Thank you thank you thank you for everyone who have been helping to mend things back together!

Self-doubt really is my worst enemy

Mary, I do like the way you're pushing me out of my comfort zone

It's not about being the same, it's about complementing each other

I suppose some kind of intervention is still going on as the trains are still cancelled. I could bypass, but I will not

Really would not like to subject anybody to a repeat. I'll stay here for a night, I'll let you know where

Please let me know. I hope our kids are giving their perspective.
I don't shout or yell because in my childhood my dad shouted at me for many minute things, often uncalled for. That's the reason for it.

What if the original language the Bible was written in is English?

Helsinki (doesn't mean anything in Finnish as far as I know) would make a lot more sense

He'll sink it (all)

I wonder what would Mary look like if a couple of small birds brought a rose for her?💗

Please somebody be there to video her reaction

Thanks team for the most epic wild goose chase bachelor party! Only you could have arranged that kind of experience! It got to ridiculous levels when people started grinning when I went by!😀Many hotels sold out, even though the internet showed otherwise, leaving me finding a room only from a cheap hotel! Lots of announcements relating exactly to what I was doing, a true Truman show experience! And if I'm not mistaken, there were a couple of references to what me and Mary could be doing shortly 😀

You even convinced me that Mary was waiting for me in a strip joint! And I'd need to find her by asking the drinking preferences and countries of origins. Special thanks for the Asian geisha with blue eyes who reminded me that knowing the actual person inside is far more important than what people appear to! Let her have peace.

Oh and team, I prefer text descriptions. What happened in itself is pretty legendary! 😄😄

Interesting how it all turns for the better with a hilarious undertone!

To Mary,

You are the most amazing woman ever for putting up with this as long as you have! I love you for that! 💞Wait time is over.

I'll be there in a couple of days. It's all going to depend on the ESTA - right now I'm not exempt. And I need to rest a bit in Helsinki, likely in the airport hotel.
💞

Fully self aware

This would mean I'll from this point will recognize when you're helping me.

I'll write now what I'm going to do before hand so that you'll have a better idea.

I suppose this is a fresh timeline and I'm self-aware

Do I hear sighs of relief?

Another thing
Space Battleship Yamato reference now FULLY understood - terrifying on personal level. Each time resets back to the decision point? Hopefully this can be made to remain intact if necessary.

Heading back to Helsinki. Departure 21:50, I'll stay awake not to miss it.

I'll get iodine in Helsinki, mild tremors. Due to hasty departure, I didn't pack that or the toothpaste with me. Recommend good off-the-shelf brands.

Alright, I think I know now what I'm supposed to do

I need to apply ESTA to the USA, which takes a couple of days. I really really hope that when you say Quickly, the time schedule allows for that. Immediately I'd likely read get there and worry about the admission later.

I need to resupply shirts and other stuff in Helsinki so don't get surprised if I drive the car out.

If there is a faster option for VISA processing (like on location), please let me know in the next loop. I could get to the US in about 16 hours from here, but the issue is getting admitted to the country.

I'll let you know the flights. I can be there in 3-4 days

Please look at this detour in the light of what extents I'd be willing to go just for a chance to find you. If this works, please be there at the airport for me

The Greatest Show on Earth!

It's a love story; two pairs finally being able to be together!

Almost forgot this

Planescape: Torment, the story of The Nameless One, an immortal who forgets who he is each time he dies. Over the course of the game, it turns out that many issues visible and affecting the world are his own doings, which he cannot remember.

A very beautiful story driven game that transgressed to art.
Thank you devs for this! 💗

Oulu translates to something like flowing waters, referring to the Spring time floods of the river.

My father's side village crest shows a burning log fire (rakovalkea). The location is in the Lapland, place called Sodankylä. In present day Finnish, it translates literally to "Village of War". I don't actually know the original Samish name.

Color scheme is black - red - silver

Greetings from Oulu

See you soon!

What color of clothes you guys typically wear?

Dark Blue or Black trousers
Red / Blue / White / Green shirts

Back then in martial arts:
Black trousers and white shirt

Bboying:
Light blue striped shirt or an orange shirt and blue or black trousers

I started to read hefty books quite young. As a kid, I was often in the library. Another way to escape the present reality, who knows?

Favorite books:
Watership Down
The Hunt for the Red October
The Guns of Navarone
H.M.S. Ulysses
Belgariad series - teenage years
Discworld series - in English

I don't know what you guys have been up to, but regardless...

Thank you for all your work! Fun flicks, some of them quite impactful!

Just a short question for you all:

What would you do if you were the most interesting man in the world?

I was born in the 80s, so much of the pop music of the era is what I listen to. 90s Eurodance stuff was important to get me over some of the hardest and darkest times in my early life. Special thanks to Rene Baumann! Pray, Freedom and Where Is Your Love came just at the right time. Thank you MJ for being on the stage!

There's some irony in that Finland has a lot of heavy metal bands, and it took me a long time to appreciate it. Symphonic metal like Nightwish 💕 works well (thanks Tuomas!). Iron Maiden 💓 surprised me with harmonic overtones, quite like the style. A lot of the metal music in the 90s had a rough distorted sound which tended to make me angry, hence why I stood away from it.

Of bboying beats, you can kind of extrapolate from the type of tunes I've mentioned earlier. Soul funk style like Jackson Sisters. Yes, drum breaks are fun, but I'd like to hear a bit more. What comes to bboying itself, we'll see

Thank you Ellinoora for this and other songs 💓

At first a couple of years ago, I had to watch it like 10-15 times before understanding the tune...

And only now I get it!

Another one that sticks to mind, Knights of the Old Republic

The most memorable scene: turns out that you were the bad guy.

What happens afterwards is a choice that you had to make. Stick with the old you or become a new person?

Rayman, like rays in optics?

The picture is funny too!

Special thanks for the people who made Beyond Good and Evil!

It's fun how the photography was made into a side game of its own. Big whales breaching the water was my favorite, as I've never seen it. I really like how Jade is in the game. Bo staff and all that included. Exploration was also interesting.

If you haven't already, please read the plot synopsis of the game. Quite important. The plot twist was surreal!

Ultima Underworld series (by Looking Glass Studios) I unfortunately never played, but I remember how these were different from many other games. Ultima series games required you to become a better person demonstrating virtue for the completion of the main plot.

Just little tidbits of history for future reference

In my teens I wanted to become a fighter pilot, and I actually got pretty far in the selection process.

Started with glider flying and trips in Cessna type aircraft. I haven't gone for a piloting license, mostly due to cost.

Here are some fun cultural references to dragons

Always liked this movie

Last night's photography, purple rain

My favorite scene from Return of the Jedi

There's just something in children coming to save their parents that is incredibly moving
