OnePlus One - Phone Talk/Love

So I was able to sell my old baby, my XPERIA SP to a man that apparently was going to perform at IEGS! So that was nice, he was a nice person.. who also bought my phone + accessories for my full price.

Today was the first time in a long time that I felt okay, fairly "happy" with life. I mean, I got my phone sold, got some cash back, fixed some papers and tonight I'm meeting up with an old friend from afar. Oh, side note, during Sunday night (22/3) I went to see Chappie in the movies! With Die Antwoord and they're the only reason why I wanted to see that movie because I love Die Antwoord.

Lulz, the reason why I'm writing this is because I want to talk about my new phone, my OnePlus One (OPO). First of all, I am so glad I bought this "back up" case which I bought spontaneously when I realized I had to wait for too long for my screen protector and other cases to arrive. I'm very happy with this flip case even though I've always been against flip cases because they look so impractical, like you have to open a big, fat book in order to get to your phone. Blurgh, anyway, I still think a normal back case is better but I care too much for this phone that I can't afford a single scratch on it so I had to get a more protective case and that's how this flip case came into the picture. It's a blue/turquoise  MOFI case with a steel flip cover, it's really nice and I bought it in Sweden so it took one shipping day, it came so fast and yeah, I'm very satisfied.

On to the actual phone... I am in love. The size of the screen is 5.5 inches, so that plus all the other space makes it a pretty damn big phone. I've used it and I mean... It doesn't matter, you get used to the size but there are moments where you are very conscious of the size, like when I talk on it or putting it in my pocket. My hands are pretty small and my pockets are also small so it happens that I have to actually hold the phone like it's a bigger wallet, which is kind of annoying. But other than that I really like it.

It runs on CyanogenMod (at the moment ;)) and I love all this customization that you can fiddle around with. You can change almost everything to the way you want it. The CPU (processor) makes everything run so fast, I really noticed the speed whenever I wanna download/uninstall an app, everything is done within seconds. I'm on my OPO all the time!!! Not because I do anything special on it but because it's so freaking beautiful to look at. I have set my own wallpaper, icon and themes and it's just soooo beautiful.

So that's my home screen and as you can see by the bottom of the screen are these buttons. I have six, SIX different buttons and I customized them all by adding and rearranging them as I like it. The OPO also has "hard ware" buttons/keys off screen but they are limited to the standard "three" buttons (back, home, menu/whatever). 

Another thing I totally love with the software, Cyanogen, is the music. You can adjust whatever you like to hear, equalizer. I put more bass on the settings and my headphones just busted that bass into my ears I have my own nightclub right in my headphones. I'm listening to music through my OPO because of this. Otherwise I have iTunes on my computer and I listen through my PC but it sounds really flat. 

Another thing I really like with the OPO is the LED notification. It's basically just a blinking dot next to the front camera. Perfect location. I've had "the blinking dot" on my Xperia Neo but it was located on the side of the phone, after that my Xperia SP had this HUGE LED notification, its transparent bar. That phone would be perfect for whoever that sucks at responding quickly to messages since the whole freaking phone would blink. That's a bot too hardcore for me because I am a master at replying fairly quickly.... Because I'm glued to my phone. So going back to the simple dot LED Not. is pretty good for me. It doesn't scream in my face that someone contacted me but it also doesn't hide and let me miss stuff.

So yeah, I've had my phone for a few days now and I am generally very happy with it so far. 

......

I'm not gonna say anything... Just gonna leave this master piece here.

HUGE UPDATE: part 2

Since I moved back home I have also had a period where I hung out on Reddit a lot. That's where I also met this new friend. Alex from Virginia. We started by me posting on a subreddit and then he commented and I replied and then he did and so it all started. We then moved to PM's and then I took it a step further and asked for any social media contact. Snapchat and iMessage it is. Nowadays we chat every day on Snapchat. He also gave me a free copy of Portal. He's nice and a sweet guy!

