Quick Note

Well since all I've done lately is post huge posts I wanted to change it up a little bit with a few quick notes;

I completely forgot about Brett Dennen's newest album on my last list, it's called "Hope for the Hopeless".. and it's very good! I do think that "So much more" is a better album but still, the song "Heaven" is great.

I'm doing some kind of home assignment or something today.. it's not all that fun but it has to be done.

I'm ending my short break from it right now, bye!

Blogger says this is my 200th post, I think it is a bit inaccurate but I can't be bothered to count myself

If I'll remember this year..
It'll be for it's music
For the tears
And for the fear

I'll definitely forget about
The stress
Loneliness
And distress

By, of and for; Me!

Well now, I was in a larger city of Sweden than mine last weekend.. without money or a place to stay.. why? Because me and my friend were trying to get a little insight for our one-year school project we are supposed to do this year, as you might have guessed; we chose homelessness as our "topic". All I can say is that I (when I got home in the middle of the night) showered, ate a whole pizza without getting all too full, watched some anime and went to bed and slept for 13 hours (as I was tired, hungry, dirty, frozen and bored (this was the most unexpected one)). And now I've almost wasted a whole week being free from school.. I guess I'll try to work on school work the rest of the weekend but I don't think I'll get to do all that much. Wish me luck!

And now; my second list of things on this blog! (The first one was in; http://theoneiwasyesterday.blogspot.com/2009/05/this-is-sample-of-what-my-blog-could.html)

Top 5 quite new albums!

Now, just like last time I'll explain a little bit why; I really looked forward to October 14th because Melissa Horn's second album was released and Markus Krunegård at the same time released two albums.. and when I think about it; many great albums have been released during the last weeks or months (just like there were many great releases this spring like The Fray, Söder Om Kärleken, Dancing The Whole Way Home, No Line On The Horizon, Working On A Dream and FREE) .. So I've made a list; top 5 quite new albums..!

1. Säg ingenting till mig by Melissa Horn
- Because it is wonderful and everything I hoped it would be, the songs are really great and I think they have a lot of heart. Unlike all of the other albums on this list, there is not a single song that I don't like or something like that. The voice, lyrics and everything else is great and emotional. My favorite song; Hur ska det gå?

2. I Told You I Was Freaky by Flight Of The Conchords
- I've been listening to Flight Of The Conchords since the beginning of this year I think, and they've got funny songs with great melodies and so on so you can listen to them for that aspect of it too, the humor is, in my mind often a little more subtle than Stephen Lynch or "Wierd Al" Yankovic. This album didn't disappoint me at all and I think it's even better than the album "Flight Of The Conchords" from 2008. My favorite song; Rambling Through The Avenues Of Time.

3. Hip Hop by Ken Ring
- I completely love some of the songs on this album and some of them are not really of my taste even though I can see why they're great songs (Like "Kör på"). "Ber en bön" is really great and emotional and as I've told you my in a previous post; my friend was not well some time ago.. and I really could relate to this song in many ways (Here's a great live-version from a Swedish morning show; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ-MYrSDObI). There are more emotional songs like "God Morgon", overall great lyrics and great beats and music, really. My favorite song; Ber en bön.

4. Tänk om jag ångrar mig och sen ångrar mig igen by Lars Winnerbäck
- To tell the truth, I was a little disappointed with this album, it's not completely what I hoped it would be, I still like it but it feels like something is missing. I guess I'm going to love it in a few months but right now it's not one of my favorite albums from Lars Winnerbäck. It could be the change in instruments used but I don't really think that's it. Oh well, there are great songs on it after all and I do like the album very much, it's on this list after all! "Jag får liksom ingen ordning" and "Fribiljett mot himlen" are both great and "Berätta hur du gör" is a great finish with a calm atmosphere to it. My favorite song; Jag får liksom ingen ordning.

5. Prinsen av Peking by Markus Krunegård, Lev som en gris dö som en hund by Markus Krunegård and Odenplan, Stockholm 1988 by Mange Schmidt. I'm kind of disappointed with all of these, I love them but they could, in my eyes have been so much more. I will grow to love the albums even more I think but right now I feel like I like the artists previous works more. The two albums from Markus Krunegård are different from each other when both of them should have (in my eyes) been a mix of them both, I don't really like the instruments and they both start out.. well.. not so great, both of the albums are like a million times greater in the later songs, somewhere from the sixth song on both of them. My favorite songs; New York, Barn från rödastan and Håll Käften Del III - Feat. Thomas Rusiak & Eye-N-I.

