Vårvinterns fåglar

Den 3 mars var det en flock Sidensvansar(Bombycilla garrulus) som samlades i ett träd, ett par ringduvor (Columba palumbus)kuttrade i ett annat träd och en Skata(pica pica)satt i sitt eget träd- ett alträd tror jag.

Remember the fifth of november

I don't know why but its said that Guy Fawkes was the last man to go into parliament with honest

intentions. In the film V for Vendetta there is a conspiracy waiting to happen quite like in the

Mr Robot storyline has some kind of a thing against the powerful in society.  A guy is standing up

against evil men.

Light a bonfire why don't you?

If there was something to do thinking about this passed months revelations for a better future
more education is needed in the subject of equality, and love is needed and more respect.

My story on #me too happened years ago but is still fresh in memory
when this man tried to kiss me against my will I slapped him in the face.
And he stopped trying further. I told him that was wrong of him. If he´d like a kiss he must ask first.
Then I walked away.

News of the fall

Environment:
The iceberg size of Washington DC has left Antartica. It's climate changes.

Film:
Rami Malek. as mr Freddie Mercury in a film to come 2018.


Freddie Mercury should have been 71 y old if he´d lived today.

Serie: Lookin forward to see new season of Mr. Robot that start next sunday.
Late to the admiration of Fargo, I´ve seen season 1 and it´s strange fascination considering it to have been a true story all that blood and gore. It amazes me what a man do to not tell the truth and the truth will come out in the end.

Nobel peace prize 2017: will go to ICAN - an organization against nuclear weapon that is International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. Guess what country has not signed the deal in the UN about being against nuclear weapon? Sweden.

 (the YT clip above shows a scene from Äppelkriget (the war of the apples) 1971 )
Hans Alfredson: The funeral is set to next friday, 13... did he have a joke about that? A well known swedish writer, director and actor has left life on Earth. Maybe sitting on the dock of the bay with his chum

Tage Danielsson that left too soon if you believe in angels and heaven and stuff. And Gösta Ekman left earlier this summer. Remember Fröken fleggmans mustascher, also very good comedy.










This was some good news/bad news

Have you noticed anything of it before?

It´s rainin

Some music with the word rain in it. Each song reminds me of someone, like there´s a someone per song that is not here anymore

Rainin' with Bobby Darin was released 1966

Purple Rain with Prince or the Artist was released 25june 1984 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3LHatq2u4k

Buddy Guy released It feels like rain 9th of march 1993 and performed it with John Mayer 2014
the guitar playing ends in this video with a children's song I believe is called Mary had a little lamb in a nice harmony.

Do you know or love music for the lyrics alone? Are there more rainy songs or other weathers?
I wonder...

in the news

Pope Francis told in an interview about recent events that the religion is not to blame for all of the bad

things happening. It is the others fault. The world is at war because it has lost its peace.  to avoid any 

misunderstanding:

Quote:  “I would just like to add one more thing by way of clarification: when I speak of 

war, I mean real war, not religious war I speak of a war of interests, over money, nature’s 

resources and the domination of peoples.” 

“I do no speak of a religious war. Religions,” he, Pope Francis, concluded, “all religions, 

seek peace. It’s others who want war. Understand?

I like that finishing line Capisce? or Do you understand? (If you look at the video of the interview the Pope speaks in italian/spanish)

Thinking

There is a sentence I have returned to think of lately and I do not know the correct

 translation for it. It's a sentence from the play Ett drömspel  A Dream Play by 

August Strindberg(1849-1912). 

"Det är synd om människorna" says Indras daughter to her father upon the return 

home from a visit to Earth. At first before being to Earth, she is hopeful that love 

will conquer all, but after she listens to the anguished cries of humanity, 

experiences the pain of family life, and discovers that reform always will be stifled 

by the self-righteous, she can look on humanity only with compassion. She finally 

realizes that human beings are creatures who hopelessly harbor spiritual 

aspirations but are held down by the weight of their fleshly existence.

I come to the sentence "Poor Youth", in an english translation of the work, which 

is close enough. 

Det är synd om människorna - direct translation word by word - 

It is pitiful about humanity. That is what the daughter of Indra repeats in the play. 

Indra is apparently God from India. So August Strindberg must have read about 

other religions during his lifetime. The writer is known for his paintings of a 

stormy sea and dark clouds, and his books and his participation in the society of 

manly men, smoking cigarr, drinking and being angry. 

This is the mad writers dream done into a play, he was mad it's 

written down. It was a bewildering play for his time, with the not correct way of 

telling a tale. 

I have added to my films to watch list Ett drömspel (1963) by Ingmar Bergman

 becoz I don't fell like reading, which is a shame. Shame maybe 

even better translation of the swedish word synd. It's a shame about humanity. 

Like the godess return home to his father and says 'I visited Earth and oh boy it's, 

I feel sorry for them.' She feel pity and goes from feeling so hopeful to being 

disappointed. Lesson learned may be keep your expectations at an all time low.

(The title Ett Drömspel could also mean A game of dreaming, 

most swedish words have double nature meanings, it's hard to translate anything)

Anyhow. That string of words has come to mind last week, 

a play writers words Det är synd om människorna that could be translated to

 It's a shame about humanity or maybe even Poor souls. 

After have seen some of the YT of Comic con and I can say this. I am looking 

forward to the TV serie American Gods, I 've just read the book by Neil Gaiman 

and to see it becoming film is amazing. 

