Waiting

I'm in need of inspiration. Although booking plain tickets lifted my spirit somewhat, its's not quite happening yet. Patience they say :)

The art of relaxing

Relaxing is big business. Apparently relaxing is quite complicated..you need relaxation teas, relaxation music, relaxation courses, relaxation retreats, relaxation books, relaxation exercises. Which of course makes relaxing quite an expensive activity that needs to be planned well ahead. Turns out planning to relax can be quite stressful as you might need to save your cash, not to mention make time in your busy schedule. We all know lying down on your on couch just isn’t going to cut it...we are constantly fed information like “ you deserve better”, we need to “feed our mind and body” to be able to “free ourselves from negative energy”. Only then can we achieve “true happiness” and “inner peace”.
Those of us growing up to the knowledge that money wont buy you happiness seem to have been fooled big time. We DO need to go to that relaxation retreat, do that relaxation course, drink that relaxation tea while listening to that relaxation CD followed by a massage with relaxation oils...all of which can be purchased as part of a “do it yourself” package at the end of the stay at the special introductory offer of only $ 299..


What happened to lying down (or sitting down for that matter) and doing fuck all for an hour? To do absolutely nothing, with no one or nothing to distract you...

God forbid you got stuck with nothing but your own thoughts for a little while.

If I ever marry you

Got tickets today. 17th of May :)

The meaning of life..so simple yet at times so hard

Word.

Common sence went on holiday

I hate when people try enter the bus before anyone has had a chance to get off yet...I mean really, what's the point..it makes people upset, it creates chaos which in the end leeds to the bus leaving late and not to mention it's highly uncomfortable. Just don't.

Home is where the heart is set free

Sometimes you find yourself in a place you don't want to be

Sometimes you find yourself doing what you don't want to do

Sometimes you find yourself being someone you don't want to be

Looking in the mirror

Where to go, what to do, who to be

Then you wake up realising why you are here

Then you wake up realising why you have to hang in there for while

Then you wake up realising it's all a part of being you

Looking in the mirror

This is me, doing what I have to do to get where I want to be

I'm not going to get there tomorrow so I better make the road beautiful

Facebook birthdays

Yesterday my facebook wall was full of birthday wishes, both from people I haven't seen in years (and to be honest probably won't see in years) and from my closest friends. I loved it :)

They way I see it you can look at this scenario from two perspectives;

1. It's facebook..your birthday shows up in the right corner on the home page of all of your 500 "friends".
90 % av the people that wrote on your wall would never have remembered your birthday. (In fact probably 99 %..let's face it, most of us suck at remembering dates, no matter how important they may be)
Soo..since they only remember because the are logged on to facebook it doesnt really mean anything, since it's just a "facebook thing".

2. Yes, the date does show on all of your 500 "friends" home page. But not all 500 notice it, some people just don't pay attention to birthdays. So out of 500 maybe 300 notice that it's your birthday..out of those quite a few will go "ah well..its always someones birthday". So maybe 150 actually take the 60 seconds it takes (if that) to post a little birthday message on your page. Some do it because you are close friends (they are also expected to send a text..) but some do it because they noticed that it's your birthday, they haven't seen you in a while (maybe never will again) but think you are a nice person and therefor want to give you that one-line-60-second attention.

Me personally, I used to be the number 1....maybe I'm getting old and sentimental but I reckon option 2 is pretty cool :) Everyone that posted on my wall made the choice to do so, and for that I'm grateful. If you put a smile on someone elses face it doesn't matter how big of an effort it was..the effort was made.

Older, Wiser or Both?

One year older
Hopefully one year wiser

P.S.

Note to self...get this movie. When the trailer makes you laugh, it's gotta be good.

One of the smartest people I know said..

"Only you will understand what u really want and feel, thats why this time is good, find yourself,be who you want to be, and only then,when your happy with who you are you can be with someone else."

SkinS

The coldest day in Oslo, one of those days when the ice cold wind just cuts to your bones and once you get inside it takes forever to warm up.
Building up the courage to go back out there. First a little big beautiful song off the Skins soundtrack.

It's a new Day it's a new Life

Sometimes I wish I could press the pause button..just to make sure I felt it all, saw it all and learnt what I was supposed to learn from those moments in life that pass you by without you even noticing..

If I ever have the guts to do what these guys do I will die a happy person. I am broke..and working on the stoked part.
