Don't worry, be happy!

This is a great song that I think is impossible not to like. I've never seen the video before but it is also great, silly and great. It is really making this night a little brighter. :-)

Ps. K-Å, se till att ML.... tittar på den!


LUZEN

For you :-)
I love this song (in this original version) but SEEING the video and the artist is... horrific!!! Haha! Don't forget to check out the hot dancers in the background. Enjoy! Mattew Wilder with his Break My stride.
Unfortunatly they took it away, who ever it was. You can't see the video here in INCH but click and you'll see it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHqKqQtA7UI

Parking Link

I'm on a role (is it written like that?) tonight. Here is the great Linkin Park. This is a bit weird videos, actually a mit of old ones but I am not putting it here because of the video. Am only interested in the song(s). They are quite easy to listen to, even for those with sensitive ears. Got my Hybrid Theory on a birthday several years ago. From my brother of course! I am not sure but I think his friend with very good music taste, C Palm, had told him that it is a god CD. He does that sometimes. He keeps track of new and good music. I've only met him once really. Here in the city I live in even, but that was about 7 years ago. Then once very quickly maybe a couple of years ago. Hooray for brothers and Norwegians :-)

Yes, I am in a babbling mood today.

Pride

Here is the movie that I think is so funny! Everyone has different sence of hunor and the things said and done in this movie is so good. Not that they are made to be comedie funny, they are just good and therefore funny in my eyes. It is not what I usually watch but I really liked it, it was better than I had expected. Remember that I had to sit in lower part of the cinema since there was so many people. It was one of the movies I didn't seeing by myself.

Pride and Prejudice, 2005

The City

Most of this is quite boring but there are a few of those places that I recognize. The Victoria Theater I think I've visited once. It was quite nice. The outside of the cathederal is a sight I sure recognize too. I've been inside once when the incompetent people that were in charge of the my friends and my stay there arranged a guided tour around the city center, after several months. That not very good guided tour that day was pretty much everything they did for us... I NEVER liked Letticia which was one of the high hens) It was in the middle of the center. In the end they show the Arms Square which is also right in the middle. There you see a little what it looked like. In the square they often had small markets and to the right somewhere they have I Sears store if I'm not misstaking. It was one very boring store (and the first and only Sears I've been to). I liked the square though... In some of the corners they hade nice cafés, nice ice cream and REAL nacho plates, not that very weird thing they serve here in Sweden.

Indian shake

Hahaha... I put this video under funny and music, but I don't which one is the most correct ;-) I have a feeling that it is supposed to be a "serious" video but I simply can't see it as serious. I also have a feeling that the subtitles are NOT correct, but what do I know. Nothing. If anyone who sees this, he or she is very welcome to shortly explain what the song is about.

Long night

Sometimes I hate nights. If feeling lonely during daytime, the possibilities to find SOMEONE to talk to to kill some time and just being social to take away the feeling of being too far from everyone and everything, is much greater. That opportunity doesn't excist at night. The amount of people that are awake at this time of night are simply too few. I should go to bed. I really don't feel like it, not until I have taking away the craving for some social nourishment..or something. I have many things to do, not the least analyzing leadership courses. That is about the last thing I feel like doing. I hope the neighbours can't hear the music I'm playing relatively loud. The same song over and over again. I just love it. The original of course. More about that song another day, or night.

As my sister says, that I am up very late at night. The time gives me away. As if I actually care that people think I go to bed too late. Well, when they give me good reasons not going to bed so late, I might go to bed earlier. Since I usually don't have many things that I have to do at a certain time, why go up earlier just to adjust to people that won't see me at that time anyway since I spend most of my time by myself anyway. It's not like I have anyone to spend time with in a normal way in a day-to-day way. Last time that it was, at least almost like that, was when I studied human rights, I think, since we had classes almost everyday and often 2x2 hours. Btw, I wonder what that Mia is doing nowadays...and her husband who probably is one of the best looking guys I think I've ever meet. Too bad those two meeting only lasted for a total of 5 minutes probably. Maybe I should try to find another guy from Gambia to marry? Hahaha! Well, he has 11 siblings so he ought to have at least a few nice brothers. Hmm, if I remember correctly none of them live in Sweden.

