The hunt for studio space

The hunt for studio space

It’s been a dream for me and the future of my company .com to get a real . I have a lot of the to stuff in there, but simply just need the space. At the moment I need to remove half my if I want to set up for a studio session. So I’m determent to get a place where I can just go, and most of my stuff will just be there.

Back where I was in , I was just a signature away, for getting my own studio in the smack middle of the city. But when my job did not renew my temp contract, I simply was not able to afford the place… So the dream kind a washed down the drain at that point.

To start with, I’m searching for a studio space, where maybe 3-5 other people also have access and use it for office as well, so we therefor can share all the expenses. To start with it might be a bit to expensive to upkeep a place of my own with the income I get. But i’m pretty sure and certain that I will be earning a lot more when I have a place to do stuff.

Some of my contacts told me about some of these shared office spaces, where you do your business from, that actually also have a studio space attached. This would maybe be real good. And being able to run my business with a lot of other creative people around me, maybe not be that bad an idea. I know the would love a place where she can just go, when she needs pictures of her costumes and creations.

How awesome would it be to have a place like this?

Lets all remember the day, the wind blew coldest.

Lets all remember the day, the wind blew coldest.

Dear Christina.

One year has gone by sense you left this world at the terrible military on 13 October 2009. Today, the and soldiers are gathering in Rena for a memorial service in your honour. Sadly I can not be there for you, or for your friends and when the return to .

You see Christina…  A lot has happened in the last year, and the year has gone past so fast. Only thing that has not changed are the amount of thoughts and people thinking of you. Not many people has tried loosing someone that young for reasons unknown. Even though you and I was not the closest I still feel like I know exactly who you where. Might be the effect you had on Maria or just any other person that you ever encountered. One thing I can truly say, is that not one day goes past, where we are not reminded of you or thinking of you.

Many have felt your presence, and we are all aware that you are with us. My biggest regret this past year is that i have yet to visit you resting place. I have not yet been by you sense we said goodbye. I missed the chance before moving back to . But then again i also know that you are with me here in DK as well as with Maria in Oslo. So you are really not that far away.

But Christina. I just wanted to let you know we miss you all. Yes I know I did not know you the best, but by some reason I miss and think about you just the same.

love

The hours before the storm

The hours before the storm

It’s Wednesday and I’m having a brief moment to collect my thoughts and prepare mentally for the next many days I have ahead of me. Tonight we have the premiere of The House of Yes.  I need to prepare a lot for this performance, for i have a lot in my mind at the moment. Lucky i have the day of from work today, so I’ve been able to sleep a bit longer and just relax at home.

First i need to prepare for the shows that’s coming up. I will be going straight from work and straight to the theater for the show. So i will have no time in between to do shopping, cooking or just relaxing. I I’ve spend this day to by small things like, fruit, pasta and rice etc, so i have something to eat when i get home late in the evenings. It can be hard to go without food after a day from 08:30 till 22-23:00 in the evening. Long days, but worth it all.

As a part of my “warm up” just before the show, one of the methods I use is therapy. To but it short, even if i had had a shitty day, feeling sad, a lot of my mind etc. I put on my headphones and I literally blast the crap away. I run the on full power and totally disregarding that it might actually hurt my hearing. I do this for at least 5 minutes or sometimes if I need to do a physical warm up, then I’ll let it run for about 15 to 20 minutes. The is often very hard and powerful with a lot of (i sometimes uses my brothers music from the metal band The Interbeing) The music allows me to relax and clear my head, forget about everything and everyone. Forget about the thoughts running in my head, the people i miss, the people i hate and even let’s me forget about myself. It’s just me and the music. I don’t listen to the lyrics but more the power of the music. I’m recharging my batteries so to speak. Used this method sense 2005 and it works for me.

Well i guess this I why i also write this blog, so I don’t need a shrink… I have a lot of things I need to get blasted out of my head, if I’m needed to be someone else on stage. Gf and I ended the relationship two weeks ago, and I’ve been shattered into pieces. I’m trying to piece back together my mind, and am yet to be successful. I can’t deny that I don’t miss her and think about her, but I’m also aware that it might be for the best for both of us. She started at the in , and got to like it so much, that the choice of moving back to Denmark and live here fell apart… I understand that she don’t wanna change school. I understand that it’s to hard that I’m not around when needed. I understand that she might not even want to come to DK when school is finished. I understand that it is for the the best, when we’re so far apart, and the future is a mist. But I’m yet to understand that’s it over after almost 4 years with two years living together. Can’t say i don’t miss her or the two guinea pigs.  It ain’t easy, but i suppose it’s not supposed to be.

