happy birthday mom!

Yesterday was my moms birthday! Happy birthday mom, I love you!
I know you'll like the present :D

eskilstuna

The apartment we wished to have, has now been reserved for us and that is good news! Now we know that we will have a place to stay at when we get to Sweden and we just have to get some money-issues straight and then our future is totally problem-free! I really really have to get accepted to the program I applied for at the university, otherwise it would suck. I need the money from CSN, badly.

We have been browsing around on Ikea's homepage and Blocket alot to try to find everything we want and we have found some really nice things.. What we still need to decide on is a TV. Damn things are so expensive.. Luckily we get a really nice kitchen table from my mom and we also bring alot of things from Antonias mom, we really save alot that way and we get nice things. We are gona have a super-sexy lamp! :) Money problems suck by the way.. Especially since I feel that Im not contributing at all.. Antonia is the one using money all the time and her mom helps so much with the finances even though shes having trouble herself.. So sweet of her, I just wish I could provide more and that my parents would help as much as Tonis mom (if she would help less I would also not feel weird about it :P), I am alittle afraid that money will create a weird stiffness between our families, that one feel that the other is in debt or vice versa, I dont think it will happen, I really dont, but I've seen it before, relationships between relatives or close friends shatter because of money.

My sister, Ias and my dad went to take a look at the apartment we have reserved, thanks alot guys! And we really like it. Thanks to the pictures they took for us and thanks to the overview-picture of the apartment Antonia has managed to play around in photoshop and we have a nice little overview of how its gona be when we get all our stuff in there!



We probably wont make our tetris-wall, and our original plans have all changed due to the color-scheme in the pictures, we are now going for more wood and less black, I like it.

We want so much and we plan so much, but in the end we have to remember that we are students and we are poor and we are not gona stay there for so many years, so we have to hold back on our dreams for just alittle longer.. We looked up how much we will earn every month when we are done with our studies and I was like "Wtf? Is it really possible? Can I have that much money? Nooo.... Whaaat? REALLY?!" with a huge smile on my face :D When we are done with school, we are gona have a really nice life. I want to be able to take really good care of our kids and I also want us to take real good care of our parents and show them how much we appreciate all they have done for us.

piratebay

I guess everyone knows Piratebay, but maybe everyone havent heard this yet:

"STOCKHOLM (AP) — A Swedish court has convicted four men linked to the popular Pirate Bay file-sharing site of breaking Sweden's copyright law.

The Stockholm district court sentenced Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij, and Carl Lundstrom to one year each in prison.

They were also ordered to pay damages of 30 million kronor ($3.6 million) to a series of entertainment companies, including Warner Bros, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI and Columbia Pictures."

There is alot of speculation going on about whether something will really happen or not, but whether it will or not, I think it is a move in the right direction.. I guess alot of ppl go like "WTF?" now, its not like I am the kind of guy who pays for every movie I watch but I do have alot of respect for the artists and people who work hard to produce things for our entertainment. I have alot of friends who are very talented in music and/or game development, piracy ruins their business bigtime! And I have had dreams myself to develop a game with my friends and have it released and get famous and rich and whatnot, file-sharing kind of fucks that up.

Im not knowing alot, but I think the companies who distribute the media gets a huge part of the money the song/movie/game sell for and the creators are left with only alittle, I think thats sad and wrong. I also belive that prices would drop ALOT if piracy could be stopped, and dont you remember when you were young and you went with your parents to a video-store and you could pick out a movie to rent? Isnt it something amazing about that? Gathering the family or some friends and rent a movie! Cosy.

"But its not like its gona make a difference if one person stop file-sharing or not so lets all enjoy free movies while we can!" - I agree, tbh, sadly. But movies and games I really like I also want to own an original copy of. TRUE STORY!

Sooo.. if you dont know what to get for me christmas, heres a hint lol xD

work

This week at work has been different from my regular day, its been a vacation-group and the days have been shorter. It has been really nice, we spent alot of time outside in the sun and we were all in a really good mood. One day I went down in the basement to clean some of the outdoor-toys and write stuff down on them so they dont get mixed up, that was dirtywork, I only had very cold water and it was alot of really dirty things to clean. Sweeping the floor in there was horrible, I felt like I needed a gas-mask to be able to survive in there with all the sand floating around in the room.. It was okay though, I was in a good mood, but then BAM I hit my head really fucking hard on a sharp damn edge. That hurt. Aeew it hurt alot, for a few days. But its all okay now :)

Since I was finished earlier than normal everyday, Antonia picked me up everyday and that was amazing. I love to hug her and sit down in the car and tell her about my day right after I finish work. The buss-rides and all the waiting is exhausting (and waste of time!). One day on the way home, we stopped by at a little place and rented a little rowing-boat, totally impulsive, it was greeeeat! The weather was perfect and it was really nice to take her out on a little boat-ride. It made me feel very happy. I love Antonia so incredibly much and doing things like this with her makes me so content.

babysitting

Yesterday Antonia and I went to Ray's place to watch his kids for the evening.
I have never really got to know the kids untill yesterday, I didnt even know who was who (there were two girls (third kid on the way! Gratz!)) before.
We spent five hours or so with those kids and it was totally great, I love those kids, so cute and EXTREMELY smart! Its crazy how good a 6 year old kid can be at memory and how curious they can be about all kind of cool stuff :)
It was a really nice evening, I think I enjoyed it more than Antonia, she is always very afraid to screw up or do something wrong, she is working so hard to please everyone around her and she sometimes forget how to relax and enjoy the moment. She is scared of letting people down, and she take everyones word before her own intuition, but I definitely think we will be great parents together, I just need to remember to remind her to be happy!

fast facts

Its getting late, I want to go to bed soon so I wont be all dead tomorrow at work (and because I want to hug Toni while she reads for me ;)), so I'll end this quickly now.

- We watched a movie together with JT and Katrin, The Wrestler, it was an OK movie, not bad but not really great either.

- For some reason I started showing Antonia "Expedition Robinson Sverige", she liked it so we decided to watch the American version of it, "Survivor", and we are really hooked now! Its really great actually. It reminds me sooo much of the Swedish version.

- We had a little easter-dinner with Tonis mom, Petra, JT and Katrin, it was a very pleasent time! We painted eggs and stuff, JT did a really cool one. As always, JT owns!

- My dad is selling his Paladin at Celesta: "Trading 110rp (99dist) on Celesta for 1.5kk on Celesta".

- We are reading Order of the Phoenix at the moment, it is veeeery exciting! My favourite in the whole Harry Potter series!

- Today Millow paid a visit and we watched the first episode of Castle together and it was really damn good! I am looking forward to see more of it! The main character from FireFly plays the mainrole here too! I have a crush on him.

- Ru Sharp ftw.

- My mate Low-B have released a new album! Some of the songs are really nice, my favourite atm is "This Journey". Check them out, all songs are available for download for free.
