Summer...

MY cute computer - welcome back!

Ok now I've transfered photos from the harddisk to external harddrive, cleaned up in my music, backed it up, deleted evrything from iTunes, made my own advanced colorscheme for windows (based on the olive green standard options), edited language options, downloaded Chrome web browser....about that: I heard that it spies on you and keep track of everything you do...so maybe I shouldn't have...but I just couldn't resist the PINK web browser design!! Oh spy on me, see me naked if you want, after all it's PINK and incredible adorable!

I've also sorted my bookmarks, deleted old ones, alphabetized the rest, started importing my current music to iTunes, downloaded a new version of the antivirus program, cleaned up the hard drive, virus scanned it, updated different programmes and finally now I feel like I don't only have my old lap top back but it feels new and organized, ahhh nice feeling.

I'm truly a computer nerd. Electronics are so fun =)

So even if I'm tired and exhausted from cold (flu?) and allergy reaction (it was bad) I'm still resting AND being productive at the same time.

So except being bummed about missing dance classes I'm in a really good mood =)

About my blogging again

I have got my lap top back! Finally!! Now I have no excuse to not write, and that feels really good actually!

I want to write more about politics but... Right now the debate here in the US seems to be mostly about the health care system. It's an extremely important question but it's not really a serious debate about it. For those already involved in politics I'm sure there's forum for debates but through mass media is just silly and petty remarks without any relevancy what so ever. I don't want to be a part of that. There are no actual arguments I could contradict, or agree with.

Most politics are handled that way here in the US.

It becomes a circus where insults and shit-talk can take over and be main focus.

The presidential election was very much the same.

Head lines become more important than what the actual articles say. TV news talks down to people.

I should maybe be the one to actively search for forums but it's exhausting and tiring to fight your way through all the bullshit to get to the core so I often give up halfway. I become one of those ignorant people that the TV news has to talk down to in order for me to understand. It annoys me but makes me turn my focus other directions.

I want to use my art to influence politically. My way of expressing my opinions and spread already existing ones. To express values and ask questions.

And my art is very personal. So I'm going to let this blog be very personal without the need of being art, that way I can let my art be very artsy without the need of being too personal ha ha or something like that... ;)

But speaking of art, I'm definatly going to start posting about one post a day at Flyktsoda! If I can't come up with new stuff there's always old stuff I could post so shouldn't be a problem! :)

Matching

I have a weird habit. To accidently match. Mostly outfits. But
here's an example I just had to take a picture of when I realized:

I analyze myself and am thinking: maybe my personality give in to the spur of the moment, my temporary but intense feeling, very straight on. Without much thought.

Or the opposite. My mind likes to organize. Even when I'm unaware, my brain tries to simplify through sorting colors and patterns. When I'm thinking that I'm just grabbing the nearest thing my brain has already made a concious choice.

Yes I'm overtired and overanalyzing. But it's interesting sometimes, even the silly details. I like details. Obviously, hence this subject.

Health Care

It's such an awkard debate here in the US about health care. People are throwing insults around, like "socialism"....ooooooh scary.

First of all most republicans seem to think socialism and communism is the same thing. Actually most Americans seem to think that.
Dictionary.com explains socialism as "a theory or system of social
organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control
of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc.,
in the community as a whole."
And communism as "a system of social organization in which all
economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state
dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party."

I saw the daily show with Jon Stewart (comedy news show) where they brought up the made up "death panels". They made the point that of course the government shouldn't get to decide if someone would be allowed to live or die. Such a great decision should be where it is now: in the hands of corporate insurance companies.....

I think that says it all!

Was really gonna go for it. Train dance get things done. Yeah yeah...no.
Have had fever. Head-, throath- and stomach ache. Slept for a week soon.
Bored, disappointed and almost angry but it would be too exhausting so I'm just bitter.
Blach. =(

but since I emailed them in earlier they ended up being posted before my latest post.

Beach

Almost unwillingly I pick up the phone to write. I'm at the beach and electronics maybe should be banned ;) but at the same time it's awfully nice to lie on a beach after a swim, eat berries and write. Well the swimming isn't as much swimming as it is getting drenched: put one foot in the water and next second you're being pulled by a wave.

It's still very nice but the lifeguards keep on bringing everyone out of the water every now and then because they think the waves get too high.

I appreciate that they're concerned for our safety but the waves here doesn't seem to differ much from what i've experienced at other beaches.

Maybe the lifeguards are better here? Maybe they have less resources here? Or maybe the rip tides are bad here?

I'm at Long Beach.

Decided to try it out, take the train here. I have been here once before, last year, it wasn't as crowded here then. Next time I think I'll go to a beach where I can swim but now I'm going to enjoy this one, which I still truly do =)
