Achtung x-mas


Happy Christmas and Good New Year to ye all bloggies!


I know i haven´t been posting much lately, but that is because i have a hectic time in my life right now.

We have alot of work to do and when i come home i´m too tired to update the blog. I just check what i have downloaded and then watch some tv or sometimes game a little bit.

Anyway, i wish you all nice x-mas and if don´t post anything before new years then have a great new years eve too! ^_^

Here´s some pix i took yesterday on the Liseberg (a amusment park in Gothenburg) christmas market with my cell phone (a Sony Ericsson K750i).

...no topic...

On Saturday me and mom where in town to do some shopping and all of a sudden she said:

"Oh, no look!" and she pointed towards some news headliner posted on a kiosk

When i looked i saw that the Swedish comedian Micke "Svullo" Dubios had killed himself.

Very sad, very very sad.

I was a fan of him. But i didn´t had a chance to see all his stuff when it was aired on TV, but i think i he was very funny, you never knew what he was up to.

I still borrow his first CD, from my brother every now and then, "För Fet" with the hit song "För fet för ett fuck" (translated into english: "To fat for a fuck").




Micke "Svullo" Dubios
1959-2005


Ride on Micke, wherever you are. You will be missed but not forgotten.

"You´re momma ate my dog!!"

"Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to
do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you

You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done

So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all..."

. . . .

i love rain and thunder, i like rain without thunder and thunder without rain, and i love the lightning most of this...

i don´t know why, but i find rain sometimes really soothing, like balsam for my soul...

and the thunder & lightning is soo cosy.

when i was younger my mom told me not to tease the lightning, i can´t remember what she said would happen if i did, and of course like the curious kid i was i one day when it was thunder and lightning outside i started to tease the lightning...

and suddenly the lightning the lightning struck down not far away from me...i never teased the lightning again, and my respect for the thunder and lightning grew.

since that day i have been very interested in lightning. often when i hear thunder and see the lightning i wanna climb the highest mountain so i can be able to see the lightning better.

. . . .


so what has happened since the last post then, and is this blog dead or what??

well ALOT has happened and NO this blog isn´t dead at all. the problem is just that everytime i´ve tried to post anything i felt

"- Naah, don´t feel like it. I´ll post when i came up with more to write..."


so what has acutally happened since like a month ago (or something like that)...

here´s a quickie:

* mom bought a house and moved in
(had to help her out there)

* i finished CoD 2 (Call of Duty 2)

* i´ve been working my ass off
(as usual>

* i´ve been helping mom out with her house

* i´ve been trying to fix up a new template for the blog
(but no luck)


sure i dosen´t sound like that much, but the time has gone so fast i sometimes wonder what date it is...

as i said i finished CoD 2 (i only played it through once, gonna start again soon but on a higher level).

so what do i think of the game then??

well, CoD 2 is fun to play and the grapichs is really good, but it´s too short and repetive.

on almost every "level"(?) it´s the same;

take over the place the germans have

defend the place you´ve just taken over from the storming germans



ok, the whole game isn´t just taking over and defending the places around, the y have put in some really fun "driving-tank" "levels"

the controls i can´t complain over since i´m able to adjust the buttons as i want (witch i couldn´t in Sniper Elite).

the A.I. (artificial intelligence) of the comrades is good but it could have been better. many times i have died because i have trown a grenade and just the second before a comrade has come up just in front of me and blocking my throw and the grenade ended up bouncing back to me.

the enemies are smarter and use crates and other stuff to hide, and if they get close they can be really dangerous since the like to smash ppl. with the back of the gun.

what i really dislike is the health meter. or should i say the lack of a health meter.

when you get hit the screen goes red, and if you get hit too much the screen goes even more red and a text appears that warns you that you´re getting hit.

it was kinda cool i the beginning but after a while i got tired of it and missed the health meter.

what about online?

Call of Duty 2 online is cool, but i´m disappointed at the maps...they are just re-makes of the old maps. new grapichs and some new stuff, but still come on.

WE WANT NEW MAPS!

but it´s fun to play anywho, and it´s working fine...

. . . .


i re-discovered how good Coldplay and Kanye West is some weeks ago. i downloaded Coldplay´s "X & Y" and Kanye West´s "Late Registration" and have been listening to them almost continusly since then...

defently two albums worth buying when i´m gonna head out to buy cd´s.

. . . .


aah, friday today...feels good, but i´m sooo tired here i can fall alseep on the keyboard... ;- P

The End

and so the end has come to what i believe is one of the best sci-fi stories ever made on film is over.

it started out in 1977, the year i was born and ended in 2005. it lasted for 28 years...

what am i talking about?


Star Wars: Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith


i saw it tonight, and as many of the other fans had said i say also, this is the best one of the three "new" Star Wars movies that came.

i was worried when i saw "The Phantom Menace", and when i saw "Attack of the clones" i kinda lost interest of "Star Wars" but then last weekend they aired "Attack of the clones" on TV and i sat down and i felt how the force grew back in me.


and now i have finally seen the last episode. i think that George Lucas weaved it all togheter very nicely, and especially the end was good. i was thinking alot of what happened to Anakin Skywalker and how he got into that black outfit.



i quote The Doors:

"This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
"

welcome to the night

oh crap it happened again...

i was going to blogger to write a new post and i find this blog called "Vardagsfrenesi" and from there i got to another blog called, "Sex & Göteborg" and i forgot what i was gonna write about...

so you'll have to stick with some linx until i can remember what i was gonna write about...

. . . .

btw. i talked to my mom yesterday about the woman that died in her house...she didn't die in the bedroom but in the living room instead (where my had been sleeping).

and she died calmly with her husband near.

i remember when i stepped into the house for the first time, when i came into the bedroom and saw all the pictures he had of her in there. that was really sad, and i couldn't stay there for long.

just another blog title

i början så var ensamheten värst. efter att ha levt ihop i ett par månader så var man van vid att Hon alltid fanns där.

och nu helt plötsligt så är det så tyst. jag kände att jag höll på att bli galen.

jag visste inte vad jag skulle göra, vad jag skulle ta mig till.

det var enormt jobbigt.

och nu efter att det har gått 3 månader, så är det inte ensamheten som är knäckande, utan den är avsaknaden av sex. jag märker jag att jag börjar att glömma hur det känns att ha sex...tror jag iaf...

och det kommer att dröja ca. ytterligare 3 månader innan jag träffar Henne igen...

och sen efter det tar det 5 månader innan vi kan flytta ihop.

. . . .


lately i've had problems watching a whole movie...i have been starting up a movie only to fall asleep or something else come up that i have to do and i shut it off thinking i will finish it later some day but i never do.

yesterday it happened again. i was watching "Fight Club" (for like the fourth time i think) and after a while i shut it off because the grrlfriend called me, and we talked for a while.

after a while i looked at the clock and noticed it was kinda late already and i have a early week this week (that means that i have to get up at like 06.00 in the morning), i knew that i wouldn't be able to watch the whole thing so i just shut it off thinking (again) that i will watch it later.

