Yeah, 17th of May. As you're reading this you suddenly realise you've now questioned your self as to what day of the month it is. Its the 19th of June. But where were you on the 17th of May? What did you do? I was at work on Transocean Spitsbergen eating ice creams and hot dogs and singing with all of the crew on board.
Kinda crazy to be celebrating something out at sea. I mean apart from the fact you're alive and that at some point you will go home. The 17th of May in Norway is a big deal. It the national day. Its like the day Mandela was voted into office, but every year. Again and again and again. Nationalism hey? I think this something maybe Norway should lay low on for a while. Just a quick one here, who was the last dude you heard about that was stoked on nationalism in Norway? OH! Who? That dude. Yeah.
Here's a little tip to Norway, next year on the 17th of May, instead of doing anything, just chill. I mean do what ever you want, eat the hot dogs and ice creams and wear the viking costumes, personally I would really think out the box and something completely new. Like get a little "recreational" and do some speed. Think about it, when was the last time you celebrated anything by doing class-A narcotics? Yeah, exactly. Change the name, I thought the combination of crystalised methamphetamine usage and "Quickly Day" had a pleasant ring to it. Or "Sweaty Day" or "Oh-My-God-I-Cant-Stop-Eating-The-Inside-Of-My-Face Day". Whatever, you get what I'm saying. Nationalistic ain't the coolest thing to be in Norway right now. Here some pictures I forgot to post on the 17th of May. More goodies coming soon. N.
