Eight: Song that made an impact

The First Eight List Ever!

A list of songs that touch my heart (only for a little bit, I'm not getting soft) and means something special to me. Limited myself to one song per band, but I can't stand by my own rules.(Fight the power!) Besides, The Beatles are always an exception, right?

(Click on the title to a link to a youtube video of the songs.)

• The Drugs Don't Work- The Verve

Favorite line: "Like a cat in a bag waiting to drown." So simple, yet so genius.

• Jugband Blues- Pink Floyd

Favorite line: "And I'm wondering who could be writing this song" Explains insanity so well.

• When You Were Young- The Killers

I think it might be the melody, but I really can't explain why I love this song.

• First Day Of My Life- Bright Eyes

This is one of those songs that just stuck out and stuck with me for some reason.

• Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood- The Animals

Favorite line: "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good"

• I Hate The White Man- Roy Harper

Favorite line: "And where the crazy white man And his teargas happiness Lies dead and long since buried By his own fantastic mess For I hate the whiteman And his plastic excuse For I hate the white man And the man who turned him loose..."

• Eleanor Rigby/ A Day in The Life- The Beatles

Favorite line: Eleanor Rigby: The whole song is so indescribably amazing but the chorus sums it up: "All the lonely people Where do they all come from ?All the lonely people Where do they all belong ? "

A Day in The Life: "Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert hall" just because it doesn't make sense. Also "He blew his mind out in a car" just cause.

• Mad World- Gary Jules

Favorite line: "I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had" Love it. (Gary Jules version is so much better than Tears for Fears' original version)

I made a video!

Some pictures of Rachel's and my time in York:

(music: soundtrack "Tre nøtter til askepott", God save the Queen- Sex Pistols)

Damn those frenchies...

French homework from back in the day I randomly found on my computer...

Chère Jean,

Ca va bien ? Comment est la vie dans la France? Je te manque et je espère tu viens à Norvège cette année.

Tu ne veux jamais croire que il s’est passé ­á l’école aujourd’hui. Mon amie Vigdis. Tu se souvenir Vigdis? Karoline et Vigdis se sont querellé. Vigdis croyais Karoline a volé son sac et elle disais que Karoline était bête. Karoline disais que le sac était laid et Vigdis était laid aussi.

Tout à coup, Karoline frappait Vigdis dans son visage. Vigdis s’est fâche et s’est appelée beaucoup des noms méchants. Vigdis donne un coup de pied au mollet de Karoline. Karoline tirer par les cheveux de Vigdis. Toute l’école regarde le lut. Vigdis essayait frapper Karoline, mais un professeur venait et arrêtait tout. Il était terrible. Karoline et Vigdis recevaient expulsion. Je suis heureux que nous ne sommes pas telles.

Je t’embrasse,
Johanne.

Translation anyone?

Ryan started the fire!

Fant nettopp ein av de beste fan videoene eg har sett på lenge!!! Mer extremt bra siden eg e ein frest The Office-fan! Har du ikkje sett serien (e du ein idiot) e videoen på ein måte ein recap av de siste 5 sesongene.

Hvis du likte videoen, anbefale eg å ta ein liten titt på selve serien. Eg har alle sesongene på DVD og sett de alle minst 2-3 ganger... så e e bare å spør om å låne. men ingen garanti på at eg vil skilles fra my children..

My little problem

Midterm i amerikansk litteratur og historie på fredag. Det skal vel gå bra, eller?
Notes from Eng120 American Genesis:

The major difference between Booker Taliaferro Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois is what the teacher is talking about. I don't really know what is going on. Merryfot is talking about something, she is having a hard time getting to her point. Ok, focus! All men are created equal. We have to dispence or something. Do not bracked something. It shines though triumphant french grammar the acne of absurdity. What seems to be the problem? Booker takes something for granted. Booker doesn't take a stanza because they are related to each other. The lower classes are default. He turned the ladies into marxist. DuBois has to take the race question and take a step back and look at economics. In racist term: the problem with class if that happens that two people pursuit higher people, we can overcome? We only work reduced information. The upper 10% of each race can nogociate each other. Teacher thinks that is quite true. Concept that you can apply into the doble concieness related to a black author. You never look at yourself directly. That's why he was very busy. That started in the 1920's. Thay had to dig out African-Americans, they had to leave it behind in Africa. Left wat songs and storytelling to dig out. It is impossible. We grow up im a certain culture, reinvent something. This was the itch at hand, it you split a person, you are always yourself and getting it together again. It is to be seen in novels hollow renaissance in media. Again not a part of genre of the poem. Compremize between diagnose in the chapter and working to white people. End of lecture

Wait, WHAT?!?

blue monday

Mandager e kjedelige og i dag va ikkje annerledes men eg bestemte meg for å skrive et par dikt om denne første dagen i resten av mitt liv...

Det første e nesten et haiku, juska litt med siste linje, men det måtte bare bli sånn

Jamming on guitar
With the fantastic bottle top
Or what have you

Dette neste rime til og med!! (nesten)

First, I was in a dreamy haze
Containers, vans and stuff
made my street into a maze
I drove the car, I was tough
The anglo-saxons killed the celts
I bough myself a belt
Cough Cough Cough Rach nearly dies
For dinner I didn’t have rice
Rambo, a treat before bed
How come he isn’t dead?

Håpe du har hatt ein like "innholdsrik" mandag som meg!
kom igjen, skriv ein kommentar om ka du syns om diktene mine.
(please tilgi meg for dies/rice rimet... eg e ikkje poet)
