Eurovision Song Contest tonight. Who's watching?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around 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:
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

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.