. . . .


this weekend i helped my mom to move into her new house. and my brother was so kind enough to tell her that the place is haunted.

the house was previously owned by a old man and his wife that was said by my brother that she died in the bedroom. the possibility of that she actually died in the house i can believe, but the fact she is haunting the place i don't really believe.


note fyi: i believe that ghosts exists, but i never seen one. i have no idea how i would react if i would actually meet one.


my brother told me that the house was haunted before he told my mom and i asked him not to tell my mom that, but he just said "no, she must now what she has to deal with". and the thing with my mom is that she is very superstitious. she never allowed me to have a cactus when i was younger (and if i get one now she won't visit me), she NEVER leaves the keys on the table and so on...

therefore i thought that telling her that her newly bought house is haunted is very unnecessary and will just frighten her.

and it did.

i told my mom when we were alone that i didn't believe that the place was haunted at all, and she shouldn't believe my brother at all on this.

after we had dinner and the rest was outside to start moving in things again i was alone in the house i said "to the house" that i love my mom very much and i want her to be happy and this is her house now and the house should be nice to her.

i didn't tell my mom, my brother, my uncle or anyone else for that matter what i had said to the house, cause they will only think i am crazy or something.

when we were finished with moving in the stuff my mom said she didn't want to sleep in the sleeping room because it was full of boxes...the real reason as i see it was because she was still afraid. but on sunday i met up with her again and she said she had a dream that a woman had peeked in and said she was very much welcome to the house, and she seemed a bit happier.

maybe the place is haunted, and maybe the house listened to what i said...in any case i just hope the best for my mom now and i wish that she will be happy out there since this has been one of her dreams, to own a house again.

. . . .


a while ago i put in Pearl Jam's album "Ten" in the mp3 player and re-discovered how great it is.

no wonder they got big at that time, that album kicks ass! i just wish i had known that earlier so i could have caught a concert with them. they haven't been to Sweden for years...sadly.

favorite song?? ooh, hard...hmm..."Jeremy", "Garden" is so good and "Even Flow" is just some of many good song there.

it's so cool to pick up an album you haven't listened to for a long time and re-discover what was so good about it.

but sometimes you discover that an album you listened to alot wasn't that good after all and you start to wonder why you listened to that band at all...

Wierd dreams - Tribute to H.P. Lovecraft

the night to wednesday i had a wierd dream again...

i was dreaming i was in Mallorca (i think it was) and there i met a girl there and we "fooled" around...

what does this really mean??

i mean i am going to my grrlfriend in Israel in march 2006, but that´s Israel...and sure i book cars for rent sometimes in Mallorca, but i have never been there and i´m not planning om going there...

when i was going to work today i think i know where i got Mallorca from. i was reading this free newspaper, Metro, yesterday and they had a huge advert about going to Mallorca and those islands around there, so that could have been where i got that from. but where the girl came from, and who she was i have no idea at all!

. . . .


this night i had another wierd dream, but i just can´t remember it good enough to put into words...

maybe all these dreams has to do with i´m started to read H.P. Lovecraft´s books again.

a couple of years ago i read ALOT of books by him and one night i woke up from one of my strange dreams and i just had to draw a picture i had in my head. i knew that if i didn´t do it it just wouldn´t let go.

i still have the picture at home, but i don´t have a scanner so i can´t upload it...

another wierd dream that also has to do with H.P. Lovecraft´s books, is one that i had some years ago too. it was in the same row when i read the books written by Mr. Lovecraft, i was dreaming i was chased by Cthulhu.

i was in a old cabin somewhere (i think in Great Britain somewhere) studying some old books, and all of a sudden i can hear these men screaming, and i look outside and i see them come running down a hill with torches in their hands.

i felt that something was terribly wrong and suddely i saw something moving, i couldn´t tell what it was but i felt the evil so i started running away too.

i looked behind me and i saw Cthulhu...


and that´s where i don´t remember anymore of the dream. i have no idea if i managed to escape Cthulhu or not...but i was so scared by the dream that i stopped reading Lovecraft for many years.

but i never stopped wondering about the dream, was it a warning to me to stop before i become mad just like the people in Lovecrafts books?

i never stopped wanting to read his books either since i think he´s one of the best horror writers out there.

and now i have got back to read his books again...

so we´ll see if Cthulhu or the other gods that shouldn´t be named will appear in my dreams...

. . . .


everyday before i log into Blogger i check out some blogs that Blogger annouces that has been recently updated.

sometimes i find some interesting blogs to read and sometimes not...today i have been blog surfing again (as usual) and found some interesting blogs that will try to check out more and follow, you can find them in the linx of interest section at the end of todays entry.

. . . .


today i got 2 funny sms messages from my grrlfriend:

She: "I love you so much, it´s not even funny" - i found this quite funny, and still do.

Me: "Well, what can i say? Oy vei!"

She: "When did you become so Jewish?" ^_^


well, don´t have much else to say now. waiting for Call of Duty 2 to be released...and while i´m doing that i´m playing Sniper Elite, watch tv & work...

Visa Röster - "Comic Bakery"

last week i said i was gonna try to see how many bookings i make in one day, so i could give you a "so so" number of how much i would make extra each month with this raise we will get with each booking...

i did try, but it called to much so i kinda lost track of how many calls i had and how many bookings i did and so on, so i lost track of it..but i managed to get some stats at least:

Incoming calls: about 29 calls (until i lost track)
Bookings made: about 16 bookings (until i lost track)
Changes made in bookings: 6 (until lost i track) - this isn´t that interesting since this won´t count for me as a booking.

Ok, so let´s say each booking goes through (that the customer uses, cancellation of bookings won´t count) i will get 3 skr (swedish krons).

I had (until i lost track) 16 bookings made, take that number and multiply it with three (16 bookings * 3 skr) and we´ll get 48 skr (swedish krons) extra in one day.

Let´s say i have 16 bookings in each day for one month, 22 days (i have left out the weekends) that would be (48 skr * 22 days) 1056 skr (swedish krons) each month extra in payment.

That is very cool if it would be that, the boss said that we´ll problaby end up at like 800-1000 skr each month. No one will earn less, just more.

There has to be a catch you say??

Yes of course there is...i have to work more = P

And the customer has to pickup and use the car as i wrote earlier, if a customer cancels it won´t count in for me.

note: i will make more than 16 bookings per day...

. . . .


This weekend i tried to watch Mr. & Mrs. Smith but i was so crappy i had to turn it off. I never thought it would be a good movie but i thought it would be an ok movie to see while you eat dinner at least...god i was wrong.

I also tried out a new game this weekend, Sniper Elite (for PC). And it´s not bad at all. Ok, sure it´s not the most good looking game you´ll ever see, but it´s definitely worth a look if you are into stealth/sniping games, and how many sniping games are there??

What really annoys me is that you can´t program all of the controls just as You want it, yes you can modify some of the buttons but some are stuck and you can´t change them.

For example.

Strafe left/right is stuck to button A and B
Scope mode is stuck to the space bar button

and so on...

But if you look away from this it´s a cool game. You are a sniper in the second world war (WWII) and you have to sneak up and take out certain targets. So far i had missions that included to go and rescue a wounded man and take him back to safer grounds, to blow up tanks, to cover for ppl. that would take over a ammunition depot.

What´s cool about this game is when you aim for let´s say the head and you shoot, if you aimed right (and from far away) you will sometimes follow the bullet and see where it hits (yes, you can turn this camera option off).

As you are sniper you sometimes need to aim from far and when you breathe i can be hard to hold the rifle still. There is a button that makes the person you game as release his breath, depending on difficulty you set up this will last longer if you play as a rookie (about 25 seconds) than if you play as a expert (10 seconds), this helps out alot and it adds difficulty (in a good way) to the game.

A cool thing about this game is if you shoot too many times from the same place they (the enemies) will know where you are and come there to "take care" of you. And if you shot someone in let´s say the arm and he lies on the ground a soldier friend will come to carry him away.

