I don´t always post memes, but when I do...
...they can only be understood by a very small part of the world´s population.
(Sorry guys, I just couldn´t resist)
The interwebz understand me.

Stockholm
I know I had promised some pictures from Stockholm, so I finally pulled myself together and put a small slideshow together with a few of the photos I took.
Soon I´ll make a small mash-up of what I filmed (which was, well, a lot) of the Roger Waters concert, which in case you don´t know, was A-w-e-s-o-m-e. But I promise I won´t make it very long and boring, in case anybody´s interested in watching it. :P
Not now though.
Well, that is all.
(PS - I reposted this video because I came to the realization that it would be nicer to have some music in it - if you don´t like the song or are playing another song in your pc already and don´t wanna turn it off - just mute it. Also, I added a couple of photos just to make the slideshow last as long as the track itself.)
PSS - I have noticed that this video might be blocked in some countries due to the existence of a music track owned by EMI ( -.-")so if this is your case you can still watch the older slideshow without the music here. :)

Winds of change
Hey-yo!
Well, you guys that are on my facebook probably already noticed it, but for you that aren´t or didn´t see it:
I GOT A NEW APARTMENT! *celebrate good times, cmon!*
Out of the blue, 4 days ago, this add comes up on the internet, I send them an e-mail, "hey can I came tomorrow to look at the apartment?" "sure!" I get there the next day, I say I like it and they´re like "well, wanna sign it?", long story short, here I am in my awesome living room with a green sofa.
Been cleaning like a maniac this morning, now it´s all fresh and lemony. ^^
Now I gotta go to work!
Cya! :D

Too Long; Didn´t Read.
I don´t always feel like writing. In fact I rarely feel like writing anything at all; I have my thoughts, they
go around and around in my head, bothering me, enlightening me, but mostly, just disguising other thoughts, without me feeling any need of writing them down.
Once, many years ago on a rainy day - not because it sounds romantic, just because it actually rains a lot in Sweden - a friend and I verbalized an obvious thought (I´ll get back to the verbalizing concept):
You only write when you feel blue. Why? Because when you´re not, you live.
You do not have the need to illustrate your life when you are enjoying it. It´s redundant.
Like Brian May put it a couple of decades ago, too much love will kill you. It´s the human nature, finding
problems where they don´t exist because there is a very small amount of this world´s population that can combine not having any problems with not creating new ones, these are called naive.

If you are one of them you call them bon vivants. Reluctantly I admit that with time and power [over yourself] not only great responsibilities come, but also an exponential development of cynicism.
Maybe that´s just me.Or maybe I´m just making more excuses to justify my shortcomings in being truly happy.
I always say life is what you make of it. That is still true, but it isn´t easy and it does get worse when you
realize that the only one standing in your way is yourself - and you still do nothing about it.
This was my first thought when thinking of broken hearts. This tragic unavoidable cliché.
My second thought is that I´m being silly. That is why I never feel like writing.
If I write about trivialities it´s not worth neither my nor your time, neither my energy nor yours. It´s trivial,
pointless, useless - it´s just thoughts disguising other thoughts, as usual.
If I write some deep, poetical text with a lot of fancy adjectives (which scholars love so much) I feel like I´m still bullshitting myself, thinking I´m confronting undisguised thoughts, but I´m just covering them which something else - making something more painful doesn´t make it more truthful, just more valueable.

The more you suffer for something the more sacred it becomes, thus making it holier and less realistic.
A Romanticized Reality.
(This is something I understood when thinking about the experience of moving to a different country, but that´s another monologue).
Verbalizing a feeling doesn´t make you understand it better, it makes you feel something else.
I guess that´s a good thing, but then again it´s just another disguise (see the cynicism here again, it´s just not my day, I guess).
Brian May was right, according to my ever fatalist view of things: If everything is cupcakes, rainbows and unicorns, either something goes wrong - while doing my best to ignore Murphy´s Law lingering in my brain - or it´s a lie.
But if everybody believes in a lie, then it´s an undeniable truth. Then why shouldn´t we deceive ourselves if it makes us feel better? We ALWAYS do, even if we don´t notice it. Because you make your own interpretations.
See? This is why it´s pointless to me to write about deep stuff - because it´s logical and redundant.
And everybody already knows about it. Maybe they just don´t verbalize it as often.
Freud said that "It is surely of the essence of an emotion that we should be aware of it. Yet it is beyond question that we can 'have' feelings that we do not know about." Now, I´m not a Freud fan. Although he might be right on this one thing.

What a great paradox.
How can you have a feeling, if you don´t feel it? Isn´t that the whole concept of being alive?
To me, right now at two AM on a sunday evening, right here in my living room, I think he´s right.
It´s just disguised thoughts.
This is why I am writing now.
Still, words mean nothing without the loving, caring semantics of someone that understands you.
They mean even less because everybody can make their own interpretation of what I mean.
A universal truth is an individual truth and if that makes you feel lonely, then we are all certainly lonely together.
(But is it really loneliness that we feel? Or are we disguising something else with it?
Perhaps the fear of realizing you only feel lonely because you didn´t make it be in any other way,
because you didn´t have the strength, the courage, the will, or the knowledge of making life like you wanted it to
be). Or maybe I´m just bullshitting my way through fancy adjectives.
And this is why I published it.
What is anything worth if you can´t share it?
That´s why I never had a secret diary. I never wanted it to be secret.

Temporary Hiatus
Hello internet! Still alive - barely.
I just wanted to let you all know that I´m going to be on a temporary hiatus - which I have been for a couple of weeks now - until the first or second week of June.
It´s been crazy living, with work, university, courses and everything so I haven´t had time to be online, and wont be until all this is finished. Then I´ll go medieval on this sh*t. xD
When I get back to reality I will start blogging again, post some cool pics from Stockholm and be my virtual self again. Right now, I´m stuck in time and inside my brain.
So I´ll see you all in some weeks, after all this crazy stress is gone.
Hugz!

A day in Malmö
This is some pics I took when my friend Teresa came to Copenhagen M (lol) with her kids last week. :)
I found out about the children-friendly sides of Malmö.
Never gave a thought to the fact that there was a huge kids park right next to the library.
We got hunted down by hungry ducks.
Little cute bastards like this one. ^^
They´re surrounding us! We´re doomed!!
The weather wasn't fabulous.
They liked the geese that didn't move way more than the ones that did.
Now I´m chillin with mah homie Vivaldi and Beethoven, mah brotha from anotha motha (Me - making classical music Gangsta since 1988) after spending an awesome afternoon/evening with my portuguese mate Sara Pereira from Lund/Amadora (hehe) in the garden with pizza and having a small nostalgic trip with old Portuguese Eurovision songs. :P Songs like this one (this clip is oddly enough from the Swedish broadcast but with Spanish hosting - do ignore the awful Spanish pronunciation of "Desfolhada").
Cya!

Our very own Stockholm-Lisboa project - take two.
Hey-yo!
Today I´m gonna meet up @Malmö with Maria Teresa Ferreira, one of my good Danish colleagues from my time in Lisbon. ^^ It´s amazing how we can adapt, I find it wonderfully fascinating that we hung out in Portugal and saw each other every day, and now we meet in Scandinavia, it just feels surreal that the situation is the same but the environment is completely different. :P
(apparently Sweden and Denmark have the record of most wars ever fought against each other than any other two countries :P)

Why the internet is dangerous, part II
xD
Geez, you never do learn anything constructive, do ya? :P
There you go, a bit more college humor. :)
Too bad I´m too much of a sissy to actually dare a small stunt like this. xD But the thought is indeed enticing.
Gotta go work! Cya latuh :D

It´s the Judean People´s Front!
I have spent the last 5 hours preparing for a seminar, reading Hebrew chronicles (these) about the persecutions in Germany during the first crusade and I am so going to fail this. xD I start reading and I can only think of Monty Python´s Life of Brian. I start reading about the martyrdom (aqedah) of the Rock of Masada - and I can only think of the suicide squad....
My sense of humor is ruining my studies (and my empathy). :S
"That´ll show them, huh..."
(EDIT:
I´m back from the seminar and this kinda sums up my day.

