Stop all the clocks.............

Plans, schedules, clocks, appointments, dates, alarms, class, assignments and deadlines. I feel like I have a hard time breathing and catching up, with life at the moment. I take a glance at the screen on my smart-phone and realize that it is already the 8^th of November. Time is a funny little thing. It seems as though we can control everything in our society nowadays, but time is the one thing that is the same for all of us. No matter if you are a congress member, a movie star or a school teacher, beautiful or ugly, skinny or fat – time will pass you by just as the next person. Time makes me blue. It makes me think of all the things that have been, all the things I miss but it also makes me wonder about the future. Time scares me to death; it makes me realize how small we are in the big picture of life and nature. Time is free, but priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. One you lose it, you can’t get it back.  My biggest concern is that I don’t spend my time the right way, with the right people at the right places. Sometimes when I am having a really nice time I close my eyes and try to freeze the moment, or take a mental picture of the feeling. Looking at old pictures of my mother and father makes me sad too, they too were once young. Time is the beauty and the curse of life, because it is so much bigger than anything else. Time reminds us that no matter how many wars we fight or how many huge jets we build, the irony of time will kick us in the ass!  

Imagine having somebody that loves you as much as Forrest loved Jenny?

I have a really hard time believing in true love at the moment. Too many broken hearts all around me, is beginning to affect my view on love. I have always been skeptical when it came to love and romance. Every time somebody tries to show me love, they end up disappointing me more than anyone could ever do. I have come up with a theory, believing in love is like believing in Santa. You start out full if faith, but at some point it all just becomes clear to you. I may have lost all faith, but maybe someday someone can show me that love really exists. I have to see it, feel it, and smell it to believe in its existence again.

I was born with the curs of procrastination

It always seems to amaze me how you can always find a million other things to do, when you have finals coming up. I rarely eat breakfast, but this morning I was all about making a huge breakfast and it was certainly not because I wanted to avoid reading :D When I am reading for exam I always have a million peculiar ideas about what I want to do other than reading. I imagine skiing, feeling the fresh cold air around me and the icy snow under my feet. I picture myself travelling with the Trans-Siberian railway and looking out the window as the spectacular landscapes pass me one by one. I see myself hiking through the Honduras jungle, imagining that that we were trying to escape the dinosaurs. Oh man I think I am in need of some adventure. 

The Little Prince - makes me dream. I love dreaming, sometimes a bit too much maybe. He remindes me to hold on to the dreamy innocence.

A snowflake on your nose - My winter likes

Winter is very long and cold in Denmark. The days get short and it seems like its night all the time. Nevertheless I love winter. I love the first snow and the smell of it. Everything becomes so silent and peaceful. I love coming home after a long day, kicking of my boots and taking of all my sweaters.

Seeing the first snowmen always makes me smile. They remind me of my childhood and how my brother and I would spend hours playing in the snow. Those were the days!

Although winter is great, it is not always as romantic. Once the snow gets dirty and it starts melting, it is not a pretty sight anymore. That is why I have gathered a couple of things that make these not so nice winter days, much better!  

A huge scarf that can keep me warm and stylish! I love this on, so different!

A gremlin doll! Sometimes something ugly can become so adorable, like this little thingy. I like that it is not a typical fluffy and girl doll.

I always have cold fingers, so I need some gloves that are really warm! I love gloves and have so many in all kinds of colors and patterns.

Some think this is silly and a waste of money, I don’t. If you don’t have a fireplace this is the perfect thing. You can get it pretty cheap and there is nothing cozier than drinking tea, reading a book and having your own fireplace in the living room.

I would not complain if I had James Franco to keep me warm on a cold winter’s night.

I HATE baking and cooking. I am clumsy and I get frustrated when things don’t turn out right, which happens more often than not. There is one exception to this, when its winter and I am in a good mood and have some spare time, I love baking cookies!

Minnesota just doesn't get it

I can tell you this; my feet will not touch the soil of Minnesota, as long as this prohibition stands!

I just can't.... fall in love with you right now

Do you know the feeling? You know you could fall in love with this person and you maybe already are in love. But the timing is wrong, you are afraid of getting hurt or something completely third. Well Tom Waits sure feels me on this one. Try listening to this song, it is really great!

Here are the lyrics!  

Tom Waits - I hope that I don't fall in love with you

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.


Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown, take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away, I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.


Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well I turn around to look at you, you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one, but we've never met,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.


I can see that you are lonesome just like me, and it being late,
You'd like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you, and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split, the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.


Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you, you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face, guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

All you really need is love, but sometimes it’s difficult to let it in!

Welcome under water, feel free to smoke!

Hey everyone who is reading!

This is my first blog entry, yay!!!

I could start writing about who I am, what I do and what my dreams are, but I will not. I am sure you will have enough time to get to know me very soon. 

This blog is intended to be my personal get-a-way place, where I can talk about what is on my mind at the moment. I hope that someone comes across and finds it interesting.

That’s it from me for now!
