sometimes i'm baffled. yes that's a strange english word. I had a dicussion online today with a retired gentleman,who was a teacher/professor, fairly well educated (or so i thought). we've talked pleasantly on other topics over a year or so. for some reason he was on about the war with japan tonight...and i had to point out some flaws in his history and logic. i'll never ever agree that bombing saves lives. alright america bombed women and children to save soldiers lives, that makes sense. NOT. i don't think either side had exactly the right idea. He brought up the point that america had to respond to japan tormenting and killing chinese people (he forgot the koreans) and it was america's duty to stop that. okay, well if that was the case, why isn't america currently in darfur stopping that genocide? rwanda? lots of africa? or if that's the noble concept why isn't the rest of the world at war with america for the innocent loss of millions of iraqi lives in an unjust war? it boogles my mind sometimes. he then made some off colored comment about talking to me was talking to an arrogant EUROPEAN. i hate that..it pushes every button i have. I replied well you're a presumptious ignorant american. and furthermore i'm not european. He proceeded to lecture me about how i am european..we're on the european continent geographically. i tried to explain how we're scandinavian, not a part of the EU, can't use euros, consider a part of our national pride to be scandinavian and furthermore norwegian. that scandinavia is seperate on the map. He continued to argue for the european thing. i used the example that canadians don't call themselves north americans, nor do mexicans call themselves north americans just because they're on the north american continent. He disagreed and said his canadian friends do call themselves that (total BS, i've lived in canada and my long time love is canadian) and the the brits consider themselves european even though they're not a part of the EU either. i realized at this point that he was hopelessly lost in misinformation, and told him the next time he's in mexico remind them they are north americans, not mexicans. he told me he'd had norsk students before and i'm not like them, and i can't seem to have a rational conversation. i said he insulted me, was arrogantly presumptuous about people and countries he's never been and knows nothing about. how typically american. g'bye. now i have a headache. i guess venting helped a little. such a ramble..but sometimes i really wonder about people and it makes me worried for the future.

I have been invited to mobog by a bunch of people. I originally couldn't view it without joining, which is never a good sign. i read some reviews of previous users and other folks...also fairly terrible. they said it crashed and took all their pictures some months ago, and has on again off again techno trouble. and its a total tits and ass porno site. i didn't mind the erotica on orfay and yafro..everyone knows i posted some too. I like the artistic aspect and i don't mind tastefully done nudity, but i don't want to see amateur beavers just because they can. or cock shots, or sex. yuck! it seems really trashy to me, no offense to the people i like here who have sites there. while i don't like glowfoto and don't post much because no one looks at each others pictures, and its frustrating to navigate around here, i'm not looking for a site like mobog either. just my two cents. i certainly don't want to join another site just to have it crash again like orfay either!

Goodbye to orfay. Mostly we knew it wasn't coming back, but its hard to here its a final thing. I made so many wonderful friends on yafro originally, that carried over to orfay. I enjoyed seeing people's lives, hearing their triumphs, and sorrows, connecting with people i would've have the chance to be close to offline. It really expanded my world, and helped me find my own place. I gained confidence posting artisit photos, interacting with kindred spirits of poetry and art, and being able to share all my special moments. I'll miss that deep connection. I don't feel it here on glowfoto. Its too hard to navigate, and very myspace-ish which i really dislike (as i don't even have a myspace account for that very reason) and no one seems to look at the pictures in the albums so i don't even bother posting anymore. I will pop in every now and again to check up on the people i've come to care a great deal about. I guess it's a whole new future for all of us, and i wish everyone the very best and whatever life brings you, no matter where we all end up. as to orfay...you suck for stalling for so long and lying about coming back. You further suck for taking money for powerups that i for one used for ONE single day before orfay crashed. You owe people refunds and and apologies! You should've just come out and said you weren't coming back initially. I think that's very shady and disrespectful to a community of people who supported you for a year and a half. That's not the way we want to remember orfay.

i don't know why i write these, no one reads them. I have to say, i have a sister who's a self centered, self righteous twit. I'll give you an example of why she thinks the world revolves around her. About a year and a half ago i had emergency surgery. Yes EMERGENCY surgery, unpredicted, really scary, and i was extremely ill...life and death situation according to the surgeons. During this time, my sister's sister in law from south america came to visit. I'd met her in south america at the wedding previously. My sister got pissed that i missed events and get togethers with HER in laws because i had surgery. And i should be well already, because she knew someone who had a similar surgery who was up and around in a few days, so why wasn't i?! (nevermind that it was a different set of circumstances). She got NASTY about me being ill...said i was rude for not coming to her big party. She got my ENTIRE family mad at me, and not speaking to me for weeks. I was dumbfounded...how can i help having surgery? does that make any sense? In the end i apologized to her, was the bigger person because my mum asked me to make peace in the family. It's always me making peace for something that's not my fault! this time...i'm not giving in. This time, i'm not bending. This time, i am an adult, and i don't have to do what my LITTLE sister says! and if my parents stop speaking to me over it, SO BE IT! thank god my life doesn't revolve around her. she needs to grow up already. and she's in her 30's! Okay i'm done venting...for now haha.

I keep trying to make this place work, and i keep getting overwhelmed by myspace glitter stuff and the weird navigation aspects of this site. sigh...i don't think i'll make it here long. I did have fun making a playlist...and yes i do realize that i'm completely eclectic in musical tastes. add to that, there aren't some of the norwegian artists i listen to there, nor the japanese ones, but i found some oldies. My musical tastes make little sense though. I don't like extremes, gangsta rap, or country twange, or death metal. But anything else is fair game! Okay, no one reads these but me anyhow, so matane....

i think i'll spend a moment and vent. Do you ever have people in your life who are constantly busy with their schedules and ignore you, but the minute they have a day off you're suppose to be available, drop everything and not be busy for them? and to make it worse, they keep calling (while you're at work or in an apt, or event) and msg'n and text'n even though you can't respond and don't seem to understand why you don't immediately ring them back?? that really annoys me. I have a life, quite a busy one. I don't interrupt people when i know they're busy, i pay attention to times i know they're working or doing activities. Why don't they return that simple gesture?! sometimes people frustrate me. I try to be a good friend, always listening, giving advice, being there in good times and bad. But every now and then i get the feeling that i give a lot and don't get alot in return. Maybe it's just the start of another long week and i'm tired and need some good danish chocolate ha.

I'm not sure how i feel about glowfoto. i just miss orfay. It's brilliant to see so many friends here that i've missed catching up with, but this thing is hard to navigate and figure out and less responsive i think. I'll hang in there for a little while. love to all my friends.
