Eurovision Song Contest tonight. Who's watching?
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Definitely NOT me!
EuroVision is getting old, their songs are getting crappier and crappier each year.
I think in most "developed" "western" european countries, people just don't care anymore.
On the other hand, I guess in the new member states and other wannabe EU states (basically all the poor and under-developed eastern european countries) people might still hold some interest...:crazy:
I know, I'm an arrogant bad-mouthing prick...

It was until Lordi won. I believe Lordi started a new era in the history of the contest and now people realise that you actually CAN bring some modern music to it instead of repeating the old formula that worked back in 1980's!
We Finnish have always joked about EuroVision contest that there's gonna be life found in Mars and Hell freezes before Finland wins (since we won the first time in 45 year history). EuroVision contest was kind of a national joke since we never had ANY success in it and the best position ever was like 7th and 50 points or something like that. Now Lordi won with 292 points which is a top record all time.
I love it how the so-traditional-contest-loved-by-grandmas was won by a heavy metal artist.
There you go uptight grannies! :rockon:
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Decent and inoffensive heavy metal though, even Christian you might say. They sing about striking down false prophets, sing about rock n' roll angels, "In God's creation supernatural high."
The true believers
Thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters keep strong in the faith
And....
Now choose to join us or go straight to Hell
It seems consistent with the rest of their music: they even have a song titled "Devil is a loser". Not all their music is in this venue, but Hard Rock Hallelujah is. And, I think, that's how it should be in the Eurovision Song Contest; there are lots of other places to compete in who can be the most trashy. The ESC should not be. Lordi managed to pull off metal that is decent. In that, they found a way to be both innovative and stick to the ideal of the contest they were in.

I read that Finland's best position was sixth place once.
I didn't care at all about the Swedish contribution this year. Carola Häggkvist has gone on to the Eurovision Song Contest twice before and won it, so when she showed up this year people called in and voted for her just because it was she. Anyone else with that bland, easily forgettable song would never have won. So I knew we had no chance of winning the ESC this year, and that Carola's tune would be forgotten one hour after the show ended.
A great shame, because we had at least two other songs that would have been much better contributions, quality songs and far more natural and honest than Carola's ever-glittering eyes and happily dreaming smile.
