I blame Taco Bell!

It was a while ago since I wrote something on here, I've just been crazy busy with school. Good thing is that I'm doing very well! I only got one wrong on my first history test, a B on my first English paper, a B on my first Biology test and A's on the two first math tests! So I'm keeping up, but damn it's much to do. Tomorrow the next english paper is due, and I'm pretty much done with it, so that's nice. Tuesday I have my practical midterm exam in Biology Lab, and that's gonna suck. It's such a hard class and I hope that I will do ok, I'm gonna start studying for it after I've wrote this!

The other day I was on my way home from school and felt like some Taco Bell for lunch. Appearantly Taco Bell would not take my Visa card, I got the food and the Taco Bell people said "ehm.. you can go and take out some cash and come back to pay". So I did, nice as I am, and they seemed very surprised that I came back to pay. When I was on my way home from Taco Bell I stopped behind this SUV at a red light, and I just realized that I didn't get any sauce from Taco Bell. While I'm looking in my bag for sauce, my foot slipped off the brake and I slammed into the SUV in front of me... One very big guy and his driving girlfriend came out cursing and shit and all I could say was that I was sorry, we drove into a parking lot and examined their car and it seemed as if nothing happened to it. Not a scratch could be seen on their car, but they took my insurance information anyway but they probably wont file anything since no damage was visuable. So that sucked, and I'm gonna sue Taco Bell for it. Ok maybe not, but I should!! This is also proof of that Karma does not exist, I was nice enough to go back and pay Taco Bell for the food, and then I slam into a car on the way home? Fuck that, no more mr. nice guy!

As most of you shiver in the cold Swedish winter, I'm enjoying 30 degrees heat! I was off from school tuesday so I went to the beach to study! It was awesome, just laying there in the hot sun and doing some homework, I thought about my fellow Swedes and laughed in an evil way! I'm so gonna pay for it though, because today it's only 20 degrees outside. The temperature is supposed to come up again soon though, so that's nice! Shorts in October is teh shit!

I also bought a new videogame a couple of weeks ago, I haven't had much time to play it until just recently. The game is Skate and it's awesome! Very realistic and it has an incredibly nice feeling to it. It reminds me of when I used to skate and how much fun that was. In comparison to the only skateboarding series that existed before; The Tony Hawk series, this is truly something else! It also has an online feature with rankings and whatnot. It's a lot of fun competing online against other players, or just skating together with other people and try to bust the biggest trick!
The offline game is big as shit, you have a whole city to skate around in, and you can skate on almost everything you see. One cool feature is the replay editor, with which you can edit what you just did and put effects on your movie and then publish it on the net! The game has a lot of small things that's irritating though, but overall it's truly an awesome game! A review of the game will be up in Swedish on http://www.snitch.se soon!

I have some more things to talk about, but I have to start studying now, so I will leave that for the next post!

Peace Puss to you all!

Intense!

Damn, this week has been crazy, I knew that I had a English paper due, and a math test, but I got so much other stuff to do monday... I have been studying basically all my free time this week. Today it has calmed down a bit, I have some homework to do, but not much, and since I'm off tomorrow, I will do that then! I'm just glad that this week is almost over! I killed the math test btw, I think I will get a really good grade on that one, and I also think I did very good on my English paper!

This weekend me and my roommate is going to a beach, a friend of ours has rented a beach house together with his girl friend for the weekend and they invited us to come down there! I'm not really sure where it's located, all I know it's about 2.5 hours from here and on a beach! So that will be cool, a nice relaxing weekend after this hectic week of school!

Not much else has happened, school is taking up almost all my time, and the rest of my time I'm too tired to do shit, so I mostly watch TV or play video games. Big brother 8 ends on Thursday (it's soooo much better than the Swedish version) and a daughter and a dad that hadn't spoke in 4 years or something is probably gonna win... They played the game in an very good way, but they weren't very nice doing it though... but I guess they deserve to win since they have made it this far! Being mean apparently works in the Big Brother game! Survivor starts next week, and that's an awesome reality show actually, the reality shows here is so different from the ones in Sweden. Here it's a game, in Sweden they just take the dumbest, blondest and the most big breasted girls (and the male opposite), throw some alcohol on them and film it... not very fun.

Speaking of dumb, blond girls... some American girls (read, most) are just so annoying... I have Biology Lab once a week and the first time I ended up with this group that had a guy in it that didn't give a shit about what we did, he just wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. The second time I ended up in a group with 4 girls that started fighting and I got in between. I mean, come the fuck on... I'm there to learn, and these people apparently don't give a shit about that, and it throws me off. But I'm trying to ignore it and focus on what I'm doing instead!

Ok, that's all for now! Peace out folks!

School has begun!

