Cortisol (hydrocortisol)

2011-10-09T05:28:00.003+01:00

Cortisol and why it's important to you!

I'll try to keep this simple and easy to follow.
Your adrenal gland releases cortisol into your bloodstream after receiving signals from the hypothalamus.

Cortisol acts to suppress your immune system.

This sounds boring but it's actually really important. You get more prone to bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Nasty stuff.

Aids in glucogenesis

A.k.a raises your blood sugar (amount of sugar in your blood). This is bad, it leads to insulin resistance which is diabetes type 2.

It is released in response to stress to restore homeostasis in your body but in excess it's bad bad bad for you. The syndrome is called Cushing's syndromeSo, in essence you get all the stuff that you don't want. You can get this syndrome from either pro-longed intake of corticosteroid drugs or by a tumor on any of the gland in the hypothalamo-pituitary-adreno pathway which upregulates their secretion.
But that's bad stuff!

So I hope it's clear now that cortisol is in most cases bad.
It's not all bad though because would god have "planted" cortisol in us if it ain't did us good?
Don't think so, in small doses it's good in response to stress.
* It can give you a sugar kick when needed
* Increase your blood pressure in a flight or fight response
* Increases your short memory function
* After strenuous exercise it can act to inhibit excessive inflammation.

However after we've returned to homeostasis it needs to go away which it doesn't always do in our high stress society. So if we keep our levels high

Most of the time you want to keep your cortisol levels low because prolonged high levels may cause...
* Destruction of cells in the hippocampus area, responsible for memory
* Decrease in muscle tissue
* High blood pressure
* Depressed immune system and slower wound healing
* Increased abdominal fat (which is where you defenitively not should have your fat)

Increased cortisol levels have been seen in..
* Depression/stress
* Illness/fever
* Trauma, fear, pain
* Physical exertion/ temp extremes
* Too much caffeine
* Sleep deprivation
* Burnout
* Cortisone levels may be altered in people with Autism and Asperger's

Pain is an interesting one, so there is a correlation with being in pain and a suppressed immune system! Especially if it's chronic pain. What if you walked around with back-pain all the time, for years? Your cortisol levels would most probably be elevated and your immune system suppressed.

I cant believe it's such a big no-no to talk about these things. It seems like a sensitive topic to talk about but I don't care. This is a real thing and people are afraid of talking about it?
This shouldn't be something hidden away from people.
It's cool that what the old time Chiropractors claimed to be able to do, science is now on it's way to explain parts of it.

And now for the good stuff that you want to bring in to your life
* Magnesium supplement after aerobic training (Unfortunately not seen with weight training)
* Omega-3 intake
* Music therapy
* Massage therapy
* Laughing, humor
* Crying
* Vitamin C intake
* Black tea
* Regular dancing (Argentine tango)
* Regular sexual intercourse
* Meditation

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above may be completely off since it's not referenced at all.
Just be critical to everything you see or hear because there's is probably a lot of stuff out there that's not right. Even though I try to make sure the stuff I'm writing about is 100% right you should be critical. This is just a good way for me to express what I'm reading about at the moment and things might be completely off since I don't have the time or feel the need to reference things when I'm just free writing like this.
Stay critical and don't believe anything that is not referenced.
Not even what your lecturers tell you and especially not me.

But hopefully you have a better understanding of what cortisol does to you by now.

Such a nice day today, sun is shining, 25 degrees. Me and my room mates have just cleaned out the garden and everyone is just happy. Weights in the gym felt like peanuts this morning. Also Caroline the girl I used to gym with came along today, was really good to see her again.

It's working out well at uni, getting some grades that I'm pleased with so far. Next year looks tougher thou. All the 4th years are complaining but hey everyone always have something to whine about I think it'll be just fine. We have such a good team in our class that we'll do just fine.

In a couple of weeks Linda will be coming down, I'm so so so looking forward to that. We'll stay in my tiny room so that will be a challenge, especially since I got my exams coming up but I'm sure everything will work out since both of us are so cool.

This is the view from my window, pretty awesome!

Brain plasticity

2011-06-30T22:41:00.003+01:00

Back in Sweden for a few weeks. It’s so cool and quiet over here. It’s quite a difference from the non-stop work mode back in Freo.

I’m observing my Chiropractor in the clinic almost every day and I’m outdoors painting houses a couple of times a week. It’s so green and lush everywhere, a typical Swedish summer.

A new and Swedens first cablepark has opened 1 hour from me so I’ve been hitting it up a couple of times. I really enjoy flying around with my wakeboard. It gets me so pumped. Yesterday I landed over a handful front2blinds, which is my favorite move atm. They look sick, feel sick so hopefully I’ll get them filmed and uploaded here.

