2006.

It was a good year! As Aparatczyk said: seems it was a good year since we're writing about it (we're still alive). Objectively, I have nothing to complain about.

· I got my first real job. It is a best possible start for a trainee...what else can a girlie want?
· I spent some time in Finland, twice last year.

Summer visit was really nice. I met some great people, learned some stuff and...felt that severe back pain for the first time. I complained about that too much already, so I will not do it again. What else?
· I got rejected for a scolarship for Madrid. No one likes to be rejected but to be honest, it made my life easier at that moment becuase I already started working. Better luck next time, although I doubt that I will apply again.
· In october I stopped training which was sad for me but hopefully nothing that can't be fixed.
· In an emotional way, it was pretty calm. No turbulences. I had plenty in '05 so I needed rest. Now I just go with the flow.
· One of the best things that happened last year was Martin. Doggy was born 16th of October and spiced up the end of the year.
· No one close to me was sick or seriously sad, so life is good.

I regret:
· neglecting some people and losing touch with some close friends. That's one of the things I have to change this year and make up for the lost time.
· That I did not finnish tango course. I went for almost 3 months but I did not have an official partner. Respect to the guys who were my partners occasionally but it was a sad story for both parts...If I dance with someone else's wooden feet, I would prefer if I chose them myself
· that I did not go out more and did not see some concerts

I should:
· lose some weight or at least not gain any
· prepare myself for some serious studying for the state exam (the thought of it makes me sick, I forgot how it's done, studying that is)
· make more effort in learning finnish no matter how hard it is. I should avoid situations when my teacher tells me: „you must have been very tired when you were writing homework!“
· make some decisions about my life, try to be more responsible
· be considerate and tolerant, as they say: live and let live. Especially towards ignorant people and rednecks.
· do everything in my power to go back to training and that means doing exercises at home everyday, no matter how tired or lazy I am.
· stop smoking (I do not really want to). I cut down the amount though, I do not smoke at work and I never smoke at home, so it's „amateur smoking“ really (Je je Jorma tell yourself that, you will feel better!)
· write letters and send them by snail mail and birthday cards aswell. My bearded friend often sends me cards, regardless of the fact that he lives in the same street. Respect!
· read more books and see some plays (old or new).
· go to bed earlier since I have to wake up early and then I am half dead all day.
· be more tolerant towards the elderly becuase I live with grandpa. I should calmly answer questions for 2nd, 3rd or 4th time without mentioning that I was alread asked that. Also, I should calmly explain how certain „machines“ work (I already wrote about that) without going crazy. I am aware of the fact that in certain age you forget stuff, especially if you were never good with „machines and devices“ but I should remember that at the moment when I lose my nerves.

Parhain terveisin to all of you!!!

check this travolta out, you will not be sorry!!!

CHRISTMAS AND AIR GUITAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
May the fleas of a thousand egyptian camels infect the ass of the person who fucks up your year and may his arms grow too short to scratch!

This was my 1st Christmas when I had a decent amount of my own money to spend on people dear to me. I was doing some serious spending and it was worth it. I went to that CD shop in Preradovićeva to buy some CDs for my father. I was really in the hurry and I went to ask for some recomondations from the really big guy at the counter. I told him about what my father likes and suddenly he had many suggestions. By that time I figured that I will not be able to leave that place any time soon. The guy played some CDs, he was telling me about how he was planning some sindicate field trip just to go to London to buy some record he was offering me. He was air-guitaring and telling me how he cannot believe how one can make music that great. I was so in the hurry but I did not want to interrupt his moment! I bought 2 CDs and left the building before he played another...I had fun. All in all, dad was satisfied with „my“ choice.
Tell me people, are you satisfied with your Christmas gifts this year?

Now that I mentioned air guitaring I must write something about it. I always made fun of those older metal fans who come to clubs, take a beer and do some serious air-guitaring without noticing anyone around them. I call that passion and devotion. For those who are not imformed - an Air guitar is the imaginary instrument used when pretending to play guitar. Playing an air guitar consists of an exaggerated strumming motion and is often coupled with loud singing or lip-synching. Air guitar is generally used in the imaginary simulation of loud electric guitar music, especially rock, heavy metal, and so on. Although it is acceptable to play air guitar to acoustic songs, it is an act traditionally left to rock. Headbanging is often used in conjunction with an air guitar. There are real contest in air guitaring skills such as the air guitar world championship. Also, air guitaring has reacher a whole new level with innovation. Some time ago I red somewhere that some guys from Helsinki University of Technology came up with so called Virtual Air Guitar. They say it is a new way of experiencing music. It is an instrument literally played in the air: no strings, no keys, just you, free to perform. Anyone can play air guitar, so everyone is able to play the Virtual Air Guitar as well. All you need is a pair of orange gloves and a rock'n'roll attitude. The goal is to provide people without musical skills the chance to experience the fun of playing and creating music, and to expand their concept of listening music to experiencing it. Playing the Air Guitar is simple. You pull on a pair of orange gloves, press the start pedal, and rock on. Take a playing pose as if you were holding an imaginary guitar - left hand on the guitar's neck, and right hand near your hip. You will see yourself on a TV screen, with your orange gloves highlighted.
If you do not have anything better to do, put some gloves on, play some happy tunes and go crazy!
