What would "18 and life" be without Ricky?

A new YouTube channel was created just one week ago. Well, a lot of channels were created then I guess. But there is one that has captured my attention to the fullest. I didn't even have to try to like it. I just did. This channel is actually a part of us all. We are all moved by music, it's like it speaks to us. Well, thanks to this channel you can now literally here your music speak to you. Beautiful and strong melodies is what most often catches our attention to begin with when we hear a new song, but it's the lyrics that bounds us forever. What would "I will always love you" be without Whitney's heartbreaking confession that she doesn't feel good enough? What would "18 and life" be without Ricky?

Amp Rock TV gets this and has therefore created something called THE WORDS as a way of making lyrics even more powerful. They have asked some artists to turn it into what it really is.... poetry! At this moment there are four videos up from Black Veil Brides, Marilyn Manson, Korn and My Chemical Romance where the singers reads the lyrics. It's beautiful, it's heartbreaking, it's real...
I'm not particulary interested in Manson's music but jeez, his lyrics are brilliant! The same with My Chemical Romance... "When we were young we used to say that you only hear the music when your hearts begins to break". Since this new project has become such a huge success I am hoping that Amp Rock TV will put up more videos like this in the near future. Keep a lookout!

We have nowhere to go
No one to wish us well
A cry to find our home
Our stories they will tell

Take joy in who you are
We know our wings are flawed
We are the Fallen Angels

Weekend with Missy and Viper

Viper came from Germany to visit me last weekend! Unfortunately I had an assignment from school that I had to write which took up a lot of time. But we managed to squeeze in a bunch of fun too! We took it pretty easy on the first day though. The weather sucked so I just gave her a quick tour around town before having a yummy lunch and watching "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"!

The next day we met up with Axel to go to Avesta. Our friend Jesper (JB) had arranged a rock evening with his own band Inverted and also Sister. The crowd was of course not your typical rock audience but they seemed to enjoy the performances! It was Inverted's first gig so the guys were a bit nervous but I think they did a good job. Considering that they have already been offered to play gigs where they are going to be paid and also studio time, I'd say the night was a major success for them! I wish them all the best.
It was the first time I saw Sister live and I was hardly disapointed. If they can make a small crowd like that go wild, then I can't wait to see what they will end up doing at Skogsröjet. They are true entertainers from the bottom of their hearts.

Me and Viper finished off the weekend with seeing Titanic 3D at the cinema. We actually saw it on April 15th, the night when Titanic sank 100 years ago. I have got to say that James Cameron and his team had made an excellent job turning the movie into 3D. I saw details that I have never seen before. Things from the real disaster that I had no idea was in the movie because it just hasn't been obvious until now! The sun was still up when the movie was finished so we ended up doing a photoshoot! Viper has a great camera and even though I love photographing, it's boring to always be the one who takes pictures but almost never gets to be in them. No one else has the patience with it like I do, so when I look like crap in a picture they refuse to take another one. Thx a lot...! ;) But me and Viper improvised a bit and had fun doing it, so the pictures turned out great.

I said good bye to Viper at 6 am the next day because I had to leave early for pre-school. She went to Stockholm and I went to pre-school where all of the kids ran up and hugged me like always. LOVE.

It's not a way to live

I invited Sofie over for dinner one night, we watched a movie and just had a blast. Watching me make dinner was apparently entertainment enough, since Sofie was pretty much lying on the floor laughing, haha! She's just the greatest and I have invited her over for dinner again on Valborg.

Just two nights before that I had been to Borlänge. It was one of those spontaneous things that I do these days because I am tired of being a boring tight ass who needs at least one days notice before going somewhere. I am single and don't have any major commitments, so why make a big deal out of it? My parents went to visit my sister that whole weekend so I was by myself and had nothing to do. Casablanca had a gig in Borlänge and the matter of fact is that I like Casablanca, so there wasn't much to talk about. I booked a hotel and hopped up on the first best train. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a wonderful evening. This is what I live for these days. Pleasant evenings with good friends and great music. Some people think I am crazy for sitting two hours on a train and paying 700 SEK just for an event like this. But money isn't important to me, although the experiences are! Every night is not a success. Sometimes I come home to Västerås feeling a bit bummed that the trip didn't turn out the way I had planned, but I keep on doing it. Because it's worth it! I have always been cautious person who has stayed on the safe side, just in case I get hurt. But I don't see any reason for doing that anymore. It's not a way to live.

Deathroll casino

Private Line is a Finnish rock band that has been active ever since the mid 90's. Even though I like a couple of their songs, I've never been a huge fan. There are just too many other bands out there to keep track of. If I am going to add a new one to my list, then it has to be darn special. Well, Private Line is now special...

Five days ago, on Friday the 13th, their new video for the song "Deathroll casino" was released. It has it all. The sound, the melody, the circus, the joker... They deserve more fans. That's all I have to say.

Ant invasion and weekend off

I didn't think we would have this problem until August, which is the time of the year when all insects usually invades our house. As an animal lover it's not okay to kill any kind of animals, the only exception is of course when they become a big problem. I have had a lot of patience but now it has unfortunately gone too far. We have a major ant invasion in the kitchen which my dad is going to take care of sometime this week. I have already had to kill several of them. I truly hate it. Can't remember when I killed an insect the last time but it was years ago (if you don't count the injured ones). Poor little ants...

My parents are visiting my sister this weekend. Her birthday is in a week so my parents brought along some presents to her from me! I think I know her style pretty well so I bought her two sweaters and one tank top. And what do you know, she had seen one of those sweaters in a store not long ago and had wanted to buy it. Well now she don't have to!

I can't wait for tonight when my friend Sofie is coming over for dinner! I rarely get to invite my friends over like this, so I am seizing the opportunity. It's not that my parents mind that I have friends over, it's just kind of hard to have a private dinner and a movie night with them running around. It was fine when I was 13 but it's only annoying when you're 21, haha...