Anyways been reading quite a bit about ADHD, brain plasticity and what effect different things have on our magnificent brain. This is the subject that really makes me tick.

So lets write something about what I’ve been reading about and make it into a coherent article?! Cool

Funny thing, my grades on my first three essays at Murdoch was 27, 34, 48%. Something I wanted to learn during my uni years was to write properly and on my most recent essay I got 86%. That’s cool, I think writing this blog has contributed at least a bit towards that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I picked up “The brain that changes itself” and read it. One of the many things that were brought up in the book was how in 1969 a neuroscientist; Bach-y-rita did experiments on congenital blind people (born blind). He put together a chair with around 400 vibrators attached to it. He connected a camera to the whole thing and dark areas vibrated a lot where as light areas didn’t. These persons who had never been able to see the world could now point the camera and say that that’s Johnny and he’s mouth is open. These days blind people get to have a small chip on their tongue.

Someone showed me this documentary of a boy who got cancer in his eyes and had them removed when he was 3 years old. He makes a clicking sounds and sees just like a bat, using echoloaction.

Well all these experiments and many more got me interested in what the brain was and what it could really do. The more I read the more I realized that we can make it do some incredible things.

It adapts really well but yes you got to stick with things a little longer then the average commercial break. When we are at the topic of TV I would like to bring to your attention how it affect your 1400gram, oatmeal lump.

More then a hundred studies have shown that the rate at which TV stimulates us is not at the same rate as our normal brain waves are at. But since the brain is so fantastic it rewires to the rate at which the environment gives us stimulation.

How might a child’s brain be impacted by the onslaught of technology-driven activities that are super stimulating to the senses (and therefore the brain) such as videogames? And what is the effect of the 24-hour-a-day “real time” coverage readily available today on television, of unfolding events, and detailed and repetitive visual coverage of disasters and violent crimes?

This rewiring has had some interesting side effects. A 20-years study by The rational Psychology Association in Munich, Germany, looked at the effects of technology on the brain. The study of 4000 subjects every five years yielded some very interesting findings.

In 1980, the study found that it was becoming increasingly harder to stimulate the cerebral cortex. The results indicate that our sensitivity to stimuli is decreasing at a rate of about one percent per year. !!!

My take on this is that we will have a harder and harder time appreciating details and small things in life. Like walking in nature where it’s quiet. Quite a coincident that young people all over the globe walk with ipods plugged in.

Look, I’m not saying that this is bad, maybe we can’t do anything about it but it can certainly contribute to ADHD and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) which five to fifteen percent of children and adolescents in the United States meet the criteria for. In inner city Detroit and other US cities up to 60% of the children are diagnosed with ADHD.

Our brains are continually molded after what we’re exposed to on a day-to-day basis. I guess not everyone want to chuck out their TV’s and couldn’t really give a damn about things like this but I do think that everyone should get taught it in school somewhere so that everyone is aware of this. That’s only fair.

Another interesting study on London taxi drivers show that their hippocampus gets larger for every year they work as a cabbie. Meditators and meditational teachers have a thicker insula, a part of the cortex activated by paying close attention. Their amygdala doesn’t fire nearly as easy as on a normal person. The amygdala in an ADHD kid is what fires madly and their cortex is unable to inhibit it – interesting.

A recent study of more that 2600 toddlers shows that early exposure to television between the ages of one and three correlates with problems paying attention and controlling impulses later in childhood. For every hour of TV the toddler watched TV each day, their chances of developing serious attentional difficulties at age seven increased by 10%. Forty–three percent of U.S children two years or younger watch television daily and twenty-five percent have TV’s in their bedrooms.

About twenty years after the spread of TV, teachers of young children began to notice that their students had become more restless and had increasingly difficulty paying attention. When those children entered college, professors complained of having to “dumb down” their courses each new year, for students who were increasingly interested in listening to sound and intimidated by reading of any length.

At the same time it was pushed for more RAM and gigabytes in the class computers instead of the attention spans and memories of the students. The medium that the students get their information from is far more important then the actual message. We process words differently when hearing, reading or vision them. Each medium leads to a change in the balance of our individual senses, increasing some at the expense of others. However it’s not known if this is harmful or not.

Almost everything can be found in either “The brain that changes itself” by Doigde Norman, or “ADD/ADHD DRUG FREE” by Frank Jacobelli and L.A Watson.

Well there is so much to be written on this topic and I find it highly interesting but it’s late and someone just put the TV on and I can’t keep my eyes off it so I better stop writing now and watch some TV before going to bed.

Halvvags igenom

2011-06-10T10:47:00.002+01:00

Idag Fredag gjorde vi varan sista exam for den har terminen.

Sa nu var halva min kiropraktor utbildning fardig.

