A little bit of this and that.

Working, training, sleeping. Working, training, sleeping. That is my life right now. I had a miserable weekend...you do NOT want to hear about it. And that is a promise.

Still no time to fix the aquarium (or getting a new turtle).

And it is soon Christmas...which for me will be both short and (bitter)sweet.

Just as today´s blogg...at least short..heheheh.

Stay tuned!

A short one...

It is at last friday...and for the firsttime in a week i have the whole evening to do absolutely nothing...no training. I have started to train with Westerbotten Huskies, the local Football-team. As in American Football.
Working out 5 to 7 times a week..it is really hard and challenging. But that is why i do it. Gotta go, i will be back,

A sudden death in the family.

My turtle Skade passed away today. I was given her in 1994 i think...but when i moved to Umeå i had not the time, or place, to take care of her...so Andreas and Ankelika took care of her for me. When they broke up, some time ago none of them had the space..so i took her back. Skade was at least 15 years old. So now i will find me another turtle who have no home...but i will never forget Skade. May you rest in peace.

KAROLINA!!!!!!!!!!!

Things have not been well in my camp lately..but at least one thing have made me very happy:

Karolina Westberg have decided to play another year with UIK! :) I am SO happy about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Karolina!!!!!!! :)

If only Anne Mäkinen would sign now also....chances are that i die of joy ;)

Ordnung must sein! (sic)

Well, i have not been well, and when one are in pain..writing in a blogg is the last on ones mind.

Still, i have not been inactive, i have done things..like going to Stockholm watching UIK vs Djurgården/Älvsjö in the Swedish-Cup final (thanks for painkillers!). UIK lost, the first (and last) time this season. The way they played they deserved it..it was a pain to watch. But they took the gold in Damallsvenskan, that is what matters :)

More football...now it is Silly Season..and i can get no rest until Karolina Westberg and Anne Mäkinen have signed up for next season. Then i hope to celebrate...please, sign up!!

I hope to be back soon, be well & take care!

*cough cough*

UIK beat the crap out of Odjurgården/Djävulen (sic)...many good things today..some which includes Karolina Westberg (who got to play today! :) ) I seen to be rid of my cold at last...so...workout on monday! Damn i have missed it!

I feel a bit...unfocused...gotta relax and put things together. But all in all, a great day :)

a comment....

Nothing much happens when you are sick....right??

For which i have been blessed!!

.....LISEN IS BACK! God how i have missed her. First the e-mailreply from Karolina, now this...i am truly a lucky man these days! Nothing much to add, really.

Lift me a hand, i´m just a person.

THIS SUCKS! Still sick..but had to go downtown. I am going to get lenses...hehe. And picked up my bike. And add to that, that i promised to help Kristoffer (from work) to help moving. Boy am i going to be beat tomorrow, even without the workout.

But as we say in Norrland "he e bara o bit ihop". Roughly translated to "one just have to keep going".

I wonder of there is some finnish blood in me after all...i seem to have Sisu ;)

Oh joy!

When i got home last night, after work..i found a mail (reply) from Karolina Westberg in my inbox. That was the best thing that have happened to me since i do not know when...a really long time ago.
Thank you Karolina, you are the best! *smiles*

I seems that have gotten a cold...at least a sore throat, so i cannot workout :/
But whatever..right now i am SO happy anyway! And everything else is of no importance whatsoever :)

Wouldn´t you miss me?

Today i have a splitting headache...only Syd Barrett seems to be able to do something about it. Listening to his best-of album.

See you all.

Zum kotzen!

So, what have happened..nothing much really. Still got some muscleache from fridays workout ;)

I have been eating pizza..probably for the last time in a VERY long time..just fat, fat, fat and FAT! I feel almost ill.

Going to try to call Sofia..again...have been unsuccessful for 3 weeks. This sucks.

Today is rather short in terms of blogging...back again tomorrow..with vengeance i hope!

smrt za smrt

SWEDEN WON!!!!!! Beat the crap out of Belo Russia. And other than that i had a great time going back and forth. And Evelina managed to get there too. good company, a good game..ehat else does one need? The only downer was that the photos i took with my cellphone were crap! The pics were too small :/ Somehow i must have changed the settings...damn!
I got some really good pictures of Marklund, Sjögran, Schelin and Lindahl. And also from the game. But it all went down the drain :( Next time i will make sure that it does not happens again!

But, the hour is late and i gotta sleep! But stay tuned for more worldshaking news ;)

Mashed legs, please!

Todays workout was really good..as you can guess from the title of todays index ;) I really felt i went forward with the training today, great progress!

At work we had a cleaningday = not much production = very relaxed tempo...great!

I had to workout alone, AGAIN! I am getting sick of this. I am seriously thinking about joining the local American Football team (Westerbotten Huskies), to train with them.I take training very serious...either one does train hard, or no at all. Huskies does it 5 times a week..my kind of attitude! I have to see what happens, but it is the most possible solution right now, because this cannot go on!