Concert shoots

Concert shoots

It’s been awhile sense i had a good concert shoot. Lucky i had a chance of shooting , when they where on their first tour and arrived in (you can see them by pressing here) But now i have two shows to look forward for. I actually don’t know if I’ll shoot at both shows, but you never know. It’s my brothers band “The Interbeing” who has some upcoming concerts. The events are arranged by different people, like the 30′th of October it’s a release event for “” first . I have had the pleasure of shooting Psy:Code for different events, including a band , and latest when Slayer and the unholy alliance had their tour and played here in Denmark. Psy:Code was the Danish warm up band for the entire event. You can see pictures on the menus from Psy:Code as well.

Hello, tap-tap, is this thing on?

Hello, tap-tap, is this thing on?

It’s September, and it’s been a long time sense I’ve written anything. It’s time to start up again and starting out with a short update of what has happened the last couple of months.

During the summer i came to the decision to move back to The Motherland. I have had no job after i stopped at Elkjøp in February, and it just got to me. The reasons for moving back has been stacking up during the last year, and i decided that this was the best thing for me to do. My Norwegian way of life lasted for one year. Many might say that one year is not enough time to start up from fresh in a new place, and i agree with them. One of my former colleagues from Finland had to use 4 years to get attuned to her new life in Norway. As said the reason are there, where the main one is my theatrical work i do in Copenhagen. Not gonna get in details at this point.

My life in Norway has been a huge roller-coaster of emotions, thoughts, events and life changing things. I have met a lot of new people and lost some of them again. I’ve made new friends that  i ain’t gonna let go so easily. And i have had a wonderful life with Gf and her . Gf has been my brightest point in Norway, when things seemed pointless and hopeless. You could say that with the events that took place like loosing our loved friend Christina Rødstøl to the terrible accident in October 2009, not getting my contract on the job renewed, being unemployed, figuring out more meaning than 42, getting as the newest family member, loosing and everything else, might just have brought us closer together. All in all, it really sucks, that at this moment, she has not been able to come back with me to . All good things are worth waiting and working for. (more to come on this subject, just not right now) So status is now; me back in the apartment from where we moved in August last year.

After the decision was made to pull the anchor and return home, i applied for a job, went to the interview the week after. 4 hours after the interview i had the job. So what went wrong in Norway?, where i tried so very hard for 7 months? (yet another blog post to come) I got hired for working in Kamerahuset.dk Selling and helping people with their questions and purchases of digital cameras. Not my only function here, and i’m rapidly growing in the field of responsibilities. I was hired for start August 2, and have now been there for 1½ months. Once again I’ve met new people and have some awesome colleagues. Looking forward for the next long period of time, as i can hear my knowledge and mood grow for the better…. Just wish Gf was here to share the joy with me. (not that she is that far away, long live Skype!)

The same week i arrived at Copenhagen i also got hijacked for two plays with my lovely theater group The . We are doing a called “The House of Yes” and straight after that, we are doing the Christmas /musical “A Christmas Carol” looking very much forward to do these two , for i have had no acting involved in my life for the entire time in Norway.

When i arrived in Copenhagen i pretty much just had my suitcase with cloth and my laptop. And finally just last weekend i visited Gf and Gf-dad who was having his birthsday, in a van to pick up the rest of our stuff and my electronic equipment. I have been on the couch of my loving family for the first month and just got my own place back this September. It’s all good.

Well this was as said just a quick update that i have started to write again, just as i used to. A lot of exiting things has been popping up that i wanted to write about; , games, gadgets and of cause , so hopefully i will be writing on a daily basis again.

Love ya all -  Tai out.

Save me Jebus

Save me Jebus

As written and shown in the previous post, we had the in . Even though that rights has been accepted in the society, there still are some coock coocks to find. I’ve never been a huge fan of religion and seeing some religious fanatics like this guy here, i feel sad for them. Sad that they are still so narrow minded.   (as said by some other dude; I have nothing against god, it’s his fan club I hate) I do find it funny that the only one at a day like this, that’s being laughed at, is the Fan boy with the sign.

