Le Zombie-Challenge: Day 1.

2012-02-06T20:43:00.000-08:00

Zombie Apocalypse, prepared are you? ~~who'd you save and who'd you not, and why?~~ Post pictures.

(disclaimer: for this blog I'm assuming that Zombies are like the one's depicted in Shaun of the Dead, seeing as that is both an excellent movie and I don't have the cardio for any fast-paced zombies.)

How can one prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse? I would be, by default, something which would come as a surprise. There are, however, steps you can take. And if you follow the steps outlined in "The Zombie Survival Guide", you're on your way. But, I havn't read it, and I'm not in favour of running myself according to something which 'might, hopefully, happen' so this blog will be about how I'm prepared [i]right now[/i] with no special steps taken.

So, what do you need for the Zuckalypse?
- weapons
- armour
- food
- shelter
- survival skills (urban and/or rural)
- alcohol and/or the capabilities of making it

What would be the ideal weapons for killing off zombies? For preference it would be something you could use from a distance, a projectile weapon, but that would, eventually, run out of ammo, besides I don't own any. I do, however, have my share of both sharp and blunt melee weapons. It would have to be heavy enough to bash in their skulls and destroy the brain, or cutting off the entire head, but also light enough so you wouldn't get too tired wielding it. Remeber I'm assuming that these creatures does not feel or react to any kind of pain, but cutting off limbs would slow them down even more.

At this very moment I have 4 blades(not counting knives), one axe and a large war-hammer which I would consider (remember I'll be talking armour later).

All four blades, and the axe, can be wielded in one hand, and with the exception of one of the blades, they're light enough to be used repeatedly for longer periods. The hammer, on the other hand, in a two hand weapon, and a rather short one at that, and very heavy! But it is, by far, the perfect weapon for bashin' zombie noggins'!

If moving around alone, I would go for the axe, the middle-most sword (the saX) and the short blade next to it as well. Reasons? Well, I could have all three weapons on me without being too encumbered. The sax is lightweight and sharpens up easily. The axe is fast, heavy and with a nice long beard if the Zs get too close. The short blade next to the sax is extremely light, it would NOT serve very well if it wasn't sharp, BUT the lightness makes it a good extra weapon.

The hammer is simply too encumbering :(

Moving on to armour.
Remember, we're assuming these Zs are rather slow and infect by biting. So I've opted for the perfect fit for my chosen weapons, either of these shields:

They're both 16mm thick and made from sturdy wood, this makes them slightly heavy, but also very, very durable. Especially against those pesky zombies. Use the shield to hold off the biting horde while you chuck away at them with either axe or short <3 If I had to choose, and if I'm running around alone, I'd chose the large one, the green, covering most of my torso it would be ideal!

You're bound to get hit in the head, one way or the other, and for protection against that I have two options:

I'll choose the right one. Even though it doesn't look as fancy as the other, I doubt that I would have any need to protect my cheek-bones. With this helmet my head would be protected against all kinds of bashes and such. However, when thinking about it, maybe I [i]should[/i] choose the other helmet. Were I too crash on my bike, it would provide much better protection! Yes. That'll be the one. True anti-Zombie viking.

As for the rest of my body I have a thick padded coat which I'll use

It's thick enough for the Zs not to be able to bite through it, and it will protect me against most other things as well. My hands will be protected by a pair of sturdy gloves with a hard plastic covering, sadly I don't have a picture of those. I realize that my legs and feet will have hardly any coverage, though I would be wearing my sturdy military-grade boots. (Note on weapons and armour, it's actually light enough for me to be able to ride my bike <3)

That - I think, concludes the weapons and armour part of this blog. And I've suddenly realized that the Vikings might just have been the people best suited for a zombie apocalypse.

Now, shelter. Where should I hide out from these nasty biters? Well, because I live in the middle of Odense I have a few options. I could stay in the dorm in which I live, it's a quite sturdy building, made of concrete and with few access points, [i]but[/i] the room I live in is on the groundfloor and has a huge window facing the street - that would certainly be a disadvantage! One could also consider the OBC - but again, there are some huge faults in the design, particular in a sure-fire way to keep out Zombies! It would be the same with the old Thrige buildings. What else is there? The old harbour of course! It's littered with old, very tall, and rather well-built storage buildings! And several of those are actually filled with either food or materials for safing the building itself! Also, along the piers there are several boats which could be utilized in an escape should the situation become too much to handle! Another little nifty thing to note, it that it's quite, quite close to where I live! I would actually have a chance at getting there.

As you can see on the map - there are also several ways to get there, in case the most direct route is blocked. There is also a bridge which, if destroyed, limits access to the pier to waterway only. The gap would be too big to jump, however athletic the zombie is.

Several of the buildings along the opposite pier holds food, primarily grain, from which you can make porridge, or even alcohol if needed!

