Ah, European Union what have you voted for?

I am writing about the swedish POV
This morning on the television a panel of entertainment talked about the results of the vote, that it is a rememberable front page of the evening newspaper that shows a photograph of the FI party with a yes on the left side and a photograph of the SD party with a No! on the right side. FI stands for human rights you may say and is all for gender equality and will fight for the female paychecks to rise up to the mens paycheck.  SD stands for nationality and they have accountants that do counting on the travellers into the country and I think SD also wants to have more borders to the nation so the nation can take care of itself. The evening newspaper said Yes to that FI party of humanity got places into the EU as well as a big No to that SD, the nationalist party got places into the EU. I would have voted FI of course. Because I am worried about these nationalists that come through because it is mostly angry young men and have they really thought it through?
I see a lack of humanity. It all goes so fast and you want things now, now  now. If we all got what we wanted now, what else is there to wish for?
The panel on the morning television talk about the lack of an entertainment parti in the EU - European Union - like, I wonder does any country/ United States have an entertaiment guided parti? There are the right and the left and the ones in between. An entertainment party would get many voters because the theatre, books, litterature, films, music, tv is a part of everyones life. Wouldn´t that be great?
But the politics is all about the money.

I wish the capitalists would come to their senses and realize that there is more to life than money.

There is food and environment. What will one extra coin in your pocket do for you when the food you eat is poisoned by antibiotics or that bees died so the food production stopped because we can not get any grains if not nature pollinates and if it not rains in the right place. Where are the clouds? Where do they come from? It is said that they forms over the rainforest. part of them does. Save the rainforest then.

Actually meditation

- It´s a New Age thing.
- No, it isn't, its as old as time itself.
- I disagree it is flower power stuff
- Are you kidding me?
- Well isn't it?
- Meditation is to be aware of the present, now, be kind to yourself and others. It has ethics that you should follow  too
- Yeah that sounds like flower power oohh meditate hear the bell ring
- Will you shut your face, if you are to misbehave I will not speak to you. (did I say that out loud?)
- Feisty, here take a joint.
- I don't smoke, it is mere toxic... I think I feel about smoking the same way you feel about meditation dear. The opposite attract - attend - attention - attraherar? (translation needed)

Meditation is a new age thing like flower power is it not?
No it's an old way from before our time counting to become aware, to reach the enligthenment and Nirvana  

Talkshow host, as a job?

Guilty pleasures - there are a couple of good talkshows nowadays too. I did not live to see Johnny Carson, but I have seen David Letterman as a youngster as well as Oprah. She rule the world of talkshow hosting, to bad of her retirement, but there are reruns too see or join the book club just for getting some education. As I am now past my University age I have found the Late late show of Craig Ferguson to entertain those dreadful days, it is sure an old school telly host ´cause he treats the audience a different a way friendly some odd way. A shining star in the night time television sky, although it's a different timeslot in my region of Scandinavia. It look so easy to be a talkshow host, but is it?
Fun. What is funny haha? Yes comedy gold is mr Brian Blessed methinks. One of many funny men.Them you recognize yourself in, some phrase that is yes I too feel I shouldn´t be here. How odd to hear another express just that but in a place where I would have enjoyed to be part of the audience just perhaps. well here it is the compilation Blessed. What amaze me is how some personas just don't get embarrassed. I'm an ultra shy girl - woman. The opposite, a loud streetsmart talking is what I find very likeable. Yes, I liked Flash Gordon the movie as I so adored Timothy Dalton and the original soundtrack of Queen made it a great film but thats another story.
Cheers!

What kind of nerd are you?

Ye I wonder sometimes the same thing. It depends on my mood. I have affection for old time movies those that were made before the second world war but after the first world war so its those movies that are from 1920-1939 something. But then after that WW2 came light television -60, -70 the flowerpower era.
There has always been entertainment for the people. It started with the romans gladiator games or before that with the ancient greeks and before that before the people knew how to write down history it all happened in public entertainment. I have my favourite films one is The Scarlet Pimpernel(1934) with Leslie Howard as the sir Percy Blakeney.  It tells a lovestory with the background of the French revolution and it is also the man behind the mask and dangerous escapades.

