Today I have found out two things: 1. What hell will be like 2. Why God invented the Smartphone The answer is the same for the two and called: playlands (and I for one is sure that hell will be filled with three and four year old little girls and all they will do is…

It is not only at drive-through you’re getting f***ed
But then again, are you really getting f***ed if you know you are getting it, but the people doing it don’t have a clue that you know? That my friend is the question of the day…
Morons
I know that at least one previous colleague of mine knows what I’m talking about. But is it not so, that you, like me, once in a while, find yourself surrounded by a bunch of morons. And, you have to go to the bathroom, stand infront of the mirror and look yourself straight in the eyes and…
Finding the words
I thank my blogger friend Kenneth for putting words to a growing frustration in my world. It has become so clear to me, especially in the world of social media, that people are not able to read ANYTHING that doesn’t correspond to their own belives or order, without getting defensive. I feel like more and…
A good person
I know it might sound presumptuous. I am well aware that I have a recoccuring (not totally sound) hybris. But do you know, I really, truly do not give a s**t. During the last days I received some really nice feedback. Of who I am. Not what I do (because there I am not quite…
Normcore… really
I am really intrigued by the fact that there is a trend for people to look untrendy. That “these people” need a trend to do allow them to be average. But with the very important twist they are it consciously. I can’t be normcore since I am and always been unconsciously average when it comes to…
Music is good for the soul
For me, music is liberating, it goes diectly into my soul and I cry and laugh to it. It doesn’t matter what kind it is, as long as it makes you feel good, it is good. This song makes me feel good, makes me happy: Com’ on peeps, sing out loud and dance!
You live, you learn
Not in a million years I thought I have friends and aquintances with a weak intelligence. And I don’t. But apparently there are aquintances to these friends and acquaintances who have. Who fabricate new truths with parts of it and have the audacity to spread their version as the truth. Without any interest to check if…
Bullshit
I am not that stupid kind of gal. So pleeeeeeease if you can’t tell me the straight up truth, do not communicate with me at all. I really get a rash from BS AND I loose trust in You. Just so we are clear.
Today’s words
I’ll keep it short today. This is how I feel. Darn good song to. Once again, the heck with Jante
Compliment
It is so little that does it for me. Just a few, polite words from a stranger. Who not only like my way of writing (from reading this chronicle, only in Swedish I am afraid) but who also respected me and complimented me on my way of living (and this guy knew what he was…
To change or not
“It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.” ― Charles Darwin I read his quote on a restroom wall in Lisbon, Portugal once and since then it really stuck to me. In my strive for personal happiness I live by it (even if I, at times, am…
Insults
I get so confused. I do not get so angry anymore, I just get confused. Why on earth do people use insults related to sexual preference or gender, i.e. gay, pussy, faggot, bitch etc etc (these kind of insults are common in Swedish to)? Of course it says more about them then the person they…
Doing wrong, making right
I think that people sometimes have too high expectations on each other. Or I should say I have. I dislike doing wrong and I dislike being done wrong to. But after all we are only humans. And it is not really any problems in doing wrong. It is all about how you handle it. I…
Flabbergasted
Flabbergasted, my all-time favorite English word. I think it is the “gas” thing, makes me all giggly. Anyway, flabbergasted is the only way to describe my current emotion. I am flabbergasted of what people (yes, human DNA) are not only prepared to do to other people, they actually goes off and do it. And I…
Proud to be Swedish
There are many reasons to why I am proud to be Swedish. In general Swedes could be better at being proud. This was something I found very liberating when living in the US, to be “allowed” to be proud; over my team, my school, myself etc etc. This time I will share an example of…
Children
Watching a film about child labour in the cocoa industry. I know that this is not the only corrup business, but there is something wrong. Terribly wrong. In the entire food business. We really need to demand to KNOW where our food comes from and under what terms they have been produced AND start paying…
Younger peeps
There are few things I see as more interesting and giving than to have the respect and confidence of a teen. To be handed the possibility to be a sounding board to a teenager’s honest thoughts and feelings must be absolutely brilliant. One must feel like Yoda. Like a bottomless well of wisdom. The tricky…
Flawless
I wouldn’t say that I am beauty pageant (thank God) material, but I do have the best skin ever. No acne – ever, very little wrinkles etc etc. Dermatologists and beauticians often congratulate me to my fantastic, flawless, porcelain skin. My skin is is great, except on an early Monday morning in mid February, when…
He had me at “hello”
A while back I read Zlatan Ibrahimovic‘s autobiography (written together with author David Lagercrantz) and I enjoyed it. Maybe I didn’t think it was the most well written, but I still enjoyed it. What really captured me, and what made me determined to always respect one of the world’s most talented soccer players, was his…
Just an ordinary Thursday
I have asked some friends and former colleagues for some feedback as I am taking this development class. And how lucky I am to not only have friends but to have the most intelligent ones. Yes, all the positive things are great to hear (but nothing really new 😉 ), but what I truly appreciate…
Offended
Reading, the first book of the “50 shades…” series. (Yes, I am well aware I’m the last one reading it. ) To my surprise I really like it. Anyway, I notice I got offended when the main character describes women, just over 40, as older women. Of course the character is in her early 20’s…
By golly
Sometime, like right now, I get so impressed by my brain. It is just so super! Do you get impressed? By yours I mean.
Me, Louise
I am so happy that I, for the time being, have figured out who I am, where I want to go and started walking. It has required me to be honest and tough towards myself, a lot of work at least for my mind. It has also meant that I needed to let go of…
Right here, right now
Sitting in my favourite armchair. A new book (well for me…), a cup of coffee, the afternoon sun sipping through the window and the rest of the family up to theirs. I am complete. There is nothing more I need. Happy happiness.
