Just checking in to say that I'm not dead. I know i haven't made a new post for a couple of day. But fear not! I'm in the process of working on one now! It's just that it took a little longer than I would have imagined. It's currently 1:40 am and I really have to get some sleep. And I can't tell too much about the post I'm working on without giving anything away. But I can say that it involves a lot of badly taken pictures of me. So tune in tomorrow to see one of my most narcissistic, yet informative, blog post yet!
Be well.

Smoking outside
So i was trying to make a new post. But this day has been incredibly boring since I spent most of it lying in a couch trying to find something interesting to do on my laptop. Internet was way more fun back in the days when you connected with a modem. You always knew exactly what sites to visit and what to do. But now, being used to the internet, it's getting harder and harder to find something interesting. It's all the same. You visit some news sites, read the latest articles on cracked, watch a couple of youtube videos and drop a visit on facebook. And then you're done. The internet were better back when you could store hundreds of pixelated porn pictures on your secret 3.5" floppy disk. Marked "Games".
Anywho, since staring on an empty "New post" window for half an hour didn't really help, I decided to go out and take a cigarette. And I must say, smoking in the middle of the night (0:45 am here right now) is so frigging relaxing. You sit outside, alone, light your fag with a match, and just relax. The only sound you hear is from distant cars and the wind blowing in the trees. This must be my favorite part of the day. Everything is just so... calm. There's no worries, nothing to be done, nothing at all except you and your cigarette. I tried to think about something to write about, I really did, but my mind kept drifting away. I noticed things like how the city lights colors the cloudy sky orange. How beautiful the dark orange glow is when it's slowly turning the tobacco into ashes. How the smoke make tiny, twirling, strings in the air. How the air had the smell of rain in it. And before I knew it, my smoke break was over. And I hadn't found a single thing to write about. But I did find that even the smallest things in our life can be beautiful.
Well, I'm going to sleep now. Might have something fun too write about tomorrow. But then again, I might not. Be well.

Q&A - The Answers!
Well, since I didn't want to make a big blog due to typing on a bloody laptop, I decided that I'd do a Q&A. What i failed to remember is that i get like a bazillion comments per post. So... yeah. I better get started if I want to be done sometime this night. Naa, I jest, I love doing this :D
Ok, lets line them up.
Jay Smith asks:
What are you going to school for?
We'll that's a very broad question. Or perhaps not. I'm taking economics I am. I like to think that it's because I want a degree. But the fact that I'm way too lazy for a real job so school seems like a good substitute.
ThingsYouWant ask:
Question about Sweeden: How much does the average education costs over there? (University) Thanks!
This was an easy one. It's free. It used to be free for foreigners as well, but they changed that last year. Still free for us sweds tho. In fact, the state actually pays us to study. It's not much but still, it's something.
FeurFenix asks:
Sorry to hear about moving back, I hope stuff works out. Since others already asked about what you are studying and the cost of college- What is the best part of living in Sweden? and the worst?
This must be one of the harder questions. The best thing about Sweden is probably the cheap internet. The only country, in the world, that got better internet connectivity than us is the South Koreans. We also got a pretty decent welfare system. It's really frigging hard to become truly homeless in Sweden. I remember quote saying something like "Sweden takes care of their citizens from the cradle to the grave." The worst thing about Sweden is the insanely high taxes and the general socialistic thinking. We're as close you can get to a working communist society without everything going to hell. Oh, and people are reeeaaalllyyyy unsocial on buses. Totally freak out if you sit next to them. It's crazy.
Allebanna asks:
Well at least you like your parents enough to move back in with them. What do you think it'll be like to live with them? How's this drinking weekends going to be now that you're with them again.
Well, since i managed to get a whole room to myself, and it's right next to the entrance, I don't think it'd be much of a problem really. It's just my mom really, so it had probably been better if I'd written "parent" instead of "parents". Doubt I'll see much of her anywho. And I think going back to school will have a bigger influence on my drinking habits than anything else. I don't like drinking when I got responsibilities and stuff :)
Mai Yang asks:
whoa. haha! that's okay. ^__^
hmmm..I don't have questions in mind but if I may request, can you give me post like "100 facts" about you? :D
Haha, a hundred facts... I doubt I even know a hundred things about myself. Besides, if I did that, I don't think i'd have anything more to blog about in my future posts. I'd like to keep some things about myself a mystery ^_^;;
thetruthaboutGENETICS asks:
What do you think of Finns?
I wouldn't want to fight a war against them.
JDC asks:
Is the chocolate better in Sweden?
No, it's about the same.
Inverse asks:
Something's been bugging me about Sweden. I saw a statistic saying it's like the second fattest country in the world. Is it true? Because I find it hard to believe.
I've never actually heard this one before. I know we got an XXL store down town, but I've never seen anyone enter it. But then again, I got this filter in my brain, so that I can't see ugly people. I really can't. My reality consist of good looking people and shadows.
Diego Sousa asks:
are the sweedish girls really that hot as we see in pics and movies? =D
Sweden is like any other country. We got hot chicks and less hot chicks. Our less hot chicks is about as hot as normal hot chicks in other countries thought. And I can't see the ugly ones, so it's all good for me. ;)
Well I do believe that's all of the questions. Now I'm off to light a glorious cigarette and ponder on the wonderful thing called life. Be well.

