First update!

Oh hai. It's been a whole day since I posted my introductional post, and I'm already back again. There's a few reasons for this. First off, I want to see what it looks like when posting another entry. At first I thought it was gonna "overrule" the first post (That make sense?), but then I realised that'd be stupid. So to prove to myself that everything can be explained with logical sense, I'm posting something!
Also it's friday afternoon now. There's nothing on the schedule for the rest of the day, so I thought why not waste a little time writing about something that no one's ever gonna read or even care about! Actually, I do hope that someone is actually going to read this. Obviously, I'm gonna read it myself to check for spelling mistakes and that sorta stuff (Yes, I'm elitist that way). I know how annoying it can be to read something full of errors, so I r gonna avoid that (See what I did there?)
I don't know, sitting down once in a while and just write whatever comes into your mind can be extremely, fun? Organizing the inside of your brain is a tricky test.
Also, when I wrote my first post yesterday, I was listening to some awesome tracks by Breaking Benjamin, which really kept the blood flowing and the inputs just kept on coming. Now obviously, everything BB releases is up there in quality with cake and so on, but listening to these acoustic performances really is a thrilling and indeed a very satisfying experience. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm gonna rephrase. GOOGLE BREAKING BENJAMIN. No seriously. Do it.

Right, that's the introduction to the first post after the introductional post. Now here's the actual content!
Last time I mentioned Duncor, a wicked americanguy from wcradio.com. On his weekly show with Cadwallion, they always start out by talking about what they've been up to for the past week. Usually, there ain't a whole lot to report (Which is kinda the funny part), but sometimes they actually have something useful to say. I'm gonna try do the same thing.

A couple of days ago, I picked up the first season of Battlestar Galactica. This is a science fiction series, which takes place in a universe far, far away from here. Actually, I've only watched 1 episode so I have no idea about that, but it makes me look clever. Having watched Firefly a couple of weeks ago, I have to say this is a pretty equal experience. Firefly was a somewhat older series, where as this one is relatively new. This is quite easy to spot, which I like. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the nostalgic, but watching movies featuring modern technology is just WAY more exciting than some old shit put together in the 60's. Obviously this is not the way it works, I'm just making my point clear to everyone (Or no one as it probably is =[.)
So anyway back on track. Battlestar Galactica is an awkward experience. There's no real introduction to any of the characters or anything. You just get thrown out there and have to figure it all out by yourself. I hate doing this. Sure, it adds something to the experience that you've gotta be aware of what's going on, but I still get frustrated. I like SOME sort of introduction. Just not like.. whatever.
Also, through the whole first episode I didn't spot even ONE guy laughing, smiling or doing anything in that way. Actually there was this really weird chick who did, I think. But I'm also pretty sure she's one of the bad guys so screw her.
Ahem anyway it's looking pretty good thus far, but I seriously hope it's gonna lighten up in some way, otherwise I'm gonna give up on it pretty quickly I think. So far, I haven't had that feeling of exciment I had with House MD, The first season of Lost, Dexter, first season of Heroes etc yet. I don't know, we'll see. People say that the first episode of every series is pure introduction, but where's the fun in that. I want more. MOAR. More on this topic next time, unless I just forget about and let it fade away into the mist which, frankly speaking, is entirely possible.

So that's about it for now. I guess this post belonged more in the "movie" sorta section than anything really. See, organizing stuff really helps you.. organize!
Stay tuned.

Introducing the element of all things random.

Hello people of the world. This afternoon while sitting around, I thought of the opportunity of starting a blog. See, many things pop into my head from time to time and I thought I might visualize these in virtual pixels. Inspired by the one and only Duncor (wcradio.com), I took the jump.
Now, for all of you Wow Things Considered listeners out there (There's gotta be some!), you know that Duncor has indeed tried to start a blog many times, but failed horribly due to whatever reason. Keeping this in mind, I'm not gonna promise to keep it updated every week, that ain't gonna happen. Instead, I will post whenever I feel like it, and has something constructive to share (cough). Consider it an emo corner. God am I the only one who misses Slanik?

Oh yeah and I'm keeping it english. It's more fun to read, write and think in than any other language I've stumbled across. Also, it's a nice way to practice it I suppose, since honestly, I haven't been talking a whole lot of english recently. Our ventrilo section seems pretty dead, so I thought this would be a nice way to get some somewhat decent practice.

Right so whenever I blog here, I'm gonna introduce some "sections". Remember it's all one big emo-corner, but to keep the whine somewhat organized, I thought this would a nice way to do so. Also bear in mind that this ain't my idea. It's all inspired by wcradio.com - an awesome radio station indeed. If you've never listened to any of the shows, please feel free to do so!
I've been a regular listener over the past, what.. 3 years? It's a station of pure win and awesome. Though you probably wanna want to be in to World of Warcraft in order to enjoy it to the fullest.

So back to the previously mentioned sections! I haven't planned a whole lot, but I'm gonna try to attach everyhing to this:

- Music. I listen to A LOT of music, I'm usually into melodic death metal or general heavy rock, though I lately have turned to the more "happy" side. I know, I'm not sure what's gotten into me either. Anyway, that's one section. http://www.last.fm/user/Applesnow

- Movies/series. I'm a big fan of movies/series and try to keep updated on most of the new stuff. Has to be said though, I also enjoy old classics. Over the last couple of months, I've been spending a lot of time watching series such as House MD, Firefly and so on. There's a fair bit to be said here, so I guess that's gonna be a regular section as well.

- World of Warcraft. YES I AM A GEEK. I admitted it, alright? I've been playing WoW for almost 4 years now and continue to do so. I am part of a big raiding guild, and have been so for a long time. I guess this section might get a bit, if not majorly, geeky. There is nothing to do about that. I once tried to write a paper about WoW so that "normal" people would understand just parts of it. It was a straight pain in the arse. So anyway, there's a lot to be said here, and I'm gonna keep updating about everything I do, whenever something interesting pops up. A solid section right there I should say.

- Other hobbies/stuff. Obviously I have a life outside of my roo... wait. Hm. Anyway, occasionally I do other stuff in life too, whenever I feel like it. Maybe. At some point(tm). This is more like a "whatever doesn't fit in any other category goes here sorta section". You never know what might pop up right?

So I guess for now that's the sections I'm keeping it in. If something awesome pops up, I might expand it even further. No guarentees though.

So that's the general introduction to the fuzz. So wait, who am I? If you're reading this, my best guess would be that you've been stalking me on Facebook, which eventually would've let you to this very site! If that actually be the case, you probably know very well who I am. Anyway, my name is Morten. I'm 17. Live with my family and a lazy cat. I spend too much time playing computer and whenever I'm not, I play the occasional football. Admittedly, I'm not all that interesting in sharing stuff about my personal life. If that's the reason you're reading this, STOP READING ALREADY KK?

Last word in this major introductional post of fail (Confirm/deny?) is gonna be a favourite quote of mine: "So, I heard you like MUDKIPZ?!". If you have no clue what that means, my guess would be that you're never gonna find out. Oh wait, they invented that new modern Google thingy. Oh well...
