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

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.

This is the saddest thing I have seen. George Bush and all the other fuckwads can go fuck themselves. The anger I feel right now could rock the earth. “Major Mark Bieger found this little girl after the car bomb that attacked our guys while kids were crowding around. The soldiers here have been angry and sad for two days. They are angry because the terrorists could just as easily have waited a block or two and attacked the patrol away from the kids. Instead, the suicide bomber drove his car and hit the Stryker when about twenty children were jumping up and down and waving at the soldiers. Major Bieger, I had seen him help rescue some of our guys a week earlier during another big attack, took some of our soldiers and rushed this little girl to our hospital. He wanted her to have American surgeons and not to go to the Iraqi hospital. She didn’t make it. ”http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/little-girl.htm
