Musings of a Diamond Geezer

When did you come here? When did you realize that you'd never be free? Live life to the fullest, disregard the hype, love thy neighbour (and perhaps undress him/her also). Ps. "Morals are for little people" - Jenny Holzer (that old adage - or perhaps rather truism - as featured in a collage of such in her LED-art work piece, displayed, among other places, on the cornice of the Northern Boulevard main entrance to the Fornebu-complexes (in Oslo) of the Telenor mega-corporation of Norway).

Name:
Location: Norway

30-something, cosmopolitan, internationalist, Norwegian somewhat conscious-ridden hedonist; torch-bearer for reasonable freedom of speech, equal opportunity, John Rawls + fashionistas everywhere. Perfectionist, style- & esthetics-loving risk-seeker; living on the edge, with a vengeance. Always looking for the highest abstract of truth, being a bon vivant free-thinker and a flaneur par excellence. Soul member of no social circle, organisation or political party - a true independent. Last, but not least: Empathetic, open-minded, relations-focused, inertia-exploring, creative, red wine-loving bourgeois rebel. Also very modest and unassuming... Currently engaged in fleshing out a potential new direction in life, while seeking refuge/finding solace in and/or contemplating complacency in line with (choose your preferred alternative) the line "30 is the new 20", from Jay-Z's excellent new album, "Kingdom Come".

Guidelines for comments on this blog

As I haven't previously stated any guidelines about the use of language in comments, here they are:

This blog is mostly in English, although some posts are in Norwegian, as they deal strictly with Norwegian issues that no foreigner living abroad could possibly have the first clue about understanding - no common reference points.

As for myself, I comment in both Norwegian and English-language blogs. I hope to draw visitors from both camps to this blog, with time's passing.

* I strongly suggest that all comments to English-language posts from yours truly, are responded to in English - even if you are a Norwegian-speaking resident of Norway.

As for the posts from yours truly posted in Norwegian, I will welcome comments in both languages. This is because there are immigrants living in Norway, or people learning Norwegian abroad, who can read and understand Norwegian texts, but who as of yet are more comfortable writing in English.

The two allowed languages so far for comments in this blog, are thus English and Norwegian.


Best regards,
Agile
