Golden Gate.

So we went to the Golden Gate bridge, it took like 40 mins to go there, switchin buses n shit. But finally we got there and then it was cold as fuck and so foggy you couldnt see over to the other side... Whatevs, we walked over the bridge and took some nice photos. When we came over the sun started to shine through all this fog so then it was really beautiful. Then got back to town, went to the OK studio, picked up my camera and shopped some food. Bought a bottle of wine and some red stripe beer. Took some beers and just chilled tonight. I wanna go out party, hate not being 21... Fuck. Time to sleep now though.

Gothenburg.

I miss gothenbug a little. Even if its superrad here all the time i miss my hometown! Haha, i know its corny and all that but whatever... Were supposed to get my camera at the studio this morning and go to a skatesession but i decided to take a little biketour over the goldengate bridge instead, so ive just ate my breakfast and now im heading out in the sunny California. Laters~

Muni.

Day started kinda rad, got a bank account at bank of america. Then i took the muni, which is the San Francisco tramsystem back to the office. Got in like 2 hours late but it was ok cuz i took a short lunch and worked ove some. Bought some muffins like a "shamegift" to the people at the office, it was appreciated and my two hours late was nothing anymore. Anyway Jason (my CEO) got this box this morning which contained 6 skateboards, 2 hoodies, like 3 t-shirts and 4 books. That spoiled man has it way to good, getting al that freestuff. I got a board and a pair of wheels though, supersweet.

So after that i worked together with this girl Maddy at the office, went pretty good, made some sweet stuff today, ill show you someday when its not like classified n shit. Will put up pics on the big package tomorrow though, because now i really gotta sleep. Heres some pics of my new clothes and some other random stuff i made.















Aug 20, 2008

The humans are dead.

So im in my bed and got the worst "träningsvärk" ever. My legs are killing med, my torso aswell... It feels good though, feels good that i cant move and definitely i cant rise from the bed. Had a really nice day at work. Made some cool stuff and met some cool people. Got some new clothes that i ordered aswell, superstoked about all the cheap streetwear here. Supernice. Otherwise nothing else special happened on this sunny day in San Francisco, California.

Robbed.

What can i say. Today i got robbed, by a dude with a gun. I know it sounds worse then it is. Well, this is how it was. After work i went to this skatespot called 3rd & Army which is like 10 minutes from where i work. Anyway, i went down there and on the way i stopped at a small shop and bought some food that i was gonna bring home later. I came to the spot, sessioned for like 1 hour and then i saw a dude that had my shoppingbag and was about to walk away.

I skated over there and was all like "Dude what the fuck, thats my bag. Give it back." Then he just turned around, pulled up some if hes t-shirt and there was a black nine millimeter handgun. I just though that it wasnt worth it. So i just got away from there and continued my session. The thing is that this place is kinda ghetto. Now i know im not gonna be there after like 8'oklock on the night. Felt kinda wierd, like the first time ive really seen a gun in another hand then a police. Well well, thats life in San Francisco. Ill be good mum and dad, i promise. Time to sleep now, important meeting with client tomorrow.

MOMASF

So from one artform to another, hip hop yesterday, artmuseum today.

Woke up at 11am and watched some family guy and sent some mail. Then the clock ended up being like 3.30. I went up for some breakfust and then got my "kulturkärring" outfit on and wen to see the Museum of modern art in San Francisco. Ive been reading some about Dalí lately and some of his pictures are there. Kinda cool with so much random artwork in one building. Some make sense and some of em feels just like random shit. Guess its all about what youre into though. I mean im all about abstract stuff, but when you take a lightbulb, paint in in black, attach it to a center of a canvas and calls it "lights out" and then sells it for like 10mill. Thats kinda wierd. Well, had fun atleast, walking around there all by myself. Really enjoy going around town myself. You get so much more time to think about stuff and see stuff you usually dont. Also bought a book about colors, how people react to different shapes and such, i love that kinda shit. Time to sleep now, a big week at work this one. So stoked.












Aug 17, 2008

Rock the bells.

So today i were at Rock the Bells. This shit was off the hook. Met up with this dude that got us really good seats and the day was probably the sickest in my life. Got damn like everyone was spitting their shit like there was no tomorrow. Will write more about this tomorrow, when im going down to do my laundry. Right now, peace. And J-Dilla says hi!




