By the way..

This is my new desktop. Cool hey. Made it myself with the help of nerdy things I don't understand... But I love it. Girly girl.

Where did my life go?

This is my social life...:) (ps. I love you:))

I am so tired. I don't know.. I figured I could do uni every night, exercise every morning, study every afternoon, work every weekend and still be fine. The truth is I could probably do it if I had 2 more days during the week. I just learned something new about myself, the fact that I need a day doing NOTHING and I need one day drinking with girls. Some of my friends I have not seen in weeks. I occasionally talk to them on msn or facebook, at uni or on sms, but I actually sat down and had a conversation and a glass of wine for so long I cannot even remember. The horrible thing is that I don't think I have time... I want to so bad, but I have so much to do. It makes me feel a bit empty, I know what I am doing is for the benefit of my future, but what about here and now? Am I going to end up looking back and only remember my professors, Morgenthau and Machiavelli? Uh, UH... 

That's it... reschedule.

India

I have a new idea. I always have ideas and dreams of what I wanna do and where I wanna go. I am a person with difficulties settling and finding harmony, I am always looking for something new to do and experience. Furthermore, I have now started uni again and have many interesting and challenging tasks ahead of me. I will probably learn much and sometimes be very confused. But I guess thats a part of it, isnt it? 

Anyway, I want to go to India. I want to go to India and work with women and help them with their confidence and help them to increase their knowledge of human rights. I want to teach them English and cook food with them. The fantastic thing is that I might be able to do this, through Rural Community Development Program, to work with women in India for one month through an internship. It feels incredibly refreshing and inspiring to hope for something exciting and wonderful as this. Even Global Political Economy (WHICH SUCKS, believe me) might be doable this semester. 

Crossing fingers and eating noodles for dinner, thats the plan for the next 4 months. 

Thoughts..

Two different lives, two different ways of living, two different set of friends, two different type of hobbies, two different ways of going out and two different realities. The idea of the two lives to meet each other is scary. But it will probably bring challenges, experiences and fun. 

Over and out. 

Ps. I want a dog, and an outdoor table. And a new bikini. 

New pace..

I am changing the direction of my blog a little bit, will be writing in both Norwegian and English, mostly because I want to write more about political stuff ( I realized my life was so boring I did not have anything else to write about) . I am very engaged in politics on a critical level and would love some discussions (comments, comments). At the moment I am reading some Noam Chomsky and I have decided that I am going to inform and engage in one "Chomsky Fact" in every blogpost I write.. Don't have time to write one of those now though... :)

Those with the clearest vision often have to fight the hardest to get others to see what they see..

I have a fascination. I have a fascination for a man, a black man, who was left by his father as a kid, had a monkey as a pet, went to a Muslim school in Indonesia and grew up in Hawaii, talked himself into Harvard Law School and in the end won more votes as a president candidate of the United States of America than another person has ever done. This man turned the state of Indiana into a blue state, after 44 years of republican domination.

Yes, I am talking about Barack Hussein Obama. First of all, I want to make it clear that The United States of America will always in my eyes be seen as a superpower promoting its national interest (as every country would do), and as one of my many conspirational theories I do not think that a president of a country can do too much good, or too much damage for that sake, in this contemporary global capitalistic world. I find corporations and firms stronger than any government, with money being the central issue and the star of the show in the highest levels of power in both USA and the West. I think that no matter what USA ( or another country ) does, it has to benefit the corporations that export goods and get profit back to both the corporations themselves, the moneymen behind it and the connections in the government. It might seem corrupt and conspirational, but its just one of my many thoughts that I have developed throughout studying some of these things.

So, with this I want to defend Obama ( and in some horrendous way, George Bush aswell) and say that as a president one cannot make miracles happen. I am not saying that Obama cannot do anything and that he is powerless because of corporations or people with money. Moreover, Obama is, as a multicultural and democratic person, an anthropomorphic bridge between muslims and the Western world, black and white and hopefully also poor and rich. A multicultural man, with experiences outside United States (Texas), would, or I want to believe this, have a more humane side to himself and would prioritize human security and human wellbeing before national security and interest. A journalist in Time magazine wrote that Obamas life reflects the challenges of the contemporary world, the Muslim School in Java and the Harvard Law school signifies the contrast between Muslims and the West. His family in Africa, and his family in America reflects the invisible "borders" between blacks and whites in many parts of the world, all of this is well and good,but for Barack Hussein Obama to stay in power and to change the elements of USA and world politics in the manner that he (I want) wants to, he needs to make decisions that are unpopular and maybe also contradictory to his promises to satisfy the money and powerpeople. My point is.. give the man a chance to last more than 4 years. 4 years are babysteps in the political realm. Hail to the Chief!
