In need of insanity!

About Me

I'm currently 28, living in southern Sweden.
Likes: Hanging out with friends, bicycling, taking photos, playing drums, playing guitar (what little I can), playing pc games or regular table games, drinking the occasional bottle of mead, or U.K. ale such as Black Douglas or Hobgoblin, eating good food (wild boar is mighty tasty), and listening to hard rock/heavy metal.
Dislikes: Work, getting up early in the morning, and the word "must".
Favourite quotes
"No good deed goes unpunished."
"Failing to prepare, is prepairing to fail."
"Withdraw your forces, or perish, heathen swine!" (a diplomatic line from Sid Meier's Colonization)
"What we're dealing with here, is a complete laugh at respect for the law." (Jackie Gleason as Buford T. Justice)
"If we moved in next door, your lawn would die." (Lemmy of Motörhead)
A taste of my mind
* Like a local market place, only it's not local, and a whole lot bigger than a market place?
* As normal as normal can be, without being normal in the least.
* It doesn't need to be flawless to be perfect.

Sometimes I wish...

Sometimes I wish, I was not of this world. Sometimes I wish, I was far, far away, in a distant land and world. A place where life would hold never ending adventures. A place, where one could journey t...

Just finished my last ale.

Dang! Nothing left. My last ale, a Samuel Adams Boston Ale, gone. Oh well, it was grand while it lasted. Too bad there's nothing going on at the moment. I'd love to be partying with some metal friends...

The rare addition.

Never been much for doing this type of thing. I could never keep up with this on a regular basis. I'd get bored in no time trying to come up with something every day. I love freedom; to do whatever I ...

Good thing the weather was good yesterday!

Yesterday was a really good day. The weather was great, and I had a really great time. Today is nothing but rain, and gray skies. I think I better just sit in today. Might be the best thing too, since...
