3.0 - "They're all songs of liberation..."


So yesterday I was at a live concert with Mr. Brant Bjork and The Bros and it was awesome (as the last two times I saw him). The only let down was that he didn't go on until really late, around 23.30 he went up on stage and did a kick ass concert until around 01.00 in the night.

When I got aout of the bar he played in I saw the tram to the city just had started from my station, and I knew it was gonna take a long while before a new one is gonna come...I was right, about 30 mins. until next one. I just wanted to get home and I needed "to do the number 1" (if you know what I mean), so nothing to do than just start walking into town...

In the end I was home and went to sleep around 02.30.

2.9 - Let the truth be known...

"...and get stoned."


HELL YEAAAH!

Tonight I'm gonna see Brant Bjork live (!!!!) AAAAND I saw in the magazine Metro (the Swedish, Gothenburg edition) a note on the concert tonight that Alfredo Hernándéz is gonna be on the drums (!!!).

For you people that don't know him, he played drums on Kyuss "Welcome to Sky Valley", "...and the circus leaves town" and on Queens of the stone age's first album ("S/T").

That is really awesome! And what's even more cool is that Brant Bjork is signing his new album with the bros today (it's called "Somera Sol")!!

Now i have to get outta here and get the new album siiiigned by Mr. Bjork!!

WOHOOOO!!!

2.8 - New design II

Aah, Saturday...finally weekend.

I sat up pretty late last night working on to get the template to work as I want here on Blogger. When I went to sleep I forgot to turn off the alarm on the buzzer so the radio started at 05.40 (!!) and I snoozed it and a while later it started again, I was between sleep and awake so I didn't think about it so much so I snoozed again...only to wake up again a short while again but this time I finally managed to get my head together to turn it off...

But some time later someone called me on the phone, I got up and checked on the screen of the phone but only to find it said "Anonymous", and when I answered the fucker hanged up on me. By that time the clock was around 08.30 and my whole idea of getting some some sweet sleep on a Saturday morning was ruined, I was awake now and I knew I couldn't go back to sleep.

A short while after I got up the same moron called me again and I answered only to find the idiot hanging up on me again!!! I strongly thought of calling my phone provider to try to find out who the idiot is, but i calmed down and just turned off the phone...

. . . .

So, it's Saturday and what the hell am I gonna do today? I have absolutely no idea...think I'm gonna head down to the city to...well, I have no idea...

...crap...

2.7 - New design



As you can see i finally changed the horrible background that i used to have, I also changed the template too. Took me a while (to say the least) to finally do it, but for some reason I made my mind up to change it tonight.

More changes might come, mostly small which you readers problaby won't notice...but we'll see what happens in the future. For now I am pleased with the new template I got here.

2.5 - 06:57


Today when I was at my moms to eat dinner, we also watched a movie, this time it was the excellent "The butterfly effect".

The last time I saw it I felt a bit down, I guess it's because it reminds me of that I want to go back and change so much in my past but it can't never be done. I started to think again about what I would like to change the most...

I thought a while about it and figured out that if I could go back and change something I would changed Danielas (my ex. girlfriends) life. I would have changed so she would be a more happy person, without those dark thoughts inside her that she has about life, and how unhappy she was (and still are...?).

She told me that her mom wasn't like other moms when she grew up (and still isn't), you know like hugging you and mom stuff like that. And she also told me that she considered to take her life, she even tried a couple of times. Her old boyfriends and friends have hurt her al lot and have given her deep scars, and a lot of other stuff that made her life miserable.

Changing the past and Danielas life would have meant that we probably would never have met and get to know each other, but if I knew that Daniela lived her life happily it would have been worth it. It's not that I regret the time I got with Daniela, I love her a lot and miss her very very much and I think about her all the time and I often dream back to the times when we were together here in Sweden or in Israel. She showed me a world I didn't knew anything about and gave me a lot of fun moments in life that I will always will remember with a lot of warmth.