So, what am I doing? Well, none of the things I ought to, sleep or write the stupid pages. I am sitting here blogging instead. I just finished wathing a movie that I've already seen. Not a very good movie but it was ok. Why? Hmm.. I wonder :-)

See, I am tired not sleepy but one thing is for sure. My brain isn't very creative when it comes to writing about interesting and relevant things. Ok, ok. I give up. I'll try to read the chapter called "Leadership and development of leading competence". Sounds fun huh? Right.

AM Incubus, or morning demon hehe

Incubus again, this time with Anna Molly. I don't really like the sailor style. Brandon should get rid off the striped thing he's wearing :-)

Pink

This is not really my style but the song is OK, not good but OK. I listened to it so many times last year. Mostly I had music channels on TV, hence few options. One thing is sure though, the song is much better than the movie. One day I was so bored, didn't have anything to do and the Pink Panter was the only movie at that time that I hadn't seen yet so the options were slim. I knew before I bought the ticket that it isn't really what I like and I was very right, I almost feel ashamed having payed money to see such a bad movie. Eg. I think that Pride and Prejucide is MUCH more FUN!!!

Respected or disrespected occupations?

Salesmen salesmen salesmen... I get crazy! I don't want to become a ...... saleswoman!! I don't want to. It sucks! Been there, done that, don't want to try it again. Living in a country where service in different ways is the future is not always good. It means that many (most?) of the job ads are about service, in this case about selling stuff. It's just not me. Being criticized for what feels like two hours straight after just being nice, polite and doing my job, doing my part of what is expected by people in working age, wears at least me out. Being lied at, recieving rude comments etc. (not all of course, but still quite a few!). I prefere cleaning. It is actually better, even if there are some people that think they can treat cleaners as they want to just because they happen to by higher up in the food chain. It can actually be quite good to try it out even if is no fun job at all as I see it. Some people only see the clothers you are wearing with the logotype of the cleaning company and the broom, not the actual person who sometimes or maybe even relatively often has a really good, respectable and high education. It is hard work! Often lonely and of course dirty. Being supposed to be rather quiet or even "invisible". The well known fact that it is mostly women and not the least foreign women who works as cleaners...and that I experienced it with my own eyes. Some obviously think they are too good for such jobs just because they are of the noble, fair haired breed...

Baby laugh

Wasn't life so much EASIER and FUN when being a baby or at least very young?! This is a very happy little boy (and dad for that matter)!

I love tea

I love tea! My beloved, big, white, tea mug that I always used while working. They just happened to have this mug. There was another nice one that I liked but it was already taken. The smallest woman had the biggest mug :-) It was made of glas and it was blue...but it didn't say "I love tea" so it still doesn't beat this one. Nowadays, when not working, I don't drink as much tea at all. As I have said many times, I'll never be grown up enough to start drinking coffee, so tea it is! Go tea! ;-)

"Where are you from?"

Sometimes I wonder the "point" of being from a certain part of the world. People can rarely guess where people are from, they (including myself) simply can't pinpoint facial features that sometimes are more or less specific for certain populations. People (usually people who are not Swedish) have guessed that I am from Russia, Turkey even China once, and many other places, but never the right one. That at the same time as Swedes in general never ask me where I am from. Strange but interesting. It shows that when people mix with eachother as they do, it matters even less where you are from really, or it should at least. Somehow it seem important to some people to know the origin of others. Do they want to know if he or she can identify him or her self with me or not? Do they want to know on who's side I'm on? Is Sweden among other places that segregaded? I honestly don't know.

About looking different, one song by Britney that I actually like and I don't mind her motorcycle ride...

Kiss Gene

This is a man with a very long tongue but he is not the only one. Of course his is extreme but I know a couple of more people who also have quite long tongues :-P


Stigmata

I am watching Stigamata and it reminds me of how much I like this kind of movies, about heaven and hell. I don't know why, but they are scarier in that satisfying way than many other scary movies. I've liked these kind of movies since I was little. Remember watching them and loving the "puzzle" of things happening and the meanings of them. Here the signs of stigmata, the five of them, in another movie water turning in to blood etc. Always leading you forward. Never really having any control since it is the two biggest forces. Satisfies the need of mystery.

Damien

I must say that Damien is NOT a good name in my ears...hehe. My mother let me watch to scary movies when I was little ;-) Some things just get stuck in my head.

