Today is my 30th birthday! I’ve long had a plan of making a sort of autobiography composed of several blog posts on this site. This week, after writing a bunch of new posts, I finished that goal.
30 Years of Me | An Autobiography
My First Trip to The Mediterranean
For Norwegians, the Mediterranean is one of the most common holiday travel destinations.

Moving & Memories
When I was eight years old, my parents got divorced.

Getting A Sister
My sister was born in December 1994, when I was four years old.
One of my earliest memories is from when the paramedics helped my mother out to the ambulance.
Getting Egged
In 2003, after my last day of primary school, I got egged.

Forgotten Friends
Here’s a picture of me at age three, with two friends. The picture was taken in my kindergarten in the fall of 1993.

First Smiles & Deer Piss
I smiled for the first time when I was six weeks old, in Haugesund.
It was during a roadtrip my parents had brought me on, while my dad was trying to sell deer piss to Norwegian hunters.

Kids Nowadays
Today at lunch I heard some very similar complaints as those in that quote, coming from a few of my colleagues.
Every generation since ancient times seem have been mocked by the previous generation for being worse than they were when they were young.
