  • One week later

    yeah well, it hasn’t been one week yet since it’s Sunday evening and we came here on Monday evening, but it’s a bit slow at work atm, so I might as well write a couple of lines …

    So, what’s happened? Well, first of all I’m starting to get used to my work, a bit hard in the beginning, but I’m slowly but surely getting used to all the new routines here. I’ve made several new friends; I just love the way how all the season-workers takes care of each other down here, it’s like a little family…

    There is also starting to arrive more and more tourists. I spoke to a guide at Fritidsresor and she told me that all their flights from Scandinavia is fully booked so they’re actually adding additional flights to fill the demand, it’s gonna be a packed summer down here …

    Weather is still great, really hot during the day and very cold during the evenings. The last time I’ve been here as a tourist you always sweated like a pig, now I’m almost freezing … hehe, I guess I’m going to look back on this period later this summer and think, damn … I miss those cold days …

  • Beachlife

    Spend the entire day on the beach, had a really great time. I was there with Jonas and our newfound norwegian friend Birgitta. After an hour or two a little english girl came to us and started talking. It’s quite an odd feeling to speak english to a 6 year old girl, especially since she was better than us at it …

    Life is progressing superbly down here. Our boss gave us the week of to settle in and get some sun, which we’ve done, i’m all red in my face, hehe, sunlotion is for chickens …

    Got my first day at the work tomorrow, i got to be here at 10, so it’s no alcohol for me today, ‘sadly’ enough a couple of friends just stopped by and asked us if we wanted to tag along to a bar, hum, i better take it slow. It’s not a great idea to be hungover on your first day at work…

  • Napa update

    So, i’m here, finally.

    We got a great apartment with 3 rooms, which means that i have my own room, and that’s unique, for being Napa. The job is just amazing. We administrate napas largest internet cafe, it bascially means that i sit infront of a computer, chatting, playing game and when a customer arrives, i make sure that they get a computer and charge them in the end. And this i get paid todo, brilliant! …

    The weather down here is really sweet. It’s hot as hell, but there are cold winds blowing in from the sea, so you’re cold and hot … at the same time, hum. Oh well, i actually went out clubbing in jeans and a shirt last night. Previous times i’ve been here is during high season, so wearing jeans felt kinda odd. But hey, it’s ‘cold’ during the night …

    Ahhh well, time to go to the beach, no work until friday. Wohey!

  • Ayia Napa, finally!

    Ok, i’m here, let’s get ready for one hell of a summer! …

  • napa ticket!

    yeah, i know you can’t see shit. But it’s indeed my ticket to napa this summer.

    It’s going to happen, for real … T-5 days …

  • The Men Commandments

    1.) It is ok for a Man to cry under the following circumstances:
    – When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
    – The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
    – After wrecking your boss’ car.
    – One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into "The Crying Game".
    – When she is using her teeth.

    2.) Any Man who brings a camera to a bachelor party may be legally killed and eaten by his friends.

    3.) Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.

    4.) If you’ve known a Man for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her.

    5.) Moaning about the brand of free beer in a friend’s fridge is forbidden. Complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

    6.) No Man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another Man. In fact, even remembering your friend’s birthday is strictly optional.

    7.) On a road trip, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest.

    8.) When stumbling upon other men watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who’s playing.

    9.) It is permissible to drink a fruity alcopop drink only when you’re sunning on a tropical beach… and it’s delivered by a topless supermodel…and it’s free.

    10.) Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another Man in the nuts.

    11.) Unless you’re in prison, never fight naked.

    12.) Friends don’t let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

    13.) If a Man’s fly is down, that’s his problem, you didn’t see anything.

    14.) Women who claim they "love to watch sports" must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

    15.) A Man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

    16.) Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both – that’s just mean.

    17.) If you compliment a Man on his six-pack, you’d better be talking about his choice of beer.

    18.) Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she’s withholding sex pending your response.

    19.) Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another Man while lifting weights:
    – Yeah, Baby, Push it!
    – C’mon, give me one more! Harder!
    – Another set and we can hit the showers!

    20.) Never talk to a Man in a bathroom unless you are on equal footing: i.e. Both urinating, both waiting in line, etc. For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.

    21.) Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her. Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.

    22.) The morning after you and a girl who was formerly "just a friend" have carnal drunken monkey sex, the fact that you’re feeling weird and guilty is no reason not to nail her again before the discussion about what a big mistake it was.

    23.) There is no reason for guys to watch Ice Skating or Mens Gymnastics. Ever.

    24.) When you are queried by a buddy’s wife, girlfriend, mother, father, priest, shrink, dentist, accountant, or dog walker, you need not and should not provide any useful information whatsoever as to his whereabouts. You are permitted to deny his very existence.