Now, I know I havn't adressed all of the issues, like who to save and who not to, but it's already become quite a lengthy blog >.> But I'll throw you a bone, and add the issues to a later blog. Raluca, roommate, would definately not be one I would save, I would actually use her as bait. For two reasons:
Were she to live, she would distract every other surviver with her highpitched screams and she'd constantly nag everyone with her uselessness. And, perhaps most importantly, were she to be bitten, I'd have to kill her - she'd then rise as a zombie and I'd be... "forced" to kill her again. <3 :D

Remember, equipments-wise, I've only counted things I have in my room at this very moment!

Tune in tomorrow for: "2. Assume that you are 'pro-life', how would a Zombie-Apocalypse affect your stand-point? Discuss."

Le Zombie-Challenge!

2012-02-06T14:37:00.000-08:00

I've decided to give myself another blog-challenge, even though I failed miserably the first time. This time it's going to be my own topics, or rather, mostly my own. There's going to be one overall theme. And seeing as we're currently hurdling through space in the year 2012 I thought that: "Zombies and the end of the world" would be nice and proper.

It's going to be something like this: I write up 3-5 topics which will be what my next blogs will center around, but at any time you, the readers, can submit ideas and new topics (though they have to be within the overall theme, 'photo' topics are allowed as well). Also, aiming at half a page (around 700 characters) per topic. Hopefully I'll only end up having to come up with the first couple of topics myself. First blog will be the 7th of this month. I'm aiming at minimum 10 blogs, though there is no maximum!

They will be published on Blackmarket.dk, Caffeine-deficiency.blogspot.com, and ieattastymeat.tumblr.com

topics:
1. Zombie Apocalypse, prepared are you? who'd you save and who'd you not, and why? Post pictures.
2. Assume that you are 'pro-life', how would a Zombie-Apocalypse affect your stand-point? Discuss.
3. Are you scared of zombies? Discuss.
4. Write a short-story about being a teenage zombie girl attending Z-High School.
5. Write an article about how Zombies could benefit the world economy.

S'jøst. Jeg gider ikke deres skide propaganda mere. Jeg gider ikke folk der ikke har andet i hovedet end deres propaganda. Jeg gider hverken se eller høre på det. De er fanatikere, og de er fascister. De tåler ikke at andre mennesker har andre meninger, og de tåler ikke at deres 'mening' ikke altid bliver hørt ej heller er den eneste.

Jeg har intet imod veganere og vegetarer. Jeg har altid tilovers for dem der kæmper for bedre dyrevelfærd i opdrætningen af 'industrielt kød'. Jeg mener bare ikke at svaret er vold, hverken verbalt, billedligt eller fysisk. Og det er netop det de spiller på. Vold og følelsesporno. Det er snuff, følelses-snuff.

"Ville du gå i pelsen hvis det var din hund?" - næppe, for jeg har ikke hund. Men havde jeg en hund som blev aflivet, og jeg fik valget mellem at bruge skinnet og lade være? Jada. Hvorfor ikke? Jeg har gjort det med geder og får.
Jeg var... 7 eller så da jeg så min første slagtning, af et får og nogle geder vi havde haft i et par år. Det jeg husker bedst var at mine forældre prøvede at holde mig fra at se dem blive slagtet, men at jeg alligevel sneg mig ind og så det - og var laaaaaangt fra så berørt af det som begge mine forældre troede jeg ville være. Og at kødet smagte fantastisk - og at vi brugte skinnene fra dem i mange år. Og jeg havde det helt fint med det!

Og jo, granted, det er helt, heelt, anderledes når det er på det industrielle plan, men det er ikke altid PETANIMA organisationerne tager højde for det i deres propaganda.

Jeg ville fandme hellere nakkeskyde...

2011-04-05T08:45:00.001-07:00

den slags mennesker end at lade dem komme til stemme urnerne!

Jeg har i lang tid advokteret vigtigheden af at man stemte til [i]hvert
eneste[/i] valg. Jeg er endda gået så vidt flere gange at udtale mig om
at det var en borgers [i]pligt[/i] at stemme - og det mener jeg til dels
stadig.
Problemet er bare at jeg efterhånden har mistet troen på danskerne.

I første omgang er det folk større interesse for komplet ligegyldige
ting end hvad/hvem der styrer landet, jojo jeg forstår da godt at man
ikke kan gå og tænke på det konstant, bevares det gør ikke engang jeg,
men man bør i det mindste tage stilling, og ikke nok med det, så skal
man gu' fanden også vide hvad det indebærer.

Nu er der kommet noget andet op som har gået mig på de sidste par
måneder, ved folk ikke at de rettigheder vi har som lønmodtagere faktisk
ikke er lovmæssigt bestemt? Jeg har vitterlig indtryk af at folk tænker
mere på de kroner der kommer ind på kontoen, og hvordan de bedst får råd
til nye flotte smykker og fee sko, end på hvor[i]for[/i] de kan nøjes
med at arbejde 37 timer om ugen, hvor[i]for[/i] vi er berettiget til
ferie osv. Jeg græmmes hver gang jeg hører nogen sige at fagforeninger
er ligegyldige i dagens Danmark.

