11:30 : Ellen!

I'm sitting at home with my mom (who came back to Norway yesterday). Or actually, I'M sitting. My mom is all over the place cleaning, doing laundry and sort of whining in disappointment by the fact that my standards for a clean apartment are not at all the same as my mother's. 

It's almost 11:30, and I'm psyched, because ELLEN DeGeneres is on in like 5 minutes! I don't really know why I like it that much, I guess it's kinda like -'Friends'. I mean, their lives only revolve around drinking coffee and laughing at coffee house. It kinda makes you forget about your own problems. Not that I have serious problems that I am constantly thinking of. I just meant that all the things that are on your mind like the bills you should have paid, the homework you should have done and the apartment that you should have cleaned... These all disappear for 45 minutes while I'm watching Ellen or friends. It's not like Oprah or Dr. Phil, where it's all about problems and rapists, drugs, sex, violence etc etc. I actually get more stressed from watching these shows. And I mean what's the point of the whole thing? "Oh no, my granddad tried to rape my dog, I know how we will all get through this! Let's all talk about it and cry on TV!! :D" .... I never really got that.

But Ellen is awesome! AND FUNNY! ... 

Anyways, Ellen is starting RIGHT now, so I'm off. 

Peace.

  

A Random introduction of myself...(?)

As I am confused about the whole blogging situation, I have chosen to dedicate this first blog to myself (I mean, come on, most people who blog only talk about themselves and their lives anyways. Right, Aggi? ;). 

My name is Kristian, I am almost 19, and I live on a small island outside of Stavanger. No, it's not close to Oslo, and no, i am probably not acquainted with some random Norwegian guy named Ole who you might have met who happens to be Norwegian as well.. I am aware of the fact that Norway is a country with a (arguably) smaller international significance, and that only 4.8 million people live in Norway, but this does NOT mean that I know every Norwegian. I have, however, found myself in the same naïve situation before, by asking a person who happens to be from India if he knows someone I already know who is also Indian. Oh well, I guess that's just how it is. Everyone tends to be a bit narrow-minded when it comes to a different culture or a different country. So it's quite funny how we all tend to 'protect' our own nationality and our own cultural heritage, even though we normally don't give two flying fucks..

Ok, this turned into a lot more than just introducing myself, but i guess inner speech and reflection is what blogging is all about (?).

I love my friends, I love my family, I love music, i love acting, I love my piano, I love my guitar, I love food, I love popping zits, I love scratching mosquito bites, I love laughing at Judge Fu and hate him with a burning passion at the same time (inside joke), I love red wine, I love shisha, I love myself, and most importantly, I LOVE laughing. 

I honestly do believe that a good laugh is what life is about. The best times I've ever had include screaming, singing, dancing, drinking, talking and, of course, laughing. And I love the fact that laughing is something I do every single day. 

Music is a big part of my life. I sing, I play the guitar and the piano. For others, sure, but mostly for myself. I love jamming with my friends, or just playing the piano and the guitar while singing alone. It might sound cheesy, but it soothes me. 

Going to the gym is also a very big part of my life. NOT! I don't know why pretty much everyone is a gym member. Is it to clear ones conscience? To be able to tell people that you have a gym membership, even though you hardly ever go to the gym and 399 kroners (about 50 dollars) is drawn from your bank account every month? Hmm.. I just realized that I do have things on my mind that might not be that interesting, but they are still thoughts. And it's nice to be able to express ones thoughts. N'est-ce pas?

Randomness is a funny word. I love random things. I love saying random and sometimes slightly inappropriate things. I mean, why does everything always have to make sense? Because it doesn't. I guess I am random, and you know what? I like it. I like it long-time.

I see now that this was supposed to be an introduction of myself, but ended up as a random collection of my weird thoughts. But then again, this shows that I am, in fact, a random person 

( ;)+:O ) ... I know, I know!
