Life of Bjoernar

Hey you!

Today has been a quite good start of the week, despite all the task that has to be done. There’s a lot of things that has to be done by the end of this week, and I can feel the stress and the doubt of getting everything ready and perfect at time. That’s just an average feeling of a week. Nothing different than any other week.

I’m gonna be at the World Championship for dogsledding by the way. I have to. Obviously I don’t have a choice. If I see an American film crew, I’m gonna ask for an autograph... randomly. I just want a piece of America. I got some newspapers my cousin in USA used to wrap the Christmas present in. Yeah, I’m a weirdo. It’s just that I want to move to the United States really badly. I think the USA is the best country ever existing.

Today or tomorrow I’m gonna fill in an application I’ll use for moving away from here. If they accept the application, I’m able to move away from where I live. Ah, it’s gonna be great. I can’t take this place anymore. I really hope I got what it takes to be able to move.

I’m sorry for the short blog, but I got some tasks I have to do. I didn’t actually have time to write, but I kinda did anyway. I’m gonna write early tomorrow so you can get a better blog tomorrow (the first day of February). I’m gonna beat my stats in February even though it’s a couple of days missing in February. Well, tomorrow I’m perhaps going to a class of writing, so if I’m going, I will be sharing some experiences with you guys.

Anyway, I’ll see you around!

Hey you, how's it going?

It's great to have some days off once in a while. It's good to relax, do something with your friends, having fun... finally you got some time to do what you want. It' wonderful. So what are you doing this weekend? I'm only going to chill out, but if someone's available today I might give them a call. Maybe I should just sit down and enjoy the "stupidness" of Norwegian TV. It's a lot of crap you see on our screen.

I mean; they're sending hundreds of programs of woodchopping and fishing things. It's extremely boring. It's like: "Are the woodchopping choppers able to cut this tree?! Find out after the break", and when the break is over, it's like: "Yes, they could". OMG it so boring to watch hundreds of these kinds of programs about things that's not even interesting. It's not funny, it's not interesting, it's not entertaining... get it off the air, please!

That's why I try to watch American TV as much as I can. At least the Americans knows what to send. When something interesting is suppose to be send, they send it. When something entertaining is suppose to be send, they send it. When they're suppose to send something funny, they definitely send it. Why can't we have something funny, interesting and entertaining in Norway? They got some good stuff like "How I Met Your Mother", "Two and a Half Men" and the channel ESPN America, but that's not enough. They're sending "How I Met Your Mother" once a day. ONCE! That sucks. The greatest things only comes once a day. Even Sweden sends more of the great American (and Swedish) shows than us in Norway. Sweden is a head in front of us. America has a lot of heads on front of us. Norway needs to develop to survive. Well, for now, I guess I'll stick to the internet. The internet is much better. If only someone from the TV-channels in Norway like NRK, TV2, TV3 or Viasat 4 reed this.

They're also sending Simpsons, but they only send the oldest/those we've seen already. Update, Norwegian TV, update!

So, I just found out that Justin Bieber is nominated for The Brits - International Breakthrough Act (I know, I'm two days late). You know; even though I'm not the biggest fan of Justin, I'm happy for him. This is a young kid who became a huge star in no time, and he should be an inspiration for us all wanting to become a known musician. For me, he's more of an inspiration than a good musician, but who cares if the music is great if he's inspiring. I really want people to hear my music, and he's a huge inspiration source to be honest. Therefore, I want you to vote on Justin Bieber for The Brits - International Breakthrough Act. You simply click here to vote. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page, register yourself and vote. He deserves it, I think. If you think the opposite, good for you. If you don't like him, you might just wanna put your anger into the comments of THIS video. Of course, if you wanna tell me how bad/good you think Justin Bieber is, then please do. I don't mind. I respect the fact that other peoples got their own opinion about him. A musician is a person that a group of people like. No one said that everyone has to like him. ;-)

Wow, this is some news I couldn't resist looking at. There is a 25-year old Pakistani woman who's doing first grade in northwest Pakistan. She's married, and two of her three kids is her classmate. She actually enjoys being a student at a elementary school. I would never take first grade all over again, as a student. What's good about this is that she want to learn. She obviously hasn't learned a lot from the school she's been a student at (if she has been at school), so she thought it might be great to start at elementary school. That's shocking. It's great to start learning, but elementary school? The teacher is positive to that thought, and she even says he'll/she'll teach her during recess. The teacher also says that if she's educated, then the other family members will be educated as well. I believe that's true. The mother of three children is doing elementary school, then the kids will be able to educate themselves in a young age as well. If more people start educating themselves, maybe the country would be better to live in. More educated people, more people working and earning money. You can read more about this story here.

