Christmas

The Christmas-tiding brings a lot of good things, it’s a magical time that brings families together and makes them cozy up in front of the fire. But unfortunately for us the Christmas time brings one more thing... commercials and a lot of them – are you kidding me!

Just because the earth is finishing it’s rotation around the sun, and the year is coming to a natural end, does not give the companies the right to rape my mailbox!

I heard that the second most published book, after the bible, is the Ikea-catalog – Are you kidding me! I seriously think we should find the guy that thinks the Ikea-catalog should be a book and have him committed to a mental institution – It’s properly a Swede!

In the old days Christmas meant that the snow lay as tall as mountains, so everybody would be snowed in while the family cozied up in front of the fire Christmas Eve, at least that’s what grandpa use to say. First, I’ve never understood why grandpa thought snowing is cozy, and thank God global warming is taking care of that.

But I really do think that the increase of the commerciality on Christmas is destroying that warm fuzzy feeling of the holidays. So why isn’t it illegal to promote Christmas shopping, especially at the start of October?! – That way Christmas would still be special!

What happened to Christmas as we knew it? You know that white powder covering the streets, light bulbs covering the rooftops, people singing happily, Santa in a red outfit doing his ho ho ho – You know like we see in the Coke Cola commercial!

That being said I wish everybody happy holidays! ;)

Until next time

Global Warming

In Scandinavia it’s snowing and real real cold. It's worse than we've seen in many years, and I think this would be a good time to touch the subject of Global Warming.

I've gotta admit, right now global warming seems like a... very good idea. It’s ridiculously  cold, so call me an ass, but right now some warmer weather doesn’t seam like a bad idea in my head. If you ask me, the problem is that it's just not news anymore – And that's a problem the hippies regular try to fix... Thanks a lot Al Core on that by the way.

Now I know it’s a very serious problem, that we are killing the planet in a rate that makes ‘Friends’ look like fun hour. Now you can call me weird, but somehow a possible war between North and South Korea just seems a bit more important to me right now.

We can all agree there is a problem, but we also to agree on a solution. And to quote a sage “We don’t know enough about what we’re dealing with, to make any kind of intelligent decision.”

There are a lot of ideas on what to do, but we need one clear direction. Because people, this is our planet, we get one chance on it, and only one chance to save it.

We should find one primary plan and several back-up plans to make sure the direction we’ve chosen, is the right direction into the future.

Because I want my kids, and my children's kids, to wake up in the world of tomorrow and not fear the high point of the summer, the low point of the winter or the crashing tide of the rising waters in the world. Now we are all made up of bricks from the past; And I propose that in honor of those who came before us an in love for those who come after us, let us do what's right for our planet, let us build a safe foundation for the future!

Until next time