Aug 15, 2008

Ol' English.

So in US, everything is big. Like this beer for example, Old English. Its about 130cl, costs 2,50$ and has a alcohol of 7,5%. So you can get drunk here for about 15SEK. It's pretty sick. Otherwise i did a small motion today, worked with some new clientstuff. Continued working with the one i did yesterday and made some small random stuff. So tired today, so im gonna sleep early. By the way, i just love having a job that i think is real fun. G'night.




Aug 14, 2008

It's all hood.

Second day at the office, recorded my voice to some commercial just because i have this sweet "russian accent" as they say, haha. Gnarly shit, cool ideas and After Effects is whats going right now. Ate a double cheeseburger at some nice little place right beneath they baybridge and went back to the studio to do some motionwork. Its fun that my CEO is so stoked about doing like some animation/motion to like eveything.

Got home, Emelie made some pasta and i went out skating. Skated om market st. all the way from Civic station down to Embarcadero, its kinda far, took like 20 minutes with the board. Well well, got to this spot where all these guys were drinking Gin n Juice mixing it in their mouth, took one zip of the gin and then one of the juice and mixed it, looks sketchy. Anyway i got home and went down to the gym we have on first floor. Ran for like 15 minutes and lifted some weights, haha. The gym was kinda small though, that sucks a little. Anyway, got back, took a shower and now im laying here in my 4 inch bed watching this sketchy policemovie. Some new pics of my apartment and the studio aswell, peace.

Waking up.

You know who you are. Its like a secret. Randomly.
Waking up in S.F. is like the best. At 7.45 my alarm on iTunes starts to play some nice music. This morning it was Provider by N.E.R.D, (a nice way to wake up by the way). Well, i just snooze like 10 minutes and get up of my bed, just get some shorts on and a t-shirt. Outside you hear like some cars and maybe some ambulance or a firetruck passing by. I go to the window, drag up the curtains and look out. Out from our seventhfloor view, out over S.F., i can see the legendary "toothpick" building from here and hopefully ill see the sun rising over some of the skyscrapers here. Otherwise ill just see fog and then i know its really cold outside. You know, like "jacket" cold, and that sucks a little.

Anyway i go out in the kitchen, open our kinda small but deep and wide as hell fridge and grab the half gallon milk thats in there. Pour up some in a nicelooking bowl from IKEA and just add some Cap'n Crunch. After that just brush my teeth, wash off my face and head down to our lobby, doing the "wassup" nod to the securityguard that sits there like 24/7 and head out on the street. It smells like Greece when you get out here, specialy on the mornings. This weird "hot" smell mixed with coffee from starbucks and the piss from all the bums that begging for your money when you get closer to Powell Station. I saw a guy yesterday held this sign that said "My family has been kidnapped by ninjas, give me a dollar". So lame... Well i just head on the "T" train to Sunnydale and jumps off after like 15mins and head to my office.

More about my new apartment and some pics tomorrow. Got my comp back today aswell, HD was intact, fuck yeah! Its sweetalicious, until then. Holla~





Aug 8, 2008

I have a sad mac.

Yesterday my mac died. That sucks...

Now im stuck with sitting small periods on Emelies instead. Sucks kinda bad. Im just hoping that they will not erase my whole HD... Because that would suck sooo bad, everything ive done n stuff. Well well, gotta keep the mood up, tomorrow we move in in our new apartment and on monday i start my new job, kinda stoked. Time to watch a movie now, peace!

Aug 7, 2008

Apartment.

Hell yeah. We got ourself an apartment.
I know it was a little impulsive and maybe a bit expensive but the good thing is that the deposit was so low and we can move in this saturday. The problem is that we dont have any beds to sleep in... Will check craigslist and maybe take a quick tour to IKEA to buy like a madrass or something so it will be all good. The place is soo nice, like 10 minutes with the train for me to my studio and like 5 minutes walk to where Emelie is gonna work. Two separate rooms, one newly renovated kitchen with like a small bar where we can eat n stuff and the best. We are living like 5 minutes walk from Union Square, which is like the biggest shopping area in whole S.F. plus we have our own gym at the mainfloor, a little rooftopfloor with a small barbecue and some nice chairs so you can make some food and just listen to the sounds of this wonderful town. I mean its like in the middle of everything, gah, i am so stoked about getting this place on saturday.

