I've moved away from here!

My new home is at WordPress :)

Song of the post: Johnny Cash - I Won't Back Down

I'm still alive and kicking, more than ever!

I lay and thought a bit of my life yesterday night in the bed. If I would have done the same thing about half a year ago, i probably would have ended up behind the computer playing some game or something to clear the mind from all thoughts..

Yesterday was different. A lot different. I think it's enough to say that I could roll over to the other side and fall asleep easily after a while =) Thing is that I actually was trying to find something in my life at the moment that could bring me down, but I couldn't think of anything!

I'm really starting to make friends here, work is going great, I've made it through the first, probably worst and possibly only, "did I make the right thing to move" situation, and the summer is hopefully coming soon!

Okay it may sound like I feel terrific now. Compared to 6-7 months ago, I do. But I don't really feel terrific. To feel terrific I think I would need a girlfriend :)

Of course there's still some things I myself have to work on like losing weight and eating more different dishes. But those two are entirely up to myself, and I totally trust myself on the first one. If I really want, I can lose this extra weight easily. I've done it before.

The second thing is something that I don't really trust myself on though.. I've been eating like this (or rather, not eating..) like all my life, so I don't really know. That is of course entirely up to myself, but my psyche is not strong enough when it comes to doing that alone.. It definitively helps when you get put into situations where you just have to eat what's being served, situations that I myself can't control but only have two choices. Being rude or eat. And the last year-year and a half I've chosen eat. But those situations has not occured so often.. Damn what a rant this is.

Anyway, this was actually meant to be a happy post, and it still is! So I'm just ending it with these lines:

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Last but not least.. Walk The Line is one of the best movies I've seen for a long, long time. So moved by it.

The best scene is without a doubt when June Carter is singing the first words of Ring of Fire sitting alone plucking on her instrument in her house..

Did you change jobs? Several times, even though just two of them were real jobs, or one of them would have been if i had stayed.

Will you look for a new job in 2006? I think so. But not really actively unless I don't get a new contract here.

Okay not really, but it's the end of 2005 and of course we have to do all kinds of unnecessary lists this time of the year. So I'm starting off with the usual, the Music.

It's the best music I've listened to this year, not necessarily released this year. To me the release date does not matter because music is so personal so I'm thinking of this as my music year 2005, and for that, these albums have been the best.

Electric Eel Shock - Beat Me!
I can't believe this band didn't exist on this site until I uplodaded this crazy japanese rock n roll monster earlier today.

The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
no need for explanation eh...

Sigur Rós - Takk
Or actually all of their albums. Totally blown away by Sigur Ros this year together with all the other post-rock like Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai and Mono for example.

Randy - Randy The Band
Not as good as I had expected, but it's still a pretty damn good record. Far from being as good as 'The Human Atom Bombs' though.

Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Classified
Swing it baby!

Robert Plant & The Strange Sensation - Might Rearranger
Can't say anything that hasn't been said about the God of Rock 'n roll.

Saul Williams - s/t.
Best Hip-Hop album since Jurassic 5's Quality Control

Songs Ohia - The Magnolia Electric Co
I'm in another world listening to this.. Even without.. eh. help.

SOAD - Hypnotize
My cock is much bigger than yours.

Jeff Buckley - Grace
Most. Wonderful. Male. Voice. Ever.

Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Silents Of
Something is very wrong with the singer in this band. He's worse than the High Talker in Seinfeld.

Danger Doom - The Mouse and the Mask

Dread Zeppelin - Un-Led Ed
In certain state of minds some songs sounds even better than the original.. mysteriously enough.

Eels - Blinking Lights and the Other Revelations
U2 without all that pretentiousness. Which makes it great instead of unbearable.

Flogging Molly - Within A Mile Of Home
How can you not love irish folk music punkrock?

Kaizers Orchestra - Maestro
Maestrooooooo! Norwegians are truly crazy.

MF Doom - Operation Doomsday

Moneybrother - To Die Alone
This guy doesn't come far behind Jeff Buckley.. An even better thing is that he supports the right team :D

Hmm.. I think that's enough. One more thing though..

Very far from the list:
Korn - See you on the other side.
It's only the opening track that is ok. The rest is pure shit. Straight from the toilet.
