The swedish church = greedy bastards

Today I got my “deklarationspapper”. Those are papers which states how much tax I’ve paid during the past year and wether I’ll get a refund or need to pay extra taxes. I get a refund of 200SEK (18€) and that’s nice.

Something not so nice is the church tax of 923SEK (85€) I’ve paid the past year. I found this quite odd conscidering I left the church one year ago. I phoned the tax agency to ask what’s up with that, thinking it was some kind of mistake and that I could get some money back. Well apparantly since I left the church in early April 2008 I still pay for the rest of 2008 aswell! So basicly I was a member of the swedish church for three months last year but I pay tax for twelve months. WTF?!

Ask me again why I’m so glad I left the church.

So, a half-blind 70-year-old just got his license, rents a car a kills 5 people is more acceptable than a 24-year-old who has been driving for up to 10 years without an accident.

“How was your trip to New York?”

mom
The woman who loves you unconditionally from birth, the one who puts her kids before herself and the one who you can always count on above everyone else.

Just telling her your problems makes you feel better because mom’s always know how to make it all go away.

Even if you fight, know that she’s just looking out for your best interests.

Where would you be without your mom?

home
In relationships, “getting home” is to have sex with the other person.
(as an analogy of beisball, the different steps from kissing to actually having sex, have been compared to getting 1st,2nd 3rd base, and finally “getting home”)

I “got home” with my girl last night, if you know what i mean…

Taking a Nap
Euphemism for masturbation.

From a conversation about using masturbation to help oneself fall asleep, and it just took off from there.

I just got the new Jenna Jameson video last nite, so I took a nap and then went to bed.

Hmm… Urban Dictionary and I apparantly have very different views on what “home” and “taking a nap” means. Actually urban dictionary have a different view on what many things mean. A perculator is something you use to make coffe with. Right? Well according to Urban Dictionary it’s a dance. Slang sure is interesting. Anyway, I’m gonna take that nap now. And no, by that I don’t mean masturbating.

Tv and me

I thought about tv-shows and how many popular tv-shows I don’t follow, like or never watched. One example is “Sex and the city” which is extremely popular. I’ve seen a couple of episodes but it’s not for me for one simple reason. I can’t relate to it, at all. Well it’s about a group of 30 something career women in New York. I’m 25, live in a small town and make less than 1000$ a month.  ”Friends” on the other hand is a show I love, and can relate to. Well at least the first seasons in which they’re single, in their mid twenties and stuck with dead end jobs. Just like me! The later seasons where they get careers, get married and have kids aren’t as great. Still love the show though because of the great humour.

And then there’s…. “One Tree Hill”. What can I say besides no fucking way! I do like a couple of tv-shows aimed at teenagers but those are only old shows like “My So-called Life”. And of course “Freaks and Geeks” because it’s focusing on well… freaks and geeks instead of hot, popular rich kids. I can’t relate to people like that because I’ve never been one of those people. I was one of the “art freaks” in high school. Or “flumestet” as we’re called in Sweden.

Another show I don’t watch is “Lost”. I think I might like that one but I’ve only seen a couple of episodes and it’s not really one of those shows which you can start follow without having watched all episodes. The plot is way too complicated for that.

Yet another show I don’t watch is “Ugly Betty”. A show focusing on people in the fashion industry? No thank you. The fact that Betty is a great character isn’t enough.

And then of course there’s the hospital shows like “Grey’s Anatomy”, “House” and “Scrubs”. What can I say? I’ve never been much for hospital shows.

Something I do like is criminal shows like “NCIS”, “Bones”, “The mentalist” and “Lie To Me”. The old school bang bang-car chase-macho action-shows I don’t like. I’m not interested in seeing the police in wild shootouts. What’s interesting is the investigations behind the crimes. Of these shows “NCIS” is my favourite because of the funny characters.

And the person who counts how many times I’ve used the word “show” in this blog post wins a prize. Nah, not really. I just realized that this is pretty poorly written but it’s 01:06 and I’m hungover. I feel like shit. Cow shit perhaps. Laters!

Earth Hour – What difference does it make?

How many of you are participating in Earth Hour, turning off your lights for an hour next saturday? I’m not. Why not? Because it’s a ritual which people participate in to feel good about themselves. All of those who usually don’t give a shit about saving energy get to feel good about “doing something”. What difference does it make? It will reduce the carbon dioxide emissions for one day but after one hour people go back to their normal way of life. What we need is long term goals for change. Not just a one hour manifestation.

I recycle, use very little electricity compared to most people, don’t own a car and try to eat as much ecologic, vegetarian* and locally produced food as I can. THAT’S what people should do. Not just turn off the lights for an hour.

* “According to a 2006 United Nations initiative, the livestock industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental degradation worldwide, and modern practices of raising animals for food contributes on a “massive scale” to deforestation[2], air and water pollution, land degradation, loss of topsoil, climate change[3], the overuse of resources including oil and water, and loss of biodiversity. The initiative concluded that “the livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.” – Wikipedia

Let the sunshine in!

Hello world!

It’s been a while, eh? I just haven’t had the energy to blog. Today I’m feeling all energetic and happy though so here I am!

The sun is shining and when I look through the window I see spring! Not that anything is green yet but at least the sun is shining on a bright blue sky. All morning I’ve been listening to happy songs and for the first time in months I actually felt like going for a walk. In the winter I pretty much only go out if I have to but when spring arrives I want to be outside as much as possible. So I went for a walk by the lake and sat down on a bench to have a ice cream. I have to admit that unfortunately it was a bit too cold for that. After all it’s only 8 C in the shadow, not sure how warm in the sun.

Anyway, maybe I’ll blog more now that spring is here. My mood will get better and better for each week now. The seasons have a huge affect on me and all through winter I live like a zombie and don’t feel like doing anything. In April I wake up and here I am now, in a better mood than I’ve been in for months.

Me and my pirate gun!

pirate gun

I’ve bought a pirate gun replica! Isn’t is pretty?!

Other than that not much is going on. Småland is indeed a boring county. Sometimes I think all we have is german tourists, glass blowers and pretty nature. There’s nothing going on. At least this time of the year. I want summer, rock festivals and fairs! There’s just nothing to do in the winter. Nada! I work, hang around in my apartment and go to the pub every friday. That’s it. I don’t do anyting else!
