Wiener

I am a huge Wiener. That's right, I'm a tall Austrian citizen (Seriously). I'm starting a campaign here and now to make it so that all Austrian citizens should be called Wieners. Vienna is "Wien" in several languages. Makes sense. "FREE THE WIENERS!" They'd say, if the Austrian's were being held prisoners. But what are the odds of that happening... again?

So, why all this talk of Austria? Well, I'm going there. Now, as a matter of fact. I'm sitting in Bergen airport with an hour to kill, so blogging really was my only choice. I've got a busy few days ahead! We land at around 10pm or something, so there is no real events (other than flying..twice..) going on today. Tomorrow, however, I have a date with the most beautiful girl in the world. 

I don't know if I'll invite Emily or not (just kidding, it's totally with her.. don't kill me when you read this..). There'll be some sight seeing and such! I'm picking up my concert tickets for Muse.. oh.. AND MY PRESS PASS!.. That's right, I've gotten myself a handy little press pass for the event.

Monday we really only have Muse and maybe a little local sight-seeing. We'll wing it. Tuesday we're going to the stables of the Lipizzaner Stallions so Emz can fulfil some childhood fantasy of actually being near a famous horse (I'm sure that's not really it, but hit up her blog for more info).

Tuesday... I actually have no clue. Then wednesday we come home! I'll already be back when you read this, though. 

I'm blogging the whole time, too. It'll all be one long adventure in the Wien. Anywho, better get cracking.. I've got a whooooole... 45 MINUTES?! DAMNIT!!! I thought this would kill more time. Well, I've got a whole 44 minutes and 43 seconds to kill, so... I had better get right on that!

Day 1: So far the airline lost our luggage (both suitcases), our hotel does not have wifi, my 3G does not work as promised and Emz lenses case was in the suitcase. So, we walked around Vienna at 2am looking for a 24 hour pharmacy just so we could get her some solution and a new protective case. Crazy!

Day 2: Our suitcases were found, hurrah! huzzah! other-ah! Also, my 3G now works, too. So, they're delivering the cases now and I think everything appears to be back in order. Breakfast was also awesome. When the suitcases come in, I think we're going out for dinner. Cannot wait!

Day 3: We went shopping. Oh god. The shopping. So many things! None of it mine! Emz went crazy a little bit. But she's so happy, so it's worth it. Little bit of a chill out session now and then we head to the venue to get my press pass for Muse.

Day 4: The concert was incredible. EVERYTHING is just incredible! I got right up to Muse and I got to take so many good photos. I'm so happy! Today we went to the Spanish Riding School, which is primarily where the Lipizzaner stallions are. We got a tour and to see some training, which was amazing. Then we took a trip through Vienna on a horse drawn carriage. I've never been in one before, so this was awesome and amazing and new! That photo is at the very top, then the third photo down is Emz with the horses. They raided her pockets for treats. I do that from time to time, too. She never has sugar cubes!! She sometimes offers me carrots, but fuck that. SUGAR CUBES. (Note: I don't actually eat sugar cubes)

Day 5: We checkout out of the hotel today! It was pretty depressing. I'm going to miss the sights and smells and sounds. We're currently 10 minutes from boarding the plane to Frankfurt (which will then require us to get another plane to take us to Bergen). It's a 2 hour flight, for whatever reason. I'm currently contacting every one possible about press passes for more concerts. I've tasted the sweet nectar that is the music business. There is no going back. Well, time to pack up. TO BERGEN! 

We sat in the car for ages telling Emz mom about the trip. Emz mom had parked outside the bank below our apartment so long that the police showed up. 

So, that was our Austrian vacation! It was pretty damn amazing! Words cannot describe how amazing it was. So much more happened than what I've even been able to blog about, but I think this is long enough! For a sneak peek at some more Muse photos from the concert you can see them on Facebook here, but only on the condition that you "like" them. I need as many likes as I can get! Don't be afraid of over-liking, either. The more, the better! You can also see a video of the crowd waiting for Muse here. I got it just before the show, while I was at the stage.

Ok so that's my blog for now. Not sure when I'll blog again, but hang in there! It'll come soon! Much love to you all. Take care!

I like music because it makes me feel the most free I've ever felt in my entire life 

and gives me the freedom to do anything without much consequence

All my life I've had one dream, to achieve my many goals.

I just finished uploading the videos of Burning Amber playing in Bray the other day. You can see it here!

Sooo.. what to say? We moved all our stuff out from Bray today. It's all in Mum's now which is a little crazy. We FILLED the entire room with stuff. Can't wait to play some Borderlands 2 again! I miss it. I want to finish it!

I have no idea why, but I love that picture. It's useful! I remember Eoin coming up to be almost upset and just looking at his hand and just saying "she said... I hope you don't mind the change!"

I did a review today for the Simpsons: Tapped Out. Check it out here, if you like! I am beyond addicted to that game. If you want to you can add me! RoperSeiler on Origin. *shudders* origin. Horrible service.

I bought a bunch of Homer statues (in game) and got the Squeaky Voiced Teen. That was kinda cool! I really really really cannot stop playing this game! I enjoy it so much. I can't ever figure out why, but I adore it. I love the Simpsons, though. I've watched it since I can remember. I love every episode, every story and every character. It's so much fun!

The Simpsons is the show for me, though. I love Family Guy, I adore South Park and I love American Dad and the Cleveland Show. But, the Simpsons is so fantastic. I could (and am currently) watch that endlessly. I just introduced Emz to the Simpsons now so we're watching it from the start. We're on season 4 at the moment and so far she seems happy! I'm looking forward to seeing how she finds it in the future!

I think I'll do my top 5 list again, but this time I'll do (adult) cartoons! I basically just did, but shh.. I need some space filler!

5. The Cleveland Show
4. Family Guy
3. South Park
2. American Dad
1. The Simpsons

I love all those shows. It's hard to even make a list! I've watched the Simpsons for so so so many years and I love every single episode, that's why they get No. 1. Plus they're No.1. So there's that! haha. anyway, to end this I think I should use one of my favourite Simpsons quotes. Take care!

I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. 

Number 1: Cover for me. 

Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! 

Number 3: It was like that when I got here. 

- Homer Simpson

Fish in a Barrel.. or Aquarium..

I don't know why I sit down to blog when I am at my lowest point of energy on any given day. I'm never motivated enough to be funnier or more amusing. 

As you can probably tell by the FEESH picture, we went somewhere with fish today! Sea Life in Bray, to be a little more precise. It is technically our last day in Bray as we are going to stay with mum until we move away to Norway. 

Sea Life is far smaller than it deserves to be, but it's awesome. They have got some fantastic fish and other sea creatures. It's always good! But you'd be in and out in an hour, even if you take your time. It's not such a big thing. It's a lot of fun, though. Great place to bring kids, or Emz. 

Tonight Burning Amber are playing. That's my friend Eoin's band. They should be good! I'll throw some photos up from that gig tomorrow, if I remember. I'm heading to Wexford tomorrow, should be a laugh. I'll probably throw pictures up from that, too. 

Got the Muse album yesterday, it kicks ass. Make sure you get it! It's insanely amazing. I love it! 

Beyond that, nothing interesting has happened. With the fact that I will probably have an extended blog tomorrow, I'll cut today short. But not without my daily quote! 

Catch & Release fishing is a lot like golf,

you don't have to eat the ball to have a good time!
