Words From MySpace - Escapology

"After the first few questions, to which he has explained that Escapology was recorded on crack and speedballs and that the title has many meanings but that five of them he neigther knows nor understands, he realises from the interwievers slightly desperate demeanor that she is hoping for something more serious and substantial. She ask what he wanted to express when he made the album.

"I don't know" he says. "The inner workings of my mind. I wanted to get them out, and have people listen to them and relate. Or not. I don't know really what I wanted to express. Just sometimes I'm sad, sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm indifferent, and sometimes I get confused and don't understand stuff. Like everyone else. Which is good. Because if I had problems no one understood, that wouldn't sell records at all. 'I've got these Martians, they land in my house and they make me dance in a hawaiian way.' Can you imagine if that was one of my problems?""

The feel-book about Robbie Williams is well worth a read, reguardless if you like him or not.

Words From MySpace - Christmas

Even this year we went to visit my uncle and we stood by his grave.

Actually it was the first time at his stone, it said "I've dug my last hole" and we giggled a bit.
It must have been his own words. I remember him saying stuff like that.

The stone also said: * Loved & Missed *.
Especially today. There was much christmas-spirit in him.
Other stuff too...
He was a heavy guy.

******************

Me, Mum and Dad spent a quiet day with food and movies.
I guess next year will be different, but for this year the whole family shattered like leafs in the fall.
Not in a bad way... It's just that we all remind eachother too much of him, and him not being around anymore.
I hope we'll all gather next year again.
Like them other leafs, sticking together in the gutter.

I apologize for all the bad leaf-metaphores, it might be the late night wiskey I had with my father.
However, I do sincerely wish possible readers of this a merry christmas. Love those you love

Cheers!

Words From MySpace - Not quite what I was planning

To sum up how things are going with my new bowlingball...

It also pretty much sums up the anxiety I felt when I realized I had lost the bank paper stating to which account I want my salary.
In panic I realized that someone else might fill out the form stating their account instead and this is such a typical me-problem, being confused cause I'm having to clean up all these little messes that I tend to get myself into...
However as always things managed to work themselves out as I called the bank and they promised that they had a direct connection to another system that always gets my salary onto the correct account. But I made the guy promise to write down that if anything changes - if they get a note from "me" saying I want the salary to go somewhere else to contact me. And he said they would.
All ends well. But I tell yah, I'd be a whole lot better of if I just managed to keep it together - me and my stuff.

Words From MySpace - Advice for the young at heart...

*******************************

...Keep it soft and tender.

*******************************

Tonight I'm all soft inside.
I've noticed I get that way when I see long time friends, it's like when in "Igby Goes Down" his Godfathers wife tells him "Igby... lovely to see you, I could eat you with a spoon".
That's the way I feel about seeing Ida, Henrik and Gen tonight (as well as Linnea and Johanna) I could just squeeze them to death - those people belonging to a complete other part of my life than the usual one.
(I believe curious minds can find the music via www.oklahomo.dk)

*******************************

Oh well.
This is the smartest thing I thought of today:
Today is the rest-day of my life.
That's it!

*******************************

I've also thought about these smart embryos of ingenuity that other people came up with....

- Oliver said (while on the subject of pornography) that those flicks also might have helped spice up peoples sexlife, adding another dimention to the subject.
I'll be the first to admit I've never thought about that aspect of it.

- There was also this woman on the morning news who had written a book on why the Soviet Union fell apart and she made a very good point in asking "Why didn't it fall apart for all those years?" - which if answerd and ponderd upon gives a good hint about the answer to the first question at hand.

Note to self:
When you wonder "Why" something is, always ask: "Why it isn't".

*******************************

I also decided that I actually don't belive that we ever landed on the moon.
Things just doesn't add up.
I've decided on this point of veiw after giving much thought to the following:

1. Why did US and A broadcast the whole event live on television?
If the landing would have been a total disaster, it woud have meant that they would have lost the entire war 'cause the Soviet Union had already had first man (and dog) in space, so for the Americans to win they had to beat that no matter what and beating meant something along the lines of landing on the moon....
(I'd also like to add that much of what happend at that time was a show-off, like the russians having bomb-atraps in their parades when they wanted show-off their guns.)

2. No one ever went back to the moon. Why?
The moon seams like a fairly pretty place to be - just ask the man himself.

*******************************

... And speaking of space, Sweden has our first man up there now. Today he lost his monkey wrench up there while space-walking and trying to fix something.
On the telly they wondered if it would fall down on us at some point?
But it'll just circulate around earth won't it?

