Eradication of violence doesn't constrain the mind

The Invitation

2009-08-01T03:18:00.002+02:00

I was watching a movie tonight - it was actually Lord of the rings Return of the King and I got emotional. I had tears in my eyes for the last 30min. Call me a wimp ...haha. Anyway, before I explainwhy i got soppy (I've had some wine and am tired too), Oriah popped into my head, so I wanted to share in case someone has missed out..The InvitationIt doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.I

So called democracy

2009-06-19T01:07:00.004+02:00

I'm upset seeing my boyfriend watch the news about the violent demonstrations in iran, hearing how 2000 soldiers or some kind of mercenaries have been flown in to beat up civilians protesting for nothing but the right for a fair election.I'll cite my boyfriend as he said " where is the United Nations in all this? There's not even anything mentioned on their web site!"True, I didn't think about it

6 year old Pranav Veera with an IQ of 176!

2009-05-06T09:17:00.003+02:00

I'm possibly back!I've met a guy, who swept me off my feet - actually he took me to Italy - Amalfi, Napoli & Roma and I am completely infatuated with his personality - so I've been occupied - in a good way. I hope I can get my midn off him and write something more interesting here soon.For now, I just wanted to share this:Pranav has the IQ of 1 in a million. Not even Einstein managed this :

Benefits of Aloe Vera

2009-03-22T15:26:00.002+01:00

I recently started an Aloe Vera group on facebook called Forever Living Stockholm and I'd like to share some info here too. I've been drinking Aloe Vera for nearly a year and my life has changed miraculously since then.I am not allergic to cats anymore. This was my worst allergy and I could only be around cats for an hour on medication before starting to rash, sneeze etc., my pollen allergies

Interesting Facts about vodka

2009-03-09T19:30:00.001+01:00

Now I'll feel like Martha Stewart, but I love when I get mails like this one ;)1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka. The stuff dissolves adhesive. 2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five minutes and wash clean. The alcohol in the vodka kills mould and mildew. 3. To clean your

I got a mail from my uncle yesterday, saying:Dear friend:i would like to introduce a good company who trades mainly in electornic products.Now the company is under sales promotion,all the products are sold nearly at its cost.Original Products + Best Quality + Brand New + Warranty + Quick Shipping + 100% Secure . the price is a surprising happiness to you!It is realy a good chance for shopping.,

Removing relationship status on facebook

2009-02-23T00:38:00.005+01:00

Dear Facebook,I have mailed you three times about this (and other numerous points..)When people remove their relationship status and don't tick the box "do not post a news feed when i remove information from my profile", it shows up like thisObviously and most commonly, people remove their status as they don't know if they feel comfortable sharing this information and having people asking, but

We just need WIFI and really just want access

2009-02-21T21:06:00.003+01:00

I read an interesting article about the iPhone.I remember being quite excited about the iPhone, but to my "Scandinavian" disappointment, the first one wasn't 3G as was quite early announced. I've never understood why America has been far behind Asia, and Europe when it comes to mobile phone technology, but it's nothing I've contemplated about, nor care to discuss at this point.As expected and

"Seeing", "dating", and the "date"

2009-02-20T17:46:00.003+01:00

I made some linguistic fuss a week ago when my friend Alex and Marcus referred to Christian and I as dating and said that we're not dating but - (casually) seeing each other.They asked what the hell the difference is. Dating for me entails the notion of some kind of a pre-commitment. You're not sure if you want a relationship or its simply too early to judge. Basta!My connotation of the word

An odd animal friendship

2009-02-18T00:43:00.002+01:00

I'm not surprised this could happen, but I'm still incredibly touched by this bond between an elephant and a dog, especially as they didn't grow up together.

3 things I really disdain >_<

2009-02-16T19:40:00.003+01:00

In the past days, all 4 things have happened.I'm very amicable, loving and sweet and I don't have a temper, nor do i ever raise my voice.What really disgusts me:Sinks that are clogged with food leftovers. There is no way I can clean up other people's leftovers unless I wear latex gloves, and even then it is nauseating. Cleaning the sink right after food falls into it, isn't a problem as its "

Nanoparticle 'smart bomb' targets drug delivery to cancer cells

2009-02-15T23:47:00.000+01:00

This is pretty interesting. A plant virus is being used to test delivering drugs to cancer cells!I'm wondering what the cancer foundationin Sweden is spending their time and money researching. I always see campaigns to collect money and this year they have received around 390 million SEK, but barely ever hear about the results. I'll have to keep track of the cancer research in Sweden.Nanoparticle

Guys don't always complain about girls nagging

2009-02-06T00:45:00.002+01:00

I realized, a guy will never care if the girl complains about him being too big.So nag all you like about that.And it goes both ways. I have been very busy and I met someone and am infatuated and silly atm. I haven't had time to sort out my random thoughts yet.Too much to do, too little time.Good night.

