Ricky Gervais thanked God for making him an Atheist on the Golden Globes a couple of years ago. It's all online for anyone to see for anytime amusement. There are so much fun to see anytime, anywhere if you got a connection to the world wide web somehow through a cellular phone or smart phone or ipad or computer device, apparently a Apple watch would suffice for you to get the latest news or whatever you wish for from the messages, why not get stress for being so up to date and always available? As I bicycled through the park on my way home from the store I saw this two young girls sitting in the grass on a blanket dressed like teens in hiphop-stylish outfits. They could be just sunbathing or talk gossip with each other but I got amazed that both girls lay there beside each other fingering on a smartphone of some sort. Each in their own world. What is the matter with the world today? I say phone away. I mean throw away that devlish thing that so overtake the eyesight of young people. Ok I'm old. Meeting with another person is eye to eye and talk, reminisce and so fort. I would not gaze for another like or whatnot in that meeting with my girlfriend. When I was young we interacted all the time because the cellphone was not mainstream. I did not own one until like 15? And I am glad I didn't have it then now. All kinds of trouble - thinking phone youngsters adult - it can do. It was not there, therefor it is not missed. One part of me appreciate the way the technology moves forward and because of it humans may come more together as the new technology gets cleaner and free and supposedly mankind will be able to survive the fact that the world is getting overpopulated and therefor over production won't matter as there might be needed fewer things in the future. One must hope that the saying less is more will come into everyones mind. The ecological footprint for the rich countries is bad enough so that one hopes that the other part will not get all the rich peoples things because then there so would be too much products world wide. I'm sad for all the trash that has been thrown in the ocean. That I learned from QI se05 ep01. You live you learn. There are truths to be told in the comedy. Serious matters gets a bit of space needed and people learn about themselves through it. The laughter is joyful because of the recognition of "I have been there" or "I've done that too" or just how funny that man fell over. I laugh at the unexpected and absurd situations. Have a laugh a day, thats the best medicine? There is so much to be thankful for and that's that. I've read a lot of self-help stuff but the only thing that fits is the buddhist way methinks.
- I saw a bird flying away with a worm in its mouth today.
- Don't you mean that you saw a bird with a snake in its mouth today?
- No, what is it with you and all these double entendres?
Sade - No ordinary Love Wondering about storytelling? Me too. I prefer to leave space for imagination, fill in the character for urself. Is it a man to man conversation? Or it two old ladies? Or a boy to a girl? I don't know. But the story changes by the character. By who says this or that. Whispering or talk it out loud. And how is it said? Is it in a bedroom or outdoors? Where is it said. In a pub between two personas or walking in the park But I prefer to leave it open like a poem, like a comic line sort of whatisitcalled? Oneliner. Short poem or Short storytelling? Short snort Short snort? Yeah short snorting of laughter story (if that is a word in english language)
But it isn't funny. If you can't hear the way it's said it isn't funny. Jokes are a visual experience are they not?
- Today it is time to remember the bomb that fell over Hiroshima 70 years ago.
It is all over the twitter. You can see interview of some of the survivors on the BBC News.
- Who cares? That something happened so long ago. A world war will never happen again.
We have learned our lesson. Thanks Einstein, inventor of the atom bomb. It stopped the war.
- No it didn't! It just made the Japan surrender to the Americans. Then the cold war was holding Sovjet and America on the edge. Then the war did not end until recently, when the Berlin wall fell down.
- But that was 1990's it is at least 25 years ago?
- Yes it is that recently. As a environmental interested I see the years as seconds or less.
The beginning of the universe was a long time ago. The dinosaurs happened some time ago.
The age of the human race is a fart. A loud fart and since the invention of the nuclear power plants and freons a quite smelly and toxic fart for mother Earth.
