Saw and heard the most beautiful thing yesterday

It was a square of people all singing togther in th rain. With the help of Bobby Mcfarrin they sang a mix of Bach and Ave Maria (I don't know who wrote it) I was touched by the magic of music and how it united people. I wonder if music is the key... But please if you want to treat yourself to something nice and positiv then go out and buy a Bobby McFarrin CD (I can recommend Hush, which was done with Yo Yo Ma). The guy is magical the way he uses his voice and the audience is amazing.
So go ahead put a smile on your face...http://www.bobbymcferrin.com/

Its great to find a quote that basicly says what I think

"I have lived in the pursuit of a vision, both personal and social. Personal: to care for what is noble, for what is beautiful, for what is gentle; to allow moments of insight to give wisdom at more mundane times. Social: to see in imagination the society that is to be created, where individuals grow freely, and where hate and greed and envy die because there is nothing to nourish them. These things I believe, and the world, for all its horrors, has left me unshaken."
— Bertrand Russell, "Reflections on My Eightieth Birthday"

But kind of irretating that somebody thought of it first... :-)

So I'm sitting here monday night after what has been an amazing week in so many ways. Like I already stated its been moving to have so many people think of me on my birthday making me feel really special. So following the birthday I have been listening to the new MEW album that I got as a present. I suspect that the neighbours will be knocking the door down soon asking me to turn it off, cause they now know it by heart...
Oh yes this weekend I discovered the wonderful game of squash...which is why my whole body hurts, but I now understand the passion for the game. I can think of nothing more stress relieving then hammering a ball into the wall... So thanks Morten, Søren and Kanva for kicking the shit out off me, it felt great. BTW if anybody has pictures from the party can you please send them??? Thanks

THANK YOU

Thanks everybody, it has been a fantastik Birthday one of the best ones ever. I'm a bit hungover (no there will be no armlengths photo...(see below)). I have just been so happy to hear from everybody, to see the people I could and to have alot of fun last night(a picture will be posted when I have one...)
But again Big kisses to everybody and thank you...

Did we forget...

I sometimes wonder what people will say in hindsight when they talk about the end of the nineties and the beginning of the new millennium. I wonder if they will see it as period of enlightenment or a necessary evil. I keep looking at the western culture that I guess I'm a part of, and that seems to be dictating what the world should look like or how it should be ruled. Don't take this an outright criticism of democracy, equal rights for everybody and women in particular, that I feel is essential in our society. But sometimes I wonder if with all this that we think is right and civilised, has led us to forget to know when we might be wrong. Have we stopped questioning ourselves or our way of life? When radical Muslims say that they are in a war towards the corruption that the western and the American (in particular) way of life represents. Maybe they hold some truth? I mean its probably not as bad as they portray it, but could some of it be right? Most criticism holds some kind of truth. I mean we have a loss of interest in our democratic processes. Most people agree that we have become more and more egoistic. Have we forgotten some of the fundamentals? Is it more important to work then to take care of your family. Could there be prestige in humanity instead of in titles? Sometimes when I look at the time I'm living in I wonder what we have contributed in terms of the development of the human thought, the human spirit. Are there other ways of living or thinking then we do. For generations before us great men and women have asked questions about our existence. Today asking questions seems dangerous (or dumb). I wonder if we've forgotten to doubt.

The worlds greatest armslength photographer

Well alot of you have been asking for a picture of my new hairstyle...so I chosse the worst possible morning to do so. If you ever wonder what excessiv drinking and no sleep leads to here it is...
Hope you enjoy

You open up a page and...

I was reading a magazine and open up a page and my jaw dropped. This is proabably one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen in my life. I am absolutly in love with it. I wonder if it will be sold to someone who will like it as much as I do...well maybe I'll have money to buy it one day...
If I do I'll give you a ride...

I'm not sure I'm boasting or not...

But I hope you can share in my joy... Yesterday I furfilled a dream I had since I was a kid. I took my bike (on the picture) and rode to my grandma's house. It was an absolutly beautiful day, blue skies with fleeting clouds and Denmark or rather zealand in a way I have never seen it before. I passed little farmhouses, black and white cows, big old estates and these little churches that they have in the countryside. And so I arrived 5 hours later, my legs hurting from about 120 km. but with a smile on my face to my second home in Denmark. I have never been so happy to drive down that coast road and see the sea and all the little houses I know so well...

Yeah well the big ideas and thoughts will have to come later, today its just a tribute to one of the greatest players in the history of football. Yesterday a man who was at the head of the french team that showed France what a multicultural country can achieve in sports, came back to the French national team. Being himself of algerian decent Zindine Zidane was a symbol of what imigrants could bring to France. Being back on the team I'm looking forward to seeing that Zindane magic back in the jersey of les bleus...Zindane pour président!!!

Just thought you would enjoy some art. This is as you may know is my favorite. Some say it clearly reflects me. I just love Mr. Pollock I can spend half an hour staring at his paintings. I had never seen this one before its called Number 23. Amazing what you can do with black and white.
Whats your favorite artist???
If anyone has a spare send me one....

I should be doing my thesis....

Not writing blogs, learning how to do magic tricks, chatting with everybody, looking at the tate online, discovering Tracy Emin, listening to the wiseguys, reading the 6th Harry Potter (that stinks, but made it in a day anyway), I shouldn't be going on 30 km rides on my bike but jeez I feel free, shouldn't be baking bread (but nothing calms be down as much), shouldn't be spolied with great wine at Bjørn and Anja's place, I shouldn't be going to free movies in the city, I shouldn't be learning to play the guitar...
Guess I better get started...
