Today was the most uneventful day in a long time, seriously; nothing happened. Nothing happened in school.. Nothing happened during class, and nothing happened during the breaks either. We spoke about sportsmen in groups during English-class, I introduced Jan Ove Waldner to those in my group... And nothing has happened since I got home.
I did watch some Youtube-videos though, I found this Asian guy who made instruments out of different vegetables, mostly ocarinas and mostly carrots, he's amazing *laughter*. I'm telling you, that guy's got some talent.. if not; at least he's got imagination.
The song of today:
Why Can't We Be Friends? by War
What can I say? A great "feel-good-song", I really get happy when I hear this song, then I sing along during the chorus. I love the song, and I know that my taste of music is kind of wide XD
Bye, bye friend!

It's the end of a calm day
I had my first lesson at 10.00 today, so I got to sleep a little longer, even though I'm not good at using those opporunities so of course I was up at 07.30 or something like that. I watched some tv and then packed and went to the local indoor baths, where I had my first lesson of the day, since I had done all other things we were supposed to do before; I had to swim with clothes on, it's got to do with the lifesaving-part of the course. When we were done we took a sauna and then we had to hurry back to school, quickly eat some lunch and then go to the next lesson, which was Mathematics, after that we had Geography and then I was done and went home, it's nice to only have 3 lessons. Quite a relaxed day in other words, since then I've listened to some music and watched some tv-shows on the internet and I just watched the new episode of Bleach. I think I really needed this day, it's been stressful these last days.
I watched Bruce Springsteen's Half time show from Super Bowl on Youtube, all I could do was to smile through the whole thing, he's such a great live-artist. I really hope my dad gets tickets to one of his concerts this summer, seeing him a third time would be awesome to say the least.
Well.. I do have some homework I have to get done before my English-class tomorrow, I'll start doing that now and then I think I'll watch Made In Sweden on Swedish chanel Tv4.
The song of today:
Say by John Mayer
I fell in love with this song when I saw the movie "The Bucket List" barely a week ago, it played during the credits and I felt I had to check it out, I didn't know who John Mayer was, but he's really great, I think "Say" feels really encouraging and it's really true too. I'm good at keeping things to myself, I've got that "I don't want to bother other people with my problems (and presence)"-attitude/behaviour.. I'm not at all proud that I'm that way but that's the way it is, so that's why I feel like this song encourages me. I really enjoy the intro, it just makes me feel good.
Sleep tight!

A little bit of everything
Well... I've done both tests now, I didn't do extreamly well on any of them but I wasn't that bad either, it feels like I'll get medium-grades for both of them, a little above average but not topgrades either.
I got into a little discussion on Msn, about Valentine's Day.. Well, I kinda started the discussion, I claimed that Valentine's Day was something bad, the worst tradicion ever, infact; the worst day of the year. Of course the other two person's didn't agree.. Maybe you don't agree either, but let me explain myself, I'm not saying you have to agree after I've explained either, just let me explain my point of view.
1. Valentine's Day is commercialistic, all the gifts and so on.. are we that superficial?.. I for one wouldn't like to think so. I think it's bad enough that everybody buys tons of gifts during Christmas, that is the one part of Christmas I don't like acctually. Sure, getting presents is fun, but when I think about it; I don't feel any better in the long run.. well, I don't feel better at all, getting presents during Christmas often makes me jealous.. and jealousy never was and never will be good in any way. I think Christmas presents can bring out a lot of other bad qualities. So why have another holiday based around giving presents to each other?
2. In most countries (not all but the majority) Valentine's Day is for couples.. I don't know any holiday that celebrates individuals without partners, I mean.. there's Mother's Day and Father's Day.. And most other holidays doesn't leave anyone out. I do think that Valentine's Day may be a good holiday for people who's got somebody to share it with.. still; there's a whole lot of singles out there.. and as I've experienced it; the holiday really has the opposite effect on a lot of people.
Aaaand that's the end of that inner discussion. Or whatever that was...
Well.. I've mentioned the tests.. and Valentine's Day.. Oh, right, I just wanted you to know that I'm really comfortable with my school class this year, everyone in it is (with maybe one or two exceptions) really kind-hearted and wonderful.
I didn't do much on my freetime today, I got Mirror's Edge back from my classmate today, I downloaded the new free map from Playstation Store and tried to beat all of my time trial records, he did have better times than me on almost every track, but I'll catch up.
I listened to the new album The Fray released today too, it's hard to say if it was as good as their previous work.. but I do think there was some great songs there, I liked Ungodly Hour the most I think, cause it reminded me the most of their previous songs... Although "You Found Me"'s great too...
I'll try to get my well-earned sleep now, I'm mighty tired.
The song of today:
Mercy by Sam Hart a.k.a. Blinktwice4y a.k.a. Mario Kart Guy
Have I ever told.. well... anyone that I'm so into acoustic music?..No? Well now I have, I love the feeling that it is really pure and from the heart you get from acoustic music. Although the song does has got to have great lyrics. Obviously this song does have both, combine that with a voice I find really great and you've got this song.. Compared to his most famous song; Mario Kart Love Song, this one doesn't have that (although "charming"(in lack of better words)) reference-fun part- I do like the Mario Kart Love Song but I prefer Mercy, I can really feel those lyrics more. Listen to it, it's on YouTube, not hard to find at all with all the information I just gave you.
Have a good one //yours truely