Well, that's it for todays blog. Stay tuned for more!

Peace.
 

Hi guys!

I've been thinking about the video blogging for a while. I've come with the decision, that I... am... NOT... going... to... wait too long before starting. Haha, you should have seen your face! Sorry, I just thought you might need those extra heartbeats on a Sunday. Happy Sunday, guys!

But seriously, I need to start the video blogging soon. There is a few things I have to do before I can start vlogging. Which is:

Accent


I need to have an understandable English accent before getting into video blogging. Why? The reason is because I want the viewers to understand what I'm saying so they can understand what's going on. Another reason is that I want my blog to be as close to perfect as possible. Despite the fact that nothing is perfect, I want it to be as perfect as I can. Therefore I think that having a good American English accent would help. You may wonder right now; why American? American accent is the English closest to our Norwegian English accent. In the Norwegian English accent the "R" and such things is said. So by choosing American English accent, it's easier to be reminded that the "R" is allowed. If you ask me, the British English accent cuts away the "R" in a lot of sentence, plus that I'm more familiar with the American English accent.

Introduction


I really want people to know who I am before starting the real video blog. Therefore I thought about making a video where I introduce myself. My name is so hard to say in English and the basics you need to know about me I thought would be smart to gather in a video. So I thought about having a white background/room, sitting on a chair talking about some of the basics of me. When the clip is up, people know why I do some of the things I do and so on.

Name on the Series


I need to have a name on my video blog. I can't call it "Life of Bjørnar" because it's lame, hard to write and I'm not happy or confident about it. Therefore I will be making my video blog into "TV-series". Just like Charles Trippy's video blog's named "Internet Killed Television", mine has to have a name as well. If I don't have this, I'm not gonna be confident about my video blog. I got so much to show the world within my skills, therefore I don't want to make it cheesy just because it's easy. The name is something I have to think about really hard. It's gonna be harder to start changing the name of my video blog than it is to change the name of my blog.

This is Marley, the crazy squirrelchasing dog from "Internet Killed Television".

These things is what remains before I can start video blogging. If I had to rate the difficulty of these things, I would say that the accent is the hardest and the introduction is the easiest. So if you know my frustration, then great. I don't have to explain. If you don't get it, let me just say that I'm very careful about every single detail. I don't want to look bad or make bad impression on people. I want this to become series of good video blogs, so that's why I'm so careful.

If you got any suggestions on what name my video blog should have, leave a comment. The one with the name I like the most, wins something. It's a secret what you win, but leave a comment with serious suggestions so I can see them. You think I'm not going to give you a price if you win, but I am. I'm not telling what you'll get yet, and it's not because I don't know what to give - I do know what to give you. Remember; the more serious suggestions you have, the bigger the chances are to win. If you only apply one suggestion, you have a good chance as well. There can be a person suggesting 14 different things. That person have as big chance as you because I'm looking for the best - not the one with the most serious suggestions. But remember; if you got a lot of good suggestions, tell me and you might win a secret!

In the comment, this is what it's gonna have to look like:




So come on and suggest in the comments, and I'll see you later!!!

Hi guys!

It's been a short day today. I got up early today, and the next thing I know, I didn't feel well. I felt horribly sick after a couple of hours after I woke up. So most of the day have gone to the sofa. Luckily, I'm feeling better. I'm gonna try eating some ice cream and relax a little. I hope I'm OK till tomorrow.

So at the time I actually were awake, I watched internet lessons. You might think that I watched "how to" clips. It's sorta true. Believe it or not, I've been watching lessons for American accents. Yes, I have. Why have I done that, you think? Well, I am gonna do video blogs soon. That's why I think an American accent would be great. In addition, I've always wanted to improve my English accent and having the dream of moving to America. I just feel terrific when I think about the thought of moving to the United States of America. That's why I'm enthusiastic about getting an American accent.