And damn it's so much to do, right away too. I have homework everyday, books I need to read in order to keep up with the classes, and my first english paper is due next friday... So I'm loaded with stuff to do. Which actually is very nice, something to occupy my time with, it's just a little overwhelming when it's so much right away. I've decided to not study anything today because I'm too tired to think straight.

The classes I'm taking now is, English 112, History 102, Math 4, and Biology 101 including 3 hours of lab every week. The hardest class so far is biology, it's incredibly interesting, but it's also a whole lot of big words which makes i so hard for me to understand. I thought I could fake it at first, and just remember which word does what, but I found out that that doesn't work very well. So I have a lot of catching up to do this weekend, it's a 3 day weekend because monday is Labor day, some type of holiday.

Even though I have so much studying to do, I have started to write some reviews for a recently instated website called snitch.se. I am in charge of the videogames-section, which suits me perfectly. My first review is of the game Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Wii. The site is completely in Swedish, so you non-swedish-speaking readers won't understand the review at all, but I can tell you that the game is awesome! Using the WiiMote to move around is truly amazing and it makes you really forget about reality for a while!
My review can be found here!

Other than that, not much has happened, I'm focusing on school as much as I have the energy to (which means doing homework and shit for about 3-4 hours a day...)and the rest of my time, I'm too tired to do anything physical. The writing is a nice break, so is the videogames, so it's really cool that those two things goes hand in hand for me now! I'm hoping to get some games from Nintendo that I can review, but that will probably not happen.
My next review is probably going to be of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series. Me and my roommate is working on a theme park right now that will blow you away when you see it! It's basically perfect so far! If anyone is interested you can find two pics of our park here!

Peace out y'all! Show me the money, shoooow it!

Are you Superbad?

I saw a trailer for the movie Superbad long ago and decided then that I was going to see that movie so hard. It premiered friday and I just got home from seeing it. And DAAAMN it was funny. Way over my expecta- tions!





It's about two guys that are best friends, they are in their last weeks in high school and unfortunatly they didn't get in to the same college so this is basically the last weeks together. They get invited to a party at one of the "cool" kids house and are given the task to find liquor to the party because their friend just got a fake ID with the name "Mc Lovin" on it (that's the whole name on the card). This causes a lot of problems which is very funny.
The movie is made by the same guys who made Talladega Nights (which I actually hated and turned of after half the movie) and the 40 year old Virgin, but it's waaaaay funnier than both of those movies. Awesome casting too, the characters were spot on!

Everybody should check that movie out! You won't get disappointed!

Btw, school starts Friday. Yay!

Peace out gangstas!

Cedar Point

Last Thursday we decided to do a 10 hour road trip up to Ohio and the worlds best Amusement park; Cedar Point. The park has 17 roller coasters and a bunch of other fun stuff to do. They have the most insane rides I have ever been on. Top Thrill Dragster for instance... It starts off by blowing you forward until you have reached 120 mph (200 km/h) then you turn straight up for 420 feet (128 m) goes over a small hill and then straight down while you're doing a twist. The ride is over after only 17 seconds, but daaaamn it was some scary seconds. Off course I had to put my arms up at the top of the track and held them there until the car was stopped! :D
Because of the wonderful invention of youtube, I can actually show you what it looks like!

Ignore the music


Other than that one, they have one of the tallest "Giga Coasters" in the world; the Millenium Force, we did the mistake of waiting until it was dark before riding that one, and since the train goes thru woods there was tons of bugs everywhere, and when you are going fast as hell straight in to bugs you get them everywhere. We actually didn't get that many bugs on us, but the guys sitting in the front seat had them everywhere!

Ignore the music after a while, it's ok in the beginning though.


The newest ride they have is called Maverick and damn that one was intense. It wasnt that high, but it had a 95 degree drop, and went fast as hell! The only problem with that one was that the lines where sooooo long. We waited in line for 2 hours and 45 minutes... it was worth it though :)



Other cool things they have is a ride that looks like a giant swing, that swings you so high and it feels like you are gonna fall to the ground any minute, very scary. Another ride that also is a big swing only that it has a big wheel on the end which spins around as you get swung from one end to another, also very scary. They had white water rapids that you got completely soaked in, and indoor coaster (which we didnt ride), tons of other coasters, wooden and steel, free fall drops etc etc.

Giant Swing:


Swing with giant wheel on it:


It was a very very fun weekend and it was well worth both the 10 hour drive there and home, and the long long lines for the rides! So if you ever are considering going there, go go go!

So long, suckas!

John is from Cincinnati, I'm not.

I'm from Sweden if anyone missed that! I'm now back in the U.S though and it feels great to be honest! The trip here went unbelievably smoothly; none of the flights were late and it went smooth through both customs and the border. When I got back, there were no time to rest though since me and Rick went to NYC to meet up with the lovely Isabelle for the weekend! We had an awesome time there, went to some bars, hung out in the park, did some shopping etc. A very nice weekend over all!