Come to think of it it tells of the end of a Kingdom that turned from monarchy to republic. Its nothing romantic with politics really but I watch it for the strong actors. The Scarlet Pimpernel is a very good film that stands the test of time.

This story has been made over and over. I like the TV-serie made with R E G and the film from 1982 because Chauvelain is then played by mr Gandalf! whats his name? sir Ian McKellen! as a baddie.
Now awaiting the musical of The Scarlet Pimpernel that has been said to be filmatized with Douglas Sills in the lead, he played it on Broadway, though I doubt it be good translated into film those direct on stage jokes he then made.

I'm trying to not be

aware

This is not working for me. I heard from my colleague to-day about how much rubbish that is thrown into the  Östersjön. That small unique part of lake that is between Sweden and Finland, baltikum, Denmark, Germany and Poland, that lake has had waste sunken on purpose into it since the year 1800 something. And still to this day the ferries, boats that goes on daily basis on their route between the countries next to this big in lake throws stuff overboard I heard from this diving man. And its so awful. I feel bad for the fish. I feel bad for mother nature. I feel sorry for the next generation that will have such toxic water that it is life treathening danger to bathe, take a swim and forget about drinking the water in the Future to come. It is too late now. What can we do other than wait for doomsday on this half of the millennium? 

- Party? 

- I wish I could stop thinking about that toxic waste, that forgotten torpedo on the floor of the ocean, the sunken ship with dangerous cargo, all those boats that are left to rot also in the deep. 

- Can´t we start the process of making amends? 

- It will only take 15000 men some hundred thousand years to clean up that mess on the bottom. 

- Oh. Thats alot of jobs then...

- Here under the bridge, do you know what to find there?

- No
- Bicycles. People throw their old bicycles over the bridge in the nighttime just to get rid of it and then report it stolen to the police and get the money.
- No really?
nedskräpningen av östersjön må tas på allvar. På hemsidan Hållbara hav finns mera info.

Tomorrow I love ya

I saw this film the other day for the first time. The song Tomorrow caught my heart. to look forward to the tomorrow that hopefully will be better. I like that. More optimism needed in this world today. The Annie film is an oldie now. How would today or tomorrows lyrics be like? Is all the good songs already written?
Cheers!

So this is it

   This weekend I have been quite spending, it cost me some money to buy waterbased oil paint for my next painting project. I have another portrait order to get done which Im happy that I have some more than 3 months on, it might even get better than the last one when I now have more time for sketching.

I was in town, that is Stockholm anyway because of the Woman Independence day? No just 8 March Saturday I was in on a small demostration for the hospital nurse - midwifes of Stockholm that has too much to do really and they are too few so the demo was to enlight the midwifes situation on this years Womens day. After my shopping I went home to the kitchen and spent 3hours making pie, sallads and chocolate cake   for supper. If I had planned thins I might even had a small gathering in the evening, but I am not that good at planning things yet. I thought to myself another time will be the soire and teaparty time. Another time.     

   Next week is to me very important things happening. I am to go to a job interview on Tuesday afternoon and that would mean an end to a full year of unemployment if I get the job... as a cleaning lady.
But before that the same day I have the writing test for the drivers license. So thats ok, from having nothing to do really to a crammed day becoz in the evening time Tusedays I have been going to the bokföringskursen in English accountant class? where kredit and debit is counted for. Americans apparently like a seven day count for the incomes, and the swedes is all for the balance to get right. Because it has to be even what goes in as comes out? However that makes successful companies one wonders. Anyhow to someday start my own company I thought I had to get a hand of this counting money thing, apparently its good for the taxes that is due to fill in now before 1 of May. Paperwork for every citizen of age with income of some kind. Come to think of it I hate paperwork but at the same time I'm into numbers. The magic of it. How a sum of numbers can turn into things. I still wonder about it. I miss the old days which was when I was just a child carefree, had my nextdoor neighbour to play with everyday and not worrying about how will I get money for the rent, food and the life I want to live. Do you really need money I wonder?
