Life, Insanity and Information

Jupp, I'm finally saying something about myself, though I doubt it will be a glorious description of one of the heroes of our time. Anyway, before I depress myself, or you, to death, here's some basic info about me: I'm addicted to music. Meaning I can easily listen to 10 records a day, no problem. Movies are something else I tend to love, though I haven't felt like watching any lately for some reason yet to be brought to light. I am some sort of slacker nerd, if you need that sort of definition. Some people say I'm more indie though. I have no idea, and don't really care either. I am a university student, Intellectual History to be be precise. Coincidently, this is something of the most boring i have written in my life. Who give a dead dogs cock about it, except for my mother? And what does this say about me? Nothing really, I listen to a lot of music, but who doesn't? I like movies, most people do. So, what terrible secrets do I hide? Who are my victims? What hides in the dark corners of my soul? Not much, I have thought about killing people once or twice, fighting and dying for some cause I thought was just at that time. Orgy's, wild sex in one form or another, becoming a hermit and discovering all aspects of myself. I think a lot, would be the short answer. The only thing I know is that I don't know much about myself. I have no idea what I am, what I am able to do, what I could become if I strive for a goal. I don't even know if I have any real goals. This is what I have realized after having lived for 20 years, more or less. The years pass and you learn more and more, but all this knowledge makes it harder to decide between right and wrong. I'm not even sure there is such a thing as right or wrong, I do know what I think is right and wrong, but isn't that really all we got? Fashion, tv, computers, media, art, books, music, commercials, pins, food, and so on and on and on. The world is so full of information that we shut ourself off to get away from it. We drown in the constant flow, but have no choice but to accept it, doing otherwise would be admitting that we've lost control. As I walk trough this fairly small town that I live in, all these things bombard me. I am aware of what people wear, what the papers say, what cars I see pass me by. But the only thing that does not hit me until I am home again is that I am part of it all. The world we live in is no longer in our control. Sure, we have elections, we can chose to live on day by day, but what happens if we try to change the system, or break out of it? The system ends up rejecting us for the most part. And if some small change does take place, it's mostly so small that we don't notice it at first. But on the other hand, doesn't the modern human have to be constantly changing with society? All this new information hitting us day after day, hour after hour, second after second. If we don't change, perhaps we erode until we disappear? We get worn out, or maybe depressed, if there even is a difference. No wonder people go crazy when you think about it, if you change your reality you change the information. And if reality is no longer real, you no longer have to put up with it all. Maybe insanity is the sane reaction to todays society of never-ending input? If the society is insane, does that mean that your insane if you accept it, or if you reject it?

Anonymous vs. Scientology VI

Scientology have given on words and have started to act at last. The page containing the info about protest, assignments, and acts of support Party Van has been closed down for reasons unknown. Another site, 711chan, was targeted by a hacker group called The Regime, who apparently thought it was a good idea to brag about this on YouTube. This quickly resulted in them getting their site hacked, and their names, addresses, IPs and other info posted on their own homepage. More about this on Digg. Oh, and The Regime now goes under the name The Fagime. Anonymous has posted a second video: Call to Action. And if you wonder which videos are really Anonymous, and which are not... The user that posts the videos that have any true meaning goes under the name ChurchOfScientology on YouTube, subscribe today! Turns out there is also another blog dedicated solely to this event, and are apparently updated several times a day. It's called: Scientology is a crime against humanity ... An incredibly bad name really, but as it also happens to be true, and they do update more than I do... Disregard that, I suck cocks. Here's an example on the response you get for criticizing Scientology. Perfectly normal behavior, denial, turning the accusations around like an angry five years old boy... And they claim they're being harassed? And what was the deal with that cop? Bought, brainwashed, or both? Here's some less serious criticisms against $cientology: YAAFM. And finally, if you've got the resources to make your own stickers, here's the perfect thing:

Anon vs. SoC: Spread the Word

As you might have figured out by now, getting this know all over the world is one of the cornerstones of the war. This is however not a war in that sense. This is a war using the media, Internet and viral marketing. Posters, articles, bloggs, videos, graffiti and many other things are used to get attention, to wake people up. Freedom of speech works both ways, and the Church of Scientology will claim that we are breaking CR. I, for one, does not believe in Copy Right, and advocates the Creative Commons License, but I'll let you know more about this in another post. What I wanted to spread with this post was some of the posters being used, all of whom are made with no intention of personal gain, and all of whom will be payed with Anons own money. Here they are:

