Learning Sami

Today was my quick and intensive course in Sami, or more like general Sami or Northern Sami (most spoken today), as there are ten different types of Sami and all are different enough from each other not to be understood by other Sami speakers and there are also various regional dialects inside those ten different Sami. But I've wanted to learn the language (Northern Sami) ever since I was little but much more so after I stumbled across  the music of a certain Norwegian Sami singer - Mari Boine.

Sami are the indigenous people of Northern Europe, most likely descending from tribes from Russia. They've been, as many indigenous people, oppressed, used and denied rights, but have now finally received acknowledgement. They are allowed to teach in Sami and learn Sami and speak Sami and live their lives as Sami (some are still reindeer herders) and practice their own beliefs if they still believe in the old religion (which today isn't very prevalent at all).

If you're interested in learning Sami there is a great website to help with that. They also have exercises and listening practice. You can find them here: http://kursa.oahpa.no/2012/02/03/1-1-buorre-beaivi-hu/

Today's thoughts and workouts

So today I decided to get back on track with my exercising and weight loss, though I haven't really lost the track as more levelled into a track I don't want to be in. However, it's never that simple, because let's face it - the amount of sedatives I'm taking could keep a T-Rex asleep for three days, so how on earth am I going to have the sheer energy to even lift myself off the bed, let alone some weights to add?

I constantly feel tired, I feel like all I could do this moment is just sleep sleep sleep, and that's really all I want to be doing when it's this cold and dreary. I hope very much that it doesn't stay like this for very long, otherwise I'm seriously going to lose it. And I've basically already lost it, kinda why I'm in this mess in the first place.

It's also not the simplest way to try and motivate your weight loss when half the time you keep staring at a bottle of 40 proof and wishing you could just down it in one. Now there's some unnecessary carbs for you, way to go. The cheapo Estonian beer in my room aren't helping either, though it's not really their fault I want to drink them. I can really relate to Bugs's emotions here.

Butttt, here's my goal:

Unnatural Obsessions

I have a weird and rather uncomfy obsession with firearms. I think they're cool and though  I'd be the first to ban them, I still find them absolutely fascinating. Especially old flint locked rifles.
