thoughts in darkest of November

I sit at my table, drawing in black and white, some vision I had from one of the Ghosts, prob nr 36, or maybe nr 19 ..... DeMo sings: "can you feel ... dream on", and for once it´s not a computorized sound, but guitars and voices, "Can you feel, a little love ..."

I wish I had an interest for something that could make me rise, from down here in my chair, here in my work-shop-like livingroom, where I spend most of my time, with my computer or with artworking. Yes, I should have had an interest with a movement in it, like skiing or jumping or swimming, or dancing ... I like that last one, but to find some guys company me to the Nine Inch Nails is totally impossible, so I pass that one. I might have a go with DeMo instead, perhaps more luck there ... Well, I sit at my table a picture is taking shape on my pad, it´s black and white and have some sort of steps, stairways, or it hasn´t, I heard them in a song, nr 36 or was in nr 19, memory fails, whatever. My back aches, I just sit here, too much. I wish I hadn´t all these small dots of emotions in my head, thoughts I guess they call them, I wish maybe, I was a dancer or a "fool" with wings ... cause that´s what they say it takes sometimes, to remain sane.

YouTube clip above I actually posted when thinking about a blog-acquaintance I have, I hope it will be of some interest to her. Could give a good laugh to watch young Swedish rockstars when you´re used to the rough Americans, good laughs are good and needed, aren´t they. Take care Justmerimaat, and keep in flux.

Strange move ... ment

It was strange, I never set the alarm, I decided to to rise as usual.

I woke up! At about 4.30 am I woke up, the clock had silence in my bedroom, still I was immediately anxiuos to hear about the results from the presidental election. Wow ....
I sat down in front of the TV and it was on in three different Swedish channels, so called competent reporters and other people discussed this, maybe, so called historical event. About 5.10 am lokal time the final result was presented, Obama was clearly the winner. I thought about waiting for his speech but I was really tired, so I went back to sleep.

My alarm got of at 7 am, I got up, shoke my daughter awake, and put the TV on again. This time I was really moved, tears fell down my cheek, this is so great! Let´s just hope he will have the guts to do all these things he believes in, at least most of them. We already have hopes for a better world, and Barack Obama has a heavy commision, the world is demanding, the Americans are demanding. I wish him good luck, he´ll need it.

Perspective

It´s interesting to see, how we all have different perspective, due to our needs, our situations and our health, what´s even more important, due to tradition.
I laugh sometimes when I see words, words look funny and are amusing to pronounce, as long as they have no meaning, to me, some words have meaning and others don´t, as I saw the english word sloppy and learned it meant something kind of unpleasant ... to me it looks like something nice, you know, puppy, poppy or happy, or maybe slippery or slope. :-) To me they are just letters creating words ... creating sense to things. To an english thinker, the visual experience I have is probably none existing, ´cause the words have to much of a sense of context, that may conceal the vision, the free vision without valuation. Once I read recurring ailment, to me that looks like something spicy coming from an alien ;-), well, I know the correct meaning, never the less, it´s sometimes fun to try and look upon matters with a free thought, to find new experiences.

I listened to an American lady in Washinton DC, she was a republican and attended in an intervju with a Swedish reporter. She said, "Sen.Obama, he´s a socialist, he´s bad, but as you´re Swedish you´d probably like him". To me, as a Swedish citizen, I just don´t get her at all, to me Sen.Obama is a very conservative man, he´s way too far to the right than any of our most conservative politicians in Sweden. And, Sweden is certainly not a socialist country, at least to me it isn´t, I work for a socialist party and we are in a clear minority and get a lot of crap talk aginst us. See, it has to do with perspectives.

We all follow the elections in USA, at the moment, I haven´t yet decided wether I´ll use the alarm-clock tonight and find out about the result in time, or if I´ll just rest in peace until morning and find myself waking up in an other world, together with the avarage Swedish citizens. My friends are already bored with this serial, it has been in my blog since springtime this year, but I believe the outcome is very important to the whole world, USA is a big and powerful nation, I can´t but hope the Amercian citizens are a bit aware of that, they have the power ... we have not.