And i am soooo looking forward to watch UIK again..those who waits for something black and yellow...never waits too long;)

But tomorrow it is Skellefteå, and the national soccerteam...perhaps i see you there ;)

Now i gotta go back to the couch, to rest my tired old bones ;)

Kamerad! Wo herstammt du!? (sic!)

Gotta get this thing moving. So i will try to at least write something everyday :)
At least you will know that i am alive..hahaha

Some time ago i at last got hold of Blümchens CD "Live in Berlin", the missing link in my collection of albums of freülain Wagner. German euro-techo never goes out of style!

Enough ranting! Listen to Syd Barretts soloalbums, relax. I do that, recomended.

2 more days before going to Skellefteå to watch Sweden - Belorussia. Right now it is me, Anna, Hanne and maaaaaybe Evelina. Looking forward to it very much.

-END OF LINE-

Ai....

Been a while..again!

I had it updated a couple of days ago, but managed to erase it...how typical of me.

But nothing much have happened since that anyway..except that UIK won with 7-1 over Sunnanå...great game it was! Next weekend i am going away to Skellefteå to watch Swden-Belorussia...that is going to be fun. And today i got my pay...i am rich...for a short while ;)

Gotta go now, i hope to be back soon...to unleash another of my incredible exciting contributions to the internet ;)

This and that.

Been a while! When i work afternoons i am too beat to write after work..and to sleepy before...Any conclusions? Yes, i gotta get another job!

On the other hand, nothing much have really happened. Well, when i think about it, i spoke to Sofia today.Thas is always a pleasure. I phoned her! That is almost unheard of when it comes to my habits! I have not spoken to her in a month..horrible really. So we decided to make up to it tomorow..i am already looking forward to it :) She really lives too far away! I miss the times when she lived here, but what can i do? I have doen some research on visiting, but the results were really depressing. If i am do not take at least a day off, i have tops 1 ½ days to stay..and two days of travelling. There are very few disadvantages with living in Umeå, but this is certainly a BIG one!!!!!!!! I shall see what i can do, but right now i am looking forward to tomorrow..that is all that matters right now :)

Today was supposed to be a cleaning day, but as you can see (i am here;) ) it is not going too well. Still got some aftermath from fridays workout ;)

And, last but not least, UIK beat the crap out of KIF Örebro on thursday...2-7 speaks for itself really! Go girls, soon the gold is yours!

Minä haluan paljon rahaa!

Soon work again, but at least i got something done this weekend. Let us start with friday. After work it was workout, it was good..but not as last friday..but then again i did not get a Westberg-shirt either ;)

Friday evening i was home on the couch watching the movie "Der Untergang" while resting my poor body. "Der Untergang" (i assume you know of the movie, it is quite famous) was really good, i have been looking forward for the DVD release for a long time! And at least i got it! I was afraid that my expectations were too high, but i was really blown away! Then again, it is only me who get blown away by a movie about the end of the Third Reich on a friday night ;). Bruno Ganz portrait of Adolf Hitler was genious, and there were no pointed fingers at all..what a relief! After that there was not much to do but sleep, really heavy movie!

Saturnday was quite dull..the only fun that happened was that i spoke Anna Hofwing (formerly playing in UIK) on MSM, nice girl indeed.I was going to Linas birthdayparty. Since i knew that nothing would happen until earliest at 21.00, i decided to watch "Constantine". BAD decision.Not because the movie was bad, au contraire, but afterwords i was tired and had to go to bed. Sorry Lina :/

Now, today?

I got together my my computertable, at last! With the help of Pengan, who also took the old computertable..thanks for that! :)
Well, i guess that was all.

And now for something completly different!

I had the day off today, great! Woke up early because i had a terrible cramp in my right leg...how typical ;)
So, had good time for breakfast before going to workout, which went quite well...a little bit over par..but what the heck..gotta be like that sometimes to :)

Went home, to check the mail and stuff...and then downtown again to watch UIK vs Mallbacken...i´ve been looking forward to it since..well, last game actually. Offcourse UIK won, 6-1 this time..but it could have been more. BUT, this is important, it was not a game against one goal..Mallbacken at least tried to play, and did not go defensive at all...kudos for that! The worst thing there is when teams back home and creates a meatwall..so boring. Womenfootball is really going forward...much changes and much better since last season.

And most important of all, Odjurgården/Älvsjö beat Malmö FF..which means that UIK is in the lead..soon the gold will be home where it belongs..on Östra Idrottsallén in Umeå!

Enough football for now, i got the movie "Der Untergang" in the mail today...i am really looking forward to see it. I did not get to see it when it was on cinema this spring, so friday will be the day for it...at last! My interest in the second world war only seems to get deeper and deeper for each year. Got LOTS of books and DVDs..some feeble morons thinks that i have right-wing sympathties...oooh, he is interested in that, he be must be a nazi! It is them that are the true nazis. I have nothing but dispise for socialists and communists due to their narrowmindedness. In their little world everyone can think what they want, as long as they think as they do. Embarrassing and hypocritical, to say the least.

