Life of Bjoernar

Hi everyone!

As you could see on yesterdays blog, it’s kinda stressful these days. I got a lot to do these last 5-6 weeks before the easter. I hope it’s gonna be possible to get a little calmer this weekend and at my birthday. Yes, my birthday is at the upcoming Tuesday.

So today I’m obviously gonna dance some old Norwegian folk-dance kinda thing. I don’t know what my reactions are about that. I’m not exactly looking forward to do it, but at the same time: how bad can it be? It’s just a session of 40-45 minutes. I can survive 45 minutes of folk dancing. I don’t have any huge fears of dancing anyway, so it’s fine. It’s like any other work I do. I gotta do it even if I don’t like it. Dancing this folk-dance is just like another task at work. I don’t look at this session like it’s the end of the world. I think I’m gonna be just fine. :-) Well, I’m writing this in the morning, so I guess I’ll be updating some more when I’m coming home again.

This day has been pretty good, actually. The folk-dancing didn’t go that bad, but there is a lot of work to be done. I can’t blog too much today. I gotta get done with my tasks really, really fast.

I gotta new quote: stress for less :)

Meaning: I’m out off here :D

Hey!

Another lazy day at home. Well, lazy might not be the right work. You see, I’m a workaholic. I feel the pressure of having to work all the time. Lol. Anyway, I gotta work a lot if I’m gonna accomplish my dreams. Otherwise, all of this would be nothing but a waste of time.

You know, that’s the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m watching «Skavlan» right now. It’s a Norwegian/Swedish talk show. It’s pretty great, but this time I’m confused. There is, obviously, a german woman being interviewed by Skavlan. The strange part is that Skavlan asks in English, and she replies in German. I’m incredibly confused. I feel sorry for the audience sitting in the same studio as Skavlan. They probably don’t understand German. It gotta feel like a waste of money to buy tickets to a show you don’t understand anything from.

The woman understands what Skavlan is asking, and he’s understanding what she’s saying apparently. Why can’t they do the whole interview on English? Those who’s watching it from the TV knows what she says, because it’s subtitled. The audience, probably, don’t have the interview subtitled on a screen. For them it’s «live», so it gotta be hard to subtitle an interview during the interview. The audience in the studio don’t have the interview subtitled - no way. TV viewers doesn’t see it live, so it doesn’t matter for us. I just feel sorry for the audience in the studio. It seems important what she’s saying, and I think it’s unfortunate for the audience, who don’t understand a word of what she’s saying.

Besides that, Skavlan is a great show. I love it. Well, I don’t like it when he’s mixing Norwegian and Swedish at the same time, but the show’s great anyway. I don’t watch it a lot, but when I watch it I’m loving it.

You might wonder why I’m not watching Skavlan every time it’s on the air. I’ll tell you why: I watch Bones and/or How I Met Your Mother. Of course I’ll watch American shows over Norwegian. The American shows are better. If we’re comparing shows like «Saturday Night Live» and «Torsdag Kveld fra Nydalen», which is a «copy» of Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Live would win. I don’t always find the humor in «Torsdag Kveld fra Nydalen». They almost have the same sequences over and over again, and the fact that their copying «Saturday Night Live» a little bit annoys me. Other people loves it a lot, so I guess someone finds it funny. I find American comedy, series and shows much more funny and entertaining.

Haha, when I saw a clip from a F1 race right now, the cars looked like Track-mania. Hahaha!

OMG. There is a guy I know who’s liking 12 different «I love Barcelona» likes. I think people kinda get the point: you love Barcelona. I have nothing against it, pretty opposite actually. I think it’s hilarious. :-D

I’m looking for a new camera guys, and I think I need your help. The camera I bought, Toshiba Camileo H30, doesn’t have the greatest quality ever. So, I kinda need some help to find a camera that works great, has good quality (both video and audio). I’m thinking of a large camera, like the one on the picture. I’m not sure how much I’m gonna spend on a new camera, but if you make suggestions I’ll definitely consider it. I’m probably gonna sell some stuff to get there, so money might not be the problem... unless it costs something like $10.000 (60.000 NOK). Let’s stay between $1.000 and $2.700 (6.000 NOK to 15.000 NOK). A little bit more or a little less doesn’t hurt, unless it’s not a very large amount of money. I might be able to spend more than that, but right now I don’t think I go over that amount. I gotta priorate what I need money for later, so I’m not sure how much to spend yet. Give me tips anyway!

