So, here we are again. This morning I slept until 05.15 and then I listened to the radio before getting up at 05.45. Yesterday I fixed with many important things until 10.00. It's hard to explain what it was. Let's say that I administered my life. I planned what I have to do and when I have to do it. After that I took a shower and then I went for a walk and I also bought some food. After coming home I talked with my mother and we talked about interesting things. I was very, very tired so I tried to sleep. Maybe I slept a little. Went out at about 17.20 and talked with a friend on the phone. In the evening I helped my sister by reading what she had written and look for errors. After that I did the same to a friend. Nothing special happenend, as you can see and that's how I want it to be.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

Hello again, it's morning. This night, which ended only about one hour ago, I didn't sleep very well. I woke up many times. Got up at 05.20. Yesterday morning I was writing e-mails between 05.45 and 08.45. After that I ate and then I tidied up here and then it was some Internet again. That wasn't well done, but sometimes it's like that. In the afternoon I was very tired but anyway I forced myself to go to the shop and to take a walk. I did so between 16.00 and 18.00. In the evening I chatted with a couple of friends and I talked some on the phone. Went to bed too late, at 23.00, after some TV. Very little TV and I fell asleep while watching it. I hope this will be a very good day.

Monday, October 26, 2009

Hello again, I went up at five o'clock in the morning and then I started to do important things and I did so, by the computer, until about 10.00. After that I shaved and then I went to the supermarket. Had something to eat and then I went to my sister. I helped her to get to a place and then I came home again. Ate and got a very important phone call. It lasted for more than 30 minutes. After that, at 15.00, I went for a walk. Came home one hour later and went to fetch my sister. After that a relative who recently has turned 40 came here. At 21.00 I met a friend on the Internet and one hour later I started to watch TV. After a while I went to bed cause I was very tired. Today I went up at 04.50. Now a very good day starts.

Sunday, October 25, 2009

Hello, I went up early that day. Well, it wasn't too difficult since standard time started a few hours before I went up. After that it was Internet for many hours. I wrote some e-mails and I did some other important things. Late in the afternoon I went out for a walk. And then it was Internet again and some phone calls. I went to bed early, a little after 22.00 in the evening. It was great cause I was very tired. I can't think of having done more things than that.

Radioactive waste will become our death

Hello, I have just heard something I didn't know about before and which makes angry. Angry? Well, I have already given up. Since 1993 it's forbidden to dump radioactive waste in our oceans, from ships. 1993 was just a while ago. I remember 1993 very well, it wasn't long ago. 1993 was the year of What's Up? by 4 Non Blondes and I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) by Meat Loaf, do you remember? So they waited until 1993 to stop this insanity. But listen now, that wasn't even the worst thing I heard today. It's still not forbidden to dump that waste from land into the sea. So all around the world this waste is dumped in the water anyway. When will this cease to happen? Everybody knows that in the future this will only bring death.

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Hello, I went up early that day and what happened then? Well, not much. At about 13.30 my nephew came here and I was supposed to teach him some Castilian. I did so, but most of all I explained to him how grammar works. He stayed here until 20.00 something. After that I talked to a friend and then I read the news on the Internet. That was it. While I was sleeping, time changed back to standard time. It's interesting that we call it standard time, since we only have it for five months. Daylight saving time we have for seven months. In North America they generally have daylight saving time before Europe in the spring and after Europe in the fall so there it's even more weird.

Cesena, November 18, 2009

A Wednesday in a few weeks Italy will play Sweden in Cesena. I'm sure our boys will beat those World Champions. I guess it will be Italy 0-1 Sweden.

When Doves Cry

Recently I have often been singing When Doves Cry by Prince. It's such a good song. It came in 1984 and I assure you that the best pop music came in 1984.

