It's my sister's birthday today. And, yes, it's also Mother's Day.
My sister was born on Mother's Day. I don't know how often it happens that her birthday is celebrated by all the moms out there. Let's celebrate it now, then. And, yes, the Sun was shining when my sister arrived this world - just like today. So, pretty much nothing has happened ever since.
I got my first camera when I was like eight years old. In this photo my sister is showing off her stuff, you know, toys, Christmas presents, cartoons, drawings... She liked to have her room unorganized.
This was (nearly) my look for the gig that I went to on Saturday.
By "nearly" I mean that there were some changes - I wasn't too happy with my hair and so on...
We went to see this band called Juustopäät. It was so cool - seeing them for the very first time. I mean I was first introduced to Juustopäät in, like, 1995. But since I spent my childhood, um, in the middle of nowhere I never saw them playing. Kinda. Sorta.
I feel so sad for not having a proper camera back then... Back when my hair looked... um... well...
Of course it was, like, totally different back then. We didn't have digital cameras or smartphones to take photos... I d_i_d have a camera, one that needed like a suitcase to be carried around. Yeah, those were the times. Back then. And I'm in the middle.
I think I look dapper in this photo.
I'm wearing a suit and a hat and a bowtie. And I have a cut in my finger.
It was in the elementary school. One day we were asked to dress up like back in the days.
I might have been one of the very few who wore anything special for the day. I can still remember the feeling that I had... a little proud for having the guts to do something different.
It's Thursday again.
This Thursday I want to take you to the streets of Munich, Germany. We are leaving for clubbing and I definitely look wasted. I don't remember when this shot was taken, maybe five, six or seven years ago. But I think I still look the same when wasted.
I went to a hockey game a couple of days back. It was almost as I remembered: freezing fingers, sitting on totally uncomfortable seats, and not having a cold beer between rounds. But this time it w_a_s a bit different: it was Ilves boys playing for the finals. There was so much speed and skill on the ice that I wouldn't have known the difference if it had been two league teams competing with each other.
First goal was seen something like 40 seconds after the game really started. 0-1.
The game ended 2-4, and HPK is now playing in the finals.
I'm not too skilled with posting a video here. I do hope you are able to watch it. And hear people talking about the game next to me. Thanks guys!
My so called business look. I mean now that I'm back in the business meeting customers and potential investors I should, for at least, try and look all sharp and ready to go. Well, that might not be the case, yet... I took this photo yesterday just to have some proof. I had just finished brushing my teeth, and my colleague sent me an sms "am already here waiting". F**k! He was six minutes early and... here's the result.
Yeah, baby, yeah!
I saw the very first bare legs today. And it's still like winter here in Finland. Or is it?
Since the Sun was shining warmly enough in the morning I decided to go for my spring coat. It wasn't my brightest idea but some how I survived - here where polar bears walk on the streets and the sky isn't like anywhere else.
This is my spring look, kinda. And hell with it! I was tired as hell and just wanted to have a photo of my cool (the coolest!) coat. It's Maloja and I luv it!
I was studying in Uppsala, Sweden, back in 2002. Seeing Ash at Göta Källare in Stockholm was a must. I was all prepared: tickets, my friend, my camera with an empty roll of film... So, when the gig started I was all ready. But suddenly my Ixus died. It didn't work, it just was n_o_t working. So I've got only a handful of photos from that gig which pretty much sucks.
But, later we got to meet the band. And had some drinks. And I guess that the, um, after-party was at Gondolen. But any way, I had so much fun.
I chose here two songs from my favorite Irish band (and, yeah, I know U2 is also local): Petrol (released as the second single from their 1994 album Trailer) and Oh Yeah (taken from their album 1977 released in 1996).
