Good God Get a Grip Girl!

You may
Think
You’re the
Cat’s meow
But let’s see
How you
Really feel
After I
Tell you
About
What you
Actually are

I’m not
Trying to
Come for you
Offend you
Upset you
Or even
Resent you
In any way

But this is
What it is
How it is
Really like

Why
Don’t you
Give yourself
A really good
Look in
The mirror
And tell me
Can you
Get a grip
On it!

My Precious One

“Last Wednesday, I stupidly dropped my iPhone in the bath, and my life has sort of spiraled almost out of control” Patrick Stewart

My Precious One

The utter horror
Oh the sorrow
For no where
My precious one
Can be found

Why me?
Why now?

I keep on looking
Searching, longing
Turning every stone
With my fingers to the bone

Oh wherefore art thou
My sacred cow?

Suddenly in the distance
I hear a familiar sound
I am utterly astound
And without resistance

Dare I hope and glee
To be united with thee?

My heart skipping a beat
Feeling the heat
I have found it
My precious fit

I am back in the zone
Cradling you gently
My one and only
Iphone

Photography 101: Street & Establishing Shots

Not quite the streets of San Francisco, rather the back roads of Mäkkylä, Espoo.

A tractor would be a more prudent method of transportation than a small car. Watch out for nails or other sharp objects while driving!

Photography 101: Day One: Home And Getting Oriented

Home is elusive. When we think about this word, we might picture different physical locations. And while home is often found on a map, it can also be less tangible: a loved one, a state of mind.

Blogging 101: Day One: Introduce Yourself to the World

“I can’t sing, dance or act, but it never stopped me from doing any of those things”

Who am I?

Today’s assignment: Write and publish a “who I am and why I’m here” post on your blog.

Who am I?

Gun Roswell, residing in the fine city of Espoo Finland. Enjoying life as we know it (yes there is life beyond the world wide web). Enjoying travelling and trying to visit exotic places. Well if you can call visiting the cities in a fifty kilometer radius exotic, then yes.

I have been a tinker, tailor, solder, sailor… not really, but DJ, customer quack, salesperson and a duck.

I am currently acting as a blogger, storyteller, photo snapper, video doodler and a closet screenplay writer on my spare time. During the day I pretend to be an IT expert and gotten away with it for the last twenty odd years (Oops! Hope my boss isn’t reading this!).

My passion is to write, write and write some more. And maybe snap a few photos in the process.

I guess I started scribbling when I got my first crayons and started learning my alphabet around five years of age. I have been and guess still am a little shy about my writing and a lot in the closet where writing is concerned. This is actually my third attempt in writing publicly. And the second time publishing on the world wide forum of the internet.

After my first attempt to sell a screenplay with the feedback “Too American for our taste” from a Finnish production company, I stopped writing for a while. Then I restarted after the internet was invented (not!). Actually, there were no blogs nor social media way back then. Just simple handmade sites with no feedback options. That was during the dark ages where Stone knives and bearskins were common place. A chisel was needed to carve the letters in stone, no one had even heard of a computer.

Why am I here?

I truly hope this isn’t a meaning of life kind of question, because as wise as I may think I am, I don’t think I can answer that question.
But seriously, I am here to make friends.

(ANGRY BEEP!)

Wrong answer?

“This is not Bloggers best friend race!”

It’s not? Sorry my mistake.

“Cut, cut, cut!”

?

“Line?”

(Muffled sound in the background) “I am here to learn to write, connect with other bloggers and get feedback on my work.”

I am here to learn to write, connect with other bloggers and get feedback on my work.
Was that OK, or do we need another take?

“It was fine.”

Are you sure? Because I think I can do better.

“It was fine! Trust me!”

OK then!

“That’s a wrap everyone!”

So that is it, me, myself and I.
Thanks for reading! You have been a great audience!

Four Options For Coffee

“Coffee – the finest organic suspension ever devised. It’s got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it”Captain Kathryn Janeway

The Four Options Of Coffee

1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak

How to recognize bad coffee:

1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.

You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:

1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.

Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!