What else... I have also been chatting a lot with "Murran", that was before though, now I don't do it everyday as I used to. Sebbe is also here, the regular stuff ya kno. I also kind of, started a little "business" with him. Hopefully we'll be able to meet this summer where I can join him in Gothenburg and we'll chillax. We haven't met each other despite knowing each other since last summer.

I met Malin during Saturday. It was the first time in forever. We haven't really spoken or hung out since autumn, nope, we never met during Christmas when I was at home. We went shopping, or she did most of it, I didn't buy anything, just a necklace and then we went to get free selfie sticks!! So we just talked as we shopped and updated each other on our lives.

The same day I went clubbing and in Kristall we met Chris and Kennedy! I haven't met Chris since IEGS and Kennedy since 2012. Kennedy wanted to chat and hang with me alone... Ugh, no... Not this again. After Kristall closed me and my girls went to Donken nearby and stood outside, what we didn't know at the time was that Mr. "Wille" Viking Hahne was standing really close to us, maybe a meter away and when Diana dropped her lip balm cap and he picked it up we started talking. He was like "do you speak Russian?". He understood what Diana and Kammie said a bit. We all talked a bit with him but it ended up with only me talking to him. So yeah, I had a personal chat with a politically active person, and not with any party but with SD. I joked about him being a "pure viking", that's when he talked about his name and he had an actual necklace with this viking motive. Damn.

He had been to Kristall, he said, but I never saw him there. He had this blinking device which I never asked about but I assume it's some kind of protecting thing... In case he's attacked? He was kind of "rigid" but still pretty open. We also shook hands when we introduced each other. I'm still baffled that I met him and never realized his role at the moment until later. It was cool.

OnePlus One, 1+

Yeah, you heard me. I got an invite from Murran! When I went to their website I found out that you could buy this phone on Tuesdays! Without invitations! That's pretty stupid because it's not as exclusive anymore!!! All this hype and excitement about invitations and now it's all ruined with this Tuesday shit?!!!

Anyway, I didn't believe my eyes when I got the invitation. It was love at first sight when I first found out about the 1+ and it was no doubt that if I'd ever get the chance, I'd take it. And I did. Murran posted on fb about having 2 invitations and I quickly asked if I could have one. So yeah, I'm super excited and of course I got the 64 Gb black one.

Since my phone is rooted and flashed with a custom ROM, Cyanogen 11 (CM11), that means I have to go back to stock ROM in order to sell my phone. Urgh... So I gotta wipe my phone and go back to Android 4.3.

HUGE UPDATE: the past weeks since I moved back!

The past weeks have been a blur now that I look back. I haven't done any proper updates since the INNA concert, that was also when I recently moved back home.

Why did I move back home? Honestly, there's so many factors, personal and private once that I can't tell. Let's just shortly describe it that I was freaking traumatized. A lot of things happened and I don't really want to go back there. I am way more healthy now and Jkpg is probably going to be put as an end of a chapter of my life. 

ART

As noted in the previous post I've started to draw. I haven't really talked about how it all started, except I do that on my Tumblr: Creepyism1. In the beginning I experimented with scribbles and watercolor, but especially scribbles. I drew on an A4 sketchbook which was way too big and the art just came out really ugly in my opinion. It also felt like I was wasting paper, especially on such a beautiful sketchbook (which I bought in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam). So I realized I sucked and tried doing any random scribble on note sized paper. The first drawing I did was on Walter White from Breaking Bad. 

Keep in mind that I've never had any lessons or practiced scribbling or drawing at all. I did this one really quick and it came out so nice. Before doing this piece I liked drawing things right from my imagination but I obviously didn't have the skills to draw that well so I tried doing this "reality" drawing, which meant I had a picture and "copied" it down with my own drawing. I was damn proud of this Walter White piece. The first person to see this was my little brother and he saw immediately what it was. He wanted me to draw his idol and told me to start selling art and at that point I realized I really, 100%, had something going on. 