Kanns som jag har mycket mer att lara aven fast jag har lart mig sa otroligt mycket.

Jag laser ganska mycket bocker utanfor om kiropraktik och far mig en uppfattning om vad jag vill rikta in mig pa. Just nu tycker jag neuro delen ar valdigt intressant.

Men det finns flera saker jag ska lasa om. Har bestallt en bok som Lance Armstrongs kiropraktor har skrivit. Vi kan namligen gora en Sports Chiropractic degree i 4de och femte aret och sen examinera oss i Syd Afrika under ASP touren i 5te aret, jag vet att Martin ar valdigt sugen pa det.

En spannande framtid blir det

Falu brannvin

2011-06-03T13:25:00.002+01:00

Pa sondag ar det State championship i O-lifting, far se om jag har tid att vara med.

1 vecka kvar och sen ar det Sverige som galler. Fick se realtime video fran mitt hus hemma i Falun idag. Det var saaa fint, sa gront och lugnt och stilla och katten och hunden busade med varrandra. Sa kul med katter och hundar.

Sen ar jag saaaa sugen pa att aka cablepark igen. Det oppnar tydligen en i Fagersta, 1h fran mig.

Kanske far bli en vecka i Danmark ocksa for i ar SKA jag lara mig en front2blind med grabbbb, jag vill sa garna. Den ar sa snygg.

Hoppas din kvall blir lika kul som min :)

Half way thru (almost)

2011-05-19T13:59:00.005+01:00

Tomorrow is our last day this semester, half way thru after we have written our exams.

Cool stuff.

For me; Uni is much easier these days and a whole lot of more fun.

Looking back at first semester in 1st year is amusing. I almost failed that semester - two units. I was confused when I got my grades, something definitively had to change.

I remember the day in first semester in my 2nd year when I got the "Faculty Dean's Encouragement award in Chiropractic". It's basically to the student who improved the most from 1st to 2nd semester. I was proud. On that same day I got a Swedish newspaper in the mail box, my dad was interviewed about chiropractic. I think I almost let a tear come through on the bus to uni that day.

I started viewing uni as I used to view kiteboarding. That became what I was thinking about most of the day. Things I did started to go in line with it. I have to say that it was quite a big change and I did quite a lot of reading on work ethic, efficiency, and similar subjects. Now almost 2 years later it feels like it will work out eventually. But I expect it to be another 5 -10 years of intense learning till I feel that I master this. There's a really good book written on the subject; "Mastery" by George Leonard. Highly recommended.

Other inspiring books are 7 times Tour De France winner Lance Armstrong's book "It's not about the bike", Michael Jordan's biography and "The power of full engagement".

Yesterday me and Martin booked weekend tickets to Sydney. There will be a Gonstead seminar there in August. That will be so cool, we'll be going with a few Chiropractors from Perth. A few of the big names from the States are coming over. We will be doing the beginner course which will be great. I really enjoy the gonstead classes we are doing and right now that is what appeals to me the most. It's a really precise and thorough technique but it's also considered the hardest one to learn.

But it's okay, I like when it's hard.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Teachers I respect say..

- Don't believe what anyone says, and especially not me, go and look it up for yourself!

If I could give myself two advices coming into first year it would be

1. It's actually easier to take the "hard" way. Do precise notes, go through lectures every evening and so on. Don't go for the easy option, you're only cheating yourself. Because you will have to learn it anyways, today or tomorrow why not do it straight away?

2. Implement habits; they will probably only make a 0.001 percent difference on a day-to-day, but adds up over years. This one is massive. Some of the ones I've been experimenting with this semester is

* Practicing chiropractic technique 40min every morning before uni.

* Meditation before study sessions

* Reviewing each lecture for 10min in the evening

Please, if you're reading, leave a comment.

Things I've learnt being a Uni student

2011-04-25T05:22:00.002+01:00

1. People always say that they haven't studied. BUT!!! They have. So you better study as well!

2. Use an egg timer. I've found that setting the timer at 90min and then doing what you're supposed to do increases you focus multifold. If you get ideas or realise that you have to do something, jot it down on post-it notes and stick them to the wall. During the time, nothing else is allowed to happen, no facebooking or eating. You gotta pay attention to when you drift away. After the 90min you have 15-30min off (with the egg timer) were you do something you really want to do, juggling or reading something you really want to read. You can get tons done in this way, instead of the steady state 8hours in the "grey zone" way.

3. Do notes when you study. It's way harder, annoying and you just can't be asked. But the sooner you realise that if you do notes you have to make sense of what you read and you can at anytime just go back and have a quick look through what you have done, life becomes so much easier. It's great because you have to use another part of your brain. Best way for me is to read and do notes, then quiz myself without any notes. Then in the evening you can look through your notes in just 5 min.

