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".

On a sad note: Democrat turned Republican

Frak!

An ex of mine, whose name shall remain protected, was once an idealistic campaign manager in Washington - for a US Democrat state senator.

Now, being a lawyer, a former U.S. State Department trainee and a UN General Assembly resolutions negotiator for the U.S., she has turned into a newly registered Republican candidate for her local district.

Oh well, she never did have much of a spine.. Give her some money, and all of a sudden she seems to believe in survival of the fittest (?) Or maybe it's just that she's daddy's girl, and now practices law in her home state - and daddy is an entrepreneur.

Anyhew, just wanted to share my slight frustration - I was hoping to have her as a solid inside-info provider on the US Democrats, come next years elections build-up.

Lost one...

I think US conservatism had some short term gains aligning with religious fanatics. That will come back to haunt them for generations. Young people simply associate conservatism with hating gays.

Regards.
