This past week was very busy with work so I had barely time to go clubbing. However, I did manage to see Lady Gaga in one of the clubs in Soho. She looked very good and she was very nice. There is another busy week ahead, which is great. I love challenges and lots of things to do.

Today my dear brother and his 2 year old son Junior surprised us with a visit at my parents’ house in Sweden. That was great to see my little nephew again. We had so much fun dancing, laughing, talking and playing with Junior.
My dear nephew copies everything what we adults do. If we are laud he wants to be laud too; if we sing he sings too, although he doesn’t even speak; if we laugh he just laughs too; he is so cute and adorable. We played some music for him today and he danced the entire time till he got tired. He laughed to him self. He noticed that when my dad sings he hits the table with his hand as a sign of happiness and that he enjoys the song and says “Opaa”. Well, my dear sweet nephew did the same thing. He was dancing with hands all up in the air and then in the middle he just hit the table said “Opaa” and continued dancing.
That was so cute. He continued dancing with his hands all up in the air and then he took his bottle and said “Cheers” and drank his drink. Wow, kids are so smart and adorable. Below is a small video of my 2 year old nephew dancing.

Last night I took an overnight flight to Copenhagen, Denmark. I arrived around 8am today and took a train from Copenhagen to Kristianstad, Sweden, where my parents picked me up. The flight was very quick, only 6 hours and 30 minutes on Scandinavian airlines (SAS) from Newark airport, New Jersey to Copenhagen, Denmark. The train ride from the Copenhagen airport to Kristianstad was also very pleasant and fast. It took only 1 hour and 45 minutes.
As always my parents picked me up at the train station and we drove to a small town where they live, Olofstrom, which is about 30 minutes drive from Kristianstad. It was so great to see my parents and I am so looking forward to spend some time with them. I usually come to visit them twice a year and spend about 3-4 days at a time. Usually when I come to visit my parents I don’t want to do anything else but just sit with my parents, talk and spend some good quality time with them.
In the afternoon my dear brother came after work to see me. He works in Olofstrom where my parents live, but he lives in Kristianstad, which is a little bigger town than Olofstrom and not that far away. We all then drove to my brother’s place to see his wife and his 2 year old son, who is my nephew and I call him Junior because he looks exactly the same as my brother.
Junior is so cute and adorable. He is a child who is so full of positive energy and always smiles, wants to play and he is very smart. It was so great to see him, to play with him and just to be around my family. We had a great time together. I took plenty of pictures and videos – memories for life. Now I have a small family project to edit all those pictures and videos and create a nice short family movie. I always do that and I like to edit movies.
What a wonderful day full of sweet memories and great laughter. After a few hours at my brother’s house we drove back to my parents’ house, where we eat dinner, watched some old comedy movies that I got for my parents. We laughed a lot and it was great to just sit back, relax and be with my parents.

I just saw the movie “Julie & Julia”, which was a wonderful movie, and Meryl Streep, the 2 time Oscar winning actress with 13 Oscar nominations (so far) was absolutely wonderful. It is just amazing to see how great of an actress Meryl Streep is. Absolutely amazing. She portrayed Julia Child exactly how she was, and in every single movie she is “the character” and gives her absolutely very best. I hope she wins another Oscar. Meryl Streep was fabulous, adorable and just amazing. I love her.
Anyway, I was thinking to write about something else today. By watching the movie about “Julie & Julia”, which is about Julie who writes a blog about her attempt to cook her way through Child’s seminal 1961 cookbook called “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in 365 days and covering 524 recipes. Julia Child is the one who actually inspired me. The way how Julia Child was and her way of passion not only to cooking but also to living. She was a person who was full of life and she loved being alive, and that for me is very inspirational.
The reason why I am writing about this is because I am also a person who is full of great positive energy, full of life and don’t like the negativity. That’s one of the reasons why I write my blog. I like to share nice, funny, positive and informative stories and thoughts from my life. If not for anything else, but just for me to read it again at the later point in life and to recall certain parts of my own life and to laugh again. Laughter is what is important and what will keep you going even if you don’t see any light in the tunnel.
So, I decided to write more about positive thinking, life and more about funny great inspirational stories. And whatever one might do or try in life there should be no excuses. That’s at least what Julia Child was saying. She said we should not apologize, because it would make it even worse. Just laugh at say “Bon Appetit!”

I am just watching one of the new TV Series called “Drop Dead Diva”, which at the beginning I kind of liked, but then watching tonight’s show I got little disappointed. Can this show be more unrealistic? Anyway, I just miss the old good days with “Will & Grace”, “Friends”, “Sex and The City” and “Golden Girls”, when you could not wait for the next week to come to see the next show and even today I can watch them all over and over again and never get enough of them. I am wondering what’s next big hit. I am not seeing any in the near future. Currently it is only “Project Runway” I am following and looking forward for Thursday to come.

