Thursday, November 26, 2009

Well, I woke up early. I'm in Sweden and it would have been early even in India, which is four hours and thirty minutes ahead of us. It was at 01.50. I got up at 02.45. I sat down by the computer and then I did so for hours. In the afternoon I was out between 14.10 and 15.30. After that I was tired in bed and by the computer. I talked to a couple of friends and I chatted a little bit in the evening. Nothing special happened. It was raining most of the time and the wind was blowing. About six degrees here.

Norway today

So I'm going to Norway today. It's going to be fun. Went to sleep at about 22.30 yesterday and woke up about 04.30. Got up at 05.05, more or less. Later I will pack everything and leave for Norway. I read this morning that they have stolen the aurora borealis from us. I will take it back, believe me!

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

So, yesterday, on November 25, I woke up very early in the morning and I got up at 04.30. After that I did things for many hours. Sometimes I had something to eat. In the afternoon I went to the shop. I was out between 16.30 and 17.45. After eating I was very tired and I went to bed early in the evening, about 20.05. Nothing special happened.

I can't sleep enough

Hello, yesterday I went to bed at about 20.05. Later I woke up getting a text message and after that I slept again until 01.50. That's not even six hours. I went up at 02.45, after trying to fall asleep again. I want to sleep more, but I just can't. So now I have been up for four hours. I think that my friends in Norway sleep like normal people, 23.00-06.30. I will try to do the same there.

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

Hello, this is the weirdest thing I have ever heard Bono singing. We have to forgive him, he was just a baby (24 years old) back in 1984. Today, 25 years ago, one of the greatest pop songs ever was recorded. It was on Sunday, November 25, 1984, they gathered in London to record Do They Know It's Christmas? I love this song and I will probably never stop doing so. Many of the pop heroes of my childhood were participating. But I ask myself how one can thank God the people of Ethiopia are suffering? Absolutely weird in my opinion. Anyway, I thank Bob Geldof and Midge Ure for writing this great song. One can write tons of words about this event. I will not do so, instead I recommend you to read more about it on Wikipedia or to read Ure's autobiography, If I Was...

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Hello, first I want to tell you something and after that I will tell you about what I did yesterday. I made those two phone calls and it went well. The reason why I didn't write right away afterwards was that there were some people coming here. There were to many people around here so I couldn't concentrate on writing.

Well yesterday I woke up early and I also went up early. After that I did many good things but now I cannot remember any in particular. There are always so many things to do and I want everything to be perfect. At about 15.20 I came out from here and about 15.50 I came to that place where Asperger people can hang around. I hadn't been there for 32 days, since October 23. I was there for about 40 minutes. We discussed different things. The two women there are nice to talk to, I like them. After that I went to a library to get some books and after that I returned home to eat. After eating between 17.30 and 18.00, I went to the library again. Between 18.30 and I don't know, but I think it was about 20.10, two persons were presenting Herta Müller and her literture. It was very nice and interesting. They were telling us about the life of Müller and about her books. One of them was reading some excerpts from her books. I really felt like reading all of her books. I made some notes and I would like to write more about it here, but I cannot do that now. I have to other things now. After coming home not much happened. I went to bed at 23.10. Tonight I will try to go to bed at 21.00. I'm sure that I will fall asleep right away if I do so.

A little about different things

Hello, this morning I woke up at 04.00. I went up at 04.30. I tried to fall asleep again but I didn't succeed. After that I did many useful things until 08.30. During that time I ate twice. I went to sleep at 23.10 yesterday which means I have been sleeping way too less. I will really try to go to sleep early tonight. I will really try to do that. My goal is 21.00. I hope I will also do so. I have planned everything I will do today. I need to make some difficult phone calls. I will make them now and when I'm finished, I will write about what I did yesterday. So, now I will start doing that. I hate those phone calls.

