Once there was a blog on the blag.

Going away for some time

2008-08-31T17:16:00.000-07:00

Yes, I fooled you into looking here. I said I'm going away for some time, which is partially correct. My ass is still here in Hokksund and it will be. But now I will try posting on WordPress.com instead of Blogspot as I am sick of Blogspot's design and limited possibilities.

My new blog can be found at http://dominhate.wordpress.com - Tearing you a new one since 2008.

Attention. Communication wanted.

2008-07-25T09:20:00.000-07:00

And by the way, as I am eager to learn about other countries and getting better in speaking English, if you are not from Norway, send me a mail if you're interested in chatting about everything and nothing.

I am aware that I have a few readers from the States as well as the UK and other places in Europe, which I would be more than willing to talk to!

You can reach me at hoestmoerke@hotmail.com

May the wind blow fair at your backs.

The Kilburn High Road - Flogging Molly

2008-07-25T08:06:00.000-07:00

Here's my vote for the lyric of the day:

"The Kilburn High Road"

Many's the day I took for granted
Breathing the air that sinlenced some
As the North Wind blew
With its head of thunder
Beating its breast with a war drenched song
Bathe awhile, awash in slumber
Cry what's left to sleep
Where you dream of the love you left forever
But pity no more nor grieve

For we're the kings of it all
For the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the kings of the Kilburn High

Listen to the sound of dead men dying
March as they flee but exiled bound
Their ship once sailed no longer anchors
For gone is the green
And their hallowed gound

Toast to tears of times past glories
This ageless clock chime stalls
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
To fly where no others have soared

For we're the kings of it all
For the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the kings of the Kilburn High

Toast to tears of times past glories
This ageless clock chime stalls
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten
To fly where no others have soared

For we're the kings of it all
For the day we were born
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye
We were the kings of the Kilburn High

I'm hot.

2008-07-25T07:52:00.000-07:00

My god, it's too damn hot outside right now. I mean, I'm sitting in the living room right now and still sweating my ass off. And I tell you, I don't like it one teeny weenie bit. My only pleasure at this moment is the glass of ice beside me and the music on the home entertainment system of hours. Right now I'm bugging the loving hell out of my neighbors with Flogging Molly. But hey, it's summer, I entitled to such things.

Also, yesterday I got this year's first sunburn on my back and below my eyes. Martina and I went along with my parents to a little cabin we are borrowing from some random guy and we swam and had fun all day. And got sunburned. Which sucks. Ass. Still a fun day before the sunburn appeared. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.

Today's been one of those lazy days summer has to offer anyone who is stupid enough those who prefer to stay inside rather than sweating to death in the midsummer sun. I wonder if I'm going to watch some Veronica Mars later on, as I bought season one of the series on Tuesday. Veronica Mars is a fairly awesome show, contrary to popular beliefs. Hurr, also I may need to freeze some more ice so I don't die.

Also, before I publish this post, I found out that I wanted to share this..quote-ish thing from Boondock Saints, one of the most awesome action movies ever made. I recommend that all of you see it immediately:

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patri.
Et Filii.
Spiritus Sancti.

Hallelujah.

Obama vs. Bush

2008-07-16T11:39:00.001-07:00

I guess it's my turn to be a little more political now and I want to ask you guys a question. How much better of a president do you think Obama will be than Bush? Let me put it this way; of course their way of doing politics are vastly different from each other, but when you say that the world will be a better place with Obama as president, is that because it is popular to hate Bush nowadays? Or is it because you actually don't like the political ways of ol' Georgie? For me it seems like most people hate Bush, and the US in general, purely based on the Iraq war and the war on terrorism. I agree that those are some good points, but are you enlightened enough on this subject to have your own opinion or are you just using everyone else's opinions when saying Bush sucks and fuck America?

And yes, this post is purely based on fuck and win. Perhaps with a hint of politicalness as well, eh?

Oh, my brother, testify!

2008-07-14T04:09:00.000-07:00

Well, I just woke up not too long ago and I'm still lying in my bed, waiting for the urge to get out comes over me. My room is so terribly hot and steamy right now, even though no special activities took place during the night. Strange.

Yesterday I was in Flesberg attending the Eventide pre-release event with Magnus, Emil and Emil's cousin Theodor. The tournament went surprisingly well, resulting in a fifth place for me and one booster as a prize. Eventide had some nasty surprises which were both fun and dreadful to play with/against at the same time. Though, Shards of Alara better be much more interesting than this set.

This weekend I bought Guitar Hero as well. Raymond and I got bored, so we decided to fetch the game and play for a whole night. But as we were looking for a store that sold it for the lowest price, the clock quickly turned 8:02 and everything was closed before we got our hands on it. Early Saturday morning we got to Drammen and bought it, though. We played it for a good few hours before Martina arrived. Then we played Guitar Hero the rest of the night. Fucken oresum.

I seriously need to get up now.

