I cleared the iTunes Library (that is, I put all the songs on the backup disk) to make room for new music. I’m thinking of posting more tracks. And I started working on a new theme.

A couple of days ago I remarked that New Year’s resolutions are ridiculous. Change has to start right away - the idea of the ‘clean start’ tends to keep you from beginning, and also allows for circumstances to play a bigger role than they should. In the end, new year’s resolutions mostly serve to maintain the belief in change, while continuing in the same ole patterns.

I wish someone in their right to do so would tell me, “you’re still young, you’ll understand more when you get older.”
Last transfer: in an hour I’ll be in Skellefte. I’m happy for the dark, I don’t want to see how small Bastuträsk is. Bet it’s a hellhole.
“Oh my god, what happened to your hand?” “I tried to fit my fist in my mouth, and I did it, but then my jaw locked and I panicked.”
Dressed for -26 degrees C (I hope). Heading for Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city to meet the founder and head of the Icehotel.
Airports are like gated communities. Love it.
Exuberance is incredibly heavy to bear.

Where is it I hide? In my fatalism, or in my dreams of change?
Does the character of your native language affect your concept of beauty?
I’m trying to enjoy my life, but it’s one of those concept pieces and I haven’t really grasped the idea.
There were some mutes here that were looking for their seats. I thought, “isn’t it obvious?” But they weren’t in the quiet section.

Don’t ask for redemption, don’t ask to be spared.
Am in Umeå, at the Mekka café. Did not sleep very well on the train. Fat guy snoring. Oh well.
Train to Umeå is a ten-hour ride. It’s like traveling transatlantic. I’ll be there when I wake up.

Still tense; a little off. A little weird.
When was the last time I did something for real? When it wasn’t pretense where I lowered my ambitions? I need a shake.

It may take a little while before I get my tweet back on for real, but when I do I think it’ll be pretty sweet tweeten. Persevere.
WELL DONE BO! Managed to solve problem with emails not being sent from website. Hello!
That guy looks so Jewish it’s ridiculous. Feels like I’m in the US. Wish I were.

I am so happy there is nothing I’ve said I’ll start/stop doing “as soon as I’ve moved to Stockholm.” Progress!
ALWAYS when I think stuff is missing from my apartment, I think someone stole it. Almost never is it actually gone.
Some are spoken to, though they don’t know it. Yet they listen, believing they are overhearing words meant for someone else.
It’s supposed to hurt.
I long to say, ‘goodbye, I’ll be a while, I hope not to see you before you’ve changed that I mistake you for a goal.’
Did not see much of Mars Volta. Saw Depeche and Fever Ray. No one noticed obvious similarity betw FR’s ‘Coconut’ and Skinny Puppy’s ‘Love’?
So stoked about Mars Volta tonight. Hopeful about it being the best concert in history.

The West have become part nihilist, part socialist, to use popular terms, and the left don’t believe in much either. I myself am drunk.
Percentage of twitterers who will post “I want you back” within 24 hours: 63%
I dreamt about a huge mobile fascist orphanage/village, ruled by a guy in a leather coat and pulled by a donkey, which stopped outside a …
I’m going home to eat a carrot and sleep. Twitter updates are at an all-time low.

I am constantly looking for a teacher who permits; I am looking to listen to myself.
I am a boat, not a bridge. I needn’t tread on myself to get to the other side, as I’ll be carried across.
Remember when you learn something new, that you will suck at it at first, and it won’t improve your life at once.

Threw up a little.
“Take both jobs, and learn what it’s like to work hard for half a year.” Alright.
Fall will consist of marketing, networking, traveling, planning, booking, and listening to music. Hipsterdom inevitable, resistance futile.
This hospital has one doctor and one surgeon. Ftw.
I need shitloads of new techno. It’s about time I got musically active again.
Listened to the Docklands documentary and got the kind of mad that makes my chest hurt.
He who never gives up is spared the pain of the doubt.
I need adversaries to do it well.
I need to focus more on work, effectively using Twitter less.