To give you a hint about the grapichs of the game i can compare it to Call of Duty. Not bad, but as i said the most beatiful game you´ll see. But i think it works for me. (hey, rhyme man! *LoL*)

If i only could change the strafe buttons it would be so much better...

. . . .


I also downloaded Quake 4 and Shadow of the Colossus a.k.a. Wanda and the Colossus a.k.a. Ico II so i have them to try out too...

Too many games and too little time...

. . . .


soon my mom will move to her new house and i have to help her to move (of course), only good thing about that is that i get free lunch.

moms food is always the best...well most of the times at least...

some x-tra stuff to add to todays entry

i finally found some songs by the swedish a capella band called Visa Röster. and my god they are wonderful!

they do some vocal versions of some classic C-64 SID music tunes and they do it well i can promise you that!

if you want to listen to some of their wonderful music check out the C-64 Audio site out or go to their web page:

C-64 Audio

iI also found a band called 8-Bit Weapon that had some cool music. you could actually donwload his whole remix album for free over here:

8 Bit Weapon

well, that´s all i wanted to say...


and oh yeah!: the pizza´s we had ordered in for our meeting was 40 mins. too late even though we called in 3 hours before and ordered(!!)

and oh yeah x2!: i will get a kinda money raise in 3 months as a test...for every car booking that goes through we (me and my co-workers) will get 3 swedish krons extra...don´t sound that much...well i have to get back to you and count how many bookings i make in a day...

but i think i will end up at atleast 500 swedish krons extra/month...i hope.

why does the bed has to so warm and nice when you need to get up??

i always find that nice position to sleep in, the pillow is just right and the bedsheets are warm.

. . . .

i´m so tired today...and we have to have another stupid personal meeting tonight...*sigh*

. . . .

went to the library to see if i could find any books to read...i had no idea what to look for so i just did a search for one of my favorite writers H.P. Lovecraft. If you don´t know who he is, he´s one of the best horror writers i´ve ever come across. He lived in Great Britain in the early 1900´s and wrote stories about monsters that lived long before the humans did.

Read his books if you are into horror, they are really good!

Anyway, so i just made a search to see if they had any book i haven´t read by him. I found "Dagon" witch i have as a pocket version, but never read through.

After looking some more i found "Douglas Adam´s The Starship Titanic".

I borrowed the both and went to the tram to take me back to work, i stood there and was just thinking away "how big space is" and that kinds of things when i saw this man peeing in a garbage can.

No one seemed to see him, even though the garbage can was in the middle of the street, next to a tram stop. And he didn´t seem to care either, it looked like it wasn´t the first time he did it.

When you think about it, it was nice of him not to pee in a doorway/hallway, or in the street somewhere or in the bus/tram stop "cabin" / "house" thingy.

But on the other hand i feel sorry for the person that has to change the garbage bag there...or think of the persons that are searching for cans and bottles to recycle them for money...uuuuh!!

. . . .

Well, now it´s time for the meeting. We have ordered some pizza from the same slobby place...uck...

another brick in the wall

"another brick in the wall"...that´s how i feel today...just another f*cking brick in this damn wall...

i came think this morning about what one of my colleagues said last week, he said that the boss never encourage us after we have taken some calls (note: ALOT of calls) or something.

he is always saying "there is a queue now, more on the phone", "get your uniform on, the BIG boss is coming" and so on and so forth...

NEVER a little "great job this week" or "you took nicely care of that queue" or something else...so i just feel like a f*ucking brick in the wall.

i don´t feel like i make a difference, like my job means something...sometimes i just feel like going to my boss and say:

"F*ck you! I´m quitting and YOU are the reason!"

but then again...i have a job, and i´ve been here for soon 1 year. But that´s only because of my colleagues.

. . . .

This weekend a new computer store opened...i queued for 1½ hour to get to the cashier...but i think it was worth it.

Did i buy anything special? No, not really...more RAM memory only. So now my baby has 1 GB of RAM and won´t forget me so easily. ; )

. . . .

I started to go through CoD: United Offensive again this weekend. But this time i set toughness higher...and some levels are really hard!

Like the level when you´re in the house and all of a sudden you are supposed to protect Sg. Moody...

Damn, that was hard! I died like 5 or 6 times before i finally found out where he is. And when i had that figured out i died like 10 or 15 times before i managed to find a strategy that wouldn´t get him or me killed.

. . . .

I feel sick...i´ve felt like this the last few mornings last week to, and always after i ate breakfast...i felt like i was gonna puke. And today i met one of my norweigan colleagues and she said it can be because i´m tired.

So now i have to find out a way to not feel sick...the best thing would be not to start out so early in the morning (but i can´t choose so that idea isn´t any good).

. . . .

this morning we didn´t had that much to do, so i surfed around some and after some blogsurfing i found a site with some different funny personality tests...

Blogthings

i think i took about 10 or 15 different tests...here are some of the results i got:

You Are 50% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it!

This is so true! I later took the test again, and ended up at 70% wierd...but that didn´t really suit me as i see it. ; )


Your Japanese Name Is...

Keitaro Hosokoawa


This was just fun...
Keitaro...he he, just like one of the characters in Love Hina(!!) Me so happy! : )

Your Pimp Name Is...

White Chocolate Love


He he he, no comment needed as i see it... ; )

. . . .

Well, maybe time to work some so the boss won´t suspect i´m lazy ; )

Ice Cube - "Today was a good day"

Friday…finally!

I don´t really have any plans for the weekend except going to Ikea to look for a lamp in my living room and to sleeeep some…

. . . .

I´m so envious of the norweigan side of my job…the norweigans have some special holiday and therefore they don´t have much to do.

On the swedish side we have too much to do, as you can see that this blog hasn´t been updated since saturday(?)…

. . . .

On monday morning i got back the “lock” in my left ear that had been gone a while (see previous posts) and now it started to irritate me again.

I had some ear solution that i tried out and they helped me out...a little while…

And i had a very hectic week…I think it was on the night to tuesday i turned for some weird reason off my alarm clock and i woke up too late so i came to work like 1½ hour too late.

On the night between tuesday and wednesday i woke up around 04.00 and i couldn´t sleep because of that “lock” in my ear. I tried to put some more of that ear solution i got, but it wouldn´t help at all…I decided then that this was enough and that i was going to the doctor to find out about this.

I went there yesterday and got to know that my inner ear was irritated and i got some special ear drops and some antibiotic pills to eat.

So now i have to cancel the concert i had planned (The Kristet Utseende (a swedish rock band…no they are not christians even though they are called so) was gonna play in Gothenburg), and a co-worker asked me if i wanted to go to the movies with him but i said i couldn´t because of this ear problem i have.

Me and the grrlfriend was starting to plan my next trip to Israel, and I had to run around to different travel agencies to find some good prices…


I hope the next one will be more calm…

. . . .

So what happened on the gaming side of the world then?? Well since i have been busy with other stuff i haven´t got the time to check so many games out or to game that much either.

But i downloaded the Call of Duty 2 pre-release demo and i was kinda worried that it wouldn’t work on my computer (the specs. aren’t that good), but i installed it and tried it out yesterday…and…
That game is gonna be really really good! If you liked the first game and it’s expansion (United Offensive) you are gonna love this one.

Of course i couldn’t run it on the highest settings, some of the stuff i draw back on was the number of corpses shown, distant fog and other details.