Monday, November 23, 2009

So I went up at 04.37 on that day, which was yesterday. After that I planned a lot of things and then I did some of those. Most of what I did, I did before 08.40 in the morning. After having breakfast I did some important things and in the afternoon I wanted to go out. I shaved and finally left home at about 16.05. Came home again around 17.20, after having been buying some important things. In the evening I was very tired. I chatted some and I wrote one or two e-mails. That was it, nothing more happened.

A little about I don't know yet

Hello, this morning I woke up at about 04.20. I think I slept also after that. At 04.55 I went up. Then I felt that I had to do some changes on Wikipedia. There are so many errors there. :( I have to fix everthing there. It's my responsibility... ;) Well, today I want to do many things and I will also do many things. I can't remember what it is right now, but it's all written down.

Sunday, November 22, 2009

Hello, as you already know I went up at 05.00 in the morning on Sunday. I wanted to write a lot yesterday. I did not write a lot. I fixed with all my notes and put everything in order. That is also important. I didn't almost go to Wikipedia at all, very well done of me. I only went to a few places, the most important things. After eating at about 09.00, I did a few things and between 10.30 and 11.30 I chatted with a friend. After that I went through my notes until 13.15. After eating I continued doing things at my desk. By the evening everything was in order. I talked some on the phone and after that I went to bed at about 22.15 and fell asleep immediately.

Good morning!

Hello, today will be a very good day. I woke up at 04.28 and I went up at 04.37. After that I planned my day. There are many things I would like to do and I have made a list of everything. I make many notes about many different things all the time. I write down what I would like to do. Often I don't do these things anyway. Yesterday I went through some of those notes. Some things I had done. Some things are not important. I put different notes in different places. So today will be a very good day, I'm sure.

Saturday, November 21, 2009

Hello folks, yesterday it was Saturday. Today, Sunday, I went up at 05.00. Too early, yes, I'm sleeping too little, that's true. My life is so funny that I want to do many things. Also yesterday, the day I will be writing about now, I went up at about 05.00 in the morning. I started the day with some comments on Wikipedia. Wait a minute, I never stopped being there, more or less. That's not good. Now I have decided only to go to a few of the most important places there, right now. Yes, I didn't do anything else, almost. Very bad. Today, Sunday, will be much better. I want to plan next week and I want to write. I want to write words, words, words.

Friday, November 20, 2009

Hello, as I have already told you, I went up at 04.30 two days ago, on Friday morning. After continuing saving Wikipedia in the Swedish language I continued to stick around on Wikipedia. It's not a good thing to do, but I wanted to see how people reacted. They didn't react until the evening. But I wasn't there for such a long time. At about 11.15 I left home and I went to a museum. At about 13.00 I left the museum and I went eating in a restaurant. Came home again at about 15.15, I guess. After that it was Wikipedia and a little bit of chatting for the rest of the day. I went to bed really late, almost at midnight. Not a very good day.

Thursday, November 19, 2009

Hello again dear readers. I love my readers. I.e., I love very few people ;) So, yesterday I did many things. I woke up at 04.00 and then I tried to sleep more. At about 05.00 I went up. I did different things and then, at about 06.00 I started to do some small changes on Wikipedia. At about 06.35 I discovered that another user wanted to ruin Swedish Wikipedia. It was terrible to read that. He or she wasn't even aware of what he or she was doing. I think it's a he. I have read some things indicating that. Anyway, he wanted to do very good good things there. He had very good intentions, but he didn't understand the consequences of what he wanted to do. I came and I started to rescue the whole project. It's still not over, we still don't have the same opinion. I will continue to struggle for Swedish Wikipedia. I will not surrender yet. After that my sister came and at about 11.00 we went to her place and there we worked with some papers. At about 17.00 we left her home again and I returned at about 17.25. I was very tired in the evening and I turned off the computer really early. At about 21.10 I turned off the light.

Some words about different things

Good morning again. Today, I woke up at 04.15. I fell asleep about 21.15 yesterday. I went up at 04.30 this morning.

