Masks

Do we wear masks to hide or reveal our true selves?
Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask.

My Great 2011 Recap

2011 has been a pretty, pretty, pretty good year for me.

My trip to Thailand, which taught me a lot about living by myself, trying to survive, experiencing a new culture, people and learning a new language.
It developed my spiritually and mentally, opened my mind and senses, made me stronger.
Can’t wait to go back…

Coming back from Thailand, I’ve been doing LOADS of tv and film work, a wide variety of small and bigger performances but overall very fun.

Alongside such creative jobs, I’ve also worked extensively with other, proper jobs such as fish salesman ( again) elementary school substitute and assistant, and more recently my current job as a waiter at a Japanese food restaurant at a food court.
- I really do enjoy this job because of the good tempo which keeps the mind focused and never gets boring, interesting people interaction,
having fun with my great colleagues, but most of all I finally have my own good income ( on top of that I take out decent tips everyday to keep me afloat )   !

Met plenty of new people, both friends and romantic acquaintances.

So basically, things have looked and still are looking ahead, pretty, pretty good for me.
I’m also continuing studying Japanese ( which I have been for the past 2 months) this coming spring.

My new year resolution is to simply make 2012 even BETTER than 2011. 
- keep working and having a good income
- get back to Thailand
- keep studying
- start training kung fu at a club again
- do more creative things
- maybe find a girlfriend ( ? )

May the force be with you!

I Have Daddy Issues !

Merry Belated Christmas, everyone!
Hope yours was better than mine, but don’t get me wrong. . . it wasn’t all that horribly awful.

For the past years, Christmas day has been all but ruined because of my parents falling out with eachother.
My father is the main culprit.
As much as I love my father, I take great issue with his general lack of commitment ( OMG I have daddy issues) when it comes to family activities, namely Christmas; which is the only time each year that we actually get together like a proper family.

Let me explain…

First, he never takes the time to give thoughtful gifts, never asks what anyone wants… So he always ends up giving money or in worst case, a freaking scratch ticket…
-This year was a new low though, he gave me a box of dried mushrooms ( no, not magic mushrooms) and he gave my mom 2 packs of instant noodles… wtf dad…

Second, he always falls asleep… After dinner or after all the gifts are opened, he just goes and sleeps.
And it’s not like he’s annoying, snoring or anything like that; it’s just disappointing because the message he’s basically sending out is ‘not giving a fuck‘ .

Lastly, he drives my mom up the wall.
They argue about dad always being late( that’s another thing) , dinner plans, gifts and his general retardation.
And when my mom is upset, everyone gets upset, it spreads like a virus.
Because my mom, whom I am very greatful for and love very much, is the one who makes the most effort for christmas, or anything for that matter, but in the end it just feels like it’s for nothing.

As a good son I always try to keep the mood up and help out as much as I can, because I really do enjoy this one and only family occasion, but somehow I cannot help feel like my dad shouldn’t celebrate with us in the years to come, because it just doesn’t work out.
Unless he reads this and realizes, because talking to him sure doesn’t seem to help.
Please just TRY A LITTLE HARDER.

- Oh and for the record, I really hope my half “brother” stops celebrating Christmas with us too.
He is a hyperactive, spoilt, ungrateful and unwanted little shit, who makes life harder for the rest of us. 

In the end tho, as I said earlier; Christmas day wasn’t all that awful .
I got ( and gave) some pretty nice gifts and dinner was splendid

Dinosaurs

Did you know you can study Dinosaurs at Stockholm University ?

I’d totally study Dinosaurs, just imagine you’re on a date:

Me: So, what do you do?

Girl: I’m a biomedical engineer and law student, how about you?

Me: I am… a certified Dino expert

Girl: Really? :O

Me: Yeah, ask me ANYTHING about Dinosaurs !

Girl: Okay, what can you tell me about Coprolites?

Me: Not that question, ask me something else… No don’t ask me that either…No, another question…another one …another…ask me about anything from Jurassic Park…ask me about the Triceratops.

Girl: Okay… Tell me about the Triceratops ?

Me: AH YES…The Triceratops… incredible creature. 4 legs…herbivore… also known as… Big Horny One…

Now, the science is ofcourse called Paleontology, the study of prehistoric life, so you’d really be a Paleontologist.
But it doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as :
- Dino Expert or Master of Dinosaurs
- Dino Lord
- All Knowing Dino Megamind
- Super Sexy Dinogasmer

Ice Skating

I went ice skating with my friends yesterday in town.
I haven’t owned a pair of skates for Buddha knows how many years…So today I decided to change that.
Before I met my friends I went by the thrift shop and what do you know?
- Good fresh ice skates, only 100 kr ! ( That’s about 14 $ , 9 £ and for my readers in Turkmenistan ; 43 TMT )

Funny, the majority of people iceskating at the rink in town; are Asian.
-Me and my friends make up about 35% of them.  

A bit ironic, but the absolute best skaters are the Thai ! They skate like pros .
I guess it’s because in Bangkok, in the Central World shopping mall, there’s an ice rink like 376 days a year…
-The absolute poorest skaters and surprisingly the Russians ! But I’m sure they’re good at like … beach volley or something.

