what does phenomenological means ? we dont know really. This blog will be part of a higher project meant to find that out. Accidently, as a side effect, it might aslo be entertaining. But expect to be bored.

The van is like a bubble. It creates a space around you that isolates and protects you from the outside world but you can see through it, its transparent, there are windows. You..re surrounded by very close walls and roof, its like a small bedroom or an hattick in some way. The van is like the best bedroom or attick. It's a moving bedroom with windows that transports you to different places. Everytime you go out you are in a different place. Its the opposite of doing nothing. Its impossible to do nothing when you are in the van because even if you slept, still you have been moving for hundred of kilometers. and that..s always something. Ok so the van is like a bubble. Except that in a bubble, a soap bubble for exemple, if you create a hole in it then the all thing disappears. But we can open the windows and the van doesn..t just vanish. Wouldn+t it be awesome if it the van would just vanish ? but ok the metaphore has its limits. Still vans and bubbles share some caracteristics. Vans and bubbles share phenomenological caracteristics.
Everytime I use this word correctly I win 50 points. Everytime people pronounce it correctly they win 150 points.
Its awesome.
I had forgotten how it had all started with this word "awesome" that we now use for every situation regardless of the time of day. Henrik reminded me the story yesterday. We were in Texas at some barbecue and there were 2 dogs, one big and one small, hanging out there, and a guy said "wouldn..t it be AWESOME if the small dog started to fuck the big dog ? it would be awesome"
Since then we want everything to feel like this. That..s what awesome means. Awesome is a feeling you get when you see a small dog fucking a big dog. And you want everything in your life to feel like this. If possible.

Fredrik separated his big room in 2 different parts, one studio-computer-bedroom part and one living room-table-coach-Tv part. He made it by putting a big bookshelf in the middle of the room, perpendiculary to the walls. The thing is the bookshelf doesn..t go all the way up to the roof so you can see that there is no real wall there, you can see its a bookshelf meant to be a wall. And usually a bookshelf lean against a wall, there..s a wall behind bookshelves normaly. But not here, and for some reason, you get this insecure feeling like the thing can fall off on you. Like for exemple if someone on the other side of the bookshelf start to lean on it or something and then it will fall over. If it falls it will crash everything that is on the sofa under 500 kg of books and wood frames. But the amazing thing is that, on the other side of the bookshelf, instead of having the back of the bookshelf, like a flat wood back panel, there is : an other bookshelf. Books again. So its 2 bookshelves back to back to eachother. So its not possible that somebody will lean on the back side of the first bookshelf I talk about, because, against this back side there..s an other bookshelf full with books and nobody never lean on books. Or very seldomly. So when you sleep on that coach, it feels like you could get smashed by the bookshelf but you know that its not possible. Still it "feels" like it. Its not unpleasant to get the visual experience of being in danger while knowing you..re safe. Its like virtual reality in reality.
