There’s No Place Like Home
Where and what is home? I’ve been giving this a lot of thought recently. In 2008 I moved away from home (albeit after half a years travel), to the other end of Denmark, to Aarhus. Growing up, home was the house of my parents, but why? I imagine it was because I saw it as [...]
20 Questions For Every Spiritual Seeker
Reference: 20 Questions For Every Spiritual Seeker. 1. Why is there poverty and suffering in the world? It’s easy to blame other people, nations and the past. But it doesn’t absolve us from not helping now. But why? Nature. We build corporations that take advantage of lesser developed areas, by using the cheap labour. Warlords, [...]
The Luckier Sex
Men are the luckier sex, not the stronger sex mind you, but the luckier. Women are the superior sex, in nearly every aspect. So why are men the luckier sex? That has nothing to do with the millennia of the man being the stronger sex, the dominant gender, right up until the second women’s rights [...]
2009 Inauguration
One year ago today, I woke up in Montevideo, a new life, a new world and a time filled with unexpected surprises in store for me. I had no idea of what lay ahead of me, only that the immediate future was mine to decide, where I went, what I did and with whom I [...]
Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colours appear
I love the title of this post, it’s beautiful. I’m not gonna go out and shout at the top of my lungs, that I’ve had a terrible life. I’ve never been abused, maltreated, misused or neglected. But that isn’t what the quote aims at either, it’s a balance in between the good and the bad. [...]
Bush, The Memory
This article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7783286.stm Argues that George W. Bush might be remembered well as a president, as he made tough calls that had to be made; similar to the situtation Truman was in; and justifies this statement by saying that at Trumans lowest point, he had a 22% approval rating, far below anything George W. Bush [...]
Time in Ushuaia
New pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/twaize/ This has been one of the days with nothing really to do, tomorrow I’m gonna go up to the local glacier; instead I had time to convert a lot of pictures for flickr, and I thought I might try and reflect on the time I have had so far. Lonely Planet writes [...]
Forgot
Last time I completely forgot to mention that my 200GB external HDD failed; I can live with loosing the movies on it, but my entire music collection was lost… But with winamp I managed to copy all my music back to my computer, and I have now changed from foobar2000 to winamp, to allow for [...]
Crazy Christmas Cabaret
So on the 13th of November, I went to see Fogg’s Off by the London Toast group; every year around christmas they arrange perform a show in Glashuset (The Glass House) in Tivoli Gardens, and since it’s every christmas, and since it is very crazy; it is known as the Crazy Christmas Cabaret. Every year [...]
But in this ever changing world in which we live in, makes you give in and cry
I am posting this to try and remind myself of how fast the world changes. Just a few days ago I was feeling really good, I felt like I was a better person, with excess energy for anything. But now it’s all gone. I was feeling so exuberant, and everything was going good. I lost [...]
Emilie
Ever since I came back to Denmark I had really hoped, that I would bump into someone I knew from college (uk)/high school (us); and of course I had hoped for it to be someone nice. Well yesterday that happened in all its glory as Emilie, a girl I secretly fancied the entire year we went [...]
What am I doing here?
Although one of the categories is “Spur of the moment” I have been having this thought in my head for a long time (during most of this camp), but it just keeps coming back, and I just felt writing about it right now. Some of the other staff on this camp say that it has [...]
Scouting sunrise!
I am writing this the day after the sunrise day to better reflect on what happened and what it means to me. I have been a scout for 12 years, and we were told that this would be the peak of our lives, whether it be private or scouting… NOT! However it was special to [...]
My English Depression
As promised: As per usual when I have too much time to think, I get depressed as I start thinking about my situtation, and what I am actually doing. I have spent a lot of time evaluating what is important for me, and what difference I make at all, and all I think of was [...]
Cogito ergo doleo
I wrote all this a long time ago, im not even sure what is in it, but here goes: “Jens felt it was about time for some declarations and beliefs. “I believe that mankind at the base of it all is evil; and the fact that every last person is selfish, is more or less a given fact these days. However not all people act and behave as though they are evil people; [...]
Anyone who supports intelligent design is on the intellectual stage of a doorknob
I have been intending a post for very long… VERY long. I have also changed to first person writing, because the third person was just a silly gimic, which I eventually got tired of. But to begin with, I want to announce that I have two posts in the works right now. This one and [...]
On TV you always have that guy that jumps over the sofa…
The halt ones life is brought to, can be quite immense. Don’t you think? Jens thinks so at least, school is standing more still than ever, despite being close to the exams. He has trouble finding good movies that he hasn’t already seen. He knew they are out there, he just can’t find them; since [...]
A later update
Yeah, so it’s a long time since Jens updated his blog. Mostly because nobody reads it, also because he is plain lazy. But over the course of the last time, he has decided that Brisbane would be a great place for a gap year. The location is perfect, the city is a nice size and [...]
So long, and thanks for all the fish
Yes, Jens is aware that it has been more then a month since last time. But not only does he find updating this blod boring, but it’s not like anybody reads it? In either case he has had a really boring time just going to school, but is atm on a 5 day vacation thanks [...]
