"What About 'The Meaning of Life'??"

Note: This post was first posted February 21.

Yes, I am aware that I said the other blog post would be something I took from my old blog. However, it seems to be down – and has been for a week or so – and so I'd rather spend my time writing something. So sue me. Or wait – don't.

Right now, I am sitting in bed and looking out the window, where the snow is dropping like a sick, heavy cloud. Outside, that is, not in the window itself. Not only that, but it's the second day in a row in which the snow is strangling my fair town. I realize that I hate snow a lot considering I'm a skier. I got my first skis, as far as I know, when I was one-and-a-half years old, and I've been doing alpine skiing on and off for eighteen years. And yet I hate snow. Not all snow, of course. Just the snow that's here. I love snow up in the mountains, because then I choose snow. Have I said 'snow' a lot now? Snowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnowsnow....meh, now it has lost all meaning. I hate when words lose their meaning. But as far as snow goes I can't say that I mind all that much. I fucking hate snow.

I was looking at pictures from the Dominican Republic yesterday. Why the hell do I live in Norway, anyway? I'm a hair away from calling Hamish, asking him to save me a seat in Australia. Away from the forest fires, though. I dislike those. I think I'd even choose snow over forest fires. Well I guess that depends how much snow, and how big forest fires – and how close the forest fires are to me. Right now I like snow less than I like forest fires. But the Dominican Republic has neither snow nor forest fires – perhaps that's the place to move? On the other hand, getting mugged isn't so great either – but you could just as easily get mugged in say Oslo or New York. I've managed to get mugged both places.

There's a lot of fuzz about global warming, but I don't think we see enough of it here in Norway. When are we getting subtropic climate?? I understand that we can't have that in the north, from Trondheim and up, since we do need ski resorts, but how about down here in the south? By the way, I think that should be FrPs (the Norwegian progress party – which deny that global warming is caused by human activities) new slogan: «FrP – Because 20 degrees Celsius Isn't Really Summer».

I may have mentioned it already, but I will probably post both audio and video here eventually. And photos? Maybe. Possibly. I'm not too fond of photos really. And I'll write a lot about war and peace and religion and politics and stuff. Okidok? Goodie.
