I have two major fears.

I never really have been able to deal with the thought of suffering a loss of life value due to brain damage, if my brain somehow starts malfunctioning I will most likely seek aid in ending myself, the other major fear is hospitals I just can’t stand them, as soon as I walk past the doors my pulse rises and a stressed out nervours behaviour starts surfacing.

So needless to say when I rode the ambulance to the emergency after being diagnosed with a major concussion on site a tiny little voice in my head whispered oh so smirkishly “you’re fucked Peter”, hooray for my phobias! Well the visit to the ER was pretty ok, they scanned my brain (can never do that too many times according to Sheldon Cooper) and some other motor skills test to see that my brain was ok, phew.

So that was my Saturday night, how was yours? Anyhow, on Monday (11th of May) I hopped on a bus for a 5 hour ride up to Stockholm so that I could participate in a intervue for an education I had applied for (Key Account Managing, now known as KAM at www.smhsverige.se) and despite better knowledge I sat through the tests and trying desperately to put the numbers together all while the concussion was playing tricks on my head.I did fine, I think….. :)

So fast tracking the trip back home and it’s Wednesday morning and one hour into work I feel this awesome pain in my neck/head and my eyesight is blurry, so I had to go home and rest my head for the rest of the week. I appreciate anyone could walk around home and do nothing for a few days but that is just not me, I’ve been killing myself with things to not do! and as soon as I sit infront of a screen my eyes feel like they are burning and the headache comes (yes I am writing this while in pain). This whole situation isn’t helped by knowing that selfpromoting sorry-for-myself artist Anna Odell is causing a ruckus with her installation and finally disclosed what it was about!

So basicly, her project was to re-enact a sad day of her life to show how badly treated she had been and wanting to show the public that all is not well in the institutions/hospitals, <art pause> NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

I’d much rather have seen a under-cover reporter with some god damn credibility performing an investigation of the institutions rather than having an artist doing what she thinks will show justice to her cause from our Tax-money, I can’t help but to admit it’s a somewhat noble cause but her own strive for fame and wealth completely overshadows it in my opinion. Further more to my rucks comment lawyers investigated an art installation with video game music breaching copyrights but Ms Odell’s projects was given a “green light” honestly…… seriously…honestly… yeah ok.

Head hurts, can’t type more byebye for now.

Coping with stress

-I’m concerned with your behaviour, she said and her words sounded far off as I found myself thinking of wether or not I should add a few more weights onto the bar at the gym.

-Keeping my mind occupied is my way of coping, I replied. It’s who I am, I am that person who switches subjects in the blink of an eye, drum my fingers and tap my feet while sitting, am I stressed because I have to much to do? no. Is it because I have too little to do? yes, and what I need to learn is how to relax and not do that much! brilliant!  Needless to say this is going to be a fantastical journey of awesomeness into who I am, I can’t wait! can we start now?

-No, relax, we’ll send some papers.

Why should artists get our taxmoney?

The remodeling of my apartment is going smoothly and all in all it’s been a good day at work, chatted with my favourite Scottish salesman and then had a productive gymsession after work only to come home and find this gem (English summary here).  Personally I can not understand why people send her letters, emails and several other things showing their support to her cause, what are we? savages? can we just perform a self-righteous inhuman violent act and slap a pricetag on it or put it on public exibition and reap in tax money from your countrymen?

Since when did violence and deception become art?

It’s profound how Anna Odell’s “work of art” (I refuse to acknowledge it as such hence the quotationmarks) is going to recieve state subventions if it’s shown pubicly all in good faith that artists who can’t paint should get a cut of the cake as well, I suppose this is one more nail in the coffin that copyright laws and neanderthal views on that it’s ok to live of a hobby need to change. Now I can spin on and on about how much I dislike how she acts, perhaps in perfect world Anna and I could meet and actually discuss it, do not misunderstand I am interested in seeing what her little mind has come up with and I shall crush it with another blog post read by a few awesome individuals (if you’ve read this far you may collect a thumbs up from me if we ever meet).

If people like what you do you can make a living of it, until then such people are welfare-artist in my mind, clinging to the subvention-tit.

A challenge by Emma

  • Three employments I’ve had:

I have done volounteer work for ign.com as a forum moderator and starting as a machine operator and currently employed as a customer service representative at my current company.

  • Three things I like to watch on the TV:

I rarely watch TV however I do enjoy Big Bang Theory, Heroes (season3 yeah!), Kyle XY and the high definition games from my xbox :D

  • Thee favourite dishes:

Most things with chicken and curry, summer sallads (the kind you have at bbq’s when all the vegetables are fresh from local growers) and kroppkakor(sv, transl=bodycakes o_O)

  • Three playes I’ve lived in:

Tough one, only lived in two places, parents home (Fliseryd) and then moved to Oskarshamn but I’ve managed to live in 5 different apartments since 2003 in Oskarshamn!

