Ny blogg!

Kasper prøver seg på Tumbler.

Så i den nærmeste fremtid kommer sannsynligvis de ferskeste blogginnleggende her.

Så får vi se om det funker i lengden..

Skulle ha lært seg å spille litt..

2010? Allerede?

Inne i mitt 24 år. Blitt onkel. Det florerer av giftemål og forlovelser. Er det på tide å bli etablert? Et meningsløst spørsmål. Det gjelder å ikke tenke sånn hører jeg. Ikke stress. Og så bare skjer ting. Javel. Da prøver jeg på det.

OK, så hva skjer i 2010? Jeg går på høyskolen, tar fag på universitetet, har litt verv her og der og her mer enn nok å gjøre. Det blir en travel vår. Men allikevel vår. Og det er så uendelig mye bedre en høst.

Det er kaldt. Så kaldt at forside på forside rimes ned av store bokstaver om at det er kaldt. Det som venter i 2010 derimot, det varmer.

Kasper og Anja planlegger et eventyr til høsten. Vi vil jobbe frivillig, få litt erfaring og oppleve verden. Men hvor? Det må vi finne ut av.

Bilder fra India!

Har jeg vært i India i det siste, hører jeg du spør! Nei, men var i 2005 og kom tilfeldigvis over noen bilder som lå på en CD her hjemme. På grunn av maks uflaks på bildefronten er de fleste minner kun i våre hoder, men nå har jeg altså lagt ut noen på Flickr. Sjekk it!

Ellers er det jul og rolige dager i Larvik. Kombinasjonen av lite planer og min evne til å utsette nødvendige oppgaver føles ganske bra i øyeblikket. Snart nytt år og tilbake til hverdagen.. Men fremtiden, den kan bekymre seg selv.

Wear sunscreen

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’99
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked….

You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard;live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel. Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…
