Words from MySpace - For all the cows

Home again after a tour de islands. Yes, I've been to our biggest and proudest Islands to see what life's like down there.
In short it's full of cows, wine and sea.

<--------- South of Sweden.

First I went to the tiny island (Öland) across a pretty long bridge. Stayed with my grandfathers brother with wife. We talked, ate, listened to jazz and drank wine.

At one point me and the mrs went shopping and found this mail-thing where you could take a picture of yourself and make it into a card - using glitter and other fabrics.
We made this and sent to my parents:



In Öland I also became a lesbian and feel in love with 150 beautiful babes that I found in a stable across the field. Me and the mr went there looking at all the new equipment:
- The computerised milking machine, (- that cleaned their gear and measured the content of the milk).
- The back-scrather the cows leaned against.
- How the different food stands kept track of how much each cow had eaten in order not to over-feed or under-feed them.
The cows strolled around happily and when we walked towards them the bravest ones came to say 'hello'.
They have enormous heads that I never really thought of before. I got really surprised when one of them (the one closest in the picture) licked my leg.
Did you know that cows don't have teeth in the upper-jaw? Instead their tongue is really scratchy - making it easy for them to tear up the grass from bellow.



We also went to look at the kids. The cutest one snogged on my fingers as you can see.
We also saw this other fellow, stumbling in - only a couple of hours old.
I thought that it was totally amazing, the entire thing. Cows!



I took the boat to Gotland and stayed with Malin. Got invited to her neighbours for dinner... and may I recommend the host Teitur's music on www.teitur.com or on www.myspace.com/teitur. He's a singer/songwriter from the Feroe Islands.

Later that night Anna (T's girlfriend), Malin and myself went skinny dipping, slightly drunk.
It didn't feel cold.
We also took a bath the next day, not naked but in a small storm. It wasn't that we wanted to go swimming in bad weather... it just turned out that way.

Words from MySpace - Do the right thing!

I sat on the bus and way in the back there was this girl and this boy sittting.
He was being real nasty - commenting about her being a whore - that he should become a muslim 'cause they know how to treat their women.

I felt uncomfortable.
In the back of my eye looking at this girl. She was totaly wasted, drunk or what-have-you.

As the bus came closer to my stop I decided I had to do something. You can't just sit there.
So I found a piece of paper and a pen and I wrote her a note saying that I wanted her to call if anything happend. I was scared that those boys might do something bad.
As I left the bus I handed her the note.

Just as I got of the bus my phone rang, it was the guy.
He said: "I appriciate your concern about my girlfriend but we're just arguing".
I said the above; that you can't just leave people who might be in danger and not do anything.
He wondered if I thought they where bad imigrants. "That has nothing to do with it, but you should take care f your girlfriend and if you take care of her, she'll pobably take care of you."
The guy said "Ok! Anyway I just wanted to thank you for the concern, but things are fine."

Yes.. I listend to "Man in the mirror" lots of times when I grew up.

Words from MySpace - God & Pärlemor



Teacher: What are you drawing?

Kid: I'm drawing a picture of God!

Teacher: But you can't draw God, no one knows what he looks like.

Kid: Oh. Well... I guess they'll know as soon as I'm done.



Swedish word of the day:

PÄRLEMOR (perlemor) = Pearlymother (But meaning: "Nacre")
