Studying for the exam…
The morning of the exam
And finally, the end of the day
Also, tip of the day. DON’T give a shit about people who don’t give a shit about you. (I’m just gonne play Pillars of Eternity and draw cool shit and drink tea alone!)
Tuesday (Wednesday?) hype!
Good song is good
Good dance is good
Good song and dance gives them good feels
Aaand, tomorrow were off to the dentist, hopefully that wont be expensive as hell.
Peace out!
Some days just suck
Wasn’t at university today, woke up like a wreck. Got some bad news from friends and some bad from the family :c So I just stayed at home and tried studying. Went bad. Now it is way to late to do anything. Let’s hope for an actual day tomorrow!
STAY HAPPY WOOO!
Good night!
Today’s Sunday flea market findings
Next Sunday I’ll get some moon maps! Wooohoo!
Ok the two later pictures are very uninteresting if you don’t know Swedish, but nevertheless and for your information; it is a collection of poems and folk songs from the 50’s so the language is a bit different and sometimes hard to understand. It is cool though but the book smelled so strongly of “oldness” that I could read more than a couple of pages.
Also, lets pretend that I’ve not been inactive here shall we? Ok, good 😉 good night!
Philosophy Friday: Plato
Popular opinions edge us towards the wrong values, careers and relationships
Plato’s answer is – to know yourself
Â
Beautiful objects help us educate our soul
Those are simple values, philosophy doesn’t need to be pretentious or grandiose. It isn’t scary. For me philosophy is important to everyday life, maybe not so much that you need to think about it constantly, but in so that it affects us all. And to me, it is fulfilling to know more about society in whole and how to cope with it. It is also a way of explaining how things work and are. Take the quote above from Plato regarding art as an example, that is an easy answer to why we like art and why it is important. Because it educates our mind (sure you might argue that soul is not a good metaphor for mind, but whatever).
To then listen to thinkers who came before us (but also to contemporary ones) gives me perspective on everyday life. Because they struggled just as much as we do! They did what we did, maybe then we can find values and ideas that we can use today? Not everything today is perfect, very little is in fact. So we have nothing to lose from grabbing good ideas from the past and applying them today.
Over and out
o7
See you later ~~
You will never do anything that has not been done. Probably.
BUT, I have to be a bit critical here. Now I am no language-er, but I am Scandinavian. The word “Vemödalen”, it really sounds like a word that someone who heard a couple of Scandinavian words jumbled together. It actually make no sense. The base, or the foundation of the word might be ok, but the form of it is not logical. If it would be a word in a good grammatical sense it would instead look something like “Vemöda” or “Vemöd”. And it pretty awkward to put umlauts on something when in your own language you don’t actually use them. So why even do it? The whole thing feels lazy and overly pretentious.
It is also pretty awkward since the word “vemod” is a word, it means sadness or melancholy in Swedish. It actually makes the foundation of the word “Vemödalen” ok, like I said. They just need to make it a bit more “correct” so to speak.
Hiding
Sometimes you just don’t have the energy to do stuff…
That’s ok
Finally some small town shenanigans
Here, take some tidbits from my last couple of days in Karlskoga.
*Throws telephone at Internet*
…
Did you get it?
Me looking stupid.
Happy prices
Planning
Stick n’ knife action
Yup
Walking around in the countryside and the forrest finding some interesting alien life forms.
PLEASE EAT ME
PLEASE DON’T PICK ME
OH MY GOD PICK ME NOOOOW
Daainguuur!! They weren’t shooting at us at least. Just at the mushroom aliens.
Easter beer, perfect timing!
Oh well, are we going to Norway? Maybe if the mushrooms aliens win.
The Science of Awkwardness: Sonder
If you are like me, few people are, but if you are, and you think a lot about how people percieve you. Watch VSauce wonderful explanation on why you are super extremely normal!
He brings forward good social examples and concepts about why it is a good thing for people to feel awkward or nervous. It all sounds so logical and comforting at the same time!
Have you ever thought to yourself that the angry bus driver not giving you slack, the clerk not greeting you or the random bypasser bumping into you are just like you? Human beings – in an almost marvelous, tiny and kind of charming insignificant way. We all have our problems and concerns and we all matter the exact same amount in the bigger picture. Huge or small, it is up to you.
…
Thinking about things like this makes me a more harmonious person. I am happier not going berserk as soon as someone bumps into me. Maybe they had a bad day? And you know what. I am going to have bad days as well.
Remember that!
And watch the video if anything above sounded familiar or interesting.
He also does it with a tad bit of humor, I mean if you are into that sort of thing.
See you ~~
