ABOUT ME

I'm finding it hard to write something here so I'm just going to write down my view on a few things and subjects.

Nice black shoes: I like nice black leather shoes but I don´t like clubs where you have to wear them to get in.

I live in the center of Reykjavik with my girlfriend.

Printers: I don't trust them. They seem to run out of ink way too fast.

I hear voices in my head that give me surprisingly good carrer advice. They usually say such things as "Be nice to the human resource manager" and "don't hurt your coworkers". I wouldn't have my job today if I didn't always listen to them.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not living my personal philosophy at the moment so I'm not sure if I should share it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have housed one couple but I plan in the near future to travel and have others house me.

09.03.08: They left me a reference and it seems like they didn't hate me after all. That's good because I was about to send Anthony a text message and write it all in capital letters. That won't be necessary now.

18.03.08 it’s been 9 days now since Primrose, Joerg and Barbara left my apartment and I still haven't received an extremely positive review from Primrose! When I am confronted with difficult situations like this one, I ask myself, what would Jesus do? He would probably nail her to a cross as that was very fashionable in his days but I’m not going to that for three reasons. 1) She is in Norway, so I can’t easily get to her 2) It’s illegal, in Norway at least (I checked on the internet and then double checked my making some phone calls to a Norwegian police station) 3) She listed me as a type 7 friend and that just has to count for something! I mean if you start crucifying your type 7 friends then it’s very likely that you have to rethink your friendship rating system. So I’m going to give Primrose another 9 days to write me an awesome reference until I start making some crucifixion plans.

28.03.08
Yesterday I had a lengthy discussion with my human resource manager about the pros and cons of crucifixion as a means to remind your friends of their promises. Right from the beginning of the conversation he seemed to be completely against it. His idea was to send Prim an email and politely remind her before I started making more detailed crucifixion related plans (did you know that it’s illegal to travel from Iceland to Norway with a 2 meter tall wooden cross?). I decided to take his advice and send that email. As you can see Prim responded so my plans to travel to Norway and crucify an Australian tourist have been postponed for the time being. This means that the time spent on the farm, last weekend, practicing crucifixion on various farm animals was a waste of time (it is surprisingly difficult to nail a sheep to a cross unless you put it to sleep first, the nail just doesn’t go through the hoof that easily and spreading their arms on the cross is almost impossible)

11.04.08
Over the past few days, I have received a few messages from couch surfers around the world condemning that I crucified a sheep. Most of them argue that animal testing is wrong and therefore what I did was also wrong. But what I did was not animal testing, it was animal practising and last time I checked then that was still considered ok. I´ve know ever since I made my Labrador, Alexia eat detergent that animal testing is wrong so nobody has to tell me that.

18.04.08
Would someone tell me how this happened? I am the fucking vanguard of couch surfing in this country. My apartment was the couch to own. Then some other guy came out with a three-cushion couch. Was I scared? Hell, no. Because I hit back with a little thing called the double velvet couching turbo extreme comfort. That's three cushions and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened—the bastards Brian came over. Now I´m standing around with my cocks in my hand, offering a double velvet couching turbo extreme and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly I´m the chump, Brian has not, and it’s been a week since he left, written me an extremely positive review. Well, fuck it. I’m going to five cushions.
You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. What part of this don't you understand? If three cushions is good, and four cushions is better, obviously five cushions would make me the best fucking couch that ever existed. Comprende? I didn't claw my way to the top of the couchsurfing game by clinging to the two-cushion industry standard. I got here by taking chances.

Interests

In my free time I enjoy drinking, traveling and just generally acting like an idiot. Watching TV is also a big hobby.

Bath shelves: Yes, bath shelves and not just any bath shelves! I’m talking about my own specially designed bath shelves. You can ask yourself if it’s possible to have your own bath shelves as a hobby and I’m here to tell you that’s possible. It might not be a very demanding hobby once the shelves are up and finished and in use but I can spend ridiculous amount of time just looking at them and wondering how great they look and how much it would hurt to fall on them face first after taking a shower because they are made out of glass.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just read the Pillars of Earth by Ken Follet and I thought it was great. That's actually a lie, it was an audio book and I didn't read it, I listened to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a pigeon in Paris eat dog shit! Really...amazing stuff. I mean why not just fly to MacDonalds and eat some french fries that people have left behind? I just don't belive that the pigeon was so hungry that it just had to eat some dog shit. Truly amazing! That's what it was. That pigeon was just messing with me!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you want to check the temperature of anything, do not under any circumstances check it with your face. Sure, there are some people who will tell you that the face and specially the lips are the best body part to check if things are hot or not but you can seriously injure your face if the object that you are checking turns out to be extremely hot.
