Poses.

I do this every time. Every single time Wenger decides it´s a good idea to bring Nicklas Bendtner in around the 80th minute I curse him. I did just that today. And most of the times I do that, the Dane actually manages to show he can play football. Just like today. Netting the only goal and securing the important 3 points. I couldn´t believe it. Well, maybe Nicky isn´t a complete disaster most of the time. As for the game, boring boring boring Arsenal once again. Ade lost the goal of his life once again and RVP hit the motherfucking post. Once again. I don´t understand why Wenger stubbornly makes Vela and Ramsey sit on the bench. When Vela can in today and took the wing allowing Nasri to play in the center, the game flowed immediately better than it had until that substitution. And Ramsey fights for every ball, doesn´t give up the second the might not get it. I do have to admit that I was slightly afraid to see Denilson back on the pitch, but he wasn´t as bad as I feared. Actually, he is improving.

Also, I wasn´t going to watch any other football today, but then I read Teemu Pukki is once again travelling with Sevilla and I just have to watch Sevilla hopefully beat Deportivo. And I guess when I´m at it, I might as well watch if Valencia can keep their fit from last weekend and beat Villarreal. I just hope my laptop doens´t get all locked like it did last weekend in the middle of the Real Madrid-Villarreal match. Not nice at all.

I have some photos today. And they are all old :D. No, I was watching a documentary about Annie Leibovitz and she was, I don´t know, choosing pictures for her book I guess and then I decided to go through all the photos I´ve taken (which is almost 3000 during the last 2 and a half years) and pick up my favourites. And there are just a handful of pics I´m actually happy with. Okay, some of them are the kind of pictures that the quality can be absolutely horrible, but the feeling on the photo is amazing. But I´m not posting those. These are the ones I liked enough to post here:

Taken in Berlin on April 2007. I have "photoshopped" it slightly, I made it look antique because I think it suits this one. I love it how there are people but you can´t actually see them and how there is nothing on the front.


Also taken in Berlin on April 2007. I think I have one other photo of the Siegessäule, but I didn´t photo it much and even this one is from behind. I remeber it was closer to the evening when we went there and like the sky in this one very much. And I usually am a huge fan of details, but with this one, I love it how you really can´t see any other detail but the angel.


Taken on the graveyeard of this town, but I can´t date this one right now. Photoshopped too, i wanted it to look like the photo was really old. And I happen to think it quite works. I find the sky somehow metaphorical on this picture, but you can jugde it yourself.

This one here was taken in Tallinn December 2007. This is also my favourite picture of all the photos I have taken. It isn´t anyhow special and it doesn´t have a building or sight one should see when travelling in Tallinn, but once again it´s the people and maybe the composition. For a person who hates picturing people, I seem to like them quite lot on my pics. Hmm.


Simply the best concert photo I´ve managed to snatch. Just the band´s name and drums and keyboard visible and it´s awfully dark to be a great photo, but I think it gives something of the feeling of waiting. And the little colour it has is amazing, I think.

Funny how one of my favourite photos is from Italy, a country I didn´t like that much. This is from Florence, July 2008. A plaza where we sat and ate more than once. Funny thing is also, I can´t even tell why I like this so much. It has nothing special and you couldn´t even tell the city just by looking at it, but I like it.

More photos can be found on my Flickr´s, links to both of them are on the side panel. The travel version is a lot better organized and has better pictures, but I remember the "normal" one has some good shots too. Feel free to take a look and you know I would love to hear some feedback and maybe tips on how to take more interesting and better photos.

Until I finish, I have to share a couple of my favourite tracks right now. I just fell in love with Muse again. Thoughts of a dying atheist is the song that I´ve been listening to like a mad person. I can´t explain why I like it so much, maybe it has something to do with the music and not with the lyrics for once. Of course, Matt Bellamy is an awesome singer... And another. Light On by David Cook. Yes, the American Idol winner David Cook that I happened to like when watching the competition. The song is pure basic-American-radio-rock with listener friendly lyrics, but I like it more than I probably should. I still think Cook is an excellent singer and have been listening to this tune for a while. Also, I´m thinking of purchasing the new Kanye West album. I have none of his previous records, but Love lockdown is such a great song. What have you been into lately?

I´m off to get prepared for the Deportivo-Sevilla match. Can´t wait for Serie A tomorrow. I´m so watching Juventus-Siena anxioulsy waiting to see wether Buffon makes a full return and in the evening Roma clashes with AC Milan. Maybe a certain soccer star actually gets some time on the pitch. The other option for tomorrow night would be to watch Barcelona smash poor Osasuna. Until I have something interesting to write about. Take care!

// Aww, Sevilla, thank you for making my night awesome. 1-3 at Riazor. With 10 men. I call that magnicifent playing, you? Also, Jesus Navas was so great today. Is it wrong for me to want Valencia lose today? Because I quite like them, hmm. Also, could Real Madrid get back on the losing form, because that would keep the Andalucians second. But then again, tomorrow is Raúl´s 500th match at La Liga and it would be kind of cool to see him score. Damn, why can´t I just like one team and hate the rest of them?
