thanks! =)

 

yeah great music, hope you enjoy it

there is some stuff like explosions there I think but there's more metal

in one case (Cult of luna) they start off post-rock, then they change it into kind of doom metal, it's really interesting

 

 

 

 

but yeah small update

lately there have been protests against high oil prices here

professional truck drivers have been closing off many roads

which has been controversial, cause they haven't told anyone, so ambulances haven't been able to get past...

and two days ago a crowd gathered at a protest place and there was actually a riot, for the first time in iceland since 1968, fourty years ago

actually the police kind of instigated it, that's been very disputed as well

weird shit

 

anyway yesterday there were speculations about a protest downtown in front of parliament, so I went there to check since I was down there anyway but there wasn't anything

I was thinking of calling shit to the police, they clearly overreacted in my opinion, brought maze, which they sprayed on people doing nothing...for example.

but nothing happened, so I went away.

 

so yesterday was the first day of summer (yeah I ask myself too, WHY on earth now, lol)

so there was a small concert downtown, that's why I was there

which was really nice, it was with this band that's actually kinda like the explosions in the sky of iceland

they make such beautiful music, and they're great live

 

 

so today was dimission, we the graduates entertaining the rest of school

me and some friends were planning on doing a baywatch scene with spraytan and those red shorts lol

but we couldn't get it done in time

so I just wore this really weird green hat that looks like something sigur rós would wear

kinda like this except green:

so I didn't have any scene to entertain with though, only thing I did was dance on stage when everyone graduating did

it was fun

I haven't exactly been a model citizen on here lately anyway so I figure you're not losing any valuable asset.

WTF?! Lies! All lies! haha Look I want you to be happy but don't think you won't be missed cause you will be. I think for many of us there's a degree of apathy on the boards now, I stay on for a few key things, a handful of people, and basically that's it. We all have (I think) friends in this place and while I know interest has waned over time yes there are other forums to get together and catch up. Life's been busy for all of us. No excuse, just busy - and easily distracted. But you and Vash (esp you) are like one of the backbones of this virtual community for me. I remember the 'good old days' *groans* with fondness. Ah memories. But we all move on. Keep moving or stagnate. Empathize with your sentiment.

 

Anyways just wanted to drop by and say a long overdue hello - and by the looks of it goodbye. The guitar is sweet. Oh and that thing about the proposed Baywatch skit that didn't eventuate cracked me up out loud hardcore! :D Funny shit right there! Damn, pity we couldn't see you do that and load it on YouTube or something. Hahahaha. Oh mercy!

 

Well hey congrats with the band/s, best of luck getting studio time, hope it works out and you get what you want and where you want to be out of it. Music seems to be a big and consistent part of your life. Good luck there friend. Can't wait for the day I see your face on MTV and tell everyone I know here 'Hey I know that dude! I knew him before he was famous!' Or hey, whatever happens with it. Good luck anyway. Y'all deserve it.

 

As for graduation - again congratulations! I don't know squat about that schooling system (and why would I?) but hey the word graduate is universal I reckon. So hey cool job there. And if you haven't already get your butt into that assignment. Could be a late reprimand but hey, consider it a friendly suggestion, however belated it may be ;) Again, congrats Frib/Vi/all the other names I've called you over the years.

*nostalgic sigh*

 

Damn this place is starting to feel like a mortuary here...

 

All the best with your future endeavors, good luck, have a blast, take care and maybe one day we'll touch base again. Miss ya already my Viking. Place is gonna suck hardcore without ya.

 

*hugs*

lol

can't believe how I missed replying to this...wow attention not so much working. anyway

 

backbones...I feel so many backbones have left long ago. I remember the good old days of my journal being active, the fribby ltd company going strong, and all the messed up game section threads and the time when there were far more journals I loved going to everyday, like 10-15 when it was most...

