now i'm breaking up with god.

as we stood there, in the rain, singing Alphaville's Forever Young, i thought, i really wanna stay Forever Young if it means more times like these. last weekend i went on a very special roadtrip among friends. it was a very last of its kind, the very last The Ark roadtrip. ever since summer 2002 The Ark has been my favorite band, well, actually, it's a lot more than that. it's a Love Story, the Greatest Love of my life. and now we're breaking up, since the Love of My Life has decided to move on to other things, like family life and other new adventures. i guess they grew up, but at least our Love, it's for Forever. when on the 16th of September, we will have our one last night together, i know, it will break my heart to leave this one big crazy chapter in my life, behind. but i guess we can't all stay Forever Young, and maybe it is time for some new adventures, for me too.

we made a sleeve tattoo for Tukru from temporary tattoos.

we were such a grown ups and got ourselves a hotelroom so we didn't have to sleep in the car.

the one in Vaasa was the rainiest gig of my life time, and yet, one of the best ones too. we got soaked and had to try to squeeze our clothes dry in our hotelroom. tho that was no help. i was sick during the whole trip, and got even more sick, cause of the sun in Tampere and the rain in Vaasa. like Charles Dickens once wrote "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."  and i wouldn't change it for the world.
