Life is short, make it valuable.

With my birthday coming up tomorrow I've had a lot of thoughts running through my head.
Some good, some bad, some happy, some sad.
I am, for the most part, happy with the choices I've made in life.
Sure, I could have majored in photography - but didn't.
Yes, I got in to cookingschool. Turned that down too.
I'm a properly educated graphic designer - but never worked as one.
I took online classes in interior design and decoration, and got a diploma - but never followed through.
I can start a huge painting and fill the canvas completely, but I'll never really finish it. I can write two verses and a chorus to a song, but "forget" the bridge or the last verse and that seems to be me.
I never follow through.
Instead, I work in a hardware store, selling tools and paint and diy-stuff. But the thing is; I like doing that. I'm good at it.
I got married at 25. Always knew I'd marry some day and I always knew that when I did, it would be for eternity. Ten years in and I still feel the same way.
I guess that's the one thing in my life that I do follow through on - my family.
I have two of the most amazing little miracles safely sleeping in their beds upstairs. It's me and my boys. Perfect to me.
I can actually say that even though I have a few regrets - I am genuinly happy with my life.
So even though I have some could have - would have - should have's, what it all comes down to is that what I do today - who I am today - well, that is me.
And I kinda like me, you know. :)

Når ord blir fattige.

Når ord blir fattige og hjertet blør, da finner jeg det naturlig og greit å bruke ord som andre har skrevet. Et dikt som jeg selv har funnet styrke i mang en gang. Først da jeg som 15-åring mistet en betydelig person i mitt liv, og senere da jeg mistet mitt eget barn. Ord som er så sterke for meg at det bringer den smerten jeg dypt begraver til overflaten gjennom den første linjen. Jeg vet hvordan de har det nå, de som sitter igjen med et barn for lite. De som ikke kan forstå at de aldri mer skal høre stemmen til deres nære. Jeg vet hvor vanskelig det er å skulle åpne øynene og møte en ny dag. Og så en til. Og så en til. Jeg ble fortalt, gang på gang, at alt blir bedre etterhvert. Men ingen fortalte meg noen gang hvordan jeg skulle leve akkurat da. Ingen kunne si meg hvor jeg skulle hente styrke til å stå opp og ta den dusjen om morgenen, smøre ei skive til frokost og komme seg på jobb. Og ingen fortalte meg hvordan jeg skulle klare å takle demonene som fortsatt besøker meg når det er ...

Finally!!!

After what feels like forever, my wish has finally come true. Joey DeGraw is coming to Oslo to play! It's been a spring full of emailing, calling and a lot of organizing to try and get Joey a gig over here. It's felt like a ton of work, yet I didn't really get anywhere. Then my friend Monica stepped up and got Joey a gig at a small, but very cozy pub called Buckley's in Oslo. I'm exited. Thats an understatement! I get to see Joey in the city I live in. No fuzz with travelling and no stress what so ever. It will be amazing. All I need to do is to sit down with a drink and enjoy some great music. This summer is saved, no matter what happens, cuz I get to see Joey DeGraw LIVE! :)