End of politics, and todays blogg.

And remember: THINK!

A little better, thank you.

So, tuesday is over....tuesdays are quite good workdays...not too much to do. And tomorrow i have taken the day off, UIK-Mallbacken...i did not have to...but until monday i thought that i worked afternoons..so i took the day off, but because of reasons of no importance, really, it did not happen. Whatever, a day off is always nice ;) Report on the game will be published tomorrow.

Der Undergang is close! Actually, it will show up on my doorstep tomorrow i hope. I am looking forward to see it, been waiting for a long time. I guess i will see it on friday. But it is so booooooring to watch movies alone..so i do not see as much as i used to do. Loneliness is great? In theory perhaps, but else..? NO WAY! But what can one do?

Yesterday i thought about my friend Lisen, she suddenly disappered...i really miss her even if we were not like eachother at all, quite the opposite..except for our love for Björk. But we got along well anyway, much to our surprise ;) And now she is gone. I still think of her often.
Just like my mother she died, July last year, from cancer..and it still feels unreal not having her around. So much things one takes for granted, that suddenly is not there anymore. I really miss her, rest in peace.

Now i am getting really depressive here, and that aint right. Life is full of good things, one just have got to find them :) Which gives me the opportunity to recommend a book to you all: Benjamin Hoff: Tao of Pooh.
A great introduction the the non-religion of taoism, since taoism is not a religion..it is all..and nothing ;) Check it out, if you have got an open mind!

I guess that was all for now..now it is dinnertime....and no stress at all..just relaxing.

Thank you for you time and interest.

Another week to work....

I am seldom angry, i can be very irritated, sour, grumpy and be a major pain i the you-know-what, but i am seldom ANGRY. But now i am very close. I have to let off some steam now. Right now there is a discussion in the local newspaper on wether female footballplayers should rely more on their feminity, tighter dresses etc "since then they should get more public interest" That is the most stupid thing i have ever heard!!!!! Either is is football, or it is something else. I do not go to see women, i go to see football that i like. And when i am at it and have the steam up, i am sick and tired of people asking "Who is most goodlooking?", "Which one would you take home from the pub?"WHO CARES?????!!!!!! I do not know any of the players in any of the teams. And i have no desire to seek them up just because the play in a footballteam. On the field they are a team..outside the field they are private persons. I might run into them, and if they are nice to me i am nice to them and everything is ok. But it is nothing i desire/plan/think about doing. Because they are persons, just like you and me with their own lives outside the footballfield. Their looks have absolutely nothing to do with it...even though i am a man..i am not immue. But it is not important. Enough ranting.

So, today was work..and work was..well, work? Work is like cleaning..it is boring, it takes time..but you gotta do it! And it is good when it is done.
So, i took the bus to the gym..well, i hoped to do that! But the bastards had changed to autumntime...The result was that i had to workout without the aid of Andreas (again!!!!), but it went quite well..so i do not complain. walked home afterwards..that is about half a swedish mile. But whatever. No pain, no gain! ;)

Now do i think i have said too much of disinterest to you all..gotta make dinner!

Yes, 2 more things!
First: i was invited to Linas birthdayparty on the 27th...going to be nice..if their animals do not kill me, that is ;)

Second: it looks like i m going out to O´Learys (sportsclub) to watch Iceland - Sweden play (on TV4+, which i do not have at home) on the 28th, and also eat good food...two in one:)

Hey, this is much to disorganized..but i am to lazy to edit it.
See you around, i will try to be more organized next time!

I got a telephonecall.

I just got a telephonecall from my father (in Norway). He is at the hospital right now. He had an accident at work this summer, that was very close to crushing one of his feet. It seems that the blow made injuries to the flesh, and some of it died..so he had to take it away (the dead flesh, that is). Now he is made ready for a transplant, which will be done this week..It was nice hearing from him, and that everything is going well :)

It really feels like i am too far away from my family, especially in times like these. I am notoriously bad at calling people, even when i know that i should do it. I must really try to better myself!

back on track

Nothing much have happened today. Going to do laundry, and cleaning up.

This friday i had my first leg-workout for a long time..which have left me quite un-mobile this weekend ;)

Friday was a really lousy day by the way, until i found out that my Westberg teamshirt had finally arrived from the printingcompany. That and the workout really saved my day!

An explanation is in place here: Karolina Westberg is a footballplayer for UIK (Umeå Idrottsklubb) who moved from her native Skåne (far south of sweden) to Umeå because she felt she needed challenges, that takes guts! I admire her for that, and i am a person that is not easily impressed. But since i myself originally comes from the south of sweden (but lived 11 years in Norway, mind you) i know how it feels. Go Karolina, go!
I am wearing the teamshirt with her name and number on it with great pride.

UIK is a name that will be very frequent on this blogg.

Now what will happen? Today, not much, except for what i wrote above.
Wednesday is footballday, and i have taken leave from work.

But you will see for yourself, stay tuned!

...today

Well, well, well...finally at work. Gotta get to know to get this thing going..stay alert!