You can see interviews of the survivors of Hiroshima on various news sites. It really happened. A 6km diameter wide cloud was seen from the place that bomb was dropped. All over the streets people ran for their lives. A doctor that saw that cloud went into the Hiroshima hospital tent to help the burned victims. He layed bandages and whatnot on the patients to soothe, heal and treated thousand patients that day, couple of weeks later all was dead and the doctor chose to quit his job. Haunted by the day the bomb fell he can remember and tell about it to the camera photographer 70years on.
Don't mention the war. I began school as the wall fell down. I still remember the poster on the door in my first classroom. I saw the date of Berlin wall fallin, apparently it was an accident that made the reporter/ politician was it? tell everyone to smash it down. A lucky misinterpretation of the television viewers made people gather to take the wall down brick for brick Nov 9. 1989. That is when the war ended methinks.
In Sweden we have had this weekend some people gathering to take down the Sweden Democrats commercial for against the immigration, about 12000 people signed up for going to demonstrate against the right winged rather unnecessary commercial banderolls telling about how beggars are unwanted in Sweden. People need to be. One says why are we to have them Romanians here to sit and beg for money to get a ticket to go home again. They did not sit and beg for money here before. What are they doing here on our streets, begin for money instead of being in their home country working? What is it that doesn't work in Romania? Why Sweden democrats? What is wrong with some people?
The Japanese has worked 70years for Peace. No anger, just sorrow. There is a peace concert in Hiroshima now in 2015.
I wonder if they will play John Lennons - Imagine?
Hey Donald D'ck, guess what I'm on about? Kalle Anka, Mr Kalle Trump skulle det kunnat vara, oh thats funny. I saw the BBC News this morning how a lady reporter went through the buildingsite for Rio Olympics with the mayor. It is not yet finished, for London Olympics were one year ahead of the big games for the sportsmen to practice in the readymade arenas. I was appalled to learn that so much dirt is let out into the water freely in the city Rio, it is sad for the Environment that there is bad cleaning support system over there. The plastic man Boyan Slat is amazing. Now someone need to invent better filter system for water. A big poopa scoopa before the Olympics in Rio. Wait it already exist? Most rich countries have good sewer system, for example Paris have that wondrous tunnel for cleaning. Why shouldn't Rio? If people cared they would summon the effort needed for getting the game on cleaner. Fresh water. How on Earth will one get fresh water in ten years time? Can you imaging to have to pay for a drop of water? It's raining here today..

Juegos Olímpicos de 2016 en Río
Río Os parece ser una sucia. El agua no es potable. En Suecia es hasta ahora el agua dulce pero es sólo 1 millón de habitantes en Estocolmo como parte del agua. Cada municipio tiene plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales, cada lago cuenta con plantas de tratamiento de agua en Suecia. Es importante disponer de agua limpia para la higiene y los tiempos. Estoy preocupado por la cantidad de personas estarán en la ciudad de Río, cómo van a hacer frente a la higiene cuando los residentes de la ciudad hoy en día no puede hacerlo. para volcar las heces directamente al mar sin limpiar obras son absurdas.
2014 se jugó el Mundial de Fútbol en Río, ya que la ciudad tiene para ella, pero los Juegos Olímpicos son también deportes acuáticos como canotaje, natación y piragüismo, que requiere agua limpia.
Deben los deportes acuáticos se pueden establecer para la seguridad en los Juegos Olímpicos en el 2016? la ciudad de Río no aprende purificado agua en un año, si se produce, no un milagro. El agua en el lago Vallentuna cerca de donde yo vivo no ha sido capaz de convertirse en saludable pesar de décadas de intentos de limpiar el lago poco profundo. En Suecia, tenemos la palabra moderación.

Yo nunca he estado en América del Sur, pero mi corazón late por la selva, por cada árbol talado, me muero un poco. Es pulmones selva tropical de la Madre Tierra. Quiero dejar de comprar soja si eso ayuda, pero la mayoría es la demanda china de soja que controlan el mercado.
