The weekend come to its end…
Have had a fairly nice weekend, been playing around with all the new iLife apps. Went a little bit crazy with the photo tagging, but I think it will pay off in the long run. And believe it or not, I got some school work done to !
Going to have to continue where I left of though. To be perfectly honest I need to sort out my priorities…
But its kind of fun to take a break from real life and just play around.
I should probably do that more often, it would make my life a lot easier.
I will have to prepare everything for nest week, so I should keep this post to minimum length. But that is a good question in it self, what is the minimum length of a blogpost ?
Well, I will have to give that a thought, since a picture in it self, can be a great post…
Out there the howling wind is freezing !
First of all, Malwas 20th birthday celebration was a big success !
I think I managed to stay away from all cameras, but I did get a few good photos, that I sent to endlessnessego a.k.a. Misha. ” Tnx for the recognition, I realized that I altogether got around 650 photos that evening, not a very good success procent … 😉 ”
Another fun thing happened this weekend, my mum, who always try to point out my youth, told me something quite funny. On my 18’th birthday I got a navyblue Club Blazer, I still have it, and use it from time to time. This Weekend was one of the times.
Anyway, my mother pointed out that I have had good use of it, for a long time, quote ’for you are soon to be 30 after all’. She is precious… But for someone like me, who feel a great deal older the my physical age, that quote was rather fun.
Well, when I went back to Nybro I got problems with my mothers car, so I had to back to Norrköping. First I was thinking that I might be able to take the train, back to Nybro, but I could not afford it. And to be perfectly honest I did not feel like staying the night and go directly to school in Kalmar early in the morning. So I took my car, and a few hours later I was back ’Home’.
I have been in a rather blue fashion for about a year, and I gather it makes for rather hollow bloggposts. And for those of you that are a very real part of my life, I do know that, I am not, what you would say is, ”myself”. The paramount reason for this is that I feel like I am sort of missing my better half. So bear with me on my hollowness, I hope, that 2009 will give me the understanding I need to know where I should go from here.
Enough of self pity and dreams divorced from reality.
This year has only begun, it can only get better, right !?
And now for something completely different, to make you smile !
http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w – Ministry of Silly Walks
This always makes me smile…
It also brings to mind, a afternoon on the ”Drottninggatan” in Norrköping, many years ago. But it was a delight, it is very easy to bring smiles to your fellow humans. You could start wear a hat, or take a walk, the silly stile…
iPhone Apps…
Maybe this is not post about very necessary things, but still they are pretty useful. I have had my iPhone since last autumn, I waited for a eternity for it to be released in Sweden. Well, i am more then pleased with it, it was well worth the wait.
It gives me the possibility to stay in touch, even when I am at sea. I do not have to bring my bulky old iBook anymore, to have internet, mail, msn, skype and like.
Well than, what have I bought, or got for free from Appstore ?
Social networking
Facebook
It is a app for connecting to and using Facebook, a bit buggy, but it works…
Nimbuzz
I just downloaded it today, and it might replace Parlingo on my iPhone,
if the skype part works well.
Parlingo
The App I have been using for MSN, it works very well …
Twinkle
This program might not need a introduction, but its for Twitter,
it works well, and most of the times it workes flawlessly, but there are times…
Blogging
Lifecast
My utility for easy blogging, has not been working very well lately,
so I might see if i can find a replacement.
Free RSS
Downloaded it today, but it seem to work great,
it seem to be rather bandwith efficient, and that is quite important whilst I am at sea.

Another day in paradise…
There is this book, Candide by Voltaire. The main character in the book in question, Candide, witch probably translates to something like gullible, is of the belief, no matter what happens to him, that he and his fellow characters live in ”the most perfect of worlds”.
I believe it is something to strive for, ”the most perfect of worlds”, but like capitalism or communism, or to be honest, most ”isms”, it is impossible, the most perfect of world will never be. Why you may ask, and I would answer that, the reason for this is that every is relative.
As a example, temperature, one person might love a indoor temperature of 20 ° centigrade, personally I would freeze like a Sphynx cat. I prefer to have at least 23 ° centigrade. I tend to get rather cold when I am sitting down to study or watch tv or whatever.
Of course, when I am in bed, under my thick down comforter, I love to have a cold bedroom, but thats a different story. What I am getting at is that like everything else, the temperature in my flat, relative me, is perfect, well not always since my flat is just a bit cold.
The world look rather different, depending on whose eyes you look upon the world with.
My poor schoolmates have heard this comment of mine too many times I guess, but I still believe it to be true. One can strive to make the world, the most perfect of worlds, but you will not ever succeed to 100 %. Depressing, maybe, but still it is a challenge to try to make the most of it !