4. Put aside 10min for every unit every evening and review what you've done during that day.

(I have just started doing this and I think it's great)

Seriously, if you're on top of your stuff, Uni is so much easier and so much more fun. Hahaha it's funny but it takes some work in the beginning to get there.

Study break

2011-03-26T04:08:00.002+01:00

I've been writing heaps for the blog but I ain't satisfied with the stuff. Lots of brain stuff since I get more and more fascinated with the brain and nervous system as each day go by.
BUT I promised myself to keep posting so I can always update with what's going on in my life...

Went and saw this awesome guy Dr "S". That was really cool and it felt like I got a deeper understanding about what we actually do and how we do it.
Because if there is something I'm not gonna become its a B-shitter that don't know his thing.
I'm enough of one as it is as Sara so nicely pointed out yesterday ;)
It's easy to look at the surface of people, always try to look deeeeeep when you look at people.

Funny enough, some guy said something about Chiro "S" the day before I went to see him.
- I don't like him because he's rude, cocky not nice etc

But I do not care if he's rude, not treating me like a princess. Look deeper!
This guy was one of the best in his class, has practiced extensively, acquired the most precious skills. That's what I'm there for. I'm not there to be treated nice, I'm there to learn and I do not give a damn about him not being super nice to me and want to be my friend or whatever.

And yup' it was a really cool experience and that's the kinda skills I want.

From one thing to another, there is an O-lifting competition in two weeks. I might join that one and you can be sure that I will post the videos here!

Just gotta get my shit (uni) together and my shoulder needs to at least see the light in the end of the tunnel. But yeah I think I'll do it, maybe I can get a 50kg snatch and a 75kg C&J

Back to study
Peace

Concentration

2011-02-22T15:10:00.002+01:00

Today I'm going to bust out something quick - unedited.

We're in our second week and we're doing Neurology and I find it very interesting.
Massive workload though, in the first two weeks we're supposed to read 100 pages and we're not talking about an easy read hehe.

I was thinking about focus and concentration because it is something I always try to improve since it's so vital. I mean if you don't want to study 16hours a day you better focus and concentrate during the hours you do it. And have fun the other hours of the day. Interestingly enough 60% of the kids in the US have ADHD, a number that used to be much lower. That and a lot of other interesting stuff is what we're going to be introduced to.

Time to go to bed -> read -> sleep -> do everything again

Tomorrow I'll bring Linda to uni, that should be fun, will see if she can understand anything of our lecture tomorrow, "Neurology as a clinical tool". She used to be smarter then me haha just goes to show that you can pretty much do anything if you just cut the sh** out and focus.

3rd year

2011-02-11T15:10:00.002+01:00

Ranting two days before I enter my 3rd year over here at Murdoch Uni.

Got asked how life is over here and I might as well write a bit about it, really need to keep up the blogging since it's so good to write regularly. Will make it a habit to post on here once a week this semester.

It's actually amazing that we're starting 3rd year. It went fast but everything in life goes fast when you do stuff you like. Life here is truly amazing. I'm thinking and saying it out loudly almost every day. Sure we all have days when we think it sucks and that whatever we do is pointless but for the most part, shit is good.

Last semester we studied these units.

Anatomy all muscles and nerve innervation, bones and brain.
Was a great course and it's hard to believe that I didn't know all that before because it's second nature to me now.

Biomechanics What muscles do in your body, forces acting on your bones and some basic palpation of all the joints in the body (adjusting them will come this year)

Physical Examination What you basically do is that you do a physical examination of the patient's lungs, heart, head, skin, intestinal or other system.
Was a great deal of work and me and another classmate have committed to practice our skills once a week for this semester since these skills are so important to know from the top of your head. Our teacher used to say that he was going to phone us at 3am and drill us and damn the one who could not answer, funny guy and I really liked his teaching style.
You definitely did your homework before each class because he would throw questions at you all the time and would not hold back on the humiliation factor if you didn't knew the answer.

------------------
This semester we're finally being taught officially to adjust. I'm looking forward to this a lot. WE have a great teacher for this course as well. In fact, many of our teachers are great. I mean the kind of persons you rarely meet.

However I've been going to evening classes every week of this semester since the Chiropractic technique (Gonstead) taught there really impresses me. The University does not allow this technique and their clinic. They only go with a technique called Diversified. Which with my limited knowledge seems easier to learn, but don't take my word on this since my knowledge is virtually zero when it comes to this.

I can see what Murdoch is trying to do. They are trying to legitimatize the education we get as much as possible. Making it more medicine oriented but that puts more pressure on the student to get out there and learn and practice adjustments and hands on stuff, since there is not enough time spent on that at Murdoch according to me. But that's just fine and I just have the feeling that this is the way it goes. We do 5 years here and they do 8 years in the states so more responsibility to the student to get good on their own over here.