Words From MySpace - My real name could be Björn

I nearly collapsed yesterday and this morning when I thought about it I realized I really should have been Björn Dählie instead of myself.
If these passed couple of weeks would have been a 5 mile cross-country race I would have won Gold - collapsing on the other side of the finishing-line snivelling and sobbing all over the place.

I would also have worn a tight red body-suit.

Instead I won another medal. "Female rookie of the year".
I got it for my bowling this past season.
Actually it made me feel really proud - as if I really managed to accomplish something...

Words From MySpace - Doggy Style

Today Roxette celebrates 20 years as a band. I guess they are the only two celebrating.

Now, about that wooden dog (see previous blog)... Apparently some artist from a small Swedish city decided to decorate the roads by adding this piece of wooden dog and people enjoyed the sight of it so much that it became a trend, hence people are keeping themselves busy in their small cottages making more wooden dogs of their own - placing them everywhere.
I guess this is a sign of hope both for humankind and wooden dogs all over the world!

Words From MySpace - Somebody just pooped me

Somebody just pooped me

And so I went to Budapest to find out what life was like there. On my part it seemed pretty bizarre. Swirrling 36 C pools, retired NASA-men preforming in drag, some really lovely americans who told us that they had friends who believed that dinasours and humans excisted at the same time, some 3000 years ago.

I really enjoyed Budapest. Still, my cousin asked me: "How was Budapest compered to Prague? 'Cause we want to go somewhere, preferably with lots of christmas-feeling".
I adviced her to go to Prague, simply cause it's cozier. (smaller and perhaps less bizarre, as if christmas in itself isn't bizarre.)

Today was a crappy day, that's the price you pay for having fun. Which reminds me of these 3 ultimate truths about life I concluded some years ago.
Now, I won't go into them, all I can say is that I only could think of 3.
However I managed to bump into an old friend I haven't seen in quite some time, we had a quick coffee and then I went bowling.
I also saw this wooden dog wich made me go "???"

Words From MySpace - What Kind Of People Are You People

So I click the "download files"-button and enter whatever people want to share with us other people. Download-wise.
I'm amazed.
So far I've entered 2 jocks who had plenty of street-fighting stuff, with movies with filenames such as "a guy beating up a nigger ... cool".
There's the regular porn stuff (everywhere).
One of the guys also had several recepeies for making bombs, as did that other left-wing person whose files I looked through. That person also had lots of documents on communism, police-codes and movies on demonstrating and clips of riots.
Now, who are these people?

To my amusement I've got this Louis Theroux movie when he explores the pornographic world. It's called "Louis Theroux porn" (and lies between my L T hypnosis and L T UFO-file). Much downloaded I must add, especially during the smaller hours of the day.

Perhaps I should rename a couple of other files. Like renaming the short theme to Lovebears that I've got to "girl takes it up the ass by two guys who end up fighting over her - esculating in a Molotov-cocktail being thrown, lovely!"

That's how to go about getting real popular on the internet.

P.S. I
One of the funnier things I found was when I downloaded the L T-movie on hypnosis. That guy had P L E N T Y of things on hypnosis - how to manipulate peoples minds - and what-females-look-for-in-men-kind-of-stuff.

P.S. II
I belive there's a band called "We're only in it for the money" and here's my question: Did they come up with that namn before or after signing a reord-deal?
Or is it a more methaphoric statement about life in general?

I watched a docmentary about the Marx brothers yesterday night. Had they been invented in the 80's, they would have been named Monthy Python. Which for a moment made me think about reincarnation.
And then the moment passed.

"This moment is so great, I would have sex with it."

And...

"This moment is so great, I would cheat on that other moment from before, marry this one and raise a family of tiny little moments!"

Yes, that made me smile.

Words From MySpace - Smokin'

gave up smoking around the age of 20 and managed to stay non-smoking for 3 months. Until I caved in. I came to the conclusion that I acutually liked smoking, liked the taste, the social bennefits and the way it relaxed my body.

A couple of years later after hearing my father coughing rellay hard after 30-smothing years as a smoker. At that point I promised my self not to end up like that. At some point I knew I had to stop smoking so I decided to stop smoking befor turning 30.
30 seamed like a good age cause by then I would have smoked for half my life. Which speaks for it self. It's a long time, plenty of smoke and half a fortune. To continue 15 years more really would make me seam like a dumbass.

During the past weekend. I felt time closing in on me. "I should stop this week" I thought and then... "But this really isn't a good week to quit smoking, I've got too much to do."
Monday passed and Thuesday. And then I thought "There's never a good week to stop is there? There's always some excuse to go on smoking. One could always come up with some reason."

So, as of yesterday I gave up smoking. And I am trying realy hard to see myself as a person with one less addiction.
I am a non-smoker.