But it hurts me so much to see and hear that she is unhappy, she is a very wonderful person that deserves so much, much much more than she even thinks she deserves.

Dani, this post is for you.


I know we haven't talked much lately, I hope you are doing fine with school and all the jobs you have.

I also hope that you have time to be with your friends Matan, Lookshine, Rotem, Noga & Genie, Ravit, Arbel, Jack and all the other ppl.

I miss you and I hope you haven't totally forgotten about me and that you're coming here to Sweden soon.

I know I have said a while ago that the next Desperate Housewives DVD was finished, but I noticed when I tried it that it didn't work out as good as I wanted it, so I have to redo everything. I'm really sorry about that.

But you know PC´s, one day they work the next day they won't. But now I have a new fresh installation of Win. XP on my computer and gonna get to work, and if everything works out I'll do the Green Wing DVDs too, as I promised.


Ani ohev af toot.

2.4 - Life & Religion

Life in general:

Yesterday on my way from work I started to think when people passed me that life is pretty meaningless. I mean, we get born and from that day we travel to our end in at a high speed.

Our parents (or the one that gives us food and clothes) try to learn from the early stages what is right and what is wrong accoring to their standards. When we are old enough we start going to school to "learn" about the world and all around it. After many years in the school we are released from it and are supposed to make it on our own now. Some people continue to higher education and others start to work.

Some point in life we stop going to school and have to start working. And the point of work is to make enough money so we can eat and buy new clothes to us, but we like money so much so the point has become to earn so much money that we never can spend it all in our lifetime. We like to own stuff and we don't care witch foots we step on or who we have to kill to earn more money.

And some people happily kill other people go get more power or more money so they can buy more stuff or store the money in some bank or stocks or whatever. If that's not enough we kill the earth and the animals too. The earth that provides us with some place to live, and we kill all the animals without hesitation just so we can have clothes and food. Killing the animals for food is one thing, but what we people do is we kill them without thinking ahead and we have already made some species extinct.

Back to the work thing, we work our ass off all our life hoping to be able to kick back and enjoy the last years of our lives. But the fact is that many of us never get to enjoy those last years so much because of a little thing called money (yes, that old foe is here again to make a mess), and health. Naturally when people grow up we get sick and that happens all the time and the people with money can go to the doctor and those without can only hope it's nothing serious and that it will go away by itself.

So when the people without money get old they don't have that much to live off and get ill then can severly hurt their economy and even sometimes can hurt themselves severly when they can't afford the medical treatment.

The words are so familiar -
all the same greats, the same mistakes
It doesn't have to be like this.


Religion:

Some people believe that there are higher god(s) that we should put our faith in, and this is also very meaningless and it has through time often been the reason of wars (other reasons is money, love and power). Some people say that they kill in the name of their god, what kind of bullshit is that? I don't think it says in the religious books that "And thy God said to thee that thy shalt kill all that are against thee" or similar. No, people tend to read between the lines and interpret they way they want to.

A good example of this is the Christian religion. According to the christians homosexual people are wrong, that God said that it was meant that a man and a woman should live togheter, not two people of the same sex. What the hell is wrong with people?! If I should fall in love with someone and that person happens to be of the same sex that is no ones affair, and people should keep their nose out of my love life.

Or another good example of when religion went crazy is when a danish magazine printed some pictures of Muhammad (link to Wikipedia article.). Just because some cartoonists made some pictures of some religious guy the whole muslim world gets all crazy and wanted to open a can of whop ass (to say the least) on the whole danish country and their people. Sweden and norway got drawn into this heap of bullshit too.

I get so sick of this religion crap sometimes, people do this, people do that i the name of their god(s). That is just a heap of bullshit, you can't put a god responsible for your actions, it's only you and your leader that is responsible for your actions.

Sure some people find comfort and help through life with religion and that's good and all, but when it goes over their heads like in the examples i gave above it's just too much.


So in the end money, religion and love are the big evil corporations in life.