Even though I'm gonna overdo myself with an example, it's how I see myself. I compare myself to the Norwegian rally driver Petter Solberg. Now, I know I ain't as bad as that. Still, I look at myself that way. That's horrible. It makes me feel so horrible at speaking English. No offence to Mr. Solberg, but he knows that his English need improvements. I found out that my English pronunciation also needed improvements. There are several things I never thought I said wrong. For instance, the word "think". When I said that word, I said it like "fink". That's wrong, I realized. I'll keep watching these clips until there are improvements.

You know, I'm always interested in learning new and random things. So I just search "how to" on YouTube, and just pick a movie to learn something. I search about everything from how to whistle with the fingers to charge a phone with a banana. Now, I want you to tell me if you think there is something special I should learn. It can be anything. If you give me serious suggestions, I'll try it and tell about the experience. So if you got something, you better tell me. I always feel like learning new, random, crazy or/and fun things. Who knows, I might get to use what I learned someday... for some reason.

So that's my day, so stay tuned for tomorrow : )

I'll see you later!

Hi guys!

The week just started again, and I gotta say that staying up all night in the weekend isn't that smart. I had really big issues of sleeping the night to Monday. I also watched American football very late at night, so that might explain why I felt a little tired today. Unfortunately, Arizona Cardinals lost against the St. Louis Rams. Well, it happens. I will love Arizona Cardinals anyway. Who wants to give up a team they believe in? Maybe you don't like Arizona Cardinals, but I'm not even American and Arizona is the only team I've admire. So don't judge me if this is completely wrong.

Why do I love American football? Why doesn't I like soccer more than American football? After all, soccer is way more popular in Norway. The answer I guess is that I don't feel the same enthusiasm and entertainment like I do when watching American football. People I know always talks about how great their favorite soccer team played last night, and the discussion about last nights game never ends. I've been listening to people yapping about a soccer team for an hour. That's how I lost the interest in soccer; the enthusiasm is there. You can't have an interest without the enthusiasm! I bet you can't survive one single day learning aerobics without having the enthusiasm to do so. Why am I using aerobics as an example? I'm not saying that there is something wrong with aerobics, but I have no clue why I chose aerobics for an example. The point is that every certain interests and hobbies need enthusiasm.

Hey, guess what! I ordered the vest, I'm gonna use for the prom, today. Hurray! I really think that it looks kinda nice. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is what I'm talking about. Although, there is a catch. There's always a catch. I need the vest by December 17th, and I'm ordering it from the U.K. So that means that I have to get the vest from the U.K and it has to be in Norway, before December 17th so I can try it on. Such a stress, and such a risk to take. Why I'm saying this must be that I am excited about the prom this year. Some guys I know are putting the entire package together, and they promised that it would rock. Literary, because I'm gonna play at the prom with my band (hopefully). It would just be incredibly awesome if my band wanted to play at the prom.

I gotta go, but thank you for staying tuned with todays blog.

I'll see you later!

Hi guys!

The day today have been just awesome. Despite the little test we had today, everything went just fine. First of all; me and my band were asked to play at the prom. Oh yeah! I just hope we can accept it. The other peoples in the band got to accept it to. So I shouldn't get overexcited, but it's great to be asked. I've actually thought about wearing a white smoking. Anyway I've been playing Need for Speed Most Wanted with a couple of friends drinking the best soda at Christmas time. The name is pretty creative, or not. But still it's incredibly good. It's called "The Christmas-soda". Creative, huh?

OMG it's almost weekend! This weekend I'm gonna celebrate my mothers birthday. I'm really looking forward to it. My brother is coming home, we're gonna gather together and just enjoy the weekend. It's gonna be great. If I get some time without doing anything, I'm gonna watch some real American football! I think I'm gonna watch San Jose State vs. Idaho. Shay Carl is going to that match, so I want to see the match myself. Maybe have my eyes at the same person that Shay Carl does at the same time. Yes, I do think like that sometimes. The match starts at 11 pm (+1 CET) and ends at 02..30 AM (+1 CET), in case you want to watch it.

I got to know what the next week contained. I was really afraid that I had to do a lot of things that stresses me. But the big surprise was that tomorrow and the next week doesn't contain any type of stress at all! I'm able to relax, take it easy and enjoy this week. Are you stressing a lot these days? I hate the stress that hits me every single week. But this week and the next week, there are none. NONE AT ALL! Hurray!

I got nothing else today. But I hope you enjoyed todays blog. I'll see you later : )