I don't have any references on this one but I think they learned 3 or 4 different techniques at Macquarie in Sydney where's at Murdoch we are only being taught one which is Diversified.
Politics politics...I still think that what you get out of your education is exactly what you put in. I've changed a lot since I first got here. These days we've been going in to Uni just catching up on stuff every fortnightly. I've now a deal with a good class mate of mine to arrive at uni 30min before we start to get some practice in everyday, that's how you learn - I know!

We had one guy in our class that after the first year transferred over to England and I spoke to him a month ago. Now this guy know what he wants and got his head right. He said that the academic standard over there was very low and their facilities were crap.
Result: he's coming back to study with us.

I've also been out there, observing Chiropractors. That has been of even greater benefit than I'd previously thought. They practice with different styles and techniques so you get to develop your own thought of what you want to do in the future. I think this is important questions to have in your head from the start.

I've now twice been observing the Chiropractor who is doing our Tuesday evening classes and this guy is amazing. Every time you walk out from his office you feel fresh and motivated.
It's been great to see that this stuff actually works. I was very skeptical and still is even though my Dad and Grandpa were Chiropractors. You should always be critical even if the person sounds very sure of his thing. Always do your own research.

Enough for today, now I'm going to enjoy my last two days of summer break before I'm back to were every minute is scheduled again.

Also have to add that I've started with Olympic weightlifting and will hopefully compete in State Championship in June 2011

Summer

2010-11-22T15:04:00.003+01:00

There is actually one exam left, physical examination, the theory part.
That's on Wednesday and then it's actually break for 11 weeks.
What am I going to do???

I've not been out for 2 months, no kiting, not surfing. I've turned nerdy.
That's okay thou, it heaps fun hanging out at uni, studying different things.

We'll have some really cool lecturers for next year, which I'm looking forward to. Units will be; neurology, evidence based practice and we are finally going to be taught adjusting. Even thou I've already been going to Gonstead evening classes. Which is a variation of the technique we are being taught by Murdoch.

How cool isn't it that my grandpa was traveling the States and the UK and learned chiropractic from different folks and then went on to develop his own technique. I mean that is pretty damn cool, especially since this was probably over 50 years ago.

Spring times

2010-10-12T10:05:00.002+01:00

"Bush court" at Murdoch uni, where everybody hangs out during the lunch.
Also check out the quality of my new camera, Canon S90

Was a long time since I wrote something here. I've been pretty busy doing other things. It's almost exam times, the summer is coming up and there is stuff happening all the time.
Always have to chose between uni work or going out.

Observed two Chiropractors a few weeks ago and my plan is to see two others before this semester ends. I've also been reading up on Osteoarthritis, ACL tears in females and tendinitis and tendinopathy. I find them all very interesting.

We got a great house going, me, Eric, two Swedish girl and one Ozzie girl and I'm really happy with the situation. MUSIC, MUSIC is so good for creating a good vibe in the house.

I've also started working again so I work a few times a week and man it's almost more fun teaching it then actually kite. Would be fun to see my brother coming over for a session.
Will go and see him anyways on the eastcoast this summer. Do the trip from Sydney to ByronBay. That trip will be off the wall!
BUT first off I'll learn all these stuff at uni and get some grades that I can be proud off!

Proud man

2010-08-31T10:16:00.002+01:00

Hey whatzup..
Bam we're having one week of break from studies after 4 weeks on.
But it's actually the time to catch up on everything, and there is plenty to choose from :)
Just been doing 6 hours of intense writing in the library.
Just so f^$& proud. Would never been able to pull that off a year ago.
I thou think you become a bit retarded when you study this much haha.
Well, at least it's interesting.

We had some fun this morning. Me and a couple of friends went for a surf and when we got to the spot it was; raining, dark and cold. On top of that my wetsuit was all wet. For days like this we have one song that gets us out of the car...

I love being a man in Australia, doing my job and having fun
Sweet greetings from over here :D

Full on nerd

2010-08-08T01:15:00.004+01:00

Wooa'la I'm back in Perth

Uni has started and I'm getting nerdy for the next 4 months.
Got Biomechanics, Anatomy 2 and Physical Examination this semester.
In addition to that I'm on this volunteer program and will be teaching Maths and Biology to High School kids 2h a week.

I've been in the gym for 7 weeks and I squatted 5*5 at 92.5kg, breaking parallel two days ago.
I just recently started with power cleans to get more explosive, its a fun exercise.
Here is a pic from yesterday which I took with my new camera (finally).

