"Trouble With Me"

You must think I'm crazy
Think that I'm a fool
I'm hopelessly romantic, whenever I'm with you
To see the world through my eyes
And never look too far
We're meant to be together, it's written in the stars
We're walking the highway
Doing it our way
Nothing's ever really out of reach, oh

Baby, baby I'm not crazy
I just wear my heart on my sleeve
I never think it over or say maybe
Oh and that's the trouble with me
I don't wanna talk it over
I carry the world on my shoulders, yeah
And baby, baby you can save me
I'll always wear my heart on my sleeve
That’s the trouble with me
That’s the trouble with me, yeah

I follow my emotions,
they always call my name
You tell me how you're feeling,
I'm sure I'll feel the same
Of dreamly constellations,
you're always in my heart
The road, it always takes me back to where you are

I'm driving the highway, doing it my way
When I know you're never really out of reach, oh

Baby, baby I'm not crazy
I just wear my heart on my sleeve
I never think it over or say maybe
Oh, and that's the trouble with me
I don't wanna talk it over
I carry the world on my shoulders, yeah
And baby, baby you can save me
I'll always wear my heart on my sleeve
That's the trouble with me

Oh, I never wanna calm down
Oh, I never ever wanna touch the ground again

Never learned my lesson, never wanna change
If loving you will hurt me
GIVE ME THE PAIN, yeah

Baby, baby I'm not crazy
I just wear my heart on my sleeve
I never think it over or say maybe
Oh, and that's the trouble with me
That’s the trouble with me
That’s the trouble with me, yeah
I don't wanna talk it over
I carry the world on my shoulder, yeah
And baby, baby you can save me
I'll always wear my heart on my sleeve
That's the trouble with me
Trouble with me
Don’t leave....

"Six In The Morning Fool"

I walk along these tired streets,
That I walked the night before,
I cleared my head a thousand times,
While staring at your door,
I tore up your photograph,
And found myself taping it back together again,
Can we start again,

Cause the road is cold,
And the suns to bright,
And the sunglasses on my face,
I cant hide behind,
I cant hide behind,

This is my wake up calling,
This is my way of falling,
Back into love with you,
Am a six in the morning fool,
My feet are tired of walking,
My words are tired of talking,
Im back in love with you,
Am a six in the morning fool,
Yeah,

Days and nights, nights and days,
What I have to lose,
My only company staring at the evening news,
My friends try to take me out,
To talk me out of me and you getting together again,
And they call themselves friends,

All the lights are out,
And the stars are close,
But the day is coming,
And im the only one that knows,

Im the only one that knows,
This is my wake up calling,
This is my way of falling,
Back into love with you,
Am a six in the morning fool,
My feet are tired of walking,
My words are tired of talking,
Im back in love with you,
Am a six in the morning fool,
Yeah,

Baby, could you come outside,
We can watch the rest of the sunrise,
Even if you say goodbye,
I know that I have tried,
Ive tried to tell you,
Got to tell you,

This is my wake up calling,
This is my way of falling,
Back into love with you,
Am a six in the morning fool,
My feet are tired of walking,
My words are tired of talking,
Im back in love with you,
Am a six in the morning fool,
Yeah,

Am a six in the morning fool,
This is my wake up calling,
This is my way of falling,
Back into love with you,
Am a six in the morning fool,
Yeah,
Am a six in the morning fool.

"Release" All Ready!!!

For everyone who havn't checked out the amazing band Sister Hazel, should go youtubing, or iTunes RIGHT NOW! They are just amazing, and I have all 12 albums they have released.

There newest is called "Release", and will be coming out in august. I know, I should NOT be complaining, since there last album "Before The Amplifiers" came out December 2008! But, seriously, I can't wait. I havn't heard a song from the new album, it's air tight at the moment, but I will this second pre-order from sisterhazel.com!

I met Sister Hazel for the first time back in 2007. And I can honestly say, they are some cool guys! Then I met them again January 2009, when we whent on a cruise together in the Bahamas! Ken Block, the lead singer, remembered me, and the other guys too! I have 2 signed CD's, and some amazing photos! They rock live!


One thing I have always known is that Hanson and Sister Hazel would rock together! I meantioned that for Ken back in 2007, and he kinda laughted a bit. When meeting him again on the cruise, he had JUST played "Signed, Sealed, delivered" live with Hanson! I refreshed his memorie on this. And he said "Ah, I know! I should of listened to you! What great stuff we've missed out on!" This nice photo here is taken on the cruise. And you have Keith Simmons, and Stephen Kellogg on here too! I just love the photo! But what the heck is up with Taylor (Hanson)? He didn't find a better place to put his bottle for the picture? LOL



That's all for Sister Hazel today! Check them out! You won't regret it!!



Be good to eachother!

"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!

Good God!

I can't believe I havnt updated this thing in like 2 years!
Then again, nobody had been reading this thing, so whats the deal? It has happend a lot since I last wrote (duuuh!), and I have moved back to Norway, out of Norway, and back in.

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!
