There were two records I was looking forward to this year.
The Kooks new album and Alex Turners (Arctic Monkeys) sideproject along with
Miles Kane (The Rascals) The last shadow puppets.

I have to say that Kooks Konk was a disapointment.
It's not a bad record but I was expecting alot more.
Their first record was great I really loved it and played it over and over again.
Konk wasn't just that good.
There are songs that are great but they are few.
I may regret writing this later on cause I can think a record is shit at first but after a while I start to like it.
I hope that this will happen with Konk cause I'm a big fan
of The Kooks.
Best song: See the sun.

So what did I think of The age of the understatement then?
One word: Fantastic!
Alex Turner is a wonderful lyricist I have always admired Arctic Monkeys and once again Alex shows his great skills.
I didn't really have any expectations. I knew it was going to be good but didn't know it would turn out this good.
Each song is a masterpiece and although I just had the record for three days I know already this is going to be the best record of the year, all categories.
It's hard to describe what I like about it but I get this rush through my body, a rush of happiness.
Makes me wanna shut off everything else and just live for the moment and not stop listen to it, ever.
They really made it with this record big time.
It sounds a bit like a soundtrack to a movie and it could be.
Or no, I wish it was the soundtrack to my life then I could walk around with a smile on my face all the time.
For those of you who havn't got it already: buy it, download it, or whatever just get it!
Best songs: Calm like you, In my room, Standing next to me, The meeting place. Or any other track.

Today we decided to take the train into town and meet a friend of mine and her two boys 2 and 3 year old.
Leon had never met them before and he gets really shy around new people and then I mean REALLY shy.
We went to get something to eat and her boys were jumping around, talking constantly and couldn't just sit still.
Leon just sat there ate his burger and didn't say a word.
She said to her boys "Look at Leon he is so nice he eats his food and he sits at his seat"
I was thinking yeah you should see him at home.
As we said goodbye and left he started talking like never before and he didn't stop. My head is still spinning.

Later we went to the train station to meet my mum who has been away all week and Leon has missed her alot.
He has asked for her every day.
So we went back to her place and stayed there all evening.

I think I will be going to bed soon. I have to get up at 8 tomorrow as Leon is going away with my sister over the day.
In other words I have a free day! Yeeey!

The last couple of days I have been pretty down.
Again I have started to worry about the future.
As it seems now I'm without a job for the summer.
It feels like shit to be honest. But I have realized that there is nothing I can do about it.
I have done what I can and I still am looking for a job but I won't get my hopes up.
If it after all works out it will, if not I have to deal with it then.
Nothing's gonna be better with me worrying day after day.
Rather the opposite.

Yesterday I had my best day in ages. Leon was a sweetheart all day.
And in a very long time I enjoyed beeing a mum.
It's easy not to at times when all he does is screams and everything I do seems to be wrong.
But oh how lovely he was yesterday. We went and bought ice cream and sat outside and just enjoyed the beautiful weather.
It was the hottest day so far this year and today it's the same.
I wish I could go out right now but sadly I have to stay inside to do the laundry.
But after I picked up Leon at the nursery we will go out and play.
How sad isn't it to sit inside when the sun is shining outside?

Gonna finish my laundry now and then have a cup of tea before I pick up my boy.

Hope you all have a great and sunny day!

When I woke up today I had a new message on my phone asking how I was doing.
I didnt recognize the number so I sent a text and asked who it was.
I got a text back saying he was a 39 year old guy from somewhere in sweden.
I texted him back again and said that he must have gotten the wrong number.
After about 20 minutes I got another text from the guy saying he was at work and was bored so he just sent a text to a random number just for fun.
Who does that? That's just weird.
I decided not to reply his message but after an hour a got another one.
He asked if he scared me away. Ofcourse he did.
Why should I talk to someone I dont even know?
Some people are really crazy.