There were over 50 guys in the small waves so I decided to get some fish instead

Starting training

2010-06-10T12:51:00.002+01:00

I've been training on and off for the last 4 years. Now it's time to stop messing the fuck around.
I was studying to my nutrition exam a few days ago and happen to pop in to his site.
It all made so much sense, especially because it rings with the stuff we have been studying this semester.

The guy talks about how he was training 5 days a week for 5 years. Yeah he was strong but still he wanted to be ripped and one day he got pissed off at it. He said no more bullshit.
He read up on nutrition again, books, journals everything.
After 3-4months of his new eating habits his body had changed.

To sum this stuff up, it's basically to eat whatever they ate 10.000 years ago. Cut the carbs out. this guy does not any grains such as oats and pasta. He swapped that for fat, vegetables, eggs and chicken. He writes about the two hormones leptin and insulin which I just have been reading about and it makes sense.

About the training, it's still the same as when Arnold was working out. You gotta SHOCK that muscle, never just train and relax, FOCUS and you should be wasted coming home from a run or from the gym.

He says that eating like this is cheaper then it use to be and quicker. Great, more time for studies. Haha it's funny how you Bitten has been eating like this for a couple of years and I've told you you need some rice and pasta.
I feel mislead and I'm pissed ;)

Wadup

2010-06-06T07:39:00.004+01:00

I spent this morning by having my daily porridge which is so lovely with just that touch of vanilla protein powder. After that I'm set.
The sky was all blue and it felt like a spring day in Sweden.
My room was fresh, my bed made and my desk clean.

I decided I wanted to have a coffee this Sunday morning in central Freo. This girl came with me, we talked about tall people, huge calves and just weird stuff.
I'm so glad I can start my day in this way and I always want to be able to.
When we were done she ran off to work and I walked back home.

This is Dome in Freo (To the left)

Now I've done 2 hours of studying and it feels really good. I'm hungry for learning again.
One thing that I just found out was that all your wee comes straight out of your blood, yep that's right. The blood is filtered all the time and your wee comes from nowhere else but your blood.
So when you're drinking piss (AusEnglish: piss= beer) your blood fills up with fluid and at the same time it's being filtered so there is no net buildup of blood.

Yesterday I really understood for real how the SA node really work. It is a cluster of cells in your right atria which depolarizes and re polarizes by itself, just chemical gradients and channels that open and closes. This Node is in itself influenced by the para and sympathetic nervous systems in times when the heart needs to beat slower or faster.

It's so cool how all the body system works. The coolest and almost unbelievable idea is that it didn't put all this together out of a blueprint, it did it by trial and error!
But ye it took a few years to do it. I wonder what motivated _____ to keep going or maybe maybe it was just God and his boys who did it ;)

Okay back to work, Jalla

Study whine

2010-06-05T10:41:00.002+01:00

Some days I wonder if I'm insane and wonder how everyone else cope with it.
Today is Saturday and it seems like just as yesterday evening I'll be home studying.

I know that even though everything feels shit right know I'm doing it because this is what I wanted to do and when it's all over I can laugh at it. It doesn't feel that overwhelming when I write about it but in some moments it is shit.

I good way of studying that a friend taught me a few years ago is to set an alarm and within that time you have to study and only study. He was the guy that kinda pushed me to become a Chiro. He himself had become a Medical doctor.

Okay, I'ma make food now with some cheeeeese oon baby

Exam times

2010-05-25T08:27:00.003+01:00

Sweet, it feels like I somehow got this study thing now.
Since I cut out facebook one and a half month ago I've been getting the best grade (HD) on almost every test and presentation. It's really ridiculous how much more I've learned and how much more effective I'm at studying these days.

Like today, studying for the exams, I would never be able to pull off a 10h day immersed in my studies. Every time I would be just a bit tired or unfocused I would go onto facebook and quickly check what everyone else was doing and if anyone had given me any comments.

Luckily its just me who use to have this facebook addiction ;)
But cutting it out is not for everyone I think, many people can deal with it much better then I could. But if you can't then do as I did.
My room mate still logs me in two times a week.

I do think that when you're studying with such an intensity you have to get out and do something fun otherwise you go mental or become really boring.
Today my fun will be running intervals and then have cheap pizza with some friends.

Hey can anyone comment on how good my written English has become?
LASSEEEEEeeee....show me you know how to write a comment please

I hope I never become more serious in real life then the silly retard I am because we are all going to die some day! pow

1 week

2010-05-22T10:18:00.002+01:00

Til our first Anatomy exam. Will be cool, feels good since I've been doing lots of work the last couple of weeks.
It feels like I got that study rhythm from last semester back but x2

I've been getting good grades on everything lately even some exceptional ones.
I've also been in the clinic observing a Chiropractor at our clinic. It was very interesting and inspirational to see what we have in front of us. It really makes me wanna know everything and have top grades, cuz you see then you can really have fun when you know you have done the best you could. At the same time the studies become so much more fun if you become more nerdy when you study.

