The bible should have provided more holidays

We are several days into the first month of the new year, and getting close to February as well. It has been tough to start a new year considering I have to attend a not so very inspiring job every bloody weekday. When I was waking up today I asked myself a very good question. Why are there no days off during the three first months in a year. Why do we have to wait until late April for just three lousy days during easter ?. I am not happy with the current government for this.

Come to think of it, there are several persons in the bible that sould get way more attention than they actually do. What if, for instance, Luke or Matthew died in January. Not many people know this...because we are not having a day off on that particularly day. Shame on the people who are in charge for all this.

So few days we are celebrating and so many we don`t. No wonder there are so much trouble in this world. I could have celebrated "walking on water day" today, instead of waiking up very early to brush my teeth.

When the day was over I counted at least 76 more days we should have celebrated with a day off. That is not the best inspiration for tomorrow`s workday. I do not look forward to it.

Christmas 2018

Here is a late entry about christmas 2018 that I have forgotten to post.

The first sign that the holiday is coming are all the fundrising lists we are bombarded with at work. Parents with brats that are doing sports, music related things etc. need money for their activities, so they try to sell us, not so very tasty, cookies. They have no shame.

This christmas a new list stood out. It was not raising money for brats activities, but an amateur theatre group with middle aged. I immediately suspected it to be a group of parents having an excuse to get out of the house to go to the pub. If not, they were not very talented.

If they sometimes were able to get out of the planning stage in the pub and on to a scene, the performances are most likely not a "must see" show.

A new form of list also appeared this christmas. I was told it was a "must have" wrapping paper kit. I did not write my name on that list. Will christmas 2019 bring us new exciting lists ?. Only eleven months left to find it out.

The New Years Eve

A new year has started, so I guess it is time for some reflections. I will start with new years eve. It was not a perfect celebration this time either. I blame the fireworks industry/cartel for this.

I promised to fix some fireworks for the "big" evening, so I went for sparklers. I refuse to pay 50 euros for the heavier stuff that only lasts for seven to twelve seconds. They also have silly names that are either inspired by the army or a tropical storm that has killed and destroyed a lot. Someone were promoting a pack of 25 for two euros 50, but that was of course a misled. Those fireworks crooks used it as bait for law-abiding citizens. I am unfortunately among them.

I was not a happy man the first minutes of 2019. The mood actually lasted for at least half an hour.

Happy new year !.

My official 2019 New Year`s Resolutions

Not a single New Year`s Resolution of the five were achieved in 2018. Therefore I have decided to keep only one of them. It is. of course, winning in the lottery big time. I have increased the minimum winning prize from 30 million euros to 50 million too meet the expected price increase.

I have decided to add only one more resolution to the 2019 list.

It is to throw a perfect Nine-dart finish.

The inspiration to this resolution is the mighty Michael van Gerwen. The green machine scared the hell out of his opponents and claimed his third WC title. A living legend.

I demand the dutch people to appreciate him more than their royals. I bet none of them have thrown a Nine-dart finish. They would most likely have struggeled to throw the darts long enough to hit the board. Michael van Gerwen does it all the time. I look forward to keep my resolutions this year.

Review on the 2018 resolutions

New resolutions have been made for the new year, but first I would like to look at the ones for 2018. How successful was I keep them. I made five in total.

Number one on the list was winning the lottery big time. At least 30 million euros. I was not able to fulfil that one. The picture over tells it all. Veeeery disappointed with that one.

Number four on the list was to have a meaningful conversation with an alien, but since I have developed a conspiracy theory why I am not winning much on the lottery, and aliens are a big part of it, I have not been very interrested in talking to any of those individuals.

Number two and three on the list were eat more carrots and broccoli and eat less chocolate related products. I have to confess that I yet again have disappointed myself, but I feel that I was extremely close on several occasions to turn things around for the better.

Number five was to be more fashionable. I don`t know why I did that one. It is an impossible task.

Look out for the 2019 resolutions coming soon to this blog.

Who the f..k is Phillipe Starck and why has he designed annoying water bottles ?.

Althoug I have accepted the fact that I own one of the worlds worst water bottles ever produced, it is still a great struggle when I bump into others with their perfect ones. I have started to hate many persons at work for this.

On of them constantly brags about having a bottle designed by a supposedly superstar product designer called Philippe Starck. It is is extremely annoying.

I really don`t know anything about this Philippe Starck bloke, but I really hope there is, at least, one fatal construction detail with that award winning and annoying bottle that will have fatal consequences for the owners in the near future. I want bad karma for Philippe Starck water bottle owners !.

Another update on the worst water bottle in the history of this universe.

Today I simply just threw in the infamous towel. I just have to face the sad fact that the crappy water bottle wins. It`sjust impossible to prevent one selves from getting soaking wet when trying to quench a thirst with the worst ever purchase in the history of this universe.

My number one on the wishing list to Santa Claus this year will, of course, be a new well functional water bottle. Unfortunately I am usually disappointed after Christmas eve. "Merry xmas everybody".

