro-Bitches, Euro-Violins, Euro-Accordions and also the German Euro-Country. Monster Rock from Finnish Lapland Rules!

Finland made a strong statement regarding the Eurovision SongTorture and with their first win ever, shook the very grounds of the whole idiocracy. About time! Goddes help what crap was again shown tonite to the zillions. Bad voices, ugly costumes, totally disastrous songs - but a lot of legs.

And then comes Lordi!

The band has commented their participation to Eurovision being a total joke and having very little - if any at all - appreciation to it. And people from so many countries loved it. If this does not change the style of the "competition" to a bit more fun direction, then the whole Euro-shit should be buried.

Let´s see if the competition next year will be arranged in Lapland by the lakes. That would be cool. The worse time with mosquito's but with the midnight sun...

Lordi Rules!

C(o)untless pitch-dark 20-hour-nights during winter, insomnia caused by 20-hour-white-days during summer, salty and fatty diet and extreme amounts of Vodka and standard way of living in Finnish Lapland truly breeds curious creatures! Lordi to be one of them.

This morning my colleagues were grinning about Finland´s this year contribution to the European SongTorture Show referring to a Lappish Monster Rock Band resembling Klingons!? I was out like a mitten from this story and had to check it out. And my fears materialized - it is true! During my protected years in Amsterdam, I had been saved for this phenomena. But now I have to face it - Europe WILL be scared!!!

LOL and KRÄK! These Guys are truly Oudda-Dis-Wööld! Hilariously Ridiculous and Deliciously Tasteless wearing some pretty imaginative stage-costumes. Serious Guys - a group of innocent youngsters having a bit of fun only. Öo)

This Saturday it truly pays to be by the TV and enjoy the pyrotechnics and prosthetics of this band. People in Finland have even contributed privately to ensure that the amount of fire, sparks and explosions during Lordi´s short appearance on stage keeps the Greek Firefighters alert.

Since the last entry some water has been flowing through the river Don

Queen´s Day was two weeks ago and went very traditionally hopping around the city and drinking filthy expensive beer from small plastic cups. Somehow the days got mixed up and after ringing the wrong doorbell first, found myself outside a friends house wondering where the party is? After calling him realized I was one day late. Whoops - sorry...

But managed to get to India during these last weeks. One day in Bang-a-Lot makes a Hard Man humble! So nice to see the country and enjoy the spicy foods - never to forget the friendliness of local colleagues. And if somebody around Amsterdam whines about traffic jams, I'll tell them about the local horrors in India. Imagine a road of two lanes being filled from ditch to ditch with all 2 and 4 wheelers/footers including mopeds, pedestrians, cows, buses, lorries, cars, bicycles and any other means of transport - all still moving ahead. "Crazy" is an understatement!

Some local prices: 10 packs of Marlboro: 16 Euro - lunch at the local cantina including coffee and water: 0,50 Euro - good quality tailored cotton shirt: 15 Euro - approximate monthly income locally as a clerk in a shop: 220 Euro - a huge bag of dried chillies: 0,25 Euro - big apartment in the central area: 200K Euro

Been tired and angry lately and had a fit of rage last night. Munchie suggested therapy. What do you think?