Last week I went to South Beach, Miami to rejuvenate and to avoid series of health hazards like higher stress, burnout, sleeplessness, heart disease and more. Vacation is of course an essential element of any job and gives many benefits from a business perspective. Miami with its beautiful beaches, everglades and great hot weather is one of the most exciting destinations in the World.
I have been in Miami – South Beach to be more specific – numerous of times and it is an excellent place to relax and a great place for dancing, especially if you like salsa and Latin dances like I do. One of my favorite clubs is called “Mango’s” and it’s located on Ocean drive, in the middle of the tourist area. Another two clubs that I prefer are called “Crobar” and “Mansion”, which are some of the World’s largest and most popular nigh-clubs and are located on Washington Street, which is one of the best known streets in South Beach and runs in parallel with Collins Street and Ocean Drive. Another interesting fact that I like about South Beach is that it is a model shoot capital of the United States and it is home for more than 1,500 models, with many more arriving during the high season (October to March).
“Casa Casuarina”, former Gianni Versace’s house is now open for the public, so we had a delicious brunch at the famed Versace Mansion, which is an oasis for the privileged few. We had an option to dine at the private Versace dinning Medusa room or in the Spanish style inner Courtyard. We chose to have food served in his Courtyard. It was lighter in the courtyard. If you desire luxurious dinning and staying while visiting South Beach I recommend Versace Mansion, “Casa Casuarina”. This exquisitely preserved 1930s Mansion showcases unparalleled architectural and design details, intricate stone and marble work, detailed renaissance-style mosaics and frescoes designed by creative artists such as Alden Freeman and Fashion Designer, Gianni Versace, who made substantial changes to the property. Versace exquisitely restored, expanded, and embellished its features.
We also took the Airboat ride through Everglades to see wildlife and we saw alligators, turtles, snakes and some exotic birds. Since I love adventure I was holding a baby alligator in my hands. That was cool and the baby alligator had very sharp teeth. The baby alligator was only a year old and was making very high noise like screaming for help I guess. We couldn’t hold him for too long since the big mama alligator was running fast from the bushes to rescue his baby alligator, so we had to run back on the airboat.
There was an amazing amount of alligators we saw and drove over with the airboat. It was thrilling, fun and exciting. An airboat ride through the glades is a must for anyone visiting the Everglades.

Today was very beautiful and sunny. It was very relaxing and the most of the day I have spent next to the pool, which is located outside on the 9th floor of our building. The view of Manhattan from the building where I live is magnificent. It was very relaxing day for me today. It is Sunday, and usually Sundays should be like this. I got some nice sun tan so I can show off later on tonight when I go out clubbing.

It was a very interesting and exciting day for me today that ended with lots of great compliments. Well, a few weeks back I was on my way to the gym and just when I got to the gym I realized that I forgot my gym t-shirt, so I stopped to the first store I saw next to my gym and got the first t-shirt I saw in the store. I only paid like $25 dollars for the t-shirt. However, today I decided to wear that t-shirt to a club and it turns to be the sexiest t-shirt ever.
It is a very simple green V-neck T-Shirt. As soon as I went outside of my house a few people commented the t-shirt, which caught me with a surprise. In the club everyone loved it. Interesting how something so simple and random can be so sexy and get everyone’s attention. And sometimes when you spend hours in getting ready and you think it is all on its place then nobody notice you, but sometimes when you spend least effort and “boom” – you are the center of the attention, in a good way that is of course.
My friend Mel and I went bar hopping today. We started in midtown then went to Lower East Side, an area that I don’t hang out so much around, but it was very nice. We went to a bar to see some random bands play live. One of my friend’s friend was playing so we went to check it out. It was very nice actually to see random local bands play different kind of music. After 3rd band we moved to Hells Kitchen to some random bar, which was packed, so we went to another bar, which was also in Hells Kitchen area. It was very nice and interesting evening full of sweet and nice surprises.

Tonight at Madison Square Garden in New York City Beyonce opened her American “I Am …” Tour. This extraordinary and amazing lady delivered an extraordinary and amazing show tonight. The 2 hour long and almost sold-out show that was opened by four young ladies that call themselves “Rich Girl” was spectacular. My favorite part was when she in the middle of the show “flew” from the main stage to the center B-stage, so her fans further down from the main stage could see her. See below a short video when she “flew” all over the audience. Spectacular!!!
As a special surprise for tonight’s performance Jay-Z came out on the stage and sang a song together with Beyonce.
What I like about Beyonce is that she is real. She knows how to feel the audience and she is not afraid of going into the audience and sing with them. She can make everyone in the audience feel good and happy for that moment. She went down from the stage and sang with the people in the audience. The touch with the audience is something that many other artists miss now days. I am pretty sure that if Beyonce continues to deliver this quality in her songs, voice and performance, she will be like one and only Tina Turner. We love you Beyonce and thank you for an excellent show tonight at MSG in New York.
