summer news..

Ok..
So...

I got myself a boring job as a cashier in a supermarket... ugly green uniform, and maybe the only store in the world that doesn't have any background music. However, lots of people I used to know that drop in every day. so, nice to catch up a bit!

I'm moving to Århus, Denmark in the end of August to finish my last year at the KaosPilots. Anybody have any tips as for housing, please let me know!

I'm planning to paint a house.. just hope that the weather will change again so I won't have to hold an umbrella in one hand during the job.

Trying to find myself a mini pc.. know of any good deals?

yeah.. that is about it, lazy summer days =)

The king of pop

So.... as everyone knows.. The Great, has now become the late. Michael Jackson is dead.
Rest in peace..

now, we have all said it, so please let the dude rest in peace!
I've seen and heard of plans for concerts, songs, events, cd's, dress up as MJ parties, probably movies. who knows. and I think it is great that people want to show tribute to what we can probably all agree is a man whom was in a way a musical genius. but why are people trying to make money off a person that just died?

Is it only me that find it a bit strange to make the guy all trendy and popular just because he died?
Will everybody still be as interested in playing his music again in 3weeks when all the drama has died out abit?

MJ, your music was great, all people trying to jump on the trendy train by making a buck on a dead dude... eat a muffin

the sea f the Dead

So, back in Israel..
wow...
from nice old little Norway, to crazy Tel Aviv, then a day later, off to the desert (I prefer sandy forest.. can't be a desert if there is shrubbery? even if the shrubs are full of thorns and crap...). anyway, some beige colderd landscape on a mountain!
Sitting becoming spiritual and strange.. using new ways to discover old insight and passion.. was really nice..
the thing I like the best was to sit with Billy the Dung Beatle, both of us enjoying some salted sunflowerseeds, me talking, and old Billy giving me nods of wisdom.. doesn't say much, but a clever fellow..
anyway, it was great to look down one direction and see the sunrise into the vally, and look down in the other direction and see that it was already night there.. fantastic!

We left from the mountain, and the Kibutz we stayed at today, I traveld first in the back of a scary old truck, things flying everywhere, and me sitting in the back singing formyself and doing situps.. kind of nice.. didn't get that much of the view though...
then took a looong bus, and voila, the deadsea.
and voila.. I went to get a pint.. 40+degrees, thats hot for a Jessheim boy!

told short, it was a boring place, very fun to try float around in the water.. DAM how much salt.. felt like somebody was raping my eye when I got just a little drop of the salty water on it..

but, for a spa vacation, doubt you can find a much better place.. QUE chill just to ly and float around there...

can't get this quote out of my head..."here is a tip; Don't pat a burning dog"
know where its from? =)

Sitting in my grandparents basement in Norway.. have to leave for the airport in 2hours..

Been home for a week to take som exams, so I can get student loans. didn't really go too good..
but, thats not really what this post is about..

it is so strange to be in Norway again, Think I experienced a reversed culture shock...
Imagine that for almost half a year, you haven't been in a propper home, you can't understand the languages that are around you, you constantly feel like a stranger to everything you do and everywhere you go..
then vosj, you are where you grew up, surrounded by friends and family, people that you know and love, and people that know and love you.. and maybe even understand you some times.

apart from the insane prices, you understand how the society works, you never find yourself being afraid of some terrorist bombing, you get to eat you grandmothers home made strawberry jam (best in the world).

Reality check is a good word.. yes, there is alot of things happening in the world.. even lots of very important, horrible, great, and strange things happening in other countries than Israel...
but.. I only have one home, and no matter how much I move, travel, experience etc around the world in the future.. that is really important to never forget, who are you really? how does what you do and learn on a day to day basis translate to being of use when you go home again?

in short, I would love to stay here longer, but, I am looking forward to get my hands on some good humus tommorow evning! =)

I wonder..

Sitting at a café today..
see this big big man walking, he bends over to pick up his little child that is running around..
when he bends over you can't help but see that, yes, this man is carrying a gun.
Not too unheard of in this country.
and that is the main point of my wonder..
why do you need a gun?
fine if you feel that some arabs might come and attack you at any time.
but, how will a little revovler help you if you suddenly hear "allah akbar" from the floor underneath you..

so I wonder, have I found maybe the stupedist reason ever as to why guns are bad?
=)

a quicky

Sorry, haven't been a good boy with a propper update for a long time now..
suddenly in the upstart of creating a concept for a green store that is to sell products to inform about and help reduce the amounts of energy we spend in our daily lives.
cool project, but a good bit of work
if you have som green ideas, let me know!

Apart from that, I'm still looking for a good summer job, that can also be abit fun, and I'm looking into different options and offers at to how I'm going to combine my last year at the KaosPilots with projects that I want to do, and getting enough money for food etc..

and the sun is getting hotter here by the day... nice actually =)

holy stuff..., yeah

So..... finally got myself out of Tel aviv for a couple of days...
and now I'm back...
Been in Jeruslem..

started with a buss, me sitting on it, almost shaking, feeling of something bad is going to happen..
well, I'm still alive, so, guess I was wrong.. think I got ripped of by some guys in the small market stands.. butbut..

Jerusalem (the new city that is) remeinds me of any other city in the world, it has a nice charm to it with almost everything built in bright bricks.. but.. thats not why you go there..
I was at a hostel in the old city.. sweetest view from the roof terrace..

strange to be walking around in a city, THE city.. how many people haven't been killed because of that little old city, or at least the places within...

Saw the west wall, was at the temple mound, and the crazy church where all the different christians priests gladly would hurt each other to be able to claim just another cm of the church for their own church..
nice to feel abit into the religious vibe, see the emotions in the belivers, they start crying their eyes out when they see a stone that Jesus slipped on 2000years ago...
hmm..yeah.. think its all still to fresh in my system to explain more propperly.. so.. I won't.. off to the beach instead..
