Sigg3 o 0 ( Nick Cave - The Ballad of Robert Moore and Betty Coltrane ) Well, I was wrong. Here's another post:) Just wanted to blog this picture from a dramatized version of Nederlaget (1937), en. the defeat, which my sister played in. She's the one to the left. ![]()
Just a short look on statistics: ![]() As you can see from the illustration above, the majority of my visitors are (naturally) from Norway (38%). A small 7% of the visitors comes from the US, if we assume none of the unresolved/unknown visitors came from the US. So, Americans, get yourself together and point your browser to www.Sigg3.net! Sweden has always been good visitors of this webpage, and the same with the people of the UK. Japan, this month with a 1%, is something different however. They are newcomers in my stats, probably listed as other before, so we all greet them a warmheartedly welcome! ..That's all for today. Thursday, March 20, 2003
WAR IS TERRORISM![]() There's a list on www.ingenkrig.no where you can sign under a protest on the military actions taken in Iraq. As of now (01:15 a.m) there are 24217 sign-ups, including mine. < < < CLICK HERE TO SIGN! > > > Norwegians only, I'm afraid. If anyone of you can find a global list, pls let me know! remember: WAR IS TERRORISMWAR IS TERRORISMI'm really proud of Europeans (and every nations left unnamed) that have demonstrated against the actions of America's president Bush and Tony Blair (UK), and the military actions in Iraq. Among other events, the American flag has been burned approximately 500 times. If I had one, I'd run out in the garden right now with my lighter and wave it in fire to only ashes remained. Frustration. Check out www.ingenkrig.no's map over Norwegian demonstrations today: ![]() WAR IS TERRORISMWednesday, March 19, 2003
Some of you people probably know that I've played in a band called Crescent for 5 years some time ago. Well, we actually released an album (Crescent Sessions 2k) and recorded another one (still unreleased). Now, before all that we recorded some tunes in the same flat we used to rehersal in, and the recording was done by Jon-H (picture). It went a couple of years and the recordings got lost.. a true tragedy! But today Johnny called my up on MSN and said that he'd found some of them. I phoned my ex-bandmembers to tell them about this great event, and in half an hour or so, we'll meet at the local pub (or tavern, if you like) and listen to it. REAL GARAGE GRUNGE-PUNK, man! Yeah:) So this one goes out to Jon-H: pay heed!
Bombs for Peace by Børre Antonsen First i'll brake every bone in your body then i'll put on the coffee and sit down with you and we'll have a peacefull lovely time talking about our happy future together (printed with permission) Tuesday, March 18, 2003
Sigg3 o 0 ( Shogo - Red Riot ) I've just read the Shooting Pool entry @ Pauly's Truckin' zine. It's really good reading, folks. Here's a taste, before you run along and read: i>I began to rack the pool balls and set up the table when one of the girls shouted to me, "Venez-vous avec nous?" "What did she say?" asked Senor. "She wanted to know if we were coming with them," I answered. "To the girl's bathroom?" "Yeah I guess we should. How many times do we get offered to do lines of blow in a bathroom in the back of a shitty-ass club in Amsterdam, with sixteen year old French girls?" Senor's smile said exactly what I was thinking.