On the gaming front; Uncharted 2 is greater than I thought and BlazBlue still rocks (I played both of them at Kenny's place this week, I played BlazBlue the first time some month ago or something). And Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 didn't disappoint; Deadpool is now one of my idols.

About that video I did a voice for... here it is;

I did the voice for Otaku, the one with blue hair and glasses.. Oh and also; If you want to understand a little better what's happening.. here's the first episode; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZfeUP2POac

I hope you enjoyed, I'm having trouble saving my first youtube-video, I'll try to fix that.. and maybe update this post with the link to the video if I get it right, have a nice day.

Oh, here's a picture I made a long time ago in paint;

Simple explanations from one mind

Hello again! Its not that I can't keep up with my old pace, I just don't have the need to do it right now.. I do think that I will start writing more often... some day, just like my biggest period of "not-writing" last fall.. I will come back but until then I will write when I really feel like it and feel like I've got something to write about.. I like to write about small unimportant stuff sometimes like when I go out walking for hours or what my thoughts on some subjects are. BUT I don't like writing about say.. being really stressed or doing homework or going to school or something like that.. And that's pretty much what I've done the last weeks.. so that's a major reason why I'm not writing..

My cousin and his family came over (to celebrate my sister) during the weekend and the week before that I was at Kenny's place so I've used my weekends for fun stuff at least!

When I haven't been studying or thinking about studying the last couple of days I've felt really creative, I think I will have my voice in a short, animated youtube(& Newgrounds)-video or something, there is a guy who thought of making a series of videos about finding UppCon during their "Rädda Uppcon" campaign.. and he wanted voice actors in the forums, I said I could try and it looks like I will be in the next (the second) episode.. so that was fun recording.

And I've recorded some video of my own with my mobile phone and I think I will have my first youtube-video from my own account up sometimes soon. So yeah that was a little status update for you, I do hope you are doing okay and feeling alright, take care.

(Oh and I had an idea; maybe I will make up for my lack of presence a bit by having a week full of Song of's.. but that's just an idea)

What? Why? Huh?

Ok here's the deal; My friend is.. not so well.. (I could tell you all the details and what this is about but I won't).. and I'm feeling quite (mentally) ill because of that and I need to be there for my friend.. in other words; that's why I haven't been writing here now and it also kind of prevents me to do homework and stuff like that.. which sucks because I really do need to do that.. it's easier to forget about everything during schoolhours.. oh well I hope I don't sound too down and instead of writing more I'm going to show you some pictures and images, enjoy and live life to the fullest.


Bye~

A quick update or something like that.

I've listened through all things Håkan Hellström on spotify today and yesterday.. but then, when I was finished; I checked "what's new" a bit.. and found this great band "Blue October", I liked the name and the coverart for their new album so I listened.. and I like it!.. and then I saw that they had a song together with Imogen Heap.. and I started listening to Imogen Heap about a month ago! Greatness.

Anyway, I've been sick since like.. thursday.. I'm almost well now I think, I hope I can go to school tomorrow and I believe I will too.. my family's eating pizza soon, when my mom *as I'm writing this I hear the frontdoor slam downstairs*.. now! My mom and sister have been in Stockholm during the weekend.. well.. good bye, I'll go eat now!

A tale about well.. this day

I was stressed and.. like.. had a headache and felt really worn out, mostly because of yesterday.. and well.. I tried to complete some translating for my Latin class that I had not completed.. I failed in doing so but my teacher was rather understanding.. and since I got home.. I read through Candide, written by Voltaire, I really enjoyed reading it! So now I think I'll go to bed or do some more homework, I've only got one lesson tomorrow. That's all I think, bye.

Hi guys!

My will to write here and read other blogs is slowly starting to come back but I will not ruin it by writing all that much just yet. (Maybe this is just an excuse not to do more of my homework right now.. I got stuck with math.. and got quite frustrated.. and I have to do some more math before tomorrow.. and I have to study Latin too.. well.. I hope it'll be alright..) A week has passed since school began.. and it isn't that bad once you get over the first "The-school-has-started-and-my-life-is-over-depression".. oh.. and lately.. I've listened to Raymond & Maria.. ALOT.. mostly their album "Hur mycket jag tar finns alltid lite kvar".. it's great, especially the song "Dikter på fel sätt".. well, that's all, bye, take care.