A plant is never one before it has been a seed.

Catherine smiled. Took a fabulous breath of summer air and tasted death.

2008-06-27T15:28:00.000-07:00

A few days has passed since I last made a post here and I write now just out of pity for this blog. Man, it needs to be updated more frequently. Or else it would be like some memoirs on an old geisha or something. At the moment, I'm sitting in my bed and watching a My Dying Bride DVD I bought earlier today. Boy, those guys know how to pull of a good live show! My jaw is like in the basement at the moment. Admirable musicmanship.

Today I also finished work after three straight days, which is too much for me to handle, and I'll have some vacation until next weekend. The problem though, is that I don't have anything to do at all. Hell, I bought two seasons of Family Guy today, so I might as well sit around watching these day in and day out.

Holy fuck, this is the most painful post I've ever written. I am just too bored, don't have the imagination to come up with something good.

Sleep in tights and don't let nazis bite, people.

Quite so indeed, dear chap.

2008-06-17T04:39:00.000-07:00

If someone could explain to me why the hell I still lie in bed at 1:40 pm, that would be awesome. I've been awake for three hours straight and have not moved an inch. Just been watching wrestling and searching the Interwebs. Interesting enough, Firefox 3 is available for download later on today, get it, peeps.

Wow, I'm like the posterboy of...things right now. Since I started out nicely with Firefox, I'll continue by saying that Spore Creature Creator ALSO will be available later on. I pirated the leaked version of it yesterday and I liked it a lot. Seems like Spore will have great potential and be a winner in the heart of many people.

That being said, on Thursday, my journey into Hyboria began, as I started playing Age of Conan. That game's fukken oresum, to say the least. Currently I find myself in level 21 and I'm playing as a Dark Templar, which is a melee tanking/healing class. The soundtrack is pretty excellent as well.

Hurr. Time to get out of bed now, and perhaps play some Magic soon? Perhaaaps.

Do not fear the everliving snow that melts in your presence!

Undertaker is out of the WWE. /cry

2008-06-08T04:56:00.000-07:00

Yeah, well, last Sunday it happened. That fucker Edge, the Rated R Superstar, won the TLC match against Undertaker on One Last Stand. Edge was crowned the new World Heavyweight Champion and Undertaker was banished from the WWE, supposedly never to be seen again. They say that you cannot kill what doesn't live, and that is why I am sure we will see him again before we know it. I hope he is returning as the American Badass/Big Evil again, 'cause that's the coolest version of the Undertaker.

In other news, my parents are in Spain at the moment, and they have been there since Wednesday. They'll be returning home later this evening, but that's OK. I'm about to run out of money anyway.

Humm. This weekend I began working at Bakeriet in Hokksund, a nice little bakery in the middle of town. I've basically been tossed around by the other people that work there, but I will soon learn to do things myself, and then the mandolin will get a different sound, baby.

Martina was here Friday and Saturday, and we had some barbecue-stuff along with small amounts of alcohol. Very cozy indeed!

But right now I'm running out of things to say, so perhaps I'll finish now.

May you forever sell buttscratchers wherever you may find your own.

In honor of Little Jacob.

2008-06-01T07:34:00.000-07:00

The exam was completely off its tits.

2008-06-01T04:42:00.000-07:00

The exam is now history, and I don't need to have another exam for a long time. That feels quite lovely, by the way. I also found out that everything I had prepared for on the preparation day took a long twig and fucked itself with it, as I needed only to analyse the move Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Since I've seen that movie a great lot of times, I was quite reliefed when I got that assignment. Let's just hope that being a fan of metal pays off, then.

Also, tits.

Yesterday I was at this party held by Christine, which was quite cozy. Not that large number of people and we were outside the whole time. One of the better parties around, I'd say. Not that I attend many.

Do not do anything for the lulz, ppl.

Well, darn if I said chips.

2008-05-28T02:55:00.001-07:00

Today we got our preparation sheets for the English exam taking place tomorrow. Well, fuck it. We have to write about social conflicts, international events and working life issues. It's not that bad of an assignment, but it was a far too wide one. The possibilites are endless and so there will be a pain in the buttochs to get some good quality information out of this.

They see me rollin', they hatin'.

2008-05-26T04:41:00.001-07:00

My clock tells me I should be asleep right now.

2008-05-24T18:40:00.000-07:00

Well, the clock is soon 4 am in the morning and I still haven't got much sleep. I'm tired and all, but my head tells me to stay the fuck out of bed. Strange thing, strange thing. So, Niclas, what's on your mind today? GTA IV, the upcoming exam and...butter milk. GTA IV is oh so soon in my greasy hands, though I can't play it until my exams are over. Which sucks donkey ass as far as I'm concerned. I could also have got a worse subject for an exam, but still it sucks knowing that I may fail up to two other classes because of it. Shitty ass government, giving me this exam.

