I miss the Swedish women on the first day of spring cause they all just,blossom in the most incredible way.
I went to high school in Texas for one year, my senior year. My parents,wanted me to get out of Stockholm because I was running with the wrong,crew. They wanted me to get back to my roots.
I usually have pretty good intuition on projects that I work on.
