Vanity Card #18 - The Stockholm Syndrome


I recently took a booze cruise with my friends to Stockholm, Sweden. It's a Finnish tradition to get hammered on a ship, make a mess and then having a moving floor for a week at your own home. It's all about cramming 4-10 people into a small cabin, laughing and drinking, playing music until the ship police comes to break your legs. If you're lucky enough, you eventually reach the top floor of the ship - and make yourself a living proof of stupidity on the dance floor.

However, when you finally arrive home and drop your luggage next to the familiar pair of shoes..you think to yourself: "Man, that was one epic cruise!" The Stockholm Syndrome must be working it's magic. Maybe it was all the booze or having fun with your awesome friends, the air of the sea or something like being personally summoned by two hot chicks to their cabin at 5 AM..that makes you believe the cruise was worth taking. 

I guess we'll never know!

Damn, this sounds just like another dating service profile.

The author was given another life after living the usual household hell for a couple of decades.

Nowadays the writer has devoted his time to think about the big scary things..like relationships. Personal economy.
Women and the space time continuum.
There must be a loophole?

Currently living in the outskirts of Helsinki, Finland.
The homeland of saunas, koskenkorva and winters so cold, they might be written by George R.R Martin.

Enjoy the carnival! Pick a card..
After all..life is all about the vanity.