Derudover så bør alle folk der får en stemmeseddel i hånden have en god
lektion i historie, og hvorfor danmark har udviklet sig til det
velfærdsland vi alle er så glade for, og mener man ikke man er glad for
det... hell så skrid til USA og lad os andre kæmpe for
medmenneskelighed, forståelse, fællesskab og bevarelse af den danske
velfærd.

men [b]i sidste ende[/b] er de bange for at blive stillet helt og
aldeles alene, for de er jo netop også et produkt og "forbruger" af
velfærden, også selvom de ikke ønsker at indrømme det.

Mep.

thoughts.

2011-02-23T18:36:00.001-08:00

warming as it ran down his throat, he put the glass back down on the table again. his mind was full of thoughts, thoughts about abandonment, imagined, real and to come. he felt like his thoughts spilled into the air around him. shaking his head, as if to dislodge them, he took another drag of his cigarette. he really shouldn't be smoking, nor should he be drinking. by by happenstance both vodka and smokes had been there. he'd been told ealier that day that all his dreams and plans might really be escapism, a way for him to avoid thinking of his problems. another drag and another swig. despite experiences, both helped him to clear his head. at least tonight.

escapism might be what he had become all about lately. truly he wanted nothing else but be able to escape... everything. his life, the people around him, the people further away, the city, even this day and age. he wanted so badly to leave it all behind and start anew. start anew somewhere else. somewhere he could be himself all the time, support himself, live day to day, with just the care of how to support himself further. cut all bonds.

all of these thoughts conflicted with much of his being. he loved most of the people surrounding him. he had been able to cut off most of the people who were cause of grief. he had a loving family, friends and above all a girl who he really loved. but somehow, tonight, they had all become second. second to him.

it was all normal, he guessed, that he should wound up feeling like this. again. as he leaned back, eyes half-closed, the scent of distilled alcohol in his nostrils, mouth and lungs filling with sweet-tasting round smoke, he imagined himself in a desert, far away from everyone and everything. blue sky above, horizon dotted with a few white could, the ground yellow, with streaks of red sand.
he imagined himself standing there, in the middle of a barren creation, arms spread, as he suddenly felt a tingling. the already thick air, suddenly getting thicker, electric almost. opening his eyes, looking upwards, he was a ring of clouds. surrounding him on all sides, pressing in. at last the thick dark gray rolling clouds covered even the last bit of the blue sky. and the rain began to pour. almost silent at first, then soon with a roar eradicating every other possible sound. he felt elated, he felt free. he began to laugh loudly - the sounds drowned in the falling water.

he opened his eyes again, shook his head. he couldnt even keep his mind in the room with him anymore. downing the last of the warming liquid, putting out the smoke, he ventured in search of sleep.

Memes be flammable truths!

Below is an excerpt from an article written by BBC's Pauk Mason. You should really read the whole article, it's well-written, unlike my random scribles, and a really good read!

20 reasons why its kicking

1. At the heart if it all is a new sociological type: the graduate with no future

2. ...with access to social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and eg Yfrog so they can express themselves in a variety of situations ranging from parliamentary democracy to tyrrany.

3. Therefore truth moves faster than lies, and propaganda becomes flammable.

why you shouldn't...

2011-02-03T09:01:00.000-08:00

- befriend your old girlfriends on facebook. they're most likely doing whatever they always dreamed of doing, whereas you are sitting on front of your computer, back hurting, scrolling through their facebook-page.

- bring your phone with you on the binge after you've gotten dumped. she'll be deleting every single text you send, so will her mother, sister and best friend - leaving you a bigger and more complete bastard.

- eat while you watch porn. i wont even answer that.

I bet you didn't know that about me!

2011-02-02T02:15:00.000-08:00

There's a lot of things you probably don't know about me, you've probably picked up on the fact that I'm addicted to coffee, but do you know how I drink it? Do you know my favourite author? Probably not. But I've decided to let you in on a little secret of mine.

I'm crazy about Lady Gaga. *gasp*

Okay - that's not really a secret for those who know me. But you probably didn't know it :p

On another note. We got sent home from school today because of a bombthreat, and now the whole area is swarming with cops. Oh - and I live about 100 meters from the school.

Series.

2011-01-31T22:00:00.000-08:00

So, I finished Burn Notice the other day - one of the best endings of a show I've ever seen. Surprise, feel-good-feelings and explosions ^^.

Then I went on to Sanctuary, watch the last show of the 3rd season last night... I wan't more >.> They did the whole Ancient Vampire civilization, then the international cabal conspiracy, moved on to a malevolent god/abnormal plot and how friggin' Hollow Earth :D Amanda Tapping is amazing! The show is defing!

