Where were you when Finland won its first Ice Hockey World Championship?

16 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was Sunday afternoon and later that day me and my classmates were taking the boat to Sweden to go play basketball against schools in Södertälje. The games were held in Sweden and Swedes had been cocky enough to believe they would take it all. They had even made a theme song "Den glider in" and the music video featured swedish hockey players. Finland had played pretty well and we reached the final. And played Sweden. Ville Peltonen had a hat trick and Timo Jutila had a goal. I can't remember who scored for Sweden but it's not important as we won 4-1 and the nation went nuts! I was able to listen to the national anthem after the win and then it was time to head to school. The bus was waiting to take us to the boat to Sweden. Nothing sweeter than to be on a cruise to Sweden the same day Finland beats Sweden for the first championship. And as a basketball class we were sports nuts to the core! We made a sign "Den Glider In, Finland 4- Sweden 1" and put it on our cabin door. We sang Den glider in every chance we got, especially when we saw swedes...It was an awesome night and great day in Finnish sporting history. And tomorrow, once again, Finland and Sweden will go head to head in the final. And we will win our second goal medal! And maybe, just maybe the lines mate of Ville Peltonen from this season, Mikael Granlund will have a hat trick in the final as well!

We, as a nation, do not go on strike or march on the streets for better pay or to stop the war or for any other major stuff like the French do or celebrate on the streets when bin Laden is killed like the americans did but tomorrow if Finland wins, we will party like there's no tomorrow! And on Monday, employers should expect low attendance...lots of headaches, lots of flues, lots of "epidemics" going on...

And according to a lot of people who have been wrong so many times before, Finland is also going to win the Eurovision song contest tonight! And Manchester United just won their 19th English premier league title so this WILL be a great sporting weekend!

Later! GO Leijonat!!!

DEN GLIDER IN!!!

This I DON'T need to process! Finland vs. Sweden in Ice Hockey World Championships final 2011!

Processing

I've been back from my trip for few days now and I'm still processing. While I'm in the process of processing, I will process my feelings through randomness and songs. So bare with me while I process.

It's great I'm so pretty cuz I ain't smart!

I guess it says all about how excited I am about this trip when I don't even do the immigration paperwork online before flight. I've tried so hard not to think about what this trip means that I have forgone the necessary steps to enter the country. Not so smart when there's probably hightened security measures in place in USA.

And I'm becoming one of those people that I absolutely hate...the ones who don't do what needs to be done beforehand in order for the check in to be smooth and quick. Took me about 20 minutes at the check in because I had to do my immigration application online. Thankfully there wasn't a really long line and I had my computer with me so I could do it right then and there. And the lady at the counter was really nice and helpful. Universe clearly showed me my place because at the bus station in Forssa this older dude started talking to me while I looked like I wasn't in the mood to talk and was listening my iPod and started asking me all these personal questions and telling his life story. And I was thinking "Do I look like I fucking wanna be talked to?" and "Do I look like a fucking tour guide?" after he asked me if the exchange was at the Ikea junction and if the fair covered the exchange as well. So there, the Universe told me my place and now the balance has been restored. I will try to not to curse people in my head and maybe the rest of this trip will run smoothly. Can't wait to explain my f-up at the immigration though. Will be awesomely good times.

I will now finish my cider and then go to the gate. You all have yourselves an awesome rest of the week.

Laterz.

It's here

(Click on ->) World peace is finally here. Has everyone heard that Osama bin Laden has been killed? Obama took a page out of republicans election book and did the one thing that ensures his re-election; put the focus on national security and kill the national enemy #1! Although it might just come back to bite him in the ass if all the islam jihadists decided to revenge his death. This should make for a pleasant immigration and customs experience! I'm only flying to NYC on Wednesday...

Can you spell good times?
