I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I’m an open-minded, friendly and positive evil young man living in Helsinki, Finland.

I am very intelligent, talented, handsome, well spoken and charismatic, and well aware of the fact that people who really are these things don’t need to point it out themselves. Ouch.

I love music, although I am not always sure that music loves me back. Anyway, I play keyboards in two bands, Dawn Delayed (alternative rock) and Chaosweaver (dark metal). So they’re pretty different from each other, which is something I really enjoy. Still, I am thinking about doing something completely different from my current bands, and some day I will, I am convinced.

I like reading books (both fiction and non-fiction) and watching movies, even if I don’t have time to do that a lot right now. Actually, that’s a pretty lame excuse, everybody says they don’t have “enough time” but you can always find time if you really want to. After all, I had time to write this crap you are reading right now.

I have some pretty strong thoughts about different things and life in general. I am a bit of an armchair philosopher. As for the book “how to live your life, according to Tapio”, you have to wait for a while. Sorry.

My Interests

music, movies, literature, writing, daydreaming

I'd like to meet:

Please, contact me immediately if you are:
- willing to give me good analogue synthesizers
- willing to give me large amounts of money for minimum effort
- King Diamond
- Greg Dulli
- Audrey Hepburn of the 21st century
- none of the above, but still believe that for some unexplainable reason we must meet
If you want to add me feel free but please write me first (at least if you don’t know me in real life), I am not into collecting a huge list of “friends” whom I have no actual contact with.Oh, and if you want to contact me by e-mail, I use gmail.com, the part before the at sign being tapsu.ahola. If that doesn't work, you'll have to resort to smoke signals.

My Blog

nothing that special, really

Well, it's been quite a while since my last blog, which in my mind serves as a justifiable reason to write another one, even though I have nothing to say. But do I ever? Anyway, this year has been ...

Night by Candlelight

Well not really a Night by Candlelight, but it's the title of a great song by The Afghan Whigs. Although it must be said that mood-wise this really is a night by candlelight. Because right now I am fe...
