"Another Me"

Diggin' in for another day
Carrying on in my own
But you know me
I live and die nearly every day
Insanity, it's havin' its way with me

These days in the gallows
I'm kneeling at the block
With my neck outstretched
And I should've stayed in the shallows

But you know me, I'm in too deep
And I'm waiting for another me
One that can change the pain of yesterday
Carry me through another day
And I'm waiting for another me
One in between the burn
And the lessons learned'
Cause being me ain't no way to be

I'm talking law down at Murphy's Bar
Unhappy hour on my own last call
Calling me out on my living lie
Looking for luck I can't even buy

Give me one chance at recovering
What was lost
And give me one shot at redemption
At any cost
Repair my way before it breaks me
Don't break me

Hello did you notice me
Can't you see that I'm crumbling down
Tired of the same old same
I'm coming to
I'm coming back around

Smokie II...

Well, What can I say? I waited for Smokie for 20 years, and got to have him for 2 months...

Why he was named Smokie II is quite simple... Grampa H. used to have a cat. He was smokey grey, and he was sitting at his front porch one day, during 40 below or so.

Grampa took him in, and Smokie staied with him for almost 10 years.

Smokie managed the cold fine, but was hungry, and very thirtsy. And he had frozen of one of his ears. (Ill find a pic, and post).

Winter 2008, there was this cat hanging 'round the new new (since the new building camre before the new new one... Make sence?) building, and the Dep. Of Highw. guy called this cat Chainsaw... Hahaha! LOL. One day, it had hit 50 below and Grampa G. decited to let him in the

hallway of the hotel, so he could get warm, and he would get some food. I wasn't there when it happend, coz I was on dish duty for Annie. But, suddenly Gramma H. called me from the door, out to the hall, looking very mad with me.

I am like "oh no! I most of messed up the til last night or so... ". So, I tell Annie, I am wanted in the office, and go out. There, in the office cousin D. is sitting with this really amazing smokey grey cat on her lap. He is sleeping, and look JUST like Grampa H. cat Smokie! Gramma H. starts to laugh, and sais "We know you wanted a cat! And this one here is perfect! It's like Smokie II". I was so happy I could scream!

I sat down on the floor, and cousin D hands me this amazing fluffy warm, purring thing! Aaaaw! I just fell in love right there and then! So, we skip disg duty, off to lloyd to shop for Smokie!

He felt right at home. The first night he slept in my bed with me. And after that he had his own spot in le living room, outside my door. Every morning (I got up at 4 am), and would wake up at the same time, sitting outside waiting for me!

Smokie II is now enjoying life with J&G. I know they love him, and will take good care of him. All my found memories. Going to the vet, the ghost in my house scaring him, and the christmas tree? Smokie II, I love you! I never ment to leave you. I know I promissed NOT to, but I had no choice... I hope to see you soon!

Well, thats all the sentimental crap I've got right now. But stay tuned!

More to come!

P.S: Be good to eachother!

The Boiler Room 2.0!

Yes, THAT'S right! I have the KEY!

Well, the boiler room story started back in 2007. All by an accident.


I had been asked to be practical leader at a camp for confermed kids. I didn't think of this as somthing to be a hard task. I had done it before, and would do it again. The only problem was that I was living in Florida, and the camp was in Norway... mmmh... "No, problem, I am moving to Norway anyway, and I will land the day before the camp starts!"


It turned out good, and I actualy manage to plan the whole camp via internet, msn, and Facebook (can you believe it?) The day before, also the day of the big landing, I decited to spend the night at Miss Snax, because she is living in Oslo, and we would decent from Oslo.


I hadn't seen Miss Snax in like 2 months, so we had an great time! The next morning, I was awakend by my cell phone. Some girl was calling, and I asked for her name. She said she was stranded at the airport, and it was 6 in the morning, and she had no money, and was going to the camp. I had to go get her! I checked my camper list, but she was not there! I checked the other camp lists, and she was THERE! I was like what da???!

Some of the nice things you may find @ the Boiler room!

Turned out, there where 3 girls at the airport, and there parents had just sendt them off, and given them MY cell phone number. Bastards! There I am, jet lagged, stressed out, having heat flashes, six in the morning, and NO CAR!

So, I call my right hand assistant, and explaine to him I have to go, and he will come out to the airport later. We where to pick up 'bout 5 kids around 1. That meaning, I had to be sitting at the airport for like 5 hours or so. I get there, and it turns out I have to pay there food, drinks, AND the train tix to Oslo... Man... (Did I get the money back? Not yet....)


So, not up to a great start, we're finaly ready to head out to our camp. My headache really bad by now, and my jet lag running wild. And on top of it all: TOOTH ACHE! Yes! Week whent as it always does, and I was getting grumpy and mad. By mid week, 2 friends of mine came out, to hold an seminar on Sex... Yes, sex! LOL (Lets call the guys Mr. P and Mr A).


