I love it here.

Right now I am in New Orleans. I've been here for about five days, with one of those being a day of only travel. That day sucked so hard - with all the constant traveling. Boarding an airplane, getting of it, waiting in an airport for x number of hours and then rinse and repeat that two more times. The longest flight was 8 hours and 55 frakkin' minutes. I used to be afraid of flying but amazingly enough I didn't get nervous at all. I enjoyed the ride a lot. I got to see the Oscar winning "The Kings Speech". I loved that movie! I don't think that there is a better way to spend a flight than watching movies you are kind of too busy to see otherwise. If there ever was a city that I've fallen in love with instantly, it might just be New Orleans. The diversity and the multicolored and multifaceted city, just invites you in and lets you be a part of its history in a second, no questions asked. You can hang out in the French Quarter and visit the Roue Bourbon and get shitfaced, or you can take a walk to Jackson Square and visit a little piece of park heaven. Flowers in bloom, trees majestically casting shadows on the scattered park benches and birs chirping away. I've felt really safe and relaxed so far on this trip - I do believe that my many ... many Hurricanes had something to do with me being so relaxed. Drinking here in N'Awlins is incredibly inexpensive compared to where I come from, where the prices are almost double what they are here. I think though, that our wages in Denmark keep up with the changing prices on food, gas and drinks. In short I have come to feel like this town is really a place I could enjoy again and again. I will be coming back. That is it for now. I'm going to my hotel room, relaxing before I try to re-conquer downtown NOLA. Love + Blessings

Confused

Maybe, there's a reason for all the pain. Maybe not? But what I know for sure, is that we can't take it all at once. I tried to be the good person, to give of myself, in the right way. Without hurting any one, or myself. I know I am not perfect, in any way. No one is. Really.  But, I also find it hard to imagine a world where there is less pain.

Angsty teen

I love looking at things I've written a decade ago - am I really getting that old? Then, some times you come across  a poem where you wonder what was going through you at the time. You can't really remember what brought you to that place where the poem came from. To be honest, I remember being an angsty teen and really focused on the bad things that were happening in my life, but still I can't remember who I wrote this about. I honestly always draw from my own experiences in life so this must have meant something to me. For the life of me, I wish I could remember. I published the following very short poem online in 2003: --- What can I say, to make it all better? What can I do, to make it last forever? What can I see, that you don't in me? ---- I find it funny now, that I could be so completely lost in someone to write such a poem. Yet, I think it comes with the territory of being a teenager. You obsess and worry and wonder why love hasn'

"Dancin' Away With My Heart"

So - I see a lot of people "dreading" the coming Valentine's Day... Honestly, I couldn't care less about this day. When I was in a long term relationship I'll admit that I, in the beginning, expected my partner to get me something on Valentine's Day. I soon realized that it didn't mean as much as when he just surprised me on an ordinary day with something out of the ordinary. In reality, Valentine's Day has nothing to do with love or appreciation. It's a corporately structured "holiday" where industries try to put an emphasis on one day where your partner "should" show his appreciation for you. Why would it matter on this particular day and less on other days? Ridiculous... Okay, I'll level with you guys. I believe in true love. Yeah I know what you're gonna say. Blah blah, women believe in true love and they always have. They want that knight in shining armour to come rescue them and won't give anything less than
