Here are a few pics from Uppsala, Sweden. It was cold!!!!!! Boy was it cold!!!!!! I’m sorry, but not too many pics of the city. We were in and out and didn’t get to see much. Here they go!
I know this first pic seems kinda random, but this piece of paper has really come in handy. I loose track of days so very easily because we’re constantly on the go!
This is a view of the area immediately outside of our hotel. We heard that the city is pretty much a college town. So there are primarily twenty-somethings that hang in the area. Everything seems modern and hip with a flair of historic architecture.
The “Tour” has actually begun. First show: Lund, Sweden.
There are about 18 shows in all and this is where it all begins. We had to make an hour’s drive to Lund from Copenhagen, Denmark. I like having the opportunity to ride around in new places because it always helps me to get more acquainted with the land and helps maps make more sense to me. I never knew much about Europe but it appears that all of the countries in the EU are “islands” connected by bridges and tunnels.
Hey guys! The tour has started! So far… I’m a bit tired!! We flew from Atlanta to London, about 8 hours, and from London to Copenhagen which was about an hour and a half. Believe it or not I slept about 90% of the time I was airborne ( Yeah, I have this uncanny ability to wake up right when the lady is about to bring food or drinks and that accounts for the other 10%… trust me, this is one of the greatest gifts I possess). The thing that has me tired is the time difference. There is a 6 hour difference between Copenhagen and Atlanta, so we were arriving when my body thought that it was actually about 5:00am. The key to adjusting to time change is staying up and sleeping with local time…. but yeah that was struggle that I lost. Hence, the first post a day later…lol. Needless to say I’ll be playing catch up.
This is my first time getting anywhere near London so I was uber excited to see this sign. We were only passing through, but I’ll be back next week for three shows. We had a two hour lay-over and I decided to just kinda walk around the airport….
Hey Guys! I know it’s been a very long time since I’ve lasted posted here. A lot has happened so my ideas and views have changed. I’m going to start back posting regularly but I’ll just focus on original content. I’m excited about a new focus and the new content that is to come!
I recently traveled to Poland and I’ll be sharing those experiences retrospectively within the next couple of weeks. Keep coming back for updates, or subscribe to my RSS feed.
I know that a lot has been happening in the world since my last post. So I think it’s fitting that I come back with a video that pretty much sums up the last 8 years in politics, especially the last year. Enjoy!
Hey, remember when we were growing up and the older people would always say “Treat others the way that you want to be treated”? Well, a couple of decades later for me and I see the truth in it. It’s absolutely hilarious that the McCain campaign has sought to try and diminish Barack Obama by bringing up an association with a guy he shared when he was 8 years old. At the same time, they’re using Palin to try and make an issue again out of the Jeremiah Wright situation. I can’t say that I really blame Palin too much in this situation. It is obvious now more than ever that she is just a role player in the situation and she lacks the judgement or integrity to stand up against McCain. Doesn’t sound like a Maverick VP huh? Anyways. While McCain’s campaign is introducing “guilt by association” into the political atmosphere by suggesting that Obama was palling around with terrorists, let’s look at comes up when we turn the lens back on McCain:
The Keating 5? Questions abound about his judgement concerning economic matters. Maybe this is why he’s trying very hard to distract America away from questions about the economy.
The Huffington Post states that “Since Sunday, Democrats have been buzzing about the re-revelation that during the 1980s, Sen. John McCain served on the board of a far-right conservative organization that had supplied arms and funds to paramilitary organizations in Latin America.” – A radical group that has become “has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and anti-Semites”.
And Poor Palin keeps calling Obama a terrorist when she actively participated in events held by an Alaskan secessionist union – could that be considered elitist? Un-Patriotic? Borderline terrorism? Check out the video:
This has to be some of the funniest crap I’ve heard in such a long time!!! I’m actually cracking up and shaking my head as I write this. How about ya girl Rihanna got mistaken for Prince!!!!
(picture from TheYBF.com)
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! This is toooooooooooooooooo funny!!! The website PopCrunch writes from a Star magazine article:
Celebrity spies claim Rihanna was “mortified” when a crowd of excited fans addressed her as the “Purple One” as she walked through a London airport late last month.
“Some fans screamed out ‘Prince’ when they saw her,” one witness whispers. “But when they got close enough to ask for an autograph, they realized he was she.”
John McCain has officially suspended his campaign in the midst of America’s financial crisis. The belief is that he and Obama should both put their campaigns aside and go to Washington to help settle the bail out proposal. Now remember, there are only about 40 days left in the campaign and we still have no good indication of what kind of President Vice President Sarah Palin will be… and you want to take away any opportunity we would have had?? I just don’t understand why this is sooooooooooooooo important all of a sudden. This is the same guy that endorsed the bailout on Sunday, said that he hadn’t actually read the 3 PAGE PROPOSAL on Tuesday and suspended his campaign Wednesday in favor of “coming up with a solution”. So this means that we have a potential president that endorsed a bill that would potentially bankrupt the United States and almost slaughter the principles of our Constitution without even reading the 3 PAGE PROPOSAL??? Side Note: Didn’t McCain once say that the economy was his weakness?
Even worse is that McCain suggested that Barack Obama do the same thing and in addition, cancel the presidential debate this week and the vice presidential debates next week. This is all BS and I truly hope that you guys aren’t falling for the “Maverick becomes economic leader” trick. McCain’s efforts are purely political. Obama responded this way:
“With respect to the debates it is my belief that this is exactly the time when the American people need to hear from the person who in roughly 40 days will be responsible for this mess,” he said. “I think it is going to be part of the president’s job to deal with more than one thing at once. I don’t see why we can’t be constructive in helping with this problem.”
I totally agree with Obama. If he can’t successfully multi-task, then we definitely need a leader that could be more productive. Everything McCain is doing as of recent is confirming the type of President he would make.
McCain canceled an appearance on The David Letterman Show because he had suspended his campaign and had to “rush back to Washington” to help solve the economic crisis. It turns out that McCain ditched the Letterman show and did an interview with Katie Couric – but wait, isn’t his campaign supposed to be suspended? Anyways. Dave wasn’t having it. Watch:
I guess this guy really believes himself right not. I refuse to fall for it. Absolutely no way I can believe that Palin is the best choice McCain could have made. Even if I was considering jumping the Obama ship, there is NO WAY I could see Palin as the potential president of the United States.
A lot of people seem to share the same sentiments that Diddy so “eloquently” shared. I know I do. What about you?
