What do you like about Norway so much?

The water, it's very, very good.

The air, very, very clean.

The food, very, very healthy.

When you're sick, in trouble, you still can live comfortably, you get help, no need to worry about those kinda things.

It doesn't feel as corrupt and "stupid" as a lot of other cultures. Have a sense of certainty that the people running things are more just and propper. (Might be inaccurate though lol).

My family lives in Norway lol.

I guess the nature n shit is really pretty.

Ok, that's all I could think of, top of my head.

Yo man, always enjoy reading your notes
If you bother, I got some questions for you below (cus I'm a curious guy..)

+ Show Spoiler +

I've never been to Norway but I know about 1/2 a dozen norwegians fairly well and they are all extremely solid people. It seems like especially Norway and that part of the world in general is producing a way above average number of smart, capable, and morally rich people.

What do you think you are you doing in 20 years? Are you ever planning to leave Norway? What are your thoughts about reading books/not reading regularly? What stakes are you playing atm? Who's your favorite SC II player? If you could go back in time to when you were 18 years old, what life-advice would you give yourself?

Oj, questions, yay. I'll answer them super honestly!!

What are you doing for a living?

I have a part time job, it's only 50%. And it got given to me in a meeting with 2 of my shrinks, an advisor and a government kinda person. (This was all pretty fun and surreal xD).

My task is suppose to be maintaing a blog for a small company, and fix a facebook page and maintain it. They just changed venue, so in the top floor it's a store, they sell stuff, and in the basement a huge kitchen like thingy. In the cellar they are ment to make food, sell it to the rest of the building, stuff like that.

So far I've just gone around the building fixing computers, which is lol, since I know very little to nothing about fixing computers. I just delete the viruses, put on some scans and that usually does the trick lol.

A few years back I sustained myself on Poker, I played a mix of 100nl and 200nl. But they just stole my money, and I couldn't get it back. And I acted all newbish and started gaming instead of re-grinding. And by that time I was very sick. My body didn't take up most food with sugar in it, and I didn't know.

Rest of the cash is from Rehabilitation money I get from the Government, and I have money to "flow" on here and there. During summer I usually travel with Dokosoko, and so far I've won every time I've been on one of them trips. I won around 8000e last summer, and I won around 2000 in December playing live.

I do spend A LOT of money on food though, I need super food, and I love it lol. A lot of it bought at health stores. So don't have a lot of money, but on the upside, I've gotten A LOT healthier lately.


Are you ever planning to leave Norway?

I have thought about it a lot, but I'd need to fix myhealth first. I've got this solid system around me. A really good Doctor that takes care of me, a good fysiotheapist, 3 shrinks and an awesome (pretty good looking) advisor. + My dad and siblings.

I would have to be able to maintain myself, money wise, and be able to live for a bit without having to come home for the medicin and stuff like that. But I do long (for combat) LOL. Ok, sorry, couldn't help myself.

I do long to live outside of Norway. I do feel a little out of place, most people live in conformity. Love Football, watch TV and have 9 - 5. I do feel I don't fit in. I have Somatic suffering as my primary dysfunction, and a weird one. When things get boring, or I get bored, I get physical ailments. I need to learn something, or grow, or talk about concepts, ideas. I get sad when things get mediocre lol.

That's why I love just talking English so much, I feel it's x10 more powerful and exciting than Norwegian. I feel A LOT more alive talking to people outside of Norway, people show more masks, more color, talk, open up, it's terribly exciting lol.


What are your thoughts about reading books/not reading regularly?

I think it's awesome!!! I get depressed if I don't read lol. And I love this quote.

"Leaders are Readers"

Not that I'm the leadery type, still like it lol. I think it's super important to stimulate your thoughts, your mind. You really are what you think of most of the time. Just thinking of shit, and you quickly becoming shit.

Most important thing a human can do is to eat food, healthy food, and to take in nourishment in form of knowledge, stimuli I suspect.

I know that some people take in knowledge differently, and the form of reading might not be their cup a tea. But take it from me, my attention span for reading when I was younger was around 7 seconds.

That means, if you take me to a gym, I could lift 2kg weights, that's about it. You need to work at it to be able to take in a lot more, and keep at it. It's one of them things that people link to something "boring, zzzz, work, hassle" so forth, and it's the complete oposite, it increases your sense of fulfilment, your contendness throughout the day, week by a lot. But we tend to go for INSTANT gratification, desire, what's good right now. Instead of increasing your overall awesomeness.


What stakes are you playing at the moment?

I've hardly played any poker lately, I had a burst in December, January, but after that It's been really quiet.

I have last few weeks been looking through sites to find out where I have some money left. I found 3 sites with around 350 dollar on each. So it feels daunting to start building from micro and up. Might not been that smart to cash out as much as I did, I just got a new place and I felt I needed the money. I had a good stake going where I was grinding 200nl, and I cashed out most when the stake ended. I think it ended cuz my mate was down 100.000k euro from the same guy lol. And now we ain't getting a new one lol.

I thought I might give Diablo 3 a go, see if I could live in that somehow. So hardcored that, 15-16 hours a day first 8 days, got to Act 4 Inferno, and felt it wasn't all what I thought and hoped it would be. And I realized most people who were earning things had a lot of bots set up. So quit. Went back to walking in the forest, reading books, articles and watching insightful youtube channels.


Who's you're favourite SC2 Player?

Well... The old BW pro's just switched xD So if you have them in it's standard answer, the 4 Pillars of E-sport.

If I can't pick any of them, It's also probably a "standard" answer, got to go with either Hero or STephano, for their clever play, quick wit and awesome micro xD

Although, I was rooting for Hero as one of the first. At the start of SC2, when I was "foolish" thinking about, omg, what if I go pro, I can commentate better than them super commentators, I can make a living out of thiz lolz. First I need to just get GM league, and I played a lot for a month, got really high in masters, then "didn't feel it" and I quit. But back then I really loved watching Hero. When Huk was winning them Mlg's, I was like, holy shit, this Hero guy is better than Huk in virtually all aspects, he'll start to wreck shit up.

Ok, yay. I'm done xD

Awesome, your posts are always an entertaining read!
Big cheers ;>
