People like to fish.
I am totally shocked/amused/terrified that some people are paying a lot of money to fish salmon in some rivers and they have to release all the fish they get.
The point of this act is not fishing for the sake of the food, but for some other reason. Fresh air and tranquility apparently. Totally sick.

According to Dagbladet, these are the current occupations that are worth while in Norway.
This information is probably not that surprising. But if you don’t know what to become, these are probably some things to consider. I can probably also list a few professions that don’t pay well.
A stock broker is so useless he does not do anything useful… there are many others that “deserve” to be paid better. No, let the market figure out what to pay. There was really nothing stopping you from getting into the things that paid the real money. It was just your own fault that you did not choose the right things.
Don’t set yourself up for defeat even before you have started. Still some people take many years of education to become writers and artist, or other low paying professions. Some people don’t care that they are not going to make much money.
If people can not confirm to the demands of the system, then let those people be poor. That is the beauty of choice. You can make a deliberate bad choice if you want, but you can not escape the consequence. I like that. Free choice with the full consequence.
It’s over a month since I have had any full sugar Pepsi.
Today I had 0.5 l full sugar Pepsi, the first couple of sips tasted very sweet.
I am going to continue not drinking full sugar things. I am not convinced at all that the things without sugar is really healthier at all. They are often full of other nasty things, it is that just that it is healthier in the way that you don’t get the big belly. But it is probably unhealthy in other ways with all the artificial sweetening. So water is probably the best thing to drink.
Note much happening, and so not much to report. Kinda think it is easier to report something when there is some kind of fighting going on, but it is quiet.
Just costing in, not getting stressed at all. Don’t see any point in going above and beyond at the moment. It will probably toughen up after the summer and then it is good to be ready for that.
Still on the health wagon. Yes, I have had some “coala” now, but just those fake ones, with one kcal. Plan to keep this going, it is kind of easy when you get into the habit. Sure it is tastes good for a minute to stuff your face with ice cream, but it does not take that much effort to not do it also.
This guy rules. He is a hand farter:

I am a bit concerned, today it is really hot and it is supposed to be just the beginning. How hot will it be in a couple of months. Nothing much you can do about it really. If faith descides to cook the humans on this earth it is nothing they can do about it, nothing more than a dog locked in a car that is placed in direct sunlight on a hot day.
I am going to show up at a party in a couple of hours. This is a theme party so this creates a lot of stress in my small brain. But I guess I have to be glad they wanted to invite a sour camel like me at all.
Last if your training program went down the toilet, and you did not get those abs you wanted before the summer. Here’s some tips for ya’all: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7pVmmsuuc5U
I am recovering from the 4 day nasty sickness. It is great to feel healthy again.
In between I am reading a J. D. Rockefeller biography that is rather long, around 680 pages, and that I never can seem to get through. But I am getting close to the end.
As a youth, Rockefeller allegedly said that his two great ambitions were to make $100,000 and to live 100 years.
He died 97 years old, two months short of 98. So you can reach any goals if you are persistent. According to the biography he was very strict with himself, having a special routine every day and very conscious what he ate so he did not upset his stomach. His business was also run very strictly. So all around very strict.
Sick this weekend.
Being sick is not a great way to spend the precious weekend.
Today I saw a guy that was exercising, he was running up the road. When he got to a roundabout he started running out from the side walk and into the road where the cars where driving. He would lose too much time if he went on the sidewalks. So he had to run where the cars where driving. The car that was right behind him used the horn on him.
I am still much off the cola wagon. The only side effect I have noticed is a thumping of the blood vein on the side of my head. I also have noticed a recurrence of slight headache.
It is Wednesday and
I am still off the cola wagon.
Last sip was Sunday, but that was a really small sip. I can’t remember if I drank any or how much cola on Saturday.
There is sometimes a need to boost myself with a cola, but I have resisted. The clue is then to eat something else, or drink some sparkling water.
So does it feel better? When you are high on sugar, it feels great, but then after a while comes the crash when the sugar goes away. Then you have to shoot yourself up again. Off the cola wagon it feel something in between all the time, there is no high, there is no crash, some average feeling all the time. Kind of like a robot has it that does not feel anything.