To another topic, yesterday the end-of-semester party was held. I was sober since I was about to go down to our Dean and observe him this morning.

However I got this stupid idea to climb up onto a roof. I jumped up onto a brick wall and from there jumped and tried to grab the roof and I grabbed it but slipped and fell uncontrollably into the concrete. I ended up with a bruise on my forehead and well sore arms.

I went down for x-rays this morning but everything was fine puh-
I even got a medical certificate that states that I'm unable to write with my left hand since I'm a lefty, some painkillers which I haven't taken since I don 't wanna blur my mind in exam times.

/I'm going to nail these exams

Hypnotized

2010-05-19T01:29:00.002+01:00

Today my uni. got this hypnotist show going on.
I was there last year watching and it was nuts.
Two hours of people giving birth on stage, crying, pretending to be James Bond catching KGB agents in the audience HAHA I will never forget the night.
I had a lots of fun and laughed so much.

Tonight I'm going to be hypnotized and I've set it up so that my friend will record everything on my video camera.

Before that (in 4h) we have our last mid-exam. Its about renal, respiratory and GI tract. Quite some interesting things.

Back to work :)

getting ma squids on

2010-05-08T11:35:00.002+01:00

No one can understand how much I'm studying right now.
Had 1h off today and landed my first tantrum2blind which is a pretty cool trick I've been working on for a while, stoked!
Now I'm about to get another hour in before a masquerade party.

Work Hard
Play Hard

Coffe break

2010-05-04T03:57:00.004+01:00

It's funny how almost everyone in this world are addicted to coffee and that the one's who doesn't drink it, have no clue :)My new board

And this is a few days ago with my old one, ready to tear some waves apart.

Feels like I don't do anything else then studying and having my morning surf and this is exactly how I want it!

Inspiring

2010-04-23T05:47:00.003+01:00

We have four units this semester (in Swedish termin).
Anatomy being the hardest one. I have heard a lot, but a fail rate of 35% is one of them. That means that 7 out of 20 fails this unit and has to do another year.
That's massive if it's true. OKAY I'm not going to be one of them.

Today our Dean of Chiropractic School lectured for us. It was so inspirational how he told us that to get MJ* good you should palpate 10 spines a day for the rest of your life.
* MichaelJordan

He screened Martin, it semed so simple. He spoke about how we are doing non-surgical operations with our hands on every patient (don't quote that word by word please).
HE said that you can pay the money, pass the units and get out of here in 5 years, get a job and probably get a few patients.
BUT if you want, you can dedicate yourself to this just like a sports star dedicate himself to his sport and play in the Olympics.
It is easy to play the piano, almost anyone can do it but if you want to play a concert you have to like it, dedicate yourself to it, put lots and lots of time into it and only then something of value will come out of it.

I have to confess that I've been kinda skeptic to this whole "chiropractic" thing.
It was so weird that one person with skills could actually, locate the problem and treat it and a person with no skill just giving a massage could not. When I'm reading it, it's not that weird actually. Especially not since I've learned a little bit of anatomy over here.

The skepticism starts to vanish the more I learn I guess. I do think its a good thing being a bit skeptic to it. I really start to like that our School is pro evidence based chiropractic. In the beginning I didn't like it. Probably since my dad use leaches and all kinds of magic but HEY I do think that there is a lot of wisdom and techniques out there that really works but too many people are trying to make money out of it without really knowing what they do. Then one bogus-Chiropractor can make it sour for everybody. To be a serious profession you got to be able to back it up with a bit of evidence, which should not even be that hard if it works HEY.
One of the things I want to implement when I start practicing is to explain to the patients what is wrong with them and what I'm doing so in that way I can teach every patient at the same time.

I still have a bit of skepticism in myself and I think that is a good thing since there has been and is probably going to be a bit of bogus within the profession. But I guess that goes with every profession, from dentists to car-mechanics. I do think that the big bulk of people are smart (I hope at least) and that they can smell out a un-honest car-mechanic from an honest one. One that actually enjoys repairing cars and therefore doesn't see it as a means to make money Of course it's important to make money but if you enjoy what you do that will not be priority number one and in that way the standard will be much higher.

HE also said while showing us, how you screen a patient for soft tissue tension or a misaligned vertebrae. You then correct it and when you screen the patient again that vertebrae should be corrected, otherwise you shouldn't be paid.
He said that the patient might be in more pain afterward. But that is just the nature of the beast.

He also said that it is possible to drive down to Rockingham and observe him in his clinic on Saturday mornings. In may (about 3 weeks) I'll try to get a few hours of observation time with him. I'm looking forward to this but before that, I want to have my anatomy down as well as 10spines a day.

