Thought Of The Day

Words can be beautiful,

but like a flower without a scent

they are not necessarily sincere.

A flower with a scent offers

what its beauty promises.

Your words should be convincing

in the same way.

Flowers, verses 51 and 52

Re-Inventing Myself - The New Look!

Okay darlings! Here is my new look with both, before and after pictures. I really like what Teemu did with my hair this time, so big hand to him! Somehow life doesn't seem so gloomy anymore - funny (but nice) how changing a hairstyle can make or break the day, not to mention lifting ones spirit up!

Thought of the day

It's been a long time, so here it comes:

Vain sinä itse pystyt hallitsemaan itsesi.
Mutta kun sen olet tehnyt,
se on harvinainen siunaus.
Itse, säe 160
---
Only you can govern yourself.
But once you have done it,
it is a rare blessing.
Self, verse 160

The Inevitable & The strange

So, the task to go through all of these boxes has begun! Wish me luck! I haven't actually managed to throw much of the stuff away...which is kind of worrying me since that was the task! While I was going through these boxes full of memories, I noticed this one box with a strange etiquette. It's quite bizarre! First of all, there is a pig with a hand print on his ass - pig that likes to get spanked, eh? - and then the second thing... why is the sun looking at the pig's ass and smiling while doing so???!!! Ok, so maybe I have a very dirty mind but it felt very strange. I guess the box is some meat company's box - but still what is the purpose of this image? What it tries to communicate? S&M? Just thought it was really funny, so had to post it here!!!

Artist's Word Play!

I just found this! I drew this when I was five. I remember I embarrased my parents when I did it. You see there is two words that are almost the same but have a completely different meaning: kypärä (helmet) and kyrpä (slang word for penis). So imagine a little five-year old boy who runs to the living room - of course while we have guests - all excited he holds up a drawing in his hand and screams from the top of his lounges "Look! He has a kyrpä on his head!!!". Later I lost my interest in the helmets and cars, and discovered something completely different, hahaha!

About Being Stupid!

The Only Thing More Stupid Than Vain Pride,

Is Being Stupid In Itself.

Thought of the Day

Be your worst critic,

but recognize your successes too.

Protect and educate yourself,

this way you will truly live happily.

Sacret Human, verses 379 & 380

--- --- ---

Ole pahin arvostelijasi,

mutta tunnusta myös onnistumisesi.

Suojele ja kouluta itseäsi,

näin elät todella onnellisena.

Pyhä Ihminen, säkeet 379 & 380

Coffeeeeee!

"The best way to go through life pleasantly is to drink good coffee. And if you can´t get it, then you should at least try to behave as cheerful as if you just had one."

-JONATHAN SWIFT-

Image of the Day

Oh, this is still funny. I just had to send it here!

Something To Remember

A Day Without Laughing, Is A Day That Is Wasted.
NICOLAS-SÉBASTIEN DE CHAMFORT

True Freedom

Here we stand
wanting more
when in fact
we have it all

Here we stand
while others are denied
all the things
we simply take for granted

Here we stand
in the luxury of being free
while others still fight
to express what they need

Here we stand
without being able to fully understand
what its like
to be controlled by someone else

We are the children
Of true freedom?
