The Warm Embrace of Hellfire

Thought of the day: It's now my Name Day. This means I get a free dinner/lunch out! :3

I have now reached the lowest point in my blogging "career", I have started talking about the weather...

In Norway we've just had an amazing heatwave, close to unbearable. There were days where all the energy I could muster got wasted on just getting down the stairs!

However, in order to redeem myself, I shall steer this unto more "nerdy" matters!

There's a certain virtual land that will experience some severe heat too pretty soon.

That's right! Azeroth! Cataclysm! Lava! Dragons! Lava! Goblins! Lava! Lava Goblins(?)!

I am hyped beyond all things believable when it comes to Blizzard's third expansion to World of Warcraft (my poison of choice... alongside cola...).

Thought of the day: WoW = Stamps?

World of Warcraft have around 11 million subscribers now (or so the add tells me anyway). Now, it might just be Norway or it might just be me but I hardly know ANYONE in this country that plays WoW besides myself and a friend.

Today I suddenly discovered that a guy in the course I am on plays not only WoW but even the same class as myself! It seems to me that most people doesn't want to "admit" to strangers that they play/have played WoW.

This brings me to the comparisson between WoW and stamps. There are two hobbies that are often mocked in this country. Stamps is one, the other is to collect coke bottle caps (the ones with the one-liners in them).

Between now and the end of time

Thought of the day: If Christianity had never caught on, could we have lived on Mars right now?

I'm not religious. Nor am I a fan of religion although I often submerge myself in Norse mythology. It's somehow... belivable.

Anyway, I can not support any religion that's been the source of so much pain and suffering such as the one God religions. The Crusades, prosecutions, terrorism (and not just Islam here), cults, frauds... The list goes on and on.

Looking back at history it should be obvious that you can't have a head of state that keeps to one system ruling over a people that keeps to another.

The 31st millenium looks more inviting by the minute. A belief system based on Science and Logic rather than Gods and Saints.

FOR THE EMPEROR!

World of Warcraft

Thought of the day: Have you ever been accused of being addicted to reading books?

I play World of Warcraft. This is not me admiting to anything. I play a game and OH SHIT RIGHT, THE WORLD MIGHT END!!!

No.

People that are so quick to blame other things, be it games or books, usually do it to cover their own shortcomings.

I have never gotten into trouble because I read... Alot. Back in the 8th grade I could read 360 words a minute with 100% understanding. Somehow, that wasn't a problem.

But then, if I spend 360 minutes on a game, I'm addicted.

Wow, how does that work?

21sies

Thought of the day: Do you have to drink/be a drinker to fully appreciate your 18th and 21st birthdays?

So I'm 21 now. I don't get what the big deal is... I mean, when I hit 18 I was lead to believe that a Angelic Choir would come down from the Heavens and play Led Zepplin while I O.D'd on booze.

Didn't happen.

So, 21! 21 21 21... Twentyone... Twentyonesies.

I got a Spider-Man cake from the lady, that was great! Even though it looked like he'd been "shaking hands with the President".

We promptly named it "cum-cake". Not that it was made of cum or had cum in it but because it looked like Spider-Man had shot his load (quite an impressive amount too) on the yellow frosting.

I also got a card. It's my favourite card of all time. It's being guarded by a owl plushy I bought at the Chestnut Center.

I've named the owl Albert. Some would probably comment on it looking like Einstein but that's not why he's called Albert. Albert is a funny name.

I wonder, if I ever get a friend called Albert, will I be able to take him seriously?

Thought of the day: Up to you really, my head's a mess.

Another day of jobsearching and still nothing. I have, however, sent my CV to two (yes, two... that's all I qualified for...) places so I got my hopes up! England before January 2011, yeah!

I found some funny titles while searching though, like deepsea engineer. Made me think of Dilbert in scuba-gear or Wally drowing because he traded his gear for sickdays.

I wonder if I'll end up with a title. Not like Adm. Dir. jr. or so but just a title that I can brag about. Be an astronaut amongst janitors so to speak.

"Good day, my name is H and I'm the Direct Assistant Upper Manager."

Thought of the day: Why is it so much faster to get money by doing something illegal?

I'm in this situation that's becoming more and more common here in Norway. I'm just out of school, spent 14 years there and I qualify for nothing. I have zero work experience and I need job. Now, no boss here will hire a young upstart with zero experience due to the "ECONOMIC CRISIS" as they would have to spend money on training (oh no, right?).

I want to get out of this country. I want to be in England with my loved one. Hence I've just finished this really embarresing course in the hopes that it will help me get a job and show that I try.

What has a country come to when a 20 year old, who wants to work and is willing to pretty much anything, can't get a job?