Unforeseen circumstances.
Due to some unforeseen circumstances I'm moving back to my parents. I can't say that i'm that happy about it. But it does feel nice to have something to fall back on. Most people don't have that luxury. Due to me moving stuff I won't have much time for blogging, which saddens me, because I do like writing. It's like having your own diary. But instead if keeping it safe and locked up you share it. To the world. I'll still try to churn out some post over the days. But they won't be the mind blowing pieces of literature that you've grown accustomed to. This is mostly because my main computer is divided over several boxes. I am in fact writing this post on my laptop. The keyboard is so small for my big manly hands. It's like playing the old x-box with those old controllers, you know the big ones, but in reverse.
Anywho, what else is new? Going back to university in a couple of days. Well, in about two weeks to be exact. So I still got time to get some more drunken adventures out of this summer. And that's about it i believe. And since I wont be able to write any humongous posts over the next few days I thought that I'll just get a Q&A going.
Ask me anything you want to know about Sweden, me or anything you'd think I'd know about and I'll do my best to answer.
Cheers.

Thursday
So it's Thursday. Totally nothing happened today. I'm really trying to think of something to write about. I got nothing. This is rather strange for me, because you know, I wrote like 500 words about a bloody heap of sand. I think my brain is broken. Was trying to find a metaphor describing how bad it is but again I came up with nothing. This must be how stupid people feel.
Fuck it, I'll just give a quick recap of the week. I've been drinking with me mate. No surprise there. This last month has really just been a drunken haze of... well I can't really remember. I know I've gotten laid. So there's that. And I've had some laughs. So just having an overall awesome time. But getting back to my week. Most of it was spent on a couch watching Skins and Community. God I love the Skins series. Probably because Tony reminds me of me. Before they fucked him up. Oh and about that quote yesterday. I think it was something about that I was trying to figure out something to blog about. Drunk like an Irishman. So my mate and I got into some discussion. Probably. And he decided to just quote something I said about something. A bit fuzzy on the details.
And I'll just end this post now. I can't even keep a red thread between sentences. I'll probably be back to my usual self after getting some well needed sleep. God, this must be how people in the 90-110 IQ range feels. Not good times.

Failed saturday.
Yeah... so... Yesterday was kind of a failure. It started out alright. I had plenty of time to shower up, fix my hair, pick an outfit and all that. So I looked like a king. No, a God. Got over to my friends house at around 8 P.M. And the usual drinking occurred. After a while, around a glass of whiskey into the evening, we decided to try out a new drinking game. Bad idea.
Have you guys ever heard of a show called 24? Well it's basically about a guy named Jack Bauer and how awesome he is. I'm not kidding, a season usually consist of 24 episodes of him being the manliest man alive, and they've made 8 seasons and a movie about this. Anywho, we came up with a drinking game where as every time someone mentions his name, someone fires a weapon or every time he disobeys a direct order, we have to drink. This turned out to be a big mistake. I had gone through roughly ten units of alcohol and my friend had downed around 4-5 50 cl (17 ounces) beers during a single episode. We should probably had slowed down when my mate complained about how everything was spinning. We didn't.
The overconsumption of alcohol finally led to my mate passing out like a clubbed seal. I tried for a good twenty minutes to get some life back into him, but it was futile. It was around this time I realized that I was stuck alone in a suburb in the middle of the night with no backup plan. I panicked.
After lying on the floor, in a fetal position, and hyperventilating for a good 20 minutes I decided to get my shit together and find someone with a car and sober enough to drive that could take me down town. Made some calls, sent some text, but my efforts didn't pay off. And then my cellphone died. Desperate and out of options, I turned my attention to Facebook, praying to God that someone was online. Finally managed to find a living person with a car, but the clubs were about 20 minutes from closing time, so I decided to just take the ride, grab some food on the way, and haul my drunk ass home.
So, failed Saturday. But I had almost no hangover what so ever the day after. I think even my body felt pity for me.

Guest post from Kirre
Hey my name is Kirre. I'm writing this to all of Cray's followers. Cray is too drunk to write something today so he told me to write something instead. (soon I will be that drunk too)
We are at my place and drinking and hopefully we will have an awesome night. Later we're gonna hit some clubs and maybe meet some chicks. I'm pretty sure this will be a legendary night and Cray can report about it in the blog tomorrow or something.
Keep up the drinking and have an awesome weekend.
Peace out

Work
Well I'm on my way to work. I know I haven't posted for a few days. I've just been too tired. But I'll be drinking tonight, if the weather permits, so I'll probably have a decent post tomorrow.
