Awesome, awesome night

So I went out with my friends the other night. 
We started out at this bar. Very cool bar. Cheap beer and usually very little people. 
After we've given the waitress the idea of bowling we all felt that it was something we wanted to do ourselves. 
I made a bet with my friend that was a lot more drunk that I was that I would beat him. 5 bucks was the bet. I kicked ass the first round. My friend yells out double or nothing and of course I went for it. 
He starts the second round with a strike and I immediately think that he's played me. 
It pissed me off too. I was really good the second time, I don't actually know if he played me of if he was just more focused. But in the end, I beat him with 2 points. I've never been so proud in my life. Damn that felt good!
After that we were hanging out in a park and the cop came to visit. This usually happens when my friend Shawn is around. We don't really know why that's just the way it is. 
They asked for all our id's and right away they asked me why I didn't have an american id.
"Uhm....'cause I'm Swedish?"
Anyway, they took a good look and then they decided that we weren't any trouble and they "let us go". The police here must be really bored. But I guess that's a good thing.

If music makes you feel this way, who needs love??

It's almost like falling in love. Your body starts creating endorphins, you get goose bumps, your chest get filled up with so much joy it almost feel like you can't fit anything else in there. It's expanding so much you think it is going to explode. A smile on your face, you're laughing, maybe even jumping around. It's so simple but we forget sometimes, or I do at least. 
Music.

Music and movies, my two favorite things

Yesterday I went to Rockwood Musichall and saw three different bands. The venue was about as big as a small livingroom which makes the whole thing a lot more intimate and often in my opinion, a lot better. 
All three bands were all really good but one of them blew me away! Have you ever been to one of those gigs where it's just you and the music? Nothing else exists around you and you're head is filled with fluffy things and it's like you're floating. That is called love and this time it was love at first sight. The band was called Casey Shea Band. Check out their Myspace and while you're in there you might as well check out Jeff Taylor from New Jersey, also really good. Although, that's a guy that should be seen in person. What a character.  Let's just say he was like a boy with ADD and tourette's. 
Today I went to see Nick and Norah's infinite playlist. I've been longing to see that movie and now I know why. It was really really good. It has the same feel to it as Juno. So if you liked Juno you'll like this one. 
Tonight, I'm falling asleep with a smile on my face. Good tunes in my head and great pictures to go along with it.

Too long under ground will do the trick

We had a great night yesterday. I got my meatballs and I know sill and vasterbotten cheese was had at the table. Amazing Swedish food at a restaurant where it said Baltic Food on the sign on the front door. Oh well, no need to be picky I guess. 
After dinner we went to a club in West Village I think where a girl, probably no older than 16, wasn't let in because she had coke in her purse. Only in NYC. 
When we were heading home it took us forever to find the right subway station, when we finally did it turned out we had to walk like 10 miles under ground just to get to the right platform. 
If I wasn't sober enough when we started walking that definitely killed my buzz.

Back in the big apple

I'm back. Left New Hampshire at 3.45 am yesterday morning and came to the city around noon. 
Strangely I wasn't that tired at all but last night when I got a bit tipsy after only a couple of beers I realized I was probably more beat than I thought.
Yesterday I hung out with some old co-workers of mine. We had a great time and after talking to them I once again realized; this is the city I want to live in, I need to live here. 
At the moment that's not possible so I tried to not think about it.
Today the sun is shining and it's 75 degrees (ca 23) outside, needless to say it's an amazing day. My friend Gabbi and I went down to the financial district, sat by the water and ejoyed our day. I got sunburned during the time we were there. It's October! You're not suppose to get sunburned in October. And then again, the forbidden thought entered my mind: I WANT TO LIVE HERE!!! So now I'm going to make that happen. One way or another. 

Tonight we're going out to celebrate Gabbis birthday. We're going to a place where they serve Swedish food. Meatballs, mashed potatoes and lingonberries...YUM! I might have to stay away from the beer though....

Dagens i-landsproblem mina damer och herrar.

So my internet died this morning. 
Don't know what happened. I tried for a couple of hours to fix it with no luck. I'm just just not that smart when it comes to technical stuff. I just bought a new computer. It's a macbook. It's white and it's beautiful! But I don't know shit about these things. I have to call my friend in Sweden every time a complication occur. Very annoying and I'm sure he feels the same way. 
Anyway, after a while I remembered that there's a coffee shop across the street with WiFi. 
Awesome! So that's where I am right now but they close in like an hour. This is very stressful. I'm on the internet all the time. As soon as I walk in through the door I open up my laptop and enjoy the variety of amusement the world wide web can provide and now I can  only do that for a limited time. I know it sounds trivial but my window to the outside world has been taken away from me.  
I can't spend more time on this, I need to use my time wisely.