When we got home I bought a Wii. The best buy ever btw! This machine is soo much fun, now I can go bowl, play a match of tennis or even a round of golf right in the bed room! Awesome! And off course I bought the new Zelda game and it's actually very nice! I haven't played for that long, but I've completed the first temple at least, and I'm very happy with the game so far! I bought another controller so that me and rick can play together, which is just hilarious. I beat him every time... not.

I started to watch a new series too; John from Cincinnati. A very strange, smart and funny series that everyone should check out! HBO so they can curse :D

Other than that, shit is back to normal! I'm registred for classes finally, so that feels good! School starts in 3-4 weeks!

Oh, btw, I almost have no reception on my cell in the apartment any more, no idea why. So if I'm late with answering texts and shit, that's why!

Peace out yo!

Save the earth, by killing it just a little bit more.

Don't get me wrong, the thought behind the "Live Earth" gala is wonderful; inform people about the fact that our earth is dying. There is a problem with that whole approach though; when one of the bands playing at the event have played for around 5 minutes, as much energy as one person spend in a month will have been spent. That seems very hypocritical to me.

Flying artists across the globe
Light on stage
Sound on stage
All the people going to the concerts
All the people watching it on TV at home for 24 (!!!) hours
etc etc

So informing people about this problem is a great thing, BUT there are a lot of other ways that you can inform people without being a hypocrite and spending a LOT of energy yourself. For instance, why not take an already existing show, say for instance American Idol, and make it a "Green" theme show? Or take the money that you would have to spend to make a thing like Live Earth work and put that into creating mandatory education about global warming in every school? Or every network could sacrifice one spot for commercial during their top rated shows for the sake of the planet?
Making a big big show, with concerts at 9 different locations, not even having the artists play at the venue closest to their home but instead flying Xzibit, Rihanna and Linking Park to Tokyo, and having artists like Snoop Dogg that obviously doesn't care about this shit at all, playing at the event, just doesn't make sense...

If it made a significant impact on people, and we will start to see a difference after this, I will take back everything that I just wrote. But if I know humanity right, tomorrow almost everyone will go back to caring more about what Paris Hilton wears than what they can do to save the planet.

Family Matters

I spent the weekend out in our summer house together with my family! It was very pleasant actually, my grandma has a birthday tomorrow so it was kind of a celebration to her but also a "hey I'm home"-thingy for me. There was a lot of people out there actually; my youngest older sister and her boyfriend, my grandma and grandpa, my aunt her husband and my cousin with girlfriend, my grandmas brother and his wife, and off course my mom, dad, and brother! There were a lot of drinking and eating involved, we shoot some bow, played some typical swedish games (Kubb), and just hung out.
The summer house is newly renovated and it's just amazingly beautiful, big windows everywhere that overlooks the ocean and the forest view, awesome bathrooms, and very bright and very "designy" everywhere. On top of that it has become a very "green" house, in that matter that we have very modern bathroom solutions; the waste falls down to a big tank underneath the house where it turns into mulch and dirt. The heating of the house comes from underneath the ground, and my dad has plans of putting up Sun-screens that will provide the house with electricity. We have internet in almost every room and now my sisters boyfriend fixed so that we have wireless internet in the whole house too. It's just a very modern but very green house! I like!

When my family meets, there are certain stories that have to be told, over and over again, one is about me; how I sang a song wrong when I was very young, another is when my grandpa flipped a plate over and a sausage fell in his lap, and so on and so on. These are fun stories and all, but I think we need to have some new ones cause they are getting pretty old. My mom and her sister always laughs a LOT and it's very funny, they both have a very distinct laugh that sounds exactly the same! It's hilarious! Me, my cousin and his girlfriend sat up late and just talked about a lot of stuff, that was very nice too! They are good people! I showed some movies of the coasters I have ridden, and the coasters that I will ride when me and Rick goes to Cedar Point in August!

It was a very pleasant weekend, and today everyone went back home, including me. So here I am, all alone in a big house in Sweden, with one word in mind: PARTY!!!
Hehe, maybe not, but I will probably have a small gathering sometime soon!

Until then, peace out, keep it real, and stay black!

Home?