It started 8 years ago and will soon be 15 episodes, Sherlock.

Then I don't know about what otherwise was presented at the comic con

I just stop and stared at Jared Leto becoz I've had his pic from an OK magazine 

since I was tiny and now he plays the Joker in a film which name escapes me but 

I'll see it. 

"I dream therefore I exist"   August Strindberg

Now I know three songs with pressure in it

and these three songs comes with different background stories and the word pressure is used in very

different meanings depending on from which time they're written. Don't you think that a word has

different meaning depending on in which time and space it is told?


Firstly came Under pressure(1981) by David Bowie and Queen/ Freddie Mercury,

and it became a hit  song in the 1980's.

It's about love and why can't we give ourselves one more chance and it's about

the whole world. During that time when Under pressure was written the Berlin Wall was still up as a

reminder of the 2nd world war,

I was in Berlin this May 2016 and and some of the wall is still there to this day(most of it was destroyed 9 sept 1989) to remind about that war and it is now there for tourists to take a look at and it seems harmless when it's just some broken wall but back in the day there was watchtowers and soldiers shooting those trespassing. And although that wall was there still people could go through, escaping from communist east to west.  

Freddie Mercury and David Bowie wrote the lyrics, improvised the song.


then I heard Pressure by Ylvis in 2012, (see that I'm ignoring the Vanilla Ice cover song?)

This is a rap with lyrics about put the right amount of pressure on it, 'cause you gotta know how to,

like you're in control, the funny lyrics turn into the meaning of the pressure of the weather, which fits

the Norweigan boys, talk about the weather is a daily business.

and today I heard No pressure with Ray Lamontagne, it seems to have been released this year ,

20 jan 2016.  The song is about how he doesn't want to see his loved one crying. It's rock n' roll and

that soothing voice of Ray. Anything you want to be you can be. It says not when it was written but

it's released like ten days after Bowies passing so I'm thinking about that.

And that is three songs about pressure that I've heard of. Cheers!

No one is in Control said Zygmunt

In the news

 recently read about the election of Austria new leadership. I read the day before that the bad man

won so then I felt surprised and glad that it was not so the day after. So close between the rightwing

Norbert Hofer and an environmentalist Alexander Van Der Bellen. Alas, nature won over the strong

opinions from an angry man(and also almost 50% of the voters)

The article about the election in Austria tells me that two other European countries has a extrem

right leadership already, which is something to worry about. If you didn't care before I mean,

connected to this is the man whom visited Stockholm ten days ago, a man that has a lot to say about

the human society For me other news is Zygmunt Bauman, 91years old, is still alive,

a short interview is available on SVT (Swedish television), I so could have been listening to him IRL

if I wasn't jetlagged from the Berlin trip and happy to be home in the garden that sunday. I could go

on and on about how beautiful that city was and also filled with heavy memorabilia from the war, but

also green and bohemia that like vegan and bio-markets, its more to choose from that in Stockholm,

ecological and arts, picnic in the park. I've

seen the remains of the Wall that has so many songs written about it from like the Who, Bowie, Ebba

Grön to name a few. I left Berlin with memos from contemporary art and In the Hauptbahnhof museo

there was a video room where Cate Blanchett played 13 different characters that were synched in

moments, called Manifesto, I visited with my mates the site, Teufelsberg were some scenes had

been recorded with a view over Berlin. It was amazing abandoned but still entrance fee and graffiti

all over the place... [insert pictures here/link to album]

The old man that is Zygmunt tells about how evil has spread into society more broad then before,

and how technology has changed our society. His english speaking voice reminds me of

that of Count Dracula in Bram Stokers Dracula(1991), the way Gary Oldman talks.

To look at the swedish society shows really how things

are with a computerized wealthy place how the nature of sociability has become less and

more people are more stressed out and sure we are more connected online with cellphones

but at the same time more unavailable because of it.

He talked about power and politics. Power means make things done. The politics are there for to

decide what to be done. No one is in control. Things happen randomly.

What will the future be? There is always hope. Hope, yeah.

I like that the green party, the environmentalist won in Austria. There is still hope of a better future. 


Folklore: yesterday I read that Loki(Loke/Lodur) was the one that named Saturday/Lördag in

Swedish/northern society before the Christianity decided to change it. They kept the holy beings of

Sun(Sol), Moon(Måne), Tyr, Oden, Tor and Feja as naming the weekdays.

So it was OK to have the warrior God Tyr, God of wisdom and death Odin, God of Thunder and

Freja - the godess of love for friday but no to Loki, the giant creative/destructive (also most human

force) because the day in the roman calendar was Saturnus, so close to satan.

The church had a meeting the year 1153 in Nidaros and decided to change what for the priesthood

sounded like a satanic Lodursday to Laugardagen (a washing up/holy water day) for it to sound

alike. So what was taught in school was a lie. The Seventh day is no longer bathing day

it is Loki day.

I wonder how much more little lies there are written in books. I dare not think about it. 



No one is in control... 

but the people voted Ukraine to win ESC2016. 

"I could not spend my youth there

Because you took away my land

I couldn't have my homeland" 

translation of the difficult crimean tartar refrain

words the story of the singers aunt/ or grandma? 

and it is not political? It resonated with many anyhow.

The one with the remote control got the power. Sad but true.