I don’t get what’s so thrilling for people who really suck at skating?
How can trying to walk looking like you’ve shit your pants and falling over like a drunk be so much better than just… regular walking?
They really want to look like shit !
-I suppose that is alright though, looking like a pathetic shit trying to accomplish something, rather than just being a regular pathetic shit.
The only time , when we’re not drunk that we allow ourselves to like this

Test Products

I bought some dermatological products from ‘The Body Shop‘ the other day and whenever you go shopping for these things; there’s always test products, which I find to be very strange.

Take hand lotions for example, how do you test them? 
Not the way you’d normally use hand lotions, which is on your hands. No, you rub it on your arm.
The same with make up, which is intended for the face, but does it go there?
-No, it goes on your arm, or that meaty part on the back of your hand between the thumb and index finger.

How do you test lipstick? Like this?

Hairspray your pubes…What?

It’s like when you go shopping for new floors. You never test them the way they were intended, which is walking on them on the floor.
-No, floor samples are always displayed on WALLS, and you have to touch them with your hands.

If I was looking for new floors, I’d be sticking my feet up on the wall-hung floor samples and feeling them around with my toes, unless people are actually shopping for floors for which they can practice elaborate handstands and other extremely hand related activities…but I doubt. 
-In that case , shouldn’t wall papers and tiles be displayed… on the floor? !

Back to the subject !

At ‘The Body Shop‘ my friend showed me an exfoliating face gel, which is only to be used twice a week.
-I thought, there can’t be a tester for this, surely you can’t have people exfoliating their faces in the shop?
But oh yes there is.

I wonder if people don’t actually come in twice a week, just to use that tester so they can get their face exfoliated for free !

They even have testers for showergels, how the hell does that work?
-Is there a shower in the backroom which people can use?
I bet there’s a bunch of cheap freeloaders coming in every morning to “test” shower gels , face cleansers, shampoos, make up and hair styling products.

Bottom line is, you don’t really ever have to buy a proper grooming product ever again.
Just stop by a ‘Body Shop’ every morning and use all their testers.

Rape Crime Punishment in Sweden

It is a fact that Sweden must have THE worst justice system regarding rape crime.

Each day the same news:
- Pedophile cleared of charges, gang rapists get 30 days paying fines, incestial father freed and receives single support of child,
raped toddler was consensual and rapist gets 95 days in minimum security prison and a ” shame on you “ .

Such punishments are not freaking deterrents of rape crime, if I were a rapist here I’d go head on knowing I could get away easily.
-Sweden needs to take after the USA or something, where you get life time in prison or AT LEAST your dick and balls cut clean off.

What the hell is wrong with this CUNTry?

I read recently in the paper how a young woman was raped and shortly after the rapist was caught.
But once in court, the punishment was reduced or even completely acquitted because the rape was only around 30 seconds based on the victims account.
THE ASSAULT WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO BE CONSIDERED PROPER RAPE !

Did the court even know that maybe it wasn’t 30 seconds of just fiddling around, maybe grabbing a little and trying to unbutton her jeans, sure we’ve all been there, it takes about that long to get your girl’s clothes off.
-But did they consider that maybe it was 30 seconds of raw, pounding butt rape ? 
30 seconds aint much to you and me, but for the person on the receiving end, it’s a lifetime and most importantly…..IT’S RAPE either which way.

OR maybe the rapist was a premature ejaculator?
-Maybe 30 seconds was all he needed !

Court: The court finds the rapist….not guilty ! On counts of being a premature ejaculator !

Rapist: I can’t help it !

Court: Don’t worry, but you go practise and when you hit around the 70-90 second mark, go rape again and we’ll see.
You have to CLINCH the pc muscle ! Clinch!

Rapist: Geez mister, I’m gonna practise everyday !

Court: Now now, run along….oh and don’t forget ! Don’t rape too hard, take care of yourself.

Rapist: haha, you got it. Bye !

Court: Bubye… Ah, kids today…

Then there’s the news story from a little while back, about a kid who was raped by his own father back in 2002.
But only because it took the kid 10 years to tell anyone, the courts decided not to punish the father, at all.
-Yeah maybe the kid was cool with the rape, I mean when kids are young they need to have a close relationship with their father even if it does mean taking one up the ass.
Incestial rape isn’t really a ‘water cooler conversation topic’ .

Then there’s the story from just the other day, when a pregnant woman was gang raped by 8 men. 
The courts are still having trouble how to punish the men, seeing as it is very unusual for there being so many assailants at one time.
-Yeah I know the feeling, when a big party wants to split the bill at a restaurant, what to do, what to do…
A sexual deviance expert assigned to the case further commented that alcohol and drug abuse can have been reason for the woman’s lack of self control.
- OR, because she was fucking simultaneously held down and raped by 8 MEN , individually twice her size and weight…

Seriously, sometimes I don’t know. 
-I get angry because I have people close to me who have been hurt with little to no justice.

If the legal system isn’t fixed soon, I’m gonna freaking get myself a Ninja outfit and go vigilante at night; scouting, protecting and saving innocent girls from rape.

Saving chicks, getting bitches. That is how I roll.