Realm of Dreams
Came back from work with ambitious - as always - projects of finally doing some school work, so I started making a research on the fourth crusade, I have a couple o´things to hand in this week regarding that theme.
But like Peter Griffin and the American Beauty scene (see ref here in case you don´t remember that scene :P) my concentration wasn´t exactly as high as I wanted it to, so I ended up watching a documentary about the Iranian revolution instead which in some inexplicable way lead to me spending the last hour reading about Saami (or Sápmi or Lappish or whatever one prefers) culture, because there was some small song piece on the documentary (which I assume was Iranian music) that reminded me of Joiking. :P
Feel free to call me weird, I still like it.
And so I came across this awesome piece of modern Joiking
(which sounds somewhat like Iron Maiden meets FolkTrad xD): Click here for some Rocking Joiking Dude. ^^
And now, I found this - in my opinion - pretty damn great concert excerpt from a performance by Mari Boine in the Opera House of Oslo, which I find strangely invigorating and relaxing at the same time. :)
And let´s admit it, they do have one of the most awesome languages [evah evah] in the world. :P
Enjoy, and g´night. :)
Wanna hear some more Saami language? Check out this cover of Abba´s Waterloo by Sofia Jannok on the Swedish Eurovision show´s pause entertainment performance. :)

Scandinavia and the World
I just came across this awesome webcomic, which at least for the time being (that is, this past hour) js the best webcomic I´ve seen. (even more entertaining than Cyanide and Happiness, Wullfmorgenthaler and all of those, which I, more often than i´d like to admit, resort to in moments of sheer boredom).
It´s called Scandinavia and the World and I am so captivated by this because it has stricken one of my favourite and biggest humorist chords: stereotypes.
Personally I love stereotypes. Not because I believe in them or because they have any influence whatsoever on how I see people, if they were to be seen in a serious context I would be outrageously against them, that´s for sure, generalization of individuals has never been something to strive for. But seen in a context of pure humor and with a laid-back attitude it can be - at least for me - one of the most fulfilling genres of comedy, because well, 1. When you do confirm a stereotype, it´s often funny as hell, and 2. it kinda gives a sense of peace knowing that you can make fun of somebody without that person being offended, even better, if that person makes a joke back or confirms the stereotype in a matter-of-fact kind of way.
This webcomic is not always politically correct, that has to be said about it, and it does touch very sensitive issues sometimes, but the internet has no [greater] censorship and well, sometimes you do have to enlighten the most taboo-ish issues. And making harmless - even cute - funny stories about them has got to be a good way to lighten up the mood. But I do believe the author of this comic (I believe it´s ~Humon) has a generally good grip on reality, politics and history which add to the legitimacy and of course the quality of the humor itself.
I like it a lot, and I specially recommend it to all of you who have any personal experience with (or are it yourselves) Scandinavian folks because it´s funny as balls. ^^ (Oh, Iceland always sparkles, Finland never says a word and Sister Sweden has only pink furniture).
The use of flags and national symbols is something that indeed differs a lot between countries. :P
[EDIT: Also, I noticed some partial nudity in the cartoons/drawings can occur, just so you know :P]

The Eternal Dilemma
(I know I´m just posting pics today, but I really have nothing new to say, and I´m feeling kind of empty of words, I´ve just been very busy lately and the rampant migraine I´ve had today really does not inspire my writing. :P But everything´s rolling, time goes by and I make the best of it, enjoying all minutes of sweet relaxing boredom and invigorating seconds of excitement, whatever they may be. Feeling surprisingly optimistic, though. :D)

3 Words: I Heart Copenhagen
Well, the mini roadtrip started in the most amazing way, as they always do: eating pizza in the car.
Then we made our way out of Swede-land through tunnels and sh* and made it to Copenhagen Tivoli! :D
Mojo´s apparently awesome, but also awesomely expensive.
Vintage much?
It was cold, but it doesn´t matter! Why? Cuz everybody loves C-town, wether you´re walking through construction sites or riding a limo (which we saw a couple o´times).
Then we made it to Apollo Bryggeri which is like *totally awesome* cuz they make their own beer...
...as shown here...
(this is where the magic happens)
...and you get to drink a whole liter of [actually quite tasty] beer in these awesome glasses, but there´s a catch...
...you have to hand in your shoes and put them in these baskets here, and you only get them back if you manage to drink the whole beer without breaking the glass (which I imagine happens quite often)...
...and if you manage to have two liters, well, you end up looking like this:
Then we headed on to Irish Rover, where they teach you what to do with a drunken sailor.
And we also met the Queen of Sudania (although not pictured here), but in her stead there´s this joyous dancing Danish dude:
There cannot be a Saint Patty´s day without a dozen kegs. It just is not possible.
Then we wandered on to the awesomest Australian bar with the only beer I´ve ever tasted and actually liked. Go Aussies!
And then it was the next day.
:-D
After wandering aimlessly in the shopping street, thriving in all the human activity (which is oh, so rare, farther up north) it was finally time to go back to Sweden.
:(
*The End*

