my way home

mount warning with the old boy

talk show host

I want to, I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon the surface for
The birds, the birds, the birds

You want me, well fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting with a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

You want me, well, come on and break the door down
You want me, fucking come on and break the door down
I'm ready,
  I'm ready,
    I'm ready,
     I'm ready
        I'm ready

Kiruna is the northernmost city in Sweden, situated in Lapland province, with 18,154 inhabitants in 2005. Archeological findings have shown that the region around Kiruna has been inhabited for at least 6,000 years. Centuries before Kiruna was founded in 1900, the presence of iron ore at Kiirunavaara and Luossavaara had been known by the local Sami population. In 1696,Samuel Mört, a bookkeeper of the Kengis works, wrote on the presence of iron in the two hills. Anders Hacksell mapped the area in 1736 and named the mountains Fredriks berg (Kiirunavaara) and Berget Ulrika Eleonora (Luossavaara), after king Fredrik I and his wife Ulrika Eleonora. Despite the findings of large amounts of ore, no mining was initiated because of the remote location and the harsh climate. Some ore was extracted in the 19th century by extracting it in summer and transporting it in winter, using sleds drawn by reindeer and horses.


Today Iron ore extraction is a key industry in the area, and the town is very dependent on the mining company LKAB. During World War II, large quantities of iron were transported from northern Sweden by rail to the east coast, and further down to be sold to Germany.

Tongue
The tongue is a tough worker. It is made up of groups of muscles and like the heart it is always working. It helps in the mixing process of foods. It binds and contorts itself to form letters. The tongue contains linguinal tonsils that filter out germs. Even when a person sleeps, the tongue is constantly pushing saliva down the throat.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97
 
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. 
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…


I will dispense this advice now. 


Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; 
oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. 
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked…


You’re not as fat as you imagine. 


Don’t worry about the future; 
or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. 
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; 
the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. 


Do one thing everyday that scares you 


Sing 


Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, 
don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. 


Floss 


Don’t waste your time on jealousy; 
sometimes you’re ahead, 
sometimes you’re behind…


the race is long, 
and in the end, it’s only with yourself. 


Remember the compliments you receive,
forget the insults; 
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. 


Keep your old love letters, 
throw away your old bank statements. 


Stretch 


Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…
the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, 
some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. 


Get plenty of calcium. 
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. 


Maybe you’ll marry, 
maybe you won’t, 
maybe you’ll have children,
maybe you won’t, 
maybe you’ll divorce at 40, 
maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…


What ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much 
or berate yourself either – 
your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. 


Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, 
or what other people think of it, 
it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.. 


Dance…
even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. 


Read the directions, 
even if you don’t follow them. 


Do NOT read beauty magazines, 
they will only make you feel ugly. 


Get to know your parents, 
you never know when they’ll be gone for good. 


Be nice to your siblings; 
they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. 


Understand that friends come and go,
but for the precious few you should hold on. 
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. 


Live in New York City once, 
but leave before it makes you hard; 
live in Northern California once, 
but leave before it makes you soft. 


Travel. 


Accept certain inalienable truths, 
prices will rise, 
politicians will philander, 
you too will get old, 
and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. 
Respect your elders. 


Don’t expect anyone else to support you. 
Maybe you have a trust fund, 
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; 
but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, 
or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. 


Be careful whose advice you buy, 
but, 
be patient with those who supply it. 
Advice is a form of nostalgia, 
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth. 


But trust me on the sunscreen…