Anonymous vs. Scientology V

As you read more and more about this event you will no doubt hear things about Anonymous that are both good and bad. First of, those involved in this is not only members of Anonymous, others have heard about it on the news, read it in papers or found it online, and decided that they agree with us. That they, as us, want to know exactly what the Church stands for, what their goals are, why they don't spread their message as other religions do. The list of questions could go on and on. What I myself wonder is: why does salvation come at such a high prize? Why do they force people to have abortions so they can continue working for the CoS? Why does the members have to install programs on their computers that block anything that could question their beliefs? The answers are obvious, they don't care about their members, or their salvation. The question is: what are their goals then? I have heard that they are trying to secure posts in the American government, so perhaps they will try and have Cruise run for President eventually? I can not say that I know much for sure about them, mainly because they guard their teachings with a fanatical zeal. What I do know is that I think people should have the right think for themselves, decide what is right and wrong, what they want to do with their life's. But, as I was saying Anonymous is not some sort of ethic deity laying down the law for all to see. Anonymous is everyone and no one. And just as any person has the choice between good and bad, so does Anonymous. There are two sides of a sword, and Anon are both. We are like you, and we are you. After all, society has not left that much place for development of the individual so that we are all vastly different. We are society in itself, and in this society all kinds of people co-exist. All are no good, all are not bad. Some are sane, some are mad. What Anonymous will never be is inhuman, something might look that way, but even they greatest human has the ability perform acts of incomprehensible cruelty. It as they saying goes: Because non of us are as cruel all of us.

Anonymous vs. Scientology IV

Things are heating up, the Church of Scientology has started responding. A Swedish representative claimed that Anonymous was affiliated with gun runners and drug dealers. The more intelligent response came from XenuTV who encouraged people not to do anything illegal. The problem here, as I see it, is that since the CoS is the ones who started brainwashing, love bombing, and in general using people who's only fault was that they felt lonely, insecure or that they lacked a purpose. Targeting campuses and schools to make kids and youth work for them is also a good source of cheap labor, as we have seen in certain third world countries from time to time. The CoS also claims that the information provided by Anon is faulty. The question here is why they didn't seem to care much about several of the sites Anon has promoted recently, before this got the medias attention? Sure, they no doubt tried to sue the creators, threaten their hosts and so forth, but they didn't go out with a public statement saying "This and this is wrong." before a larger interest was created by Anonymous. Another representative said that she: "don't give a damn what a bunch of pathetic computer geeks does." or something along those lines, the word "bunch" might not be correct. In response for the Internet, I'd like to say that: "We don't care what the brainwashed puppets of a cult thinks". I'd also like to clear up a few misunderstandings about Anonymous. They are not hackers, though some might very well be... They are a mix of people from all over the world, mostly youth, who does not take kindly to the CoS attempts to censor the Internet and media. A larg part of the next generation, and of course people from others as well, have decided that they're tired of secrecy, the greed, lies and all form of fucked up behavior being showed by the Church of Scientology. Anonymous is the general public, the common and uncommon people, the outcasts, the bored, the scenesters and emos. Anonymous is me. Anonymous is you. And they've just made us angry.

Anonymous vs. Scientology III

The conflict, war, battle, or epic raid, has moved into it's fourth phase. Namely spreading the word all over the world, and try to generate negative attention towards the church of Scientology. Several videos, articles and documents regarding the conflict can be found on Digg, YouTube, Google, all over the place more or less. More and more serious newspapers and such are showing an interest in the conflict. Some think the Anonymous are doing more damage than good, others think they're vigilantes, fighting for a just cause. Physically, a few brave souls have put up posters and given out flyer's in New York around one of the Churches there. In Perth, Australia, other members of Anonymous have made decals and spray painted their messages around town, and on the door to the local Scientology church.
Sure, it's technically vandalism, but it's still damn funny.