I guess me and vash are one of the last few

there's azem obviously, he's been here longer than me, but he's never been part of this journal community

 

apathy...indeed. that's what I've felt largely for the past year, for some reason. and I mean nostalgia doesn't cut it. I'm not being a good member just complaining about the good old days, hence why I'm leaving, partly.

 

I will miss our conversations. I will however try and read your stories any way I can, after I leave. they are one of the few things still keeping me here, it's been so great reading these stories, and I don't even remember how long you've been writing for us, it's been a hell of a ride.

 

 

haha thanks, my friend. music is indeed my life really. if I hadn't started playing I seriously don't know where in life I'd be right now. it's been my blessing and a saviour.

sorry to disappoint but we won't be on mtv :D haha

all I want is to play music for people...better to go on stage and then go home without police escort, lol

again, thanks for all the memories...and yes mortuary much indeed really very so. great grammatical sentence once again by me lol

alright today was weird. today was my last schoolday at my current school...it was a bit bittersweet

 

I'll go there four more times and then it's all over, I'll be graduated and onto other things

 

I was pretty sad to leave actually, thought a lot about the symbolic last steps I took when I left the building...

 

my last class was an extra class in japanese. it was great to have that as a last ever class, great people there, good humor, fun stuff. the teacher is great too

 

 

 

and then I stepped out and drove home, with a really fitting song in my ears, Over the Pond by the Album Leaf.

really great sweet song, here's a link, I recommend this

first of may is tomorrow, day of the fight/struggle of the workers, as it's called here (sounds better in icelandic lol)

so that's a day off. not that it matters, the exams are beginning, my only exams are on the 7th and the 15th. then at the end of the month I'll start working at the postal service for the summer. then it's uni...

just so you know...I'm still working on that track you sent me...but it should be possible to clean it up...

 

and I also like it...it's a good one

Posted

sweet =)

btw thanks a mil jeezy, whether it works or not

 

 

okay update or something

 

I'm currently reading two books

GPU prison by Sven Hassel

german author

really weird book. the first section was really comical and funny (it's set in WWII) and then the next section these soldiers that were in the first section have gone to war and not it's cold-blooded, dark, ice cold, inhumane and whatnot. really odd how it changed so much but yeah good book

the other one is called Laxdæla, and is an Icelandic saga

pretty good too, I could use some old expressions to spice my language with :D

 

 

my first band hasn't met for like two weeks now, but we've been busy

right now we're semi prepping to make an album so that's exciting

 

my new band meets fairly regularly

right now trying to find structures to the "songs" we have

one guitarist has a dad who owns a studio, we can possibly record there this summer, that would be sweet

I guess our sound is pretty similar to mono, this will destroy you, mogwai, and stuff like that, if anyone wants to know what that sounds like

 

so yeah right now I've got time off, the jap exam is on wednesday plus Im still writing this essay but Im way too lazy to do that really lol

 

 

wish I could tell something exciting like other journals...:confused:

 

oh, there is one thing. I might get some poems published soon in this compilation book thing so that might be fun

Everything sounds awesome...the studio thing - hope it works out! ^^

And your poems in a book...sweet...wish you all the luck for everything...:)

Good luck with the exams, fribby. remember you have to revise even if u feel u know it all, being cocky can work to your downfall (not saying that u are, just as a reminder)!

 

i was just reading back through ur posts on this page. You said that there was rioting and a blockage over oil prices, did that get resolved or is it still going on. What has ur Prime /Minister/Chancellor/President (sorry i dont know what you call ur leader) done about it? im very interested bc ive heard nothing of it hear!

thank you! and no I understand

 

 

that riot thing was a one time thing I guess, it quieted down now

really controversial though

the government right now, which is conservatives/libertarians and social dems is doing what it has always done so far, which is shutting their ears to the problem thinking the storm will calm...

ermm, right. So im guessing that all the people in your government probably have phds and master degrees in politics and economics, right..have they not learnt from history that this approach rarely works. well it may in iceland, dont know much about icelandic social attitudes towards politics..but england that would make thing so much worse.
