All that I had, is all I'm gon' get

Playing en route in my headphones these days. The Twilight-movies have great soundtracks, and there ain't no way of denying it, regardless of how much you might loath the films.

Det ekar över hela staden

Now I'll be off up north for a few days somewhat unexpectedly, got a few things to sort out which means I'll be missing out on a few happenings in the city. Could be good to get a bit of distance I guess (at least I won't be able to shop away all my money this way which is basically what I've been up to lately). Time to get some soulsearch done. See you in a bit!

Haven.

 

Välkommen In - Veronica Maggio

To my bestest of friends because I wish you all the joy (:

Invictus

I saw this movie a few days ago with my brother and it was pretty emotional, I really liked it. Movies are supposed to move. If you ever have a spare pair of hours I strongly recommend you watch it. Not only does the music remind of the long-loved Disney classic "The Lion King", but it has plenty of content without being overly heavy for that matter. Another very valid reason to watch it would be getting to hear Morgan Freeman interpret the poem "Invictus", this could however also be done just by searching for it on youtube. It's a very good poem, I must say. Something I might actually want to ink myself with someday...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley (1848-1903),

My Heart Is Refusing Me

My Heart Is Refusing Me - Loreen

I couldn't believe it when I read this girl competed in the Swedish Melody Festival to get to Eurovision. I usually don't connect the competitors in that contest with true talent, I guess I'll have to watch my tongue in the future. That she didn't win is however no news to me, of course she couldn't win, Sweden and Europe don't want originality.

Only love, Amy Winehouse

D*mn, what is up with this whole dead at 27-thing? I agree with what Big Boi from Outcast twittered today "Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and now Amy Winehouse. All died aged 27. RIP to you all."

I've never really properly listened to Amy Winehouse's music, but realised how good she was this spring when I was googling Cockney accents and ended up watching a few of her interviews and videos instead. Man, is her voice incredible! She sure seemed like a cool person, someone to look up to, despite her drug-problems. Why? She seems like someone who'd stand her ground no matter what.

Cheers Amy

Rest in peace

Waaah!!!

I look like a bloody mongrel. Something (probably a mosquito) bit me 5 times just below my eyebrow this Monday so I had to attend my job tryout yesterday looking like Shrek! No jokes! It stings like f'ck and I just want it to bloody go away, but it almost seems infected. I mean, why else would it last for such a long time? Stubborn f'ck!

Heh, okay. I'll get back to you blog, I just felt like airing my frustration online. (Feels slightly new)