After Italy won the match at Cesena about 33 hours ago, I was very sad and therefore I couldn't write yesterday morning. That's not true. The truth is that I had to write some very, very important things on Swedish Wikipedia. I saved the whole project, I would like to say. By the way, I was wrong about how long I will stay in Oslo. I will arrive in about 178 hours from now, in the evening next Friday. I forgot one whole day before, writing about this. One of my readers told me so and I corrected it. I will stay until Monday, November 30. So, for almost three days I will be there. Also this morning I had to continue saving Swedish Wikipedia. Somebody has to do it. I'm able to do, not everybody is. I felt that I had to do it. You know, sometimes people have changed the course of history. I'm doing that in these days. It's not over yet, though. Today i will probably go to a museum.

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Hello, not much happened here yesterday, on November 17. I woke up at about 05.30. After that I was sitting by the computer for many, many hours. I was writing, writing and writing even more. I had something to eat every now and then, also. Actually, I was never even out. I also bought some tickets because next week I will go to Norway. Yes, I know what you say, but it's actually nice. I will only stay there for about 65 hours. It won't harm me too much, don't worry. It took a few hours for me to find out how to go there and so on. That was between 10.00 and 13.00, more or less. In the evening I made some planning for today and I went to bed at about 22.40. I always fall asleep more or less right away. I woke up at 01 something and then at 04.52. I new day started. A day full of adventures. Maybe a film, maybe a Swedish victory. It will be interesting to find out.

Cesena and Videocracy today

Hello everybody, tonight our Swedish boys will play Italy at Cesena, Italy. Of course I hope and I think that we can win. Maybe Sebastian Larsson can do a very good match, who knows? I will probably watch a film at the movies; Videocracy by Erik Gandini. In Italian it's called Videocracy - Basta apparire. Nothing is sure but probably I will watch this film today.

Cesena, tomorrow

Well, in about 38 hours we will play Italy in Cesena. I hope that the glorious Swedish team will beat those Italians. I remember that we beat them 3-0 in Naples once. It was a wonderful thing to humiliate them at home.

Monday, November 16, 2009

Hello, today it's Tuesday and I will write about yesterday, which was a Monday. I woke up early in the morning and I went up early too. I think it was shortly after five o'clock. By the way, today it all started about 05.15. Ok, so yesterday i did different things in the morning and then I ate and after that I went to Wikipedia. I should not do that, but I did so anyway. It's very frustrating to see some of the things people do there. I'm speaking about the version in Swedish. I would like to radically change some things there. After that I had something to eat, took a shower and then I had some to eat again. At about 12.15, I met my friend CC outside my house and we went for a long walk. During this walk we talked about the war in Afghanistan and about the history of that country and about other things which has to do with it. I had read about it and I had made some notes about it, to prepare our walk. At about 13.55 we came to a restaurant and I had a pizza. Before I had finished it, CC went away. I ate the rest of the pizza and then I went home. After that I went for a walk with my sister. That was between 15.00 and 16.15. After that I sat by the computer until 18.00. I ate and then I sat by the computer again and I also made some very important phone calls. I was very tired and I wanted to sleep early, so I turned the machine off. Anyway I didn't go to bed until about 22.30.

Saturday, November 14, 2009

Hello! Maybe you wonder what I did two days ago, on Saturday. I woke up at 05.00 in the morning, after only three hours of sleep. I sat by the computer and I did other things. Now I don't remember what I did. After eating I tried to find out if the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp was in the Province of Upper Silesia or in the General Government. My conclusion, after reading some here and some there, was that it was in the Province of Upper Silesia. I'm sure that it was there. Before I thought that it was outside Germany, like most of the other extermination camps. Between 12.00 and 13.00 my friend came to visit me. She stayed for about 27 hours. We took a long walk here and there in my hometown and she made some photographs. Then we were home and we had dinner and after that we went to a café. There we talked and talked and talked. A little bit after midnight I fell asleep.

