Hellow friends!
Some time has passed and I decided to let you
guys know little what is going on in my life. As
you might know the fall was a bit tough but as
the days are getting longer even here in the
north, I find my self in a pretty good spirit.
Of course the future plans are pretty different
than they were six months ago.
I have had a lot of time in the past few months
to think hard about life. What I've done and not
done, what I want and who I really am? I feel so
lucky to have so many great friends out there.
You have been really a big factor in this
process. There were a time when I even doubted
my self but you allways proved me wrong. Today
can truly say that I know who I am and what I
want. Naturally no-one can say what the future
holds but I can see the spot on the horizon
allready and I starting the engines.
So what is happening in my life..
I've started writing songs with some really nice
people and I feel really good(and lucky) about
the whole thing. These guys have returned a
stack of confidenced in me and I allready owe
them a lot for that. We've decided not to make
any exact plans or set any dates. The main goal
is to enjoy the music and not to take any
pressure about it. If and when we have enough
songs ready we will make a decision if whey are
good enough to be put on an album. Let's keep
our fingers crossed..
I've also joined a band now(!) The lead singer
of a finnish band Waltari, mr Kärtsy Hatakka,
asked me if I would like to come play guitar in
his solo project. I naturally said yes and we
have been playing a couple of shows allready in
Helsinki. Playing a gig felt a bit funny at
first but it's ROCK so it's really cool. I have
also met some really nice people in and through
the band but most of all, it has been really
fun. Maybe the band will visit the continental
europe too someday.
I will keep you posted when something worth
telling happens. Stay tuned!
As I'm writing this, I get a message telling me
to check out the latest entry in "a certain
blog". You might know what I mean. Thou I made a
decision to not comment on any of the naive
statements from mr. Haber concerning the
handling of this matter, I have to make an
exception this time. Samu says the following:
"He wants all of our money and also the name
Sunrise Avenue away from us". I have to say that
that kind of a statement doesn't surprise me at
all. I can tell you guys that the claim is about
the trademark "Sunrise Avenue" and who owns it.
I'm asking for the court to confirm that the
trademark belongs to all five of us. I think
it's obvious that if all of us have put our
heart and soul into building the thing it should
be owned leagaly by all five of us. The case is
public so enyone can go and check what it is
really about. Everyone can make their own
conclutions from there.
Keep your heads high!