Home, it can mean so many different things. It can mean the place where you were born, the place where your loved ones are, the place where you put your ass, and now even an online 3D community on your Playstation 3. Home to me is a place where you feel, that's right: like home, you feel comfortable and you are enjoying yourself. I don't think Sweden is home for me any more... I adapted so well to the U.S-way of life, I have my life there and I feel free in a completely different way than I do here in Sweden.
The biggest thing for me was that I now have realized that I have come so far in my personal development, the sad thing is, it feels like everything here in my old home is the exact same as it was when I left. Everyone is exactly the same, everything is exactly the same, and everything looks exactly the same.
I don't think this is anything weird, and I certainly doesn't judge anyone for not changing, it's just natural when one are living in the same city, hanging out with the exact same people and do the exact same things all the time. I had to change, I had to stand on my own feet, getting a license, doing my taxes, buying food, make a budget etc. Otherwise I wouldn't have made it over there. That's why it's strange to be back here living with my parents again... it's like I traveled back in time 'til when I was 15.

I'm going back the 17th of July, but I'm regretting taking even that much time for a visit back to my former home. A week has passed since I landed here in Stockholm and it feels like it has been a year. Time is crawling by, and no matter what I do it feels like I'm misplaced. Don't get me wrong, meeting my friends and family again has been great, but that's it. Now I feel like I've pretty much has done the things I wanted to do here and I have 3 weeks left in this country... 3 weeks. I'm bored... bored, bored, bored. Which is strange since I didn't do much during my summer break in the U.S... At least I knew that I was able to do whatever the fuck I wanted to do over there. If I wanted to go and buy a hand gun... I could. I would never do that, but it's nice to know that I have the possibility. Or not... I'm rambelling.

Bottom line is, this might have been my home once upon a time, but my home is now in a land, far far away; the land of possibilities, the land of murder, the land of hypocrisy... my home.

Earth, Wind and Fire!

Cheah, Cheaaah! Last night we all of a sudden decided to go to a Earth, Wind and Fire concert! It feels like you have to have seen them before you die, and yes you have to! It was great actually! I don't like their music a whole lot, but damn those cats are fuuunky. And they rocked that stage like they have done for the last 35 years! Awesome! It became a bit boring in the middle cause they only played slow songs for a while then, but when they started playing the tunes to September the party was on again! It was an awesome venue too, the stage was outside and we sat on the grass listening! Very nice!

So, now it's less than 10 days before I come back to Sweden! I am looking forward to it, allthough it will probably be a little bit strange. I have a life here, and it will feel as if I am on vacation in my home country.. a very strange feeling. But it will be awesome to see everyone again, so I'm really looking forward to it!

That is all for now, I'm gonna go out in the sunny weather for a while!

Peace out!

Kings Dominion & Busch Gardens!

This weekend has been really cool! It started Saturday afternoon when we decided to go to an amusement park called Busch Gardens, we had already gotten season passes so we just needed to ride down there! Their new roller coaster "Griffon" had it's premiere this weekend and together with this being a holiday weekend, the place was packed! We thought that we would stand in line for the new coaster the first thing we did, so that we was sure to get to ride it before the park closed. We got in line and waited and waited, and off course the thing broke down... people got stuck at the top, but we waited anyway and finally the ride got fixed and the line started moving again. We got on the coaster, went up, up, up, and up a small turn and then we stop. This might not seem so scary, but we are 205 feet (ca 63 meter) up in the air and the car stops half facing down. 2 seconds later the car is dropped and is flying straight down towards the ground (90 degrees angle) then under a bridge, and up in a big big loop! It was a truly awesome ride! We did ride it once more before we left and that time we were in the front seet and damn... when that car stopped at the top and we were facing down... I was scared as shit!

The day after we went a bit further to another amusement park called "Kings Dominion". A smaller park, but with more roller coasters than Busch Gardens. The first thing we noticed was that everything was so loud... They had games and stuff everywhere and in every game-stall someone was screaming into a microphone to try and attract people to come and play at their stall. Very annoying. But we kept on walking, started off with one of their wooden coasters and I didn't really like it, the reason was because it was rattling so much that it gave me a headache. After that we headed to their most extreme coaster the "Hypersonic XLC". But unfortunately it broke down as soon as we got in line. So we kept on walking, the next coaster we tried to get on was also broken down... so we went on another wooden coaster. Same thing there, rattling rattling rattling and i got a headache again. This park actually have a water park in the middle of the park, so we decided to head there to cool off in the water. We changed and started looking for a pool. We passed many slides with huge lines to them, and finally we got to a wave pool, but it was broken down... Finally we found another wave pool that was working, so we headed in and cooled off for a while! After that we went on some slides, but nothing exciting, and then we headed out to the real park again.
Once back in the park we headed for the Corkscrew coaster called Anaconda, and it was pretty cool. When we got out of that one we sat down for a while and Rick spotted a kind of hidden attraction, so we got in line and waited and waited. After a while we entered this big building that looked like a hangar, but it had a flying saucer in the middle of it and the queue line headed straight up into the UFO. When we finally got to the ride itself we saw that it was another roller coaster. We sat down in the car and after 2-3 seconds it took off. That might not sound very exciting, but the car actually launched with incredible speed straight in to darkness. The first thing the car does is going up in a loop, and after that loop our eyes was used to the darkness and we could see that we were inside a big building and the coaster's tracks were all over the place! Very cool ride!
After that things turned out a little better, the lines was not as long because it was later, and the amount of people faded a little bit. We went on a stand up coaster, which was actually pretty scary, then a wild mouse coaster that was kind of fun, and after that we took on the last wooden ride. And damn that hurt... my back was just hurting unbelievable much. But it actually got better almost as soon as we stood up. So now we only had one ride left... The Hypersonic XLC. For those of you that don't know what kind of coaster that is, I can tell you that the XLC stands for Extreme Launching Coaster. What that means is that the car's is being launched by the same mechanism that launches Jets. We stand in line for a loooooong time, and I'm starting to get more nervous for every step we take. Finally it is our turn, at this point I am kind of panicking, but I had to do it so I stayed in the car. We roll out and a voice says "ready to launch", yellow lights are flashing and then finally a green one gets lit... And off we go, and damn what we are going. The first thing that happens after the car is launched, is that you are going up a hill... a 90 degrees hill. Straight up, over a small turn and then straight down. I thought I was going to die when the car launched, it was scaaaary, once up at the highest point of the coaster I just said "fuck it" and throwed my hands up in the air, which I had been holding on to the car with for my dear life. It was awesome! Scariest shit I have ever done in my life, but damn it was awesome!