Anonymous vs. Scientology II

As I said, I will try and keep you up to date about the battle, and will do so divided into several ongoing posts here on my little blog. What I need to clarify here, is the fact that several sites have been threatened with lawsuits from the Church of Scientology, amongst these are Google, Gawker, and YouTube. The only real question is how many hours it will take before they try to pin a lawsuit against Anon? Something that will be nearly impossible, since the number of people involved, and their identity's, are unknown. Anyway, here is the declaration of war, so to speak: Message to Scientology. And further more, a protests of sorts in England:

Anonymous vs. Scientology

It is indeed true, the cult versus the infamous Anonymous! The battle has raged for a few days now, and so far Anonymous have closed down a few of the Scientos pages, prank called, ordered them pizza and cabs, to mention a few things. All of this is done publicly as well. But the main thing here is to consider the fact that Anonymous is the perfect organization to take on Scientology. Why? Because they are really anonymous, which seems to be the only defense against the tactics of the church, which includes lawsuit till death for anyone who criticises, questions or try to spread any of their beliefs. People get photographed, and probably stored in some sort of register of know troublemakers or something, only for questioning them publicly. Reporters investigating the church are being followed and advised to stop their slander or face lawsuits. The purpose of these lawsuits are mainly to literally kill a persons finances. It's a message saying: "Do not fuck with us, you can't afford it." And for those who leave this little, friendly and in no way illegal cult, things get really bad. Accusations of pedophilia, threats, and so fort and so on. No "Turn the other check" here... The worst part is that media and celebrities are careful about criticizing Scientology, in fear of a lawsuit which only reason is to intimidate them into keeping their criticisms to a minimum, or non-existant. Anyway, Anon is tired of the abuse of freedom of speech, and has decided to declare war against the Scientos. Something that I wish them luck in, and who knows? I might even try and help them out a bit. As I mentioned, this little battle has only just begun, and there has so far been a little interest shown by the media. But if this thing actually turns into what I hope it will turn into, we're gonna hear a lot more about it soon... One of the first news casts about the battle.

Suger High

There is only one drug that everyone does. That drug is sugar. It's not like heroin or anything, but the danger with sugar is that it works in the same way, just on a much smaller scale. What happens when we eat sugar is that the brain releases all these substances that stimulates the nerves in such a way that you feel good. That's is of course not a bad thing. What is, is that since we eat such incredible amounts of sugar these days, it's in bread, pasta, in most about everything essentially, it fucks up the brain in a very small, but crucial way. When we eat sugar, the brain releases opioids. Opioids is the same thing that the brain releases when we use heroin or morphine, though of course in a much larger scale. The problem with sugar is that we can eat it all the time, and therefore keep the amount of opioids constant, we get addicted to the brains own chemicals essentially. However, this has yet to be proved to be the case on humans. Tests on rats has confirmed that they develop an addiction to sugar, and suffer from withdrawal when denied it. It is however quite likely that this is also the case with humans, since there is not that great of a difference in the brains between mammals. Though, there is of course a difference between our sugar and natural sugar. Our sugar is purified several times, treated with different chemicals, and heated amongst other things. These processes are mainly to make the sugar look good. However, they also remove all the good things with the sugar. It is however true that sugar is important for the brain. Natural sugar, that is. The natural sugar contains vitamins and minerals, amongst other things, which makes it quite healthy for us. Natural sugar is also built in a different way than processed sugar. This is important because our brains use sugar as its only fuel. However, too much is not good for it, since that actually prevents it from receiving the much needed sugar. Natural sugar is constructed in such a way that it is not directly absorbed by the body, the process takes a while, and maintains the level of sugar in the blood fairly even. Our artificial sugar, we might as well call it that, since that's essentially what it is, is absorbed almost instantly, almost as if injected into the blood. This of course causes the sugar level in the blood to peak, the body releases insulin to store this extra sugar, but the insulin levels take much longer to drop than the sugar does. The liver can't absorb all that extra insulin very fast, and don't normally need to either. The only natural source we have for that much sugar is honey, which naturally is very hard to come by. The simple fact is that our bodies does not evolve as fast as either our society, science, and brains does. And with these kinds of sugar levels, our brains won't get much further anyway. So, what should we avoid then? Mainly candy and soda, it's that easy. Eat breakfast, a real one, not waffles or anything like that.

Hobbes in the US?