Friday, October 23, 2009

So on Friday, that was yesterday, I woke up at about 07.00 and then I went up at around 08.00. I shaved for the first time in many days and I made a very important phone call. I also wrote a lot in the beginning of the day. Then I went to get some things which I stored in May. I looked through the boxes and while opening one of them I felt a strong stench. It was like the stench of a corpse. The only problem was that I was sure about not having put any corpse in that box and by the way it was too small for a corpse. After a couple of seconds I found a plastic bag with three onions. Those onions were in a bad condition. I decided not to use them next time I cook. I even threw them away. After getting my winter jacket, my gloves, a book and some socks from different boxes and taking them home, I went to that place where Asperger people hang around. I came there at about 14.30 and stayed for an hour, until they closed at 15.30. We were seven persons there. The two who work there, a guy, a woman, two girls and me. It was told that the place will be closed down in the end of December. Didn't I say that such a place costs money to run? Didn't I say that I was surprised it even existed? Soon it doesn't anymore. We discussed the Taizé Community, Frère Roger, his death, Vadstena Abbey, Nydala Abbey and pilgrimages. After that I went for a long walk which lasted for two hours and twenty minutes. I stopped by the library for a short while and I also went to a mall to buy some batteries. I think that I saw someone there I used to know. So, then it was dinner and after that I chatted and talk with friends for hours.

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Hello, Thursday was not a good day. The start was bad and therefore I didn't get much done. My mother vacuumed here and because of that it was all a mess. I didn't take any walk. So what did I do? I wasted more time than many people do during one whole week. At least, after dinner I helped my stepfather to change to winter tires on the car. In the evening I read a lot about what happened in Uppsala on Thursday; The Church of Sweden decided that it will let same-sex couples get married there. I'm not a member of that church but anyway I find these matters interesting.

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

So, after yesterday morning I made some important phone calls and after that had some to eat. I eat a lot, I think. Anyway, after that, at about 14.00, I left home and I took a long walk for about 90 minutes. At the same time, at least for about 30 minutes, I talked with a friend on the phone. She had been to Florence for about seven days so she didn't tell me anything about how it had been there. At 15.30 I entered that place where Asperger people can hang around in the afternoon and I hanged around for about one hour. Except for me there were three other persons there. One guy and the two women working there. We talked about soccer and tennis. I took a new walk after that, for about 40 minutes. Then I came home and the evening started. So it was dinner and then phone calls and the computer for hours. I talked on the phone with a couple of friends and I chatted with a couple of other friends. With one of those I had a competition about which school is the worst, the Italian school or the Swedish school. We agreed on a tie after telling each other how bad they were by the use of many examples. Shortly after 22.00 I turned the machine off and prepared myself for the night. This morning I woke up at about 05.15 but I didn't get up until 07.40.

About getting up early in the morning

I have got some comments about not being able to do things in the afternoon and in the evening. I want to explain that it has almost nothing to do with physical energy. It has almost exclusively to do with mental energy. Therefore it has little to do with how many hours I have been sleeping the night before. I can get a lot done in the first part of the day even if I'm tired. Even If I sleep for nine hours of more I don't get things done after the middle of the day. Now I feel like writing something which is very important for me to express and that is that even if I can't explain this it does not mean I'm not right. But of course I'm willing to discuss these things with my friends. I can't understand this but I'm very sure about how I feel and how it is for me. And, as I said, even if I can't explain it, I'm right. I have to write this because some people say that things are not in a certain way if you cannot explain why and even if you sometimes can explain why, they don't understand anyway and then they continue not to accept what you're saying. I don't agree with that way of thinking. One more thing I would like to emphasize is that I don't wake up by the help of an alarm clock. I almost never do that. I hope that I have made myself clear now.

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Hello, this morning I woke up at 04.55. I tried to fall asleep again but it didn't happen. At 05.45 I went up and I started to do things. Enough about that now. So yesterday, October 20, I did many things in the morning and then I made some important phone calls. After that I took a shower and then I went away. I took a long walk and I also went to buy some pens. I also went to a place in this town where you can go if you suffer from Asperger syndrome or ADHD. I don't think it's an interesting place for me to hang around at, but at least I wanted to learn what it was about and probably I will go there a few times just to see how it is. So what do people do there? The answer is that they just hang around. When I was there, nobody else was there and therefore one of the people working there could show me around and give me all information and answer all my questions about this. I have to say that I'm very surprised that such a place exists. You know, it costs money. After being there and after the walk I came home and in the evening I was talking to two of my friends. Went to bed at 22.40 and by then I was really tired.