Sunday, November 15, 2009

Hello, now it's Monday and I will write about Sunday. November 15 was the birthday of my grandma but she died on the day that Seamus Heaney received the Nobel Prize. Other important things has also happened on November 15. Anyway, I woke up at 05.00 in the morning, after only five hours of sleep and I was really, really tired during the whole day. I sat by the computer and I wrote some things. At 08.30 I knocked on the door where my friend had been sleeping. We had breakfast and then we went for a walk, a tipspromenad. After that not much happened until 15.00, when we went away. She took the bus to her hometown not much later and I went home and I made a couple of phone calls and I ate. At 18.15 I left home and I went watching an Italian film, Pranzo a ferragosto. I fell asleep many times there and I missed the end. It doesn't matter cause this morning I read what happened in it. Yes, I'm not serious. I wanted to see it even though I thought that I would maybe sleep there. Came home, did some things, talked with a friend, had something to eat and went to sleep at around 22.30 I guess.

Saturday, November 7, 2009

Hello, I will tell you about what I did four days ago. If you want to read about interesting things, please do not proceed now. Anyway, I went up early and then I was on the Internet for hours. In the afternoon I went for a walk and after that I was on the Internet again until late in the evening. I was reading and writing during the whole day.

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

Hello, this morning I woke up at 05.30 and I went up at 05.50. But that's enough about today. Yesterday I was writing, reading and listening to the radio until 17.40. After that I had something to eat and then I went to a theatre close to where I live. I went there with two of my friends. It was a very good play and I would like to write about that, but not today. I want to prepare myself a little first and I will not do that now. After the theatre I went home and I wrote some e-mails and then I went to sleep.

Friday, November 6, 2009

Hello, four days ago I didn't do much. Mostly I was tired and I sat down by the computer. In the afternoon I had the intention to take a long walk but instead I stayed by the computer reading the news and reading about books. In the evening I talked to a friend and I chatted some. On that day I also had a Gustavus Adolphus pastry. Those are very nice to eat since they are almost entirely filled with fat and sugar. We eat them on that day since he, Gustavus Adolphus, was killed in the Battle of Lützen on November 6, 1632, which was a Tuesday. Here I would like to write that according to me, he was killed on November 16, 1632. That was also a Tuesday, can you imagine? Like many others through history, he made war in the name of the Bible. That is really mischievous, I think. Maybe I will have another of those pastries on November 16 to really make sure I'm eating it on the right day. I'm also almost sure I'm worth it. What do you think?

Monday, November 2, 2009

Hello, I will also tell you a little about what I did eight days ago. I went up early, around 06.00 o'clock in the morning. At about 06.30 my friend went up, preperad himself and went to work. I fixed some, listened to some music and took a shower. At about 10.45 I met my two friends at Sverigehuset in Hamngatan in Stockholm. Later we went to Nordiska Kompaniet across the street and after that we went for a walk in Drottninggatan. At about 11.55 I left them and I went to take the bus home. I was the last one to come to the bus and after I came on it I started to sleep and after that I read that day's issue of Svenska Dagbladet. It featured a long article on the bitter fight over the proceeds from the sale of the books of Stieg Larsson, who died on November 9, 2004. I came home in the afternoon and I sat down by the computer and then I was sitting there for hours. In the evening I talked to a friend.

Sunday, November 1, 2009

Hello, I will write a little about what I did nine days ago. I was in Stockholm and I woke up rather early in the morning. A little after 10.00 I left the place I was sleeping at and I went to buy some food. Then I met my friends from Italy who was there only for the weekend and we went to Gallerian, which is a mall in downtown Stockholm. After being there for a while we went to Ulriksdal Palace in Solna. We walked around in the area around the palace a little and we attended the so called autumn fair where you could buy almost only crap. We also followed a guided tour in the palace. I was there in 1999 so for me it was a good review. I don't care much about chests with elements of ivory but I think it's interesting to hear about the two kings who have been a lot at Ulriksdal, Charles XV and Gustaf VI Adolf. After having been there we went downtown and there went to many different shops filled with clothes and shoes. I came home again at around 17.20 and I sat down writing some. Not much later my friend came home and we ate together. That was all which happened that Sunday.

