Eurovision 2011, again live

I'm watching Eurovision songcontest. I try to write fast, beacuse they are already giving the points. My favourite is France, second Greece and third to Denmark. Sweden wasn't at all cool, Finland, well, the song was quite nice, actually, but compared with the other ones, rather boring.
At the moment France has 11 points, Finland zero, Greece 32 points, Sweden 21 points...
I'm not very interesting of this competition, I'm more sports fan, in here there's usually more bad songs than good ones, besides Finland usually loses.

Thank you Norway, 12 points for Finland! By the way, strange votes from Finland... Ireland was weird, maybe good if not watching. Iceland next, maybe we get points, Nordic co-operation. And 10 points for us! And 12 points for Denmark, what a surprise.
It' sonly fair to give points to nordic countries, eat europeans give points to themselves...

Denmark: Finland 5, 10 Sweden, Ireland 12!!!
Azerbaijan gets lost of votes, well it was lovely song. Poland, five to Finland! But we have more than France, which is a shame... Sweden next: 7 for finland, WTF?!! You deserve to lose ice hockey tomorrow... no today, it's past midnight.

Germany, 2 for Finland.

Switzerland gave Finland 5 points, thaank you! These finnish presenters are awful, they actually said that its really strange how France could like Spain's song. It was nice song, those people are just evil. You can have favourites and hate others, but NOT despise anything!!!
Now France has more points than Finland, no matter what I said before, still I'm upset...

We gave Hungary 12 points, Hungary gave us NOTHING!![cunts]. Lithuania gave pathetic 1 point. But zero to Sweden!!! Actually quite annoying the german presenter woman. I was watching the Greek song in youtube and somebody hoped they wouldn't win because they don't have money (Ireland: 3 for us) to organize competition next year. Well, guess why we sent Lordi the other year... We didn't have money either so we sent the crappiest band. How could we have known people voted us?
Sweden's fucking Justin Bieber clone gets too much points. And Estonia, our family nation gave us just 7, and fucking sweden 12! Traitor! I'm voting Azerbaijan at this point. Now Latvia, lots of points for us! ZEEEROOO! But Sweden didn't win, so ok.

We got 3rd most votes in semi-finals, but 21st in final. But we were the favourites of the European press.

Final thoughts. I would rather have Sweden win this than Ice Hockey World Championship tomorrow. But it would have been disaster if they had won both. I think it would have been cool to have been Finland and Sweden at top two...
Sweden was only 3rd, Italy with quite cool song came 2nd.
Now, tomorrow and the match of a lifetime, I want to win, I want to win, I want to win...

German music

I've found the most amazing song. Maybe I was looking for scottish music, maybe bagpipe (???) or something... not for german anyway. But what I found blew my mind. Highland Cathedral by Ulrich Roever and Michael Korb. Well, one shouldn't be surprised when thinking of Mendelsson's Fingal's cave and stuff, but strange none the less. I especially adore the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards' version. It must have syncopation at the end. And of course drums. (F. ex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRacaXCm0UE&feature=related, or slower http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oieFS785QPk&feature=related ).

I love it so much, that I want it to be played at my funeral. That's really an awful thought. I don't want it to be played at my wedding, because it's too beautiful. And so sad, so sad. I want everybody to sing this when they remember me. Not cry oh, she's dead, how sad. But oh my god, it's the most beautiful song ever! She's the song! I'm crying and smiling at the same time! She's dead but she's this song! And that syncope at the end, of course;)



A sad story from Scotland. We were waiting a bus home one night when there came a guy with a kilt. One girl asked, so the story goes, what did he have under his kilt. He showed. Unfortunately I had passed out on a bench (or was it the ground?...). The lesson of this story......... if you lie on the ground, keep your eyes open?....

East or West, which is best, wtf?

I've found another favourite song. Last year it was Paps'n Skar's La Dance and a dance edit of it. Now it's Basshunter's Angel in the Night, which is increbibly old. First of all it has awesome chords, like that small bit of I Promised myself (how many of us out here / feel the pain of losing what was once there, actually I've no idea how the lyrics go). Any way that's good, I usually always listen only the music, never lyrics. But in this Angel song even the lyrics are amazing! I wish some boy once would sing them to me! "I don't know what I'm gonna do, But I'm so crazy about you"; iik!



I've started to think the times when I've been most happy. When I listen this song, with is bass rhythm, really loud with headphones, I almoust start to cry. But there's still something missing. When I'm at a bar, with hundreds of people around me, all jumping the same beat and singing same lyrics, that's heaven. The whole humankind is one, moves as one. Suddenly you catch the eye of someone you have never seen before. You don't see what he/she looks like, you just smile and he smiles back and you are soulmates as long as you sing that song. This is why I love partying in discotecks. So unintellectuas as bass rhythm is (no intentional insult here, I just mean compared to jazz or Beethoven), it unites people like nothing else.

When you compare Asia and Europe (west), people always say that West is about individuality. Everyone wants to be their own person, no one wants to wear same cloths and everyone want to achieve things on their own merits. East in comparison is about groups, no individuality, society before individuals. It's quite strange for me to look at chinese movies like Hero, where there are thousands of soldiers all looking and behaving the same. (That's not reality, that's only my ignorance and smallminded and boredom). Why we try our best to be individuals, all alone and separate from other people, when we still love to go jump in a crowd? I try my hardest to me me, but still I'm happiest as one of that one being with thousand bodies. I really don't understand the world, but while I'm meditating it, I'll out headphones on and close my eyes to see my tribe.