Today we actually went back to Busch Gardens again for a while, we did ride some rides, but not many, we just felt that we had nothing else to do, so we just walked around there and rode the rides that didnt have a very long ride! It was pretty cool too! Now we are home and our feet hurts like a biatch, so it's nice to lay down and just chill right now!

Here's a movie of the Hypersonic XLC (ignore the music)


Here's a movie of Griffon!

Miami!!

I am now in Miami! We went up at 4 o clock this morning and went to the airport in Norfolk, and we just now (1:30 Pm) got to our hotel in Miami! It's super warm and humid, 30 degrees celsius, a bit cloudy right now, but that is actually kind of nice because the heat is so intense as it is. We rented a car too, we were going with a crappy boring sedan of random brand, but we traded it in for something a little more Miami-ish! A black Mitsubishi Eclipse! With sun roof and everything. Very sweet! (no extra charge either, score!!)

I didnt sleep much at all last night and neither did my roommate, so we are probably going to crash for a while before we're heading out on the streets of Miami.

Palm trees everywhere!
Out!

The best invention ever!

I actually thought my new laptop that I had to buy since my old one broke don completely (hardware problem) was the greatest invention ever made. It's an HP with an AMD Turion 64x2 processor, 2gb ram, 120 GB hard drive, Geforce GO 6150 and i bought it new for only 700 dollars!(4700 kronor). My old computor started to act up really bad, it started when my DVD-writer didn't wanted to burn DVD's any more. The day after that I had green lines all over my screen, I tried to fix it, but broke the keyboard in the process. I went to Best Buy and asked them if they could fix it, and the guy I talked to said that it was probably cheaper for me to buy a new one. So I did. Not at Best Buy though ;)

So ok, as I said I thought that the computer was the greatest invention ever made, that was until I saw a commercial for this, Tide to go! Instant stain remover! If you are at a restaurant and spill shit on you, this will help the stain go away, or if you're at a club and some drunk chick throws up on your new shirt, this will help the stain go away, or if your new shirt get's all bloody after butchering a goat, this will help the stain go away! It's the best invention ever made and I am so pissed of that I didn't come up with it. Ohh well, it's awesome anyway!

On friday I leave for Florida and it will be awesome! One weekend of partying, beaches, beatches, and sun sun sun! Very nice! After that it's less than a month and I am going back to Sweden for a while! I will stay for about a month, and then go to New York City, or that is the plan at least, and I will stick to it unless I will be choosen to go on Survivor China.

Peace

Spiderman 3 sucked, big time.

If you haven't seen the movie and don't want any spoilers, stop reading now!

Me and my roommate went to see Spiderman 3 last night, and guess what... it sucked. It started of nice, and it felt as if it could be a good movie. There was a moment where I realized I hated the movie. Spiderman/Peter fought with Harry/Green goblin jr. and knocked him out. He realizes what he's done and trying to revive Harry by doing CPR. There was only one problem, he didn't do it correctly. The only thing he did was pound on his chest, no mouth to mouth. It feels like Spiderman who saves lives every day should know how to do CPR correctly. It just felt so American to exclude a mouth to mouth since it can be concidered "gay".
After that it just went downwards, cliché after cliché and I was 2 minute before e movie in my head all the time, that's how predictible the movie was. They played it safe, veeeery safe. Except for the incredibly wrong and stiff dance scene in the middle of the movie... What was that??? It didn't fit in to the movie at all. And Tobie Maguerieiruururu (or how the hell he spells his name), he can't act... at all.
In one of the last scenes Spiderman is on his way to save MJ and when he was on his way, I leaned over to my roommate and said "Here comes the American hero" and offcourse Spiderman swings his net and land in fron of an American flag... I wanted to puke. We almost stood up and left when it was 20 minutes left on the movie, but we stayed til' the end.. and it feels as if that was a mistake.
So don't see this movie in a movie theaters, download it, or rent it when it comes out on DVD.