For the last half an hour I've been downloading new wallpapers to my phone. Yep, that's about how interesting this person is. When I wake up later on today, I have to mow the friggin' lawn as well. Martina has also planned showing her face today, that will be very enjoyable, to say the least.

But now I just have to get some sleep, mafakkas. May the bugs in your bed bite, and bite you hard.

Hurr, durr and a bottle of rum.

2008-05-23T06:02:00.000-07:00

It appears that those motherfuckers that run this country decided to give me an English written exam next Thursday. Fuck yes. I can't describe for you tenderly enough how pleased/torn up I am because of this. To make it all a wee bit worse, those fuckers at Playx.no decided to ship GTA IV today. Woo-fucking-hoo. The game will be in my hands Monday or Tuesday. Preparation for that darn exam? Yes/No.

Fuck the government.

And fuck cheese.

A Wednesday here, a Wednesday there.

2008-05-21T00:12:00.000-07:00

This morning, Christine, Jeaneth, Helena and myself started the school day out with teaching the whole class some mathematics. It was all about economics and stuff. Pretty simple, but at the same time, rather boring and blarg. It all went smooth and all, 'cause hey, I'm a suave motherfucker.

These last few days have been torturing me beyond all imagination. I've been waiting like a hungry warthog to get my hands on GTA IV, waiting for it to arrive any day. However, yesterday we found out that it will not be shipped until next Monday. I mean, W T F, R? I'm in dire need of playing GTA soon. I'm dying here.

Last night I spent my time in Drammen, at DSF (Drammen Spillforening) and we played Magic: The Gathering for a couple of hours. I never won a game, as I was trying out my new Red/Black Wither-themed deck in multiplayer...which reminds me. I actually won once over Emil in a one on one matchup! My deck may need some improvement in the ways of Midnight Banshee and Ashenmoor Liege as well as a couple of Blight Sickles, but some playtesting may prove otherwise.

Today is my dad's birthday, and I hope there will be lots and lots of cake and other yummy things.

Uhm, yeah. Have a nice day, and may the sun shine where it's not supposed to shine!

The little bugger is finally on its way!

2008-05-14T15:28:00.000-07:00

Today, or actually yesterday at this point, something good happened. GTA IV was finally ordered and sent to me for half of the price that it is listed for in the shops. Magnificent, I tell you!

School was boring as usual, though we learned about Edgar Allan Poe and the Gothic Romanticism, which both are subjects that I fancy. Of course, as the little nerd I am, I brought along Edgar Allan Poe: The Complete Illustrated Works (and that nerdy MSN emoticon fag). Well, he was an excellent writer. He made death and the macabre so...living and beautiful in such a strange way. Admirable!

After school, Martina joined me in watching TV at my place. She also studied a bit for her Norwegian test that is today (wasn't it?). She is also a bit nerdy, you see. I'm not the only one! Hurr... About 5 pm we went to Drammen, Martina was going to shop her buttocks green, though it ended up slightly purple/turqoise/mustard. We wandered about Magasinet for about an hour before we took the bus home and I met Raymond in Hokksund. We went to his place, and I basically watched him play BioShock for a good four hours. Quite amusing.

That's my day, and I need to remind me, and everybody else one more time that I can't wait to get my slimy, sweat paws on GTA IV next week. To celebrate that, I present to you this week's Zero Punctuation: GTA IV.

NOOO THEY BE STEALIN MAH BUCKAT

May the hair be fair and not dry out your eyeballs. Or something.

A quite boring Saturday after all, eh?

2008-05-10T06:50:00.000-07:00

Well, I decided to reopen this blog. This time I'll try to keep it in English so that I have an excuse for writing English instead of that fucking horrible Norwegian language.

Uhm, yesterday was a beautiful day. Martina was visiting and we were just chilling outside all afternoon before we decided to order a pizza. It tasted lovely, by the way. We also watched Hotell Cæsar and that Norway's Got Talent! show, which is a horrible rip-off of the American version. Man, the audience seemed like they all had PMS and an overdose of Valium at the same time. But yeah. When the show was over, we decided to take a little nap before we watched the results from Norway's Got Talent!, though we overslept and barely saw that the winner was this emo sounding like Rick Astley. Well, he was a worthy winner.

Just an hour after that, I followed Martina home and just went strollin' downtown to drink some booze. Or I just walked home, listening to music. You can decide. The rest of the night I spent surfing the interblag/blagoweb/world wide sphere/webnet and listening to Dream Theater's Metropolis pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory, which is one of the best albums I've ever heard. At 2 AM I went to bed and slept until this morning. Shocking, right? No soap, radio! At this point, the weather is nice and all, but I can't think of anything to do outside. I just sit around and play videogames while listening to Avantasia. Raymond will be home soon/in a couple of hours, so maybe we'll do something together.

Err, I can't think of anything else to tell you at this moment, so I'd say it's a wrap, and I'll keep you updated on my life every day for the rest of the year. (Or not.)

Behave, you all!