    25.) You may exaggerate any anecdote told in a bar by 50 percent without recrimination; beyond that, anyone within earshot is allowed to call ‘BULLSHIT’.
    Exception: When trying to pick up a girl, the allowable exaggeration rate rises to 400 percent)

    26.) The minimum amount of time you have to wait for another guy who’s running late is 5 minutes. For a girl, you are required to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 babe scale.

    27.) Agreeing to distract the ugly friend of a hot babe that your buddy is trying to hook up with is your legal duty. Should you get carried away with your good deed and end up having sex with the beast, your pal is forbidden to speak of it, even at your bachelor party.

    28.) Before dating a buddy’s "ex", you are required to ask his permission and he in return is required to grant it.

    29.) The universal compensation for buddies who help you move is beer.

    30.) A Man must never own a cat or like his girlfriend’s cat.

    31.) When your girlfriend/wife expresses a desire to fix her whiney friend up with your pal, you may give her the go-ahead only if you’ll be able to warn your buddy and give him time to prepare excuses about joining the priesthood.

    32.) If a buddy is out-numbered, out-Manned, or too drunk to fight, you must jump into the fight.
    (Exception: If within the last 24 hours his actions have caused you to think, "What this guy needs is a good ass-whoopin", then you may sit back and enjoy.)

    33.) If a buddy is already singing along to a song in the car, you may not join him…too gay.

    34.) Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

    35.) When a buddy is trying to hook up, you may sabotage him only in a manner that gives you no chance of hooking up either.

    36.) Before allowing a drunken friend to cheat on his girl, you must attempt one intervention. If he is able to get on his feet, look you in the eye, and deliver a "FUCK OFF!" You are absolved of your of responsibility.

    Beautiful, just beautiful! …

  • the race for defamation

    The presidential race in America is indeed troubling. Instead of actually present the candidates political agenda they focus on defame the opponent to the furthest extent.
    ewing trough all the Bush tv-ads on http://www.georgewbush.com/tvads/ i found out that there is not a single ad that actually tell us what Bush wants, just what Kerry wants – or better put, the bad things that Kerry wants.

    I can’t for a second understand why the American public don’t stand up against things like this, a election should be about what the different political parties wants, not to drag the opponent trough the mud. In Sweden we’ve still got a fairly decent system, sure, there are some mud-throwing, but we keep that in debates, we don’t base our complete campaigns on it.

    Watched trough some commercials on John Kerrys site (http://www.johnkerry.com) as well, and sure, he actually mention some of the his parties political idea, but the core message is "This is what Bush is doing wrong".

    Troubling.

  • Mondaybar Spring Cruise

    A little tommie images …

    awww, what a great party it was, go Mondaybar!

  • Bigbrother

    Sorry non-Swedish people, the following blog-item is in Swedish only.

    —–

    Ett övergrepp är alltid ett övergrepp och får aldrig på något sätt puttas åt sidan med förbehåll att det skall vara "bus". Men i detta avseende vet vi inte vad som har hänt, det finns ingen som sett filmen från vad som igentligen hände.

    Kvällspressen smäcker upp stora framsidor om att det varit sexövergrepp i bigbrother-huset med en gurka. Alla tror att någon har använt en normalstor gurka för penetrering på en annan, undertecknad inräknad. När det sedan visar sig att det var en pfefferoni och att den lags innanför troskanten vid ryggslutet spelar inte så stor roll, minnesbilden av den stora gurkan sitter fast, och så måste det ha varit, kvällspressen skrev ju att det var så?

    Låt oss för nöjes skull vända på det. Sean ligger där utdeckad och Olga smyger in med en pfefferoni, skojar till det och placerar den i ryggslutet på Sean. Hade någon brytt sig? Hade någon ens höjt på ögenen? Tyvärr tror jag inte det, för att folk ser en skilland på skämt riktade mot kvinnor och mot män.

    Kontentan är att Olga blev ledsen, antingen av "övergreppet / buset" eller kanske av det faktum att hon eventuellt kissat i sängen. Jean uppfattar detta och ber om ursäkt, skämtet gick för långt och han ångrar det.

    Exakt där vore sagan vara slut, men tyvärr har vi en sorgligt sensationell skallerpress som gärna trycker upp en mental bild av en våldtäkt med en gurka i nyllet på oss.

  • It’s official!

    Yes, today Jezper confirmed that i actually did change haircut and that it doesn’t look like my old one

    "What’s the big deal?", you might think. Well, I haven’t changed haircut since 97 or something like that. It might be a small step for man, but it’s a giant leap for little Tommie …
