Last week I wrote lyrics and the history for my project, a concept album, pretty much all the time. It’s starting to take shape as I have the story about 75% done. The last few years of the main characters life is yet to be written though. I might publish the story here once it’s done.

Yesterday I came home from Stockholm. It was a great deal of fun there and it might have pushed me into that direction when it comes to studies. I got my hands on a bottle of Stolichnaya Vodka! Finally! It’s so smooth and got loads of character compared to other vodkas.

Over ‘n’ Out

// Shockpop

I haven’t been writing here for some time due to personal matters. Now when everything is sorted out I can right back to ya.

Started a song today, here’s are the first few lines I came up with.

Are you the refletion of me,
the mirror I couldn’t see?
Do I dare to make a move, when
this shadow may be my doom. 

This also reflects a few events from friday/saturday night that I experienced. An idea came to me before when I once again listend to The Crimson Idol, an idea of me making a concept album and I already got a couple of ideas on what I should base it on.

Gypsy to Jonathon:
“She said, do you see what I see? Be careful to choose.
Be careful what you wish for, cause it may come true.
When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool.?
Will it turn up sorrow? If it does then you lose.”

Blackie Lawless - The Gypsy meets the boy.

I can’t emphasize enough how brilliant and well done this album is! It follows a storyline through every song telling a story about the teenager Jonathon Steel. If you haven’t already listen to it do it, and do it now! Everytime I listen through the story about young Steel I get chills thorugh out my body, it’s that good.

“Long live, long live the king of mercy!”

Time to let you know about my weekend, key words are in the title. It all started on thursday when I went to bunker up with alcohol. The plan was like this

*Party at my house friday night.

*Nöjesfabriken saturday night since we were signed as VIP’s.

The party here was a great deal of fun. I started halv past two and people started to drop in around four. W.A.S.P. played throughout the night with me screaming “Easy living”. Things went a little overhand when someone started pillaging my fruitbasket and threw mashed bannans in the kitchen. Altough, in the end it was quite fun. The majority of the people left around 2-3 AM but a few stayed through out the night and we talked about anything and everything. Especially Linn that entertained me with a few stories! Dawn came and I had only sleept 30 mintues. Not the smartest move I’ve ever made. A

Anyhow.. Andreas was still around 8 AM and helped me clean up the mess. Thanks Andreas! It all went on from there, shower, cooking some food, surf around at random websites and then easter dinner over at Kristians house. We got ready, downed some whiskey when the evening came. That’s about it for saturday. We partied and by the end of saturday night I had been up for 45 hours, with only 30 minutes of sleep to fuel my fire and had been partying two times.

“ZZZ” - Daniel

As promised I’m here with another whiskey post. Almost everyone has something to say about this Lynchburg product. Some say it’s among the best things money can buy, some say it’s total crap and I don’t know any other whiskey that has been subject for this much debate. JD has a reputation of being THE rock ‘n’ roll whiskey and it’s true that rockers such as Nikki Sixx has consumed massive amounts of Jack and helped it gettin as big as it is today. To me that’s not really a bid deal if the drink I choose to drink is considered to be though or whatever.

Jack Daniel’s has maybe the most famous bottle shape and label of all whiskies in the world. A square shaped bottle with black label covered with white writing. It’s belivied that Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel was only sixteen when he became a distiller, more about the history can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Daniel’s. Jack is a Tennessee whiskey, which is almost like bourbon with one exception. It’s filtered through charcoal. To my knowledge there is only one Tennessee whiskey and that is Jack Daniel’s, but don’t quote me on that.

The liquid has a golden color amber color. JD has a mellow taste with vanilla and fruity parts. I don’t know how to describe the taste really, except special with a lot of character. It’s way smoother compared to bourbon whiskeys like Jim Beam and Four roses due to the charcoal filtering. Well that’s about it.
Rock on!

Just got back from the liquor store with two new whiskey bottles therefore two more reviews will come shortly. The whiskies are rather famous and they are:

*The infamous Tennessee whiskey Jack Daniel’s

*Tullamore Dew from Ireland. It’s promising since I’ve heard a great deal of good news about it. 

It’s no suprise to those who know me that I listen to W.A.S.P. every single day. Blackie Lawless (aka Steven Edward Duren) is one of my favourite songwriter and vocalists! I don’t reallt know why I’m writing this, maybe it’s my way to show appreciation.  Blackie has made countless unforgetable lyrics and catchy choruses and W.A.S.P. is still going strong and tour the world regulary. Can’t wait to see them again, next time will probably be at Peace and love festival, Borlänge Sweden. See you there?

First off, I want to congratulate Kristian Thorin. He’s one of my best friends and today he turns 20. Cheers! The funny thing is that we don’t know how we know each other or how our friendship started! If you have any ideas, bring em on.

Anyhow, when the topic of age and time is up.

“Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.”

Think about that next time you walk downtown, when you’re at a party or even when you go shopping. 

Bon Jovi will do a world tour this Spring / Summer. Tour dates can be found at http://bonjovi.com/bonjovi/ontheroad_tourdates.php.

Norway, Denmark and Finland all got one show each. What about Sweden!? What where they thinking? Anyhow, nearest venue is Ullavaal Stadion Oslo, Norway, that’s one option. Another one is to book hotell and tickets through an traveling agency to the show in Amsterdam. That would be absolutly brilliant. I’ll see what happens, if time and money allows me to see them, I will.