Here's a copy of the e-mail I sent to the US Departement of Justice, concerning the case of www.warbucket.com: - - - - - - - - - - - - - COPY - - - - - - - - - - - - - Concerning http://www.warbucket.com Quote from the U.S Constitution, Bill of Rights: Amendment 1 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. I'd like to hear what you have to say about it.. In addition a quote from the United Nation's (universal) Human Rights: Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people. (the Preamble) Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. (Article 19) Sincerely, Sigge Åmdal
Sigg3 o 0 ( Cloroform - deconstruction ) Just a short notice to let you all know that I've actually begun to write the new updates for Me.Sigg3.net
Sigg3 o 0 ( Cloroform - 30,000 people ) This one goes out to all you people actually bying those naive stories about freedom of speach on the internet! http://warbucket.com/ "This domain and website were surrendered to U.S. law enforcement pursuant to a federal investigation and possible prosecution for conspiracy to violate criminal desecration laws." "The Department of Justice and federal law enforcement will continue to investigate and prosecute individuals and groups that violate the federal criminal desecration laws at home and abroad. For more information on federal investigations in this matter, visit www.usdoj.gov." This is fucked up right here! Please send them an e-mail to show our concern in this case of violating the freedom of speach! E-mails to the Department of Justice, including the Attorney General, may be sent to AskDOJ@usdoj.gov. -- Just a follow up: A discussionboard focusing on the lack of respect for the Bill of Rights
It's about a week now since we returned from Scotland, and I know it's about time my travel-journal (@ Me.Sigg3.Net) is updated with the two latest stories: Sigg3 in China and Schooltrip to Scotland. So, I'm reserving this afternoon to finish, at least, the last one and hopefully the first too. I'll let you know when it's up. As some of you ppl already know, I was hired by Pauly from the Tao of Pauly to write for his Truckin' Zine, an online travel-magazine with "short stories, sagas and tales from the road". Check out the latest addition: Sisters! by Sen?r. Begins like this: Chetra is pure innocence. She is a sweet, loving, caring, 18 year old virgin, and having a tight little body is a great added bonus. During my last visit to Cambodia, Chetra shared my bed every night. True, she is still a virgin, but I must admit cuddling up with such a beautiful women, inside and out, was thrilling and wonderful... Sounds pretty interesting, if you ask me! So check it out! Truckin', MARCH 2003 (Vol.2, Issue 3)
Just a short comment on the speach by president Bush last night, which I, unfortunately not, could see as I was sleeping at the time:) A couple of quotes answered: 1) "The tyrant will soon be gone" 2) "Instead of drifting along toward tragedy, we will set a course toward safety." 3) "We will tear down the apparatus of terror and we will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free." Listen, you SOB! 1) No. As with Osama Bin Laden, you cannot take away a personality of Saddam's caliber. I'm not saying that I support the motherfucker, but seriously.. Do you want to go to war to get rid of ONE person? Maybe I should go to war to get rid of mr. Bush? Ehem.... good idea? - Think not. And if you should get lucky and get rid of Saddam himself, then another one will pop-up from the desert as soon as you can say We got him! What then? 2) First of all: what is your version of safety? Is safety a US Army controlled country torn up by carpetbombing with a quite reduced population? Is safety having Bush controlling your country? I think not. On the other hand, speaking of the tragedy Iraq is drifting along to: where are your brains? Do you not think there are rebels working towards a free Iraq? Do you think that all of the people in Iraq accept the situation under Saddam? Do you think that the people of Iraq will accept foreign interference in their internal problems? 3) The apparatus of Terror. I really liked that one, George. If there is one superpower with more terror-equipment than the United States, I'd really like to see it. Saddam can bomb half of Europe and that's a fact. You can bomb the entire world, and nobody says anything. We will help you to build a new Iraq that is prosperous and free. Well, isn't that nice. You remove the badguy and help the leftovers earn money by selling you cheap oil. Good one. I've been critizising the US of A on a number of occasions. Some issues quite farfetched, some not. But I've to say that a beauti- and powerful country like America, is really making me sick when you go to war against a people that is victimized by their own government every day. It's like throwing rocks at a guy in a wheelchair. It's disgusting. Who gave you, maybe the youngest nation in the world, the right to be the world's police officer, judge and executioner? Yourself. So, George, even though you're a funny-looking guy and probably quite nice, I disapprove. Monday, March 17, 2003
My friend and writer, Børre Antonsen has been interviewed by the Norwegian website Forfatterne.net. Read it here www.forfatterne.net/int03/apoet Should explain what he's up to these days. For English readers, check out his weekly poems, @ this site, every number dividable by 2 is in English. The last one updated (actually updated yesturday): Hiding
I just have to say that I'd be a moron if I couldn't critizise myself too, so as a comment to my previous post I have to say that my statement is based entirely on the excerpt presented. Since I haven't registered with www.nytimes.com I couldn't read the whole article, leaving me ditching my buddy Thomas Friedman on grounds invaluable. I apologize personally to him, but my reply to the quote still stands. I'm sitting in the school library right now, supposed to be working on Scottish romanticism and it's poets and poetry. My selected poets are William Blake and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and the poems (a.o) are Auguries of Innocence and the quite entertaining Kubla Khan. Other recommended poems are as follow: Which can all be found @ the online poetry index in the links section.
