The Social Network

2010-10-06T23:03:00.003+02:00

Imorgon är det förhandsvisning av ”The Social Network”, en film av vår tids största fenomen; Facebook, den så kallade ”Fejjan”. Av jordens cirka 7 miljarder människor befinner sig 500 miljoner på samma plattform, oberoende av tid och rum. Ett informationssamhälle där vi kan ”pokea”, likea och tagga varandra i bilderna från helgens festligheter. Är det inte online på Facebook har det inte hänt, om du inte finns på internet finns du inte. 
På min Facebook-sida kan vi utläsa att jag fyller år den 10 Februari. Stockholm, Sweden. 775 ”vänner”. 175 photos. 157 likes.  Dem jag inte har på min vännerlista ser endast stad, kön och hemsidor (denna blogg och min twitter). Storebror ser ändå allt på internet vid en enkel Googlesökning. De lyckliga utvalda har däremot tillgång till alla mina bilder och updates.

Hur påverkar det här oss?  Att alltid vara online och uppdaterad, vad vi gör, vart vi är och vad vi äter har plötsligt aldrig varit så viktigt. Även vardagssysslor som träning och tvättning blir till allmän beskådan som ett bevis på vad duktiga vi är. Vad vi kan! Om någon dessutom gillar vår status eller kommenterar med att vi är duktiga är lyckad gjord, vi har blivit sedda. Cogito, ergo sum ”Jag tänker, alltså finns jag” har blivit ersatt med ”Jag finns på Facebook, alltså finns jag”. Monopol och Fia med Knuff har blivit ersatt med virtuella Mafia Wars och FarmVille. Världen blir sig aldrig lik igen - Facebook är här för att stanna.  

Om filmen:

"En sen kväll 2003 sätter sig Harvardstudenten och dataprogrammeringsgeniet Mark Zuckerberg ner vid sin dator och börjar jobba intensivt med en ny idé. Ur allt bloggande och programmerande växer något fram som snabbt ska komma att bli ett globalt socialt nätverk och en revolution inom kommunikation. Sex år och 500 miljoner kompisar senare är Mark Zuckerberg den yngsta miljardären genom tiderna… men för den här entreprenören så leder framgången till både privata och rättsliga komplikationer."

Last weekend

2010-09-07T20:13:00.003+02:00

Found this picture from last Friday on Ivans blog. The martinez brothers was playing at Clustret, it was absolutely awesome. Earlier that evening I had a vignette recording for my friends new TV-show. It's going to be fab! Unfortunately I also had a recording for a music video the day after. Maybe not the best move to go out clubbing the day before a shoot, but hey.
If the martinez brothers are playing you just have to go out dancing!

2010-09-05T10:04:00.003+02:00

Benen är inte längre pepparkaksbruna och sommarfräknarna på näsan är nästan helt borta.
September. En ny början. Höst.
Luften är frisk och klar, på morgonen känns det tydligt att den är på väg. Den "riktiga" starten på året. Garderober rensas ut, höstkläder införskaffas och sommarens ögonblick omvandlas till minnen. Gamla vänner, nya bekantskaper. En vän som blev något mer. Han som aldrig var och aldrig kommer bli bara en vän. Varmt te med honung. En lång halsduk och en kall hand under en stickad tröja. Röda löv och rosa kinder. Kanske en varm hand att hålla under kalla dagar.
Höst, jag önskar dig välkommen.

2010-06-05T12:10:00.003+02:00

Me and my house mate has recently started a one-week intensive cure Detox with a finishing leaver cleanse on the last day. It is mostly about eliminating unhealthy food from your diet and all the food toxins from your body. This mean; start eating organic.
We got stuck talking about food and organics with the man from the organic food store, who recommended this movie called Food, Inc. Now I have seen the trailer and read about it on the webpage. I am scared. But still, I have to see it. It's like a road-kill, you know what you are about to see, but you can't help to look anyway. Going to see the documentary this week, you should do the same.

Tomorrow is possibly the last time I'm going to my absolute favourite Sunday Market in Camberwell. I probably did most of my Melbourne shopping at that Market!
I often wondered why we don't have anything similar in Stockholm, but now I've recently read that it was premiere 17th of April for the Stockholm Weekend Market! It is going to be every Saturday on Gärdet with lots of vintage, fashion, design, food and organic. I am so happy! I really hope its good, somebody who been there?

The last weeks has been hectic. Everything doesn't always plan out the way you think it will, but sometimes what you think is the worst thing happening in your life can sometimes turn out to be the best. Now I just have two weeks left in this amazing city and it feels a bit unreal.
Two weeks left in Melbourne mean two weeks left of uni, have definitely not grasped it yet.
My mind has been programmed on finals, finding an apartment, a job, and thoughts about the future. I'm practically just landing in Stockholm before I head off again. Need a vacation from everything. Just want to lay on a warm beach and eat ice-cream without thoughts about tomorrow. Just for a little while...

This morning I went to the Children's Farm in Collingwood for breakfast and the farmers' market. They have the most delicious goat toast with beetroot relish and poached egg, so tasty!
I'm so glad I managed to master my hangover and got out of bed. Apparently this is Melbourne's only city farm, totally worth a visit!

I didn’t know what hate felt like, not the hate that comes after love. It’s huge and desperate and it longs to be proved wrong. And every day it’s proved right it grows a little more monstrous. If the love was passion, the hate will be obsession. A need to see the once-loved weak and cowed beneath pity. Disgust is close and dignity is far away. The hate is not only for the once loved, it’s for yourself too; how could you ever have loved this?

The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon?