And while waiting for the next episode of Supernatural, I'll be watching V, or... trying to :p See how the show is going ^^

Wanna suggest a show? Leave a comment ^^

Spiders and tigers, balls and shorts.

2011-01-30T22:42:00.000-08:00

I've been waiting for the new episode of Supernatural for 7 weeks, my fingers are jittery and my racing. I needz mah fix!

It should've aired in the states the 28th, but unfortunately the CW-network has dogged it for another week :'(

So instead of hyping about how SPN handles their take on dragons and princesses, I'll cp a myth from Neil Gaiman... something wicked about balls.

I'd like to recommend every single short and novel the man has ever written. American Gods, The Anansi Boys being among the best, but Coraline and Smoke and Mirrors are close behind.

"So tiger

he's got huge balls

I'm talking HUGE

these balls are so big

they have like

other smaller balls

ORBITING THEM

these are some rough and rowdy

rude and crude

out of control balls

and tiger is extremely proud of them

so one day tiger goes down to the river with his friend anansi

i dont know how anansi has any friends

since he does nothing but betray them and eat their food

but anyway they go down to the river

and anansi is like hey let's go swimming

and tiger is like well ok

but i dont want to get my precious balls wet

they might shrink momentarily

get all pruney and shit

and anansi is like well ok

since i'm such a good friend

you can go swimming

and leave your balls here with me

and i'll watch over them while you go have summertime fun

nothing bad will happen i promise

so tiger is like dur ok

and he leaves his balls there with anansi

and goes swimming

now anansi

being a spider

has tiny tiny balls

these balls are like

invisible to the naked eye

in fact just looking at them

makes other peoples' balls shrink two sizes

they call it "the reverse testicular grinch"

or they would if they had doctor seuss back then

but even though his balls are small

they have got to be INCREDIBLY DENSE

packed tight with TESTICULAR FORTITUDE

because as soon as tiger is out of sight

anansi rips off his balls

and sticks tiger's balls onto his dick instead

and leaves his tiny spider balls behind

and runs the fuck away

anansi doesnt stop running the fuck away

until he gets to the next town

and in the next town anansi meets a monkey

and the monkey is like YO ANANSI WHATS GOOD

NICE BALLS MAN

and anansi is like haha thanks

feelin' super manly today

speaking of which

i heard this hilarious song this morning

i can't get it out of my head

and monkey is like dude what is the song

and anansi is like ahem it goes like this:

tiger’s balls, yeah

I ate tiger’s balls

now aint nobody gonna stop me never at all

nobody put me up against the big black wall

cos I ate tiger’s testimonials

I ate tiger’s balls

and monkey is like AMAZINGGGGGGG

I'M GOING TO SING IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS

AND WE ARE GOING TO SING IT LOUDLY

ALL DAY EVER DAY

and anansi is like sweet

go ahead and do that

so then anasi runs back to the river

and he sees tiger running around

furious with tiny spider balls dangling from his dick

like ANANSI

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO WATCH MY BALLS

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

and anansi is like IT WAS THE MONKEYS MAN

I AM SO SORRY

WHOLE BUNCH OF MONKEYS CAME

AND STOLE YOUR BALLS

AND I WAS LIKE NO STOP

STOP YOU MONKEYS

THOSE ARE THE BALLS OF A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE

but the monkeys were like

HAHAHA FUCK YOU

and then they ripped off MY balls

and left them there

for you to find

and tiger is like i am pretty suspicious

because you suddenly have huge tiger balls

and I have your balls

so i am going to eat your liver

just to be safe

but just then

a whole bunch of monkeys start swinging through the trees

singing like

LA LA LA

I ATE TIGER'S BALLS

LA LA LA

BALLS BALLS BALLS

and tiger is like YOU BASTARDS

and he goes off to kill every monkey

leaving anansi to enjoy his massive

MASSIVE

testicles

the moral of the story is

you don't need to feel sad or inferior

just cause you've got tiny balls

just find a friend with huge balls

and steal them

and then blame some monkeys

The end"

Little boy blue and the man on the moon.

2011-01-30T13:53:00.001-08:00

Really not much to say to be honest, but I've had an amazing weekend.

Now I'm sitting in front of the computer, listening to music, trying to figure out where the hell episode 12 of Supernatual is and debating wether or not to go to bed now. :b

My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"

Cat's in the cradle.

Thou art burn-ed

2011-01-28T02:03:00.000-08:00

For those of us who spent hours and hours in front of the telly, watching Richard Dean Anderson do all those nifty things as Macgyver, it was a loss when the tv-series disappeared from the air. But there's hope - in 2007 a new sun began to shine; Burn Notice.

Going strong in 4 seasons, Jeffrey Donovan has played the role of Michael Westen, a burned U.S Government spy, trying to figure out who burned him, how to get back in again, and generally helping people. The series is a beautiful mixture of comedy, drama, mystery and Macgyveri.