My weekend has been great. Friday me and my friend Jesper went to a friend of his who had a party.
I'm glad he has friends who listens to real music
I danced the night away and I had so much fun.
The morning after wasnt that fun. I woke up at 7.15 after going to bed at 3. I cant understand why I couldnt sleep longer than that.
And I wasnt at my best.
Then at 10 I had to pick my boy up cause his dad had football practise.
Brought him back to his dad around noon and then I met up Jesper again and we sat out enjoyed the great weather.
I have really missed the sun. Though it hasnt been any real winter I've been longing for summer.
Yesterday evening we sat around at his place and he had two mates there.
We chattered the night away, had some drinks and place super mario on nintendo.
I love that game makes me think of back in the days, great times!

Now I'm going to enjoy my last couple of hours of calm and then pick up Leon and I guess we gonna spend some time outside now that the sun seems to be here to stay, atleast for a couple of days.

I had a hard time falling asleep yesterday. The moon lit up the whole room. And I have no curtains, I hate sleeping in a bright room I just can't.
But around 1.30 I slowly arrived to dreamland.
And today I woke up 7.20 BEFORE the alarm! Can't belive it.
It must be a miracle.

So my plans for today:
- Finish the laundry
- Go grocery shopping
- Leave Leon at his dads place
- Take the bus into town
- Meet up a friend
- Buy a new CD player! IMPORTANT!!!
- Buy some liquor
- Tonight - party! Wooo!

If someone (I have one in mind) tries to ruin my plans I feel sorry for him.

Gonna be a great day!

Just finished watching So you think you can dance scandinavia.
All my favourite dancers are leaving.
Don't know what the judges are thinking.

Gonna watch The Office soon and then I will go to bed, have to get up at 7.30 tomorrow and do the laundry.
Or atleast I'll try. I'm not a morning person.

Tomorrow I have alot of things to do, just fun things though so I'm looking fowrard to it...yeah besides go up at 7.30.

My boss just sent me an e-mail and wrote that they probably have the people they need. Wtf?!?
First she says that they want me to work for them and now they don't.
When I first contacted her early March she was so positive and because I have worked there before it was a plus.
She told me to send her an e-mail and let her know what day I could come and see her.
So I did. The days went on and I didn't hear from her.
I e-mailed her again and told her that suggest a day we could meet up.
Didn't hear from her. Like I wrote yesterday I've tried to call her several times and sent her atleast one e-mail per week.
And now after I don't know how many weeks she says shey probably have all the people they need but she will get back to me.
Yeah sure. Heard that before.
And even if she do I won't get many hours.
I used to like her never had any problems with her before but now I don't know what to think of her anymore.

I just hope I can work for the other place if not....it's gonna be a bad summer.

My mood is a bit better today and I hope it's going to stay that way.
I have sent another e-mail to my boss today and I demand an answer.
I also called another place that needed people this summer and she said that they will call me back during this week.
I hope that I atleast will get one positive answer.

I read in the newspaper yesterday that Pete will leave the prison earlier and that Babyshambles will make it to the festival.
That's good news but as for now when I don't know if I will work or not it's uncertain if I will go there.
There's another festival in Stockholm that I'd rather go to.
My favourite band right now Band of Horses is playing there and I missed them the last time they were here.
Oh I wanna go so bad!

I've had a really bad day today.
I have alot of things on my mind right now, alot of worries.
Especially I'm worried about this summer.
Last summer was great I was working and it was a job I really enjoyed.
This summer I don't even know if I have a job or not.
I talked to my boss a couple of weeks ago and she told me they needed me.
Since then I've tried to contact her in all kind of ways. I've been calling her and e-mailed her several times but I still havn't heard from her.
Seems hopeless. It feels like she's avoiding me.
How am I gonna survive this summer if I don't have a job?
I had so many plans for the summer I was going to be working, I was going to festivals, going away with my son, see my friends.
Now I don't know what will happen.
Feels like I'm not getting anywhere at this point.

I'm not happy. My cd-player is broken. And that's bad, really bad.
No joke. I am the kind of person that buy my records instead of downloading them.
I love the feeling of having the real deal not just a file among others on the computer.
I buy several records every month it's like a high for me.
But tonight my world fell apart when i realized my cd player wasn't working.
I ended up throwing it into the wall. The thruth!
How am I going to survive? Anyone?
Ok I still have my mp3 player but that's not the same.
And I have far from all the albums on there.
It's gonna be a week full of silence.
I might as well kill myself...