Mr A was holding the comferance, and Mr P. was his driver. During the seminar I hear some funny noises from the basement. I decide to go down and check, after all I am the practical leader. But, I don't know HOW to work a boiler room, and the guy who owns the place won't pick up his phone! So I inform my sister, the big cheef, and she says that Mr P. is very practical with everything, he will help. So Mr P. comes with us downstairs. As we are walking down to the basement he says "Oh! I have dreamt about this! Going to the boiler room woth two pretty sisters while Mr A is haveing an seminar on Sex upstairs!" We all burst ou laughting! Suddenly the boiler room was just THE place to hide, when we had enough of crazy campers, and what not! We spendt alot of time there after hours that week, taking crazy photos! Hahaha!

"Bjoerg" enjoying an late evning @ Boiler!

Then, in winter of 2008, when it hit 50 below, and we could not smoke inside, and it was to far to the office... What to do? Well, outside in the smoking pit, theres a nice door... Down to a BOILER ROOM! This one a classic boiler room. With open flames and all! My belowed cousin said we outh to sit there and smoke. Its very warm, and it's this old broaken freezer, we could have drinks in there on ice, and BOW BOW, A party! Hahha. So I had to tell her about the boiler room back in Norway, and she goes "If we are NOT, related, some adoption agency did a very good job!" LOL


Unfortuonatly, I don't have pix from the Canadian boiler room. And I do miss it so much now... I can see us sitting there... A CD player, with some good country, and the picknik plaided rag on the freezer... Smoke filling the room... Ah, those WHERE the days! Dang!



So enjoy the photos from the Norwegian Boiler room, located at Jessheim, Norway!


Until later, be good to eachother! Keep ya posted!

Canadian's do it better, eh?

I most certanly say so! I feel so stuck here, like I never did.

Yes, I know I always run from the truth, and hardly try to fix it. But, I most say, this time I did do it RIGHT! From the verry beginning, I was welcomed into this tiny town (500 people, can you believe it?). Not much happening, but stil A LOT!

I am so lucky to have an fantastic family, and a cousin, who is like a mother, a sister, and an aunt in one! And this lady was going to be Big Mean Boss! Holy! Working was like one big party (well, no alcohol whilst working, but who said about after work?).

My cousin had an office, and even though smoking is not aloud in common areas in Canada, it did not apply to her office! HAH! This office was so good to have when it hit 50 bellow, and I would spend 20 minutes to get dressed, even to put the trash out... So smoking outside was not an option!
When getting off work late, my cousin would come in (having 5 kids, 4 of them living at home), she needed to be social to. And be working prob 15 hours a day, I need to be social!

I know this is just rambling, and I will come with more excact stories in the future! Just wait for the Boiler room storie! And NO, it's not the first Boiler room, but the Canadian! Hah, I know some of you will understand what I mean here. But, when the time comes, Ill explaine EVRYTHING! I am laughing as I write! Holy! Any who... I think that's all for now... And oh, yes, I will get a better skin the next few days. Promiss!





Be good to eachother!

Now, I am stuck in Norways capitol, Oslo... God knows what will happen... I will try, over the next few days, to update on my crazy adventure for the last 2 years...

Picture will be the key here, and hopefully, someone will read...

The last year has been a roller coaster ride, like nothing else, and I have experienced a lifetime of madnes, happiness, and everything else to be mentioned. I did NOT have a hell week, I had 2 hell MONTHS last winter. I was snowed inn, had the fire pox, and experienced 50 below.

So keep reading, and hopefully you will catch up soon!

Until then, be good to eachother!

"1 Last Order"

Friday I hit the last order button at work for the last time... I have done this 2 times a day for 7 months... But it felt a little strange doing it today. 2 minutes after I had done so, the chef came out with the paper. He had singed it! "How does it feel?" he said. It did feel strange. My last table was a family of 6 I had served the day before for breakfast. They had actually come back, and requested me!
Then I banked out for the last time, and Bev and me took the "usual" picture for last time banking out. "The Money Picture"!
Susan and I talked alot about serving, and how strange it was going to be to be in the bakery again for 4 days. Tomorrow is monday, and I have my leaving dinner... 4 days 'til my plane leaves... I am not ready!

I just need to find the time to pack... Hahha...
See you guys on friday! I can't wait... Although I don't wanna go...!

On saturday Eliz and me went to Universal Studios!! It took us a while to get there... First we whent to Starbucks for coffee, then the bus, that took almost an hour! Then I got hungry, and KFC was, like, so close!

So, we ordered a big bucket meal. 10 pcs of chicken, with 2 sides, and 2 liter of soda! Crazy crazy crazy! When we fanaly got there, we went to Island of Adventure first. We only roade the Spider Man, then we went to the Studios. There we roade the Mummy, and back to the future! Then we watched the parade.

Then we went to Cheese Cake factory, and shared a niiiiiceee! piece of raspberry cheese cake! Yummy Yummy Yummuy!