I was recently writing a paper on Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, and started thinking about modern day society's that resembles their political views on how the perfect society should look. I almost instantly draw a line between the American government and Hobbes ideas about the social contract. This contract is agreed upon by the individuals, and by giving up some of their rights and freedoms to one single ruler, the society gain is stability and becomes safer for the citizens of said society. So, giving up parts of your freedom to gain security? Made me think of the Patriots Act straight away, though I must admit that I have not read the document myself, so I might be a bit off. Anyway, from what I've understood, the document gives the government the right to deny the citizens some of their rights in order to make life safer and more stable in the country. This also means that the citizens have to believe that their government will do only just that, work towards safety and stability, since it would be just as easy for them to work towards other goals as well. It's essentially a matter of control, the people give some of their control for safety, which means the government is given more control, which can also be used to restrict the control of the people further. What I'm getting at is basically that no government should be unrestricted in it's actions, even if the people made these actions possible. A government that works for itself and not it's people is no longer the peoples government. But would it work the other way around then? If we take my country, Sweden, as an example... We have a coalition government, consisting of several different political parties, which is mainly the case because of our political system. The problem with a government such as this, is that it does not have the same kind of power as the American government has. On the upside is the fact that this government is restricted because of the fact that the people have more control over it, but this might not be a very valid comparison because of the difference in size between the two country's. After all it also affect the size of the government in itself, but also how close most people can get to the government. If a majority of the people in a country is politically active it decrees' the possibility of the government to get too much control. If there is a an uninterested attitude towards politics, the government can do pretty much what it pleases, as long as it keeps the people happy. As you might suspect by now, I'm more in favor of Locke than Hobbes, though there is of course good and bad things with both their views... As there usually is in life.

Good and Evil

This is actually one of the hardest things to discus. Since there is not such thing as either good or evil, these are only word, describing different things for different people. What can be done is to define a few guidelines for what is right or wrong. For example, something that benefits everyone is a good thing, something that affect everyone negatively is bad. Though this is only barely an outline, if even that, we can at least use it in some way. Let's say a majority of people are benefited from something, and a small portions is affected negatively. Is that a good thing? Most people would say so, but it is not really representative for a democratic country, since it's run by the will of the people, and if a majority of the people benefits... Well, you see what I'm getting at here. Would this then make the majority evil? No, of course not, however, it does not make them good either. And that is because there are still a few people that had to suffer from the backlash of the greater good of the majority. But, this does not discredit the democratic system, since if a minority rules, the majority suffers instead. A truly democratic system can of course not exist, since it would have to take into account the opinions of every single individual in that society. It is not possible for such a society to exist, so instead we have one that takes into account most of the peoples general opinions. But, this is only a generalization of Good and Evil, however, that might be the best way to describe it. There is no Good and Evil, only generalizations? If we switch the view of Good and Evil to the individual, we get another view. Most people split things into these opposites, but, we do recognize the fact that things are mostly not all Evil, or all Good. People who do split thing into all Good or Evil are suffering from mental problems according to current psychological standards. But let's say one person view's something as evil, and another as good, who is right? How do we decide? We could of course decide on what benefits most people, but what if we can't do that, how do we decide then? And another thing, we can't base Good and Evil on people only, we need to use it as terms incorporating the entire planet. What benefits the planet benefits it's inhabitants after all. What we could perhaps do is decide what effects the topic being discussed as Good or Evil could have, if there is mostly positive things, it's Good, if it's mostly negative things, it's Evil. But that also depends on personal views, and since we can't disregard our own personality, we find ourselves stuck in a deadlock with ourselves. Sure, if we decide that something is good for most, but bad for oneself, we should still support it, but we don't. This is true in most cases, why that is I don't know, it might be because of instincts, or perhaps upbringing? Personality, maybe because of society itself? If it is indeed society, that is an contradiction in itself, since society is for the majority, but then would also influence us in a direction that opposes society, and promotes personal gain. I also find myself believing that people are evil, but not from birth, but because of our upbringing, and how we are influenced by society, but also media. We are literally brainwashed by the streams of commercials, life-style programs, music, movies and even our friends. They convey messages of wealth that we should strive for, things we need to be successful, how we, our life, our friends, our thought and souls should look like. And we ourselves repeat these messages, and spread the streamlining of the individual a little bit more. But, this is nothing I can say for sure, it's only a stream of consciousness you might say. It's what I suspect might be true, but I will not claim to know anything, that is up to you to decide...

Fanatical Hate Preaching Sects Attack!

