The year is almost over and I thought I could revise some things that have happened to me during 2008.

First of all... In March, April and May I made my biggest mistake so far, and almost repeated it in autumn, not that badly though. In March I also realized, what reality actually was, and I started feeling a lot better and my life became much easier, thanks to one single photo (OHIRE = OMG he is real-experience).
During that time I also started this blog, which is my second blog in English. And so far the best. This is actually the best blog I've ever had.

In June I saw the Scorpions live for the second time in my life. And James Kottak communicated with me. June the 7th, 2008 is easily the best day of my life (among one other day). That day I also got Sebastian Bach's autograph, he was sitting right in front of me, so close that I was afraid I was going to hit him in the head. I also shook hands with his bass player, Rob de Luca.
In June I also had my birthday and after that I haven't felt so young anymore. I guess this is the time when you actually start getting older.

In July I saw the Scorpions live again, and blacked out in the front row. A couple of men dragged me away from the tent, but I managed to get back where I was in the front row. I was also a VIP. That day I was supposed to make one of my dreams come true, but an important person I would have needed wasn't there, so I failed with my mission.

The rest of the year has been full of different kind of things and feelings, people have been nice and mean, things have happened and it has been boring, too. In November a long-time bully of mine apologized me for the first time after throwing a piece of pie into my hair, but I think it didn't make much of a change.

And of course my English has gotten a lot better again, I can use it more and more.

2008 hasn't obviously been the easiest year in any way, but I think it took me a lot closer to what actually is my life.

Didn't I learn to use earplugs after June 7th? Seems like I didn't. Or then I'm just too stupid or stubborn. Anyway, my ears are ringing again and I understand very well if they don't recover anymore, it would probably be the right thing to happen to me. This is Karma again.
Anyway, thanks for the great show in my hometown, Remu & Hurriganes!

Guess what! I just saw Mark Knopfler live. I probably wouldn't even need to say this, but he was awesome, like always. The concert lasted over two hours. Knopfler mostly played songs from his solo career, but he also played some Dire-classics (Romeo and Juliet, Sultans of Swing, Telegraph Road, Brothers in Arms, So Far Away) with his band. I would have loved to hear Money for Nothing and I was pretty surprised he didn't play it. Anyway, I loved everything about it, and it feels like I would have dreamed it all. Well, Mark Knopfler has always had that kind of an effect on me.

And......is Guy Fletcher really learning ukulele now...?

And about the picture... It's taken by me, so please stay one's hand with copy-paste!

Confirmed, confirmed, CONFIRMED! Wohoo, finally! I have been waiting for this. Now I can chill, 'cause I know I'm going to see that band (which I love the most) again. Though I got these awful and very stressing nightmares almost every night before the concert, but it's all worth it and it's familiar to me already. I still remember the waiting from last year, when the Scorpions played at Miljoonarock 2008 in Tuuri.

Anyway, the point of this post is that I'm very happy because of the confirmation of the tour date.
There are going to be many other good bands and artists in Sauna Open Air, like Stone and Sebastian Bach for example and I'd love to see them live, too, but the most important thing is the Scorpions and I'm there only to see them. Again. Ah.

Other events I'm attending are;
Mark Knopfler @ Hartwall Arena 25.4.2008 (so it's very soon and I'm excited!)
Bon Jovi @ Olympiastadion 16.6.2008 (right after my birthday...)
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band @ Olympiastadion 11.7.2008

This is going to be the best concert summer (and spring) ever.

And Nicolas...
