Wishing, and hoping...

So 2009 is lacking towards its end. A year that I could not have predicted the result and meaning of. I feel in many ways as if Karma came around, once again, and it taught me valuable lessons in the great war, called life. The reason I'm choosing to call it a war, is that there's a constant reminder of what's good and bad, what's right and wrong and what makes you laugh or cry. It's a balance, thats so hard to find, and I do not believe I'll find it in 2010, but I do believe that I'll come closer. 3 years ago I thought I was oh so wise, and I knew it all, but circumstances has shown me, that I know so little, and that no matter how hard I try, I cannot predict what the next day, the next hour, the next week or the next year will bring. What I can do, is enjoy myself, my great surroundings, and make sure they know I enjoy them. I said goodbye to someone this year, and it was much needed for myself, but it turned out that that person means more than me, than I could chose to ignore, and I'm so happy that that person is now a part of my life again. I know who I want to surround myself with, and how.
So here's a thank you; to the 3 girls/'skrævs' in my life who've been ready to grab me, thank you to the monday-dinner team for great dinners, great conversations and a great bond, thank you to my oldest friend 'mims' for never being on time, but always being there, thank you to my PG for reminding me to laugh when it seemed so easy to cry, thank you to the "wife "in my life, you're the closets I'll ever come to having a soul-mate in my life, thank you for rushing when times where tough, thank you for understanding who I am, thank you to my great 'babs' for making me understand the relationship between you and I and what that entitles, and last, thank you to my two assholes, for giving me two very special and dear smiles that reminds me of the times that I thought were lost!
So at last, I hope for a great 2010 with more laughter (if possible), more outdoor-Copehagen-activities, more love and more hugs!

ROCK ON!

A Hollywood-Nerd

As a true celevrity-nerd, and yes, I am proud to say that I read all the gossip every day, it saddens me that yet another celeb has gone to cupcake-heaven (my idea of heaven is a big cupcake). Clueless was one of the all-time greatest girlie-girl movies, and I was in chock when I checked out www.perezhilton.com, to find out that the fab Brittany Murphy is now dead.
So here's a little 'ode' to the some of the FANTASTIC celebs we all lost in 2009:

Patrick Swayze: Thank you for making me dance every time I watch Dirty Dancing, thank you for making me realize that only you know how to make "hungry Eyes"
DJ AM: A true DJ at heart, a dude that lived for the beats, the rhythm and the lyrics - the music, you took to a new level
Michael Jackson: When I was 16, a had a huge discussion whether you or Stevie Wonder defined POP music, and there's no doubt in my mind, that you will always be the King, you brought me so many great memories, and I will continue beating it on the dancefloor every time I listen to "Rock With You"
Brittany Murphy: "I will never te-eel" - wauw, that sentence is stuck in my mind!

So as the nerd I am, I will finish off by writing, may you all rest in piece, and enjoy eating the huge cupcake!

Who do you strive to be?

... The woman who is so well aware of her surroundings, the man who is so insecure he has tattoed his homemade measurement of his penis? What defines you?
Do we, human-beings cover up ourselves with little lies, so that deep down, nobody really knows, who YOU ARE? Will we ever figure out who we are, without the help of self-help books, friends, food, movies, music, the newest cell-phone, or another half?
My grandpa said, a couple of days ago, that to live in an environment without money, and the power money creates, we would run around bare-naked, and be happy as hell.
Is there a middleway??

Copenhagen, Hopenhagen, Brokenhagen

All I can say is, WHAT HAPPENED??
COP15 has truly shown us, that no matter how powerful, stubborn, or how willing one is to negotiate, intercultural differences, or perceptions, and the lack of understanding to different human beings, made an impact on the goal that was reached. Which was, exactly?
I believe every single person came here, to Brokenhagen, as FOX News now refers Copenhagen as, with the best intentions at heart.
And it kills me to acknowledge, that nothing came out of it, all the good intentions are now in the dumpster.
Action, not thoughts, ACTION!
(Yay, inside me, theres a hidden acticist, with a fashionable outlook:-)

Ladies of my time

A couple of days aago, I saw the movie about legendary Coco (Gabrielle) Chanel. And embarrasing as it may sound, I truly realized the revolution she started; a new state of mind where women all over the world were no longer bound to the concepts or perceptions of what a true lady was supposed to look like, act like or dress.
And it made me stumble across some of the true ladies in my little countries, they're not the fashioneditors or hip bloggers who circulate in the danish fashionsociety, no, it's the ladies who have truly worked, and worked hard to get to the well respected number they represent in such a small society as the danish fashion-society. I do with all my haert, respect them!!

Things that make me laugh/smile abt. Christmas

1.The never-ending story about the most overexposed celeb in Copenhagen, Sydney Lee, why he's famous, I really don't know, but he sure makes me laugh!
2.The joy of winter-flowers
3.Sonia Rykiel pour H&M
4."Pebernødder" - a danish christmas-treat
5.The christmas-trees, or the lack thereof
6. Lots of candles
7. World Aids Day (December 1'st)
8. All the great activities in CPH during
9. The financial crisis, not that I love 'it', but the fact that stores need to get rid of their stock, and therefore decides to put it on sale!
