Here comes the sun.

I could put it like this: I don't have a lot on my schedule tonight.
It's friday and you would think that I have any thing (at all) other to do than sitting in my room listening to The Beatles (NOT that I don't enjoy every second!).
As a matter of fact I had english today in school. We really like the new class. English litterature and culture. We read Hemingway, Shakespeare, Chopin, R. Carver, E.E Cummings, Defoe, Keats, E.A Poe and many more. We're also going to watch movies later on (hoping for Frankenstein from 1931). I'm really in a Beatles mood at the time, so the soundtrack of today will be
Here comes the sun taken from the album Abbey Road i 1969 (written by George Harrison). Abbey Road was in fact the last album they recorded.
If you haven't enjoyed The Beatles, you haven't lived properly.
Oh, I got a new bicycle today! Jippyay! And I went on a little trip at once with dad, and right now we're sitting in the basement, watching The Rolling Stones - The Biggest Bang.
He's singing along ofcourse.
Nobody keeps it going as long as Mick Jagger on stage.

Just like heaven.


What are your hopes for the future? And this time I don't mean the nearest future, like university or career, I'm talking about when your old and nobody really wants you.
I'm soon eighteen and life has just begun. This is when it's okey to be alone and you're better of without the commitments. But when I'm old, like seventy or eighty years old (If I should be that lucky) I would hate to find myself alone. Most people would I guess. I want to be married with the same guy I chose fourty years ago or something. We're going to sit in our little house with pictures of friends and family covering the walls. We will have pictures in black and white (because those are the best) of ourselves when we were young, and remember how it felt every time we look at them.
Hopefully we'll have children and grandchildren, but that won't be the only thing that matters in our lives. We're gonna go for long walks in the country on sunny days, with big trees on each side of the road. We're gonna hold hands and talk about something very random, because we already know the important things.
In the evenings we'll drink tea together on the porch in the summer and by the window in the winter. There will always be a lot of candlelight and every day we'll eat dinner together and maybe our children will come visit us.
And things of great importance; Our music collection together. I believe we'll have more of one cd at occations.
Oh, and at our anniversary he'll give me flowers. Not flowers he's bought but flowers he has picked himself outside, because we got married in the summer ofcourse. In the winter at night, we'll go outside and he'll point out the stars and tell me their names, and we'll have a telescope in the attic ofcourse.
And last but not least, our own room with books only. Books we have bought through the years.

The allegory of the cave.

Look what the cat dragged in! It's me, starting a new blog in a new language. Earlier I've had an norwegian blog, but things get old, dusty and boring very fast in my crowded mind.
This is supposed to be my allnew and improved blog about important things like litterature, music and the funny things in life. (I've had philosophy today, and I'm kinda on a roll here).
So, the book I've been reading the last few days is, a classic, uhm... It's about a guy... With like... Sharp teeth. Take a wild guess; Dracula by Mister Stoker himself. I mean. I've read it before, but you can never get enough of awfully cute Jonathan Harker and his Mina. And Lucy is fresh as a morning breeze.
Dracula is brilliant. The movie, however is different from the book. The characters aren't described in the book as they are showed on the screen. It gets me every time, and I cannot say I like it.
Miss Lucy Westenra is innocent and pure in the book, but is some kind of... Yeah a little weird in the film.
So, I mean since I'm reading the book at the moment, it would be wrong if I didn't recommend it to everyone, right? Aaaand let me see. The school has started up again. It seems like every teacher has had a very traumatic summer, since they're all very... Don't do this or that, and I AM THE BOSS OF YOU ALL.
They really enjoy having us on a extremely short leash, but I guess it would be rather amusing for me too if I had that kind of power over someone.
Hm, let's just stop, stare and listen. The artist of the week is;
James Morrison. We like.
And I'm kinda thinking... Let's see, the song Wonderful world From his album Undiscovered from 2006. Enjoy, like I do.
And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me.