Monday, November 9, 2009

Hello, yesterday I was tired cause Sunday evening I had gone to bed really late and as usual I woke up very early in the morning, about 06.30, the morning after. This morning I woke up at 06.10, but I fell asleep before 23.00 yesterday. I almost didn't do anything yesterday. I sat by the computer and I tried to sleep in the afternoon. At 19.00 I came to a library close to where I live. I had read that there would be a lecture there about war and peace in the Nordic countries but instead a male choir of the Nordic Association (Föreningen Norden) was singing songs in five different languages and a man was reading some texts and one of those was an excerpt from The Tales of Ensign Stål by Johan Ludvig Runeberg. After that I came home, fixed a few things and went to bed.

German people are often active on November 9

So, what do I mean? Well, Wilhelm II abdicated and a Republic was proclaimed on November 9, 1918, which was a Saturday. In 1938, Kristallnacht started in the evening of November 9, which was a Wednesday, and in 1989, on a Thursday, the Berlin Wall fell. Three main events on November 9 and two of them meant the end of undemocratic social systems.

Tear down this wall!

I would like to tell you what I remember from Thursday, November 9, 1989. In the evening I was doing my homework in German when my mother all of a sudden called on me to rush to the TV. The Berlin Wall had just become history.

Saturday, October 31, 2009

Hello, that morning, six days ago, I went up early. I don't remember at what time it was, but I know it was early. I did some things on the computer and then I took a shower and then I went out and I did so, I guess, about 08.50. At about 09.20 I took the commuter train to a couple I know. I came to them about 09.55 and we hanged around for about two hours. They gave me some pancakes and we talked about books and radio programs. I also said hello to their dog. At around 12.30 I was downtown again and at 13.16 I met my friends outside a restaurant. Later more people came and in the end we were eight persons there. I had a pizza and we talked about how bad it is in Varese. No, we didn't. ;) At about 15.00 we all left that restaurant and we went to a café in Kungsgatan. We were there for i don't know how long and then we left the place and I returned home to my friend, where I had all my stuff. I wrote e-mails and I hade some to eat. My friend wasn't home at that time. At about 21.10 I went downtown again and I had a walk with my two friends from Italy who were in Sweden only for a few days. We talked about different things and then we went to our homes. A little later my friend came home and we went to sleep.

Friday, October 30, 2009

Hello, on that day, one week ago, I was tired. I didn't sleep very well. It's almost always like that the night or even the nights before I'm travelling. I almost didn't write anything in the morning and after that I was only postponing the packing I had to do before leaving. I started shortly after 12.00 and then I had some to eat and I left home at about 13.40. At about 18.20 I came to Stockholm and right away I went to a couple I know. They have two children, so I played with those children a little and I read to one of them in a book about dinosaurs. At 21.55 I left to go to downtown and at 23.40, more or less, I met my two friends who had travelled there from Italy. We went to their hotel and after that I went to my friend's place, where I was going to sleep and hang around during the weekend. He was still up, it was around 00.30 in the evening. We talked some and then we went to bed.

Thursday, November 5, 2009

Hello, this morning I woke up at 05.30 and the first thing I heard about was what had happened in Texas about eight hours before. When will they learn in the USA that weapons create tragedies? They will never learn, I fear.

Yesterday I woke up a little bit before 07.00 in the morning and I did a few things. After that I almost didn't do anything during the whole day. Some days are like that. Early in the morning I wrote some things but after that I didn't do anything of value until 17.30. I went away to watch a film together with two of my friends. Before the film a scholar were telling us about the director of the film. I fell asleep during the time she was talking and also during the film. After it was all over, a little bit before 21.00, I felt bad. I was freezing and I had a little bit of headache. I came home, wrote some mails, ate and went to bed quite early.