Was out skating at the skatepark today aswell, was kinda the wierdest park ive seen. And like no curbs or manualpads... How will i survive? I did crazy fs 180's in the miniramp though, hell yeah! Then came home to the studio, brainstormed on some ideas and ate some sushi at this real nice place. Oh yeah!










Aug 5, 2008

So Stoked.

Yeah, today was a long day. Woke up way to early because of the jetlag and like read my RSS. Then we went up, ate some breakfast and met the rest of the co-workers here at OK. After that we basicly just went in to town with the train and checked out the social security office. That was probably the sickest place ive been in a long time. Its like all these crack and heroin addicts waiting in a long line trying to scam the govermant on money, so rad. Anyway we got our notes and all that so we are getting a social security number in like 4 weeks, and that kinda sucks just because you need that number for like everything here. We cant buy a phone until we have one. Or we can buy what Jason calls a "ghettophone" that i can buy at like Wal Mart or sumthin but i want some Blackberry or the iPhone.

Superpsyched about going around in the city today, just seing it all. Its not so small as i imagined, i mean the buildings is not as high as in N.Y. but we just walked on the main street called like Market street and we were in all theese nice sneakerstores and in the middle of the street they had this massive mall, it was sick. Cant remember the name now though. Well we got back to the studio and been sitting here since. We went out photographing some but other then that we ust looked up some apartments on craigslist and chilled. Yeah, ate some really nice sushi aswell. Time to sleep now, Jason hit me up with a new board so were going skateboarding at like 7.30 tomorrow. So stoked.

Jetlag.

Ah, fucking jetlag, cant sleep at all. Jason fixed this nice blownup bed for me that i was sleeping on, but i think it is some kinda hole in it because i just woke up in the ground for like 10 mins ago... Damn, should really get some sleep.

San Francisco.

Alrighty, been awake for like 36 hours now but im finally here. This is crazy, and i mean like wild crazy. Jason (my CEO) picked me and Emelie up at the airport and we went to the studio to leave our bags. He had fixed up a small bed and some sheets on the couch so we can sleep here tonight and like tomorrow night. Anyway we was hungry as fuck so he drove us til some nice soulfood place that had connections with like Dave Chapelle n shit. Anyway we ordered some fried catfish and fried chicken. With some cornbread and mac'n'cheese. God damn it was good. After that we would go home and Jason found out the hard way that hes car wasnt registred for the smoganalysis or something. Anyway the cops pulled us over and gave him a little ticket. It was all good, the officer was nice n all. It was quiet fun because the cop though we was cruisin around for some drugs just because this soul food place was in the "bad" area of town, haha. Well anyway i just got described for me that there is more place to buy weed legaly here in S.F. then it is to buy a Big Mac. This whole franchise shit isnt so big here in CA then rest in the US. I will probably love it here, it feels like im in a movie or something, the golden gate bridge with it lights, all the wierd smells and people. Ah, it was a good first 5 hours in US. Time to sleep now. Btw, the place we ate at called Farmer Brown, nice dirty south food!

New York.

Primetime (New York New York)
That's the place where the soldiers die (New York New York)
That's the ghetto nigga's feelings (New York New York)
That's the niggas that multiply (New York New York)

Get your Mac, get your gat, head for 95
Stop, pick up your dogs, tell em, "Let's ride"
Throw in some du-op shit, lean in your car
Knowing you'll hear some new O.C. or Gang Starr
It ain't to far once you into VA
Fuck with your high-beams and see who's going your way
Keep your steez, so the man won't trap you
Now leadin the convoy to the Big Apple!


Sitting on Newark Airport now. 8 hours on the plane here made me pretty tired. Watched Iron Man and Superhero movie though. Cant really say that the second one was one of the best movies ive seen... Well well, time to roll now. Ill blog when i get to San Fran. Peace~

Sesame Street G's



Should probably be sleeping but i paid 4 hours internet so i use it to the full! Gotta love this M.O.P song with the Ernie n Bert.

Did you say San Francisco?

Ok, i got the worst hungover from yesterday and today i packed my bags and took the train to Stockholm. Now sitting with Emelie on Arlanda waiting like 5 more hours til our plane departs. This is just so sick! Should be sleepin but im facebooking and watching skatemovies instead. Soon im in the country of my dreams, god bless America. HAHA!
