I have been reading a little history. If you are not in the mood to be depressed don’t look at Napolean’s history and Great Britains’ history. In both areas there are times when the downfall came from arrogance and self-righteousness.
The thing is, most of the bad stuff happens with little notice. Think of the [...]

Incredible. Pay no mind to the silly beginning and end of the video. I like Ron Paul but even he can’t solve our problems as a country.

I spoke in a past post about the Norwegian Government ‘giving’ each student a laptop by next year. Well, with a little more information, I found out another interesting thing about it. It turns out that for three years (and correct me if I am wrong) the students must pay 800 kroner, roughly [...]

I think my head just exploded. I feel like my whole world has gone spinning out of control.

I have this recurring song lyric floating through my brain. From Elton John’s “Your Song”

I have been sitting here thinking about this summer, here in Norway, and how I dealt with it.
The summer started off as a promise of fun days out in the wildernes. It turned out to be a constant reminder that Mother Nature is in charge. It rained everyday. Some days we had sun, we ran [...]

This happened just 2 days ago.
(Conversation translated to English)
Me(on the phone): Hi! I am calling about the dog you have for sale. He looks like a good dog and we are very interested.
Lady on phone: I’m sorry. The dog has been sold. Good-bye.
Now, the ad was posted online at 8am. I was calling at [...]
