Duke's Travels: 4 more years!!
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009/08/4-more-years.html
03 August, 2009. HELSINKI, FINLAND.-. Back from the blogosphere grave! Four consecutive years of Finnish residency also means that the next visa will the big one; the permanent visa. Is this a good time to get more serious about learning the stupid language? Monday, August 03, 2009. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What I'm doing/thinking right now:. There's still a lot more trouble that I can get into, as I try to survive in the Finnish jungle. ;). View my complete profile. Update your RSS Feeds!

Duke's Travels: July 2011
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
03 July, 2011. Helsinki, Finland.-. Duke's Travels blog rises from the grave! Now with less travel and even less creativity and cleverness. But I'll see if I can slowly get my groove back. I have returned to blogging mainly to keep a journal on the life and raising of my new dog Sombra (seen here looking disgustingly cute as always). Sombra is a mix of Belgian Shepherd, German Shepard, Golden Retriever, and Toothless. We've had her for 2 weeks already, so here's the quick report:. This bitch is fearless!

Duke's Travels: Viva Mexico!
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009/09/viva-mexico.html
21 September, 2009. PUEBLA, MEXICO.-. It's been 20 days, more than halfway through my trip back to my homeland, and I've been missing Helsinki since day one. Seeing my parents has been great, and it's been a much needed trip since my mom is ill, and my being here has really helped her out. My parents rarely go out anymore, but I've managed to take my mom out for several walks, the movies, a coffee, and took them both out to an Italian restaurant for their 26th Anniversary. It was Mexican Independence Day!

Duke's Travels: I am a Frankfurter
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-am-frankfurter.html
04 September, 2009. I am a Frankfurter. FRANKFURT, GERMANY.-. Yesterday I made 2 decisions, which could have gone very badly for me. First I took a taxi from Tampere to the airport, and now I'm sure that if I had taken a bus I would've missed my flight. And second, I decided to book a hotel room instead of sleeping in the airport, and now I'm glad I did. I need my rest, I'm not 21 anymore. AAAAAAH! I'm not 21 anymore! Friday, September 04, 2009.

Duke's Travels: December 2009
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
31 December, 2009. Goodbye 00's, hello 10's! SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FINLAND AND SWEDEN.-. Everyone's been wishing me a Happy New Year, but it's hard to think about just the year going by. Another DECADE has gone by. That's right; the 00's are gone and we enter a new decade, where we await new trends of music, fashion, technology, and retro styles that'll make people say 'Oh, that is sooo 2000's'. Have a great New Year, everyone. And a great decade! Thursday, December 31, 2009. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Duke's Travels: Musings from the center of an iron giant
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009/08/musings-from-center-of-iron-giant.html
29 August, 2009. Musings from the center of an iron giant. TURKU HARBOUR, FINLAND.-. From the desk of cabin number 6520 type I, Duke, this week's troubadour for the Viking M/S Isabella, a once glorious party vessel, now hideously overrun by old farts. Yeah, I ran out of poetic sounding terms at the end there. (Yes, party vessel IS poetic! Thing's have not been terribly interesting lately, but I'm so incredibly bored that I just have to let it out on a blog post. So, it might not totally suck tonight.

Duke's Travels: I've reached a new low
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009/10/ive-reached-new-low.html
15 October, 2009. I've reached a new low. I apologize in advance if you this post is too technical for the musically illiterate. I've recently discovered that my vocal range has gone down one whole note. My lowest note used to be an A (easiest to reach in the morning before my first coffee), which I was barely able to hold. Now I'm able to reach all the way down to a G, which makes those Pink Floyd songs a lot more fun to sing. Still works best before the morning coffee. I'm coming for you, Barry White!

Duke's Travels: March 2009
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
31 March, 2009. For the Future Me. HELSINKI, FINLAND.-. Again, I'm lagging behind on the blog posts. And this usually happens for 2 reasons: 1. There's nothing happening in my life that is interesting enough to blog about, and B. Too many things happen in a few days and it's hard to blog about all of it in detail, so I end up with too much too write about, and end up never doing it. Watching it again broght some nice memories, but of course as an adult the movie just seems pretty cheesy and boring. Ah, y...

Duke's Travels: April 2009
http://dukes-travels.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
22 April, 2009. Carlin Quote of the Day 1.4. Let me tell you something. In the first place, listening to music someone else has picked out is not my idea of a good time. Second, and more important, the fact that a lot of people in America actually like the music automatically means it sucks; especially since the people who like it have been told in advance, by businessmen, what it is they're supposed to like. From 'When Will jesus Bring the Pork Chops? Wednesday, April 22, 2009. 12 April, 2009. To give t...
