Benrik diaries - Solen i blicken

Bästa promenadskorna på och solen i blicken...
... vi kommer att gå långt.

I don't know how to translate that.
Just felt like writing it down/being poetic.


Tasking:
Lend my mobile to an homeless person.
I've decided on doing this later.


I had a meeting with my boss today.
I'd give him a weak 9 out of 10 - for all the ways he reminds me of Charlie Brown.

Went to a picnic this weekend. Indoors (as seen in the the picture).
The picnic had a soundtrack - all of us went home with a CD that included a summersong that each perticipent had contributed with. I took Miriam Makebe - Pata, pata. "Ubasapp, weeiosapp, umapasapp.. eeeiiiooo..." You know.
Someone else took Jenny Wilson, Lordi, California love & african rhythms.
The night was a success...

Off to the doctor soon. Nadal playes Robin Söderling later. I might have a beer with some buddies from work.

Oh... but I learned a new word Omnivagant.
Omnivagant - \Om*niv"a*gant\, a. [Omni + L. vagans, p. pr. of vagari to wander.] Wandering anywhere and everywhere. [R.]
As an alternative to Ambivilent.

There you go! : )

Benrik diaries - On God

People who work in book-shops are the strangest people.
Everyone’s related to “rainman” in one way or the other. Around 40, receding hair-line, fast talkers, always nervous. Fumbly.
I don’t know what they want, but I wonder.

Play God.
"God denotes a deity who is believed by monotheists to be the sole creator and ruler of the universe."

I always picture God chilling amongst the clouds. Grapes, angels and stuff. He doesn’t keep track of people. There’s just too many of us but I bet he suffers from enormous guilt-trips, cause of that day… when he didn’t have anything to do, he was bored as hell and decided to create things and now he’s like “Fuck… what was I thinking???”, hence all the chilling.
Or maybe he’s enjoying watching the greatest reality show ever.

Who knows about God anyway?

Other:
I thought I’d post a picture from this weekend but I can’t seem to get a hold of it and now and I’ve got this meeting to attend. One of those fun ones. Wihaa!

Benrik diaries - File of complaint

This weeks task reaches a 9 on a scale of 10 in stupidity. (A 10 would be that dogging Jehovah’s-thing.)

I’m against both dieting and aversion, and who ever invented either… I hoped he/she died of acute under-nourishment or lies forgotten and overweight in a warm mid-west attic, gasping for air or at least anything with chocolate. : )



Other - Phone conversation of the day:
A man calls asking for his daughter named something Nordin (common name).
- No you've reached XX XXX (me) and I work at XXX (place for extensive explanation).
The man turns quiet and confused, continues: "But I got this number when I called her other phone."
- Oh, I'm sorry but you must have the wrong number, unless I'm your daughter and that's not very likely is it?
He grumbles. - No
- Ok then.

Sometimes I just have to love it when people dial the wrong number.
Which reminds me. A couple of weeks ago I made on of those phone calls myself and the guy answered “Sylvester Stallone!” as if he was expecting a phone call from someone he knew very well.
“I wanted to speak to Anna but it seams I dialled the wrong number.” Quetly I laughed at this point.
“Yes, I think so” he said, not sounding quite as perky as he did when he first answered...

I still remember which number I dialled wrong.
Want Sylvester Stallones number… anyone?

Benrik diaries - Hostage-situation

A couple of nights ago, just before going to sleep I reached a level of enormous insight and I actually remebered what it was the day afterwards, without having to write it down.
For 5 ballubas I'll tell you what it was.

Holding great thoughts hostage am I?
And she couldn't possibly have looked more innocent.


Other than that I've kidnapped myself and gone to London - visiting my boy.

London files:

1. Went to Ed's and waited for Vince Vega to come 'round. They played that "Venus"-song that I don't like. ( = not the Bananarama one).
How did they ever manage to come up with such a stupid name for a band as Bananarama?
It's almost an effort.
Vince Vega never showed, the son of a...

Terminator, kidnapping and prostitution

Tasking:
I tried to find some statistics on kidnappings in Sweden.
Apparently there’s only been like twelve of them, ever. It’s regarded as being a fairly stupid crime to commit.
My momma didn’t raise no fool.

I had dinner with friends.
Feels like summer and they’re showing T3 on the telly now. Haven’t seen it since it first came out.
My belly hurts.

At dinner we had an interesting conversation about how you gender-specify things who’s not male or female. Like I would say that a regular banana is female, while an apple is male. The alphabetical letter A is male, B is female.
This makes absolutely no sense at all, but still…
And we wondered about how that part of the brain works? What does it base this classification on? (We also concluded that there’s gender-less stuff.)

T3 is a very masculine movie, isn’t it?
Powerful men with big guns and the governor of California.
Which reminds me... I watched a documentary (and other things) about John Holmes.
His brother had this to say about him:
Basically all John was were a prostitute with a nasty drug-habit and a big dick.
Cutting it short.

Benrik diaries - Them Stones

I’m a Virgo and in a very un-virgo-like manner I asked my co-worker to describe a typical Virgo.
She answered that she didn’t know anything about astrology.
”Well I don’t care!” I said.
And that’s when she described a Virgo as being: Friendly and dreamy.
So I aim to be unfriendly and grounded as a stone.


On a different note... today I heard about some guy who ate hundreds of chips and graded each one of them according to taste, shape, colour... That’s like the light version of that French postman who gathered stones each day during his round only to build himself a castle.

And so… we’re back on them stones again.
Did you know that Mick Jagger motivated his nicking of Jerry Hall from Bryan Ferry with: ”Well, someone had to save her from becoming Jerry Ferry.”

I better get back to my laundry.

QX diaries - Relationships

I could tell you amazing storys about relationships that should have been.

But then we'd be here all night.