Yes, you read it right. That's the most scary part, there are people who believe that hate is the way to change the world. And it's apparently Gods hate... Luckily I'm an atheist, so I'm not that offended. What did offend me the most was the praise over the dead Swedes in the Tsunami that hit Thailand. Obviously, people that tolerate homosexuals, have anal sex, and don't tolerate preachers talking shit about homosexuals, must be the children of Satan? Right? As you might have guessed by now: I am Swedish. I am in support of homosexuality, anal sex, and believe that the judging of people based on their sexual orientation, politics, religion, ethnicity or sex is wrong. I believe in peace, freedom and a society based on science and personal evolution, rather than financial gain. Here's a link to the nice people of the Westboro Baptist Church's homepage: Hatedotcom What scares me the most though, is the fact that there are several of these Hate Cults operating inside America, and probably other countries as well. For some reason they have decided that God is apparently the God of Hate. These guys clearly need to go see Kevin Smiths Dogma... And besides, I'm not sure I can say that I find this scary, I find it hilarious at some points actually... Like when they burned the Canadian flag, and declared that: "Canada is a homo-fascist state where the filthy fag agenda has become the law of the land." Yeah, right... What amazes me the most though, is that people like this hasn't been locked into mental institution yet. They're clearly fanatics, opposed to human rights, and probably ethics and moral as well. And no, moral has nothing to do with religion. I have nothing more to say, this bores me already... I also apologies for the sudden change of fonts, I'm having trouble with Blogger for some reason...

Oh Motherland...

Read this, then the blog. I don't buy it, though some of it is probably true... The guy who wrote it isn't a journalist, which is clearly noticeable in the way he writes, it's more like a column in how it's structured. I mostly wonder why the hell it's placed under news... And the fact that extreme right-wings organizations are on the upswing isn't something exclusive for Russia, it's the same thing here. Most of the racist parties have gained a lot in the latest readings, some have actually doubled. Though then we have to take into account that they don't have more than 1-2 %, and that's after they've gained some.... What further discredits this article is the fact that it's in such a crappy excuse for a paper. Look at the rest of the content for example... Kate Moss and Harry Potter. So it's a children's magazine, why didn't it say so? And the name of the article was probably what drove the stake trough poor old Dracula...

Sex for the motherland: Russian youths encouraged to procreate at camp

Yey! Sex! And what was the point of the whole thing? Mainly to compare todays Russia to the old Nazi Germany. So the name of the "article" was only to get peoples attention, and if that was what got their attention I strongly doubt that few of them got further than the picture... And to mention another thing that you did see if you payed attention, the guy is the author of the upcoming book "The New Cold War and How to Win It". Which means it's more or less commercial for his upcoming book. Though I agree with him on a few point, Putin is edging more and more towards fascism, which anyone with half a brain has noticed by now. Russia has always been a poor country, in comparison with the rest of the worlds industrial countries, nothing new here. The fact that the situations hasn't changed is what is most terrifying. The Nazis took power in Germany because of the instability's there, and the people thought that a strong ruler would be the best thing to regain stability. However the Nazis failed to do so, and therefore blamed Jews, Gypsies and a bunch of other groups to avert the anger of the people. That is of course the simplified version, and if you didn't get it, i suggest a quick visit to a very good site to learn a bit about modern history. www.wikipedia.com Though as anyone with a braincell knows, you should never totally trust wiki, always double check your info. Mindfuck for all!

No Faith

I don't kid myself in believing that anyone actually reads all the shit I write. Luckily, that don't matter, since I only write for me, and me alone. Todays topic is religion, or as i like to call it, aid for the living impaired. Though I'm not saying that all religions are shit, just most of them. The big once are the best examples, but those aren't any fun to write about, so I'll just take religion in general as an example. For instance, the fact that a person that does not believe in a religion will end up in said religions version of hell. And it doesn't matter how good that persons been. There in itself we find a contradiction. Say that this boy, let's call him George, after the monkey/president... Anyway, George is a good guy, he cares for people, even those he doesn't know, he gives money to the poor, and is active in a ideal organization or two. He doesn't believe in Krishna, Buddha or God, but follows many of their basic ideas of compassion, kindness, and all that. He still get sent to hell, the void, Samsara or whatever. Why? Because of the simple fact that he did not believe. Why would any deity care if he believed or not? They don't, cause they don't exist. Then who does? Think about it, it's not very hard. Who profits the most from organized religions? Could it be... The church?! And sure, the church does some good things, but it mostly works for it's own sake. Organizing bible camps and shit to brainwash the next generation into repeating the pattern that has existed for several hundreds of years now. And who is it that is drawn to religions? Except for children with parents that don't believe in letting their children think for themselves... Mostly those that has ended up in the outskirts of society, those that feel lost and are unsure of themselves. Sure, religion gives them a purpose, the only problem is that it's not their purpose. They chose to join because they want a feeling of security and to be a part of society once again. And this saddens me, haven't we gotten further than this? Why do we still seem to need the constant reassurance of others to put value in ourselves? Why are we still that fucking primitive? The only faith we need is faith in ourselves, and not even that, we need to know ourselves. That's it.

