Life of Bjoernar

Yeah well, hi guys.

Hey you all!

How are you doing? The sun is shining incredibly much today as well, so the vacation couldn’t start better. I’m a little concern about the temperature outside today if I’m going outside. Last night was cold; really cold. I was freezing at the living room and in my bedroom in the basement, so it wasn’t comfy. I don’t think the temperature has gone up, but I don’t know if I wanna go outside if it’s that cold. Oh... it’s -18ºC (-0.39ºF). That’s too cold to be outside. It’s in the middle of the morning, and it’s that cold. I’m not going outside. I don’t wrap myself into much clothing when I’m going outside, so there is no way that I’m going outside. Too bad, actually. The weather is so beautiful.

My brother (and maybe his girlfriend... hopefully) is coming to town I hope the upcoming week. I just hope they’re coming. I don’t what it is about having my brother and his girlfriend at my moms house. It’s so great. We watched Wall-E at my bedroom once, and I miss it. I don’t know what it is, but I’m looking forward to see them every time it’s considered. If they’re coming tomorrow, we’re probably going to bowl at Sweden with my mom. That’s fun. I don’t see them both so much, therefore it’s very nice to spend some time together.

Guys; DON’T EAT FROZEN DONUTS! When you’ve bought something you need to save for later, you put it in a freezer. That’s cool, you know, you need some food for later. But for the love of God, don’t freeze donuts. The donuts are tasteless when you decide to «unfreeze» it (there you go: that’s how good my English is). There might be a little bit of taste in it, but it’s nothing compared to when you bought it. So eat it or leave it - don’t freeze it. That’s a disaster move.

I was just thinking about the moving to USA, and I kinda wonder where I wanna move. I’ve been thinking about New York, Los Angeles and Phoenix. I’m not sure. I know I can afford it, but I just don’t know where I wanna live. I’m trying to make a «pros and cons» list, but it’s still hard to decide. New York might be a good place to search for jobs, and Los Angeles is hot and glamourous. I gotta choose between lifestyles, and that isn’t the easiest thing to do.

 
You wanna see something cool?  This clip is just hilarious! :D

Anyway, that’s it for today. I hope you enjoyed yourself... don’t take that the wrong way. :D
 

Hey!

This day didn’t last long. I’ve been helping and cleaning the entire day. I know you’re not suppose to clean up on a Sunday, but I did anyway. But that’s not everything I did today - I tried to video blog. This is the first time I made a long video blog. Even though it didn’t succeed, it’s a step closer to great vlogging material. There is still things that needs to be improved like the accent and camera position. I wasn’t that happy about the accent on the clip I recorded. When I talked in normal speed, my accent turned into a Norwegian-English accent. When I talked slower, my accent became americanized. That’s apparently something I gotta improve. When I was vlogging, the camera taped me like my hands were straight down. I need to have the camera right in front of me. That’s something I gotta practice. I’m not happy about my appearence either, so that’s something I wanna work on. So as you can see, there is a lot of things that needs to be put together before being able to upload a video blog on the internet (YouTube).

Without practice, you fail!

That’s where I believe most of the failures comes. People don’t realize the mistakes they’re making. I’m pretty careful about how the footage is, so it’s maybe just me being a bit paranoid. Still, the point is that people need to make sure everything’s alright before doing something that fails. For instance, if a band wanna become famous after playing together for a week. It’s gonna fail, believe me. What the band probably in this case are missing is talent. Without talent, they’re without consideration. No one’s gonna sit down and wait till this band gets great. Another thing is that they don’t see the fact that they need to improve their skills as a band, before trying to get famous. This is common for everyone who wants to share some skills with others. No one’s gonna find a video blog interesting if it’s five minutes of: «Uhm»,  «so», «well», «you know» +++. You need to provide what you wanna say in a way that’s interesting and understandable. That’s why I need more practice. The information I’m gonna share with you, needs to be clear. If not, then I’m not gonna upload anything. When a new talent is gonna be shared, you should at least try to compare yourself with someone else. If you’re far from the one you’re comparing yourself to - forget it. Don’t even bother. You see where I’m going?

I’m looking at the map of the United States of America. I’m falling completely in love with it. The names of all the states... OMG. I don’t care where I’m at when I’m in America. If I get my feet on US soil, I’ll be incredible happy. I just wanna move there now! I’m already saving some cash for my first trip to USA. Give me tips: where should I go? New York? Los Angeles? Phoenix? Las Vegas?! Tell me. I know you’re quiet, but come on! I’ve been to Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. Is there some other places I should go? TELL ME!!!

