I was sorting my bookmarks yesterday and stumbled over Katinka Matson site. And I am still amazed over her pictures, the sheer minimalism and purity of the flowers. If I was a flower and needed to take a picture of myself – she would be on the top of my list.
You should go here if you like flowers….

You guessed it, i’m sick – but still only in the physical since. Friday i started of with a small discomfort and now it has escalated to a full fledged flu. I am hot, tried, cold, snotty, annoyed, lack of focus and most of all – bored out of my mind!!! I hate being sick – the sheer lack of energy and inactivity – it’s killing me!!! I feel like a fish – i have to move or else my gills don’t get enough O2…
Here is a picture of the Hawaiian State Fish, the Humuhumunukunukuapuaa (my kindred spirit?).
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking in my state of inertia. One of my conclusions, is that I have been using far too much energy in looking and seeking for my better half. The last six months I have been dating, a hell of a lot. All the energy, I have put inn really hasn’t trickled in to anything I can work with. I’m a patient guy, but maybe i should focus on other areas that give me pleasure. Let me see – family, friends, law degree, clarinet and so on..
I do hope she is out there but so-far, no good. I dislike my solitude, but I’m still single and dealing with it…
This poem hits my soft spot and is how i feel. From my favorite band…
“Small time shot away” – Massive Attack (100th. window)
Took her in
Dropped a line
Turned me on
(I travel I travel)
We never leave each other ’cause we leave each other so cold
Makes it melt away
The easy part is taking yourself in
It’s wartime every time
Shot away
Wipe the smile from your face
It’s getting in the way
It’s wartime every time
She cut me a line and she turned me on
She made it cool
You couldn’t do it if you wanted to
(Believe me believe me)
It’s wartime every time
Small talk every time
It’s my favourite chloroform
It’s pill talk every time
Get it out the way
Friction wound
Shot away
Ricochet
We’re like identical twins
Sucking on the same teat
Spitting out the same things
(I travel far, I travel far)
It’s wartime every time
Small talk every time
It’s my favourite chloroform
It’s pillow talk every time
Get it out the way
Friction wound
Ricochet
Line’em up and knock’em down
Shot away
A shot away
A shot away
A shot away
Well, must sleep and get well…
I have a lot of quests. On my top three – there is finishing my law-degree, being able to play the clarinet (well), and as you might have guessed it – finding a soul-mate. Now the two first things are “simple tasks”. If you continually put in a lot of hard word and dedication – you really can’t go wrong. The rules for the “quest” are easy to follow and you can see a clear result for the effort you put in to it.
Now, on the other hand you have love… “That”, has to be the ultimate proof that God has a great sense of humor and is a bit of a joker. I believe that love is a mystery that just won’t make sense and the only way to learn about love is by loving. The problem is, where is she? I’m still optimistic, I have a lot to do, and i’ll be fine even if she doesn’t show up soon…. But it would make life sweeter to live.
Women have it a lot easier – the following says it all….
HOW TO IMPRESS A WOMAN…
compliment her,
cuddle her,
kiss her,
caress her,
love her,
stroke her,
tease her,
comfort her,
protect her,
hug her,
hold her,
spend money on her,
wine & dine her,
buy things for her,
listen to her,
care for her,
stand by her,
support her,
go to the ends of the earth for her….
HOW TO IMPRESS A MAN…
show up naked,
bring beer.

To drastically change the subject, i have a picture of a “nøkkerose” (Nymphaea alba?). I took it a while back, right after i got my camera. The picture is in my opinion a bit sub-standard but its the best of my Nøkkerose-pictures.
The next pictures are Roses, and these are taken with my own camera (click for larger picture).
Enjoy…
I’m sorry, but i’m still not inspired enough to be able to contribute with something of my own. Here goes – this is my favorite version of “roses are red” by Comedian Ish Kabibble.
Enjoy,….
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Some poems rhyme,
This one doesn’t.
I’m too tired to write something original and truly brilliant…. Sorry guys and galls.
