Re: Monthly chat April 2019
hi and thanks for the reply and the recommendations!
I'll create a separate topic. I just asked here to be sure if it would pass since I was unsure if you guys got 10 of those a week! a damn shame about the BSC games though, Troopanum 2 was one of my favorites! Insanely fun all around!
Ah, the Brexit thingy is as humorous as it's utterly depressing. Maybe you guys will join some sort of companionship with us since Norway never have been a part of the EU? We have a sweet deal though, and the EU have implied that you guys are not going to get that same privilege if you actually go through with it. That's unfortunately what we get when old white men scared of those "brown people" are dictating how society aught to work, and I haven't mentioned the fact that their worldview mostly are based on kneejerk reactions and outdated thinking to begin with.
Anyways, sorry to hear about your situation man, that's bureaucracy at its worst right there! I'm assuming she's American based on your earlier writings? I've heard of Americans that have faced similar stuff around here as well when finding a Norwegian boyfriend/girlfriend. I hope you'll sort it out!
Haha, after my previous post I read through my post history and it's astounding to see how much my English has improved since then. I knew it was worse, but some of it was textbook Engrish and it was really apparent that I was a kid and not an adult. Brought back some memories though!
Other than that I've been on a reading binge lately and read Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting in English (I read it in Norwegian back in 2015) but wanted to read the real deal, so to say. It was challenging in a positive way to read it narrated in Scots for the most part since I had to concentrate to understand it. It turned out fine though since I generally have a knack for understanding accents and dialects, if I should say so myself :d
Other than that I plowed through Hunter S. Thompson's The rum diary and am going for some of his other work next. Don't know why I haven't checked him out earlier since it sure was right up my alley!
As with musical ventures I've decided to start actually making music, probably hip hop, reggae/dancehall and possibly some drum and bass under a different pseudonym. I've studied music myself back in the day, but I had much more doubts about my musical talent to actually go into it full time but after 5 years of studying both sociology and political science I've decided that normal academia is not for me. I'm an artist at heart and want to exploit that to the fullest from now on! I've also been a music nerd my entire life and listen to a lot of stuff, I'm a pretty good singer and got perfect pitch so the only thing I need now is equipment to bring out all of my ideas for people to hear and I'm really looking forward to that! I'm applying for a bachelors degree in journalism and are there by moving to Oslo this summer just to have something to fall back on but maybe my initial reluctance to actually make something have made me better music wise? I think so, since my voice has improved a lot as well as my ability to structure songs and such.
Anyways, sorry for the stream of consciousness rambling, I got a bit carried away, haha!
