If dinosaurs were alive today


If dinosaurs were alive today the world would be a lot dangerous place to live. We had to look out for the huge animals all the time. It the animals were still alive we would probably have invented safety techniques to be safe when we were walking in the street or driving car. Probably the houses we were living in would probably be built with different material than we are using today, so it would be stronger in case the dinosaurs tried to step on the house.


Maybe we would have parks where the dinosaurs were living, at last the most dangerous once of them like Tyrannosaurus Rex and other meat eating dinosaurs. Maybe we would have domesticated dinosaurs which we could use as transport like we were using horses in earlier days. Maybe we could have used them as tools to prevent pollution. That would be a good thing. If human beings were living with dinosaurs for millions of years they surely would have found a easy way to live with them by now.

A perfect world!

What would be a perfect world? A world without war, a world without hate, a world without anger, a world without harm, a world without hard feelings, a world without heart breaks, a world without tears. If there is no hate can there be love? If there are no fights can there be peace?

I think the definition of a perfect world depends on the person who definite it. What’s perfect depends on the person’s personal view. A perfect world to me would be a peaceful world with no wars and fights. A world where everybody is treated the same way without any discrimination of gender, age or race, a world where the skin on your color does not matter. A perfect world would be a fear world with equal right for everybody, a world where no one has to live in destitution. A perfect world would be like heaven, where everything is peaceful and everybody is happy. But how is it possible to make a world where everybody is happy? How is it possible to only feel one feeling all the time? In Christianity the goal is to get to heaven and live happily ever after, but I just do not understand how a human being can be happy all the time? A person told me once that heaven is not the way many people think it is, when you go to heaven you are not a normal human being anymore, you are in another dimension. Like the Buddhist final paradise is nirvana, they believe that when they get there they are satisfied, but then they no longer can feel anything. That kind of makes sense, but still; how can be happy if you do not feel anything? If you do not have any feelings you cannot feel anything bad, but you also still cannot feel really happy and how great is that? I mean to feel really happy. To feel love, to be in love, to show love, how great is that? If you do not have feelings you cannot feel really happy. So what would a perfect world where everybody is satisfied be? A world without any feelings? Is that the price we want to pay for a perfect world?

Soccer and me


Football and me, I do not know where to begin. Actually there is not much to talk about. I am one of these girls that have no clue what so ever about soccer. One of the first memories I have from soccer is Saturday when I was a kid. Saturdays was the day where everybody in the family was gathered. This was in the early days when there was only one TV channel on Norwegian TV. So while my mother was making pizza, which we eat every Saturday, the TV was on and it was showing soccer. That is a good memory of soccer, but I guess the memory had nothing to do with the soccer, more about the fact that we were all together.

Like I said, I do not have a special relationship to football except that I think it is really boring. I do not get the excitement of watching 22 sweaty men running back and forth on field hunting a ball. Actually watching sweaty men I do not mind if they are good looking and sometimes they are and that fact could make me watch a little bit soccer. Still I do not watch the game, just the men. Perhaps that is why soccer is such a popular sport because men like to watch sweaty men? Hmm…

I have watched two whole soccer games in my whole life. One was actually a bit interesting. The playing teams were the Norwegian national team against Brazil’s team. The reason why it was interesting was that Norway won, normally they are really bad, but that time they were really good. The second game I watched was a game the national Swiss team was playing. It was during the World Championship in 2006 and I spend the summer in Switzerland. People were really excited and every time they won the whole city where I lived was a big party, so the reason why I was watching this game was; I was hoping for a party. Guess what happened. They lost and no party, so that is the last soccer game I am ever going to watch.

I Want to Brag A Minute


Normally I am not a person that likes to brag, at least not about myself. Norwegians in general are not a bragging people accept when it comes to brag about our country. It might seem for people who are not from Norway that we Norwegians think we live in the best country in the world. There are a lot of great things about living in Norway, but I think we like to blow thing up when we talk about it with people from other countries. We have the best food, the greatest nature, the friendliest people, the most beautiful girls and the best social security. But why do we love our country? We have really cold winters and even the people can seem cold and unfriendly when you do not know them. Yes, Norway is full of nature and wilderness, but almost no people. The social security makes old people starve and live all by them self in the middle of nowhere. We eat fish that are rotten and people love it. I think the reason why Norwegians like to brag about Norway is because there is no place like home. When I am not home in Norway I miss the beautiful mountains where I live. I miss the fish and I miss the people, even though they seem cold some times, but when all comes to all most Norwegians are very friendly and warm hearted. I only have one more thing to say; home sweet home!