It's just an illusion

2010-04-01T12:51:00.005+02:00

En illusion av kärlek. När vet man att det är på riktigt? Är inte kärlek egentligen alltid endast en illusion?
Isåfall älskar jag illusionen av oss, men om det är en illusion som inte går att förverkliga kommer det aldrig bli verklighet.
Den kommer dö med mig. En dröm som aldrig blev sann. En fantasi som aldrig blev verklighet. En illusion av kärlek.

An illusion of love. When do you now that it's real?
Isn't love always nothing more, nothing less then an illusion?
In that case Im loving the illusion of us, but if it's an illusion thats impossible to realise it will never become reality. It will die with me.
A dream that never came true. A flight of fancy that never became real. An illusion of love.

Har ni haft en hunger av kärlek som inte går att mätta, ett girigt behov av mer?
Att vara någon så nära det går men fortfarande inte känna att det är nära nog. Att vilja krypa innanför skinnet, bli ett. Andas ett andetag. Jag vill mer än att känna din närvaro.
Vill smaka din doft. Lukta din smak. Se din själ. Röra ditt hjärta så som du berör hela min värld.
Du är den enda. Den enda som kan stilla min hunger.

Ive finally start getting my things and myself together now, uni has started, Ive started going to Bikram Yoga and we even fixed internet yesterday. So now its all good!

Its gonna be some changes, going to lock up my blog again and start writing in english. Hope nobody disapproves. Have to practice my english writing for uni!

Maybe it will come up some swedish post from time to time anyway though, Im so much better on expressing myself in swedish writing and that can be a bit frustrating sometimes.

Feels like Ive lost many of my readers which is sad! Who is still with me?
Feel free to comment if theres something special you want me to write about from down under.

Now Im back and All yours,

Och så var man äntligen med boende, efter två veckors letande bor jag nu i ett hus på Swan St i Richmond med två härliga australienare. Sitter just nu på ett internet cafe i närheten där jag bor, eller är snarare en bottle shop som även har kaffe och internet på en uteplats bredvid butiken.
Alla goda ting är tre!

Såg precis en helt otroligt fascinerande dokumentär om Joy Division på Svtplay. Dokumentären är 1,35 timma och om ni vill se den klickar ni här.

"In this world there is always one person waiting for another, be it in the middle of a desert or in the middle of a big city. And when those two people pass each other and their eyes meet, past and future lose all importance, and the only thing that exists is that moment and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun was written by the same hand, the hand that awakens love, and that makes a twin soul for everyone who works, rests and seeks treasures under the sun. Without this our human dreams would make no sense"

Stationerad i Melbourne, en stad helt i mitt tycke. Sista helgen i Surfers var tokig, jag har hunnit med ett bli 23 år och firat världens mysigaste födelsedag, ätit skaldjurspasta i Broadbeach, druckit lychee martini på Lauxes, dansat galet mycket, blivit hembjuden på hemlagad spansk mat och persisk sallad, tagit farväl av nära och kära och hälsat hej till nya bekantskaper.
Bor för tillfället i Williamstown, letar febrilt efter ett boende men är oerhört svårt.
Om ni vet någon som hyr ut sin lägenhet/letar inneboende i Melbourne hojta till!

Nu har jag varit här i en månad, Surfers Paradise. Är det ett paradis?  På många sätt, men även en plats där det är väldigt lätt att fastna i drog-alkohol-fest träsket eller bli styckad på den gigantiska köttmarknaden.  Är väldigt många turister och många som åker hit för att studera, eftersom de inte ser sin vistelse som permanent ser de även sin ohälsosamma livsstil som temporär. Känns som många tar dagen som den kommer här, en no worries attityd som är svår att missa.

Jag har verkligen haft en underbar tid här, även om det kanske har blivit lite mycket av allt.  Självklart är mycket på grund av att jag äntligen får spendera tid med mina bästa vänner som jag ser alltför sällan nuförtiden, men älskar även staden, värmen, stranden, havet, lukterna, smakerna och att gå ut och dansa utan hämningar till tung house för att slutligen vingla hem barfota i gryningen. 
Nu sitter jag ensam hemma i lägenheten och äter Cadbury mjölkchoklad med macadamian nötter. Väntar på att Lena ska komma hem så att vi kan gå och äta italiensk pasta och dricka vin. Lite fredags fnitter och flört skulle inte sitta helt fel.  Ge natten en kyss och vinka till månen.

Inte helt fel att leva med den här utsikten, tjejernas lägenhet ligger verkligen perfekt mitt i smeten! Nära havet mitt i staden. Bilden är tagen från balkongen.

Bubble Tea

Något jag kommer sakna är bubble tea från Hazel Tea Shop, världens bästa te ställe där de har alla möjliga tesorter, varma som kalla. Men det bästa är att man kan välja till antingen tapioca pearls eller smaksatt jelly till sitt te. Låter helt sjukt, men är helt underbart gott!

Kan börja med att avslöja att jag är en riktig nöt ibland. När det äntligen löst sig med boende (som har varit kaos) och jag kikade på flygbiljetten för att maila mina flygdetaljer ser jag att datumet ser konstigt ut. DÅ först märker jag att det står den 8 mars på biljetten och inte den 8 februari då jag egentligen skulle åka. Självklart står inte Statravel för det då dem bett mig läsa igenom allt och se att allt stämmer, men har missat det totalt.
Iallafall, om man ska se det positivt (som man alltid måste göra) får jag en till vecka med mina älskade nu.

Förutom det är allt guld och gröna skogar. Var i Burleigh heads idag och gick världens mysigaste promenad i deras national park, men blev dock lite tveksam när jag läste skylten haha.

Har förresten käkat känguru för första gången i mitt liv. Det var mycket godare än det ser ut!