If you don't make a friend, now
One might make you -
So learn
The gentle art of making enemies

Don't look so surprised
Happy birthday...Fucker
Blow that candle out,
We're gonna kick you

2.3 - Beyond the wall of sleep


All accounted for
Marked sheep, sold
Matched and numbered, weak
Downsized, uptight

It's about time


. . . .

When I woke up this morning I was sure it's thursday. I went to the shower and later sat down to have my usual breakfast and turned the radio on. After a while someone on the radio said something and said the word "today on this friday", and I thought "heey, someone is confused, it's thursday today".

I went to the tram and came to work, and my first call today someone wanted to rent a car:

"- Hi, i want to rent a car from today and a week forward." The customer said.
"- Ok, no problem. From today, thursday and a week forward."
"- Umm, it's friday today."
"- Is it?"

...after that call I had to ask a couple of my co-workers what day it was and they all said it was friday. I was really confused, what the hell happened to thursday??

. . . .

Stop making speeches
We can't hear you
From the bunker bed
It's not like the movies,
Where hatred made clearer sense


. . . .

Weekend again, and as usual I have no idea what i'm gonna do this weekend...sometimes I just feel like taking a random train and get away for a while.

Maybe I should fix my bike and go for that bike ride I have been thinking of for so long. The weather has started to be kinda nice now. The snow has melted away, too bad it's still a bit cold, and now when i'm writing this it's raining outside...

. . . .

This time around
Grey sharks. Down
Betrayed for personal wealth
Twelve feet under ground

It's about time


. . . .

Tonight i'm thinking of watching El Laberinto del Fauno (also called Pan's Labyrinth), heard from a co-worker it's supposed to be pretty good. But also go a hold a new game, "Sherlock Holmes - The Awakened", that i wanna try out.


Well, now i'm gonna get my ass out of Compton (work that is) and get some food and get home to my castle.

2.1


Today i got to think that it's been over 1 year since i was in Israel (see my blog Jump to Lightspeed for more info). This time a year ago i was in Eilat and had a good time...

I was together with Daniela and we were still a couple and at home the Loolie Kathan was waiting for me.


One year...it hasn't been a good year since i left Israel. When i came home Daniela wanted to take a break (witch usually means "i want to break up") and my friend (the Loolie Kathan) since over 20 years back went away.


I dated a girl a couple of weeks ago, i thought i had moved on and got over Daniela, but i now know that i haven't. When i was with Daniela i had the best time in my life. She made me more confident and sure of my self, she made me happy...
When we called each other we could talk easily for about 40-50 mins. (we used to call each other around 3-5 times a week), but nowadays we hardly speak at all. If i'm lucky we talk for about 5-10 mins. 1-2 times a week.

I miss so much the times we used to have, i miss her...she is the best girlfriend i ever had...

. . . .

Recently i have been starting to think really much if i am gonna go back to studies again. I need to get away from this crappy job i have now. I won't go anywhere with this job, it feels like I'm running in circles.

I HAVE TO GET AWAY FROM THIS SHIT!

I want to be a photographer, not like a photographer who takes cheesy pictures of weddings and that crap, no i dream more of being a rock concert photographer or be in the front line taking photos of war, happiness, poverty and stuff like that.

The thing is that if i'm gonna go study i want to concentrate on that full time, and i don't want a part-time job. I think this might be a bit difficult but i have to check if i can take a student loan and how much i have to pay back and all that around it...

. . . .

And at the gaming side of life i haven't been gaming that much, well i'm still stuck in Final Fantasy VI Advance, and recently i have been addicted to Underground Pool (in europe it's called Actua Pool). IGN gave it a really bad review points and sure it's not a very good game, but if you look beyond that and you're bored when you're at the loo it's working.

I have downloaded some other games i'm gonna try out, but i just need the right motivation...and time of course.