Plus they sport one of the greatest personalities, and one of my favorite actors, in tv and cinema, Mr. Bruce Campbell!

If you haven't seen it yet, you should ;)

+ friends!

2011-01-27T12:15:00.000-08:00

This is a short one. I'd just like to praise my indispensable friends once more. Without you I really, really wouldn't have much!

And now I'll sleep. Good night world - thou art honestly most severily odd.

And to quote my fav. author:
"This one's for you"
- Neil Gaiman

Family! heart

2011-01-27T02:18:00.000-08:00

I've have the best family ever!

I know there's never really been any doubt about that, but once more they've proven themselves to be ... being awesome!

As I wrote in a previous entry I got a rather nasty letter from my landlord yesterday, about them wanting to evict me. 4 hours after reading it, my cousin asked me if I'd found the money yet - of course I told her I hadn't, and she immediately offered to lend me the money!

This is amazing. I'm so happy now! xD YAY!

I only wish she lived closer so I could do something for her :(

Abomination Foods A/S presents: The I-Aint-got-nothing Bread.

2011-01-26T22:08:00.000-08:00

You'll need:
about 8-9 dc flour,
4 dc lukewarm- water, milk or beer (I used water),
2 teasp salt,
2 tablesp oil, (I used the aptly named rape-oil)
Spices, (I used a little bit of chili and some freshly ground pepper)
25g of yeast,

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm liquid, add the oil, spices, salt and
stir in the flour by and by. The dough should be able to let go of the
bowl like stiff porridge, but don't make it too solid. Let the dough
raise under a cover for about 15 minutes.After 15 minutes you take the dough out on the table and "work" it with
a large spoon, add just the amount of flour it takes for the dough to
lift off of the table. Don't make it so solid that you're able to knead
it with your hands. Then shape the dough into a large flat bun and put
in on a covered baking plate. Let it raise once more for 15 minutes.
Brush with milk or egg-yolk, and sprinkle some spices or seeds over it.

Bake it at 200C for about 20 minutes.

I brushed with a very little bit of milk and sprinkled some more ground
pepper over it before putting it into the oven.

I imagine it going very very well with the wanna-be potato soup I think
I'll try and make later (more or less a another version of the
tomato-beetroot soup

, ill make a post ^^)

The Idiot has been given another chance.

2011-01-26T15:18:00.000-08:00

I'm tired. I'm so very, very tired. Mostly of myself, and my life.
This morning I woke up to an email from my landlord - telling to me
evict the premises by the 3rd next month, due to not having paid rent.
And yes, I haven't paid rent, and yes it's stupid, and to make it all
worse, I hadn't contacted them about it. And yes, I'm an irresponsible
idiot.

But I wrote them, begging them to make an exception and give me some
leash - and they did. They told me to get the money and have paid by the
31st. So now I have a couple of days to get everything sorted out. The
idiot have been given another chance!

On the up-side... I'm amazed at my friends and my girlfriend. I've lived
the last month without any form of money - without any form of support,
but I've never the less survived, more or less, on the generosity of
those people close to me - both old and new friends. And I love them for
it. I havn't had a month of excessive drinking or any of the other forms
of debauchery I'm usually known for - but I've had a good month.

I'll sign for now - wallow a bit on my own and hope everything works out
tomorrow.

Abomination Foods A/S presents: The Tomato-Beetroot Soup!

2011-01-25T15:26:00.000-08:00

This is a blog-entry for those of you who're out of money, or just don't want to spend a lot of money on food :b
It's no secret that I've lived the last month on the charity of others, and once more I'd like to thank every last one of my friends who've helped me through this month ^^. I've had to survive on... not very much at all.

This is the recipe for the aptly named, and badly coloured, Tomato-Beetroot Soup!

2 onions,
some ginger, about 2 mm. slice of a fresh one,
2 garlic cloves
black pepper-corns
curry
one beetroot,
canned tomatos,
a single bouillon cube, vegetables for preference.
about 5dc water

First peel half the onions and cut them in slices approximately 4 mm. wide, peel the garlic cloves and press them with the knife, them chop them into a fine mesh, the same with the ginger. Fry the onions, garlic and ginger with the ground pepper and curry, for about 5 minutes in a large pot - remember to stir so you won't burn it!
Peel and but the beetroot up in small pieces, cubes or slices what ever your preference is, as long as the pieces are small. Add the tomatos, beetroot slices/cubes, water and bouillon cube to the pot and stir it. It's a good idea to dissolve the bouillon cube in the water before adding it to the pot. Let it all boil at a low temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
Serve!

As you can see I've also added some beans to the mix. I warmed them slowly in a pot of almost boiling water for about 7 minutes. They're from my mother's garden by the way. ^^

DK - 'nother wow blog.