Democracy?

I've been thinking about the situation here in Sweden recently, and it's not as democratic as you might have been lead to believe. For instance, the income of the people making the least money has been cut thanks to our new government, who promised that everyone would get more money. Of course this does not affect them, they don't live like the poorest, and probably never has either. They fact is that the upper middle class is ruling this country, it might be right if the majority of the population were middle class, but that is of course not the case. There is always a huge mix of people from different parts of society, and as long as a majority of people from the same place in society rules, the country they rule is not a democracy. It's sad to think about those that could have become great leaders and role-models, but were so put of by the current political system that they ended up working in factories, wondering what happened to all their dreams and plans for the future. Those that could have written great novels, and made beautiful pieces of art if they only had finished their education. Now stuck dead end jobs, or not even having a job at all. having to struggle to even get food for the day. Is this good, is it right? Is it what we are supposed to be, people that ended up wrong because of glitches? Or is it the individuals fault? Not a chance, the individual is shaped by it's surrounding, mostly your parents, though I'm not talking about Freud or anything, it's just the simple fact that you are influenced a lot by your parents opinions and limitations. You, as well as everyone else is a part of a system that creates people that are getting more and more similar to each other. The technique of cloning has already been implemented on our society, it's a system designed to make us easier to manipulate, so that we stop to question, stop thinking about what's going on in the world around us. Our thoughts are drowned in the flow of information, in the assault of commercials and tv-shows. We are slowly drowning in others manufactured opinions, and do not even realize it ourselves.

About Parkour

I want to tell you a bit about what Parkour is, from my point of view. It is a efficient way of moving through the environment of course, but it is also a lot more that that. I see it as a way to get to know myself both mentally and physically, to learn what i can do with my body and mind, and realize that i am much more capable than i thought yesterday. What is important is not to be the best, it is to be as good as you yourself can be. There would be no point in trying to be better than anyone, because we are all different and we all have to adapt to our own bodys. Therefore there are no two tracuers alike, and it is also why new ways of moving can be invented, because we have to adapt to ourselves and our environment. And since everything keeps changing, we ourselves must also keep adapting to new conditions, be they physical, mental or environmental. The reasons for practicing parkour can be many, and are different from tracuer to tracuer. But there is one thing that makes them more or less the same. We train for our own sake, not to become rich or famous, to get attention or anything like that. What we do is, in my opinion, is almost a kind of physical meditation. We explore the world around us, and with it, the world within us. We expand our knowledge of ourselves, and in that way understands everything a little better.

Morning Zombies

Do you sometime doubt your own value? Feel that nothing that you do maters since it will only dissapear in the huge masses of people? Slip into a passive state were nothing you do matters, and you stop careing about whats going on in the world. You sleep while awake, as if you where dead you make your way through stores, streets, your work, and life. Why? Because of the fact that we care about the wrong things? Because we no longer work for our own sake? Because it is too hard to always care, always get angry at things that are wrong, say what you think instead of just agreeing? Wake up Donnie...

Whiplash

All fortunes should be given to the poorest people to compensate for the gigantic gaps between the rich and the poor. No person should have any significant power over another. Added sugar should be made illegal. Brands says nothing about what kind of person you are, just how brainwashed you are by commersials. Capitalism is shit. Most religions are of dogmatic nature, and therefore should be considered as something very negative, always be critical to people that claims to be right. Nobody likes fundementalists, doesn't matter if they're Muslim, Christian, Hindu or something else. Oil and gas should be illegal. Tv is mostly crap, with all commersials and bad shows being aired all the time, it's a wonder that there are still inteligent people left on this planet, thank you Discovery! McDonalds is the antichrist. Media is another thing that should be firebombed a bit. The fact that the media is supposed to inform us of what is happening in the seems to have been forgotten, what matters to them is that they make money, not that we have any knowledge of what the world looks like today. The fact that the media is also influenced by political partys is another thing that at least i am very critical against. They should at least look at the politicians a bit closer, and not take a stand like they mostly do. It's not thier jobb. Candy is another thing that should be made illegal, the only thing remotley acceptable is dark choclate, preferably with nibs, and not to much damn sugar. Soda and fast-food is also kinda bad, but sometimes a burger or a pizza is ok. Soda on the other hand should be executed! Snacks to. Can't think of anything more right now... I'll make a list of good stuff as well, not this week though.

