About Me |
|
| I'm not really a little, wooden Viking toy thing, but I really like that picture and sometimes I wish I was... So, about me...well, I have a deep appreciation for and fascination with Vikings. The way I see it, at one end of the spectrum are Vikings, representing all that is excellent and worthy of undying praise. Then at the other end of the spectrum we have fucking work and school. I maintain a website called www.scandinavianaggression.com. Its primary function is to shamelessly market my epic, scholarly work of Viking oral history (and I use the words "epic" and "scholarly" with the utmost sincerity), but it also features other valuable information for our Viking-deficient modern world, such as a contemporary Viking booze list and a Viking self help guide. You can read more about the book at the bottom of this section if you want. Personally, I think it's pretty badass. But I wrote it, so I'm biased. Here are some excellent words of wisdom from the exceptional Olli Mikkonen of Amon Amarth fame (taken from the October/November 2006 issue of Sweden Rock Magazine): "Finns det något mera metal än vikingar? Om det hade funnits sådan här musik på vikingatiden, det är klart som fan att vikingarna hade lyssnat på metal!" (approximate translation: "Is there anything more metal than Vikings? If there had been this type of music during their time, it's clear as fuck that the Vikings would have listened to metal!"). And now for the blurb about my book followed by a link to my website where I have some excerpts and other random Viking shit (including the aforementioned list of Viking-related beer, mead, and hard liquor): It's called The Scandinavian Aggressors: An Oral History of the Modern Viking Movement and it is the world's first and only account of the glorious (and oftentimes not so glorious) deeds of the Vikings during their tumultuous 2004 reunion tour. In it readers will meet larger-than-life Viking heroes Trond "Troll-Breath" Trondsen, Björn Svensson, and Ingrid Törnblom as they tell of their ruthless quests to enslave leprechauns, decapitate Copenhagen's statue of The Little Mermaid, conquer England, and drink lots and lots of mead. A slew of lesser Vikings flesh it out with their tales that include such things as the slaying of a retarded dragon, the razing of a doll's house in Oslo, and the suffering of horrendous digestive problems on the day of a fateful Icelandic jihad against the indigenous tribes of Greenland. Pilfer the above code to help me revitalize the skaldic industry and spread the word of modern Viking glory! |

I'd like to meet:Vikings! I'd also like to meet Thor. As you can see, he's on my top friends list, but I haven't ever actually met the guy before. Maybe the next time I have car trouble, he'll show up and fix the problem for me, kind of like how he did for Elizabeth Shue in that Adventures in Babysitting movie. That'd be some sweet shit.I guess I'd also enjoy meeting pretty much anyone else with same/similar interests as me (I'll generally add bands if I like what they're doing). Not too big on meeting _____[insert name of random skank here]_____ who wishes to spam me with porn. Hail the Californian Vikings! Not Vikings but I hail them anyway! |

The Viking Test : Viking Raider (You scored 86% Berserker, 89% War Chief) You are a Viking Raider. In Viking times you would have been the son of a commoner. 3rd or 4th in line to inherit any wealth You would have had to have set out to stake a fortune of your own; the only way you know how, by the sword. since boyhood you have been training to fight. You left home with a raiding party as a young man to seek your wealth and fame over seas. You are a very well rounded fighter and thinker. your a good man to have around when things get tough. In the Viking age you would have most likely taken part in many raids and retired young and well off if you had survived the dangerous lifestyle. The Viking Test |
