“Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.”
Posted on June 6, 2007
Today is the national holiday of Sweden. A dude — Gustav Vasa, I might add — was crowned king this day back in 1523, or so. He threw away the Danes and unintentionally gave rise to the oldest, the longest, and the biggest cross-country ski race in the world. Even so, Swedes are generally not into flag-waiving.
We should be proud of that. In my world, it’s hinting that Sweden is a progressive and heterogeneous country.
In some sort of celebration of anti-patriotism and open-mindedness, I decided to put the commie-brick I’m currently reading (see column to the right) aside in favor of a biography of Oscar Wilde. Ever since stumbling upon the funny quote “work is the curse of the drinking classes”, I’ve wanted to read something about him.
OMG! Enough of this pretentious crap. Quickly, look at these superficial pictures from Valencia instead!

…det är väl inte du som går på händer eller?
Shit dude, magoo är sjukt fitt!
Mon dieu! Att den gode Jean inte känner igen mig må väl vara hänt, man att min egen mor misslyckades med att urskilja undertecknad från en norrbagge är närmast spektakulärt! Jag står utan ord.
I think I’ve been to Valencia. Or was it Barcelona? These Spanish cities are impossible to tell apart, they’re all cozy, cheap, and awake all night.
för min del är jog nog mest nyfiken på,… vad 17 gör gubbarna på den största bilden
En MYCKET befogad fråga. Kanske något religiöst? Bilden är tagen i en kyrka.