War

Not any specific one, just war in general. It's probably the single human activity that show exactly how undeveloped our species is. Because it has nothing to do with safety and protection, it has always been about power and money in its many forms. There is nothing that is worth the kind of suffering and terror that is caused by war, and there is always a better alternative than violence in any of its forms. This goes for any acts of violence, no one has the right to harm another person, and if everyone actually lived by the saying "Treat others as you yourself would like to be treated", this world would be a much better place. And stop lying all the time and speak your mind! No lies, no violence. So easy and yet so hard.

Shut Up and Listen

I am back once more to write for no real reason other than the fact that i like to! The thing is that if you are going to write a blog you need something to say, preferably something that's not worthless. So why don't i stop right now? Be because i happen to have a lot of things to say about, mostly, how i happen to view reality. For instance i do not see any value in money, i don't really want a job at the moment, though i dont need one anyway since i'm studying. I think graffiti is art, though as everything it depends on the details. But i really didn't have any clear thought on what i wanted to write about, i just felt like writing. One thing that would be nice though, is if people learned to listen, and not just pretend that they do. And actually started looking around, because you cab find alot of beautyfull and intresting thing in your own back-yard. One thing i've learned from practicing parkour is to always look twice, because you migth have missed a angle. What is most important is of course to do what feels right. On a sidenote i'm now quite certain that i am a communist, the problem is the fact that we humans are not yet ready for that kind of society, we are to primitive and selfish, we care more about what others think than what we ourselfs do, and don't realise that luxury and happiness are two diffrent thing that most likely have nothing to do with each other. I say most likely, because i think it become harder to be happy with a lot of money, but i don't think it's impossible. Anyway, drunken love to all!

Flow

I feel like writing now suddenly. The thing is i didn't before i started to. When you do something that feel alright it's easy to keep going, to start again when you have stopped is what is hard. I just realized how i write, i don't write with a plan or even a faint structure. It just appears within me and i write, i don't know why my mind works in this way, is not to any real disadvantage, since I've got good memory and can keep things quite focused in that way. If i were to write fiction it is actually quite interesting, since you cant figure out whats going to happen next in my stories. It was actually quite some time since i wrote any fiction now, if i feel like doing something i will post it, in case someone actually reads this. I don't really care, if i did i would have stopped long ago... Flow is something overused in sports and work, everything that requires a achievement of some sort. I don't view it as that, i see flow as something close to zen, equilibrium, balance, or something similar to those words. It is more a feeling than a word if you ask me, a state of both mind and body were everything works, there are no hesitation, no obstruction of either mind or body. They are one for a brief moment. You have complete control over everything, and feel like everything is good. It also used in Le Parkour. And often, at least here i Sweden, we overuse it. I have even heard people saying that what matters is flow, meaning only to move in a smooth way. Since i see it as a whole i would disagree. A movement is beyond the physical plane, it is in your mind and in your spirit as well. It is all of you, not something that is tied to your body only. Flow is just when the motion of both mind and body are working as one. they connect and forms the Yin and Yang of the self, or rather the center of the Yin and Yang, equal parts of opposites that balance each other. This is always what i thought of as Zen, which may, or may not be true. What matters most is understanding anyway...

Writers Block

I like to write, I don't like to write a lot of crap. That I feel I have done for a while now and therefore I haven't written in a while. I have had numerous thought pass through my head since last time I wrote, I and thought I could possibly have something to say this time, however it seems that I have not. As usual. It is one of those days today, were you haven't done anything and would like to accomplish something, but you have no idea what to do. I'm gonna think about what to do for once, plan my course of action for the rest of the evening. First of I'm going to go out into my kitchen, turn on the plates and start boiling water and heating up the frying pan. Taking out some groceries first of course. Then after I've started in the kitchen, I'm going to clean up a bit while keeping my eye on the stove. Then I'm going to eat, and afterwards I'm going to... hmmm, I don't know actually. I would really like to train a bit, but since I've got a cold it wouldn't be a to bright idea... Damn, this really is boring isn't it? I don't really think a heavy organized living is my thing, I might express myself in a old manor, but rest assured I love to play and have fun. I hate to clean and prefers to take life one day at a time, I almost never study for anything more than 2 days in advance, including big exams.... Damn, now I sound like someone boring trying to sound cool instead... Fuck it, I'm hungry.