Last weekend i installed Call of Duty 2 (CoD 2) again, but my old-new graphics card (i don't know the name right now) can't handle all the fun graphics (like smoke and stuff) that good so sometimes it lags a bit. But still it's good to be back.

I have also checked with the CoD clan i used to game with if they are still active and it seems so, so maybe i'll throw myself out there in the online gaming once again.


It wouldn't hurt to have a more powerful computer and grapichs card...but right now i can't afford the 8-9000 skr i need to buy me a new PC.

:-(

. . . .

As i wrote in my previous post (2.0) i was going to a Cult of Luna concert and hopefully Eagles of Death Metal.

Cult of Luna concert was AWESOME! They were as good as i hoped them to be. I have some photos i took at home, i'll see if i can get my ass up and upload them somewhere...

Before the concert i talked to two guys at the bar, at first they seemed like two cool guys with a foot in the music business, but after a while i just noticed that they were talking shit...here some examples:

"- Last time we played on Rock am Ring we were set up to play on the smallest stage at a pretty bad time. But after a while we got to know that the band that was going to play between HIM and Slipknot cancelled so we got to go up between HIM and Slipknot on the largest stage. We went from the smallest stage to the biggest between those bands."

Suuure you got play between HIM and Slipknot, and suuure you got promoted from the smallest stage to the biggest...

And here's the worst:

"- You know who Max Cavalera is right?" (One of the guys asked me)
"- Of course."
"- Like 3 years ago i sent him a demo CD, and last week he called me and said that he could produce my album if put down a guitar solo on his new album..."

Yeah riiight, Max Cavalera called you...here i felt i had to get away and luckily some guy came and started to talk to them so i could sneak away.


I never went to Eagles of Death Metal in the end, i thought a friend of mine would hopefully fix something so we could get in, but she never did.

And next friday (the 16:th) i The Kristet Utseende to go to...

2.0

I was out on a date last week, and last night I had a dream I got 4 SMS messages. I check them and I see that one of them is from this girl i dated. I open it and all that it says is "Bad news! Call me!".

So I call her up to see what she meant, and she says she wanna cancel our next date because of ...here i didn't hear what she said...

I´m getting too worked up over this i know, but it was my first real date in over 5 years so isn't that kinda natural...?

. . . .

Damn, I have to find another job. This crappy place i´m working in now doesn't get me anywhere in life! All it does is it sucks my will to live out of me...well almost...it makes me very tired. Even the salary sucks. Sure i´m single now and i make it ok, but i´m glad i don´t have any kids to support cause I just wouldn't make it.

. . . .

I don´t know if i said it before but I bought a Nintendo DS Lite (NDSL) last year and I bought a so called passme device + M3 Perfect Lite (Micro SD) to be able to play homebrew and downloaded games.

2 days ago I got a hold of Final Fantasy VI Advance. My first thought was "finally it´s released!!". According to me and many more this is one of THE best RPG game of all time, sure the other Final Fantasy games was good, but it never reached up too FFVI.

I haven't got so much time to sit down and enjoy this little bundle of joy, but it seems that SquareEnix have done a good job. The graphics is just as wonderful and the music is just as good as i remembered, so so far everything seems to be in order...not that there should be any reason not to.


2 other games I hope to be re-released now is Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana, after that I won´t need any new games for a very very long time.


I just read on Wikipedia on the article for Secret of Mana that the game was originally intended to come out to the SNES CD system, but since it was cancelled the game was to be released on cartridge instead, but due to it´s size the games graphics had to downgrade and as much as 40% of the original content was removed (!!).

Imagine Secret of Mana with 40% graphical upgrade...Yummy yum yum!

. . . .

I just sat and checked upcoming concerts and holy crap March is going to be an expensive month for me. So far i found:

Abramis Brama + Black Debbath - 2:nd of march

Nicola Sarcevic - 10:th of march

The Kristet Utseende (also called T.K.U.) - 16th of march

Abramis Brama and Black Debbath plays a kind of stoner rock, Nicola Sarcevic plays more soft rock/pop and The Kristet Utseende plays punk/rock.