Another update on the worst water bottle in the history of this galaxy

Today was definitely the worst day of my "great" search for a new and well functional drinking technique for the worst ever produced water bottle in the history of this galaxy. Lying down on the floor turned out to be pretty close to that torture technique called waterboarding. This sad day will hopefully be forgotten very soon.

Buying a new water bottle is not an obvious alternative

Here are som thoughts about my bottle problem. You might ask the obvious question to this. "Why doesn`t he just buy a new one ?" The answere to this is that the fear for purchasing an even worse one is bigger than the desire to find one that functions perfectly.

There are probably way too many product designers and awards for "Water bottle of the year" out there. They all contribute to the abundance of several millions badly designed ones. My shitty one is most likely an award winning bottle of the year on several occasions. It is a very frightening thought.

I am still struggeling with the frickin` waterbottle

Today I tried out several new techniques to solve my big struggle with the new waterbottle. For those who are not updated with this, please look at earlier entries on this blog.

Most of my attemts were disasterous. Not worthy a mention. This water bottle turns out to be a real challenge. I will be very angry if I find out that this particular object has won an award for its design.

I did manage to come up with a couple of promising techniques, but in fear that the HSE department would give me hard times, I chose to reject them. Thanks for nothing HSE department. You make great contributions for making this world stagnate.

Another update on the worst water bottle in the history of this planet.

Today I tried to sit down while leaning towards a wall. It did not work either. I am starting to run out of good options to solve this huge problem in my life. I am tempted to use the bottle in an anti-stress therapy session that is supposed to be a hit among stressed Japanese workers. It has been a soaking wet time at work so far this week.

An update on the water bottle trouble

Here is an update on the big troubles with the crappy, new water bottle. Today I tried out a new technique that included the chair at my desk. Unfortunately it was not a success.

Big trouble with new water bottle

Not much to write about the four, five last weeks. The most interresting thing to mention is that I have bought a new water bottle for work. The old one in plastic gave away a nasty Tsjernobyl pollution taste only 10 nanoseconds after tapping. The new one is in glass and it gives away no bad taste at all. The only probleme is the size of it. The opening is way too big and it looks like I`m in a wet t-shirt competition every time I try to quench my thirst. Even drinking water is now difficult in my life.

Those of us who hate shopping malls

Hating shopping malls can put you in awkward situations.

Here is one of them.

One harmless action with huge consequences.

What a comeback !. The situation is saved and his own self-respect is restored.

Another weekend is over

Only one positive thing to say about this weekend. My favourite ice cream is back in the local grocery store. I have no interest in talking about the other bad stuff like yet again failing to win the big lottery price etc, etc, etc...

For several weeks I have been struggeling with all shorts of silly, stupid flavours. They have all been disappointing. The ice cream business in Norway is in a cul-de-sac.

When I finally had the chance again, I bought two cans. One for Saturday and one for Sunday. I ended up eating them both the very first minutes after arriving back. That`s what I call self-control.

New addition to the blog

It`s time for new views and angles on the world in this blog. Well, maybe not new angles and views but at least new ways to express frustrations and anger. Get used to it !.

The struggle for the perfect diet continues

I have decided to upgrade my current diet from carrot to honey melons. They do seem more exotic and could also be something hipsters would chose for a diet. I wanna be more interesting too.

But when you spend time in a grocery store in Norway (or any other countries around the world, I guess) you tend to be bombarded with great, temting bargains. German doughnuts are surprisingly very often among them at my local shop.

Today I chose to really save some money. Four Euros in total. The honey melons remained untouched.

Five days before the weekend

Yesterday the crown princess of Norway celebrated her birthday. On the same day I chose to eat the two last pizzas in a "four for 10 Euro" bargain deal from the local grocery store. I can`t wait for the weekend to arrive again.

The excuses

It`s the second entry this year and time to come up with some excuses for no entries in almost eight months in a row. The first one is my best. I`ve been busy trying to find a suitable diet that fits me and my complex personality.

One of the lot that has proven not to be very successful was the self composed "The super chickpeas diet". A total disaster.

Many others have been tried out. They all have been failures. I always end up with eating lots of blueberry pie ice cream for comfort.

The second excuse is that I have made a jingle for a one minute films festival in Serbia. The theme for the 2018 edition was movies and revolution. I struggeled for some time to come up with an idea. I tried my best and here is the result.

Back to blogging again !.

Finally back to blogging again. It has been a few months since last time. I will try and do this more frequently in the future. I am not sure who or what I have  to blame for the lack of entries. Anyway, let`s get started. I have some fantastic news and some not so fantastic ones.

I will start with the bad one. Holiday is over and I am back to my not so fantastic workplace again. It pays my bills, and that`s about it. I was hoping for some radical changes and the whole place had been turned into one of those Ibiza foaming party discotheques, but just my luck...

The great news is that I have started a new and fantastic diet. Thanks to global warming the Norwegian farmers can now harvest superthin carrots. They are excellent for my newly started "The carrot diet". The fat will disappear in no time.

I still get a lot of bumps in my way to get the Haute Couture superflat stomach. Some people have no shame in life. No goals either. If so, not the right ones.

I am a nice person and I always sacrifice my own interrests for their stupidity. I am still waiting for my good karma.
