Reflection on time

What days are the same? How days are the same.. How strange the flow of time?.Time lost all sense of duration, distance and scope for now. I don’t see difference between week and weekend, week and month, month and year. All in one never-ending roll of daylight (which is easy to shut out) and nighttimes (which is difficult to ignore). When did time start floating by unrecognised? Since when have weeks gone into months and uneventfully parked behind each other forming something supposedly called a year in life of me? What happened to make me so oblivious to the fact I am to cherish each day? Spite?
I seem to run after myself most of the time. Unable to catch up and probably to bone idol to make the effort it takes to get in line for own life. Takes to much effort and attention. Can be very concerned about wellbeing of other’s lives.. but own is not of much importance as long as up and running. Trying to make the weeks longer only seem to shorten them].
Could time be sold it would have the highest price. It would be the most sought after commodity in the world. It would be stored in vaults by people who could afford to buy more than they could consume, just like any other luxury item.

Is Norway really the dog's bullocks?

Home again. First and foremost let me clarifythat I love my family and I love going back to see them. And yes.. the nature is nice (then again Switzerland is hardly hard-featured.. nor is Ireland, or Finland, or Austria) and the uhm.. the .. fish is plentiful. My issue with Norway and Norwegians become apparant as soon as I set foot here. The Norwegians, you see, like to believe we are the epicenter of the universe. It's in our DNA that anything "you" do (you being rest of world) we can do better.
The moral superior calibre of the Norwegian folk is not to be underestimated.
Conspicous by absence in the international political scene we somehow have managed to maintain our egg-cosy microcosmos untouched by EU/ World interferance.
And we have the most arrogant misapprehention that our way is the best way and look with furrowed brows at any innovation or new thing one tries to present to us.
Stiff-necked and proud we believe everything from our salty dry cured ham ( I will eat Serrano, but please please save me from the venomous "spekeskinke") to our strawberries are simply the epiphamy of excellence... It's sickening! And I am happy to say I am an expat Norwegian.

That time of the month...

Evolution is overrated. Evolution is a lie. Why why why do the human woman have her cycle EVERY MONTH! Can someone please enlighten me on the neccesity of this? Why do we need to be able to reproduce at this frequency? Why can't we, as most animals, have better terms and conditions? I OBJECT! I don't want!
Sheep , foxes and elk have once a year.. and always in fall/winter.
Horses and hamsters breed in spring /summer.
Dogs are diestrous and have their periode just 2 times a year.
And here we are. Bleeding every frikin month. Who benefits from this ?
Women certainly don't.. And I am preatty sure there are hordes of boyfriends and husbands out there that would support the diestrous cycle with a parade!
Though there is no comfort in it, rabbit ladies are estrous and can concieve at any given time!

Please no more adieu!

I am so bloody tired of fleeting happiness. There has just been an ongoing stream of "endings" in my life recently. Just when it seems I have found something great, something beautiful, someone who's a blessing... just when I begin to think of this as real.. and relax..it's gone! Just like that. An I have had it with these sad goodbyes.
Circumstances, accidents and random occurances ..never due to tanglible destruction or rational decicion-making, it just wanished before my eyes. Out of my hands. And trying to hold on is as futile as carrying water in your bare hands. Now I must practice the art of letting go. Which is not my forte, to be honest.

When you hurt, cry a river, build a bridge, an get over it!

Is there such a thing as a household gene?

Throught my adult life I have been confronted with my possibly biggest weakness. Every single man in my life have grinded their teeth and tried to grin and bear it.
Each landlord must have had a mild post-stroke after rent-collection.
I just cannot keep a household.
Words like "katastrofa", "beirut brothel", "squad" and worse comes to mind.
I know it isn't difficult, but it sure ain't easy either!
I can hear you going pfff. pfff.. "it's a matter of self-dicipline", "it's just about lazyness", "one must apply oneself".. Trust me... I have plenty of all, which can be applied in situations required, just NOT HOUSEWORK PLEASE!
I procrastinate, I shiver, I cry, I try.. Not at all. No chance.
Now I am getting help. Preferably with Household genes and high tolerance!
If I never need to clean a toilet ever again I will die a happy woman!

Fresh in 38 degrees ?

It is something I seem to forget each year... The excruciating heat that covers this rock each summer come July/August.
We are talking sticky, non breathable, unbearable heat. Some of us have business-meetings. Some of us must move around.
Out of the mercy of the office AC I cannot keep up appearances.
As I arrived at clients office I notice my reflection in the mirror. Not only do I look like a crystal meth-addict with withdrawal symptoms, sweat-rings everywhere and perspiration pouring down my face.
In my bewildered and puffy, plum tomato red face I can See to my joy that any make-up applied with great care earlier, is now glued to the sunglasses I tried wearing (bastards make me sweat more and slide off) or below my jawline. I swear my green eyeliner was under my chin. On the journey back I was worried that my knickers would become one with the seat.. Guess who's ready for a swim!

Age of men or men of age

What is the right balance of age between a man and a woman?
Personally I am handicapped with a knack for young boys. Does that make me a cougar?
And how young is too young? When does it become molesting?
I've recently had a marriage proposal from a 74 year old.. I think when you reach 40 years + difference there certainly should be lots of love (or for some I guess money) involved for the union to succeed. Does that make him a mougar?
The 74-year old insits he is a killer lover, yet he struggles to walk properly..
Hardly think he would live through the wedding night to be honest.
But this is the thing. There is insufficient supply of the men in the RIGHT age bracket. Men between 30-40 are practically void from the marketplace!
Those I have met lately have turned out to be BAD INVESTMENTS!!
So what is a girl supposed to do? Fun with 74 or fun with 24?
Engage in battle for 30-40 year old? Find widower? Uff...

The working week

Have we really considered the necessity of this working week we have today?
Is it really aligned with the realities and needs of modern man and women?
I believe not!
there is something fundamentally wrong in the way the current working week is the way it's been since ... well.. since it was needed.
I know in Nordic countries and in leading companies flexi-time and home-office solutions are common, but for most of us it's the same old hamster-wheel week in and out. It's Friday? Great.. I'll be legless by 21.00 due to exhaustion from 5 days of work.
It's Saturday? Yippie! The ONE DAY I can actually organise the life I try to pretend to have outside work!
It's Sunday? The day before I am back in modern slavery? Thoughts are trapped in anticipation of new wonderful working week.
We have swipe-card?
We have short lunch-break. Barely enough to run , queue and pick up sandwhitch with no taste eaten in hurry in front of PC?
We have instant coffee?
We have sick-leave forms?
We have office yucca palm?
We have life?

Smooth skinned frog

Ufff... My smooth skinned frog is leaving. FYI smooth skinned frog is a antonym for young beautiful french boy. Anyhow. Being fancophile me, it's sad to let this one go.
Back to the Balkan stock-exchange for me. But the Balkan exchange has such low currency. And the investments are risky to say the least. And don't even get me started on the Mediterranean portfolio of volatile, unstable investment options.. Uff again. the scandi market is stable and reliable, but how boring! Too boring!
The british exchange has some fringe benefits, however beer and football kind of lessen the value of the investment to a degree of not worth while.
Which market to enter next?