T.K.U. i HAVE too see, i have seen them once before and it was gooood, Abramis Brama i have seen many years ago and they was also good but Nicola S. I am kinda unsure if I will be going, and Black Debbath i really wanna see...


Tomorrow I am going to see Cult of Luna live.

And hopefully Eagles of Death Metal on saturday.

Aah, friday...



As usual i sat on my usual forums and checked if there was any interesting discussions going on or some juicy gossip about games/movies/music and other stuff.

After a while i stumble across a post where someone had posted a link for the musicvideo commercial for the game Cannon Fodder called "War has never been so much fun" (link to video is further down) and later some other person posted a link to a live version performed by the geekiest band i the world (according to themselves) Press Play On Tape (PPOT).


Links to the videos:

"War has never been this much fun" (original)

"War has never been this much fun" (PPOT´s live version)


I have just two bloody (ha ha, bloody) words to say about that live performance...

Bloody brilliant!!

or if you prefer

Fucking awesome!!

"War has never been so much fun
Talk to your buddy
Kill him with your gun
Let him lie in his uniform
Dying in the sun"

. . . .

And that´s all i had to say today...well, for now atleast.

No, i´m not dead or anything like that.

It has been a while...to say the least. August the 4:th was my last post here.

Hmm, didn´t realise it´s been that long since i posted here...damn...

Well, tonight (saturday) i was out with a friend of mine and im kinda tired now so i´ll just post this message to you all...if there is anyone at all that still comes here to check if i have updated my blog.

no title


i miss Israel...


lately i have been starting to think back to it more and more...especially when i am travelling to and from work, or to and from town. when i see cars that look a bit rundown or special looking buildings i start to think about it, and its hard to get out of those thoughts. it´s not that i want to forget it´s just that it sometimes hurts to remember. i think back to all that i and Dani and her friends have been doing when i was there, what i saw and felt. i know Israel isn´t the safest place to live right now, but i still miss the place.

maybe it´s because i have Dani there, and she´s the first girl i really loved. the first girlfriend i felt that i could tell anything too and that i could trust all the way. i had never felt that with any of my previous girlfriends.

. . . .

this night i had another of those wierd dreams...

this time i was in a house i had recently bought (!!), it had belonged to my mom but se sold it because she thought it was haunted (why i bought it in the first place i don´t know). my mom was going around helping me set up the curtains and unpacking my stuff. i really didn´t want to live there, and i certainly didn´t want to sleep there since i believed that it was haunted.

i asked my mom several times why i bought it and if i made a bad choice buying the house to begin with, but she didn´t answer.



that´s all i can remember. i often think of getting me a book that can help you "translate" your dreams, but you can never know if that what says in the book is what the dream is trying to tell you.
but at the same time it would be interesting to read...

. . . .

today the Gothenburg city festival start, this year it´s togheter with the EM (european championships). ALOT of ppl. are coming here and there´s gonna be some good artists too, i don´t care about the sports i go for the music. here´s a list of artists performing:

just another day


i have been thinking many times of moving back to norrland (the upper parts of Sweden where i grew up) again since i miss it...but a couple of days ago i realised why i want to move up again, it´s because i miss the old days when i lived up there and was with my old friends and all that, but the thing is that even if move up again it won´t be the same.

some of my old friends has moved out of town, or got a family. so it just wont be the same anymore, sad but true. i often think back to the old days, when i lived up there in that small town...i often remember it as happy days, and i had many many good times up there, but i must not forget that i was unemployed and most of the time i didn´t had any money because of that and i was often depressed.

. . . .

so...saturday today, the clock is about 13.50 and the only plan i had has gone to the trashbin. i was thinking of putting in my mountain bike for service, but the store close at 14.00.

why didn´t i go then? well, to make a unneccesary long story short:

i woke up too late...

what?? you want the long story...oh...hmm, well ok, here goes:

it started with yesterday after i got home a friend of mine asked me if i wanted to come and see "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead mans chest" and i got home around 01.30 and of course i got stuck infront of the computer again when i got home and didn´t got to bed until around 05.00. i had set the clock for about 10.40 but as always i forgot to turn the bloody alarm on.

