– What are you in for?

– Drunk and disorderly. Or, as I call it, Tuesday.

Watching my favourite shows on Youtube. Hot in Cleveland is one, Two and a Half men is another. Just easy listening for my “blackdrop”. 

I had some florist work today. Hence I did not go to island but stayed on mainland and not-celebrated the midsummers festives. I don’t really bother with the nationwide or even international get drunk fast and yell all night long parties. All our neighbours do it, polish, swedes, finns, probably also danes. Previously pagan countries of which only the most northern kept their senses and fouhgt off the rapist, killers “christians” bringing us freedom. Reading a really good book on this, take on this forced on “freedom” in deep Finland, in the very end of the world. Action takes place in Swedish/ Finnish forests and villages right by the Russian border, in 1700s (my guess as the people have no surnames yet and there is big winterwar going on and russians were occupying great bit of Sweden and Finland, again). The common name for russians is ryssä. That today is very negative word used for russians. Ryssä in general is nasty bastard coming to kill locals, rape and steal all they can. And they always tried to bring culture to all of their neighbours. The other set of people in the book are brainwashed christians who sane locals expelled from the villages. The pastor, one of the main characters, ran to bog and hid in the proper house that one pagan built years ago. The pagan man still lives in the bog and brings, to the pastors surprise, food to the doorstep. Everyone rejecting christianity was considered pagans, and therefore bad. Yet this so called pagan was just a guy (and we are just people) who does not believe things that he has not seen with his eyes. They also have common sense. And yes, we still do. It is very good book on brainwashed idiots claiming they know it all and they have guts telling stupid things out loud. You know, the more stupid you are, the louder you are. Simple rules of life. Ever wondered why Japanese businessmen are quiet and only the youngest talks? The smartest and seniors are silent. So the book goes about very north of Sweden/ Karjala/ Lapland region with harshest of weathers, where even in summer is no summer really. Millions of mosquitoes, thousands of lakes, you need to hunt and fish to survive the winters. Good book, highly recommend. When reading you have to do some timetravelling and switch your brain to some peasant/ wildlife/ no electricity era of 18 century. And the times when 45 years old people were considered oldies, rarity. Really captivating. Look it up in your language, if possible: author is Maria Turtschaninoff, name of the book would be something like “Heritage land”. All of it is intriguing and interesting because her surname is russian…. Yes, I am immediately alert and worried when I hear anything related to russians or jews. The two eternal victims.

Midsummers night is today. Had my own private fire set up already two days ago. At my cottage. Burning for all evening and as it never went dark I got bored and went to sleep at midnight or so. So from today on the days are getting shorter and nights getting longer. Bummer. In very northern bit of Sweden and Finland there is just about now the eternal day going on. Which means the sun never sets for about 3 months or so. Imagine not being able to sleep as it’s too damn light as the sun is right where it is in midday!! I was once there in summer, for mere 4 or 5 days. I tell you, this so called vacation wore me out and I could not ge back to normal for two weeks. Worse than jetlag. Way worse! No wonder they are considered the biggest alcoholics right there. And we know the reason! The winters in these corners of the world are literally the same! The constant darkness for 5 months, only daylight mere 3-4 hours and constant cold that needs everyone wear expensive wintergear. I mean, the only good thing with that winter is pure white nature and nordic lights. And possibly a lot of sex. That’s only valid if you can fight the urge to drink Koskenkorva or Smirnoff or any other vodka and are still able to find reasonable “mate” to do it with. Obviously reckless drinking makes even most vital people a tad asocial. You can check the pics of Finnish queue in internet :). When sober they are really keeping their personal space holy. I suppose most nordic people are similar….

So midsummers done, now is time to work again. Nothing changes there. Stale. Is that the word for no going back nor forward. Had a half day of doing florist work today, tomorrow on field again. Boring as fuck but a must. Wonder where this “boring as fuck” came from :)…. does that mean some time ago, somewhere someone had incredibly boring session with someone in bed (or some other location) that he or she had to toot out loud for everyone to know? My theory on being boring has been true so far. My theory is only boring people have boring time. Ah, maybe that’s just me being able to entertain myself noticing funny odd stuff or just yapping about something so long it gets hilarious. 

Well, off to bed now. To wait for sandman to come. The one from Metallica :). Hush little baby, don’t say a word!

You know the new valid measurement of powerty is: Third world country is where people are plucking their own brows. I must add I have always, my whole life, done this plucking myself. Hence, I am poor as fuck 🙂

Stay cool and hot!
