Obama and His Family During the Celebration
I am extremely pleased that Barack Obama won the election. I stayed up as long as I could, but fell asleep before the results. I woke up, opened my laptop in bed, read the results and cried. It was as if a valve, that had been closed for 8 years, had been opened. For the first time in my life I feel hope.
Being a Generation X’er, I, honestly never believed the future was bright, full of promise and hope. I feel hope, ironically, since I live in Norway, now. I really feel like the regular, average, everyday American will benefit greatly.
I come from a generation of cynics. Do I really believe all will be great, the world will embrace peace, the sick will be healed and the US will become a land of true happiness? Yes, yes I do.
Over the summer, in July, I was part of a commercial for Norway’s largest sport company, G-Sport. We traveled up to Jutenheimen and filmed for 2 days. It was a lot of fun. The weather was great, the scenery was amazing and the people I worked with were fantastic.
Here are a few pics from the shoot.
Me during one shoot. My clothes were supposed to be 70
Throwing the backpack
Me fishing ( I thought this one would be in it for sure)
Now, here’s what did make it in… Kinda sucks but hey, I got paid and had fun.
Just me in a very long shot.
AND FINALLY… The complete commercial airing in Norway now.