2011-01-20T17:18:00.000-08:00

Right, so I've made a deathknight, this is actually a first for me. I've
had one before, but only to play through the initial quests, and I must
say, when you've played through Northrend you really do get a lot more
out of the fluff. But I, to borrow a word from a mate, digress.

I'm intending to focus on PvP with this character, to see how well they
handle the onslaught, but also to try another DPS-class. It's no secret
that I'm a rogue-man, always has been and always will be, but I did have
fun playing on my tankadin, so much in fact, that've thought about
dusting her off again. But, once more, I'm not keeping to the point of
this blog.
I've specced frost and is, at the moment, in the verge of entering
Outlands (lvl 58). And I already have a few things I can't get my head
around. Why do we have a talent at the beginning of the tree which
focuses on 1h weapons? (Nerves of cold steel). When we start we only
have access to 2h weapons, they're nice, but not the dual-wielding
swords/axes I'd have imagined. But maybe I just have to be patient.
Another issue is... rune and runic power managing.... how the hell do
you manage that? I haven't >.> not yet at least. But maybe I shouldn't
expect to be able to pick it up in just under 40 minutes.

But I'm really really looking forwards to 85 already :b
Both pvp'ing and dps'ing dungeons.

For those interested, I've made him on Bronzebeard, horde.
And I still intend to rape the bg's with my rogue hot belf Angertea, on
Bronze Dragonflight.

drop me a note for realID ^^

Wow, IRL and PvP

2011-01-20T12:39:00.000-08:00

I just realized something. One of the re-occuring problems I have in World of Warcraft, I also have in real life. It's the exact same thing. People won't listen. I'm not talking about listening to me, but listen to either more experienced players, or just other players. People don't communicate. They talk, they flame, they troll... they hardly ever communicate.

It's there same on Blackmarket.dk, and I see it alot on the interwebz, but also other places. At a meeting the other day people talked, but didn't listen to each other. They didn't communicate. My most used argument in any discussion is; "we're all supposed to be adults", but.. meh. When no-one behaves like adults, then why should I? >.>

I PvP a lot in Wow, I haven't had a chance to do any rated bg's or arena yet tho' :(, and one of the main problems is always communication. I just had a streak of 4 AV battles, 3 EotS, 3 SoA and a single BfG win, all won because of coordination and thus, communication. It all comes down to communication. If players weren't lousy kids we might have a little more fun in this game :(

But I wanna do Arena, and rBGs. Soon. Nowish.

day ... wtf: how i failed

2011-01-19T15:27:00.001-08:00

And I did :b
I thought I could write a blog for every day in 365 days, I couldn't. Ah well, nothing to do about that. Now you'll just have to read my random ramblings and messages of hate, instead of the constructive thought-filled walls of text :D

So... what should I write about? Seriously. I don't know. How I don't have any coffee left, so I might have to mooch it off of my dad? How I don't have any smokes or money?

Uhm, nah... what about... about... how about - now I know! It'll be about something slick, and long, but not very thick. It's got racing-stripes on it tho'. And it's black. Black as coffee, with milk innit, so more brown than black. I'm of course talking about Abrahams dick. Dishonest Abe, as they tend to call him, a maker of slaves and a pisser-off-of people.

But really, what I wanna write about is about this guy's wang and why it is important in the discussion of the decline of the intellectual sociolect.
First some facts:
1. the decline is evident, it's already happening, we need to do something about it.
2. his dick is one of the most, if not the most, eloquent dicks in existence.
3. the western societies has experienced a decline in the generel public's interest in coherent debates.
4. america has a black president.
5. dude it's got racing stripes!
6.the poles are melting.

It's based upon those facts I'll try and formulate a solution.
First we need to get everyone together, in a room, preferably a very big one, and have a party. A real party. One of those parties where everyone wakes up the next day and just feel good about last night. Maybe we should think about drugging everyone.
THEN(!), we'll need everyone to sign a piece of paper, something that looks awefully legal and threatening. And then(!)... then we have to do something about the decline of intellectual sociolect.

I'll get back to that tomorrow... or laterz.

day 5: something I would change about the world

2011-01-16T08:53:00.001-08:00

(the day before) yesterday: day 4: how I think my life would change if I achieved my dream
Yes I know, technically I already failed. I'm sorry :'( But I'd like to refer to my first blog [day 1], I knew I would :p So, I'll make a double feature today! Yes. Two blogs.

