Hearing The Wrong Discussion

Or the right.

Don’t say everything you think. Keep some thoughts to yourself. You’ll never know who’s sitting next you.
I might cost you a job, a chance to start something new, and at worst, you’ll continue doing that and no one will tell you shut up. And I hope someone does.

It goes like this: we had interviews for job applicants earlier this week. The office was flooding with people in the hall ways, walking around or sitting and waiting for their turn. Here and there I could hear distant murmur, while packing up my last tasks of the day.

I left the office at nightfall, since the darkness still arrives pretty early this time of year, and headed to the train stop to commute to home.

I saw a group of young women (or, girls, if you prefer) standing there, waiting for the train, too.

An Update

Just wanted to post this and say that we’ve made it.

The Inauguration

The day has finally come.

The day, that so many of us have waited for. Last year, before there was president elected, we hoped for this day. We hoped for a change. Hope and Change. The two most bright subjects in President Obama’s speeches.

Today the Change arrived.

This day shall be marked to the Chronicles of Time as a historic day, a day when African-American man became the President of United States of America.

Photographer Mareen Fischinger

MareenMareen Fischinger’s self-portrait.

Mareen Fischinger is excellent photographer from Düsseldorf, Germany. I’ve been following her blog for about a year now where she posts her everyday pictures along the professional samples of her work.

Photography isn’t really my trade, although I haven’t done it so much. But I can see when beautiful photography is born, and it is truly born with Mareen. She somehow manages speak with her imagery, always some new point, that I couldn’t have seen myself, I believe.

The Art Of Will Barras

One form of art that I haven’t explored as much I’ve wanted to, is painting. I’ve never painted anything myself seriously and for many years it didn’t seem so interesting to me. Mostly because there weren’t no painters in Finland, that I would have been interested in. The common paintings were just pictures of summer fields and meadows, oceans and skys. Not bad subjects, but I wanted something more… controversial. Graphic.

Nowadays I’ve seen many amazing painters, and they just keep coming. With the internet and all, the possibilities of finding interesting art are endless. You never know, what might come up there. Today, I wanted to show some art of amazing painter, Will Barras.

The New U2 Album Cover by Hiroshi Sugimoto

 ”No Line On The Horizon” will be twelfth studio album of this legendary Irish band. The album is confirmed to be released around 2 - 3 of March, depending on where you live.

I haven’t heard a single song out of the album, I don’t event know are there any leaked or officially released song. However, I am really looking forward in hearing this album. I was kind of “late-bloomer” when it comes to music of U2, but it has been in my record shelf ever since.

Pretty Bad News

I think the news suck these days. Mostly. When I’m writing this I’m at work, at office. I just went to get some macchiato (because I’m too cool for regular coffee) and I saw a newspaper lying on the table. Once again, it’s filled with articles on murders, torture, collapsing economy and accidents with some celebrity gossip. 

When I was younger my grandparents told me to watch news everyday, preferably several times in a day. They told me that this would expand my general knowledge on various things and latest world events. Today, I couldn’t disagree more.

Just Played My First Live Show

Last weekend we gathered to a restaurant with our staff to have a Christmas Party. I had really great time there, food was great, people were great, the whole night was great! I did my first live performance ever with our band, Evora, too. Boy, was I nervous. 

The nervousness struck just at the moment we had to start our first song. In the words, the worst time to freeze. Nobody else seemed to notice my freezing, just the too loud guitar in the beginning. I was kind of hoping for it to be something like inviting friends to rehearsal room and playing for them. Something relaxed and intimate. I guess the latter became true, but the show wasn’t that relaxed. For me, at least.

Secret Tunnel In Central London For Sale

For sale: a tunnel complex in Central London. This a article that came across my eyes when reading the New York Times the other day. For 7.4 million dollars you can buy this convenient piece of real estate to your portfolio. Return on investment could be below the market average as the ground above has lost it’s market value. However, it’s a one special thing for sale, the kind of you don’t bump into after every corner.

Former tenants include for example Britain Secret Service. It’s been unused for years, forgetten beneath the vivid city streets, but is now offered for sale by the Britain’s largest company, BT Group.