Two cups of coffee - still tired. What’s going on?! :O

I’m out of here, catch you later!
 

Hi guys!

It's finally weekend again, and it's time to relax. Or isn't? Weekends is the days you have one or two days off from work or school, but does that mean that you don't need to worry about school or work? Unfortunately, it doesn't. Some jobs and some schools gives you a task you need to work on in the weekend. If you don't do it in the weekend, you might risk your job or get a F on an assignment at school. Therefore you know that your task has to be done/developed by the weekend. The reason we get those task I think is because you do have a job to do. If you want to keep your job, you do the task. If you want good grades after school, you do the task. Sometimes you got to sacrifice a weekend for a task.

No one says you have to do it in the weekend, but do not blame your boss or your teacher for giving a task right before a weekend. The only thing they care about is that it gets done, and gets done in time. That's their job. If they didn't care, then they probably wouldn't kept the job they have. If they aren't heartless, they'll understand the fact that you want the weekend taking time to relax. Still, it's their duty to give you these tasks if necessary. You can have the nicest boss/teacher in the world, but it's still has to do the duty of giving you the tasks necessary.

If the timing of the task isn't good, you just have to live with that. It's up to you how much you care about your future. We've seen examples of people not caring about doing the tasks they get, if not for having to do it in the weekend. They've lost their jobs. They've gotten a bad grade, or maybe failed completely at school. If this is what you want, then don't do the task(s) you're suppose to do. If you DON'T want to lose your job, good grades or what you need to fulfill your dream, do your task(s)!

Let's look at this from a different angle. You want to become a lawyer. You've done great at school when the tasks don't has to be done between the weekend. When you suddenly gets a task you have to do in the weekend to succeed, do you do it? Do you sacrifice one single weekend for your great carrier or do you take the weekend as if it's the days you have to relax? You get the task on Friday, and it has to be done by Tuesday. Do you wait until Monday and not having a full task to return, or do you take the weekend (or a big part of the weekend) to do it? If you wanted to be a lawyer, you would do it in the weekend. If the job as a lawyer only is a dream, then you would wait until Monday.

It's all about how much you care for your ambitions. The reason I'm talking about this, is because I'm/have been into this kind of tasks. I have a big dream of becoming a man with a great job and living in the United States of America. If I'm gonna make that dream come true, I have to do those tasks that requires the weekend to do it. It's not motivating to do it in the weekend, but what has to be done just has to be done. That's the only way to accomplish your dreams if the weekend needs to be sacrificed to make it come true.

Your friends might be assaulted for believing that you consider job/school over them. The truth is that you can be a good person and/or have a great life without being the number one. You can fail at a task, and it still means that you can have a great life. You don't need the job you want to feel or have the great life you want. The only reason I brought this up is because you should try to follow your ambitions. I did not say that you should do the task just to get a good life. That would be lying. You should do the task to fulfill you ambitions. That's what it is about. I have some huge ambitions, but I know that if I don't fulfill my ambitions I'm still gonna have a great life. Your happiness isn't to the right of this text.

Conclusion: Happiness isn't in cash, it's in your friends and family. Ambitions might be in cash, but ambitions doesn't has to be a part of happiness. It shouldn't either.

I hope you enjoyed today's blog. I didn't get to write a blog last night, therefore I made a better blog today than yesterdays blog would have been. Stay tuned for more!

I'll see you later!
 

Hi guys!

What's up with you? I'm feeling extremely happy today. I don't know why, but I do. Today has been very relaxing. There's been a minimum of stress and a good day to be happy at. I can't stop thinking about my Macbook Pro which is on the way to my arms. I'm so excited! I feel very positive about working hard these last 6 mounts I got left here. I'm getting assignments I feel good about and just know that I got the strength to work hard. I see other people being annoyed by everything today, while I'm just having a good time. Too bad that they can't be happy. Someone's always annoyed. But I don't get influenced by others anger, depression +++. I'm happy, don't deny it! :-D

There was a dog running by our house for a while ago. I was checking if someone were going for a walk with it, but it was the dog all alone. I tried to whistle after him, but he didn't come back. I wonder who owns him. There aren't a lot of people living in this town, so I would probably know the owner if I only knew who it was.