  • Three places I’d like to be at now:

I can’t really put the finger on where I’d like to be right now, the bed perhaps? as for abroad I’d love going back to London but most of all it would be lovely to see old friends again who have moved away from town.

Pirate Bay trial to become movie.

Movie director and producer Simon Klose’s new project is to make a documentary of the TPB trail(sv).

- My method is simple. I hang out a whole damn lot with them. Me and the camera harass them all the time. I would like to
depict the trial in a more personal, prive plane, says Simon Klose which is a form which would differ from his documentary from the subject-tangibly movie “Steal This Film” from 2006.

I appreciate I am not the only one who has seen this written/translated/commented on the subject and great minds think alike! I am more than happy to translate any article into English that is not yet published or shown on The Local which is a great source for those who needs to catch up on current Swedish events in English. Realising this is a short post and generally I did not reflect or rant on Simon’s quest to accomplish his documentary I’ll patiently wait for the finished product even thou it might take more than 5 years depending on how high of a court this trial will escalate into, I hope whichever the final verdict is it is swift, deadly and in the pirates favour.


We are the prodigy

Invaders must die!

God the song is awesome and their new album is a breath of fresh air to my playlist, it’s been rather stagnant on the music front apart from Cookie Sweetheart (See below Youtube). Now got some news sent to me that the RIAA is beeing sued on various accounts and sham is one of them, epic fail and I hope people send them Guy Fawkes masks. (Guy Fawkes masks which are incorporated in my plan to shed more light on the the Swedish FRA-law which I will unveil during the coming months).

If anyone has an idea of where to get a good quality Guy Fawkes mask drop me a line.

Blogging. Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.

It’s the first of March and officially my birthday,hooray for me!

I wake up slightly hung over and read about ACTA some more in the evening press, it’s been an internetional topic for some time but the evening press seem to print headlines as “customs can now listen through your mp3-player” and most people just respond; they can hardly keep track of tobacco and alcohol as it is, one more thing they need to do?

Pesonally for me, this is yet one more nail in the coffin that people should be licensed birthgivers just to stop idiots being brought up.

One year of my life has passed today, and in simple terms this is how it’s been.

Let me stop you right there, it’s not my birthday today, it’s tomorrow so I am not older yet, however as I am about to head on over to my parents for some celebration (Saturday > Sunday) I figured I could sit down and shamelessly post some pictures and inform you all on how it used to be and how it is.

One year ago I worked here, still do to this day and I love my job, the difference is I switched from getting my pants dirty to working from the desk. Now it seems there will be no pictures in this post from my local source because A: wordpress seems to act up when uploading B: I am to lazy to plug in the backup of all my cellphone pictures. so without further delay please accept this spider as a relevant compensation for the lack of private pictures.

Now most of my time today is about fixing my apartment and playing games even thou politics and current events still pop up and please accept that I will can and shall rant about this whenever I so see fit seldomly serious more often humourus (or atleast try to).

Now I have to try and fix my hair, find some clothes and go shop a bottle of wine and some beer for the party. Keep typing friends, I will.

2 tårtorn en begraving och en födelsedag

Idag bjöd jag avdelningen på smörgåstårta, vi instämde alla att den var riktigt god och jag ska tacka tillverkaren på Pajen för den fantastiskt goda tårtan!
Jag hade till och med varit så driftig att jag ordnat så att den var laktosfri, synd bara att jag inte kunde göra tillägget vegetarisk men Andrea såg nöjd ut med sin grekiska sallad och det bästa av allt var att jag kunde ta med lite hem som jag kanske äter ikväll, eller bjuder min bror på imorgon.

Och varför bjöd jag på tårta? jo jag fyller år i helgen vilket betyder middag med familjen.
Ledsamt är att Sten inte kan vara med oss i år, jag är säker på att han har frid nu och vi saknar honom alla.

Jag har märkt på mig själv att även om jag blir äldre (Gammal enligt vissa på avdelningen >_<) så spelar jag minst lika mycket spel nu för tiden, och den lilla feta dvärgen får fan slita för det –>
Men som vi alla vet är dvärgar fula, äckliga, luktar illa och har en benägenhet för att spela falskt.

Som en sista kommentar vill jag påpeka att man inte behöver vara professor för att förstå att fildelning gynnar musiken.

Och just ja! idag tog jag steget och ansökte om en utbildning och jag hoppas jag kommer in, även om det involverar reser till Stockholm så är det helt klart värt det.
