I'm, I'm sky high

This week has been awesome! We both, and Jonni, got a food poisoning Saturday. We don't know exactly where we got it, but we're guessing the food we bought from Khao San Road. I was sick and today is the first day I feel even remotely alive. So nothing to report basically. We're going today to Jonni's place to do some standard Bangkok Friday stuff. Next week we have our midterm exams. 4 exams total. So after today I must start to study in order to pass the exams with good grades, yuck. All in all, since I have nothing to post, let's skip to the songs of today.

First I'd like to start with Guns N Roses, Nightrain played at 2008 Gibson's Summer Jam. Vocals are by McQueen and guitar is played, by who else than, Slash. Quality is shit, but I dare you, have you ever seen a better second solo in Nightrain? Since I haven't and Tommy can agree with me in this one.



Next song is by Passenger, a side project of the In Flames singer Anders Friden. The name of the song is In Reverse. Not the best song by Passenger, but only one there's a music video... And who cares, who could resist his voice?



If you're stuck for some reason. Can't get up? Then just lay down, play this song and close your eyes.



Last but not absolutely least I shall bring Oasis, All Around The World. This song needs no introduction.




Peace!

Evening post

2nd post for today, I'm making history. We're leaving soonish, most likely heading to Jonni's place, but first to some shop where we buy 1L whiskey. Since Jonni is having hangover and not very enthusiastic to do anything, so we'll bring party to him. Poker's going good and strong still, upswing continues, ship it! It seems that in every single big pot my cards hold, and I only get outdrawed in smaller pots with short stackers.

But to the reason why I'm posting. First amazing acoustic Jimi Hendrix, Purple Haze cover. Really, amazing !



Then almost even more impressive duo improvisation from the same guy.



Then I wanted to add something totally different also. So what could be more different than the best rap song in the world? Looptroop, Last Song! Enjoy!

Sunny Saturday

Long time since last post. Mostly because we've been traveling and busy. We spent 6 days at Koh Samui. Most of the time there we spent riding our rented scooters around the place. It was really amazing. Song for driving.



We saw some wild elephants in the countryside and some amazing views at the high peaks of the island. Surprisingly we didn't drink there that much, because we found doing other stuff more fun. I really don't want to write too long story about this place, because I've done that already so many times. Be free to inquire pictures, should you want. I've resized some, so it's easy to send them.

This Monday we have Law&Society presentation, which went pretty well. I'm surprised if we don't get an A. Then Tuesday we went outside to drink with this Finnish guy, Jonni. He lives in Bangkok, so not an exchange student. Most likely we're doing the same today.

Friday we decided to buy scooters for Bangkok also. We are going to pick our scooters on Monday, so I guess that will be a good day to die. Yesterday I went to bed early and woke up fresh today. I took a long poker session at morning, then after Tommy woke up, we went to gym and ate some lunch. I'm having one of the most craziest upswing weeks in poker, good time, since I've been in an insane spending spree.

In the end I'll put some songs I've listened this morning while taking poker session. First will be GnR, Sweet Child O'Mine. A good song for the special one.



Second and third will be songs from Hellacopters, By The Grace Of God & Everything's On TV.





Last Rock song, I will put GnR Paradise City.



Finally I will put two songs from a band called Explosions In The Sky. Quite interesting instrumental easy going band.





Now I'm sitting in my room and planning to take a poker session before doing something else.

Take care!
