I read an article by a 21 years old today who, he claimed, was probably the only guy his age without Facebook. He had a really interesting point that I never considered before, namely how Facebook is full of people at parties, at the beach, snowboarding in the mountains, all sorts of nicerys. No one is ever up there with their “drunk alone”-pictures and so on. In other words, it turns into a competition of who’s got the most fulfilling life, full of glamourous features and so forth. Interesting.

Makes me think about this blog, maybe you think about it too. Why am I writing so relatively seldom? Because that’s the frequency with which I’m doing “interesting” things? Not really. Some one called their weekdays “grå vardag”. I don’t have that (grey weekdays). Not that my life is full with social events, exotic travels and this, that and the other. BUT. I do have a life that to me is very fulfilling indeed. Also, I believe that everything we say and do is in a way a kind of exercise of power. If I say that I have dinnerparties every tuesday (I don’t), and drink champagne after my massage on fridays (I don’t), I attempt to make this a normality, something that “lesser” elements should also strive to achieve. To me it’s essential that my blogging, nor my music is something carried out in a way where theology, music and cooking is supposed to be normality or a standard to measure others by.

I appreciate that you stayed connected with me, through my blog. But make no mistake, I feel honored that you want to make my music a part of your grey or non-grey facebook or no-facebook everyday. That doesn’t mean that I expect you to value, prioritize or do, think and say the kind of things I prioritize, do, think and say.

Just a spin off from todays news paper.
Thanks for keeping on stopping by my place.
