Ready for tour!
Okay, sleeping in -3c is kinda cold. Would it get a bit warmer I could start moving with a zero budget.
The tent in the morning. I swear I got no clue what happened during the night.
everything is magic until it becomes routine
Reviving a dead blog with NT Syringe. Yes!
Christmas present from Bank!
Froze the account while being abroad. God damn.
Hell, free?
Room 7, 0204 o'clock.
1 more month and the army's over. Nice.
Freight hopping. Holy shit, time to go for it next night.
Starting location: Lempäälä
Destination location: Jyväskylä
Bang bang
Time goes on and on. Good, freedom is closing in. 236 days of military service left. Wondering whether to travel or work after the service. Work might be a better idea to ensure not running out of money during travels. This blog will stay as quiet as it has been until I'm out there.
Silence
To become free, one cannot be certain of it's destiny.
Be impulsive, creative, original. The key to for finding oneself?
So..
.. what.
Everytime I start writing, I stop in the middle and delete everything. Which is good, I don't have to regret writing something stupid afterwards. Internet doesn't forget.
Save your money, do some fun stuff.
One more day as a delivery boy, three nights, and a new era of school begins. This is bullshit.

lalala~
What the hell..
.. i'm working in a night shift as a delivery boy..
Curtains?
"Some day, lad, all this will be yours."
"What, the curtains?"
Troublemakers
Past weekend has been kinda unique, as i've stumbled into small troubles with some local wannabe bad-ass guys. One of them assaulted me while I was passing by, which resulted into few exchanges of kicks and punches before I decided to leave as things went pretty hot. So, now i'm kind of being chased by some nuublets. Hah, losers! What else is on the news.. time goes on.. trip to Stockholm went without troubles or accidents.
Welcome to my humble house. KLANG.
Nice desktop wallpaper when combined with black background.

My cousin & his flying machine. Wins.
The Final Challenge
Well.. In fact after thinking, this ain't the final one. It's still possible to go the same way back with a cat leap..! >:]
The video is from pretty bad angle, it makes the gap look less scarier :p
It's raining..
But the rain stopped for just enough that I managed to put this together. 54 seconds, not a long video, no fancy tricks, but surely it has what all parkour videos should have, flow.
On the overall, I think it was a quite succesful run. I took 24 different shots, which of 23 were used in the video. I missed some points (especially the one when I begin to descend from the roof, the first drop landing is missing.) but I suppose its okay. Hmh, if the weather gets better I might do another one in a different place.
"We're gonna make you inhale that cola.. the whole bottle.. from your backside!"
Pietu going for a.. half-½side-flip? Yeah.
Rain, slip, crash and impro
After some consideration, I have come to the conclusion that while running on a wall my right foot slipped (due to rain and overall.. slipperiness) just at the moment I was going to jump. Then I probably misplaced my left foot as there is a nasty scratch on the shin. After that I did a 180 degree aerial rotation to right and a 90 degree rotation backwards.
Left wrist took 19 points of damage as I landed on my back.
"Aaargh."
On the way home, the whole train vagon was empty except for us.
No need to tell probably that it got out of hands.
What happen!
He fell shortly after and took 19 points of damage.
Chilaxing at Tampere, the traceur way.
So, today was the second jam of the 06 at Tampere. The first one was one week ago on Saturday with 20+ traceurs participating the event. Today it was more quiet, with less than 10 people. It's kinda good thing, because moving with a large group is always harder and it intimidates people who dislike seeing the youth performing athletics and acrobatics (or vandalism, like they usually call it!). Well, this time things went smooth, no troubles at all and the jam was an overall success. No broken bones or places.
"..It's just a fleshwound!"
Posing on a rooftop. Heh. Thanks to Joonas for the picture.
The flying shadow.
Kebab, keeps you going.
St. Petersburg
Returned just from St. Petersburg where I left at monday. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me but i'll write more when I get access to some pictures my friend took.
Awesome trip.
Climbing at night
Snow is almost gone, yay! Even though it's still wet and slippery, I decided to go climbing around a bit on local spots. Here's one of my favourites; an old railway bridge, can't see shit though in the picture because it was quite dark.
Left a mark there. There is a quite good change that nobody else will ever see it as nobody would probably get the idea of climbing up there. That was also my first attempt at stencil painting and I've got a feeling that i'll do it again.
Another railway bridge, catched a neat picture of an interrail train passing by probably at 200km/h 2 meters away from me. I was lying on a narrow overhang when I took this picture. Was worth the experience. Next time I'll let the train pass over me... not.
Street climbing is made of win and addiction.
So be it!
We have just agreed that the trip will be executed 8.6. Only concern now is how to avoid getting a job that would force me to do some work then. On the otherhand, if I get a job in the near future, it might very well be that I'd head somewhere in August somewhere more futher. I'd aim towards France. With a job i'd have the money, but with a job it might be hard to find time for such travelling. In fact, I'm quite willing to part from a job for that kind of trip. It would be even cooler to have enough money to travel without any specific timeline to follow.
Just leave and come back when it would feel like doing so.
Berlusconi
Some people simply have too much money, power and influence. All of those are corrupting.
To Stockholm!
This must be the 3rd or 4th time we had to change our plans for June with Joonas. I got some problems that forced me to reconsider the date that we were supposed to set off. We couldn't decide a new date yet, but our choices are either 8th June or 22th June. Tzk, will see about that.
It's 1am. Listening to Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds (np Black Betty).
So.. Go blog! Go!
So, I opened this blog aside the HFTC blog as I felt that it's quite limited. And it's mainly written in finnish. Don't except this one to be any more updated than the HFTC one but whatever. Time will show.
No school. No work.
Summer 06 will hopefully be filled with great stuff. Waiting.. waiting..