Shure i took away some eye candy but still it looks beautiful, and i can imagine how it would be to play on a high end PC…*sigh* what a dream that would be…

I got it to run smoothly and the gameplay is pretty much the same so you recognise yourself there, but there are some news…

Like when you approach a ledge you can jump up it and jump down…the AI of the soldiers seems better, ok they are still a bit “stupid” but what did you expect.

When you get hit a lot and your energy is low, you get a message on the window that you are being hit and should get some cover, and the whole screen get “reddish”…

. . . .

Well, now I have to talk to my boss and see if i can get some time off for the Israel trip…

a celebration of the past

saturday

headache & "hangover stomach" and soon i'm going at it again...

what the h*ll am i talking about??

partying...

i was invited by my co-worker to a party with his synth friends and they were going to this concert with two classical synth bands called Psyche & Invisible Spirits.

i bought some alchohol (beer) and went away...

the concerts were not that bad actually, i could'nt really hear what the singer was singing because of the high bass, but it was fun to see synth bands live.

i must have been drinking alot of beer cause when i woke up this morning i had a big headache and a "hangover stomach"...uuh...

. . . .

"hangover stomach"??

symptoms: "bubbly" wierd feelings, the stomach may make high sounds. - i made up this word for when the stomach is fucked up after a party. you have to go to the bathroom all the time and all you have is gas.

. . . .

it took a couple of hours but i started to feel better...and then i remembered that i had promised a friend of mine to come and party with him...gaah!

just the thought of beer made me sick, but i didn't want to stand my friend up.

i haven't seen him for a while so there's nothing to do.

and there i am now...sitting here at home waiting for the time to go so i can get out and meet him and the other ones.

. . . .

i have found some more blog templates that i'm gonna try out on my try-out blog that i have. hopefully everything will work so i can change this template, don't really like it, but it's the best one Blogger has...

well, it´s time for me to go now.

see you ppl. around!

"thank god it´s friday"

I don’t know about you ppl. but I sometimes think back of stuff I want to change in my past. What if you could travel back in time and change stuff…

You could ONLY change stuff that was about your life, you couldn’t change anything about someone else’s life.

I tend to think about this a lot…last time was yesterday morning when I was in the bathroom doing what I do there. I usually spend a lot of time in there, so I have often time to think. ^_^

Anyway, so there I was thinking about stuff I want to change if I had the chance…some of the stuff I think I want to change is the fear I had for going to the dentist when I was younger. It caused some problems for my mom and of course for myself.

I want to change that I didn’t study that good when I was in school…

But if I would have changed any of that where would I have been now?? I probably wouldn’t have been living here in Gothenburg…and if I wasn’t in Gothenburg I probably wouldn’t have met my grrlfriend…!! =´(

And that I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE! I love my grrlfriend and I want to spend my life with her, so don’t think anything else of that!

But it’s just that I have my “demons” inside me that haunt my mind. With “demons” I mean stuff I said or done that I wish I could have done differently. Sometimes these “demons” come and I feel so stupid for saying “this” or doing “that”…you maybe know what I mean…?

And it’s those “demons” I wish to take away…other stuff I would like to change is the fact I wasn’t that tuff when I was younger, I allowed ppl. to bully me. I didn’t stand up for myself and kicked their asses (well, at least tried) instead of mine…


What would you change??

. . . .

Yesterday Maria, a co-worker, had her last day at work…damn, it feels strange that she’s not around no more. She was a lot of fun, and she helped me out a lot. We had pretty much the same stupid humour so we had some good laughs.

I’m gonna miss her.

Now we have lost four (4) people here…

. . . .

I really have to recommend the PC/XBOX/Playstation 2 game Fahrenheit or as it is called here in Europe, Indigo Prophecy. It is a really cool game, you control the person who murdered a guy in the toilets AND you also control the police officers that are trying to find out who did it.

Only thing I dislike about this game is the controls, sometimes the camera angle is kinda weird and that makes it even harder to control the person sometimes…

But it’s definitely worth checking out!

Another game that’s gonna kick some ass is F.E.A.R.. I tried out a single player demo of it, and it was really cool! But scary…so if you don’t like scary action packed intense game …stay away from this one…

. . . .

And for my "story"...I am working on it...

And today i´m going to a party *yay* ... and tomorrow a friend of mine has asked me to come and party with him *yay* ...but i don´t know if i can handle it...


i´m sooo tired, i just wanna sleep for a week or something...

. . . .

manic mansion

When I woke up it felt like someone was having a death-metal concert in my head. It was pounding over and over again...


how long had i been gone?


I noticed that my regular clothes that I had on was gone. I had a pair of white pants in some cotton fabric, and as a t-shirt I had an old straitjacket with alot of metalbuckles.

I was lying on a strange bed in some even stranger cell. It looked like it haven’t been used for 50 years or something like that...Next to me lied a pair of shoes, they seemed a size too big, but who am I to complain. I put them on and got out of the “bed”.



Who had taken me away, why?? And where am I??

I knew that I wouldn’t get any answers by sitting here so I got up and I felt on the door and to my surprise (and happiness) I noticed that it opened without any hassle, well except the noise the old hinges made when I opened the door, so now I have to find my way out of this place...

I was in a long corridor with many more cells like I had been lying in...what is this place? I was starting to get nervous here.



I tried to look out trough the window, but the dirt was so thick I couldn’t get it off...just to keep on going i guess...

It was a labyrinth down here. So many corridors...I had no idea where to go, and no one to ask...maybe it was a good thing that there wasn’t anyone to ask. I don’t want to bump into some more weird people.



I walked around for what seemed to me like hours. The only noise I heard was the water dripping on the puddles on the floor and my footsteps. There wasn’t almost any light down here so with the sound from the water and my steps and the bad light it was just like those bad horror movies when people are in these houses and monsters jumps out and eat them.

After a while I came to this staircase and I could get up from this “dungeon” cellar...but it wasn’t easy at all, the first steps had been broken down so I had to climb my way up...



When I finally came up I thought I was home free, that now it can´t be worser. But I couldn’t be more wrong...I was apparently in a huge abandoned "house", actually it looked more like a "factory" of some sort...

I started to look for the entrance to this place, and after I had been walking around a while I saw some footprints...well more actually I saw shoeprints.

So someone had actually been here! But how long ago was that?? And who was it that had been here, for all I know it could have been a homeless person looking for a shelter or it could have been a robber looking for a hideout...or maybe it was just someone that was into taking photos of abandoned places.

In one of the rooms I found a telephone, I picked it up and...no, no ring tone. Not very surprising, next to the phone was a photograph of a little boy in a toy airplane. I stood there just looking at the photo, wondering who the little kid was, who put it here and what happened to this kid and his family.



I got out of the room, continuing to follow the footprints and I came up to an even bigger room. In that room was a huge window. That usually wouldn’t catch my eyes, but the weird thing about it was that it wasn’t that dirty and someone had put up a note on it.



I couldn’t read all of the text on the note, either it was some language I couldn’t read or maybe it was the person’s handwriting that was too bad.

Below what looked like a message to someone, was what looked to me like a username and a password for a computer or something...but a computer in this place? And is there any power I wondered...

I started to look around and soon I found some computers hooked up on a simple made table. They weren’t the latest high-tech PC´s but it looked like they might work...



I took a wild chance and turned one of the computers on, and to my big surprise it started up without any problem, sure it was slow and all. But still, they work.

I came to a login screen and I had to enter a username and a password...but I didn’t have any username or a password...then it came to me! The note on the window!!

