Childish happiness

Been a couple of really really weird weeks with too much thinking and too little writing.
And now I just found the purrfect way to end this crazy week!!
My brother had an LP with a secret band called Caramba when I was a kid, I danced like crazy to every song on it. Just found the super hit on it again :)

Ignore the video, turn up the volume, get up of you chair and just dance for a while...

It's splendid! And it so sums up life right now!

Speaking my thoughts

Just looked into the lyrics behind the hype of the talented little artist called Katy Perry. She is actually quite brilliant! And the videos are excellently made and it's just... quite cool.

Happy surprises on a Monday

This day hasn't been overwhelmingly good so far but I've decided this is the week of determination! It's gonna be... great! Well, whatever, I'll make sure to get a lot of stuff done anyways.

Just got really good news though. Our Christian daily just published the news that Sweden's coolest and probably wisest blogger for the moment, Marcus Birro, is coming to the Frizon festival this summer. Yes!!!! Congrats, friends, on a great booking. And on the great timing of releasing the news!

Apart from that... I'm sitting in the office listening to my friend H's spotifly playlists, saying some extra prayers for him as he leaves the country for a while. Gah, all the people leaving this town right now...

Older and wiser?

Sometimes I just love to be older than I was. Especially when it comes to being able to make those phone calls that I know will change the day for the one I'm calling. I can still remember being about twenty or so and someone called me about an acting job or photo shoot or some fun event job. It just totally changes my day and made me feel good about myself for a bit. When life becomes more and more business you kind of lose that feeling a little, people call you to ask you to do a job, and that's kind of what you are always doing.

And now, every once in a while, I get to be that person who surprises someone else who is just starting up a work life with fun, unexpected little jobs.

I like that.

Is God in need of Sweden?

If you know the little language called Swedish, read this link!!!

A new study says that Sweden is the second most secular country in the world. I wonder... In a country that says we never ever need anything but ourselves... In a country that is trusting the system more than our neighbors... and where we even so feel cheated on by that system all the time... In our little country called Sweden.

I wonder. Well... just... if we feel no need for God.... what do we feel a need for?

Leave the winter on the ground

Om jag kommer bli sårad
Om jag kommer bli ditt sår
Om vi kommer att förblöda
Av alla sår vi får

I have a weary day. Can't really figure out why. Me and H went to see our brilliant friend Jenny star in the musical Spring Awakening yesterday. It was really cool. Every teenage related subject played out in two and a half hours with great music and very good acting. Realized again that I need to start seeing more plays again, I miss that. And I was extremely proud to see a new friend I really care about in the starring role.

Yet again, as always, the best part of any day is usually spending time in a car with a very close friend. There is something about that, you just have better conversations while driving. Yesterday being no exception.

And it just got me thinking. The musical, the car drive, the hours in the car outside my house trying to figure life out. I'm tired. Weary of the game. Done. Miss being twenty when I knew it all. I had it all figured out. I really did. I knew how the story would end and I was so sure about it.
Had a great lunch with my mentor the other day and she told me that she knew instantly the first time she met her husband at a very young age that she was done looking. And that's the way her life did turn out. I meet people every once in a while who talk about work that same way. They knew when they were twelve what they wanted and they've never backed down from that. I still have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.

Hey, nine days out of ten I enjoy the ride. I like not knowing, I like being where I am. I enjoy thinking about whatever lies ahead.

But today. Thinking back. Just weeks or eleven whole years. Remembering what it was like knowing. Missing the object of all my certainty. Wondering about what's special and magical and what's just practical. Wondering where the mystery went.
It just... wore me out a bit. Will be back on track soon.
