It's a beautiful day
It is.
And I'm listening to some nice music and scanning some boring bills.
It's an interesting time I'm living in.
Having a wife, a son and a baby on the way.
Doing civil-service resting my brains for 13 months, although there are only about 5 left, of which I'm trying to get rid of two, getting some vacation during the summer.
I have a job to go back to as soon as I finnish my service, so no panic about that.
Thinking about and planning to buy a home and a car as soon as I start working.
Things are interesting at the moment and I like it.
Tomorrow I will blog about The Faraday Institiute for Science and Religion, just because it turned out to be far more interesting that I thought it was from the beginning.
Well, now I've scanned all the bills.
Now I'll go to the bathroom and then off for lunch.
Have to see if I can find that other civil-service dude that they got here and check if he wants to join me for lunch, he's a really cool dude, he is.
And this weekend we'll be heading north to Oulu (one of the fastest growing towns in Finland) and attend my cousins wedding.
That'll be fun, haven't been up there in ages.
So, take care for now, bye bye.

Individualism
Read the following definition of individualism, that was copy-pasted from Wikipedia, and tell me if you can see any threats to society if people apply an individualistic lifestyle.
Okthanxbai.
Individualism is a term used to describe a moral, political, or social outlook that stresses human independence and the importance of individual self-reliance and liberty. Individualists promote the exercise of individual goals and desires. They oppose most external interference with an individual's choices - whether by society, the state, or any other group or institution. Individualism is therefore opposed to holism, collectivism, fascism, democracy, communism, communalism, statism, totalitarianism, and communitarianism, which stress that communal, group, societal, racial, or national goals should take priority over individual goals. Individualism is also opposed to the view that tradition, religion, or any other form of external moral standard should be used to limit an individual's choice of actions.
Individualism has a controversial relationship with egoism (selfishness). While some individualists are egoists, they usually do not argue that selfishness is inherently good. Rather, some argue that individuals are not duty-bound to any socially-imposed morality and that individuals should be free to choose to be selfish (or to choose any other lifestyle) if they so desire. Others still, such as Ayn Rand, argue against moral relativism and argue selfishness is a virtue.

Thoughts From a Janitor's Booth on a Saturday
So, here I am.
Sitting here all alone.
Writing a blogpost.
I woke up too late.
Went in the shower.
Ran to work only to find out that the first event on the schedule was not happening and I had gotten myself all sweaty for nothing.
But I was in a good mood none the less.
At 10 I got myself some breakfast from the local coffee shop.
I like the local coffee shop.
There's a dude there that loves metal and has played football with Sepultura.
I didn't see him, but from the metal blasting out of the kitchen I took a guess that he is working today.
The lady at the cash-register didn't look too comfortable with the metal though.
But I got my sandwich and coffee.
Then I watched a couple of episodes of The IT Crowd, which is a brilliant TV-show.
After that I took a round helping out some people and checking classrooms.
It was during this round that I saw the poster about The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion.
http://www.st-edmunds.cam.ac.uk/faraday/
They have some great papers that you can read online and a great media section that is worth checking out.
At about 12 I ate my lunch, and then I ventured down a floor and bought myself a Mountain Dew so that I'll get motivated enough to be able to write the PM for work that I promised to write.
I also had to put on some Living Sacrifice to boost the motivation.
Now I need to write the PM.
It needs to be finished today and now and here.
And I have other stuff to do here as well today.
So I really need to get busy.
Bleurgh.
Have a great day all of you, God bless and such stuff.
Oh, and have a look at Ida's blog, there are some nice pictures of Aron there.
And while writing about Aron I have to mention that we have another baby on the way, for those of you who didn't know.
We are trying to find some names for it right now.
It's pretty interesting because the experience is so much different this time than last time.
This time it's like so much more natural.
The baby sure kicks alot, so it's a lively fellow we have in there. :)

I Ate At MacDonalds Today
Just had to try out an experiment.
For the price of one BigMac Meal you get 4 cheeseburgers and 1 small fries, and a drink.
My friend took a BigMac Meal, and I took the 4 cheeseburgers and 1 small fries.
And a drink.
After we finished my friend was still hungry, while I was on the verge of puking and still had to stuff one unopened cheeseburger in my pocket.
Excellent experiment.
Another thing that everyone needs to try is to walk around in cloth-shops with a cheeseburger in your pocket.
That's a weird feeling I've never experienced before.

The (internet) War on Scientology
Anyone following this event?
It all started with this:
Then it continued.
Try to google Anynomous, Scientology, Demonstrations and so on...
It's rather interesting.

Tell you what
Why do I need Jesus?
Cause I'm not strong enough to live without Him.
No one is.
And those who harden their hearts until they can survive have already lost.

I shaved off my side-burns...
...last week.
Here's a picture of me and Aron just before I did it.
Now, I really have no idea what to blog about.
That's why nothing has happened here in a while.
Maybe I should post some pics of Vaasa during winter?
Maybe Jake would enjoy them...
No inspiration.
Then it's a good thing that nice music exists.
Like http://www.myspace.com/livingsacrifice
Ta ta, take care dudes and dudettes. :)