This was too weird...I have been taken away by some people. Somewhere unknown, they took my clothes off and replaced them with some other clothes. I had been walking around in this “building”/”factory” for hours (it felt like that for me). And now I found these old computers...

What is going on...?

I thought that it can’t be worse than it is now so I went to get the note when I heard a noise...it was the sound of voices...I think...it came from outside.

I turned against the window and looked outside but all I could see was...



This round house in a huge backyard...but no people out there...

Did I really hear voices...or was it just the wind that blew through the windows...

I stood there for a while and looked around, sometimes could see that the grass outside was moving and I thought that it was someone there, sneaking around. But then I came to realise that it must have been the wind...who would be out here?

I took the note and went to the computer again and entered what I presumed was the username and the password.

It worked and I got into the computer. There weren’t any files other than internet explorer and a modem dialling program...

“This is weird”, it thought, “how can there be a modem internet connection out here and the telephone isn’t working”...

I checked the cables and there was this ethernet cable connected to the computer and it disappeared into the wall.

I didn’t want to pull the cable, if the internet connection was working I didn’t want to ruin this chance of getting a message out...and hopefully get some help.

Maybe the phone was working after all...

. . . .

So this is where I am now. I am still stuck in this house, I have no idea how long I’ve been here, but I’m going to start making my way out of here soon...I must.

magic - morning - day

and another monday again then...mmm, mooonday...taste it...moooonday...and as wonderful as mondays can be i went to work and i saw that i was gonna be late so i called in and reported my situation and my co-worker said that i was gonna start at 10.15 apparently...i thought i was gonna start out at 09.00 *sigh*

one good thing that i can think about monday is that C.S.I. Las Vegas is on TV tonight *yay*...something other?? hmm, not that i can think of...maybe Family Guy, but i want to see more of Stevie, he´s cool.

i was at a party this weekend. one of my co-workers had a "house warming" party...i have actually no idea if he just moved in there or not...

but it was really fun, i met some intresting people.

he and his friends listen to bands like Apoptygma Berzerk and other bands that i can´t pronounce...(Apoptygma Berzerk is a synth band if you didn´t know that).

i never (well almost) listened to synth music like Apoptygma B., so i thought i would be kinda out of place there...but i felt very welcome and i had as i said earlier a really good time, actually i had such a good time i came home around 04.30 in the morning (!!)

i met this guy who´s brother is Jay-Jay Johansson and i talked to a girl who´s brother is Jon Nödtveidt (frontman in Dissection), so that was cool.

i also smoked some water pipe for the first time...and no i didn´t like it that much.

for some reason i decided when i got home i should call my grrlfriend...she wasn´t to happy about that...hmm, i wonder why *S*

i can tell you that i won´t make the same mistake again *LoL*

. . . .

i saw a couple of episodes of Paranoia Agent. it´s really good! now i can´t wait to get home and watch another episode.

too bad that there only are thirteen episodes out...

. . . .

the Zelda gaming seems to taken a break. the problem is i lost a bit of intrest for continuing...but i´m gonna try to sit down and continue some day this week, i have made my mind up that i am gonna go through it all and i will...

. . . .

i´m so tired today...i can almost fall asleep here at work...and i have to work until 18.15 tonight...*dubbel-sigh*

and i have a pain in my back, i think i slept in a strange position...


I WANT A PIZZA AND A COKE !!

i soooo want a pizza, gaaah. but the thing is that i wanna loose weight and i have to stay away from such temptations...

edit, edit, edit...

i had a strange dream this night again...but this time it wasn´t about vampires and stuff like that.

no this time it was a nice dream.

"me and the grrlfriend had hired a cabin out somewhere...this person that owned the cabins had some small cabins too, and these cabins where really special.

he had made two versions of it, one that could fit only one person and one that could fit two persons.

sounds wierd?? yeah, i know!

i made a picture of it so you could get an idea how it looked like
(finally i get to show off my elajjt picture making skillz)


he had like five or six of these on the yard. and for some reason my girlfriend went to sleep and i decided for some very very wierd reason that i wanted to sleep in one of those houses instead of sleeping with my grrl.

i had no trouble standing in there, and it was two chairs and one little fridge and a small tv in there...

so i sat down in one of the chairs and fell asleep.

when i woke up later (in the dream that is) i was thristy so i looked in the frigde and to my surprise it was full.

and there was a bottle of some lemonade that i decided that i wanted.

when i had poured up some in a cup, i noticed that the whole "cabin" fell down and started sliding down the hill towards a beach with a small lake.

when it fell i actually didn´t think that much about it, i was thinking more that i didn´t want the lemonade all over me. (yeah i´m strange in my dreams i know).

so, the "house" was sliding down towards the water and i had no clothes on and i didn´t want the people to see me almost nude, so i was starting to think of an idea of how to manage to hide myself from them...

it didn´t go that well...i ended almost up in the water, and the people were staring at the house and i could sneak out.

i don´t think they thought that much of the half naked man inside...
"

there was some more but it´s to hard to put into words...

. . . .

yesterday i finally found a nice webblog design, actually i found a couple of them. but some of them wouldn´t for some strange reason work i either Firefox or i Explorer...very wierd indeed.

and then after some more searching i found a even better design that i tried out on a difrent blog i have here on blogger.

i looked really good in both Firefox and Explorer, so then it was just to move it to this blog.

no problemo, just copy and paste the code and enter the buttons i wanted...and voilá! ...wtf.??!! this dosen´t seem right, it looks perfect in Firefox but in Explorer it´s fukked up...

if you wanna get yourself an idea i can try to explain it and maybe some coding wizard that is reading this blog can help me out.

you can see the design of the blog here

if you look to the right you can see the "About me" info and the blog archives.

when i move this code to this blog that "About me" info and the other stuff there end up at the bottom of the blog, below all the posts.

BUT that only happens when i use Explorer to view the page. it looks perfect in Firefox...

really wierd...

so if there is a blog coding wizard that want to help out please leave me a message and i´ll get back to you.

if you wanna see an example of the fault look here.

. . . .

the vaccuum in my ear is still there...but yesterday i got the tip of dropping some olive oil into the ear. and i tried that and it did actually work...until this morning...it came back...(!!!)

i´m thinking of going to the doctor soon, even if i know they can´t do much but still...

Loolili ve Perlili - Episode IV: Supersized Loolie love

the Zelda gaming is going slow...why??

well, to be honest i dislike the camera in the game, i can´t really controll it that much and therefore i most often end up being hit by a enemy or fall down because i didn´t see the end of the edge...

. . . .

you know when you get on a flight and when the plane is starting to get up in the air you sometimes get like a "closing" in the ear (i don´t know the english word for it), the same thing can happen when you´re in the shower and you get water in the ear...

well, anywho. i have that now. i had that for the last 2-3 days. but today it´s even worser(!!). i get a little bit dizzy from time to time and when i speak i hear it "echoing" in my head.

very irritating.

i have a couple of things you can do like, to hold my nose and try to "sneeze"...but nothing has worked for me.

this is not that unsual for me, and it usually goes away in a couple of days, but still it´s very annoying.

and today i think i have to go home earlier from work because of this...

. . . .

i have to buy a new processor fan for my PC too, the one i have now is starting to sound like an aeroplane...or jet enginge to be precise...

i had it since i got my PC a couple of years ago, so it´s time to change...i just hope it wont cause to much trouble...why would it??