Coffee, Sleep and The Thermals

I haven't slept tonight, at all. I didn't have time t, since I had an exam I had to pass today. So right now I feel very tired, worn out and there is something very wrong with my brain. I also managed to get high from a overdose of caffeine... I decided to make coffee to be able to stay up all night studying, so I boiled some water and then poured it in a mug. I then threw some express coffee into the water... About 3 - 4 dl I think. It tasted like crap, but since I hate coffee that was expected, I added lots of sugar. Now I had something that tasted like sugar with a taste of coffee, altogether acceptable. I drank it while reading, and soon became overactive, and had a hard time concentrating. I managed to do the exam at least, but I'm never drinking coffee again. And I've heard a extremely good bloody song! The Thermals - A Pillar of Salt Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwgNMrs-i80&NR And after checking the coffee jar, I discovered that I took almost half of it... It was nearly full.

Long Tunes

The first thing i write in such a long time is not about me. It's about two things that influence people all over the world in many ways. Music and games. (Games as in computer- and video-games.) Music is for me, and alot of other people i suspect, terapy. It lets you express your emotions so much intenser than you normaly do, if you do it at all that is. (That's another problem with modern day society, detatchment from emotions.) It can also change your mood, make you happy, or make you relax. Some kinds of music lets you expess anger and hate as well. That sort of music was a part of my teen period, i listened to death metal, black metal, grindcore and other genres in the more extreme parts of metal. I still do from time to time, but these days its easier to accept things than get mad at everything. Another intressting part about age is that the older you get the calmer you get, meaning that the anger of youth dissapears, or maybe changes form into something else? I miss that anger sometimes, and sometimes i find it inside me. It's usefull at the gym sometimes, and less usefull if you bang your toe against the kitchen-table... Now, why am i taling about anger? Becouse it's what metal is about, your pissed at your girlfriend, the government, the world or something else. So what do you do? You scream and shout, and play your guitar, bass and drums as if trying to kill them. The screams can turn into a dark rumbling bass-sound from the back of your throth, a beast-like growling. Or you can aslo express sadness, or some kind of paranoia with metal. And that is just metal. There are hundred of difffrent kinds of music, and they all express something, not necesseraly emotions, but they tend to have them anyway. But there are good and bad music, most stuff that plays on the radio (at least in the bigger Swedish channels, except for the one run by the government that is) is booring, over-commersialised crap. You cant get away from the fact that the music is distriburted to make money, you can overdo it a lot... Britney Spears is probably the best example if you ask me, its not about saying something with music in this case, its about making as much money as possible. There is of course some good music which purpose is to make money too, it tends to be better if you play becouse you want to, rather than becouse you're greedy. If you could chose between playing beautiful music that changes people, and good music that makes you rich, what would you chose? Games is the worlds biggest form of entertainment, it is also the easiest one to get sucked in into. It is easier to imagining being a part of some other world when you can do things in that world, and imagine that it is your world for a couple of hours is truly entertainment. You can also get away from your real life for a while, which is always good to do from time to time. The fact that there are still people that belive computergames and videogames are just for kids shows how little they know about the world today. I'm starting to bore myself with talking about games now, so i'm just gonna recommend some nice music, bands with mostly long songs (ca 10 minutes). The Mars Volta Sigur Ros Opeth

I Hate It Here

Everybody who knows anything knows what's coming now... I'm going to tell you that you should really look up this guy called Spider Jerusalem, he's not a real person, but is never the less a better one than a lot of people. Why? Because he's honest about everything, even if his mother would look like a half dead crack-whore he would tell her, because the truth matters... Now for people. Their is two things that make people something to stay as far away from as possible. These are: they lie, and they think they are right. Some people know how to do this in a good way, and if happens to be so that you are right you might just be... A ass. Not saying that you are wrong here, just trying to explain that if you don't listen to what others think your no better than the Nazis. The thing about opinions is that everybody got them and everybody thinks they're right. Annoying because it leads to a lot of unnecessary shouting and occasional violence, since people don't seem to take kindly to getting their "truths" questioned. It's the same with everything, but mostly bigger things like religion and politics. We know this because there has never been a war over leaving a window open, but there has over religion and politics. realizing that you too can be wrong is the basics for the evolution of mankind. ...And I still think religion is an aid for the living impaired.
