What is it about Cliff Burton ?

Since i am taking the bike to work the weeks that i work afternoons i usally listen to musik on my cellphone. Otherwise it gets quite boring..1,3 miles are boring enough. Takes me about 45-50 minutes (lots of ups and downhill i can tell you that much).

Well, last wednesday i happened to have my playlist "Metallica instrumentals" going. So, when i was on my way home and the song "To Live is to Die" started it just started pouring down...HARD ! And it kept going all the way home..i was really soaked. Well, well...shit happens. I guess the raingods wanted to express their feelings on his untimely death.

So, the next day was was on my steelhorse once again..same playlist as the night before. Got to the same place..once again "To Live is to Die" was on. And then the sky fell down on me....again. Ten times worse than the night before. The rain was down in torrents, thunder was flashing and the wind almost blew me off the road. Totally crazy. (It kept raining the whole evening,and when riding home the wind was so hard that i had too keep pushing downhill because i had the wind against me the whole way home (add rain to that, mind you).)

Even the weather gods pay homage to Cliff Burton.

("To Live is to Die" is the last Metallica song that is credited to Cliff. It is a song the put together with unused riffs he left behind. Quite emotional song, for an instrumental.)

As usual..

..i always return here when i am beaten down.

But it will pass i guess.

"Voices hard and hollow
Colder than I ever was before.
I'm leaving you pieces
Of love to come for more"

Some updates..

I have been working quite hard lately....since the end of february things have sped up & for the last two weeks i have been working like a maniac, actually. Even week-ends and overtime. So much that yesterday i had to ask to have the friday off for getting some rest over the weekend. Today they called and told me that they needed me to work saturday & sunday to at least tuesday. Well, it is better than having no work at all. And since it also is good money.....i do not complain ;)

What we all have been waiting for....

Enough said !

The time has come !

Oh shut up, i am full !!!!

Christmas = eating..right?
I have been eating like crazy...i think i will go up to the barn and pick up my runningshoes.
Will feel good to break new running-grounds here i Norway..many new roads to discover out here in the backwaters (Brunlanes). So, what will i do until then? Well..eating i guess...and listening to the audiobook-version of Tolkien`s "The Silmarillion"...10 CD-box.
And on sunday the hockey starts again.

Gotta keep myself busy :)

See y`all !

Well, things are moving slow right now. As expected right before the holidays.
But as always, i am plotting and planning ;)

Got a little gadget from last.fm to the right, for you to enjoy ;)
See y`all !

Some reflections...

Well, i had it all planned out, didn`t i? Yes, except for one thing.
The one thing that hooked me to Umeå, floorball.
It did not really hit until my last game working for the Dalen Ladies, which i had done for some 2-3 years (not quite sure, actually).
Before the game started they had me come out on the gamefloor to recieve a game-shirt which the whole team had signed and applauded me for my work.
At that point i really did not want to move at all....and still i miss them all immensly (hey, is that the way to write it?). UIK & Malmø FF i can always see on TV when it comes to that, Redhawks have their live-report over the net...but Dalen is a different thing, everyone who worked with them are such a wonderful team. I will go see Dalen`s away-games as often as i can.....but they are the one team that i will really MISS. Actually, i have missed them since even before moving. It just did not hit me before that very day. I wish you all the best girls, and hope to see you often ! It is hard to put words on feelings like these...





Thanks to Jimmy Halldin for the picture !

Working on it, dammit!

Living in Norway now, been here for about a week. Lots of things to take care of !
So do not expect me to write here to often for some time to come (as if that is possible ;) )

The beast still lives...