I just don't get anything done

Lately I have started to get up very early in the morning. Today it was 05.15. So why do I do this? The real reason is that I get a lot of things done in the morning and until about 13.00. After that I just don't get anything intellectual done. I don't know why, I cannot understand why and I think a lot about why it is like that. I hate it but I have to accept it. I can talk and I can chat but I feel to anxious to write and to do many other things. So it's better to go to bed early and then start to do all those things right away when I wake up and I'm full of energy. It's like an invisible force which impedes me to get the mental energy to do anything. Yes, it was a very big problem when I went to school and when I was studying. Is this anything you recognize?

Monday, October 19, 2009

Hello, yesterday I went up really early, around 06.00 in the morning. I started to write right away. The it was breakfast around 09.00 and after that i made many important phone calls. After that I cut my hair. I always do it myself and now it's three millimeters. After that I helped a friend and then we talked some and after that I went to the supermarket and then I went to the library to return a book and to get a new one I had been waiting for for about three weeks. I had not read the one I returned. In the evening I was talking to some people and so on. My mother was in a very good mood and made jokes and was laughing. I wanted to go to bed early, but I didn't turn off the light until 23.00. 17 hours run so fast when you're having fun. I had fun. I almost always have fun.

Sunday, October 18, 2009

Hello, I went up early in the morning, at 05.30. I had gone to bed shortly after 22.00 the night before. During the last days my mother has told me that we have to clean the windows before it gets cold. We had to do it in a day without rain and almost without any wind. Sunday was such a day. Me and my stepfather started at 10.30 and we continued until 16.00. There were many windows and most of them has three layers of glass and therefore we had to do six surfaces on every one of them. In the beginning my stepfather teached me how to do it well. At 14.50 my sister came and she wanted to have some help writing something. She stayed until 19.15, more or less, and I helped her after finishing with the windows. After my sister went way I shaved and chatted some. I went to bed shortly after 22.00 in the evening.

Saturday, October 17, 2009

I woke up very early, before seven o'clock. I was tired and I didn't do much. In the morning I was listening some to the radio and after that I was on Internet and I talked some on the phone. Also in the afternoon I was on Internet too much. After eating a pizza I chatted with some friends and a little after ten I went to sleep.

Friday, October 16, 2009

Hello, now I will tell you a little bit about my Friday. I went up early and I walked away to the hospital here. It takes me about 25 minutes to go there and I went there for an Asperger thing. It was very good there and then I retured home. When I came home I had some to eat and after that I went to the supermarket. To get there I have to walk for about 25 minutes. I really had to go there and to tell the truth I did so two days too late. Thursday I had only had filmjölk with muesli or with corn flakes, except for some pancakes. Now I finally could get also bread. After returning from the store, at 12.00, I ate, wrote some mails, took a shower and did some other small things. At about 15.00 my friend CC came and we went out almost right away. We walked to a resturant which we have been to for a few times. It took us about 25 minutes to walk there. We had a pizza and talked about Swedish political history for about two and a half hours. We talked about the kings, the wars and other significant things from 1523 and on. When we came out again it was raining, even though, at least in the beginning, CC tried to pretend it wasn't. The wind was also very strong and therefore returning home wasn't too pleasent. CC took the car home and when I came in I had to change since my clothes were quite wet. That evening I was watching some TV on the computer and then I went to sleep.

Thursday, October 15, 2009

Hello again, yesterday I didn't do many significant things. In the morning I had to do some important administrative things and after that I was tired and therefore I rested. I made one important phone call in the afternoon and after that I was only on the phone or chatting with friends. I hope that more things will happen today. I wanted to go to the supermarket and the library, but I changed my mind and I didn't even leave the building. The wind was blowing and it was less than five degrees.