So a little me time. I got my grades back, and my final grades are: A in English, A in College success skills, B in History, and then a passing grade in Math (it was Math 4, so I don't get a grade in that clas, I just pass or doesn't pass). That was cool, but I actually thought I would get an A in History... ahh well... I guess I didn't deserve it, even when my friend in my english class said that he didn't do shit in his history class, didn't do any tests or anything, and still got an A... That seemed kind of unfair... but that's life I guess. (Ohh, they could use that line in the next Spiderman movie)
Now I have plans to chill for a couple of days, play some videogames, watch some reruns from America's next top model, and just heal myself from all my studying. Florida awaits in two weeks, and we actually might go to Busch Gardens (A giant amusement park) tomorrow if we have the time/energy for it!

Spidey have to do the hardest thing, before doing anything else; Forgive himself *gunshot* Hampus down...

I'm done!!

Wohooo! School is over, just got home from my last test in history! It felt like the test went good, and if I get an A on it, I will probably get an A in the whole class, which means that I have straight A's! I'm so good at this school-shit nowadays :D

So now awaits sun, videogames, chillin like a villain, florida, busch gardens, Sweden, Kings Dominion, Six Flags, New York, music recording etc. Very nice!

Speaking of videogames, I just made such a good deal! I went to Best Buy to buy Guitarr Hero 2 for the Playstation 2, but since I have a PS3 which don't have the PS2 controller output, the guitarrs wouldn't work and the whole meaning with the game is lost. So I ended up in the 20 dollar shelf and found some real classics. Shadow of the Colossus (!!!), Resident Evil 4, God of War, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted, all of those games for 100 bucks (700 kronor). Damn that was nice! So now I have a lot to do!!

Btw, the thing I wrote about in the last blog, about the bees, it turns out that Einstein probably never said what Bill Maher said he did. BUT that does not mean that the fact that bees are dying is a lie, and that it is a big problem which should be discussed more than it is now.
To supplement for that error I found this movie.



yep, it's John Kerry talking about WTC7.

But enough about that, the president is acting like an ass again. Tell me what a democracy is if the president can veto a demand by the democratic senate, elected by the people? Is that a democracy? I don't think so...

Ahh well, as I've written before, I am going back to Sweden, probably in late June and staying until around the 15th of July. So then I want to hang out with everyone, chilling in mälzide, like the old days! Very sweet!

That's all for now, I will get my result from my history test tomorrow, so I will update this post and say how it went.

Peace out!

The bees are dying

Bill Maher, the host of "Real Time with Bill Maher" ended his last show with talking about that the bees are getting extingt. This is what he said:

According to Einstein it would take 4 years for humanity to get extingt if the bees dissapear. And this is what's happening right now according to Bill Maher. After some research I found that 50% of the bees has dissapeared since 1971. That means that in around 40 years humanity would get extingt. Why? No bees = no plants, no plants = no animals, no aminals = no food and then we die. The bee's are dying because of cell phone use and just bad environment etc. It's kind of frightening to think that humanity might be gone soon. But naaa orka walk around thinking about that. (Yes, I am trying to estabslish "orka" as an english word!) Besides, a new planet that looks just like earth has been found outside our solarsystem! 20.5 light years away, which is pretty far, but we might be able to figure out how to get there in 40 years! ;)

Ok, a little me time, it was a hwile ago (cool hwip). I got a solid B on the last history test!! Very nice! One more test to go and I might even get an A in that class! The last English paper is turned in, the last math test is on friday, in other words, my first semester in college is coming to an end! The semester is just perfectly long here! I don't think I could've managed to keep up the study paste longer than this. Florida awaits in May, Sweden awaits in late June, New York City awaits in the middle of July. Quite a busy schedule, but it will be fun! Hopefully I'll get some time to work on my music too... dude.

The car is running good, and everything else is floating on just fine too! Some days can be quite boring since I either spend them studying or watching TV. Me and my roommate went to this outlet mall about a weekend ago, and it was the most unnessecary thing ever. It was supposed to take us 2 and a half hour to get there, it ended up taking us 4 and a half hour, due to heavy traffic. I bought two t-shirts... or that's a lie, I bought some wifebeaters too, but they were too tight and too see through, people could see my nipples in them, and not in the hot way. So that's 8 bucks I never see again. It was very unnessecary at least...

ok, I need to sleep now, I have school tomorrow! See ya maybe in 40 years... or maybe not... we'll see!
Peace

R.I.P.

