The October Update ;)

Hello my dear readers :)

here comes the October Update. I was (again) pretty busy lately and somehow I didn't find the time to write my blog ;).

But I have good news! Being busy really paid off, since I found a new job. Well, it basically just another internship, so a limited contract until next April. But even though it's just another internship I am happy about it :) because it's a job in the book industry and even though this week is my first week at the Elina Ahlbäck Literary Agency, I can say that there are certain similarities to the music industry. So I truly believe that I will gain some important knowledge and experiences at that agency. Right now I am waiting that the printer finally does what I want him to do, so that I can finish the presentation folders for the Frankfurt Book fair where my team will go to next week.

Btw. Talking about books, I am just in the middle of a very interesting book. "Change of Heart" is really about an interesting subject. It's about religion, how different people perceive religion and why there are still so many questions that no one really can answer. The book shows several conflicts between people and religion. I think it's a book that makes you think about the whole subject again.
Not that I really believe in that what is said in the bible or other holy writings ;) but I love to think about it, because nevertheless I think those writings (just like historical documentations) can provide us with some answers why humans act like they do ;)

but now let's see whether the printer works now ;)

lots of love,

Blurish Nonsense

Hi everyone :)

yeah I am still alive after last weekend ;). The festival summer is now over and I have to say it was one of the bests I've ever had ;). Thanks to all the ones who've shared with me those precious moments!!!

Yesterday I met some very nice people (for three years they are already a part in my life) and so yesterday was just awesome (though the day didn't start too well ;)). But I think we all can agree that there is nothing better in life than the people who are truely caring about you. I think especially today's life is really busy and people tend to forget about the small things in life. So I think it is important to just relax from time to time, to take a deep breath and maybe take a look beside the road you are walking on :). Lately I've read "The Zahir" by Paulo Coelho. For me it was the first book written by him that I've read but I have to say the thoughts in this book, they are so basic but still so pure and important!!! We shouldn't take anything for granted, because things just might change over the next night or day. At this point I'd also like to mention the movie "Remember Me" wich is also a brilliant one. The movie is based on the same thought; live the moment because you never know what will happen.

I think I started to think about this again, because of two things; a) my life has been quite busy lately and I think I kinda forgot to look beside the road I am walking and b) some friends went lately through some shit, and I think some of that could be avoided when people just would start to respect each other a bit more and wouldn't take everything for granted. I know this sounds a bit like this let's-make-a-new-world-which-will-be-pink-and-no-one's-ever-sad-shit. And trust me, I know that life ain't such a pink world full of flowers where everyone loves each other. Nevertheless I think that sometimes at least those people who call themselves someone's friend should at least try to care more for each other.

well, I guess those were now just some thoughts I had to write down!!!

And here the Top5 of my momentary playlist:

1. B.o.B. feat. Hayley Williams - Airplanes
2. Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love the Way you Lie
3. TicTacToe - Spiegel
4. Irina - Et huomaa
5. Nightwish - The Pendulum and the Poet


Lots of love from Finland,
