Starting over

For weeks I have tried to write new blog entries without any success. And frankly, there are quite many subjects I would have wanted to write. A lot has happened since November that has also affected my life in Finland and led me to make few decisions.

First of all, I resigned from my band, Backstabbing Bastard. This decision was relatively easy since I’m in Iceland while there is a desperate need for the band to practice and record new material – not to mention touring. Furthermore, I haven’t been interested in playing the guitar in a long time. I would be selfish and a terrible person to keep my friends waiting for someone who doesn’t share the same enthusiasm.

Secondly, I terminated my apartment contract in Finland. Currently, I have a sub-tenant living in my furnished apartment but by the end of December all my personal belongings move permanently out of Espoo centrum. Mark my words: I’m never going back to that part of the town.

My original intension was to come to Iceland and have a relaxing four-month vacation. According the plan I would go back to Finland after new-years eve well rested and ready to continue my studies and work. Well, after reading previous paragraphs, it should be easy to read between the lines that it’s not happening.

I decided to stay in Iceland also for the spring term. Without going into details, let’s just say that I’m happily escaping the reality and eager to continue hiding here in Iceland.