Need help with image editing?

2009-01-15T11:15:00.004+01:00

For some reason I haven't been receiving comment notifications, so I removed that setting. I was going through my posted items on facebook and this cracked me up - again :D

The dating game

2009-01-09T23:16:00.005+01:00

My friend Xander pointed out an interesting article called Let’s Not Get to Know Each Other Better about how dating has become uncommon, even unfashionable and that casual sex is not only acceptable but also quite trendy for this generation.First off I think people have a general problem with the expectation of what a date entails. Girls are more likely to have a romantic notion of the actual

About relationships

2009-01-06T02:20:00.004+01:00

If you think, that by removing all factors that complicate your relationship with your loves ones, is a way to "work things out", you're wrong. It will mend things temporarily, but not long term.If you believe just because you love - or better said you're "in love" with someone, they're the right one for you, you're wrong.Love is a process we work on. It's not free, because those who receive love

Google - I love you

2008-12-26T14:52:00.003+01:00

I'm fascinated with Google, I love all these mash up apps and how easy it is to syncronize my Gmail with different calendars, how I can share bookmarks and blogs and links with Google Reader, how I can now txt message Jeff free of charge from Gmail and how I can store my work documents online with google Doc and access them anywhere.I still need to try the video chatting function, but all in all

Regarding the previous post/Google ads

2008-12-24T04:50:00.004+01:00

This is exactly why I added Google Adsense to my blog, to see how relevant the ads would be ;)Ironically enough, no one offers parenting seminars or services ;)I have more to write, but its christmas eve and nearly 5a.m. in Germany, Bonn.Merry christmas for now, here's a christmas greeting from me ;)Merry christmas :D/Jasmin Fischer

Parenting skills - and being a child

2008-12-16T03:07:00.011+01:00

It still puzzles me how our perception is based on the negativity of our emotional experience.Negative emotions are there to prevent us from making the same mistakes again, by inflicting feelings of shame, humiliation so we adjust and interact more adequate to the social norms.We search to find reasoning based on more objective perceptions among others, but when it basically boils down to

New apartment, new job, new chapter?

2008-12-05T11:07:00.004+01:00

So for the couple of past weeks, ever since I got back from LA, I was looking for jobs, packing and planning how my life should look in the near future.I've never liked planning ahead, but I'm thinking of making a 5 year plan. I have so many ideas - some of them need to be realized at some point!I'm really busy getting my room in Sami's apartment done. I will hopefully find time to paint the

Thank you..

2008-11-29T02:38:00.002+01:00

Just a quick note of appreciation to Alessandro, Richard, David for helping me move and managing to get nearly everything over to Sami's within 3 hours and only two cars in two go's and Sami for having me :)I'm in my new room and I feel very comfortable. This feels good :)I will need a bit more help tomorrow. Richard is a sweet heart and offered to help me after playing games all day with his

Buddhism and relationships

2008-11-22T00:17:00.004+01:00

I've started to realize what being a Buddhist really means.I'm capable of making everyone around me happy, but getting attached, which is the one of the main milestones of achieving a balanced and harmonious life, means not getting attached.I'm wondering if anyone, practicing Buddhism for more han 10 years can master a relationship and maintain fulfilled happiness with selfless attachment to

Rapist - to be or not to be?

2008-11-16T19:52:00.004+01:00

I randomly checked articles about the Woodstock 99 festival with 4 women were allegedly raped and the rapists were seemingly cheered by bystanders.I felt sick when I read that. A witness said:"I saw someone push this girl into the mosh pit, a very skinny girl, maybe 90 to 100 pounds," Schneider said. "Then a couple of the guys started taking her clothes off – not so much her top but her bottom.