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Hello again, today I fixed a lot of things I had to fix after my trip to Stockholm and I wrote some small e-mails. At 12.35 I went to my aunt and I came home at 17.20. Even though my aunt is a woman, she... ;) Anyway, she and her husband live in a house and we were eating and talking about different things. Mostly about how things were before. I went there by foot and by bus and I went home by foot. It takes more or less 65 minutes to walk home from there. Outside it was very cold, only four degrees, and the wind was blowing. I can hear the waves of the lake I'm living by. Well, that's more or less what has happened today. I will go to bed early.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

So, yesterday I went up early, in Kungsholmen in Stockholm. Then me and my friend, whos place I stayed at, went away by foot. I came to the bus at 07.54 and then we went away. There were very few people on the bus. I read a book and in Södertälje it was snowing. The last part of the trip there was some snow around and on the road and even if there was a woman driving the bus it all went well. Came home and started to fix things. In the evening I was helping two of my friends. Went to bed early.

Barack Obama is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009

As I recently wrote, this is not my field. I got really surprised when Thorbjørn Jagland said Barack Obama on TV not long ago. At least he didn't speak Nynorsk like the one they used to have before, Ole Danbolt Mjøs. It was terrible to listen to that guy. As I have written earlier today, and I will continue to state the same thing, credibility is everything in this world. The Norwegian Nobel Committee has less credibilty now than one hour ago. I wonder what those Baptists of the Bible Belt think about this. If they have ever heard of the Nobel Peace Prize, I'm not sure. I have a feeling that they don't love Barack Obama. He wants to help too many poor Americans being able to get basic healthcare without having to leave their homes. Can we accept that? ;)

Oslo, Norway, 11.00

Hello, here it's 10.25 right now and in about 35 minutes the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 will be announced. I read on the site of the Swedish national radio that Barack Obama might win the prize. Is that the same guy who, I think it was on January 22, promised to close down the detention camp of Guantanamo Bay within one year and who later changed his mind and who keeps troops in Afghanistan? Well, can he really get this prize? Credibility is everything in this world, everything, and therefore those Norwegians cannot award him the prize. I don't have a clue who can win the prize. Often I have never heard of the people and the organisations who get this prize. This is really not my field. No, it's really not my field. Do you understand what I mean, CB? ;)

I was wrong again

Herta Müller got the prize. There are leaks in that academy! Englund is not reading very well.

Claudio Magris this time?

Hello again, when I'm writing this there are only 18 minutes left until Peter Englund will tell us who will win the Nobel Prize in 2009. I guess and I hope it will be Claudio Magris from Italy. Probably I'm wrong. Many times I have not even heard of the person who gets the prize. This morning I heard on Swedish radio that yesterday many people started to bet on Herta Müller. If she gets the prize I will suspect that there are leaks also this year, like last year and that would be terrible. I remember last year when I heard Horace Engdahl on the radio talking about him knowing who was leaking information. He wasn't too happy. The people on Swedish national radio who work with these issues have made a list of those they think it might be. These are: Amos Oz, Herta Müller, Joyce Carol Oates, Philip Roth, Thomas Pynchon, Assia Djebar, Adonis, Haruki Murakami, Tomas Tranströmer and Mario Vargas Llosa. Their favourites are Philip Roth, Herta Müller, Amos Oz, Joyce Carol Oates, Péter Nádas, Jon Fosse, Richard Ford and John Ashbery. OK, now there are only a few minutes left and I publish this now.

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

Hello, today I have done many things. I started before seven o'clock this morning and then I did many good things for many hours. I bought some tickets cause I will soon travel. I will go to Stockholm in a few days. It was difficult to buy those tickets cause I didn't understand all of the information on the site. I also had to go and fix some things on my bank account on internet. Between nine and twelve I made many important phone calls. I don't like to make those. I really don't like it. I may even hate it. But I had to do it and I did it and I did it very well. About ten or more of those I made today. After that I ate some and I fixed with many different things and at about two I went out. I went to a bank and after that I went to another bank and then I went to a library and then I came home again. I was home for about five minutes and then I went to the supermarket and there I bought some food. On my way home I met, for the first time in this century, a woman I used to know before. We went to school together when we were young. She had her son and her dog with her. We took a walk together and talked about many different things. After that I called another friend and we also talked a lot. I came home at about five and had some bread to eat. After that I went out again, but only for about twenty minutes. After that I have been on the phone and on internet. I walked for almost three hours and I felt very good after doing so. I will soon go to bed. Tomorrow will be another day with many important things to do.