Muchos arroyos pequeños que conducen a un río importante, dejar de selva tropical devastadora de lo contrario vengar la madre tierra. No, ella va a estar bien, en cualquier caso, pero es una lástima que el hombre...

Desportos aquáticos deve ser definido para a segurança nos Jogos Olímpicos em 2016? a cidade de Rio aprende água purificada em um ano, se ocorrer, não um milagre.

parar de floresta tropical devastadora caso contrário vingar a Mãe Terra. não, ela vai ficar bem em qualquer caso, mas é uma pena que o homem...
Yep, you worry if you do and you worry if you don't.
I so do not care for what the politicians say, listened to this song by Sting & the Police
which I agree with
Lyrics goes like (without the do de dahs) I don't care for the politicians.
I check out the lyrics and this verse I was thinking of
Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no one's jamming their transmission
And when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and wraps you
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
Then the song ends with words are meaningless and that I think not is, do de da doesn't mean anything. But funnily enough many lyrics have been written rather indirect political agenda like Some Beatles songs are very wordly political oriented (now Hey Jude is not about the Jew but it was it translates to in Swedish) My fav Beatles song is Come together because it has that kind of a zing to it or it is the News song I like better - A day in the life is good song too. Another person that has written songs a little bit under the influence is Cornelis Vreeswijk, he was from Holland originally but he has become a Swedish national bard, his songs have been sung by every school children (at least when I went there some years ago) I had this idea of translating his music to english and found out that he has already done the opposite he translated some verses from English to Swedish but he did it with his words and twisted them to be entertaining. Incestvisan that he translated he got awarded a prize for from a swedish female magazine for have written the most horrible manschauvinistiska song that year. That it was about incest was enough for him to get the award but then he told that the original writer of the song was female Buffy Saint Marie, that he Cornelis himself talked to and got permission to translate the song from her: The incest song, that she learned from her grandmother, a real navajoindian. Then Cornelis sings the song all ends well since there been some misunderstanding in the family about who was who's father... So one can look into more information thanks to the internet and Buffy is still touring the world, apparently she wrote the song "Up where we belong" that became a film soundtrack for "An officer and a gentleman" which is Richard Gere like, that´s my grandmothers favorite actor. So one comes from politicians I care not for to, to the things one do care about, family. That scene is so Simpsons now. Homer carries Marge through the toxic power plant, Its funny how the cartoons or animations so rule the world at the same time terrifying because a new generation has no recollection of that original screenplay. Education is therefor very important. Learn something new everyday why don't you? Do de da words meaningless up where we belong... Rest in peace, Vila i Frid, Robert Broberg, visans välgörare i Öken - Ajöken
- So how was dinner?
- Fine. It went swell everything Delicious, BBQ, sunny evening, red wine, whiskey,
- How was the company?
- Erm, well they are nice, really the girls are sweet but it's this one guy...
- What now?
- You see eventually the conversation comes to immigration and he has had a difficult time with close encounter with immigrants, that is he has been robbed and is a little bit angry at all of them thief's and after two drinks or more the whole anger? is let loose. So it was a nice dinner up until one point. Noone can make him calm, he wants you to agree with him but I can't. He talks like Mein Kampf and I don't know what to do really.
- Live for tomorrow, the future, remember the past and use what you learned about yesterday to make a better tomorrow.
- Immigrants my friend talked like Donald Trump, his arguments got to the level of Donald Trump talking about the mexicans. So out there, arguing for what against what? Could have change the subject somehow?
In recent daily news:Jon Stewart mocks Donald Trump for his stupidity/other point of view. It's entertaining.
The Dalai Lama hast turned 80 years of age and visited Glastonbury festival to celebrate with the people. Amazing.
It's snowing in Australia, Queensland for the first time since 1984.
The swedish professor Johan Rockström told all about it in his Sommarprat(summer speech/talk) July. 12 last week (swedish radio program where ordinary people and also celebs get to have one radioshow during the summertime, they get to tell their story for an hour and play their favorite music and the radioprogram goes on air for one and all swedes to listen to, interesting hosts sometimes, shitty music most times).
