A wonderful documentary of Teemu Keisteri, Windows95man, I urge everyone to watch. Every one of us should be like him, a free soul, sober, without shame. ”No rules” is actually a phrase he has been using daily for a long time. What a great dude.
They are calling for “innovative ways” to address migration & migrant smuggling...such as increased cooperation between the EU and #NATO, and more #deportations
The event will be centered around Ukraine's 10-point peace formula, a plan first outlined by President Volodymyr Zelensky in fall 2022 that calls for a complete withdrawal of Russian troops from occupied Ukrainian lands.
My favorites in the first semifinal are: #Croatia, #Finland (NO RULES!!), #Ukraine, #Luxembourg (thank you for that earworm!), #Moldova and #Australia (bits in the Yankunytjatjara language are very much appreciated, spread and keep your culture!). #Eurovision
I kinda didn't get the Windows95Man act for a long time. He is a DJ and a dad from Espoo (a city near Helsinki) and made this one song for Eurovision only. The song is about his saying NO RULES that is more like his mantra, he states that all the time. He thinks there should be no strictness and we should have more fun, that's at least what I catched from his interviews.
As a DJ he usually plays 90s eurodance music in events and combines the mix with obscure things like 90s Finnish TV show tunes or Crazy Frog. He's genuine, funny and retro and started to grow on me.
What I love is the fact that he is completely sober, like me. Often Finns get these silly ideas "kännissä ja läpällä" (jokingly drunk). With Teemu this is not the case, he has Finnish craziness in him without any booze. We both were once a guest in a sober curious movement a couple of years a go and that's where I found out more about this guy.
He is also a modern visual artist and has paintings about butts, among other things. Get to know his art here: https://www.teemukeisteri.net
I'm not feeling it this year (it's not Eurovision, it's me) but for those of you who are enjoying and commenting, I hope you have a great time! I'll be checking in on the hashtags #Eurovision#esc#esc2024 to catch a glimpse.