Based on some discussions on Facebook
Today I want to celebrate the discussion. Or the people who know how to discuss and to let their voices be heard in a, even if emotional, respectful way. People who share their way of thinking and why they think that way. And who let me share mine, but also who question also my view….
Disappointed
Know what, the best albums of the one and only Mr van Morrison is not available on Spotify. I am talking about; Enlightenment, Hymns to the silence and Too long in exile. I am sure he has his reasons but for me that ain’t good enough. Now I need to go to You Tube.
There is a higher power
It is now proven, with no questions to it, that there is a higher power. Because otherwise the Mr and I would never have met, fallen in love and stay in love. Because he has the worst, did you read – worst senes of humor. My kind of fun: His kind of fun: http://youtu.be/2ZI4MWGeW6U Who…
What if?
What if more teenagers, or people in general wanted more. I do not mean more money or stuff for themselves. Watched a TV-show with the girl Malala from Pakistan, who was shot by talibans for standing up for her and all other girls’ right for education and freedom. I got so inspired by her and…
Tired of
I am tired of people in leading positions who: Do not listen Do not care about people Do not see consequences, when it involves people, but apparently can see consequences when it involves money … hmm strange… Do not see it as their responsibility to motivate people, but are more than happy to ask you how…
Educators
There are few things more giving, than a good conversation. Friday was one of these days and so was today. I had several good ones, but I really enjoyed the one with a friend who also happens to be (or work as, if you feel uncomfortable to equal a person with its proffession) a teacher….
Equality
I just would like to share a video which came my way the other day. I support everything connected to equality (gender, religion, sexual orienation etc) . And I condem everything that has to do with hate. Hate and ignorance. Love is beautiful, always.
Congratulations all men
I must say it was a day of sadness the other day when Wentworth Miller released the news. Not so much that he is not coming to St Petersburg’s film festival. No, more so the fact that he is gays and I am not. On the otherhand me being gay, would’t help as he still…
Zzzzzzzz
So tired. A lot at work, good. A lot of other shit, not good.
Suckers
He he, the small (?) devil inside me is laughing real hard. Thinking about them poor bastards who, at 9.30 pm on this very Sunday, are having a hard anxiety attack as they are off to work tomorrow, after a somewhat long and fabulous vacation. I started working a month ago and is well past…
What is important
Strange, huh, how life changes. Or how life changes you. And thank G*d for that. But still, how inefficient it is that we do not know what we know at 80 already at 20. Life would have been so much easier for that 20 year old. But it starts to hit me now, when touching…
All you need is…
… music, or really any form of art. But I would say, despite my unexisting musical sense, music is the form of art which, with ease, can bring you to the same level of high, which I believe (without knowing), the substabce abusers are going for. I mentioned this in this post. At the monent…
High on life baby, high on life (and without artificial substances)
Sitting on the train going back to Sweden after a short vacation to fab Copenhagen. The Mr, I and friends went to Robbie Williams’ concert. The Dock’s took the oppertunity for an extra day of vacation and walked about i the warm, WARM danish capital. Once again, just like last year with Coldplay at the…
That coach
Last week Sam was alone at swim practice. The head coach was the stand in as his ordinary coach was away. I realized quite fast that I was to witness great coaching from a dedicated and skilled coach. He was disciplined. I am not for that east european (the head coach is from Poland…) style…
Stupid, stupid, stupid
I think it is OK to be stupid, but it is not OK to show that you are. Especially not when you try to be clever and question other people’s smartness in the process. As my kids would say – you FAIL!
Today’s disturbance of circles
You know, we all have them. Things that you have a really hard time living with. The Mr have a hard time when ladels etc points at him at the dinner table. I, I have really hard time when you make the bed with unmatching bed linnen. When the pillowcases don’t match the blankets. Apparently…
That ol’ saying
In Sweden we have this saying “One shall hear a lot, before the ears fall off.”, meaning that sometime you cannot believe what people are telling you. Today was one of those days. I will tell you as much that it has to do with what tricks people are willing to take just to secure their…
You may call me Zlatanista
I admit it, I am very much affected by his book. I have known his greatness, but not fully understood it, until now. I am not even a soccer gal. Only what 20 years of active brainwash can make you. Tonight his and his team PSG, Paris Saint Germain won the French league, Ligue 1,…
What do they say?
My coach once said “when u feel something, be curious on your emotions and investigate what they really want to tell you”. I am feeling A LOT right now, the question is what do they tell me? I think they say: “Why dont you all just fuck off?!”
Death by stoning
I am not a practicing Christian, but sometimes I find things in the Bible worth noticing and mentioning. This in particular or something similar I believe is found in most faiths: “Do to others what you would have them do to you” (Matthew 7:12) So simple. Simple words, simple meaning. But apparently so hard for some…
Changing trains
What is it they say… “Change is the only thing in life that is constant”. So I’ve changed. Charlie Hunnam has been the flavor of the week since Christmas. But since all episodes of SOA (Son’s of Anarch you ignorant people) are watched and episode 6 will linger, one have to find another box of chocolates….
…and the good guys
I have the feeling that sometimes, maybe to a majority, I express somewhat negative opinions here. Strong minded opinions of when people are doing wrong (according Law of Louise). It might be natural that I have a bigger need to express myself when I things are tough. Therefore it is not more than right, that…
Commercials
When I was 14, one of the top wishes was commercial TV. Commercials were only possible to see prior to a movie starting, at the theatre that is. Well, “the free world” also came to Sweden in the earlie 90’s. But gee, how many commercials can one put into a football game?!