Sigg3 o 0 ( Dirty Oppland - Vi Digger Det! ) Repairing the World is written by Thomas Friedman and appears in today's NY Times. Here's a bit: "Yes, some people and nations are just jealous of America's power and that's why they oppose us on Iraq. But there is something more to the opposition. I deeply identify with the president's vision of ending Saddam Hussein's tyranny and building a more decent, progressive Iraq. If done right, it could be so important to the future of the Arab-Muslim world, which is why I won't give up on this war." * my comment? Here we go: 1) ...some people and nations are just jealous of America's power and that's why they oppose us on Iraq. What? Seriously? Mr. Friedman, blow me! You don't think it can have anything to do with the fact that attacking Iraq just now will cause many people (including your precious americans) to die? ... I honestly do.. 2) ..If done right, it could be so important to the future of the Arab-Muslim world.. Well, Thomas, I'd have to agree with you on that one. Emphasis on ..If done right! Can you really impose democracy on another people? I think it's really backwards. I mean, isn't this supposed to be voluentary (?). Especially nowadays, when democracy in my own country, isn't working at all. Freedom of speach is all good, but freedom in itself is mostly forgotten. I think it's time for the US to grow up and stop interfering with business they've nothing to do with. I think it's time to get rid of Saddam too. Hence; all we can do is encourage the people of Iraq to stand up for themselves and let them take care of their own future. We can only imagine what will happen if the US takes control down there. In half a year the world (that is USA) will sit on a goldmine (oil) while being kissed in the ass by a reduced number of very, very thankful Iraq inhabitants. 3) A comment to the US of A: The true power of a nation is exposed when the leadership can make reasonable decisions that doesn't have to be popular among the people. I'm not telling you to forget the 11th of September. None of us will. But you must get over it. (* Quotation stolen from The Tao of Pauly !) Sunday, March 16, 2003
Sigg3 o 0 ( Elvis Presley - You were always on my mind )
Sitting here reading about Andre Torrez' project on songs about the one of America's well know myths: Stagger Lee. Nick Cave has a good version. On this webpage you can check out all the different versions made by people ranging from Nick Cave (as mentioned) to Beck and Fats Domino in .mp3 format. CHECK IT OUT! Stayed @ home all yesturday evening. Instead of getting blasted, me, my brother and his buddy rented a couple of movies. I wanted something funny, and boy did I get it: MONSTERS, INC and CORKY ROMANO. Seriously funny! Both films wholeheartedly recommended by Sigg3.net ! Today? Stayed at home most of the time, made some pancakes and ate em. I did. Then I've also done some constructive reading of Zapffe's Om det Tragiske*. It's too bad this material ain't in the list of set reading in school, would've made all the difference. Then again, it wouldn't. Hard to explain really. It's a complex simplicity we all live in... :P You should check out apoet.no soon, as I'm updating it with some new stuff tonight. Børre actually e-mailed me the other day. He's still in Thailand, and that's about all that I know. We'll see if a travel-letter shows up soon. Think it does. Sigg3 o 0 ( Can't wait till sunday sunday someday) (img from 63.195.118.54 used without permisson. *About the Tragical...?) |
