- On June 25th both loved and hated Michael Jackson, aka the King of Pop, dies unexpectedly just before the kick off for his comeback tour – a tour with 750,000 tickets sold. The world mourns a musical genius and once again the tragic and typical behavior of commending and loving the deceased is proven right.

I believe in Heaven, but that my dear blog reader, you most likely already knew…- In September the Swedish American Anna Anka (married to Paul Anka) becomes blonde of the year after the first episode of Swedish Hollywood Wives airs.

Very few died due to the flu and the bubble burst when the norovirus hit…
- A fatal year for both SAAB and the Swedish car industry. Only in Trollhättan 4,000 people will most likely lose their jobs.
- Tiger Woods, the golfer, and his so tragic sex and infidelity scandal etc etc...
Have you forgotten that SOS Church Stockholm was launched on August 29th with 53 members!
