We have presidential elections next month here in Lithuania. I'm usually quite unpolitical and do not know and do not read that much about candidates, but sometimes it is pretty impossible to overlook what a circus is that. From those really not much of interviews and articles I have read I already have a view of what is going on here. Seven candidates:
1. Government is good, government is not that good, I am good, government is good, I am good, government is not that good. Anyway, everyone knows that I will win.
2. I am God and all what I was doing in my lifetime is just the best you can get, but the first candidate done nothing and she is really bad.. KGB and me? Emm... Who told you that? By the way, did I mentioned that first candidate is bad?
3. I'm a good soldier and I know how to manage crisis! And it's just a coincidence that my friends became mafia...
4. I didn't wanted to participate in presidential elections, but my party said I'm going to.. Anyway, this is a good chance to show people that I'm a solid and good guy.
5. What do I think of politics in my country? Wait a second I have to ask some russian guy, he wants to become prime minister..
6. Dzień dobry, Wilno jest nasze
7. I can't be a second man in a party anymore! I'm the best president and I will fire all government, my party will rule the world as I know the best way out of crisis!
This is just my humble opinion on these elections. Sorry, if this is not true :) Just I do understand some of those politicians if only I am looking with a bit of irony... After such understanding of who wants to become a president I do understand why it is already clear who will win. Just I'm still wondering, is it really worth to go to elections just because someone wants to use it as commercial for themselves?
And PLEASE GO VOTING! I don't know if the first candidate is really the best we can get, but all the others would be simply a disaster.
P.S. As I told this is just my opinion and my understanding of who is participating as saying what..
P.P.S. Only three days left till our short trip to Latvia and north of Norway! Yey!

New trip and new helmet
Aloha! Spring is back again, huh? :)
Yesterday one friend of mine told about some hot deal for traveling. Riga - Tromso.. For free :) If using Eurobonus points. I was flying to Stockholm and Copenhagen millions of times in last several years, so there are quite a lot points in my account. And this means - me and Ernesta may fly to the very north of Norway almost for free. Suggested it to my lovely darling and after several minutes we already have flight tickets.
Tromso is called to be the gateway to the Arctics. The city is located right next to the Arctic circle. Those two things are pretty enough for me to decide that I want to go there. And two weeks later we'll be able to share some experience from that already ;)
Here's a panoramical view of the city. Isn't it just perfect???
Along to this great stuff - I finally bought the helmet! Shark RSi fusion tec! It took me more than month of trying and wearing almost all XL size helmets around Vilnius moto-shops (and there are at least 6 of them). This one fits my long oval head just fine and the D-ring attachment system is just what I need as all modern and so said to be "comfortable and easy-to-use" attachment systems totally kills my neck. The only missing thing is integrated sun glasses, but this is not the most important thing if comparing to feeling the helmet in place when wearing it :) It's a helmet with no additional cool stuff, but that's exactly why it is good helmet with a good quality.

Concerts and bike news
Apocalyptica!! Finally, finally I saw them! They visited Lithuania for the fourth time, but all other times I was either abroad, either had no money :) And now, we saw it! I must say, that I love all those changes in the band when they started experimenting with drums and vocals. It's so good to hear all those old songs played only by cellos, but new power and energy comes hearing Mettalica or Iron Maiden covers played with drums.. and ability to sing together is also quite a good feature, I would say..
Next - we also got invitations to Blaze Bayley (ex Iron Maiden singer) concerts two days later. There were three bands playing. First one is said to be one of most promising Lithuanian metal bands Kielwater. The voice is good, the music is quite good as well. Just for my taste of music, they're experimenting too much and sometimes the sound is way to light for they image. Anyway, some years should pass by and I believe that they will become a very strong metal band.
After that some italian metal band took the scene.. As we joked about this band - guess, how many boobs has the only good thing in this band? SO, no more words on it :)
And then this legendary Blaze comes into the scene. I was quite not much expecting, but hey! This guy totally rocks! OK, singer/star has to be a good actor, but he looked so happy and excited by all the public. We had hurting necks next day and this says quite a lot about them. It was heavy, it was metal, it was heavy metal as it should be!
OK, one more memorable event is that I passed driving license theory exam and on sunday I already had my first practice lesson. The motorcycle was small, but it was exactly that such a newbie as I needs. Some more lessons and I should be passed practice as well. Beginning of the May - this will be one big start point for summer adventures :) Just need to mention that for the moment Ernesta's and my bikes are still under some fixing.. So, season opening for us is still something to be awaited for. Can't wait!
Talking about bikes I just can't not to mention this: on 2nd of May there's opening of bikers season. How do you imagine such an event? As for me, it should be lots of bikes, lots of leather, lots of metalheads, good heavy metal and so on.. Guess what, here in Lithuania bikers want to hear some girly pop bands for one of most important event of a year :D At least those girls could show some stripping stuff.. But I really doubt.
P.s. Photos from concerts are taken from here.
P.P.S. I still do enjoy family life!!! :)))))
