Svenska Akademien! Again.

Can't help myself, just have to write about today.

Waking up beside M, spending the afternoon with my family (birthday party), listening to very good heavy metal music in my brother's car on our way to the carnival in town. That was just the beginning of a great day. Can you get high on music? I think I can. I jumped and danced like crazy when Svenska Akademien played and it was the best concert with them I've seen (I think this was my fourth time). Good music in combination with lyrics that catch the political part of me (which is quite big, as you know if you know me) makes me high. I must say that Svenska Akademien knows how to get a crowd started!

Now I have to go to sleep, all my energy was spent on M, family and loads of music!

In the summertime

Imagining facts

It is interesting how some claim to know things, without anything else than an opinion and imagination to base it on. In some cases the lack of facts doesn't have much actual affect but in others it has. In some cases fact free people just have to blame themselves if they don't like what they think and claim things to be.

I am so excited! I just can't hide it... ;-) In August I am going to Turkey for almost two weeks to work as a volunteer (even deputy team leader) during Amnesty's big international meeting. No salary, hard work and I couldn't be happier. Imagine 40 volunteers and 400 delegates from all over the world, all with some basic values in common, all interested in the same thing. Just the volunteers are from: Austria, Canada, Ivory Coast, France, Ghana, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mali, Mongolia, Morocco, Peru, Senegal, South Korea, Sweden, Turkey and the USA. Those who knows me also knows how happy I am to be able to do this. Meeting new people from all over the world , work for human rights, get new experiences and to travel. I just wish I could do it for a living.

Conserting

...is not a real word but what is real is all the conserts that I have been too. I am trying to enjoy life as much as possible and all the music is a part of it. Just during the last few months I have seen Dia Psalma (again), Dead By April (yummie btw), Staind and April Divine played before them. Next planned consert is with Mikael Wiehe, which Amnesty is arranging the 2 July. It is not the first time that this famous Swedish musician helps Amnesty.

Aung San Suu Kyi's birthday today

Screw midsummer. What's more important is that it is Aung San Suu Kyi's birthday today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
AUNG SAN SUU KYI,
you are not forgotten!

Although, I am going to celebrate midsummer. I am going to spend the evening with some very nice people, eating loads of food, eg. including fish, potatoes, meatballs, sausages, strawberries, ice cream and of course drinking a bunch of snaps. Hopefully in a sunny garden. Enjoying life to the fullest!

Don't forget how lucky we are to be able to do all these things and not having to be maltreated.

"Russian History Will Be Controlled"

That is what TT writes. A new state history commission will see to that no one will "diminish the country's international prestige". Medvedev is saying that he will fight attempts to hurt the Russian interest by falsifying history. The commission has 28 members, of which only TWO are academics.

I just want to remind people not to forget about Russia. Things are from good there, still. Potentially (probably!) rewrite history by having an officially accepted state history is as the human rights activist Oleg Orlov says "a typical attribute for a totalitarian state".