I watched a movie on the tv last night.
Ali, the movie about Mohammad Ali.
I have never seen that movie before but I have to say that is was pretty good.
Will Smith played the part as Mohammad Ali.
I don't like Will Smith that much as an actor, or as anything to be honest but he played the role very well.
I've never been a fan of boxing and I don't know much about Mohammad Ali but it was really interesting to see how his life was in the early days and all the things he achieved during his career.
The movie also featured one of the greatest songs ever "A change is gonna come" by Sam Cooke, sung by Al Green in the movie.
That's a really great song and has meant alot to me over the years.
To sum it up it was a great movie and I recommend those who havn't seen it to go out and rent it.

I decided to cut my sons hair today but left a little bit and now he has a mohawk!!! Haha!
I don't know for how long though I predict that some won't like it as much as I do.
But he sure loves it!

I woke up 8.30 today and paniced!
Why havn't I heard the alarm?!?
I hurried up cause usually we get up around 7.30 cause Leon has to be at nursery by 9.
I was just going to wake Leon up as I realized...it's friday, we are free on fridays. Bummer, I could have slept even longer cause Leon didn't woke up until 9.30.
My mind isn't always my best friend.

My son had a conversation with his grandmother the other day but she wasn't paying that much attention to him as he wanted.

"You're not listening to me! I will call the ambulance now!"
(picking up his toy phone)

"Hello, is it the ambulance? No? Who is it? Aha...ok..."

(turning to his grandmother)

"Some guy is coming to get you"

I think it's hillarious! I guess you have to have been there to find it funny.
But I laughed until I almost started to cry.

I was really excited about this summer. Going to the biggest festival in Sweden for the first time.
And the main reason I was going there was to see Babyshambles.
But now Pete messed up...again.
I am actually really disapointed cause I was really looking forward to see them.
But, I'm not surprised. Babyshambles have been booked for several gigs in Sweden the past years and it has always been a no show.
They played one gig in 2006 at this particular festival but the gig wasn't a success.
Pete was such a mess that the band finally went of stage leaving him there.
This time Pete's gonna be locked up. Good job!

A friend of my sister went to Mexico a couple of weeks ago with her job.
She and a friend decided to stay a couple of days extra.
When they were going home they went to the airport and went to the check-in counter about 1 hour and 50 minutes before the plane left.
The woman that worked there told them that they wouldn't make the flight and they have to take another flight.
Usually you have to check-in 1 hour before the plane leaves but obviously they had different rules there.
They went to get something to eat and bought a sandwich, as they were going to pay the person working in the cafeteria they asked how much it was he/she said:
"Ok how much do you wanna to pay?"
They stood there a while trying to have a conversation with the person but that did't go so well so they went to another store to get a drink at least.
Same thing there.
"How much do you wanna pay?"
They finally paid for the drinks and went to get the plane ticket and guess what they asked them when they were going to pay?
"How much do you wanna pay?"

This sounds really crazy to me an airport where they don't have any prices so the customer gets to decide.
Or at least give an offer of what they want to pay for it.
Anyway the staff working there were really rude and not helpful at all.
If I ever go te mexico I will make sure I am there 3 hours before the plane leaves and I will bring my own drinks and food.

I don't know maybe I should but I think it's a bit too early yet.
I'm really tired though. My son has been driving me crazy today.
Anyone who's got a 3-year old kid knows what I'm talking about for sure.
He's been all over today and earlier tonight he fell and hit his lip at the table and he was bleeding really bad and he got so scared.
It wasn't a big cut though and the bleeding stopped really quickly.
But he got me scared also.
Now he's in bed sleeping since about an hour ago and I'm enjoying the silence.

Got my Clash t-shirt on the mail today. Loved it!
Gonna look fly as soon as the summer arrives.
I hope that won't take too long cause I'm a bit tired of this fucked up weather.

Gonna leave now and watch some telly before I'm going to bed.
Got a bunch og stuff I need to fix tomorrow.
NOT looking forward to it.

Alright my first blog post. Feels exciting.
I have had other blogs before but get bored of writing very easily.
I will try to update as often as I can though.

Nothing exciting with this post just felt like I had to write something.
And now I did!