*sigh*

so i woke up at around 12.40 instead...that wasn´t too bad since i needed to sleep. i had temporarily forgot about the plan i had for today so i sat down and checked my e-mail and stuff and then i remembered and i had to find out when the store closed for the day. i managed with Google´s help find the site of the store and saw that they close at 14.00...when i saw that the clock was around 13.20 already.



so what to do now?? i have no idea...i think of eating some breakfast since i´m getting very hungry here...

*makes some sandwiches*

aah, that´s better. and i now came up with what i´m gonna do now...clean the apartment. i really need to do it, boring yes. but i have to since no one else will.

. . . .

i have been looking for a new game to play...either on Windows or on PS2. i have been playing War Rock a while now, and i´m getting bored with it. i also started to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas again. that game is fun, but games these days have a hard time keeping my intrest up for more than 2-4 weeks of constant playing (well i do need to go to work and have other stuff to do, but you know what i mean). so i hope something cool hits the stores soon.

but one problem still exists if it´s for Windows...i can´t play those highly demanding games since my PC hasn´t been upgraded yet.


well, that´s it for this post. i´m gonna eat up the rest of my breakfast and then go and clean my apartment and maybe later play some GTA: SA.

Diamonds are forever

i was on my way to bed, trying to make a early night for once, and i was just gonna check something on a forum quick and i saw a topic of one thread:

"Syd Barret dead"

i couldn´t believe my eyes, was he really gone? "no, that can´t be true" i thought, and i followed the link and read...i just couldn´t believe it, Syd Barret is gone. i have been a fan of Pink Floyd´s music for a couple of years now and i have listened to Syd Barrett´s solo albums so this felt kinda hard. to loose someone that has inspired so many to do music and other. with Syd Barretts passing away it felt harder than when Kurt Cobain passed away. don´t get me wrong here, i miss Nirvana and i think it´s very sad that we lost Kurt Cobain but i feel that Pink Floyd´s music means more to me than Nirvana´s.

The Pirate Bay (TPB) raided



Today, 2006-05-31, the swedish incompetent police raided Rix|Port80 (that´s where The Pirate Bay (TPB) is hosted.

According to the rumors there was around 50 cops there to take away The Pirate Bay server and some other servers that Rix|Port80 hosted.

To me it is unknown how the **** 50 cops can have find the time to raid TPB instead of capturing the criminals that make sweden a unsafe place to be. People in sweden, especially girls/women and older ppl. are afraid to be out late, they get raped, robbed, assaulted, killed and so on. It just don´t happen to older ppl. or women it happens to everyone. The cops say all the time that they don´t have enough to handle everything, to cover for all the crimes...

No wonder they don´t have enough cops to cover it since they are more busy to run around trying to catch ppl. that are downloading. This shows for sure that the big anti-piracy organisations control the cops.

Damn, i get so mad i don´t even know what to write.

Here i quote the message you get when you try to enter The Pirate Bay (TPB) or Piratbyrån (PB):

"In the morning of 2006-05-31 the Swedish National Criminal Police showed a search warrant to Rix|Port80 personnell. The warrant was valid for all datacentres of Rix|Port80 and was directed at The Pirate Bay. The allegation was breach of copy-right law, alternatively assisting breach of copy-right law.

The police officers were allowed access to the rack where the TPB servers and other servers are hosted. All servers in the rack were clearly marked as to which sites run on each. The police took down all servers in the rack, including the non-commercial site Piratbyrån, the mission of which is to defend the rights of TPB via public debate.

According to police officers simultaneously questioning the president of Rix|Port80, the purpose of the search warrant is to take down TPB in order to secure evidence of the allegations mentioned above.

