I'm home!

2 min read
So as some of you are probably aware of I went on vacation to the Netherlands!

I spent an entire week there and I have to admit it did not dissappoint. Everything I was expecting and hoping for was there and it contributed to a smashing time in the land of complete opposites of what I am used to. In this journal I will do a short summary on all the country related things I did while there.

To start things off I spent my week in the city named Alkmaar(not Amsterdam, wat u stupido?!) know for it's cheesemarket and cheese church in particular. Once off the train I used a good amount of time figuring out where my hotel where while staring at all the fancy old windmills along the way. Once I arrived there I was shown in to where I was staying and proceeded to set up shop for the coming week.

The week that followed(which felt like no more than maybe a day or two) was spent on visiting several museums namely the cheesemuseum, beer museum and beatles museum(erhmagerd) followed by frequent dinners at a chinese resturant I totally fell in love with where I practised my underdeveloped chopstick skills. Some days where used for travelling and I visited Leiden and Haarlem(very briefly) in which I proceeded with my museum conquest.

The rest of my time believe it or not were spent on bicycling, turns out Holland is one of the finest places in europe for cycling and I aquired buns of steel while exploring every knok and cranny of the areas around where I lived. I also got to practice my dutch while asking for directions(No, I don't know what google maps is) and while I was at it discovering that to most people though I sounded danish.  

So that is a short summary of my vacation, highly likely I forgot a good amount of things but the bottom line is that I had a good time and I will most certiently come again!

Hey hey people!

It sure is long between lifesigns from me these days and for good reason! These days I am working most of the time and don't have much time to devote to dA, but I am hoping to change this soon! You might ask how and why now, well it is because it is closing in on christmas and as we all know it is a periode of more spare time and inspiration and with the occasion in mind I decided to gift myself an early gift and buy a one week vacation to Holland(suprise suprise!) where I will as probably one of the first people in history not spend the time in Amsterdam. Nope, infact I will be staying in a city named Alkmaar which is famous for cheese mainly and while there I will spread norwegian brown cheese propaganda the hours I'm not spending on ambushing :iconlaeneris: he he >:{D

Outside of such evil schemes I am using most days practicing my guitar playing and is starting to get decently good at it now and have in a very small scale started writing song texts which I hope to put in here with time and maybe even record soundtracks when I get that far! This also feels like a good time to say I will love ideas for texts if you have anything on mind, treat it as free comissions I suppose(sorcery, I know!?!?)! :D

As a last little point I have started learning dutch and it is about as hilarious as it's pronounciations are impossible so when I finally get around to holland people are probably gonna have loads of fun on my behalf =P I swear you better not laugh, yeah you know who you are!

Hello fellow deviants, it has been a while hasn't it!?

Where have I been and what I have I been up too you ask?
Well, for the last half year or so I have been very busy working and looking for apprenticeships to continue my electrician education, this has taken up much of my time and stressed me enough that I haven't felt very creative for quite some time. Now recently that I finally had some time to sit back down and relax properly I was writing a few things, suddenly realising that everything I wrote turned into litterature that reminded me more of song texts or verses than poetry that I am used to writing. First I didn't think about it too much, but the more I wrote the more it came to me how much I  love music and how it has always been in the back of my mind that that I want to pick up an instrument and learn how to play. 

The day after I went onto the great big webz and looked over some instruments and figured this was as good a time as any and decided to order, almost a week later the package arrives at my door and I pack out my brand new LA bass guitar. With a large grin I sit down and start practicing, quickly realizing that mastering this is gonna take a long time!

So as a short summary I have picked up an instrument and started playing and as soon as I get a proper amount of time I will likely be putting up some songtexts and other minor works, so ypu guys can see how I am getting along with my quest!

Good Summer!

4 min read
Hello people!

I got my summer vacation a good period ago, but I haven' t gotten around to write this yet because I'm lazy ^^;
But here I am to update what's going on! :D

So basically my family will be traveling all summer long, but since I'm semi-allergic to warm weather I have decided
to stay home during most of it :) So I will watch the dog, wash my car and hopefully spend lots of time with my girlfriend
through the summer :3

I am also making an effort to get back into my writing habits and I'm kicking this off with a poem about my lovely
honey and the summer I hope we will get to spend together~ We are jumping into our 10'th month together now
tomorrow and I would like to make it extra special and show her that I look really forward to the two closing
months of our first year~

I am also still playing games and if anyone has any good games, especially lesser known indiegames to recommend me
I would be happy to check those out aswell! I can't only swim, tan and BBQ all summer long now, can I?

Lastly I would like to mention that I am taking commissions/requests out June, these will of course depend on how many I'm able to make so if your late you might end up in queue or I may decline it. But that doesn't mean your not free to try again at a later point, it's FREE after all! :D There is also certain things I won't include in my texts like extreme gore/ racism but lesser occurrences of violence/sexual material can be discussed individually for their respective works.

I've also got a point contest coming up, so keep your eyes open for that! :)

That concludes this short update, have a good summer and a wonderful time with friends/family :heart:
