All I Ever Wanted

Tip of my non-existent hat goes to Blabbermouth.net for giving me some shameless self-promotion.

I was thinking today, after some recent conversations with friends why I've wanted to go to the States for such a long time and not put Europe (metal fans in particular wonder that) or Asia or wherever else.

Because I used to have dreams about it as a kid - I'd go to school and be searched by burly African-American guards with voices in the sub-audible range, shuffle through metal-detectors and be bumped into by jocks on the way to my locker. Then the school bully would ask for my lunch money (could've been any denomination, Seppo money all looks the same) to which I would refuse. Then he would shoot me in the kneecap and I'd wake up with a sense of accomplishment. (Why did I never bang the cheerleader though?)

That's right, I had juvenile delinquent, school going, 2nd Amendment embracing grievous injuries as wish fulfillment.

Did a fairly brisk interview with Rob from Chimaira last Thursday; got a very, VERY highly anticipated on with Andrew Craighan, the master guitarist behind My Dying Bride this Thursday. Can't wait for that one!

Oh seriously, that's just gold!

Even in your subconscious you're a failure.

Maybe you didn't bang the cheerleader because you seem to have a, "I deserve to be fucked because I'm a guy," attitude?

Just to let you know: sexism isn't as cool as it used to be. I know, who knew?

These days I just try to get to know a girl. I find it works surprisingly well than my old tactic: just waiting and expecting them to flock to me.

Now I'm a new man, and I never look back! =D

I think if Saved by the Bell et al had been set in Finland, you'd be all "America what?"

Oh snap!

Are you going to let her treat you like that?

lol, joke's on her, she thinks Lordi are cool because of me :D

No, I think Lordi are cool because they had flames shooting out of their guitars at Eurovision. Also, they're Finnish, and delightfully ironic.

As a side point, isn't it only self-promotion if you are, in fact, promoting yourself?

Actually... I think the joke's on you, Crushtor?

But she is just a woman after all, so I guess you're in the clear on this one.