The 32 students that got killed at Virginia Tech yesterday. It feels so weird to actually be close to something like this. I have never felt "damn, that could've been my school" at earlier school shootings throughout the world, but now I do. I guess it's because the school is actually like 5 hours away from here...
All the channels have been running Live news all day today and yesterday. Finally they have identified who committed the murders and some of the ones that got killed. I feel for all those families and friends that lost someone in the shootings.

As always when something like this happens people are trying to blame someone or something. The republicans blame asians since the murderer was asian and that student's are not alloved to have guns inside of the school. Ok... ehm... does it matter what "race" the murderer was? Did anyone point out that the ones shooting at earlier school shootings where white?? Nope... The republicans do not think that Gun control is something that will lower the gun crimes... How fucking stupid are you if you don't believe that?? In Virginia you can buy a gun if you are 12 years old. You don't need a license, or even a background check if you buy the gun at a gun exhibition. How fucked up is that??? And how can people say that that is not a problem??? I get so mad sometimes... and then some fucked up republican go on CNN saying that gun control won't solve anything, and maybe legal aliens shouldn't be able to buy guns... That is not only racist but also incredibly stupid since the earlier shootings where commited by Americans. So... maybe Americans shouldn't be able to buy guns? Noooo cause it says in the American "law" that every citizen should have the right to defend themselves with a firearm. Some republicans also says that the students should be able to have guns in the school to defend themselves. OH MY FUCKING GOD that is so stupid I wanna cry... Yes, bring MORE guns in to the society, that will solve the problem... I am just amazed by these fucking racist, gun-crazed republicans and their stupid ideas.
Compare it to Sweden, we have what, 1 murder by a gun per year? And it's illegal to buy guns period in Sweden... Doesn't that say pretty much about what the solution should be? Take away guns, take away gun crimes. How hard can it be?
If anyone, and I mean anyone, even mentions this massacre in the same sentence as videogames or rap-music that will be the final evidence that this country is so fucked up right now. VIDEOGAMES and RAP-MUSIC does not kill people! Period. Psychotic kids with guns available, kill people.

And I'm out.

Bill is going at it

Yes, my favourite Tv-persona, Mr Bill O'Reilly is an asshole as usual. Two girls were killed by a drunk driver near were I live. The drunk driver were an illegal alien, as they so tastefull call it here. Bill is angry at our mayor for not making the decision of kicking him out of the country.
First of all... what does it matter who it is that killed the girls? They are dead either way, even their father said that. Second our mayor has _nothing_ to do with if he will get kicked out or not. That is over her head.

Bill is fighting with Geraldo about the issue. I can't believe that this guy has air time on TV. He is clearly a racist, an asshole, a right wing extremist and oh, did I mention an asshole? (I'm talking about Bill, not Geraldo)


But enough about that asshole. So what's up with me? Not much... Still studying my ass off, or well... not right now though since I just had a essay deadline and a big history test, so my waters are pretty calm for a week or so. One thing that is good is that it's less than a month untill the semester is over! woohooo! Summer, music, travelling, chilling etc etc! Very very nice! I am really looking forward to it. For those who are wondering, yes I am going back to Sweden for a while. Probably late June untill middle of July. Then I am going to NYC to meet up with my swedish friends Isabelle and Fanny! Very nice! So that will be awesome!

And for those who didn't catch it. The season ending of "Dirt" aired about a week ago. If you have not seen it, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT! That is the best episode of any series I have ever seen! OH and make sure to also catch "The Riches" on mondays, and pump your expectations up for the return of "Heroes" on April 23rd! Everything can probably be seen on alluc or arrrrrrrrbay for those who can't get American TV.
I saw Borat the other day too, it was funny, but mostly my reaction was "how the fuck does he have the balls to do the shit he does?", like when he is singing at the rodeo... I was afraid someone would shoot him. Crazy southerners aint playing.

Well... I'm out. And vote for Sanjaya, he deserves to win... not...
Peace

My conspiracy theory

My Conspiracy theory

So, my mom fell for the joke, she was mad, it was funny. I am not moving to Thailand if anyone didn't get that!

Yesterday me and my roommate went to visit a friend and we ended up talking about how fucked up this world is right now. So today I put together pretty much what we talked about, found sources to almost everything, will add some more if I find it, and I will post it here and would like to know what you people think about it. If the FBI comes and take me away, it is still gonna be worth it. ;)

First of all we talked about the bible, and our friend Shawn told a story about how he was in the church and always questioned everything the minister said. The minister got kind of tired of him and answered "because the bible says so" about almost everything. Then he asks what is up with that it says "King James Version" on the cover. “Why does King James have a version?? If he wrote a version, why can't I write a version of it?” And the minister could not answer that question; a smart thing is to read up on some history about the things you are supposed to be teaching people...