Basically I found out that I know most of how much in danger the earth is from doing my own research over the years, overconsumption and overuse of energy is big problem.
But I learned now that the centigrades is of much interest to keep low.
2 degrees above average and the ices will melt, rise of the sealevel
4 degrees above average and crops will die which will mean less food.
The north pole and south pole is kind of earths cooling system, the white snow and ice reflects most of the suns heat back out to space. The heat from our overuse of energy is taken by the sea, mother Earth will do just fine, but for us humans it is not looking so good. This generation is the last that can make a change, in 50 years time or by 2100 there must have been a change for the better.
I'm glad that the world leaders are about to meet and talk about global common goals for the wellbeing of the planet this year. I do hope they come to an agreement. There is not much time.
Stop usage of fossil fuels I tell you we can make it in a green way, sustainability. Like permaculture. Everything is politics you know. Even the pope cares about the climate now. OK? Good night sweetheart its time to go
- I saw that video of Avril Lavigne being sad about the doctor that laughed in her face instead of taking her serious. I've seen that kind of crying before so I know it was real tears and it hurts one to not be understood, to be overwhelmed by feelings when one has been stepped on. One feel sadness whenever one self has been used without consent. Now I wonder about why it had to become public.
- But of course it had to become public! Now it is possible to move forward in the struggle of lyme disease!
- What is lyme disease? (google translate lyme disease is : borrelia in swedish) Aha! Well of course that is true it is a worrysome time every summer as the ticks(fästingar) awake from their winter slumber. It's all over the news every spring, beware of the ticks and remember to get ur vaccination.
- You can get vaccinated against borrelia?
- NO, there is no protection against it, Borrelia is a germ or bacteria that has been on earth for millions of years, its one of the old diseases. But you can protect yourself against TBE which some ticks also carry around thats what the vaccine is for. And if you got Borrelia you can get medicine like antibiotics to stop it some what but be careful with getting not antibiotic unnecessary because them bacteria is starting to get multiresistent because of the overuse of it.
- Oh we're doomed. Nothing new under the sun. I think that's a saying from the bible. Ticks, how many ticks are there? Where are they?
- Do you remember the program "Mitt i Naturen" (in the middle of nature great swedish television show that explores nature) That handsome man walked in the woods with a white sheet and was deliriously happy over getting so many ticks on that white sheet to show you - the viewers - how the extraordinary ticks is hiding in the wide open in the woods.
- But my brother got borrelia (lyme- disease) just from a run around the lake?
- Yes the little fästing (tick) sit and wait on a grass straw for years until an animal or human passes by for it to jump on. So that is why you put on clothes when we're going to the forrest to pick chanterelles and blueberries. Socks on. Long legged trousers, long sleeves.
- And mosquito salva (cream) It hurts when the mosquito bites.
- Yes, when you're little it hurts more but as you get older you won´t feel it as much.
- I hate mosquitos, whatever are they good for? Whatever are the ticks good for?
- They have their place in nature for sure. Imagine a world without worries for the little things...
- I can't. I'm glad I don't have a cat anymore for the ticks did get into the bed then, from the cat being outdoors and then sleeping in my bed. Can you imagine what it's like for the dogs? Picking ticks of 'em all.
- Yes, poor animals. Have you seen the mango worms? Don't, it gives you nightmares.
So theres no cure for Borrelia(lyme) yet and it's older than most bacteria in nature. So basically nothing to worry about. I get maybe one or two ticks crawling on me every summer from walking in the woods or tall grass in Roslagen, Sweden. It has become a ritual to take the tick of carefully by its head with tweezers(pincett) and then burn it with a match into an ashtray of some sort(while laughing death in the face). Be cautious and notice if there is a red mark around the bite place on the skin couple of days later then it might be lyme disease.
Chill out it's summer! Go out pick blueberries with proper clothes on, walk the dog, do whatever.