Damien Marley ft. Nas "Road to Zion"

Red Flag

Honestly I haven't really listened to the lyrics of this song but I should. The reason I put it here is that I love the sound. It is something in the way they combine the singing and the music that I really like. If had more music knolwedge I might have been able to descirbe or even name exactly what it is that I like. The singer's voice isn't what I usually like, it is not so deep, but it really works here.

I have no idea who they are, never heard them before. I just stumbled upon it while searching for something else. Stumbling might sometimes hurt but often gives you something else and good in return. When it comes to music I think that many people are too focused to only listen to the music they are used to. There are so many groups and artists but also genres outhere that you might not even know they exist. Suddenly you hear them and you see a timy light :-) Sometimes it is just that single song and sometimes it is a whole group discovery.

Billy Talent - "Red Flag"

Fäääärdi! (I'm doooooone)

After more than 17 years in school I am finally done! I can hardly believe it!

Bad girl, Natasja!

I have been a very bad girl lately...not blogging as I "should" ;-) and now I don't really have the time. I have to get up early tomorrow and do something important even if not very fun and I have loads to read until then. Hmm...not good. So I should stop writing now and continue with my other stuff. At least I'll leave you with somethingto listen to.

Chaka Demus & Pliers...TEASE ME! Tihiii...

Наташа

Наташа, Natasja in kyrillic (and the other forms of the name), which is a nickname for Natalia. It is made out if the latin expression dies natalis that menas birth of Christ, in other words, Christmas day. I never got the name Maria but still I got a Christian name...weird huh? Considering... ;-) Haha...yes, I am well aware of how increadiable egoistic this is but let's see it as a compensation for the fact that I very rarely celebrate my name days (this isn't even one of those days) :-D

Storm swisch swisch

Storm...and a big one here in Sweden! 2 killed by falling trees so far, 9 and about 60 years old. I am not happy about some having to drive tomorrow. Really hope that the storm has passed by then. I am stying inside, just as I and everybody else are supposed to. This photo is not taken here...but it sure is a very nice photo of a storm!


Simpsons

The Simpsons. Always modern, always fun and always silly. Funny detail. The ultraconservative FOX channel that sends the serie even though it is very critical of Bush and what he stands for. Nope, the conservatives only care about the money Simpsons generate. Surprised? I'm not.

Creepiest man on earth

Just as the name "Bush" only can mean one thing in "any" language, the word "Massenmörder" can mean one thing in "any" language. Taken in Vienna...

Hey Yeaaah

Tjohoooooo :-D It's in, it's over, it's done. Turned it in on time and I am just relaxing today after haven't slept. Final opposition awaits.

Hey Ya with Outcast...

Inevitable return of the cold pizza

Strangely (?) enough, cold pizza can be very tasty. A good thing living by myself is that I never have to worry anymore that someone else in the family has laid a hand on the leftovers from the night before as breakfast. It's MINE ;-) I just ate my last piece of cold pizza as breakfast/snack and to celebrate my happy tummy I will play "The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope" with Bloodhound Gang for you! (I really like the song but I don't like the video (I hate this movie!))

Sugar


"Suga, suga" that Baby Bash ft. Frankie J and sings is hardly a very "intelligent" song but I love the feeling of the this song. Yes, it is a bit cheese but I don't mind in this case. During one home exam I had once, at least a year ago, I had "Suga, Suga" and "Dynamite" (I'll play it another day) on repeat in Winamp almost the whole week. Perfect to listen to while studying :-) It is hard to see it here, but Bash has very nice bright eyes, the unusual kind...

Wish...

I could sit here and wave my feet right above the water, even in this dark, cold weather, if it only meant that today and tomorrow were over. Just a few more hours that I have to keep going but I see the light in the end of the tunnel...


SLEEP beep beep

Problem. I am done for tonight. "Already" actually (yea yea, I know that most of you think it is VERY late but it isn't for me these days. I sleep just as much as any of you I just go to bed later than you. My problem is that I am not tired. I know that I will mostly just lay in bed trying to fall asleep but feeling quite awake. I wish I had that same switch as a specific person in my family has. Sit/lay down --> sleeeep. For me it just means to sit or lay down. Just because I am not very sleepy it doen't mean that I am very bright and have funny tjings to write at almost 4.30 AM. So, bed, here I come! Tired, not sleepy, headache but without cure (no pill that is).

Maybe if I was a little smaller and fluffier I would also fall asleep. I have enough hair but it isn't as spread out nor fluffy. I think I lack the necessary dream fluff to sleep!

