The problem for the hopelessly romantic melancholic

Everyone has problems. So do the hopelessly romantic melancholic people. Especially in communicating with ordinary folk. Like in the example below where two friends sit in a diner having a coffee, waiting for their breakfast. Said: "How I'm doing? I don't know.... [pause] I guess today I sort of feel like I'm in this Norwegian …

Being sick. 2013.

Man, being sick has changed. It seems like only a couple of years ago when being having the flu meant that you were on the sofa under an uncomfortable blanket. Constantly switching between watching dvd’s, reading books, doodling in a sketchbook, textmessaging people for sympathy and checking the tv for news on ‘the world out …

Why Big Brother wants your mug shot

Last week I went to a photographer to get pictures taken from my kids, one and three years old. Not funfunfun pretty pictures, but official depressing, bad lighting passport pictures. We're planning a trip abroad and with all these baby terrorists and kidnappings, obviously they need their own passports. And passport pictures. Let me hear …

One thumb blogging

My most active blogging period must have been around when my first son was about three months old. This was also a time when I had a booming agricultural e-business on Farmville. How come? Well, babies tend to sleep large portions of the day. Not long enough for serious painting or writing but perfect for …

Strong opinions towards the truth

Evil

Are babyboomers evil? How many dogs may be killed for one human life? Is feeding your snake live kittens something a babyboomer would do? Anyone hurts my kids, they're dead. How many of your friends are bankers? I'm doing fine, but we're in a heap of trouble. Do you still trust Barack Obama? Is an …

She thought to herself while carving a K

It already spelled F-U-C on the park bench, Sure, geniuses may be totally unhappy, but at least they're special, she thought to herself while carving a K. Thousands of kids her age were starving to death all over the world, but at least the media care. NGO's care. Fucking Bill Gates cares. But her? Who …
