What to do in class when bored...

After a couple of hours my brain is all filled up and can't take anymore... thats when I start regressing.

BJJ 4ever

On saturday I have my first ever BJJ tournement. I am excited and scared. Mostly impatient. Waiting is not my favorite pasttime.

BJJ is usually the reason I get up in the morning. It is my joy and my addiction of choice. My goal is to have fun, and I will do my best to make it so.

King of Pop

I think most people below a certain age and above an other has some kind of relasionship with Michael Jackson. Good or bad. For me, he was the soundtrack of my life since age of 8 and then making reaccuring apperances as I redescovered him every other year or so. Intensely inventive, highly emotional, and with a touch of magic most of his songs stands not only the test of time, but become the measure which other music is judged by.
Songs like Smooth Criminal ( playing right now ) brings back no specific memory since I've listend to it so many times that it becomes a bit blurry.
Now it switched to Maka a Change. Many people mock him. He knew that I think. He didn't make music for the powerfull people, but for everybody else. In essence he was somehow that weird bullied kid in school, but with an almost godgiven talent and drive.
Therefor I am filling my Ipod with all of his music I can find. Not to have an memorial but to enjoy his creation. And his creation, modern popmusic. Because what is life without a soundtrack?

Spring

Spring energize me. I am listning to Veronica Maggio, glancing at the book I was supposed to read and writing this at the same time as I'm waiting for my mom to arrive. Multitasking is the key to a sucessfull life of a lazy person. Because being lazy makes you strive for the most effective solution, thus maximazing the output and minimizing the input.
Every spring here in Sweden I am suprised to have survived once again. The darkness and damp turns into long days and short nights.
From April to September I am a nationalist, I love Sweden. The rest of the year I spend ridiculas amounts of time browsing internet sites for last minute trips anywere else as long as it is warmer. But now, now it is good. No now it is great. So drop by ( C and M that means you!)

Being 17

I think everyone has this one album, or song or artist that defined their teens. For me it is Håkan Hellström. Some love him some hate him. But I still know all the lyrics and I still love them. And when I listen to him I am transported back to high school. Unfortunatly he sings in swedish, because his lyrics are brilliant. How he plays with words, makes new ones up or just reguarly abuse the word order. For me he perfectly captures the feeling of being 17 years old.

Being sick is easier in your home country

That is my theory at least. Just knowing what is possiable or not takes loads of my mind.

Sweden and sunshine

I have been back for nearly 3 months and Seoul is fading fast. Now, as spring is creeping up on Stockholm I will probably stop missing it. It is good to be back, though I miss my friends alot. And the bustling crowds, the energy. Sweden is cool, hip but not exactly fast paced. So now I am of to Body Balance class at the gym were I now work part time. The sun is shining, something only people who have lived most o their lives this far north can appriciate. I am sunpowered and a sunworshiper. And it is sunday.