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

Hello dear readers, today it is November 5 and I recall November 5 one year ago. I woke up at 06.19 on that day and I turned on the radio right away. What I heard then was Barack Obama delivering his victory speech. I'm not sure now if it was live, but later I have read that he started just before midnight, Eastern time. I was very content when I heard him. He's not a perfect President, but he is sure much, much better than John McCain would have been. I feel bad only thinking of a world with McCain in the White House. That would have been a disaster.

Anyway, yesterday, after my morning tasks, I wrote some and I made a phone call and after that my sister came to pick me up in her car. We went to her place and I helped to fix some important things in her home. I went away at 11.30 and I came home again at 17.20. During that time we also went for a walk. I had dinner and after that I went to a clinic to get some Pandemrix in my upper left arm. I was very impressed by the organization there. I came in and I saw a man sitting by a table. He gave me a form in which I had to fill in my name and my Social Security number. I also got a queue ticket with 054 written on it. After filling in the form I went to a queue. After a while I noticed that a lady behind me had a queue ticket with 053 on it so I told her to stand before me in the queue. By the way, she was born on a Saturday in 1931. We advanced and I noticed that the number on the ticket had no signifigance. There were three nurses vaccinating people and when I was number one in the queue I only had to look at them and after a while one of them caught my eye and I went to her. She asked me if I had taken any other vaccinations during the last two weeks. I told her I hadn't, which was also true, and she put the needle in my arm. It was over in less than 15 seconds and I returned home. All people working there had special clothes so that one easily could understand who was doing what. As I said, I was impressed. I thought to myself; this is how it is to live in a the Occident. You don't have to pay anything and everything is planned in a good way and it goes very smoothly. I didn't even have to show my ID card. I'm happy I was born in Sweden. I came home and I was lazy by the TV and then I was talking on the phone for about one hour and I chatted, but very little.

Thursday, October 29, 2009

Hello, I will write some about that day now. While eating in the morning my sister asked me if she could come. Yes! So she came and she had to write something on the computer. I shaved and then went for a walk. On Friday, October 23, I thought that I had seen a person that I used to know, so I went to the same shop in which I had seen her six days earlier only to see if it really was her. After a few minutes in that giant store I saw her again. I circled around her a little bit until I got a clear view of the badge with her name on it. About then I was one meter away from her. She was the right person and we started to talk with each other. 20 seconds later she had to start working again and I went home. After eating I went for one more walk for about an hour. When I came home I made some notes with key phrases in French. At a library close to where I live there's a so called French language café every Thursday at 18.00. So I went there to see if maybe I could start the same thing, but in Italian. I noted the key phrases to able to say who I am and some other things. I came early and I talked to the guy who has tha café by the library and he told me that those Francophones are never there. I told him that all the information about this says they are. He said I was right but that they are never there anyway. He told me they are in another café in town and he told me he doesn't know why it is like that. I went to the other place and I saw them but I didn't talk to them. That was because I was late and because of the fact that all of them seemed to be speaking French like I'm speaking Swedish and also because I was irritated by the disinformation. It also seemed to be so crowded there. When things not are as planned I tend to get a little bit confused and worried. Later I have read about this again and it is told that anyone is welcome, no matter how well they speak French and that there's always a person there to help. I went home again and I sat down by the computer again. My sister had left. I may return there to speak some French again, some day.

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Hello, yesterday I went up at 08.00. Yes, it was very late and I had been sleeping for many hours, but I was so tired after a few days of bad sleeping. After eating I took my things out of my backpacks and after that I ate some and then I didn't do anything more during the whole day, more or less. Often it takes me a couple of days to get on the right track again. No, I cannot remember that I did anything special during the afternoon. I was only tired. After dinner I slept a little and then I made a few phone calls and I chatted some. Today will be much better. Yesterday I aslo felt that I have a cold but it feels much better today.

I'm back

Hello, I haven't been writing anything for many days. It's because I have been away for a few days and I have also been tired. Now my life is back on the normal track again. I don't say that it's better like it is now, but it's at least more normal for me. I will write, but now I will eat. I went up at 07.00 this morning. Yes, I know it's late and I'm sorry for that. ;)
