SO THIS IS DENMARK!

Denmark is a flat country. Small trees and bushes are clinging to the earth, not to give the wind any point of vantage. You got no such thing as "Windstille!" Flora and fauna is holding on for dear life, the wind is forever blowing. If you happen to experience a storm, you can picture Thor, the god of thunder. In the Northern mythology everything comes down to Ragnarök, the Final Battle between the Gods and the Frostgiants. Loki is going to set Fenris, the Great Wolf, free. He will swallow the moon. The Midgard-Snake will strangle the earth and the rainbow bridge will shatter. The warriors of Vallhalla are going to fight their final battle. It´s the end of the world, as we know it.
Very much R.E.M., isn´t it?
I FEEL FINE!
Small wonder, we Northerners are such an optimistic bunch, huh? .....a little brainstorming!
Why did you ask this question? WHY?
Still remember a famous poster from the 70´s. There´s this soldier, throwing away his gun, being hit by a bullet. Famous last words...WHY?
Now what?
Did you ever notice, how people talk about things? It just depends WHAT they are taking about. It´s the weather, day-to-day living., what kind of job, relationSHIPS (there the sea again!), did you see the daily-talk yesterday (every house/hut here has a satelite dish here), how expensive Denmark is...just how trivial can you get? Oh no, here it comes again...
BORED BEYOND BELIEF!
Is it a symptom of this new Millennium of ours?