The necessity for securing technical evidence for the existance of a web-service which is fully official, the legality of which has been under public debate for years and whose principals are public persons giving regular press interviews, could not be explained. Asked for other reasoning behind the choice to take down a site, without knowing wether it is illegal or not, the officers explained that this is normal.

The TPB can receive compensation from the Swedish state in case that the upcoming legal processes show that TPB is indeed legal."

Sign this name list to demonstrate for solidarity and to show the discontent over the swedish Antipiratbyråns* and how the cops handled this:

The End? Part III

i wonder how the world would look like if there was no leaders in this world, no politicians, no kings, no presidents, no man or woman higher than the other.

every big decision that had to be made every citizen had a vote. and you could not sell, give away or in other way give your vote to another person.

no persons vote was worth more than someone elses, it didn´t matter if you were a doctor or a cleaner.


i wonder how the world would look like if it was like that...problaby better.


a couple days ago i talked to Nina (a friend / co-worker) about this idea, and we had a really cool discussion about this, and then we started talking about making our own country, and somehow we slipped into a discussion of how you are supposed to raise your children in the best way.

. . . .

for you that wonder aboot me and the girrlfriend...

we haven´t broken up, but she dosen´t know what she wants with us in the future. so yes, i still feel shitty aboot it. but i can´t do anything more than wait i guess.

some ppl. would problaby say that i should "put her up the wall" and ask for an answer but i don´t wanna stress her since she already having a hard time with her life, and i love her too much to loose her.

. . . .

some good news do exist...

the 26th of may i´m going to see The Kristet Utseende live in Gothenburg!! yes, finally i´m going to see them!

i haven´t been listening to them for a long time (discovered them last year), but as soon as i heard the first song i was stuck.

if you like swedish punk-rock with some good lyrics (you have to have a bit of humor to understand) you will problaby like them.

The Kristet Utseende at wikipedia (only in Swedish)

. . . .

bad news again...

my Koss Porta Pro headphones broke down a while ago, so i have been without any portable music for about 1½-2 weeks. it maybe don´t sound so bad but believe me, it is!!

evey travel to and from work nowadays and when i´m going to / from town shopping is kinda boring since i don´t have any music with me.

i have been looking for a new pair of headphones, and via a forum i saw that some ppl. recomended AKG K42P (the yellow ones). so i searched for a store here in Gothenburg to see if anyone had them and found a chain of stores that was supposed to have them...

i went there on sunday and surprise surprise, that store didn´t had them in, and i asked one of the personel to check the other store...nope, they didn´t had them either.

apparently even the big storage was out of stock even, but a couple of stores around gothenburg had them in...but no way i was travelling far to buy these headphones, i don´t even know if they _are_ that good even!

i asked the guy in the store if they could order in a pair for me...but noooo, they weren´t interested in doing such a thing. when i came home i checked the web site of the store again and saw that they had free delivery if you paid with your credit card.

but i thought that i wanted to try them before i buy ´em...and lucky was that i didn´t buy them since i checked my bank account on monday and saw that i had less money than i thought(!!).

and to top all things, this store i was at asking for these headphones are having a great price on them, and of course i can´t buy them now.

*sigh*

The End? Part II

"I don´t know if i wanna get back togheter anymore"


I had feared that she would say something like that after i got home and we had that serious talk.

But sometime after that talk i noticed a small change and my hopes were getting up a bit...

And today i call her after she tried to reach me at work (i very little free time when i am at work).

So i called her and we talked and after a while she said it, "I don´t know if i wanna get back togheter anymore".


What i felt with her for these almost 2 years, i have never felt with anyone else.


Is this the end for us?? I certainly hope not since she has been my all.

She is my best friend (except my cat), she is (was??) my girlfriend, she is the one i can see myself living with until the end of time.

. . . .

I don´t know how updates will be around this blog, but keep coming here cause i often start thinking about starting blogging again.