CYA!

Hey guys.

I’m so sorry the blog hasn’t been updated in days. I’ve had this film project, so a lot of my time has gone away there. Anyway, I’m here so I hope you wanna read.

I’ve been thinking a lot. I really should start the video blog. It’s so much easier. It’s just to record and put it online. I don’t have to advance it a lot either. I think I should get the video blogging up-going fast. There are so many more great things about a video blog than a text blog. It records the action while happening, instead of telling it afterwards. Also, it’s easier to talk than writing long blogs that people are satisfied with. I honestly like to talk, so video blogging might be easier.

I wish I could see the Norwegian Music Awards today. There are a lot of good musician in Norway, like Madcon, so I really wanted to watch it. The reason why I’m not watching it is because there is a movie on TV. I really want Madcon to win a price this year too. Madcon is one of the greatest musicians in Norway. They should win on of the prices because their music is inspiring, great and they share this great energy.

The World Championship on skies in Oslo is done tomorrow. What do you think about this year’s World Championship? Yes, you might think Petter Northug is a pig. Yes, you might look at Norwegian victories like it’s annoying. Whatever you think about the World Championship, I enjoyed it. Petter Northug isn’t a pig in my eyes, and the victories we’ve gotten is great. This championship is one of the only things that makes me say: «I’m Norwegian».

There isn’t a lot that makes me proud of being a Norwegian. Sometimes I’m embarrassed of being a Norwegian when I see them behaving like they are. I see Norwegians behaving like they own the world when being international. It’s embarrassing.

I gotta take it easy on the blogging, I think. It’s not easy to not blog for three days and then try to write as much as before. So I hope you’re satisfied. ;-)
 

Hey you guys!

Ah, finally it’s weekend. I’ve been looking forward to the weekend a lot. I just don’t say it, because you all do. Don’t tell me you don’t. Don’t even dare! Anyway, I’m at my moms and grandma, «step-father» and my brother is here. Hurray! I’m just gonna enjoy this great weekend before the presentation starts on Monday. But who cares about Monday, when it’s Friday night?! Let’s chill out!

I’m thinking about that video blog name. I’m considering «Nerd Preferred» or «Raids with Shades». I just don’t know which one, or if these names are good enough. I thought it might be good to say in the intro: «Hi. I’m Bjoernar, and this is Nerd Preferred!» You get me? I want something catchy, otherwise, no one will remember the name. If it’s gonna be «Raids with Shades», it would be like: «Hi. I’m Bjoernar. You and I Raids with Shades!» Ok, that’s kinda lame. Raids the Internet with Shades? W00T? Lol, I just made a horrible idea obviously. Maybe I should try making the logos first, then choice what name to choose. Damn, I’m smart. Lol.

I’m trying to check what kinds of premiers coming up this week, because I can’t make the premier today. There is a norwegian film having a premier today, but I can’t make it. Therefore, I need to find out if there’s going to be any other premiers this months. Otherwise, I’ll be sad. I haven’t been to a single premier this year. I don’t like it. This should have a Facebook dislike button. By the way, where is the dislike button on Facebook? Everybody wants it. What’s so hard about putting a dislike button beside the like button? Facebook would be revolutionary with a dislike button. Just make the Facebookers happy, once. We want the dislike button. Give us the dislike button, Mr. Zuckerberg!

I’ve been thinking a lot about moving to the USA. It seems like the interest of moving there just increase every day. I don’t like walking around talking Norwegian. Lol. That’s not the main reason why I wanna move to America, though. I just mention it. I literally have a better vocabulary in English than Norwegian. W00T? It’s true. I know more English words than Norwegian words. If there is a word in Norwegian I don’t know what is, I say it in English. The world’s messed up, man. :-D

Haha, Firefox owns IE for real.

I’ll probably blame the internet. Lol. Before the internet came, Norwegians probably were... Norwegians. Afterwards, the Norwegian language has turned into an English-Norwegian language. I honestly use a lot of English words when I know I can say them in Norwegian. Let’s blame the internet for being genius. Thank you!

Well, I gotta eat a lovely dinner with my family - ketchup with you... get it? :-D

Hi you guys!

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!

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!