So we continued to talk about it, how some things just doesn't add up, like how some people are like 200 years old when they have a baby. Rick tells a story about how one guy at his job, who is a very christian christian, explained that by saying "People lived to be around 500 years in that age"... ehm... newsflash, people lived to be maybe around 40 years old during that time. And that guy saying that is around 40 years old, talk about blind stupidity. And sure people always say that you shouldn’t take the bible literarily, but it’s hard not to when so many Christians themselves do…

Our conclusion was that Jesus probably existed. His apostles probably followed him to take notes, and then they all died. Someone found the notes and wrote a story with the notes as a base. To make it more interesting he threw some extraordinary things in there, "animals on a boat, ahh yes, hate gay people, yes of course" etc etc.

The Mormons say that they have found another book from the bible “The book of Mormons” that they found here in the States… ehm… you DO know that Jesus lived in the Middle East, right?? Stupid excuse to be able to marry more than one wife…

Although Shawn mentioned that he read the book of revelations and that it was very accurate to some of the things that happens in the world today, so we came up with this theory that you can read about below;

Someone knew about 9/11. At least someone knew that the building number 7 was gonna fall. Probably someone caused it to fall. Authorities said it fell due to internal fire, but how did fire start in that building if the plain crashed many many meters above it? Sure, things could fall on the building and make it set on fire somehow, but it seems very unlikely.

Here is CNN’s chronology of the attacks: http://edition.cnn.com/2001/US/09/11/chronology.attack/

Notice how it says that no other building was set on fire or collapsed. Why the number 7 building? Well, for one thing China had a lot of gold stored in the building, which went missing after the attacks. Some of it was found, but most of it is gone, and nobody knows where it went. http://angelsfortruth.com/Follow%20The%20Gold.html

A lot of companies like Enron had important documents in that building and a lot of SEC (Securities and Exchange Comission) investigations were in there too. And here is the big question, how was BBC News able to report that the building had fallen when it is right there behind the reporters back?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mxFRigYD3s

Sure someone could digitally make that movie happen, but why did BBC explain what they’ve aired afterwards? Why didn’t they just not explain it and let people think that it was just a crazy conspiracy theory? I tell you why, because it did happen. People saw it and contacted BBC and they never had a good explanation. They claimed that the tapes from that airing were lost in all the confusion that was going on that day. Yeah that is very believable since BBC by law has to save all their tapings in an archive.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2007/270207bbcresponds.htm

And here is the story about the precious president. Did you know that he met with a minister who enlightened him about the “book of revelations” before he became the president? For those who doesn’t know what the book of revelations are, it’s the only part of the bible that is exclusively dedicated to apocalyptic (the end of the world) stories.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2921345.stm

So is the president actually trying to end the world? Is this fucked up state of the world a try to end it all so that he can be a part of what he believes in?

There is something called Martial Law, which you can read about here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law

If a terrorist attack would take place shortly before the election in 2008, George W Bush could in theory call Martial Law and actually remain president. He would then have become a dictator who is the leader over the world’s most powerful country with the intention of ending the world. Does that sound like a great deal? Didn’t think so…

I don’t know what to believe right now, but if there is another attack around election day, then Mr. President is the only one who can prove me wrong, by not calling Martial Law.

And there you have it. I don't know if I believe in all of it myself, but it's an interesting thought, and if the last part of it really will happen, then I will truly start to believe that what is written above is true.

I might add some more links if I find it and have the energy to do it. Untill then, tell me your views, prove me wrong (and by prove I mean with proof, not your opinion), agree with what I have written here, or yell at me for being an conspiring idiot. Whatever you do, say something!

Peace

I'm moving

That's right, I've decided to move, away from this country actually. I will go back to Thailand next week and stay there for as long as I can. I got the idea the other day when I was thinking back on my last trip there, how wonderful it was, and I compared it to be here in school, and I just think that it's better for me to live there and work as a English teacher. Everything is already taken care of, ticket is booked, my car is sold, my PS3 is sold I just need to pack and then leave. This also means that I won't be coming home to Sweden during the summer. I will just not have time for that. I have worked something out with the school, so I will take the last month in school online, so I will still go to school the semester out. I am just tired of studying, tired of living a grown up life here, what I wanna do in life is chill out on a beach and teach people how to speak English. And don't get any ideas of coming with me, I have to do this on my own.

So this will be my last post here for while. I still have all your e-mails and phone numbers so you will hear from me, maybe not just in a couple of weeks.

So long America, it has been fun, just not fun enough!
Peace
