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.

Super Furry Animals - Slow Life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw5QnHKxODQ&ob=av2e




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)
Oooooh...

"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.