Slip of finger?!

or just an example how it COULD have slipped? *unknowing bigtime*

"Räetteölse" hihi. Worthy of a song that I KNOW the slippry finger person like (and me too of course!). Now he can sit and learn the lyrics a little better ;-) For you KÅ alså called D: Hello Dolly with The Armstrong!

Open ear, not air

Incubus, alternative rock band from the US. For >15 years they have had a career. When you see them, not the least the singer (Brandon Boyd), you don't think of that Incubus means:

"In Western medival legent, an incubus (plural incubi) is a
demon in male form supposed to lie upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have sexual intercourse with them. They are also believed to do this in order to spawn other Incubi. The Incubus drains energy from the woman it performs sexual intercourse upon in order to sustain itself. In most cases it either kills the victim or leaves the victim in very weak or fragile condition. A female version was called a succubus." (Wiki)

or...maybe that is what you might think of.....




Green spot

Silly... hihi

Autumn/fall

I never know which word to use, just with a very few people (that is if they are English or Americans). Anyway, this photo is taken during this time of year, one wonderful day. Now there are not as much sun nor time for me to be walking around :-( Soon, very soon I will be out in the world again ;-)

I'll go crazy

I'll go crazy, crazy... Not for the same reasons as these girls but because my brain simply can't teach my fingers to spell "identity" right in Swedish. I KNOW how it is spelled but when writing fast I always get wrong. "I D E N T I T E T" or "I D E N T I T E T E R"...there are just too many "t" in the stupid word which probably also is the word I need to use more than any other in my text.


Btw, how could such an ugly man get such a beautiful daughter? If you didn't know, it was thanks to this video that Alicia Silverstone got her breakthrough as an actris. I am not very fond of this song but it is ok and I think it is little of a classic.


What's the problem?

Sometime you just think of something that reminds you of something good in your life, a person, an event, a time of your life. I am as usually these days sitting and writing. Sometimes it is more fun to write the final words even it you are not done with the middle and I think I have found the "perfect" final line... A certain Cecilia once gave me a chance of a lifetime and I took it and I am very grateful for the chance I got. The experience gave me so much, some really good things and some really bad things (that still bother me and make me sad) but as another very wise woman always says, "there is nothing bad that doesn't contain something good". So I try to see the bad things as useful lessons. (the main one so far: Some people are idiots that you should stay far away from, they seem nice in the beginning but they are everytjing but...)

One thing I already knew (that has nothing to do with my bad experiences) was that people are stupid that think that "we" are so much better than "them", whether it is within Sweden or outside of Sweden. What is most important, to stay as you are and protect what you consider to be "yours" or to learn and appreciate also what is different from what you know and are used to? We are just one among many!

I think Cecilia is worthy of the final words in my text since she was the one givning me this chance which led me to chose a very specific subject to spend my final months in school thinking and writing about.
When I interviewed Cecilia some weeks ago, she spontaneously said "is there any antagonism?".

Booooooring

Oh, no. I am getting restless and want out of here but I can't. I have to keep writing, thinking, cutting and pasting. Bläää... Lately I have taken a brain break every now and then by blogging and since that is the best think I can do right now, at 9.49 pm, is to have a brain break I guess this will have to do. Not that I have anything really special to say, I am just babbling :-) *making barking shadow dogs on the wall* Sounds more fun though to make duck sounds to the dogs than to bark. Think of how useless things I am saying right now, then think of how restles and useless *I* must feel ;-)

No guns?

Of course no guns! I don't like the fact that I actually saw this sign in a mall in Bratislava. I must say though that I felt much more safe in this capital city (at least in the center where I spent most my time) than in the small cities around here in Sweden, no matter what time of day or night.


Insanity

Is this soft or is this soft?! I have always liked this song very much. It tends to get on my playlists. He is one of the few persons wearing hats of different kind that I think is ok, not good, but ok. Jamiroquai with his "Virtual Insanity"

Hunny Bunny

Another creepy animal. WHY do they have this huge, ugly, pink rabbit in a window?! I can imagine small children having night mares about it. "Mummy, mummy, the monster rabbit is in the closet....moooooäää, mmoooäää* Pic taken in Vienna.