OMG I love Katy Perry. Suddenly I like here music. It's weird. The first time I heard her, I didn't like her. My mind change after I heard "Firework", "Teenage Dream" and "If We Ever Meet Again". I guess I'm changing some more. Anyway, she's awesome. I used to be all about metal and such thing, but now I'm actually into Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, David Guetta, Rihanna and more. That's a good thing. I can't live with metal, and only metal. Therefore it's good that I listen to other genres and fall in love with them as well. So as you know, Katy Perry is the greatest for now.

I seriously want to move to the United States now. I think I'm gonna try living there for a year or two maybe, and see if it's something for me. I can't move without trying to live there first, can I? I don't know where in the US I should move in that case. I was thinking about Phoenix, Los Angeles or New York. I like the city (also some nature environment depending on what kind of nature environment), therefore it's natural to live in a city. If some of you got some ideas of great places to live in the US, tell me. I wanna know so I can consider it. Why US, you might ask. The reasons for wanting to move to the US most be because of the opportunities the USA has, the large range of items (like we don't have in Norway) and because the way the wealthy Americans live. It's hard to express all of the reasons, but moving to the US feels right (and tempting).

If I move, I know at least that my life in Norway has been wonderful. I'm not moving yet, so I can't say this too soon. But I know that I got friends standing up for me when I need it. I always has someone to turn to if I need it. Despite that I haven't been the nicest, coolest and greatest human on earth, I always have someone to turn to. That means a lot. When I wonder about something, someone always answers. When I need comfort, someone always gives me that. I know the greatest people in the world. Not because they're Nelson Mandela or something, but because they are there for me. If and when I move to the US, I know that I've left a place where people care about me. And that I can return with the smiles I got before I went. I've felt sorrow, disappointment, anger and stress. But what I've also felt is happiness. That's what left in my mind. Everybody goes through all these difficult things, but your happiness will be in your mind forever. I love the people that care about me. Thank you. You mean the world to me.

When I was younger I thought I had no one to turn to if I needed it. I thought no one cared about me, and that I was just a background. I was wrong. Very wrong. I guess I didn't take time to think. I got a lot of people to turn to. So do you if you feel the same way as I did. Just think about who you talk to every day. Who do you smile to? Who do you admire? These persons is there for you. It might just be a song that makes you happy. It saves your day, and it counts as someone who is there for you. But you don't care about this "friendship" type of talk I do, so I'm gonna stop.

You know, tell me what you want on the blog...

I'm done for today, I gotta get up early getting out of town.

I'll see you later!

Hi guys!

So today I've been doing the exact same thing as yesterday, except that I've been working out with my brother. OMG I feel so pumped! My brother is like the best training coach I can get. He is after all my brother. Check out his training blog here. It's a great blog; I love it. I think you might get some really good tips for bodybuilding if that interest you. If you don't give a crap, then visit the site anyway. You're my special reader if you click it. Don't waste this chance; click it! Anyway, I had a great time working out and it felt good to get back on track. Even if I hadn't got a lot out of the workout, it means a lot just to spend some time with him. It's Christmas, the time of the year when family and friends means the most.

Tomorrow's Christmas eve; the day where we eat and unwrap gifts. I know you do it on Christmas day (25th in America), but luckily it's a part of our tradition. Santa gets to Norway earlier than in America. Haha! We don't like to change our tradition, do we? It often fails when we try to give a shit about Christmas tradition, so we keep it the way we do. We don't open gifts at December 25th. That would be so wrong. Although, if and when I move to the US, I will follow those traditions if I'm celebrating Christmas there. Therefore traditions is also based on where you are. Other families and other countries has different traditions they like to follow. They gotta keep it that way, otherwise it's all pointless. You can say: "Oh, can't we just give a crap about traditions for a while?". Later you'll realize that it was a stupid idea. Some things works out fine when skipping traditions. But some things just have to be the way it is. Like your Christmas tradition. I'm not gonna tell you how to celebrate your Christmas. It's your tradition, and you should live with it. If this is the place for getting new/get out of traditions, then I'm not writing. Keep your tradition. That's where your happiness comes from, believe me.

I won't be writing on Christmas eve, therefore I'm wishing you a merry Christmas. You guys have been great. Despite your silence, you've been a great audience. You've come back to read the blog several times (I can see in the stats), and you guys seem interested in what I write. Let's hope your silence disappears soon so I can hear you to. I'm changing the settings on the comments, so everyone can leave a comment. Please do, it would mean the world to me if you left a comment. Just say hi or something. Anyway, I love you and Merry Christmas!

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!