Sweden in early february
At least where I live (somewhere in the middle part of Sweden) we've got a layer of snow on the ground right now, not as thick as I remember from my childhood, but still, I would say there's a 1 dm thick layer. The tempature is somewhere around 0°C, sometimes more, sometimes less. The sun shines during school hours but not all that long after that. That was the weather-report haha. No, I wanted to give you an insight of how my enviroment is right now, you know a little about how depressing it can be, eventhough sometimes beautiful.
Enough about that, I think mostly why I noticed that all of a sudden is that I've got so much work in school, I had a Swedish-class test today, about that book I read during the weekend and tomorrow I've got two more tests in different subjects, so basicly what I'm doing today except writing here is studying. I think that I havn't had time to think about things like that, I mean, like the weather and all. So when I began to think of it, I got caught in it because I do need a little rest from all the schoolwork.
One interesting thing is regarding "Staden och Framtiden" (Directly translated it reads "City and the Future") a subject I have on mondays, we learn about the development of cities, why they were built in different places during different periods of times, how the plan for cities look and also a little smaller scale arciteture (the arcitecture is not a big part of the subject at all). Anyway, that class have been offered to help out with the new planning for our city/town, they are basicly making a map with possible areas for different things, like; where should industries lie and where should there be playgrounds or residential houses and so on, the plan is looking over a timespan of about 20-30 years into the future. What we've been asked to do is to do some research about what the youth of my town desires, what they think is missing, like activities and shops and if they think they are in need of a place to hang out and so on, additionally we are to check where most people hang out when they are outside. In the end we are to have some sort of clear result or we will propose something that we have found out is needed. I am a little excited about this as you may notice but think about it;
1. This is not at all like any other schoolwork I've experienced so far
2. We may well influence the future of our hometown.
I forgot to tell you yesterday that I've got Spotify now, the great audiostreaming program, I just love it, I do believe it is one of the greatest ideas of "modern time". So that's where I listen to music nowadays.
As you may understand I've got a lot of studying to do so I won't tell you anything more about what've happened since last time, that can wait until I've got time to do something again.
The song of today:
Crosses by José González
LOVELY, DIFFERENT, BRILLIANT.
That's my thoughts about it, if I were to describe it very shortly.. oh wait.. I guess I am describing it very shortly because I really need to study now, just listen to it and make up your own opinion if you want more information. The song Teardrop by the same guy is almost as good.
Until next time; I'll see you guys.