Today: day 5: something I would change about the world
Oh boy. There's so much. So very, very, very much. But basically it all comes down to human nature, how we, as a society, look at our fellow human beings. Why do we have to see it all as a competition, to be better than everyone?
I'd like to change the way we all interact. I'd like to change the fact that money is more important than people. I'd like all my naïve notions to become true.

in a bit: day 6: something I would like to change about yourself

day 4: how I think my life would change if I achieved my dream

2011-01-14T05:58:00.001-08:00

Yesterday: day 3: what I think my reason for being here is

day 4: how I think my life would change if I achieved my dream

Hmm another tough one. Mostly because I'm not sure what my dream is. I do have some.
a. I have a dream of visiting L'anse aux meadows, and live there for a month, I have a dream of visiting some of the viking settlements on Iceland, replicating our winter-viking trip there. As well as in Norway and Sweden. I want to traverse the atlantic in a viking-ship (that one is almost certainly never going to happen :p).

b. Of a more realistic nature, I dream of getting a BA in History. Preferably in an area related to my... interests, either early european mideaval-times or viking age. Hmm. And then after that, get a job a one of the many awesome research dept./museums here in Denmark.

a. I'd be the happiest man on earth! Most of my time would be spent on planning the next trip, and the next. I'd be a happy-wappy viking :p

b. I'd be more than content ^^, and would finally be able to settle down a little. One of my main problems at the moment is the stress of not knowing. Not knowing when or how, I'll ever get out of this rut of mine. Don't think my life would change much tho', I'd certainly be more relaxed, have something to do, a reason to get out of bed. And be happy about it :p

Meh, this is a messy blog >.> should've had a different topic, but ... meh :p

Uh uh uh! I have everything around my finger! :o Really. It's true. It's right here on my right indexfinger.

np: In Flames - System

I'm bored. And giddy. I'm waiting for Svane to get to Odense. Dunno what to do till he does. I've tired of grinding leather in WoW (Horde, Bronze Dragonflight, EU btw), and tired of all the effin' flaming in the battlegrounds (still LOVE to pvp tho :p). I don't think I'll have to to play SC2, nor even a single match in LoL. Maybe I should watch a movie? Or check if the new Two and a half men / big bang theory is out?
I hate the fact that I have to wait till the 28th for the next episode of Supernatural >.> I wantz it NAOW!

Or maybe I should grab the Changeling: The lost book and sketch a few characters or scenarios? But I already have dozens of those. Btw, ever wanted to play all the old fairytales through in a modern dark setting? I've written 'em :p But everytime I start re-writing Rapuntzel for Changeling, it comes out looking more like King Kong >.>
I actually made a character named Ling-long for the scenario. :D

I'm ranting :o

the Monster, from under the bed, does it more often than me though. Rants that is. Sometimes I can't even sleep because he's lying down there jibbering all the time. Jib jab jib jab. That's all the says.
The piscies aren't much better, but they tend to drink a lot, and then fall asleep, so they're O.K. The Monster, from under the bed, is too! Don't misunderstand me, he's just... more demanding. Maybe I should just stop feeding him coffee? That might solve the problem.

np: In Flames - Egonomic

Tune in tomorrow, for: day 5: something I would change about the world , oh boy! :D

day 3: what I think my reason for being here is

2011-01-13T15:10:00.001-08:00

Yesterday: day 2: something that?s illegal but i think it should be legal

day 3: what I think my reason for being here is
Seriously? My reason for being here? o.O
Damn. Well... this is going to be a little... philosophical. Let my start by asking what is life?
Why is it we believe? In anything, I mean.

What is life, if not a series of let-down and by-gones. None of us can say that we've never regrettet anything, anything at all. None. life is... a lesson. A series of moments we learn by. Sometimes we use the knowledge we've aquired, sometimes we dont. it is, nonetheless, necesary.

Personally, I've had a lot of let-downs, a lot of things I'd rather not have been, in the moment, but now... I'd never have been me if I hadn't. Cliché, but true. If I can't change it, I'll have to make the best of it. And I believe i do.

Sometimes you can make a change, sometimes you can't, sometimes you can make a change in the last moment, just before the shit hits the fan. Sometimes you can make a difference, sometimes you can't. But you always make a dicision, even though you might make it just before... just before the last minute.

Belief is important. You always have to believe in something. If not anything tangible, then.. something else. If not in some god or other, then in yourself. Even if you believe in a god, any god, then you have to believe in yourself. How else can that, or those, god(s) excist? How else can the sun rise, and not just be a mere ball of flaming gas?

Which leads me to the conclusion, I'm here... my reason for being here, is... for me. I'd never expect anyone to believe anything as grand as a notion of me being would lead to a better humanity, but without me... you'd never know ;)
Nah, I'm kidding. I don't believe i fit into anything but the grand scheme of things, I don't think I have a grander role to play, than that of a good friend to those who know me. And that's ... it... i suppose. I'm here, because I'm me!

Tomorrow: day 4: how I think my life would change if I achieved my dream

day 2: something that's illegal but i think it should be legal

2011-01-12T12:31:00.001-08:00

Yesterday: day 1: hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture.

day 2: something that?s illegal but i think it should be legal,
Hmm that's a tough one.The problem is that I can easily understand a lot of our current laws, most of them makes sense. But I can think of a few one that're stupid as hell!
Here in Denmark we have a mask-ban, it's seriously illegal to wear something which you could use to cover your face with, if the police thinks you're going to a rally! I've got a friend who were in Svendborg during the COP15 meetings in Copenhagen and he got a fine for wearing a scarf, which he could've used to cover his face, because they thought he was going to Copenhagen!