Is it Friday again?...
Damn, this week just disappeared. I´ve been busy following the news in Japan and Lybia, getting sick of anger with the "karma-for-Pearl-Harbor" idiots (I´m sure you guys who have me on Facebook noticed my utter revolt regarding this matter, I don´t think I´ve ever been so active on FB as I was this week) and working my ass off for that company that is slowly eating up my brains on the inside. xD
Then I also was on a job interview (we´ll see how that goes, I might be ending up with two 80% jobs, that would be kewl ^^ = Vacations! [eventually] :D) and then I started this course at the University of Lund about the crusades, how they affect politics today and yaddayaddayadda[boringstuff?] so I´ll be keeping busy the next few months with eventually two jobs, a bunch of courses and stuff. =D
This weekend will be yet another one [well] spent on the interpretation course! :D Tomorrow we´re starting out with medical interpretation, we´ll be doing this for a month or so and it will be so awwwwesome! :D
Since it´s Friday, I´m gonna put out a RWJ song for all you geeks out there! ;)
*Partying with Darth Vader and Voldemort*
I´ll be posting some pics from our little night out in Copenhagen soon. Not just yet. :P
(It´s snowing again!! Are you f*ing kidding me?!...)
Geez...
:P

Partying in Copenhagen HEY-YO
Due to a ridiculous amount of randomness I´m gonna spend the night in C-town, baby!
Woooo, partey! Or well, probably just bar-sitting sipping on some cider (wishing it was Moscatel xD) finishing a pack of cigarettes in a preposterous amount of time. :P Still, ´sgonna be fu-uu-un..!
Now, since I got an extended schedule today, I´m gonna bust mah ass off at work and be a total zombie when I finally head out...(the boss told me however if we feel that it´s too much and that we can´t handle the pressure that we could leave early. I have to admit it isn´t the easiest job to do for a whole lot of hours). But that won´t happen cuz I got a ride to C-town, unless I wanna wait in the dark area right by the "crazy-people" hospital that is S:t Lars, in Lund. :P
I wanna dedicate this song to my Danish peeps out in L-town, Maria Teresa Ferreira and Malene G. Seabra. ;) Hehehehe.
Cya tomorrow!

Booooooooooooks!!!
I heart the annual book sales *teary eyes*
Cheap books has got to be one of the most joyous things modern society has to offer.
OMG YAY!1!!(one)!!1
It went well!! Wohoo!
The person that called me, Anamaria (I had exchanged some e-mails with her earlier actually, but I didn´t know she was going to be the one to make the interview) she was really nice, seemed like a genuinely good human being, because you can hear on the phone that she was smiling. xD She made some standard questions and I think I answered them in the best way possible (my voice was shaking but I think it went just fine on that front actually) and she seemed happy with the answers, since she didn´t ask any questions back regarding my answers. ^^ And it took like 10-15 minutes so it wasn´t as torturing as I´d done it in my imagination. :P
So...I´ll get an answer on how I did on March 15th, and then we´ll see! :)
On a personal note, I think I did really well. ^^
The person that called me, Anamaria (I had exchanged some e-mails with her earlier actually, but I didn´t know she was going to be the one to make the interview) she was really nice, seemed like a genuinely good human being, because you can hear on the phone that she was smiling. xD She made some standard questions and I think I answered them in the best way possible (my voice was shaking but I think it went just fine on that front actually) and she seemed happy with the answers, since she didn´t ask any questions back regarding my answers. ^^ And it took like 10-15 minutes so it wasn´t as torturing as I´d done it in my imagination. :P

oooo00OOOHH....FREAK OUT!
The University in Lund is gonna call me in an hour - yes, it´s a freaking phone interview!!! - and I´m so nervous :S What will they ask me? What am I going to say, what if I say something wrong, what if I get nervous and just blab a bunch of BS and ruin everything? Unfortunately I know I have that "capability" of completely losing the ability to speak. A memorable occasion as when I was doing a language test and surprise surprise, it was the oral exam - well, I got so nervous I didn´t speak for waaay too many seconds *awkward silence* and when I finally did it didn´t make any sense. It made no sense at all...*So much fail*
Well, at least like this I don´t have to worry about my palms sweating (well, sweating in general, I guess many of us always have those annoying self-conscious obsessive-compulsive thoughts, haha) or choosing the wrong clothes to wear, or whatever one might think about while in an interview.
Dear lord.....

Ehrm.....
Because it´s only 3am and I don´t have to be at work at all tomorrow, no, not at all, nooo... (sarcasm much?) I decided to finally translate my profile description
that one over there ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------>
from Swedish to English, cuz I bet it has been annoying most of you. :P
It has come to my mind many times before that I really should change that, but I clearly could not have found a better timing than this one (when I really should be sleeping).
That was it. :P
G´night folks!

Janis Joplin and some randomness
On stage I make love to twenty five thousand people; and then I go home alone.
This sentence always makes me wonder. About many things. One of them is ambitions. Not only mine, but other´s ambitions, do people really know what they want? Does anybody truly, sincerely, know what to strive for?
So, is anybody truly happy, or just settling for life?
They say the 80´s generation is like that, we who were born in the 80´s are never satisfied with our lives, with our goals, we always want more, but here´s the special thing about us: we never know exactly what it is we want. Either we want nothing and therefore lack motivation for, well, everything; or we want too many things!
We want to be everything, feel, experience everything, all the niches reality has to offer, simply because we cannot make a decision. A decision to fully appreciate what a certain choice might give, risking losing other things. Or is making that decision just settling? Just settling for what you can get, without daring to dream, because dreams don´t always come true.
Life becomes what you make of it. If it can´t be done, change perspective.
(and by this I don´t mean change where you are, but change how you feel about what you already have.)
Now I´m gonna quit blabbing on about these thoughts (annoying you guys with boring stuff ^^) and I´m gonna enjoy my Saturday evening, cuz I gotta work tomorrow. ;)
Oh, and props to my sis for making such an awesome meme-cake:
(see meme here: http://artoftrolling.memebase.com/2011/03/02/comic-troll-howd-you-guess/ )
Also, I hear a small town in Spain has reintroduced the peseta to boost the local economy...I must say, I don´t know what to think of this, I have a quite solid though [highly] ambiguous opinion about the euro, and this surprised me at the same time that I asked myself why this hasn't happened before. I don´t know whether to see this as a positive initiative originating from an existing necessity (well, it is, but...) or if this only destabilizes an already fragile monetary situation (which it probably does if it were to be a long term phenomena). I do understand both sides of this question and find valid arguments - that I actually find realistic - on both sides of the coin (hehe pun).
I can say two things though, this might have unforeseen consequences (specially if this were to spread, which I don´t find that unthinkable). If any, the stores that have been accepting pesetas will lose a lot of money and everybody else would have officially gotten their things for free, since the money is out of circulation, and how easy is it to track the purchases if it´s at a bigger scale? (would they even want to track since it might be illegal? Can it be regarded as trading, as foul play by the stores, or even as stealing, by the buyers? I don´t have a great knowledge on the legal matters here, if anybody does, please elucidate me :P).
I guess you can just call it plain trading commerce in that case, since the legality of the money itself is not in question because even if they do use an exchange rate to define value, it´s just inadequate terminology, because the "money" cannot be seen as _money_ but as any other object. The question is, is this even legal? And if it is in some crazy way, then I do not see a bright future for any of us would this become larger (well, maybe us in Scandinavia might not lose that much, I guess it would be worse in some ways but positive in others. But still, for the rest of the E. Union and specifically the euro countries, it would be catastrophic for at least 10 years). And second, but not quite as exciting, I actually wouldn´t mind using up my old escudos [and pesetas, etc] that are lying around in my room (yes, I do have some). :P

TGIF
Wohoo, it´s frii-iiii-dAy!
Now I´m gonna go have a leisurely stroll through the town of Ass-love (that´s right, Eslöv) and go get some books I ordered ^^ Yayy! Then I´m gonna go to work and stare at the clock ticking away my time. :P
Since we all sometimes need to blow of some steam, and I don´t feel being on a foul mood, I´m gonna leave you here with a vid that frankly made me laugh today. :P
Enjoy (and your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries)
Have a good one ;)