Regrets

2008-10-18T04:36:00.003+02:00

I beat myself up for making a mistake.Galeb said I should not even refer to myself as giving myself to someone, but I still feel it was a horrible mistake.I've never "given" myslf to someone without getting to know them before. i want them to want me for who ia m, not what i look like. I made this stupid mistake once and its eating me up.It's even worse becase the person doesn't see me for who I

A few words can mean so much

2008-10-13T21:50:00.003+02:00

I met someone truly amazing LA. Two amazing men who I really like.The difference between the two is that I spent time getting to know the one person for about 8 hours before we kissed the first time. We should our ideas about expectations, relationships, aspirations and disappointments. We ended up spending practically every day together for the remaining 10 days of my stay, walking around,

I love Rebtel

2008-10-11T17:12:00.002+02:00

If i love something, I'm a big supporter.Like in the the book Tipping Point, I'm the Maven ;)I've been using Rebtel for at least a year I believe, if not longer. I was sceptical when I signed up, but after comparing prices, it's cheaper if paying for international calls than compared to VoIP or using Skype.If I'm using my macbook, I'll use video chat or Skype, but the quality of Skype free calls

The Irony of it All

2008-10-02T22:39:00.002+02:00

Great.The moral and least promiscuous person, is now perceived as promiscuous due to one lie.Being scared of being misjudged led back to being misjudged.There's Karma Jasmin. You've been a horrid Buddhist lately. You've been emotional and lied because you were scared of detaching yourself from your human cravings of affection.Now I need to rush off to lunch. Poor Andreas will have to hear this

I guess its a vacation

2008-10-01T03:08:00.003+02:00

I've never let go of any of my inhibitions. I've always been extremely controlled throughout my life.Everything is planned into the smallest detail, everyone's disposition is considered and everything is perfectly coordinated.I don't know if not having had a vacation in 2 years has lead to a mental burn out.

The perfect weekend

2008-09-29T19:51:00.003+02:00

Ok, so Friday was weird but fun. We met up with our loooong lost friend Sunny. I didn't see him the last time he was out here, and he told me about the script they just wrote and the story sounds brilliant. So Sunny has been very busy and it sounds great..I don't know if it was worth giving up the band, cause i never heard them play :PHe's also still one of the most gorgeous guys I've seen. I

What really sucks

2008-09-26T21:35:00.004+02:00

Alert!!Personal post. I hate going all emo and publishing how I feel abotu things but because I'm going to have to explain to my friends how my trip was, I figured this is the most efficient way.I come to LA to be with friends and party til we drop, expecting to have fun, maybe finally having my first one night stand, so I prepare myself for that frame of mind. Not to be prude, or conservative,

"White privilege" or why i disdain Sarah Palin..

2008-09-21T14:46:00.002+02:00

So I'm in LA now and I can't remember the show's name, but its a political comedian who invites different people to speak their mind, this time it was a quite liberal group of people, Andrew Sullivan, ex Bush lober, Will I Am, Naomi Klein and the host who's name I don't remember.I'm drunk and jetlagged, but I remember a few valuable points from the show:1. It is the presidents job to protect the

VMAs 08 - sympathy awards?

2008-09-08T20:56:00.003+02:00

Oh lord, I've been away from MTV and the radio too long, but what the hell are the VMAs nowadays??Its as if only crap was produced this entire year but they were forced to have the VMAs..or did I actually enjoy watching this a couple of years back? :DLinkin Park and Slipknot are classified as rock..I can't even remember the others. I hoped the Verve's Love is Noise would show up - and they send

Goodbye freedom of speech, religion and conscience

2008-09-07T23:35:00.003+02:00

I despise how people twist statements around to deter from the actual issue..like accusing Rosie for "hurting" people who lost family and friends during 9/11...l"Homefrown terrorism" is the use, planned use or threatened use, of influential action by a group or individual in furtherance of political or social objectives.

Newborn babies in movies

2008-09-07T11:35:00.002+02:00

I'm watching The Other Boleyn Girl again, which is despite not being historically correct and amazing movie.I started wondering where the newborn babies in movies and TV series come from and googled it.Children of men is the exception but seemingly newborns get casted too if no one among the actors or film crew happens to have a baby at hand. I thought there might be a newborn casting registry

Dog Training - This was inspiring :)

2008-08-31T19:00:00.002+02:00

I've trained dogs for about 18 months on the side of university and wrote a short essay about it in my knowledge management course. I loved Cesar Milan's show and just saw this inspiring TED talk: I like how he explains what a punishment entails - that it does not need to be nasty, painful or scary, but that it is a simple stimulus to reduce the repetition of a bad habit from reoccurring

First post

2008-08-25T23:04:00.003+02:00

Lately I've had some questions that interest me pop up randomly and I forget to write them down, so I thought, maybe its about time I start a blog, write these things down and have people discuss my thoughts and give me feedback.I'm extremely busy, so i barely ever manage to chat to my friends and cram up socializing into my weekends.Hopefully, I'll find not only time to write posts, but also
