Three Little Birds

Title: Bob Marley & The Wailers - Three Little Birds

Today - or perhaps rather now - I'm feeling really happy. My school's been taken out for strike. Not sure if it's the teachers or the cleaning personel that's on strike (perhaps they both are) but I'm not supposed to go to school until next monday now. Worst case scenario (I think) is that I've gotta go to school on Thursday, but I'll survive that as well.

Another reason to be happy, is that in the last lesson for today, we were just eating pizza and I got my mock exam back. I got a 4/5 on it. That's like C/B in American grades, I think. 6 is the highest grade possible to achieve and 1 is the lowest at least. So I'm pretty proud of myself on that one. Yet another reason to be happy, is that a DVD I had ordered, "Dr. Strangelove - Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb" in a Collector's Edition. That's pretty cool, so might be watching that one a few times this week while I'm not doing anything. Probably will practice a lot on my guitar.

I was wearing my Tom Petty T-shirt to school today, by the way, and it got a laugh with the comment "So good" or something. Always like getting those kinda comments, especially for something so true as this T-shirt's message. So listen to Tom Petty: "Sell your computer, buy a guitar" ... or just buy a guitar, if you can afford that and hasn't already gotten one

Last Dance With Mary Jane

Title: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance

I thought it suited well to have this as a blog title now. Listening to the song, and I was gonna buy my cool T-shirt on this post anyways (look above!).

Now I'm dizzy again...that sucks...

Well, I'm gonna try to blog without reading now then. I think I'm doing well. with that. I usually write without looking anyways.

Today I've been celebrating my girlfriend's future birthday. It's not gonna be until 9th of June, but it's always nice to be early, ain't it? No, not really, but everyone's too busy with different things around her birthday, so this was the closest we could get. I always enjoy spending time with ms Universe and her family. Her family is the best there is. We were 22 people there to celebrate her birthday today! Also, they all seem to care about each other and ms Universe...while I on the other hand, haven't even heard my dad tell me he loves me since I was in Elementary School. I don't like my family. It would be okay, if at least they were nice, but my dad seems to hate me, and they're all just so...cruel.

But back to the birthday celebration of today. What more was there to say? It was a great day, lots of guests, and I always enjoy celebrating things with ms Universe and her family without mine being there. After the "party", I had to get back to my town, and so I had to take the train. Me and my girlfriend's had some...troubles since then. But things are straightening out now. That's what it's like to be with perfect ms Universe. Things might get bumpy on the road of our relationship, but they keep straightening out.

Tomorrow's filled up with school, and that's not so...nice. The "bumpyness" has made me not being able to read for my physics test this evening, and since I haven't read before either, the test will go shit...and it's tomorrow..."yes!".

I'm a bit...away from my mind today, so I may have forgotten to write about something. Don't know why I'm like this today, but I've been like it since I woke up this morning. I'm not sure about a lot of things. And what's real and what's made up, is hard for me to seperate these days.

Somethin' Else

Title: Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else

Eddie Cochran really was something else. He became 21 years, but still managed to revolutionate the world of music within these few years. He used overdubbing in his recording before it was commonly known in music studio technique. I myself, have to admit that I pick up a LOT of influence in my music from Eddie Cochran. It's usually not listenable, but some songs CAN be traced back to it.

I'm listening a lot to Eddie Cochran lately. It's great rockabilly from the 50's...at least some of it. Some songs are just...not that cool, but DO check out "Nervous Breakdown", "Somethin' Else", "C'Mon Everybody", "Summertime Blues" and some songs I don't remember at this very moment. My two favorites, are "Somethin' Else" and "Nervous Breakdown".

But now, I'm gonna talk about me instead of mr. Eddie. Today, I've been with my lovely girlfriend, ms Universe. Her name isn't REALLY ms Universe, but she's the prettiest, cutest, most perfect girl in the universe, so I call her that on this blog...from now on. But yeah, me and ms Universe was together today. We were for a long time in a shopping center, then we went home to hers. We almost fell asleep. We took a quick bite and left my backpack there, and then we left to see the soccer match of Norway playing against Montenegro. Norway won 2-1. It was fun to watch a soccer game with ms Universe. Then we went home to hers, catched my backpack, stayed for a short while, before I had to go catch a train.

We're luckily going to meet again tomorrow. Can hardly wait. If I manage to do so, I'll try to upload an image or two from today's soccer match later on, but probably not before tomorrow.

Have Love, Will Travel

Title: The Sonics (originally by Barrett Strong) - Have Love Will Travel

I've been playing the riff of the song I picked this blog post's title from about 50-100 times today. It's still a kick-ass riff, which is best served...LOUD! But unfortunately, I do not have anything by The Sonics in my collection.