. . . .

i´m also getting worried here for my grrlfriend. she is not feeling that good.

i so worried that she will end up hurting herself soon.

me and the kathan loves you baby

"no, no grrrr..." = )

Det här funkar för f*n inte! Alla pennor ligger i oordning och jag är så trött. Det kliar i ögonen, det snurrar runt i huvudet och det har slagit lock i ena örat!

Måste få ordning på detta.

Hjälp!

Sen är det ju bara tisdag idag, kan det inte vara helg snart så jag kan få sova...

. . . .

Sådärja, nu är pennorna iaf. i ordning, men det kliar i ögonen fortfarande, det snurrar fortfarande i huvudet och jag har fortfarande lock i ena örat...

Undrar om det är korven jag åt till lunch som var skum...

. . . .

No you are not the one that read wrong, above entry is just some jibbrish in swedish...

What´s new?? Not much...yesterday i spent like 2-3 hours just searching for information on the band "The KLF"...

Did i found any info??

Oh yeah! I found a essay in swedish on the band KLF that was really good and had some info about the band i didn´t know. So that was cool!

I also got to see some pictures of the very rare video "Waiting" and some pix from the even more rare video (that wasn´t officially released) "White Room".

. . . .

On sunday i made up my mind to once and for all go trough "The Legend Of Zelda: Majoras Mask".

No i haven´t done that yet. Why??

I don´t know really, maybe because it has to do with the time limit you have in the game, the three days is kinda short when you are lost, and when you finally find your way you have to start all over from the first day again...

You ppl. that has tried the game know what i mean...

Well, i´m going home now. See ya!

Loolili ve Perlili - Part III - Evil Eye

i had such a wierd dream this night...

i dreamt i was living with one of my co-workers, in a house on the countryside. kinda nice house, and a nice place too...

one really strange thing was that she was a vampire(!!), but not the regular vamipre crap. she could actually stand day light, withstand garlic...etc...

i didn´t wan´t to become a vampire and she respected me for that and didn´t try to bite me.

BUT all of a sudden there were these vampyric kids there. it was hers...i think...

and most of them (i think there were 4 or 5 kids) tried to be bite me all the time, to nibble on my body parts and to suck my blood...and i was so annoyed by them. no i was mad at them.

i had been sleeping when i woke up and noticed that one of those kids tried to bite me (again) and i pushed him away and he said he tried to set the house on fire in the night(!!!)

i became pretty angry with them, but my co-worker (the mom) wasn´t mad at all...


. . . .

sorry to say i can´t tell more, since it´s to hard to put the dream into words...

a really strange thing about these kids is that i used to work at a school whit kids that was around 10-11 years old, and some of the kids in the dream was from the class i worked in(!!??).

wtf. am i dreaming?!?!

when i came to work i told my co-worker about this dream and she just laughed and found it pretty funny...but strange too...

Destination highway/motorway/my way

"Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday Mr President
Happy birthday to me
"

yes it´s my birthday today...can you believe that i have been around for 28 years...damn...every year i am amazed that i have lived so long...NOT that didn´t thought i wouldn´t live this long, and i have no intention of dying...

but it´s just the thing that 28 years is kinda long time when you think about it.

through my life i have seen:

the Commodore 64 (C-64) come and (very sadly) go
the Amiga 500 come and go
the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) come and go
the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) come and (very sadly) go
the Playstation One (PSX) come and go

witch of the following systems i miss the most?? hmm, hard to tell...i had very good times with the Commodore 64 but i also had very good times with my SNES, so i guess i miss those times as much.

sometimes i like to take out my original C-64 (yes, i still have the one i got from my brother and i bought another one too) and play some games. some of my favorite games on the C-64 are:

The Last Ninja 1-3 (i still have the original box from Last Ninja Remix and Last Ninja 3 (witch in my eyes have really beatiful box art))
Rambo III
Delta (the music in this game is just so wonderful)
Into The Eagles Nest
Slapfight...etc...

when it comes to the SNES some of my favorites are:

Chrono Trigger (the music, the grapichs...man the whole game...)
Final Fantasy 6 (or if you count it the american way it would be number 3(the music, the grapichs...man the whole game...)
Super Metroid
Starfox
Flashback...etc...

anyway back to the thing i wrote about...sometimes it feels like i have seen so much and the last couple of years (if we count since the PSX came) it feels like the world isn´t going forward that much...

i mean, going from C-64 to NES to SNES and to the PSX was fantastic. the grapichs, the sounds, the games...

but today, going from the PSX to the Playstation 2 (PS2) wasn´t that special. ok, sure the grapichs and the sound is of course better but the feeling is pretty much the same.

it could be because i have grown up and got used to the grapichs and all that, but when you think of it going from the PSX system to the PS2 system isn´t that big of a change.

hmm...

well, i stick to the fact that is was better before...sure the loading times of the C-64 wasn´t that much fun, and the NES controller (the original) has some sharp ends that makes it not so nice to hold.

BUT those things have it´s charm...i love the NES controller, it´s so simple in it´s design and functionality, and the loading times of the C-64 has it´s charm too in a way...

and the TAC-2 joystick for the C-64 is THE BEST joystick ever if you ask me.

. . . .

i´ve updated my homepage for my Playstation/XBOX/movie burning guide, that´s why i haven´t updated this blog so much...and of course i miss my baby.

she went home on friday the 2:nd of septemmber *sob*, and i just couldn´t find the energy or the motivation for updating here.

i love you bejbi.

knock knock...

bought a new mp3 player this last weekend...my new baby is a Asono AB-600*.

the strange thing is that what i bought was the 600*, not the 600...

what is the difference then??

well, the 600* (with the star) dosen´t have a radio when the 600 (without the star) has the radio...

i´m suspecting that the radio is hidden in there somehow...i just need to find out if what i suspect is true and if it´s possible to enable it...

to explain it easier let´s take a example:

many mobile companys, for example Vodafone and 3 (three), cripple their mobile phones so they don´t have certain functions.

in some cases you can´t use mp3´s that you have in the in the phone as a ring tone, when with a non crippled phone you can.

so as i said earlier i´m guessing that the radio is hidden in there...but i have no idea how to figure it out. so if anyone out there knows anything aboot this i would be glad if you would share your knowledge.

. . . .

don´t have much more to write at this time...so if anthing comes into mind i´ll update this message or just make a new one...

Loolili ve Per-lili - Part II - The Scary Science Room

in the early 90´s i heard a song, it had (kinda) sad lyrics and a sad sound to it, i could never remember the name of the band or the song title, but i remembered a couple of the lines of the lyric:

"i need a friend
oh i need a friend
that could make me happy
"

today in the shower the song hit me again, and i began to sing it (yes, i sing in the shower. i actually to a pretty good cover of Kyuss - "Green Machine", Kyuss - "Supa Scoop & Mighty Scoop"), anyway so i thought that "- hey! when i get outta the shower i´ll try to look it up in some Direct Connect hubb, i can always try to search on "Wonderful Life" (witch had hit me in the shower that i just might be the title of the song)..."

and so i did, i went into the DC hubb and searched for "Wonderful Life" and wam bam! i had a couple of too many hits...so i just took a chance and took a song by a band that was called "Black" that had a song that was namned "Wonderful Life".

i had it finished after like a minute or so and started it up in Winamp...and...

Y E S ! it was it!!

it was so nice to hear it again after all this years!

. . . .

Black - "Wonderful Life"

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air

Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

Sun in your eyes
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there

And I need a friend
Oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

I need a friend
Oh, I need friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine


. . . .

damn, i need a new mp3 player...my JoS (Jens Of Sweden) has starting to fuck up bad, really bad.

first the text on the screen went away and now the headphone input is fucking up.

and this morning the scroll wheel wouldn´t work for a little while...

