Next stop Sweden

In 30 minutes there will a guy here stealing back the router for our internet and we will be going into radio silence for a few days.

Hopefully everthing will be up and running in the apartment in Sweden by sunday night or monday so I can start posting again, but until then you all just take care and have a nice time doing whatever you do.

Just to let you all know, it´s 23 degrees here at the moment and a nice big sun is shining on us and almost pisses me off, but I´ll take it for now.

Woot Woot

Only 5 days left on my stay here in Malta before I go back to Sweden for a not yet decided period of time. And if I´ll come back to Malta in the future or not is only up to the future to decide, I´ve had a really good time down here and would gladly come back and spend a few more months here, during pokers peak months though.

Two of my friends are in Brazil at the moment and I´ve heard some talks about maybe going back there in the fall, and if poker could go ok for the summer and I could get my ass to study some portuguese I would not be a stranger to going there for a while.

But for the coming summer I´ll be spending my time in good old Sweden, keep grinding online and see how that goes, along with watching the European Championship of Football and hoping for an exciting championship for Sweden.

I will also be playing some live poker at the local poker club and try getting some action going there again since it´s been lacking a bit, and when the fish comes back there will be value once again :)

I will keep trying to update the blog and will try to get some interesting posts for the few people that still look in from time to time, and if I´ll keep posting in English or going back to Swedish is up to you, please let me know what you think, maybe there is none at all reading this that cannot understand Swedish :) and then it´s all solved I guess.

I´ll try to post at least one more post before I leave the island, but on friday Melita is coming by here and picking up the router and shutting my internet down for this time.

Jump Around

When poker is on it´s worst behavior and all you get is kicks to the groin and slowrolls up the wazoo there is no easy way to just shake it off and smile and keep going, and for me to get by all this I need music, and trust me not any music will do.

However, after a quick few sngs today I shut everything down and threw pokerstars out the window (might see if I´ll go down and pick up the pieces tomorrow) and started looking for something to get me back in the mood that does not make me wanna kill the first person that speaks to me.

What I found was this clip that just made me smile and got me back to happy mode again, and not only to see they all enjoyed them self, but also the music itself is great ofc.

And while on the subject of music, you might as well listen to this song from Everlast latest album.
I really love his voice and I got to say that some of his lyrics might not be liked by everyone but who cares, someone has to talk about the subject that some people sweep under the rug.

A bit of a disturbing video, but that is just hand in hand with his lyrics.

Mdina

Today I decided to act like a true tourist, so I ordered a taxi and went to Mdina.

Mdina "Silent City" is the old capitol of Malta and is surrounded by huge walls and has only a population of around 400, and according to what I´ve read, only the town citizens are to drive a car in the town, which I can understand seeing how narrow the streets are.

They say that the town takes about 10 minutes to walk through and even in my tempo (barely faster than a sloth) you get through the place in a short time. But I suggest that you take your time and see the old buildings and the Cathedral and such, and why not make a stop at Fontanella Café on top of the bastion and take a break with something to eat or drink while enjoying the view of Malta.

Anyways, as I said, I acted like a tourist today and took alot of pictures, and I have put a few of them below, and I might post some more later on.

Total Recall

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone starred in the original movie from 1990 and in the remake of 2012 we get to see Colin Farrell is Quaid and I have to say that the trailer look promising, even though remakes can always be a big letdown, but I will still see this one.

We will also have the pleasure of seeing the ever so good looking Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel in this one.

And after a few seasons of Breaking Bad it will be good to see Bryan Cranston in a what I hope to be a real movie again, and not just a joke like Disneys John Carter crap, and for those of you that has not seen Breaking Bad yet I urge you to see it.

As director of this remake you´ll see Len Wiseman, a still young and new director with not many movies under his belt, but such as Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, so I guess the artistic and cinematic area of the movie cannot be anything to complain about.

Coming in August.