Today's been a good school day. I didn't start until 09.55, and then I only had one math lesson, before I had one lesson where the subject of matter was spare time or free, if you'd like. Since NO ONE would sit with me in our classroom, I eventually went home with my moped. I don't like being alone at school. It's so...lonely. At home, I fixed Ubuntu's panel (it had removed "Programs", "Places" and "System", which pretty much makes you disabled), checked out some bank stuff, and played the James Bond theme song like 35 times or so. I was practising making me play it perfect and FAST! I think I partially succeeded in that. After having played some guitar, I got quite bad with time for getting back to school, and since it rained, it was quite cold to get back there. I had physics, and of course, my lazy ass friend didn't show up. When I was driving my moped home, I saw him outside, cycling around on his bike. I was tempted to flip him the bird (giving him the finger), but I didn't.

After I got home, I've been playing guitar and spending time on my computer most of the time. At the moment, I'm watching a Peter Pan movie, and trying to install iTunes on my 100 GB portable school computer, and try to have my old iTunes library installed there, without having all the files on that computer, and then update my Last.fm-plays from my iPod. I REALLY hope it works!

Loving Cup

Title: The Rolling Stones - Loving Cup

I've had a WONDERFUL day with my girlfriend today! It was really something special! I was there so early, that almost no stores had opened yet. When they did, we visited a music store we've never been to before, which had ONLY classic (not like Led Zeppelin and stuff, but like Mozart and shit) music as you could see when you entered. Upstairs, they had lots of notebooks for artists, bands, albums, genres and so on. Also, they had some guitars, an ukulele, some mandorins and some other musical instruments and accessories.

After we got out of there, we went to...I don't really remember! I think we went to...get me a ticket? I honestly don't know. But at least, after some time in the city, we went a bit out of the centrum, and into a rock merch store. I came out with 5 buttons and two T-shirt, one by Tom Petty which it stood "Sell your computer, buy a guitar" on (which was an awesomely true saying) and the other was an Abbey Road T-shirt by The Beatles, which was black, blue and white and grey, which was AWESOME!

After that, we went home to my girlfriend's, and we ordered a pizza. We took a bus to pick it up along with buying two cokes. When we got home, we watched "Big Fish" (a favorite movie of mine...I cried a bit at the end of it this time as well) and ate pizza, and just relaxed and it was so cozy and nice! She fell asleep on my chest. She's the cutest thing ever!

We ate dinner together (tomato soup for appetizers and pancakes as main course), and then I had to take the train home. We were JUST short of being together for 11 hours! That's SO nice! Tomorrow we won't meet, but the day after that, we're going to a soccer match together. Can't WAIT!!!!!...to see and kiss and hold her in my arms again

Don't Do Me Like That

Title: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Don't Do Me Like That

I don't think I should blog about today right now, because I'm just not in that mood at this very moment. Right now, I'm jealous. I'm jealous because my girlfriend is surrounded by boys she've liked before me, and I think they all look better than me, and they can sing and play guitar really well, and it's just...I can't take it EXACTLY RIGHT NOW!

I can feel her all over me. I can feel that she's been on me today. I like that feeling. I like it a lot. In a way. Today it's great, because it's not more than one-day break from each other.

I'm scared shitless of losing her. She's really ALL I've got and EVERYTHING I've EVER wanted!!!!

And now the room is spinning...always fun getting dizzy...

I've quit going to my physical therapist, so it MIGHT have something to do with that. My mom wants me to have a break to just try to go the chiropractor again.

Now the room's spinning so heavily, that I've gotta quit blogging and turn on my lights. Have a nice...something!

Everybody's Gotta Love Today

Title: Mika - Love Today

I just got it on my mind, and really, you've gotta love today! It's nice weather, no school despite it being Wednesday, but EVERYTHING'S open, my girlfriend's got no school as well, we got to meet, we've been great together (some days are better than others, and the "better together"-days are A LOT of lately...lucky me!) and guess what? TOMORROW'S GOT NO SCHOOL EITHER! As well, I just ordered two DVD's I've been wanting for a LONG time, and on Friday, I'm starting late because the gymnastics teacher is a national champion in his field and is in a national championship.

This week is awesome.

I Wanna Hold You, Wanna Hold You Tight (Get Teenage Kicks Right Through The Night)

The title of this blog post is from the song "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones. It's a great song. One of my favorites, probably. I just never seems to get QUITE enough of it, despite me usually getting pretty quickly bored with songs about teenage romance...and other teenage things. But yeah, thumbs up HIGH for "Teenage Kicks" by The Undertones.

TODAY's been a great day spent with my girlfriend! We had a great day, which was spent on walking around in my town, then taking the bus home to me, and after that, we took a ride on my scooter. That was GREAT! I liked it A LOT, but I'm a BIT scared of that I've frightened her about it, but it doesn't really seem like she's scared about it. We took some pictures, and had a great time! Then we went home, had ourselves a hot chocolate drink each and a TexMex wrap. Special combination, but it was all right.
After that, we just spent the day relaxing, kissing, tickling and just having a GREAT day! OH! And I got some condoms in my mail today...always a bit...embarresing.