If you look at my Instagram now (click) you'll see all my works, from all the water color pieces to what I draw now. You can almost see where I started taking my drawing skills seriously and that's when I really put more effort into my works. I was the "lost artist, I did different art, water color and doodle art but I've always been interested in scribbles because it's rather quick and don't require too much detail (which is good and bad), or it depends on your style, but I am quite impatient with everything in life and the same for art. I work in bursts of energy, anyway I'm drifting off... What I'm trying to say is that I discovered my hidden skill with scribbles. Scribbles is such a nice and easy way to make rather good shadowing and such to make things look more realistic. 

So as I kept drawing everything just naturally blended into my own style. I started doing scribbles that were "empty", not much shadowing and such and my later works are filled with it, filled with scribbles. 

See the difference between this "clown" and Walter White? I actually did this clown right out of my imagination while a lot of my other pieces have a picture I looked at. I guess I'm dull that way... I hope I'll be good enough to use my own ideas and put them into beautiful pieces on paper in the future. But for now I'm in the newbie stage and I think it's best for me to draw from pictures so that I can practice shadowing and such. 

You know, I've never felt so lost as I've been, don't get me wrong, I still am really lost in my mind but finding this hobby really fills my soul with purpose. Somehow I feel a little better today than I did, let's say three weeks ago. I tried, I reached out but I couldn't find anyone and I realized that I will never give a shit about anyone but myself. Art has filled about 50% of that emptiness I felt. I knew I had a creative skill and I am so grateful for being lost in the sense that I found this hobby. 

The crazy thing is that I started drawing seriously at around 2nd March. Yeah, two weeks now, I've done these pieces with only 2 weeks of practice.

hey, wow, I suck

Well hello there. I have been lacking with the updates. What can I update about? First of all, I've moved back home to Stockholm so a new chapter has begun.

I have partied.. Last week we celebrated Diana's mums bd which we afterwards went clubbing. Saumans mum surprised us all by letting her go out with us. I've also started focusing more on art!

I do scribble art and have started a new Instagram for that. I've been having this Instagram for a couple of months now but it's NOW that I kind of realize that I wanna post some of my art works. Right now, today, I started a new Tumblr too for the sake of my art work. The Tumblr will probably have some description behind all my works, that's what I want my Tumblr for. But of course, people can follow just for the sake of the pictures.

Follow me on Instagram: CREEPYISM
On Tumblr: Creepyism1 (#1 at the end)

or you can look for the links in the description to the left.


In the beginning I just scribbled some shit together and I didn't put a lot of effort but the later works are cooler and you can see that I've put more effort into them.

How did I discover this skill and why did I choose this type of art? I'll answer this on my Tumblr. But basically it all happened by accident.

Update: Stockholm and INNA

It's been hell of a while since I've been updating around here. Well, I've been having so many changes going on in my life right now that I just forgot about the blog. But now I feel it's time to do an update about some events that have taken place recently.

So I am currently at home, in Stockholm again and I came like 3 Feb because of the INNA concert that took place on the 7th.

Friday night included partying with my beloved Diana and Saturday was INNA time. It was amazing to see INNA, however it was disappointing concidering the major lack of effort to give a good show. I mean, what the heck is she wearing? Shit to the gym? Come on!! Lost some respect for here there.

Anyway, me and Diana were at the front, literally. And I shook hands with INNA!  You gotta reach out! Her hand was cold and so small. Perhaps a bit sweaty..

That's how close she was. I could have her whole face up in my camera without zoom.

It's scary because I can relate to almost everything on this list...

While most think of creative people as “right-brained” or artsy, creativity exists within all of us – even the most logical, linear thinkers.

However, some of us have honed our creative sides a little more than others, and know how to capture and express that imaginative energy. Creative people cover a broad spectrum of personalities, from the stereotypical starving artist to the entrepreneurial businessman. They share some common traits that allow them to bring that creativity to life, including the following:

25 Things Creative People Do Differently:

1. They work when the work comes to them…meaning that they only paint, draw, write, sew, dance, or write out business plans when they feel like it. Creative people know the mind performs best in small bursts of concentrated work.
2. They probably don’t have a “normal” job. The creative spirit feels dampened by a job in which it doesn’t get to roam free and do as it pleases. Many creative types turn to entrepreneurship to make money, because it fulfills their soul while still allowing them to get paid.
3. They see inspiration in everything. Creative spirits become inspired by anything and everything, from an unusual pattern on a leaf to the bright lights of a city at night. They see the world as their oyster, and have a knack for finding inspiration in the most unlikely of places.
4. They never stop questioning. The creative mind always wonders and always wanders; creative people have highly active imaginations, and ponder the big AND small questions in life. They want to know it all.
5. They aren’t afraid to fail. They don’t even see failure as a bad thing, because they know that the only way to grow in life is by putting yourself out there and making mistakes.
6. They are very independent people. They don’t like being told what to do or when to do things. They work best alone and feel totally confident walking their own path in life.
7. They are risk-takers. Creative people don’t just love doing new things, they actually seek out dangerous or uncomfortable opportunities because this makes them feel alive. It unlocks new doors of creativity, and might even give them insight into previously undiscovered talents.
8. They use their pain to fuel their passion. Creative people have likely been through very hellish and traumatic experiences, but these experiences give life to their work. They feel inspired by what they learned from their setbacks, and transmute the negative energy from the pain into something positive.
9. They practice self-development. Imaginative people know that a foggy, unproductive, negative brain will block their creativity and not allow them to express themselves fully. They read self-help books, practice mindfulness, meditate, do yoga, and say positive affirmations. They know that a positive attitude is the cornerstone of achieving a high level of creative success.
10. They daydream. Creative people let their minds wander, and don’t ask any questions until later. They simply enjoy traveling to new lands and thinking up new concepts through their imaginations, and know that daydreaming can lead to the most profound, unparalleled ideas.
11. They enjoy spending time alone. Most creative people are seen as loners or misfits, and never really fit in to any stereotype or clique. While this may not always be the case, creative people usually feel most comfortable in solitude because they do their best work in their own company.
12. They aren’t afraid of being different. They know they’re different, but they wouldn’t have it any other way. They own their uniqueness, and feel honored to show it off.
13. They only want friends who uplift and inspire them. They don’t want to be around people who don’t have big dreams and visions – they seek out friendships with people who they can bounce ideas off of and who truly understand their soul.
14. They often act before they think. Despite the stereotype of creative people, most of them actually take huge leaps of faith without going through all the scenarios in their minds first. Why? Because they know that they must live it, not just think it, in order to reach their goals.
15. They do things most people aren’t willing to do. They don’t give up easily, they put themselves out there, they fail over and over again but see it as growth, and they put in hard work even when they’re tired. Creative people are troopers; they have a strong will and don’t let anything stand in their way.
16. They have a “yes” mentality. They say yes to life, because they know this will create more opportunities for them. They do things even when they’re scared or unsure – they realize that momentum coupled with a positive attitude create the perfect mixture for exciting things to happen.
17. They have a strong work ethic. They might work fifteen or more hours a day, depending on how they feel. They know that dreams don’t work unless they do.
18. They are complex people. They might feel that no one understands them, but they don’t care. They have an intricate web of personality traits and deep emotions, but they feel proud to have so many layers. They think this makes them a more interesting person!
19. They get bored with the same old routine. They thrive off of new experiences, and actually cringe and feel caged in by doing the same things at the same time, day in and day out.
20. They move around a lot. They don’t like staying in the same place too long, because their creative energy thrives off of new places, faces, and activities.
21. They are highly emotional, intuitive people. Most creative people identify with being an empath, or highly sensitive person. They feel things very deeply, and let out their emotions through their creative work.
22. They may have a hard time falling asleep. Because of their active brains, they might stay up into the early morning hours some nights, either working or just thinking.
23. They take care of themselves. They realize their creative energy can’t move through them if they don’t keep their mind, body, and soul healthy. They likely care about their diet, exercise often, and meditate daily.
24. Life means nothing to them if they don’t follow their heart. They don’t relate to people who see everything as a means to an end. To them, their passion is both the means AND the end.
25. They live life on the edge. They know that they must always feel excited and challenged in life in order to live to the fullest. They want to live a life that is anything but ordinary.
