Got another lecture in tolerance and being open minded (I’m pretty good at both). Saw the “E! True Story” of Ginger Lynn. Most of you will say “who?” because most of the people I know either don’t watch porn or deny that they watch pornos, but now we’re talking early & mid 80’s. And if I wasn’t a huge computer game freak (she was in Wing Commander 3) and if I didn’t have this huge space in my head that I fill with useless info I wouldn’t know who she was either. But seing this was 10 times more interesting than seing any “E! True Story” with Julia Roberts or someone booring or plain like that. And just about anything featuring Ron Jeremy is hilarious by definition!
Shit! It’s happened again! Once again the Swedish judicial system has proven it is incompetent, paragraph-abiding, archaic and lost in the world of normal life! Get this – 6 guys goes out for a night in Tumba (little suburb to Stockholm). One of them meets a 35 year old mother of two. She has alot to drink, they dance a little and he offers her a ride home. And there she has consensual sex with all six of them. And the court bought that story. It couldn’t have been rape, or even sexual assault, beause the woman was a) not defenseless (i.e she wasn’t physically bound in any way. So what if she had an alchohol level of 2.5!) b) by her own admission she was a flirty kind of person (… so?) c) Dressed very sexy (!!) and d) she had willingly accepted the ride home and got into the car herself. I mean, what tha fuck is wrong with that picture!? I didn’t know these kinds of things still happened, that the court would use stuff like “she was asking for it”! I don’t know who I’m most upset with, the 6 assholes that raped her or the 5 assholes that acquitted them! Damn this kind of thing ticks me off!
This is so weird! I woke up this morning. And I felt good. Totally replenished, ready for another hard days work. I never do that! I always wake up and the first thought is “oh no, not again!” followed by a “I wanna sleep just a liiiitle bit longer”. But this morning I woke up 5 minutes before my alarm went off and just popped out of bed and did my morning routine and now here I am at work feeling all good and shit. And I blame drugs! Because yesterday it was time to take some vaccination shots in preparation for going to South America and Asia, and that’s the only reason I can think of why I’m feeling this way. Or perhaps it’s a combo of that, the fact that it’s Friday, it’s payday and the sun is shining.
Another weird thing… you know I have an over-appreciation for beauty, especially when it comes to women, right? But one feature that I’ve never paid too much consideration to is lips! That is until I saw these lips. Unfortunately there is more to that picture than you may think. But I’ll let you enjoy the picture for a few days…
At this point on my life I found out I had been selected to be one of 4 hired PC technicians for a government project to update the computer systems of our embassies. It was a big deal for our company and I almost passed since I’m the guy that doesn’t wanna disturb my routines more than I have to. But after some convincing from my friends and family I got to go around the world for 14 months. Unfortunately it was classified so I couldn’t talk about it anywhere or with anyone since I had such high access in their network so I couldn’t post about it while I was travelling.
But afterwards, when my security clearence was revoked and passwords changed, I posted everything.
This has to be the best music-related story I’ve heard all year! Who said computer freaks lack a sense of humor!? I thought those suits and marketing execs would have learned not to go around asking for trouble with hackers?! I wonder if they are now considering the actual costs of fixing that website compared to the not so measurable cost of MP3 spreading. Was it worth it?
Another sign that I’m pretty immature for my age. Today we were talking about pension, insurance and those kinds of “adult” things and I couldn’t even work up the energy to pay attention! I know I should care about it. I should care about my retirement plan before it’s too late. But from where I’m sitting it’ll take a miracle for me to make it to 65! And if I do, I’d like to think money’s not gonna be as important as it is right now. Hopefully, in 40 years we’ve reversed that process, atleast a little. And being a person who’s never spent more than two consecutive days in a hospital, I’m not really bothered about health insurance. And life insurance to take care of my spouse or kids if I die? Yeah, right…
As I said, I should care about all these things. The same way people who smoke know it’s bad for them but they do it anyway. Or people driving too fast even when they’ve got plenty of time… wait, that’s me again…
My mother wanted me to post a “I am not homophobic, I am a very tolerant person!” defense speech in response to my Thursday-entry. And that is so wrong! Actually, half the point I was trying to make was how hard it is to disprove the theory you may be gay – without sounding like a homophobe! If you in your reply sound the least bit condescending towards the gay community you’ll end up being labelled a homophobe.
So just to clarify (again) – I’m not gay, I’m not homophobic and neither is my mother. She’s a very tolerant person. Except when it comes to people talking on the cell phone in restaurants. And her children’s desire not to be embarrassed in public. And people smoking in public places. And people who can’t be quiet at the movies. And the buss company. And intolerant people. And politicians with a twisted sense of reality…
As a matter of fact, I only know one really homophobic person. And he knows who he is. Strangely enough he doesn’t mind two girls going at it. Then again, what guy does…
Click here. Damn that’s funny!
Btw, I think I’m gonna set up another page on this site with “My Pictures” kinda thing. One contribution to that archive will be this picture taken at last year’s Lucia (Dec. 13th). Is it just me, or do I have a small (but loud) mouth!?
So how many people, beside my sister, misinterpreted the comment “I haven’t been in a man-woman relationship for over a year” to suggest I was gay?! Usually I wouldn’t get upset over that, I mean there is room for interpretation there. But I did because 1) she knows me and what I’m like around women better than anyone else (girlfriends excluded) and 2) it’s not the first time people have thought that! Even my mother, even my sister’s-husband’s mother (which makes her what to me?) suggested that, and some friends have had to ask to clarify it. I feel a little bit like Chandler – why would people think that? I wouldn’t be upset being called gay if I were gay, I wouldn’t be upset being called “short-sighted, close minded asshole!” if I was. But I’m neither! And the usual “only a gay man would deny that!” and “I think you’re overcompensating with your obession about chicks!” amateur psychology doesn’t help! So, just to set the record straight (that was quite funny!) – I’m not gay (not to my knowledge anyway!), I love women and water is wet!
As usual, no update yesterday so nobody will confuse my life with an April fools… which it kinda is sometimes… Anyway, what’s on my mind? Commercials! Since I have a british mother, I’ve spent some time over there early in my life and one thing that really seperated the english TV from swedish is commercials!
We haven’t had TV commercials in sweden for that long, maybe about 15 years now. And I think it took them this long to learn how to do it nicely, in a funny way, so funny you’d want more and start visiting their website to learn what’s new… I’m ofcourse talking about Vasakronan who started a fake reality-show called “The Office”! “No space, no coffe, slow Internet connection, no smoke-section”, LOVING IT! A guy even voted out his own wife 🙂 They have a website here, Kontoret.nu. Hilarious! Maybe there is hope! But I don’t know, all these bad detergent-soap-toathpaste commercials have left alot to make up for!