Oh so jolly and gay

Oh so jolly and gay

Today in , we had a arranged by something called “Skæve dage”  or something like that. Sun is shining with 23 degrees and everyone i happy. I met up with some of my friends at the place called Grønland, and we decided to go to a another area so we could see the go by. I must say that compared to the Pride in the in Oslo is very low key. That was really not that much noise, and only a few really outrageous costumes and boomboxes, but everybody seemed jolly and gay, so i believe that they all had fun. I believe in Gay rights, such as marriage and children (as long as we don’t get some bullshit like some say a child does not need ANY man/woman in their , i do believe that a child should have male and female influence some how)  Hard to think that being gay was once considered a decease or a mental illness, and they had no rights what so ever. So I’m very glad  that Europe today is that much more enlightened. Well here is some pictures of the event today in case you where not in Oslo to see it yourself. And keep an eye out for next post, where i will write about the only cock/weirdo/dick/stupid man at the event.

A streetcar named desire?

A streetcar named desire?

Today walking home from and turning around the corner to grab the streetcar further home i noticed a lot of fuzz. Did not really think that much of if and quickly entered the coach and took a seat. I was at this point not thinking that much about my surroundings and was just sitting there with my music playing in my headphones. Looking out the window to the left of me i did wonder a little bit why the streetcar was parked halfway into the intersection. And when looking straight forward i then noticed that there was no driver. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. I took of the headphones and listen to the people around me. The driver of the Streetcar was standing outside talking to a lot of people, and then i heard what the other passengers was talking about:(roughly translated from Norwegian to English)

Lady: What the hell happened? Why are we not rolling?

Man: There has been an .

Lady: Oh no, what happend?

Man: Someone got hit by the streetcar

Lady: Did he go over a red light in the crosswalk?

Man: Don’t know

Lady: Well, he probably did, and now we have 5 Streetcars behind us blocking the road. How can you be so and don’t notice a 30 meter long streetcar?

Man: Well…. He was blind…..

Lady blushes a bit and leave the streetcar…

I looked over my shoulder to the right and saw that man with a pair of sunglasses and a blind man walking stick was leaning against the wall. A guy on a bike saw the whole deal and helped him up. Lucky for him nothing has happened and he was just a bit shocked. At this point i should have left myself and start to walk home instead for it would only take about 15 minuttes to do so. But i stayed behind to see how things was organized, for i have always been wondering a little bit on, what the procedures was when people get hit/run over by the street cars. When an accident happens with a bus, all the cars and busses behind it will be able to go around it and continue their day. With streetcars this is just not possible, for they are driving on rails and there really is no way around them.

Well the ambulance and the police arrived to check up on the involved and take statements from the witnesses. A policeman came trough the cart and asked who saw/noticed anything. He looked at me and asked again and i just nodded no. The he said “you should listening to that” and pointed to my headphones! What? So guess he assumed that i had been there sense the accident and did not notice it because i was listening to music….. right…. Well the Streetcar “emergency car” came to the spot, took the driver of the coach with them and planted a new guy in the driver seat. So apparently the drivers are taken out of duty when this happens. Guess this is for the best, in case of them maybe needing crises help, or even need a much longer talk to the police. If he was dragged away by police, would be standing there with no driver and the traffic on hold. The new drivers was just waiting on word from the emergency car people, that it was okay to carry on with the passengers, or if it needed to be emptied and rolled to nearest service stop because of damage to the streetcar. In the end the streetcar rolled onward with the passengers for the remaining of the trip, for then to be turned in to service.

As far as i know the blind man did not suffer any damage beside the shock. Who would really desire to be hit by a streetcar. (and how many town even have streetcars anymore besides Oslo and Prague?

17th of May in Norway

17th of May in Norway

The 17th of May in is a national holly day and . The Norwegians are celebrating the writing of the Norwegian constitution and their Independence from Denmark in 1814. Almost everyone has a way to show their patriotism for the country by having a flag or something to show of the Norwegian colors. The most common way they show are by wearing the official dress (also called ). The Dresses that Norwegians wear are a bit like the Scottish kilts. But where the Scottish colors and decorations show what they are from, the Norwegians dresses show more, from what region of the country they are from. The Gf’s dress is a blue dress with golden/Bronze pattens and jewelry. It represents the region around the area called Akershus and Lillestrøm.

All over the country the Norwegians celebrate the day, and walking around in might make you think that the entire country has gone to the Capital for the celebration. Soooo many people are waking around the streets, and you get pretty tired of either standing or walking in slow motion trying to get through the masses. I like the 17th of May, but it’s more my thing to find a spot or a café where you are able to sit down and just look at all the pretty people.

and I has returned to our apartment where we are getting ready to celebrate with some friends. If the weather holds up, we might make some BBQ out in the garden of the apartment building and if not, we will just cook the food indoors and enjoy the rest of the evening as you should on the 17th of Maj.

you all have a nice celebration day, i will now sit down and scheme on how we can get Norway (and their oil millions) back to Danish territory.
