White
“The cone of silence
Expecting only, compliance
We are the all mighty tyrants
All others need guidance
If you remain defiant
We will revoke your license
And throw you off this island!”

Blue
Sky’s light of blue
Burrowing through
No matter what you do
You cannot escape
The true blue

Turquoise
On the dome’s upper decks
A beautiful turquoise vortex
Is flickering its flecks
Creating most perplexed
Special effects
Posted in celebration of Midsummer and homage to Finns
Midsummer may not be a religious holiday, but it surely is a religion for us Finns 😉
” When in Rome, do as the Romans do”
(Or in this case Helsinki, Oulu, Rovaniemi, Turku, Tampere, Porvoo or basically any Finnish town or village!!!)
Sisu, Sauna and Koskenkorva (Ode to Finns)
Finns, what a nationality
We have quite the ability
To enjoy ourselves
With life’s simple little things
Sauna, heated to at least eighty degrees
Surely hot enough to melt any cheese
Beating each other with branches of birch
Almost as purifying as absolution in a church
Sisu, the spunk, guts and percistence
We have plenty of through out our existance
Rally drivers, Nokia, Linux and the rest
We only deliver the best
Koskenkorva, pure spirit made out of barley
After drinking, don’t ride your Harley
The Swedes may prefer their Vodka
But for the Finns, it’s pure dogma
We have lakes and forrests in abundance
So please come and join us
For a visit in the green of nature
It won’t leave you denatured

“So. Monday. We meet again.
We will never be friends—but maybe we can move past our mutual enmity toward a more-positive partnership.”
― Julio Alexi Genao
Mundane Mondays for Throwback Thursday
On Thursdays we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.
This week, I am diving deep into the archives of the Mundane Monday posts: Enjoy the chosen ones:
Manic Mundane Monday (TBT)
Open Sesame (TBT)
Heavy Metal (TBT)

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous” Bill Moyers
Heavy Metal
Up the stairs
Down the stairs
clicking and clacking of heals
On the heavy metal seals
If you’re running fast
The echoes will last
All the way up
Or way down

I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can” Rufus Wainwright
Open Sesame
Abracadabra!
How well do you know your algebra?
It is as easy as one, two, three
Even before you can boot your PC
The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill
Manic Mundane Monday
Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki
“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese
Panorama
The city panorama
Display filled with drama
Well, at least in the words
Of a known Americana!

Mikonkatu
The busy street for walking
Maybe a little stalking
Well, at least in the pricy shops
If you dare inside them drop
You may loose a shirt or few
And maybe, some money too
