After I've randomly read some bloggs and watched a few videos, I noticed one - among many - common nominators. "Yttrandefrihet i Sverige" which is "Freedom of Speech in Sweden" in english, being used all the time.

 

I thought that I should reflect a little bit on that subject. I'm no expert when it comes to laws and such but this is what I know and think.
Freedom of Speech is one of Swedens four constitutions. Which means that every individual is allowed to have an opinion and - most importantly - express it.

 

You're allowed to have an opinion - Yes. You are allowed to express it - Yes. Now, this is were everything falls apart. The matter on HOW you express it. Feel free to express what you feel and think - as long as it doesn't offend other groups of people. Such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation etc. in the form of insults, harsh words or any form of intention to harm or specifically attack one individual - or a whole group.

 

Basic stuff one should know, yet there are people who uses that constitution right but in the wrong way/ circumstances. Which could possibly lead to a whole lot of damage - both physically and mentally - that one, or more, could have avoided if the opinions weren't expressed in a sloppy way.
Everyone, in Sweden, know that they have their right to speak their mind - fine, but everyone either forgets, or ignores, the part on how you express it. If you think about the words to use in order to express your opinion - there's a bigger chance that you could avoid a fist fight or another form of confrontation you'd rather forget.

Today was our first day in the radio studio - sending LIVE!

We've had some practice before but this time, people would listen. It was fun and because of tomorrow's date, our theme for the day was love. Playing some old love songs from the past like;

Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses
Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing
Backstreet Boys - All I Have to Give
and many more ...

We had a whole hour to both talk and play around the subject of love. Next week we'll send again but with a different theme - what? I will not tell.

Sending Live to you every wednesday at 4.30pm straight from Radio Eskilstuna 92,7. With a new theme - and surprise, every week. Enjoy!

I know I'm late in watching the show but I had forgotten about it since the last season. I haven't followed the show since season 1 - I started att season 10. Only because I heard Jennifer Lopez was going to be one of the judges, I just had to watch. Along with Steven Tyler, I think they we're the perfect judges - even though I don't know who where before them.

When the "Idols" from the previous season appeard, I hit the search button on my computer and found some good songs they had released - along with Colton Dixon. I think that Jessica Sanchez is the new, and young, Beyoncé. She's going to be big - if she keeps it up. I also think that she should have won instead of Phillip Phillips.

I watched the first episode of the new season, and, haha! Seriously? Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey? I had no idea Mariah had such "diva" attitude. Not to mention that they are now four judges. How is that going to work out? Personally, I don't think Nicki should be there - since she hasn't been in the business so long. Besides, I've heard that she uses vocal synchronizer - or something like that. The same I heard about Enrique Iglesias.

This whole week, I walked the streets with a smile and - for a change - it felt good. Although the weekend had a few surprises in store that I didn't see coming, even though I should.

Last Monday evening, I met someone who felt nice. We decided to meet up again the day after, that's when we agreed to start dating - it was good. It was then he told me I was a nugget among rocks. The following days we met and enjoyed each others company and an invitation was accepted, to spend the weekend together. It started with kisses but ended in scars and lies.

He spoke about being honest and all, yet he could not deliever it. Today he texted me what was going on, and before I knew what to reply - I was out of his life. Just like that!

Now, I have to heal and give myself a break. Otherwise, I'll fall apart.
