The conversion from English to Swedish is the following,
step one. swap everything with a c for the k sounds to a k
step two. change the endings of verbs into era
step three. change the adjectives' endings from ive to iv
step four. many words have e's in english as an ending but remove them when you are in Swedish
step five. in -> i, on -> på
step six. and when you try to speak, try to stress the ending of each single damn word!
There you have a complete idea how swedish looks like?

weird and stupid advertisement here!
Ok, I will let you judge.
I went to Lidl(a cheap German grocery store) yesterday, and I saw this ad at the door on the brochures and on the window. It was ham on sale, 20 kr off. So I thought to myself that I could make the fried cheesy ham thing that Manu made a while ago. So I got it and paid for it then realized that it was not on sale! What the f? So I went to take a look at the ads again, shit, the ads is for next week?!? this week just started but you have the ads for next week on the windows and at the door?! I seriously don't get how the Swedes think, or maybe Germans in this case

Stereotypes of a Swede
Men
1. clothing- really fit jeans, dark fit jacket in the winter, pointy leather shoes, no sweatshirts, tend to wear stuff that's dark and fit
2. hair- gel your hair straight
3. figure- usually slim, tall, blond, blue-eyed
4. been to Thailand
Women
1. clothing- really fit stuff as well, high heels, grey top that shows half of your breasts but goes below your bottom, like stretchy things that a pregnant woman wears, dark pantyhose
2. hair- blonde, straight, long
3.figure- slim, nice bust, a bit tanned, blue-eyed, super long legs
4. also been to Thailand, or at least wants to go to Thailand

Saturday and Sunday nights- Oct 14, 2007
It wasn't such a pleasant weekend to me and my buddies...
Saturday night, we went to a sports bar to watch the semi in the Rugby World Cup with the usuals. It was France vs. England- not even kidding. Ever since history began, those two nations never had peace. so did the night.
The first 3 minutes was a disaster for France. Some French player made a huge error. he let the offense go past him because the rugby ball was bouncing irregularly. so E had a touchdown. I went with the French crew so I was for France, well... I never liked England anyway so...
But then France came back and lead for quite a while until the last 10 minutes, the english team crushed the dreams of the home team. It was a nice play though, I have to admit. Although Shabo (this shaggy famous french player) went on the field trying to assist the team. It was in vain. My buddies were almost crying after the game while the english people are dancing around in the pub.
While watching rugby, I was also looking around, well, as usual. Saw some nice looking swedish girls also staying but only chatting with some guys. But something amusing comes up. this girl from America, first by her accent then she tells it herself, goes right in front of me, listening to these two british "gentlemen" speak. then she goes right in to start a conversation with them. I think this girl is desperate. oh, it was an american sports bar btw because everything on the walls were all from boston. Boston RED SOX, CELTICS, THE ICE HOCKEY Team and so on and so forth. I also Magic johnson's autograph on the wall on a picture of his presence in this bar.
Then here comes sunday night. we had 9 players so had more than enough to sub. But the games were horrible. So many misjudges, and uncalled fouls. And also people getting pissed at each other. I was one of them. there was one guy in the first game who slide tackled all the time and hurt many of our players. He got me some times but I got really mad at him after seeing him doing it over and over. So when I was on the side, I called him son of a bitch. then after the game, he came to me and asked me who the hell I called son of a bitch then I went YOU. He really got the guts to come back to ask me cuz we had the whole team there and he came alone. So I just kept on insulting him because he played really dirty and I thought he deserved it. But I apologized at the end because I was a woos.
The second game it was even worse. Samy, Thijs, and Chritophe almost had fights. It wasn't pretty. But the calmest player was Thijs. I admire him for that because he knows how to calm down and the rest don't.
We were leading in the beginning but we kept making errors to let them score. And our mentality just snapped so it wasn't any hope either. But oh well, life is tough.

IPHONE!!!!
Freaking iPhone cost me so much for the stupid Swedish toll - 25 percent of the original value!
But here comes a sweet picture of it so all of you can stare at it and hate yourself for not being able to have it!
In comparison, my old shitty siemens is a piece of junk although i paid probably 1/10 the price of an iphone for it. But check out that huge screen man... aren't you tempted too?