(just so you ppl. know, my JoS has been around for over 4 years now and it has always been working good for me)

i have been looking for a new mp3 player, but i know that soon i have my birthday and i can always wish for money so i can buy a new one.

but still i listen to mp3 player pretty much everyday, to and from work. to and from town or wherever i am...so it´s gonna be hard waiting.

and if i know my family right i won´t get any money...they will more likely buy a mp3 player for me, witch i DON´T WANT THEM TO DO!

i am VERY picky about hifi things. i don´t want any crappy brand that has to be laid in for service every month or so.

no thanx.

. . . .

nah, now i´m thinking of watching Sin City, since the grrlfriend is at a friend for a couple of more days i should take the time and watch some movies witch she dosen´t want to see...

"morningview"

uck...feel sick...i wanna go home and sleep...

i dont feel´like going to work no more. it´s just so goddamn boring! same shit everyday!

and i really mean same shit everyday;

Change to the "uniform"
Turn on the computer
Log in on the computer
Log in on the phone
Start up programs
Log in on the programs
Take calls

Log out from the computer
Take lunch (30 mins ... waaay to short!!!!)

Log ín on the computer
Take calls
Log out from the phone
Log out from the programs
Log out from the computer

Change to my private clothes
Go home


Now this surely sounds like any job, but i had like 5 or 6 jobs since the last 4 or 5 years, and this is by far the most boring one, and the most repetive one.

Now you think "- Change job then!!"

Sure i could do that ... BUT! I want to travel down to meet my girlfriend in Israel, and i need to stay so i can fix the money and take the time off.

If i quit i won´t get any money (that´s if i won´t get a new job), and let´s say i do get a new job, i can´t take some time off to travel the first thing i do!

So i´m kinda trapped here ...

. . . .

I´ve been thinking of changing appearance of this blog. Yes i know i have been talking about it before. BUT that was before i knew that i had to learn CSS.

As i feel now i don´t have the energy or time to learn CSS so i Googled a bit and found a site called Blogskins (the site seems to be down now, but try again later sometime).

They have readymade skins you can use for free that works with Blogger.

I have found a relly nice one that i´m currently trying out on under a another blog. The problem is that i wanna change the font type and i have gone through the source code but it seems not to work as i want.

. . . .

The girlfriend and me has seen a couple of movies;

The Hitchhiker´s Guide To The Galaxy (the movie)
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events


...Hitchiker´s Guide... was actually really cool, i heard that ppl. had said that it´s boring and so on. And the critics in Sweden have given it a 3 on a scale 1 to 5 where 5 is the best.

i would rather give it a strong3...i have only seen the movie once so it might just change...

Lemony Snicket... was really cool! Jim Carrey did a really good job!

i have no idea what the critics said about and to frankly i don´t give a fuck about critics and their grades.

if a movie looks intresting to me i´ll watch it. the critics have been wrong so many times according to me, so therefore i don´t trust them!

we have seen some more movies too and here is quick list:

Mean Girls - unusual teen movie, not bad at all.
Constantine - kinda good, but not what i expected.
Sin City - this was so COOOOOL!! but my girlfriend didn´t like it...

. . . .

the fridge broke down on monday, and damn me and the girlfriend was panicked! we had alot of food in the freezer and in the fridge.

early on tuesday morning i called the company that owns the apartments and about 1½ hour later we had a new fridge and freezer to borrow until they get the one that fits.

now that´s what i call good service.

. . . .

well, that wraps it i guess...

oh, i almost forgot to mention that The Muppet Show first season is gonna be released according to IMDb. now that is something i am gonna look for!

"just how deep do you believe?"

"you're keeping in step
in the line
got your chin held high and you feel just fine
'cause you do what you're told
but inside your heart it is black it is hollow and it's cold

just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off your knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you wanna change it?

what if this all crusade's a charade
and behind it all there's a price to be paid
for the blood which we dine
justified in the name of the holy and the divine

just how deep do you believe?
will you bite the hand that feeds?
will you chew until it bleeds?
can you get up off your knees?
are you brave enough to see?
do you wanna change it?

so naive
I keep holding on to what i wanna believe
I can see
but i keep holding on and on and on and on

will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?
will you bite the hand that feeds you? will you stay down on your knees?"

no use for a name

monday again. and i am back from my vacation...didn´t feel at all to go to work today.

i was supposed to start out early today, at 07.45 and end at 15.45, but as always i fuck things up and forget what week it is and i come in at 10.15 (when i thought i was gonna start out)...

while i have been gone another person has quitted here, i had 83 unread mails (deleted 81 of them), and i really really don´t wanna be here.

sure i could always go out and search for a new job, but the thing is that i don´t know what i wanna work with.

my girlfriend thinks i should go back to school, but i know i won´t make it. and i don´t have a clue what to study.

. . . .

i just feel like go away from work and take the train away...where? i don´t know, just away from here.

me grrlfriendo is here with me!! finally after like 5 months of boredom she´s here again! ^_^

. . . .

and still it´s SOOO HOT! especially in the office where i´m working...our air condition dosen´t work properly so we are sitting here and sweating and sweating and sweating...

*gah*

. . . .

haven´t played any CoD in a while now...damn...haven´t played any console or pc game in a while now...double damn...

. . . .

successfully registered my self a domain at dot TK last week...

"end of commercial break"

;- P

. . . .

i wrote earlier that i haven´t played any console or pc game lately...that dosen´t mean that i haven´t played any game at all...he he...

i don´t remember if i said this but i got myself a new mobile phone...

a Sony Ericsson K750i

i got some cool games for it, amongst the games i´ve got that´s worth of mentioning is:

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (adventure)
Alpha Wing (shoot em´ up)
Arkanoid (classic arkade game)
Asphalt Urban (driving)
Minigolf (self explanatory)
Super Real Tennis (sport...duh!)
XIII (action)

some of these games were made for the SE K700 or other SE phones, but so far most of them have worked really good on it...

i´ve got plenty more that i haven´t tried out yet...

i found Actraiser for the phone even(!!). yes the old Super Nintendo game!! but unfortunately they chipped away the building part of it...if you ask me, the best part of the game...

also the game sound stops every time you swing your sword. but other than that it looks really good!

what?? you wanna get Your hands on these games?? well....go look for them on for example Direct Connect hubb or some bit torrent sites...i grabbed some of my games from The Pirate Bay bit torrent tracker.

. . . .

well, th-th-th-that´s it folks!

what am i talking about?? well let´s backtrack a bit to yesterday...

before i went to the meeting on my job i saw during the day that the gray clouds came in and it was a bit colder, and we all (at my work) thought that this is the end of the warm weather we had here i Gothenburg.

today when i went to work around 07.20 it was about 18 degrees (celcius) outside...no, not that warm actually...

and around 10-11 the sun came back, and it did it with a vengeance...

damn, it´s hot hot hot today!! and it seemes it will continue...

yesterday when i called me grrlfriend i brought her the "bad" news aboot the weather and she didn´t mind, she said it would be nice to come away from the heat where she lives...

babe, i have some "bad" (nah, not really he he) news...the sun is back...

^_^

. . . .


just one (1) day left until she´s here with me again...and damn i got plenty of stuff to do!!

my todo list:

clean the house:

- vacuume
- do the dishes
- change the kitty litter
- move some of the stuff that lies around

cook some food:

- have some meat that needs to be "taken care of"

buy some stuff:

- sparkled water (done)
- vegetables
- some secret shiit (he he, noo i won´t tell ;- P )

. . . .

i don´t have time to sit around no more, gotta get going.

