All of a sudden ..

 I decided to write on one of my old Blogger blogs. Wonder what happened?

Well, I´m at the moment doing pretty well, in a good mood and I have one or two things to do to keep me occupied. There has been a lot of illnes, a couple of times in and out of hospital, but today things have calmed down a  bit. 

I restart this by posting some pictures. What else can I do.  😊

Haven´t posted anything new on this blog lately. It´s still here and you never know...

Wolfsheim - Sleep Somehow (live)

totally pointless

I actually saw Avatar, the movie, at the Movies ... big kinda auditorium with lots of quite comfortable chairs, to hang out in while watching a two and a half hour long movie together with a bunch of unknown people, about fifty of them this particular evening. *sigh* ... why do you do some of the things you do? Really... Somewhere I´d read something about this Avatar and had come to the belief that this was a movie worth watching, it was supposed to be a contribution to the environmental debate, it was supposed to show the consequenses when you severely exploit nature.

Well yeah, maybe it did, but the whole thing developed into some thick fairytale filled up with cliché characters, so unbelievebly dull. One typical hero, one typical heroine, one typical moron evil bad kind of guy with a certain need to kill everything that moved, including big trees ....

I ended up doing this for my daughter, and that was a reason better than most, but I was disappointed because I had expectations, which I´d already known but forgotten about not to have, and now again learned not to have when going to the movies ... *breathing* ... paying about 15 dollars a head for being bored, which has been one of the reasons why I haven´t been to the movies since I don´t know for how long, like for several years or decades even ... wow....

... well now I´ve been there and daughter is very pleased and my mates on Facebook compare it, Avatar, with the Pocahontas movie by Disney and that´s not a very far fetched comparison if I may say, and thanks to that I had myself a totally pointless blogpost this late evening. Not too bad.

I don´t know how people manage, in general, me when too many necessary tasks pile up in front of me I kind of shut down, I turn my back on everything and walk away, mentally that is, I try to waste my resources on something else, because I just can´t cope with all these stuff that has to be done it smothers me ... and I sometimes visit the blogsphere.

To me I guess it wouldn´t at all be an effort, at least not a big one, to compose a personal blog and mumble about my thoughts and dreams and undoes and things I never achieved in life. There would be no need for ingenious endings, or new turns just for entertainment or to make the reader think again, and no need to highlighten interesting newsbulletins ... only one perpetual and intimate exposure of my life, straight from my head, how refresching!

But for some reason I want my blog to be, personal of course, but also of common interest to others, I want to write about things that make people think about things that matters ... (whatever that is you ask..). "sigh" Well yeah, things that matters, who´d really wanna know about my going over things again and again in my miserable and failure of a life, if I do that my readers will get bored and there will uprise a lack of interest ... at least that´s what I thought when I started blogging about two years ago. Little did I know.

I use Facebook, and in my status when I tell everyone what we had for dinner, or about an aching tooth, or about some poor TV-show, that´s when I get comments record! I posted a YouTube-clip with Amanda Palmer singing Hurt (by NIN), not one bloody comment, disappointed. I posted some words about how I rummaged around in my walk in wardrobe the other day, to find warm clothes I hadn´t worn for years, the outside temperature was 17 below (celcius) and I severely wanted to go for a walk, then I had several comments on that and it transfered into some weather discussion. That´s what people seem to care about, personal stuff and the weather. Comments on my blogs are almost totally non existing, and when they do appear it´s when you expect them the least.

some desk grafitti

What am I getting at here, well, at the end of the day people really seem to have a bigger interest in my personal life and doings, and other peoples personal life and doings, and celebrities life and doings and loveaffairs and wearings ... as in clothes, or not wearings for that matter, than in political questions and their enviroment, they´re not interested in their own future, only we´re good right here and now then everyone´s relieved and pleased.

But don´t you worry, I will never create an althrough personal and intimite blog ... though I sometimes enjoy reading them just to turn my back against my own boring must do pile. :-) ...me too, I need to get away and dive deep into other peoples lives, that´s a phenomenon that would be really interesting to discuss, maybe it will appear in the Facebook-stream one day

contribution global warming debate

Global warming addapted water, rain and flood-Santa. (or something like that...)

about peace or war

I came over this statement, we end war, or war ends us:

Congressman Kucinich's Response to President Obama's "Just War" Doctrine
Friday, 11 December 2009
(December 10, 2009) Congressman Kucinich will introduce legislation to address bonus payments to employees of banks that received taxpayers' monies for financial bailouts. The Congressman released the following statement:

"Yesterday, our president mused about the inevitability of war, war's instrumentality in the pursuit of peace and just wars. It is important for us to reflect on his words, because once we believe in the inevitability of war, war becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Once we are committed to war's instrumentality in pursuit of peace, we begin the Orwellian journey to the semantic netherworld where War IS Peace, where the momentum of war overwhelms hopes for peace. And once we wrap doctrines perpetuating war in the arms of justice, we can easily legitimate the wholesale slaughter of innocents. The war against Iraq was based on lies. Wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan are based on flawed doctrines of counter-insurgency. War is often not just; sometimes it is just war. And our ability to rethink the terms of our existence, to explore the possibility of peace without war, may well determine whether we end war, or war ends us."

Just a couple of pictures to share, hope my readers will notice we´re waiting for Christmas to come.

probably

If I had my home somewhere near San Diego, I´d probably visit this exhibition. http://uag.ucsd.edu/exhibitions/2009/09_offthebeatenpath.shtml


Had the idea from Yoko Ono´s Twitter.

Now I don´t live anywhere near there, not even in California nor in the US, it might just arrive into Europe one day...or I have to be pleased to know I saw one of Yoko´s the other year, in Stockholm ... and that beats about everything.

Colour makes autumn a little bit more ...

Would this be alright on World Vegan Day, the 1st of November, this was before ...




...and this was after.

I really like colourful dining, :-)) it may just make you feel a little bit more enthusiastic about life, during these dark months ahead.

This is not very nice to read, though I´ve heard about it earlier, from Trent Reznors tweets I think it was or it may have been on the NIN page. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/22/politics/main5409256.shtml

This very day it was on the Swedish news, saying there are artists like Britney Spears, Eminem and David Gray also had their music used at Gitmo. Swedish artists want to take action, at least indicate it´s wrong by charging STIM-money, (SwedishComposersInternationalMusicagency), meaning they want to get payed when their music is of official use, thus attract attention to the question an show that they are aware.