Hey! Guess what !?!?
*Silence*.. no guesses?.. Aw.. is it just me or are you guys as quiet as this blog has been the last.. two months? You like the spirit, right ? I get yah', I get yah'. Anyway; the big news is; I AM STILL HERE! Can you believe it? No? Well, me neither, as always; my inspiration to write comes from other people, sadly the person who inspired me to start this blog after my first one doesn't have her blog left, it is gone. On to positive news; I found out about another online-friend's blog just some days ago.. And so that inspired me to write now, 'cause I realized that I havn't written anything.. since last year really XD.. I think of this blog many times more than I write in it and that's a shame, a real shame BUT I will try to do better from now on.
Well....
This was so much fun I forgot to actually have anything to say.. let's see.. I've done tons of things since last time, I will tell you some about maybe the most important stuff later on when I've got time on my hands, until then; this;
Is all I have to say about perhaps the most important thing since last time; UPPCON:09. As I said; more about that later.. maybe. The thing is that I started the day by reading a book that is supposed to be finished tomorrow, yes, I finished it.. But the rest of the day I've been like a walking ghost, seriously.. Can't bring me to do anything else.. well, there's a tomorrow too.. schoolday, woooooopdedadaho! Something like that.
Well, I looked through my collection of poems and smart stuff and things like that I've got on my computer, I write things I find meaningful there, mostly my own "work".. So; I thought I would give you the one that is in English, it's a "saying" (or something like that) I made up;
Life's like a bad rent-movie;You've payed for the crap so you'll have to sit back and watch it the remaining 100 minutes or so
Aaaand finally;
The song of today:
Use Somebody by Kings of Leon
A heads up from my sister (thank you), she told me to listen to it, I loved it from the start.. Unfortunatly for me, when I started to listen to all their other songs.. I didn't find any song as good as this, eventhough they were great too, they were not as great, my sister does have some taste in music from my point of view at least. It's a shame I got to hear the best song first, what I want when I look through songs from some band or somthing is to be more and more stunned by the many different stunningly beautiful and powerful - or something like that - songs. I'm sorry this wasn't the case this time, but I believe that they will have more great songs in the future, oh well, love this song, the whole song through is a great feast, I really fall into the song and imagine all sorts of things, the song is a great storyteller and I feel like I completely understand what is sung, eventhough I probably don't haha.
Well, that's that for now, have a great time.. being you.

I feel pretty good
I really do feel pretty good about myself right now, I said no to some friends, they wanted to hangout but I really needed to get my homework done.. And it's almost finished! The most urgent one is supposed to be in by tuesday, so I've got a whole day to finish it.. and I've practiced some History for the test on wednesday, I've also read the text that I'm supposed to read before my Latin class this this friday, the thing I didn't do was I didn't write a schedule for my (and a friends) leader-assignment for this wednesday, that means me and a friend will be "teachers" next gym-class, we'll have the class play basketball. So I'm proud of myself, I worked on a lot of homework when I really needed to.
The song of today:
Långa Nätter by Melissa Horn
Once again I didn't know which song to pick, I just started to listen to her, I heard her song with Lars Winnerbäck before but didn't get interested enough to look up more of her songs then. Right now I regret not having done that before, in my mind she is great, really great. Guitar, awesome voice and great text, I completely love all of it. I really like many of her songs, if you like Långa Nätter, checkout Kungsholmens Hamn and Hanna too.. and her other songs!

Pom-boff!
F*** it! I've decided to write here again. I write when I feel like it, no more, no less, at least I'll try to do this like that. I don't know if I've written that I love my new class in school this year, it's almost as great as my class that I had from the seventh to ninth grade, the bad about mixing the classes from last year is that I have some other teachers too, and the change wasn't for the better, too bad my English-teacher can't teach (among other new, bad teachers). Life since last time has been about school mostly, I've started practicing Parkour with mainly one of my friends again (the other one have joined some of the times too), this time inside, we go to the gym halls of school on wednesdays because we know that nobody is there at that time.
I've only been to Kenny's place once since last time.. I think.. well my cousin came over during the vacations of autumn, that was fun. I don't know if I've told you about this but there's this girl from my 7-9 grade -class.. anyway; she added me on msn all of a sudden, I found out shortly afterwards that a "friend" (we are not exactly close) of mine had jokingly asked how things were working with me and then asked if she wanted my msn, she answered "sure, why not" or something like that.. Story of my life I guess.
Right now I've got plenty of homework, and I really mean it this time, a whole lot of it, I'll try to get most of it done 'til the end of the weekend, my grades was really below my expectations in almost every subject (the exception is Geography).. and it's been that way up until.. last week or something, I feel like it's turning around now and I´m really happy about that... I just have to keep on working hard.
The song of today:
Maybe Tomorrow by Stereophonics
I love this song, the whole sound feels kind of unique and the text feels... cleansing or something, I don´t know how to explain it in a better way, it´s a little "random" and at the same time really full of meaning and it brings hope. AND it´s in one of my favorite movies Wicker Park, I hope you´ll enjoy this song as much as I do.