Tomorrow, we'll be at her city. I'm looking forward to seeing her again. It'll be SO great! We're also gonna be meeting both days this weekend (which sadly for you, might make me blog less this weekend). I can REALLY not wait for meeting her again! And this weekend is gonna be the best!

Now I'm feeling like I'm SUCH a teenager, so I'll stop bloging now. Have a great day!

Career Opportunities

Well, this title kinda fits my day today, as I've been to the career adviser at school today about me quiting school (for a year) and moving out for myself and starting working for a living. I'm looking forward to it. And I'm most likely gonna get back to school after this year off, but most likely, not here.
Anyways, the adviser's a great guy, who seems to understand me, and he actually REMEMBERS ME, despite having like 1000 other students he's also responsible for!

After I got home, I started talking a lot with my mom about moving out as well, and it seems like the stones are rolling in the direction of me ACTUALLY moving out!!! It's kinda crazy! Only thing is...I've gotta tell my dad...hehe...

(We Don't Need) No More Trouble

This song I'm listening to right now (Bob Marley's "No More Trouble" from Catch A Fire) fits me very well right now. I don't feel like me and my girlfriend needs any more trouble right now. We've had our share for a long time. I'm just so jealous, because I'm afraid of losing her. She's WAY too good for me...and I hope she never realizes that, and leaves me, because I do NOT know what to do without her!

I'm feeling that I can't handle my feelings quite as well as before anymore, and that I'm becoming more whiny and needy and that I'm just becoming a worse boyfriend overall. I feel I'm in the way of her having a good time, and that I should just not be in her life anymore, because she doesn't need me as much as I need her, and I'm just taking up space and keeping her away from everything she cares about.

How I ever got her, will forever be a mystery. I'm a mistake, she's perfect.

Proto-1940 style photo effect

I just think this picture that I took is pretty awesome. It kinda looks like it's taken from out of a horror movie from the 30's. At least I think so. It's really just a picture taken with my cell phone of my room in the dark, and then I tried to use PhotoDJ (a built-in photo editing program on my cell phone), and then I did something I don't remember, and it looked like this. Hope you enjoy!

Rain

It's raining now. It was sunny when I woke up this morning. I used to love it when it rained, and hate the sun, but now, rain and dark weather makes me scared. I'm afraid of it. Terrified, to be quite honest. It's okay when I'm not alone, but being alone while it's "dark weather" (cloudy, rainy and such), is a nightmare.

I wished earlier today that I was alone though. It was sunny then. I had a revelation about what I wanna do with my music today. But I couldn't do it, because I'm not home alone. I'm thinking of moving out. Moving to Oslo, being alone a lot, but still feeling better than I do here. It's okay here, I guess, but this is not my home. I haven't felt like this is my home since I was 12. I'm 18 now. I haven't really had a home, before I met my girlfriend. I can really picture me being with her forever. I started being alive and not just compressing myself and not letting all my feelings stay inside, when I got to know her. She's perfect for me, but I don't think she realizes that at all time. Maybe sometimes. I'll spend my entire life proving that for her if I have to. After all, I wanna be with her for the rest of my life, so why not spend it trying to make sure she knows how I feel about her at the same time? I love her more than words can explain, and I know it might seem silly to say, but she's my soul mate. She really is.

I'm listening to Bob Marley now. There's something about his music that's not just happy. There's something tormented there. Not sure if that's just me, but I like it. Some songs doesn't really have that feel to it, but "Concrete Jungle", which I'm listening to now, does. "Three Little Birds" is quite a nice and cheery song. But now I gotta start listening more to the one Bob Marley album I've got, which is Catch A Fire (in deluxe edition).

Tomorrow's got school. I'm not looking forward to having school now. I'm gonna see the adviser about me moving for myself to Oslo, working at a record shop. I can't live like I do right now. It's just too hurtful on my feelings and the one person that can help me, lives in Oslo. I'll blog about how that went tomorrow. But now I don't feel like blogging anymore

Idolize Yourself

I'm in bit of a Billy Idol-period right now. Probably is because I recently bought the album "Idolize Yourself: The Very Best Of Billy Idol".

I recently got myself a new hard disc drive. I recked my old one, by hitting my computer too hard. Instead of using Windows 7 or Windows Vista or something like that now, I'm using Ubuntu, because when I ordered the new hard drive, I forgot to think about operative system. Only bad thing about Ubuntu, is the handling of my iPod and scrobbling music to Last.fm.

Other than that, I'm now enjoying my day off just sitting in front of my computer, listening to Billy Idol and The Undertones and starting this blog. I kinda like making a new blog. Probably is why I've made a couple of them. But I got a good feeling for this one. I think it'll be something quite special, and I quite enjoy dealing with it so far.