There's more tho, much more, I just don't have the mind for writing anymore right now :p But chek in tomorrow. ^^

Tomorrow, day 3:what I think my reason for being here is.

day 1: hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture.

2011-01-11T09:06:00.000-08:00

Even starting on this project I know I'll probably fail, mainly because
I, hopefully, won't have access to a computer every day, but I'll figure
something out. Because this is a very cool challenge.

So today is about my hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days. Hmm
I don't give much for dreams anymore, had plenty of those when I was
younger, and none of them really worked out, and besides, I find it's
better to plan than dream. Hope, on the other hand, is very important. I
just don't know what mine are :b I don't have any grand hopes, or
dreams. I do, however, have plans.

I've planned to apply to the university again, and, hopefully, finish
what I start this time. Not only because I need something to do, and I
really do, I'm getting inscreasingly excentric. But also because I've
realized that it's my one big interest. I'm still on the edge about
History/Archaeology and, if History, Odense/Aarhus, but it'll probably
be History and Odense :b

I hope we'll be able to make more viking-trips during the next 365 days,
and we better start as soon as possible :p I hope our group, will get
some more... coherency. I hope people, everyone really, will get some
more sense of the world. prioritize a little different and start to
think of other people. There's too much self-indulgence :s Too little
respect and self-sacrifice.

Mhm, think that's about it really.
No... wait... the picture.

[img]http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/5550/picture0041e.jpg[/img]

Oh yes, and I really do hope for a little brighter tomorrow >.> today
has been very bleak.

tomorrow, [b]day 2: something that?s illegal but I think it should be
legal[/b].

I'm very afraid!

2010-05-05T14:44:00.000-07:00

I havnt been blogging as much as I'd have liked to lately, and somehow i think it's tied to the Monster, from under the bed. Once i wrote a piece about how killing your Monster might make you loose your imagination, and i kinda think thats what happened to me.
Dont worry i havent killed him, he's just been very ill of late, it seems. There's several reasons. I've been busy, I've actually begun to have a life seperate from my bed. It seems to be a good thing, but when i loose so much of myself i begin to wonder. Of course there are some things wouldn't change for the life of me. But I'd like to be able to summon back my mad mental self >.>

Phew.

2009-09-07T14:21:00.001-07:00

So. It's been way too long since I last wrote something - I am really
trying to get my life in some sort of non-fluid order. It's not because
I'm not alright, I'm doing fine actually, but my life isn't really going
the way it's supposed to :p

Anywho - just a quick update. I've 'loaded some more photos on my devArt
account and ill redo my portfolio on my website soon.

I've just come home from work and I found out that the Monster, from
under my bed, has had a party with the piscies while I was away. I tell
you, never leave your house in the hands of a under-bed-living Monster.
But then again, I am prone to making bad decisions because of my lack of
sleep. That is, however, something I will be ratifing in the next couple
of hours.

Once again I feel I have to applaude the genious of Mr. Gaiman. HE IS A
GENIUS! Thanks for reading :)

Su Pleh!

I've just had the most brilliant conversation with the Monster living
under my bed. He says "hello".

The very first sted to losing your imagination is killing the Monster
under your bed, the one living in the cupboard or inside the closet.
It's a shame. It really really really is...

Oh and by the way - Coraline is probably the most fantastic film ever!

First "a-pic-a-week"

2009-05-24T22:20:00.000-07:00

'Morning folks, this is to be my first entry in the a pic a week project. Uh getting a weird feeling in my stomach, but then again, that might be because of my excessive consumption of coffee. Oh, and by the way, I havn't slept yet.

And so - with coffee on my mind, in my gut and blood (glud?) - there it is; my monday-ish picture.

finally!

2009-05-24T13:55:00.001-07:00

I finally found a use for this blog. I surfed around a little ealier
this evening and I wound up at Kyle Cassidy's website
(http://www.kylecassidy.com/) and then found his "a picture a
week"-thingy (http://www.kylecassidy.com/images/paw/paw/) and... well
thats what I'm gonna use this blog for :D

Anywho - I'll start later, AND I urge who-so-ever read this to join in
and have fun :D uh uh uh and write me ;D

Good morning big bright shiny blob in the sky!

2009-05-19T23:02:00.001-07:00

Here I'm sitting in front of my computer, skyclad, eating my eggs &
drinking my coffee. Not really sure how I feel about people walking on
the street seeing me in the nudd - as it were.

Hah - anyways, I'll just crawl back below the covers with my newest
Discworld novel, sleep a few hours and talk to the bank later. Uh uh uh
uh - got the afternoon off today -and- it's a holiday tomorrow :D pure
awesomness, pity I have to work friday tho'.

I urge you to check out my photos at devART:
