happy birthday to me

Well, just woke up. I celebrated already yesterday by listening the most sad songs in Finland. The concert took place in Manala (Underworld) bar. Quite a feeling when hundreds of rednecks are stuck in a cool looking club and talking while one of the best opera singers in Finland is singing the most sad song in Finland: Peltoniemen Hintriikan surumarssi. Which lyrics are made by Reino Helismaa, the song is about dying of agrary culture and the melody is traditional from Kaustinen, which is one of the oldest and most active "spelman" village in Finland. In fact, this song hasn't always been sad, it has been played in weddings as a march.

So, I'm a bit disappointed for people's capability to take a look for what they're doing. Not saying, I'm the one who does so, because in the end, WE all are gonna die.

I'm eating my day cake, its made by Fazer Bakeries, Its nice raspberry filling and fresh raspberries on top --- delicious. Hopefully this is just a beginning of a great day: I should find a music store which sells Joose Keskitalo's cd. As a present for myself!
