News

Yesterday was my television debut as director of music videos. In a program on a TV station 80% of the nation can receive(NRK2), though ironically not me, my video was broadcasted. Hopefully it means something. Meanwhile the nation is debating energy, and the politicians are lying their skins off as usual. In this nation that has never had a polluting power plant, now they're building one. And everybody agrees, 'cause like most people who has just gotten their hands on a lot of money -they're greedy for more. Greed is raging like a wildfire throughout norwegian society and the result is extremely illogical bordering on the psychotic behaviour from most people. me ME ME. Me, I'm out of it. Living the last few years in paradise before the psychotics destroy it. It won't be long now. In a recent poll 90% of the population claims to believe global warming is a fact. I guess they believe that they believe that themselves though it's obvious that they're lying. They don't believe global warming is a fact, for what parent would willingly destroy his childs future?

It's not a rethorical question. And I've already answered it, only a psychotic parent would willingly destroy his childs future.

The latest projections from NASA aren't encouraging. In fact, they're the nightmare of environmentalism come true. They tell us the whales will survive but we won't.

Global temperature is the highest since the last ice-age, a 12000 year period. Global temperature is one degree below the highest temperature in 1000000 years. When the temperature was one degree above what it is now, sea-level was 25 meters higher than it is now. At the current rate(which is not stabile but rising), we will reach that one degree in one century. Due to feedback loops in systems such as the arctic, it is extremely likely that sea-level will rise 25 meters or more in the same century. And not evenly, not 0,25 meters per year. First the feedback systems must reach self-oscillation, at which time sea-level will rise at a logarithmic rate. Virtually all norwegian cities will drown under the water. The entire county I'm living in now does not have a single house above 25 meters. New York, London and Paris; the netherlands and Bangladesh -all gone. I'll miss Amsterdam.

This is what the people claim to believe in.

But they don't, they live in a fairyland where the most important things are entirely fictious things like interest rates. Something that provably does not exist as physical entity on any level. A dream.

And while they praise their "economy" they build a gas powerplant that is designed to output 40% of the heat it produces into the ocean. And that is not a dream, it's as real as it gets.

There's not a lot of people that will survive. Civilization certainly will not.



Now, entertainment news. A company in New York might be paying me in fashion clothes for the use of a song I wrote. I hope they do. My government has accepted my claim that my hands are destroyed for life and will pay for reeducation. There's not alot of professions where you don't use your hands alot, but the production and direction of film is certainly possible. The norwegian film school accepts 6 student every 2 years. It will not be easy to write an application which will grant me one of those seats but I'll certainly try. Apart from that I am at a loss. I don't know of any professions where I don't use my hands, suggestions would be welcome. The government will grant me three years for my reeducation, they will not pay for any tuition fees exceeding $4000 per annum. Which obviously excludes all foreign film schools I've heard about. In norway most schools are owned by the government and there are no tuition fees, there are some media schools but you'd hardly call them film schools. Not to sound arrogant but I could teach at them, had it not been for my hands.

What I miss most is the ability to play drums and the piano, and even more -my handheld technique with a lightweight video-camera. It took me years to perfect that technique, it allowed me to walk while filming while still producing an image steady enough for most people to watch. It was extremely demanding and I could only do it for about 45 minutes per day, at which point the strain would shut me down, but 45 minutes per day is plenty. Now it is zero. I cannot even hold the camera steady enough while standing still. I was a good videographer. Now I'm not a videographer at all.

Some while back I wrote I was quitting drugs. I did. Somehow I cannot tolerate alcohol any more. My heart starts beating really fast, and keeps doing it for 30-40 hours after I stop drinking. In this period I cannot sleep. The emptiness in my life is complete and the final escape is no longer an option. I see no alternative, for the good of my rapidly deteriorating mental health, to start using tjall. My physical health is also deteriorating rapidly, at this rate I'll have a heart attack before I'm 40. All I do is sit in my sofa and watch TV shows. Since I got ill I have seen some 700 episodes of star trek, everything except that latest series which disgust me. I have seen a hundred episodes of 24. I have seen Macgyver. I an I am really, really bored.

This took 2 hours to write with a lot of pauses.
