Right in the middle...
If you've ever incurred the wrath of white van man (and who hasn't), this is for you.

Float On...
A non-believer pointed out to me today that life isn't "A bowl of cherries." I've turned my back on a career and stable, "normal" life in favour of snowboarding and seasons. I think that's to be applauded.
Right now there's only one thing to focus on.
Float on.

Avoriaz
http://livecam.avoriaz.com/
It is snowing and snowy in Avoriaz where I shall soon be for the winter months. This pleases me greatly. It is apparently going to be a cold winter in the UK and Europe according to an article in todays Guardian:
"Holly and other berries are lavish in most areas – considered a sign of cold conditions to come – and more than 300 Bewick swans arrived a week early from Siberia, another long-recognised portent."
Berries and swans surely can't be wrong can they.

Oooooh...
Move you
Buy and sell you
Terrorise you
Mass destruct you
Flaunt you
Disconnect you
Clusterfuck you
We will crush you
Rocks are slow life (X8)
I see
Television
Pretty pictures
Of starvation
Icy
Cold apartments
I see fractures
I see fragments
Rocks are slow life (X12)

"Goddag, yxskaft."
There is a Swedish proverb that will most likely best sum up this blog:
"Goddag, yxskaft."
Translation: "Good day, axe-handles."
Notes: Usually said when someone says something that is totally off topic. The proverb originates from a story about a deaf man who used to sit outside his house, making axe-handles. Not hearing what people said he had learnt by heart the answers to what people usually asked him/said to him. Most people passing by would simply greet him and then ask him what he was making. But one day a stranger came along and asked him for the way to town, and so the answers turned into nonsense.
