Its still fun Udie. You have to shut out the pessimistic ignorant and open up windows to the optimists.

Hmm week ago I was looking Roger Waters (you know that guy from Pink Floyd?) in Helsinki-Arena; I'm going to spend this weekend at our private club and week from now I'll drive four hours to see Slayer, Rammstein, Dream Theater and dozen other bands in a summer festival "ProvinssiRock (http://www.provinssirock.fi)" in Seinäjoki (Translated WallRiver). Coundn't get a hotel room so I had to rent a room from a campus for me and my friends. Gonna be fun :D
Oh and I'm on vacation :)

Man that sounds like a good lineup for a concert, wish I could be there.
what's a vacation?

Dream Theatre?
Yikes.
I'd come for the Slayer though!

Here's a few helpful hints:
I heard a great pop song once that really helps me put things in perspective when it gets unbearable. The chorus went, "Iife is life, na-na, na-na, na-na". The song was really insipid and repeated this over and over again. If I had a .wav I could send it to you.
The other quasi mantra is "the whole of the human race and all of time and space...doesn't mean sh*t to a tree".
You could also try listening to the Monty Python theme from the end scene to Life of Brian "Always look on the bright side of Life". If you have seen the movie the context couldn't be more ironic. I have it as the .wav file that plays when my laptop shuts down.
Lastly, you could try colonic irrigation. I have been told a self serve car wash can work rather well as a "self serve" facility. I'd go with water only and stay away from the engine cleaner setting.
:D

Verse from "Life of Brian"
Life's a piece of toejam,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life....
btw that "Life is Life" song really is something AWFUL !
-
No matter how big your troubles........
A billion people in China don't give a damn!
:)
-
ok thanks guys :) I'm still pissed/depressed but you guys at least put some smiles on my face.
-
Well if you really want to have a laugh use some file-sharing proggie like WinMX and search songs "Johnny B. Goode - Roadrunner" and "Who killed Bambi" from Sex Pistols...

heh, my first name is Brian. A friend sent this "poem" to me on a nice piece of paper, framed. Its in my office somewhere on the wall clutter of aviation art and photos. Think wife has pulled it down since the 6 year old can read pretty good now. :)

I was on the Roger Waters show here last week. His late songs are far from optimistic...
When I am getting such a mood, I take my backpack and go away from the city for a weekend. Just pick up a place on the map, get on a train - and here I am watching sunset on a river bank beside a fire.
Travelling alone is a very nice and optimistic thing by itself. When you are waiting for a local train or bus from nowhere to nowhere, and you know that noone is waiting for you, and you don't have to hurry, and you are sitting on your good ol' backpack with a tent, sleeping bag, axe and few cans of food, smoking cigarette and watching clouds with a bottle of beer in your hand always makes you calm and philosophical ;)

Come with me to Rio sometime! I am going back to Brazil at the end of this month. I go about every 2 to 3 months for work and usually manage a long weekend or two in Rio de Janiero. The scenery is awesome and friendly as well.

Udie: imagine yourself sitting in denmark. You've just gotten your paycheck, amnd you see that over 50 percent has gone to the state. Still, you're satisfied that you now have some money.
On the way to your car, you battle the utter grey; nowhere can you see blue sky. It is impossible to discern whether the world itself has turned a shloshy gray, or whether it's just clouds; the greyness penetrates everything and lodges itself in your mind, firmly refusing to let go. 'There are clouds, somewhere' you tell yourself, trying to shake this permeating feeling of endless lack of colour, vigor and life, that this is what has been, is now and will be forever.
The rain throws an insulting laughter in your face, drenching you in a torrid stream of hopelessness. As if to illustrate your inability to fight the impossible odds, it finds entry at every opening, and then proceeds straight through your clothes. A fine culture, this social democratic one.
Annoyed, you battle on. The wind now hits you, and rip the documents from your grasp. They tumble away, striking a dirty grey pool of water before you pick them up, totally drenched in daft dullness.
You walk to your car, open the door and start it. Short of gas, you pull up to a gas station. You see a sign - "today selling gas at the price it would be without taxes!". Big queue. Price is 2.54DKK compared to 8.50. You cannot beat the queue of bureaucrats awaiting in front of you. Here, where the is hope in the darkness, some sanity in a world without a mind, there are a thousand men on a chance of one. You continue.
This is the first 30 minutes of one of my days during wintertime. I will now stop writing, because winters are depressing.
Summer is utter bliss, even with the stupid system we got here. Somehow I can abstract from it during summer. But winter...
Look where you are udie, and be happy. You COULD be in DK on a rainy day in February... :D

LOL quite true, but during winter, they pack themselves up in lots of unattractive winter clothes
There is my cause of winter depression, methinks.
:D
