(PJE) 1. Why do I think of a boy getting his tooth pulled when I think of the 22 July Oslo bombing? 2. Why do I think of the default iPhone ringtone when I think of Breivik getting arrested?

July 22, 2022

And 3: Why did a moderator / admin named Uderzo ban my throwaway account (that I only accessed through Tor) from Diskusjon.no when I asked question #1 on their forum today last year, on the 10th anniversary of these terror attacks?

I felt compelled to wait until the anniversary date to ask these questions.

As for 1, I think of Vidar (actor: Tim Kieran Sandvid) from the NRK Super kid’s show Ekornvei Ligaen (Squirrel Road League), getting his tooth pulled at the dentist when I think of the ANFO van bomb that blew up the government quarter in downtown Oslo on 22 July 2011. The boy, Vidar, is seen here: https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ekornvei-ligaen/sesong/1/episode/1/avspiller

As for 2, I think of this default Apple iPhone ringtone every time I think of the scene where and the moment when Anders Breivik got arrested after the massacre he perpetrated on Utøya: https://youtu.be/oIvjIzKPRzI

So this begs the question: *Why do I have those thoughts?* How do they possibly pertain?

If there are any therapists here from Oslo, I would appreciate for them to chime in here. Tusen takk.

(PJE: Personal Journal Entry) Recurring memory: Being pulled over in Missouri

July 21, 2022

On May 1, 2009, I was pulled over in my / my Mom’s gray 2001 Honda Accord by a Missouri State Trooper for rolling past a stop sign at an intersection without coming to a complete stop first. I was driving Natasha to her then-boyfriend Alex Gerry’s house in Collins.

The trooper gave me a warning, and told me not to roll another stop sign for the next 60 days. Given that we were from Kansas, I asked whether that was for anywhere or just in Missouri. He said “Just in Missouri!” To which I replied “Well then, that’s no problem, ‘Cause we’ll be back in Kansas in a couple of days!”

He asked for both of our IDs also. This was unusual; the first time I’ve ever had a passenger of mine also checked for ID.

So that’s when I had asked, “Now, I’m curious: Why do you also check the passenger in Missouri? ‘Cause if I get pulled over in Kansas, the cop doesn’t even acknowledge the passenger!”

He told me that it’s because sometimes, passengers could be escaped inmates from a jail or prison. I remember that part for sure. I don’t know whether he also mentioned the possibility of passengers also having outstanding warrants, but that would be another potentially valid reason for checking the passenger.

Natasha hadn’t yet obtained a driver’s license so she could only produce her military ID card, as we were dependents of a retired military father.

His check of our IDs came back clean of course, so he let us go on our way and he parted with the words “…And sorry to bother ya!”

This scenario has repeatedly played in my head numerous times by now. I’d like to post this here on my journal to see whether that’ll cause me to move onto more recent thoughts at least as interesting as this one.

I’d like to find a list of what states also check the passengers’ IDs, their reasons why they do, and what states don’t. Can you help me find that list?

    Son of W.A.Y. parody: You’ll Likely Pass It When You Are Old

    September 5, 2018
    • You’ll Likely Pass It When You Are Old
      • Parody of “Strip Polka” by the Andrews Sisters
      • Alternate Titles: “You’ll Likely Pass The Brunner Test When You Are Old” (although the song may not necessarily sing about just passing the Brunner Test. It may go over what else one may pass when they’re old, but a decision has yet to be firm on this one, as of 9-23-2018.)
      • A junior lawyer I spoke to mentioned that the Brunner Test to discharge student loans in bankruptcy, is more likely to be passed when the debtor is a senior citizen, because job prospects are generally diminished for those of a more advanced age, so the chances of getting a better income through a better job is reduced.

    Son of W.A.Y. parody: The Ballad of Brian Goodwin

    September 3, 2018
    • The Ballad of Brian Goodwin
      • Parody of “Zion’s Daughter” by Boney M
      • Alternate Titles: “The Ballad of Brian G” and “The Ballad of Brian G-Win
      • This ballad is to go over the needy neighbor who lives with Carissa upstairs from my apartment (as of September 2018) and what he has done in my life, or even to my life. 
    • Music video ideas
      • An actor portraying Brian Goodwin is to act out the scenes and moments that I remember about him; that are significant enough to be in the music video in the first place.
    • Lyric ideas
      • Somewhere in the lyrics the line must occur: “Oh, I have heard you, the first forty times!” This was when I suggested that he make other friends too so that he doesn’t have to rely on only me to do stuff for him all the time.
      • The ballad must describe the numerous times he’s asked me for money (and only paid me back once), the times he’s asked me for rides, even at inconvenient times, and etc.
      • The ballad ought also to mention somewhere how most of his teeth have rotted away (due to “bad enamel”) although he drinks alcohol very frequently, and has had sugary drinks pretty often for about all his life, which would contribute to tooth decay and tooth loss.
      • Somewhere in the ballad must also mention the fact that he wears plastic dentures that, when they turn yellow, he tries to re-whiten them by lighting a lighter’s flame to them, despite the fact that better solutions (like Polident), baking soda, whitening toothpaste, and etc. also exist.