Alone I Break


Some more KoRn for you or at least for me. Alone I Break... Many think that this kind of music has no melody but I couldn't dissagree more. I would actually say that many metal music has nicer melodies, more melodic melidies than many popular songs played on the radio. I am convinced it has a lot to do with the willingness to actually listen and not dismiss all metal immediately just because it doesn't sound like the music you are used to and some even because the artists have "funny haircuts" and often long (isn't that awfully like the criticism against Beatles...?) or wear "strange" clothes. Not that everyone has to like it but at least give it a few chances, just like I and many with me have to while listening to music in other peoples company. With friends, at discos, restaurants, gym everywhere where music is played not the least from the radio. Actually I often feel forced to listen to music I don't like or even can stand more than one minute but that's life. There are just a couple of people that I can listen to more or less the same music with but I don't spend that much time with them. The rest of the time I just have to accept a lot of really bad and cheesy music without soul and real energy (late Madonna, 50 Cent, Agnes etc.). If you have listen to any other music here at INCH, you'll know that metal hardly is the only genre I listen to or appreciate. So no, I am all but snowed in on heavy music. Take a look at my favorite music in my profile.

Yes, funny looking guys are going to ruin the minds of the young...as they always have.

So here you have KoRn with "Alone I Break".

Possessed cat

Creepy cat. Call for a priest!


Funny cheese

Slovaks like cheese, that's for sure. Not only fried cheese (mmm...) but also these in these shapes and many others. It looks spaghetti and a bun, but it is a little bit salty cheese.

Vindmölla

Windmills are common here. I took this photo summer 2006 right after visiting a young artist in her little art store next to this windmill and the ocean. Usually the ground is much more green and colourful but the unusually hot summer effectively stopped that.

Liberals flirting with racists, as usual

These politicians...or should I say some of them. *sigh* Now they are proposing to forbid the use of any language that is not Swedish in the class room in schools in Malmö (third biggest city)! Yeah right, it helps children with a foreign background to learn Swedish by not being able ta speak their own language! In countless surveys there has been proven that good knowledge in the mother tongue is very important in learning new/other languages. Folkpartiet (The Liberal Party of Sweden (liberal in Sweden = rightwing)) has got stuck in their freaking "SPEAK SWEDISH OR YOU'R OUUUUUT!-politics". Of course one should learn Swedish if you live in Sweden, I couldn't agree more, but it has to be under the right circumstances and with the right tools. Forbidding things has rarely led to anything good (unless it has to do with dangerous things). As I said to myself and in the radio last night, only incompetent politicians would forbid the use of a language to promote another one instead of using positive incentives and smart solutions. Out with the carrot and in with the whip! Swisch... Again and again the Liberals suggest things that clearly flirt with the racist currents*! I don't know what is worst, that they do or that people keep VOTING FOR THEM?


In Swedish about the proposal:

Cool DMX

And the blogging this night continues. Now with DMX :-D He is rather cool too...even cooler than the the Coooool Kitty (or Kater or kote? :-)) ...even if I've heard about some less flattering things he's done. It doesn't make me like this song less! I like his rough voice. "X gonna give it to ya" Yeah. I definitley prefere like this music more than the boring, brainless "ho and pimp" music that is so popular now (not that he hasn't made such videos too..). Brainless but not headless :-/

Tuesday, January 02, 2007

Oh, my! I haven't been blogging several hours! What is wrong with me? Hmm...no fever... Strange. Well, that can only mean on thing: some heavy midnight blogging! Yeah... Let's start with The Cool Kitty Headbanger!

Doesn't my stapler look a little bit like an Alien? :-)

Very usefull for me to keep track of

Donald dancing samba in Rio!!!

Oh, look what I found!!! This are several classical brazilian music in combination with Donald Duck. It is really nice, both to listen to and look at, even if you don't know portuguse! Not that I have a clue what Donald is saying (is he speaking in French??), only the parrot whom I don't know the name of. They are in the most beautiful city and country on earth according to me, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil! Btw, this is really how Brazilians can be hihi... How can you NOT be happy when being there? ...and it has nothing at all to do with the cachaca. I love this music :-D Be sure that I will play more Brazilian music here, I have already several in stock.

I say the same Donald, oh boy, oh boy oh boy, oh boy, samba!

Hypnotizing

Haha...this guy is at least open with his message, no BS, unlike many other things we hear, see on the radio/TV and read in magazines.

Diamonds are the most precious and valuable but also the hardest to make fit...