... "Radio/Video" ...

been a while since i last posted something here i know...

been busy with other things like working, working, working and sleeping...

nah, ok. not working all the time but it sure feels like it. we had pretty much calls coming the last month (way too many too). but now it seems like it´s clearing out a bit i hope...

--| NEWS IN SHORT |--

the new law that makes it illegal to download is in effect now in Sweden, am i worried?? nah, not really. the police has said that they have no resources to catch the "pirates".
....

unfortunately i haven´t been able to play so much CoD lately, been too tired after work.
....

my grrlfriend is coming over in the end of this week (yay), and are gonna stay here with me until the 2:nd of september.
....

the summer is really above us now in Sweden, atleast in Gothenburg. yesterday when i looked at the temperature meter when it was at is highest it showed...42.2 C(!!!)...ok, so my temperature meter lies where the sun hits and that helps it of course. but still we are having it pretty warm here.
....

i bought some new stuff for my PC:
NEC ND-3520 DVD Burner
Logitech MX 518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse
....

need some more stuff for my PC but that have to wait...

what i need:

new processor (mine is starting to be to slow for new games)
more memory
maybe a new mobo (motherboard)
....

so if anyone feels generous and have this stuff to give away drop me a line with your e-mail adess and i´ll get in touch with you.
....

*sigh*...have to work over tonight, we have a meeting here at the office...*sigh*

i have lot´s to do at home before grrfriendo comes over...

emperors new clothes

"damn & why"

that´s how i feel today...

i started yesterday, and it got worse today...

i thought it would go away in the night when i was asleep...but it seems i just fell deeper...

was actually thinking of calling in sick to work today...but i thought that i give it a shot...

i kinda regret it...

i have no idea why i´m feeling this "down".

therefore: "damn & why"

. . . . .

so, what´s up here in the Kah-Loolie world then??

well here´s a snippet of what has happened:

my DVD burner broke down completely

i bought a new computer mouse (that improved my gaming ALOT, btw. it´s a Logitech MX518 and i can really recomend it)

i bought a new mobile phone (SonyEricsson k750i) - damn i´m addicted to that Arkanoid game i downloaded to my phone.

it´s june and the "summer" is supposed to be here now...but i can´t see it...it´s been kinda bad weather here i Gothenburg...

my mom went on a quick trip to the northen parts of Sweden and bought Surströmming (that´s a special fish that is popular in the northenparts), so soooon we´ll have a family gathering and eat (yummy!!).

i played a tournament on Swedish Meatballs...it wasn´t a regular tourny, it was just for fun.

the team i was in sG>> didn´t got that far, but we did our best and i´m happy. it was alot of fun! and we are gonna have the next tourny 26/6 i think it was...

i saw pink flamingos this weekend (in Slottsskogen in case you were wondering), i saw Kiwi birds too...cute! ^_^

. . . . .

well...for now i don´t know what to write here anymore...

"why does it always rain on me" / "street spirit"

ARRGGGHH!!!

i´m gettting fucking mad here!!

i got an e-mail from my boss a couple of days ago (in swedish, but i´ll try to translate to english further down):

"Vi har alldeles för mycket köer, vi tappar alldeles för många samtal och vi måste öka antalet besvarade samtal per person omedelbart.

Det finns tusen anledningar till allting som teknikstrul sjukdom osv men det spelar fan ingen roll vi måste få bättre fart.

Samtalstiderna är ok men tiderna mellan varje samtal är det inte, om det är kö så går det inte att sitta med en request eller liknande saker, lägg eländet på hög och ta nästa samtal, köer på 3,4,5 minuter är inte ok.

Vi måste få upp effektiviteten nu, om annat blir lidande så får vi lösa det efterhand (tar gärna emot förslag), men från nu:

TA NÄSTA SAMTAL!!! Är det kö så skit i allt annat!!!"


in english:

"We have way to long queues, were losing to much calls and we have to rise the number of answered calls on each person.

There are a thousand reasons for anything like technique failure sickness
and so on, but that dosen´t fucking matter we have to raise the speed.

The conversation times are ok but the times between each call is not, if it is queue you can´t sit with a request or similar things, put the damn thing on a pile and take the next call, queues that are on 3,4,5 minutes are not ok.

We have to get the effectivity up now, all else will be suffering so we have to fix that afterwards (i will gladly take suggestions) but from now on:

TAKE THE NEXT CALL!!! Is it queue so fuck anything else!!!"



and then our so called "Supervisor" sen out an e-mail (first swedish then english):

"Ledningen har under de senaste veckorna bevakat våra prestationer och vår verksamhet och kommit fram till att vi har på tok för långa köer och väntetider!

Jämförelsevis med det som har presterats av de "gamla" ligger vi hästlängder efter.

Nu köper de inte ens argumentet om att vi är för få, för då vi startade var vi bara 19 och nu är vi några fler men kötiderna har inte minskat i förhållande till hur många vi är som svarar och hur många det är som ringer.

Våran ledning "knorrar" nu. (Våran chef försöker nu poängtera allt strul med datorer och telefoner som vi har haft de senaste veckorna..."


in english:

"The executives have under the last few weeks watched our performance and came to that we have far to long queues and waiting lines!

Compared to what the "old place" achieved we are miles after.

Now they won´t buy the argument that we are to few, because when we started we was only 19 and now we are a couple more but the queue times haven´t decreased in proportion to how many we are now and how many that are calling.

Our executives are complaining now. (our boss is trying to point out all the trouble had with the computers and the phones the last weeks..."



Then the same person wrote in a another e-mail (and first in swedish and then english):

"Kunder kommer att bli lidande, men det får vi ta i efterhand och försöka på bästa sätt "plåstra över" med ett gott humör eller nåt."

in english:

"Customers will be suffering, but we´ll have to take that at a later time and take "care of it" with good mood or something."

....

This is fucking crazy!!! WE ARE DOING OUR BEST HERE!! And the "old place" that is mentioned in the letter is where they had their call center earlier, and they had been working there for 14 FUCKING YEARS, and we have been working for 6 months!!

To add more to the fire:

They, on the "old place", got a proper education of 6 months BEFORE they started taking calls!

We, on the "new place", didin´t get a proper education at all! All we got was a training on a old booking system that wasn´t updated AT ALL since like 1998 or earlier!! We sat with that system for like 1 ½ month and then we started to take calls.

How the HELL CAN THEY EVEN THINK IN THAT WAY!! What the fuck!! Are they fucking morons!!!!

It´s like comparing night and day!

And taking "care of it" with good mood or something!! What the fuck is up with that?? Our customers won´t settle with good mood or something!!

This is so fucking stupid!! As you all can tell i´m pretty angry here. And with all right as i see it.

As i wrote earlier we NEVER got a proper education and we are compared to people that first of all got a education and then have been working with this for 14 years!!

....

other things that has been happening?? well not much...

i nowadays rarely find time to play CoD online (i´m too tired after work).

i missed out on the laundry day i had booked like 2 weekends ago so had to book a new one...

i saw the movie "The Jacket" a couple of days ago...strange movie, but not that bad, just a wierd ending...gotta see it again to grasp it.

summertime is creeping closer and closer...feels nice...

but what dosen´t feel that nice is that i haven´t met my friends in a while...miss going out and having fun. gotta call them more often.

....
