Starving in the belly of a whale.

About Me

Originally from Norway. After a few years on the plains of the midwest I ended up moving to Denver. I work for a company small enough that we are able to pick our own destiny and direction. Not having to answer to corporate piss and adhere to rules that simply doesn't make any sense, is an amazing feeling (especially if you have experienced both).

I like to ski and i like photography. I like meeting people i find interesting and that can keep my attention. No ADD but get bored easily.

If it seemed that i pissed you off, i was probably just trying to be funny.

My Interests

I like people that can stand my sarcastic humor. I really like good beer. I have problems with fundamentalists (any kind). I like my weber grill. I like people that don't suck and that don't think i suck either.

I'd like to meet:

someone that can mimmick the sound a of a cat being shaken in a cardboard box better than me.

You want to meet the drivers?

I WILL BE YOUR DRIVER. YES! -- CLICK HERE!

Music:

Not sure if there's a point of starting a list because it wont ever be complete, but here's a few that i really like:

Sufjan Stevens, Josh Rouse, Elliott Smith, Motorpsycho, Tom Waits, Miles Davis, Calexico, Iron & wine, Sigur Ros, David Gray, Gram Parsons, Billie Holiday, Uncle Tupelo, kids screaming, Posh Spice, Radiohead, vacuum cleaner,

Movies:

Movielicious! Coen brothers are usually doing a fine job. So does paul thomas anderson. Wes anderson's got my vote.

Television:

Once i watched a 'the biggest loser' marathon and i lost 4 ounces. The power of television.

Books:

More of a magazine guy....man that makes me sound very...ooh..what's the word....

Ehh..i do like to read. Just not that many books that have tickled my fancy so to speak. I think i just need someone to tell me to go get a specific book and read it, and i will.

Heroes:

Superman. He wasnt just great. He was super. Sucked at horse riding though.

Ooooo......Too soon??
