It's one of these days again, when everything seems kind of pointless. Even my damn internet connection seems to have a bad day, for some curious reason my browser doesn't want to load any images, which kind of pisses me off, because of course today my favorite forum, the message board at my school's student organisation StudOrg (in swedish) is full of funny (and some useful) pictures to brighten up this godforgotten dark November evening and I can't see them. Doggonit!

I do have some happier news to you as well... The always so brilliant Sexual Kenny & His Marvellous Pets is to do a show at The Student Organisation @ the University Of Helsinki on (if I remember correctly) December, 5th - so all open minded rockers who don't mind hearing a little funk every now and then should definitely mark the day in their agendas. I'm sure more information will be posted on the Sexual Kenny Website. I don't currently know anything about the gig, so don't ask me - check the website above. Well, I do know something, and that is that there'll be somewhat familiar looking creatures on the stage... :)

Alter egos rule!

I also perfected Agathon's Legacy's newest song Breaking my heart on guitar yesterday, so I'm sure we'll play it on our next gig - which by the way will take place in December. Place and time not yet decided, but you can look forward to seeing us on stage somewhere around the capital areas in Finland by mid-December.

I added the lyrics to Breaking my heart for you to review. You can check them out here.

NB!
If anyone has pictures of Agathon's Legacy of any kind - live photos, promo shots etc, you are kindly asked to MAIL THEM to the webmaster.

That's all folks! Have a good/bad day!

Forever delayed - that's the way it goes... :)
Well, at last the official Agathon's Legacy website is on-line, now it's just a question of adding pictures and running some minor updates every now and then here and there. I won't keep on nagging about these pages, since the updates will be covered in the News section. So I welcome you on a journey to my personal life - this is my (unfrequently) updated diary and shalt thus remain.

This autumn, like every autumn for that matter, has again been a constant struggle against the dark forces, that paralyze and poison a musician's mind. Actually I felt so cobainish (anyone remembers the first words on Kurt Cobain's suicide note - "I haven't felt the excitement towards anything or anyone lately"), that I remained indoors, refusing to even get dressed after waking up in the afternoon. Spending my days watching TV and surfing on pointless websites, going to bed at 07:00 a.m. and waking up at 09:00 p.m, all the time consuming scaring amounts of beer and cigarettes. Anyone who ever has had a brain understands that life just can't go on like that. I still believe that the worst thing in me dwelling in my own misery (or personal hell, call it what you want), was that I had absolutely no contact to the outside world in a normal sense. No phone calls, no messages and no encounters with any living creatures.

So finally yesterday, I decided NOT to go to sleep at 07:00 a.m, as I would have "normally" done, but to stay awake and enjoy my first hygienic experience in over 48 hrs - it's amazing how a shower can feel good! :)
After having stared at the piles of dirty plates, cups, glasses and beer pints (not to mention the over 24 empty cans of beer), that had been lying there for over a week and started to smell - if possible - even more funny than I did, I got pissed off. Seriously pissed off.

So I put on some "happy-happy" Stevie Wonder and got on the job! Actually the dishes didn't even take 30 minutes of my so called precious time and after a total of 1,5 hrs I had cleaned the whole flat (some 50 square meters in alles), including vaccuuming, washing the floors, dusting and a lot of re-placing stuff around the two rooms and kitchen.

I guess the bottom line is that I'm satisfied with myself for the first time in a very, very long time. I even caught myself whistling and smiling today, so at the present time things look quite ok. But it's a long time until spring, so there's absolutely no sense in getting excited - yet. I'm also petit à petit recovering from a freaking incredible flue that has been going on and off for more than a month already. So I'm not in the shape for singing or performing yet, but I think I'll survive anyhow.

Alright, I'll leave you for now but all you depressed people out there - hang in and DON'T let yourselves stay alone for too long a time - it won't make it better. Trust me - I know! :)
