I am here for Friends

About Me

I am: A Hedonist, enjoying life's carnal pleasures that will deliver me to an early grave.
Big on whiskey. Cigars as well. Fine foods and drinks.
Make your opinion of me, those that don't know me yet.
Oh, and on a more blunt note, I am sick and fucking tired of mediocre shitty bands tooting their own horn and sending me friend invites without even checking my profile or list of interests. If you play glam, I do not care. For fuck's sake.

My Interests

Music in all its apparent forms, soft woodland ambience. Creativity, expressing myself with musical instruments.
Beer bashes, keggers, viking feasts, you name it, I'm up for it. All the more if there's whiskey too.
Bodymodification in all its forms. Piercings, tattoos, scarification work, extensive(sc. hardcore modding).
Reading about serial killers, the paranormal, the occult and the grim. Studying said topics further. I would like to see inside a serial killer's head. Preferably Albert Fish or Carl Panzram, these modern killers aren't shit.
Getting a job in the music industry someday, be it technician or producer or roadie.

I'd like to meet:

More of my old friends, good and proper and more often. Besides that, I don't really know.

Music:

Blues(acoustic rattly dobro-stuff appeals to me the most), slide guitar(blues and otherwise), northern folk music, classic rock(Led Zep, Procol Harum etc), southern rock, black/folk/death/heavy metal etc.
Practically all kinds of metal. A huge number of other bands and identifiable genres.
Easier to say what I don't listen to really. Even country, I am a recent convert.

Movies:

Braveheart, Shawshank Redemption, George Romero's The Dead-trilogy, National Lampoon movies, all Kevin Smith's movies, and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some, but that's how that is.

Television:

Weeds, Californication, South Park, OZ, Family Guy, American Dad, documentaries about criminal activity or serial killers.

Books:

The Poetic Eddas, Kalevala, Viking Sagas(Particularly The Saga of Grettir the Strong, and Sturlungasaga), LOTR, books about paranormal activity, criminal activity, criminal psychology and serial killers

Heroes:

Aside from perhaps my father, I have none. No real life heroes anyway.

My Blog

Summer's halfway over.

I'm feeling tired physically and mentally. Also it would seem my salary is not adequate in terms of funding my hobby. Drinking, that is. Oh, and music. I'm thinking of buying a new guitar. The more mo...

Tired, first paid day behind me.

Well, no bitchy old Mikko today. Work was okay actually, and I found out I'm going to get more cash out of this venture than I thought. At least I'm doing something worthy with my time, although I lik...

Vacation is drawing to an end.

Well the headline said it all. It's the last day of my vacation and tomorrow I'm going to be starting my 7 weeks of minimum wage summer job hell-madness. Metal working in a big industrial hall in 30 d...

Hand-written entries from the wilderness.

Indeed, I have returned from the four-day stint to North-eastern Finland. Our log cabin will ready pretty soon. Anyway, the following entries are copies from my hand-written journal. Translated to eng...

General memoirs.

Today's my first actual day of my ten-day vacation, and this is just about the only day I'll be able to do things in peace and quiet. From tomorrow onwards it's going to be fucking hectic until next t...

Tired but happy.

I've got a ten-day vacation ahead of me before I have to get back to the grind. I'm facing a long bus trip today but I don't mind since I'll be having a pint or two (or three, knowing myself) when it'...

Mondays are not worth their spot in the calendar.

The headline says it all. My head aches, my back hurts, and today was hell at work. I can't figure what kind of thoughts go around my bosses heads, they seem unable to give a clear answer to anything....

Well, I was bored...

...So I started a MySpace of my own. Seems it's trendier by the minute to have an MS-page. I normally never go for trends, but hey. I got to cave in sometimes.I don't really have anything to say. I'm ...
