An amazing and eccentric man passed away. He made me enjoy astronomy so much with his show Sky at night which ran for a full 50 years!

Praha trip
So back from a quick trip to Prague to meet my new competition. A dog! How can one compete against such a tiny thing, only 2 months old and can fit in my lap. Didnt think I would like the little one, want my dogs big… but such a fearless little thing got my heart straight away but not sure if he liked me staying in the same bed as my girlfriend
Me and my sexy lady...
Mr Miky
So only 2 more months until I move to Prague and am soooo looking forward to this next step in my life.
Changes
Had a discussion yesterday with a friend who’s girlfriend is trying to change him. She has succeded quite good, I havent seen him for almost a year now because his girlfriend doesnt want us to socialize. He hasnt realised until now how controlling she is so am happy to see him out and about. Good to have someone in your life but never let them change who you are. Change for yourself, not for anyone else.
And I remembered this great one from Calvin and Hobbes…
“You cannot change what you are, only what you do.”

Holy shit, how many scabs can one person have on their head?
Dude, showers. Not optional.

A Message from ISS to All Humankind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmS20epgSOY
I came across this video on NASA Television's YouTube channel this morning and knew instantly I wanted to share it. The video, titled Further Up Yonder: A Message from ISS to All Humankind, is the work of Italian videomaker, Giacomo Sardelli, who's YouTube channel can be found here. Sardelli writes of the video, "I'm not the first one to use NASA's pictures taken from the International Space Station to craft a Timelapse video.
Just beautiful... Am a space nut and love these videos...
Always there…
Some of my best friends are of course real as in that I’ve met them in real life but some of my best friends are people I met online in blogosphere and to whom its been easier talking to about life and everything. So this picture is very true.

"Tomten" by Viktor Rydberg - my favourite winter poem
Every December I read this poem. There is something about it that gives me a cosy and happy feeling. It was written by the Swedish poet/author Viktor Rydberg in 1881 and it is called "Tomten".
I love this Swedish poem about Tomten...
By the way… Almost Christmas shopped
Xmas shopping or just relax that is the question...
Hope you all have a great day either finishing off the Christmas shopping or wondering if you should start it. I’m in the later stage but got sidetracked when I made the mistake of going to my local pub instead.
You know it’s your local pub when you have got a nickname or that in the style of Cheers they at least know who you are. My nickname is the swede, which makes sense. Would hate them if they called me slightly bald guy
But for all the pubs I do love the Irish ones the best, they have the most weird, oddish but oh so friendly people usually in the pubs.
On my very first trip to London as a 17 year old I went to the pub and saw that it was a England-Ireland game on and of course I hadn’t checked what pub I was in but started cheering for England since I was a visitor in the country and wanted to fit in unfortunately I was in an Irish pub. The pub went oh so quiet and everyone turned to me. As an tourist and all alone it was very discomforting. But to their credit they explained my error and bought me a beer instead of beating me to a pulp. Since then I just had a big fondness for the Irish. Anyway, getting off my ass now to do that dastardly shopping.
Ps. And no idea how I found this video on YouTube but I do know that I started looking for the Cheers intro song and after a few clicks got this one. Anyway it’s the best roast speech I ever seen.
Crazy Christmas: Hillarious Vintage Holiday Advertising !
{"You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!"}
There are pretty crazy things out there these days, but the holiday season of the past was truly a weird and wild place, where you can never expect what you might find leafing through your holiday catalog, or coffee table magazines.
Dozens of inappropriate, odd, and down right bizarre suggestions can be found looking through vintage publications; most of which would never EVER make it to the pages of a magazine or catalog today.
Totally inappropriate but oh so awesome xmas ads...
By the way… Tragically hip
My new favourite band.. This album has been on replay for a whole week now and since I already done one post about Canada might as well post this great song from Tragically hip.
I hope it works for everyone because all their official music videos are not allowed for me to watch 
Now what…
Oh no, the battery on my remote is dead. I have just crept under my blanket and I just feel so lazy. Main problem here is: Am now forced to watch On deadly ground with Steven Seagal. The world ain’t fair.
