Concert tonight – Kari Rueslåtten

Just arrived home after being on a concert with Kari Rueslåtten together with Bendik, Line, Espen and Loy. Despite the sound, which from time to time could have been better, the concert was really good. And I must admit that Kari is … beautiful … and a good singer… see and listen at http://www.karirueslatten.com

Exile
i just want to lay myself down
drink the illusions and let it all float away
into the river of voices
one of them will speak and tell me where to go
i packed my thoughts and visions
headed for the light on the other side
although consoling was a myth
the tunnel was a con
i ran – but i never turned back
i have deported my own life
into this foolish splendour
i have brought the beauty of a soul
cold and dark as the last day
is the image of the dream
that made it all worth-while
in exile
if there is a sign out there hiding
come to me now or forever hold your peace
you’ll find me in my room in the guesthouse
riding clouds that are hard to please
when there is a fight i will be there
it feels so good to do what one should not do
and i play i gamble and stay
i look – but i never turn back

After the concert we started the planning of our summer vacation, and the plan this year is Bulgaria http://www.travel-bulgaria.com/

Statement about golf

I’ve never understood his fixation for golf. I mean, what is the deal with that? You hit a ball with a stick and then you walk after it and you hit it again! I say if you hit it and then you find it, you got fucking lucky, pal! Put it in your pocket and go home.

Schnappi das kleine krokodil

Two days ago a colleague of mine sang the German child tune “Schappi das kleine krokodil”. This morning I heard it on the radio, and now just a while ago I was watching a video on the Internet where a guy at an amusement park gets his arm bitten by a crocodile. And guess what, the music was “Schnappi das kleine krokodil”, you can see the video here. http://www.exbyte.net/showit.php?videoid=566. So I had to find it on the net, I found a posting in a blog, where you can both download the mp3 and read the lyrics http://bogieworks.blogs.com/treppenwitz/2005/01/schnappi_das_kl.html. Scroll down, and you will find the english translation as well.
