Odyssey.

No Better Way to Kill a couple of hours.

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Someday this war's gonna end... "

Ziel.

You need a goal, something to aim for.

The only way to get that which you want, is to have a goal. Just like you can only know the way to take when you know your destination. That is the start.

When in doubt, buy booze.

The Holiday gift.

Getting a gift for the celebration of the Winter Solstice can be hard. But the easy way out is to just get a good bottle of hard liquor.

Whiskey for mom or dad and a nice bottle of vodka for the rest. The idea is simple, give away something you know people like but something that they wouldn't spoil themselves with.

Someone likes books, get a first edition or an autographed one. Like cars and driving?, get them an opportunity to drive a car that they otherwise wouldn't. It's all about knowing one thing they like.

And if all else fail just get some form of alcohol.

(But maybe that's just the Swed in me talking.)

Information.

Real?

There is to much information. Everywhere I turn there is information. Everywhere there is someone trying to tell me something. But who is behind it?

I find it hard to figure out what information I can trust and which I can't. Before this was not a problem. As a child it was easy. As a child you trusted your parents. They say that it is one way and that's all you had to hear to believe it. But later on you discover that they get there information from various sources. They get it from the newspapers, radio, television and by speaking to other people. You then wonder which opinions are theirs and which they have adopted by others. And after that there comes a point when you differ with what your parents are telling you. You realize that they might not be right. Now the trouble starts. As you try to make sense of it all you find more information on the matter. Strangely you find both information for and against your newly found thoughts and they are all telling you a different story.

This was hard enough when looking in older forms of media but now we have the biggest platform of free speech that there ever was, the internet. Before you might have found 3 articles with the pro-opinion and 4 holding the con-opinion. Now you might find 3000 articles, 1 million web-sites and 40000 blogs holding one side of an argument. The old ways of giving people information have changed. There is no more one source we all call the news. There is simply too much information to be able to say that. What makes it so hard is not only the share volume that hits us everyday but the fact that the information is being spread so fast that few stops to think what they are actually passing on. For example. I don't know how many times I have pressed retweet, share or like and in that second spread something on. But I do know that I very seldom really stop to think exactly where this info is coming from and exactly from whom it originated. Not only is there to much information but also to many sources.

How can I know what is the truth when so many say they are the only one telling it?

There must be a way to solve this problem. Is it less information? A new way of sorting it? A different way of pointing out what is important info and what is not? New ways off verifying the sources?

Unfortunately I don't have the answers to these questions. Clearly this text does not give any answers at all. Damn it! This means that all I have achieved is to create more f#cking information. Crap.

Don't Panic!

Don't forget to bring a towel.

"The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels...

...More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit, etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win trough, and still know where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with."

Promised Land?

Claude Brown.

"After a while, I just got tired. I never went to any of the classes, and if I did go to one, I didn't know anything. I felt kind of dumb, so I stopped going there. The only time I went to school was when I wanted to make money. I'd go there and stay a couple of hours. Maybe I'd take Turk with me. Turk would sell some pot, and I'd shot some craps, and when we got enough money we'd go uptown."

Weekend.

Have taken tomorrow off in honour of the Be The Weekend party so this will be the last post of the week. Here is the rundown of the weekend.

Friday: There is only one thing worth going to and that is of course BTW:JUGGERNAUGHT. At 22:00 we will open the door, there will be no entrance fee just a extra € on your first drink. In many ways it will be like that color-TV place only cheaper, dirtier and a lot better. There is a open end closing so come for a for, mid or after party.

Saturday: For the ones still operational (after BTW) on Saturday there is M.I.K.Z, soul Explosion 10 years in Festsaal Kreuzberg and Berghain.
