I got an email last night saying I was accepted in to the university. This made me feel good because now I have some certainty about my near-future which is something that I haven’t had for many, many years. A man needs some certainty in life.…

Came down to eastern Finland from Helsinki yesterday to start working on my new album. I also started a weight lifting program yesterday to build some muscles. Tomorrow morning I have an interview with the university I applied for in Tallinn. I also started working daily…

It’s past midnight. Today I am born again. I couldn’t sleep so I got up and made some notes. Started reading and then felt the urge to write this. I am Markus. Songwriter. Singer. Guitar player. Musical genius. The world’s biggest unknown star. And shiny too.…

This seems to happen to periodically. I get really interested in health, ethics, science, philosophy, knowledge, spirituality, life, and everything related to it. I want to know more. I want to feel great. I want to be efficient. I want to do what’s right. I create…

I’m feeling slightly frustrated currently because I can’t record here since there’s too much noise coming from everywhere. The problem is outside mostly, there’s this constant hum of traffic and for the whole day some guy has been cleaning the pavement with a machine. And my…

The other day I came across an interesting phrase “raising the bottom” from a radio interview with Michael Ruppert and Peter Joseph. This expresses very well what I wrote about earlier about abandoning my ‘gradual changes’ thing. Btw, Joseph in particular is one of my heroes…

Spent today at Nuuksio national park with my cousin who drove down to helsinki to pick me up in the morning. It was nice a place although there were surprisingly many mosquitoes in the forests. We walked about 6km and then chilled out and ate some…

It is pretty stupid to practice an instrument for hours and hours, year after year or rewriting words again and again that just don’t feel right or endlessly rearranging/rewriting/reshaping older material and musical parts and combining them with an ever-expanding palette of new melodies, harmonies, ideas,…

I’ve made a lot of changes in my life in recent years. Or at least tried to. I’ve also made a lot of mistakes in my lifetime for which I’ve paid the price. At some point I just realized that the ‘normal’ way of living in…

I had my 29th birthday exactly a month ago which I celebrated my becoming a vegetarian! So far it’s been a success and expect it to be so for the rest of my life as well. The ideal is to be a complete vegan but for…

Feel very good these days. Been taking good care of myself lately by eating healthily, reading, working out, practicing my music, learning and growing. It is a beautiful sunday evening in helsinki, where I currently live. I went for a nice bike ride earlier and now I…
