Ringgren

June is almost coming to an end, and I haven't been diligent in writing on my blog. The reason is, that I have lacked things to write about. I am just now able to sit down and think of words that have any meaning to me, which is a great feeling. My first blog post back from obscurity will be doing a review on a movie I recently saw at the movies, so here goes. "Snow White and the Huntsman" As most people know, Kristen Stewart of Twilight fame is in this movie. I have to admit, I came prepared to hate her guts when I decided to go see this movie. Yet, I found her very entertaining and she conveyed with great ease, the feelings of Snow White. So no, I actually did not end up hating her performance. Apart from some accent slip ups, she did incredibly well in this role. When that girl smiles, her whole face changes to that of a woman with an incredibly angelic face. I can not explain it, but she seems like her  when she smiles. The moronic pout she sports in Twilight is...

I got my hair cut today. Did the old pamper and please package. Getting my hair done and cut feels greeeaat! So it's money well spent I would say. It's sometimes the little things in life that makes it better. It doesn't take much really to enhance your life quality. That's what I like to do. Also, I got myself a preowned copy of Gears of War 3. Oh, I got my priorities straight! Getting my hair did and the suiting up with some awesome gaming. Looooove it. :D and I'm such a nerd. I've played co-op with my brother for part one of the first act, and it looks very good so far. So I can't wait to get more playtime on that. I still have to finish Skyward Sword, but I'll do it. I love my games! Had an awesome dinner with my friend Line! We bought a bunch of good tapas stuff (Brie, olives, three types of sausage and lots of other things) and drank red wine. It was so great, we just talked all the way through dinner and had dessert as well which was her homem...

It's within you... That happiness you're searching for. It won't come by plane, car or magic tricks. It is within you. You just have to embrace it and be the best you. If you find happiness within you, then it will fill every part of your life. The friendships you have, the career you want. Because I believe it's true what they say, if you don't like yourself, then who will? In the end, the only person you have to thank for what's happened in your life (not including accidents or losing people) but your own personal feelings and journey, is you... You are the master of your fate. Even if you - as I - have faith you are still in control of your own life. That's the beauty of life, you have the tools to make it a great one. It doesn't mean that you've failed if you feel you haven't fulfilled your potential, but you are aware that your life choices have led you to a certain place and that you are actually capable of changing it. That's my bel...

I started today, finally getting back on track with my sleeping cycle. I woke up at a much better hour today than the last 5 days, which is really healthy. Also, my youngest brother and I made home made deep pan pizza and cocoa buns. It was really great to be in the kitchen and make something from scratch, plus it's incredibly rewarding to eat something you've made without anything that's premade. Hopefully tomorrow we'll go back into the kitchen and make some great stuff. I want to make something great for tomorrow night and dinner. I'm thinking something with either chicken or pork chops. And I reall want to make some salad to accompany dinner. It feels great to have something lighter with the rest of the meal. Anyway, I can't believe I've reached forty hours on Skyward Sword. I've been playing through some side quests today and even though it's not been the most interesting things I've done (finding baby rattles and giving stamina potions to...

Wondering when I'll feel completely lost behind a wagon, regarding Facebook and such. So far I notice how many times a day people throw around the word "Facebook" or my brother who mentions Reddit a couple of times a day. It kinda sucks that he and I used to laugh about something we'd both seen on Reddit. But now that I'm taking this break I can't seem to keep up with all the awesome things on there anymore. I now live vicariously through what he tells me is happening on the site. Ridiculous, no? I believe so. I remember in 2007, I was sitting in class at the uni and doing boring stuff... Not really paying attention to the teacher or what was being talked about in general. A great friend of mine had sent me a link to this new site called "Facebook". I had no idea what it was and didn't really understand the point of the site. My friend Kim just said I would get addicted to it. By the time I got it, it was widely known in the states, but I don...

So recently my bestie gave me an ad, for someone looking for a reviewer for a video gaming website. I immediately wrote the owner of the site and she wrote me back rather quickly and told me she was very interested in me and what I could bring to the table. After a short trial review she added me to the reviewing team, and now I'm a free lance video game reviewer for the website Gamin' Girl I really am looking forward to be writing for this site, and my first review will be up soon I think. It's about the Gears Of War 3, multiplayer beta. All though I did like it, the characters of Gears just do not do well in a multiplayer. They are to clunky and slow. One of my good friends told me that it's a really good thing to be a part of a gaming website, especially for when you're looking for jobs later. I hope that I will be part of this site for quite a while and that I'll be able to go with them when they're going to Danish Video Game Awards. That could be soooo...

Something profound happened not too long ago. I was awakened by something that shook me to my very core. There have not been many times in my life, where I was truly terrified, but this one thing rocked the very foundation of my beliefs. Life is short, and as such I have come to realize that I spend too much time on things that I should just let go. I think I've actually said that before in my life, but this time it's different. I am different. I almost lost someone that I cannot imagine living without. I see this person almost everyday and we can argue, laugh and ignore each other, but the love never changes. The first thing this person told me after the accident was: "This cannot be it, I have not experienced all the things I want in my life. This cannot be the end already." It made me think and reflect on my own life. I try as best as I can to live life to its fullest. I try to experience new things, talk to strangers, and eat new foods. Yet, I can spend the majori...

This is the last day in the states. The last day in Louisiana and the last day in Baton Rouge. I feel sad that I have to go, but there is not much I can do about it now. It was an amazing trip, one that I will remember forever. I will give a more detailed account of what happened when I get home and rest up on Tuesday. For now I will say this. It is not the first and certainly not the last time I come here. Love + Blessings

So, I have to admit. I'm in love with my twitter. I just think it's this really amazing tool, where you can vent about anything you want, in 140 characters. Follow other twitter accounts, tweet to celebrities whom you follow, and have them some times answer you. Link it up with your facebook and you never have to write on FB again. ;) Well, I use my twitter way more than my FB - because twitter doesn't take too much time to update. The only thing I feel FB is good for these days are mailing friends and putting up bigger links to funny things on the internet. You can follow me here: Ringgren I say all kinds of stuff, about videogames, movies, tv and anything else I find funny. Disclaimer: I don't follow back just because you start following me. I need some incentive to follow you back, a witty reply to something I've tweeted is always a good start. These days you can also find me posting on the TheNerdMachine community where I mostly post in Gaming or Movies . It...

I've been sitting at my computer since seven o'clock. Trying to figure out how to make my podcasts and how to put them up on my blog. I've finally found a place that is free, which I will start using later today when I've recorded my first podcast. It's going to be interesting I think. I hope that some people find this blog and are interested in what I'm doing and saying. All I want is to share how I feel and that we're all in this together, this world that we live in. I might be ranting right now... Hmmm. Off topic, there is SO much snow around my house right now, and even though I'm 26 years old I really want to go outside and play in it. Or make a snowman or something! Is that sad? Haha. Well I don't care, you're only as old as you feel right. And I'm such a nerdy kid inside. But I LOVE being a NERD. It's one of the things I was really ashamed of when I was younger, because I was a spaz and a half, never knew when to shut up. Hopefully...
