Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com
Welcome to MY space on MySpace!I am an "old" Viking chieftain from a small kingdom at the end of a fjord in western Norway; The kingdom of Njardar - also known as Gudvangen = "The field of the gods by the water" part of the Unesco World Heritage Site Naeroy Fjord. Here I live in a "modern" house a couple of miles from a place we hope one day will become a Viking trading town (see one of my other profiles /vikingvillage).
Every year (since 2003) we invite Vikings from all over the world to join us for a three day celebration of a Viking trading market and Nordic summer games. Next year it will be 14th - 20th of July. Welcome - as a Viking - or as a spectator! Submit to our apply form at Viking Valley non-vikings do not need to apply - just come! - look at the official vikingvalley website for accomodations.
Now I am here on MySpace, and it might have some yet unknown meaning besides meeting new friends... I am definately not shy or antisocial, so please get in touch if you like!
Here is a few facts on me: I was born in Oslo, Norway, April 26th, 1954 I am not an educated man. Rather an autodidact Viking historian. I chose a "free" life instead of traditional education... dont ask if I regret it - I won't know what to answer. I was a hippie through the end of the 60's until mid 70's - And a flippin' Jesus-freak since 1972. Worked as a Viking full time (since my divorce -94). Been married once (77-94) and had one long lasting relationship since (96-2001). Then an ongoing lonely period broken up by a lovely relationship with Jamie the Viking queen I met here on myspace in March last year. Waiting in limbo at the moment... It's not cool to be on my own.
I have been living in Gudvangen, a small valley community between high mountains, since 1996 - you should really see the place!!! In the middle of nowhere and unbelievably beautiful - being almost the size of a big city it contains 70 people!
I also lived in Stamford Bridge, York, paralell to Gudvangen for 4 1/2 very happy years 96-2001. I love Yorkshire and go there at least once a year!
I have nine fantastic kids: Miriam, Irelin and Camilla, and Manners, Jay (RIP), Gina, Sarina, Zye and "not so little" princess Aiyana! I have loads of friends which I love very much, and that's probably why I am here... because I know the value of friends - and I want more of them! My best friend at the moment is my dog, a Border Collie called Snorre.
I am the Chieftain of Njardar Vikings - a lovely group of close to 150 viking re-enactors between 5 and 70. Have myself been a Viking re-enactor (trader - not fighter) for 12 years. I am proud of having Worked with Jorvik Viking Festival, York, since 1996 And I am the king of The Kingdom of Njardar :-) lol
The love of my life is: children - the more the merrier! Too bad screwed people ruin the value of children's friendships with adults, even their own dads. Lately even mums are questioned. Like the nazi's tried to occupy Viking - perverts, and moralists, try to kill innocense. Fight it with your life!
I am not too money orientated - in fact I havent had what people call "a desent job" or income since 1996, so I am no "good deal" for a lady...but my life has been great! In 53 years I have NEVER been hungry.
By the way, I did have a life before 1996 also, but that's history now, and that's how it is - change of direction should be done a few times in life. Mine is on the verge of changing dramatically again...
See some more of my life on Viking Valley ...or on my other MS-profiles.
A hint: When you get lots of new friends on MySpace - be careful not to forget your old friends! They will NEVER be less important! And don't take all of these new friendships too seriously - that might wear you out! Don't expect too much from them either, that will wear them out.
Be my guest in visiting my other profiles as well - my home - Gudvangen and the rest. You'll find them among my top friends.