So with having said that I'm going home to study Anatomy now but I'll still go for a surf early tomorrow morning :)

Have a good weekend, don't drink and drive and be happy - don't worry.

Peace

Continuation

2010-04-18T09:59:00.003+01:00

So don't know if I've written about it or not but I had some thought's today.

I got the Faculty Deans award for being the student who aggregated his marks the most from first to second semester in year 1. Well this isn't much worth if the effort I put in last semester isn't continuously improved. Yeah it is worth 250dollars in fact. TWOOOHUNDRED50 dollars.

This semester, first one of the second year has not been as good. I've had a bad feeling about this and was unable to figure out what it was. It eventually hit me.

I don't know about you, but I can't handle it. Nope. To me its just so damn addictive.
I've not logged onto it for 5 days and it makes such a big difference. It sounds like a small problem but it has been a peaceful couple of days. You don't need it.
I will still log onto it 2 days a week to answer emails. Uhh actually Anne my room mate logs me on, she's got the password.

This came in great time because its only 5 weeks left and its time to start study for our exams. Which begins in 6 weeks so from now on there's no alcohol or internet wasting.
I'll still go surfing, gym and go out and have fun with friends but I think that these stuff will benefit me in the long run.

Hahaha but everyone can talk, we now that, especially if you go to university ;)
We just have to wait and see how my grades turn out but it slowly feels like I'm growing up.
Will be cool to fly home and observe my dad during the summer, teach him a thing or two ;)
Haha don't think so yet but it'll be far more interesting since I know a few muscles and bones in the body by now.

G'day mate

2010-03-27T06:37:00.002+01:00

Went for a surf with Eric and two dutch girls this morning up at Trigg point.
We were a bit late so the wind had already kicked in. Was all fun anyways.

The house is filling up and we meet our last room mate today, a 37 year old circus artist. She is so chilled out and the rest of the people as well.

This weekend is just about studying and surfing in the morning just as I want it.

Funny stories from Bali

2010-03-07T05:40:00.005+01:00

These trips disappears out of your memory so fast so I want to write some about how it is here.
Will update this post regularly til Sunday when I put up my pics.

DAY 1 Friday--------------------------------

Arrived at 2 pm. with Mish nd Nick.
I get to the luggage pickup and some balienesean guy picks up my surfboard and start carrying towards the exit I'm like fine, he takes it thru customs and for those 30meters he wants 50kr. I'm LMAO (laughing my ass off) and we agrees on 10kr.
Nick is laughing so much by now that I got hustled.
A minute later someone is carrying Nick's bag a few meters and Nick has to pay 35kr for that, my time to laugh.

It says that you're supposed to pay 25kr to Kuta.
The driver will not drive us for less then 50kr plus that he wants 40kr extra cuz I'm bringin a surfboard. Yeahyeah we pay him and I'm telling him that he's the best hustler I've ever met.

We find a cheap hotel for 80kr a night. After a quick meal I head down to Kuta beach to try some waves out. Man I was impressed over the waves even thou the closed out fast. So easy to catch, another thing then Perth. The rain is pouring down but no one cares. Most surfers are Balinesean. They are screaming, go,,go,,go..!!!
Nick comes out after a while with a longboard and catch his first few waves.
We're stoked.

We do some shopping because I came with nothing, zero, just my board and two books in my boardbag. We have dinner and talk with some people about the surf and are in bed by 11pm.

DAY 2 Saturday-----------------------------------------

We hear that the waves were going to be crappy this morning so we sleep in and then we rent some motorbikes. Our plan is to head down to Dreamland a 30min trip.
Shesus after 50meters the police pull me over. I think it's funny. He wants 100kr for some un correct turn and then another 50 for not having a international drivers license. I'm laughing and think the whole thing is pretty funny, manages to get it down to 100kr total and heads on. 10minutes later there's another cop pulling me over. Guy wants to see my driver's license.
First time was fun now its just getting expensive. The police man tries it a bit and I get kinda angry, yells at him that he can call his friends in Kuta and that I'm not paying anything more today, he just go,,go,,go..!!! (almost like the surfers)

Driving a scooter here felt funny in the beginning, luckily I did scooterDriving101 and 201 when I was a teenager. We get to Dreamland beach and there's no wave what so ever, just a big beachdump. We decide to head back to Legian which is just beside Kuta. When we get back I start talking to some guys, they're Swedish. They ask me if I wanna join to "Saronga?" tomorrow morning.

I head down to Legian beach and catch so many waves, no long runs but stoked anyways.
After that we head out to town to eat and then in bed by 9pm. Bought quite a few Bin-Tang shirts, they're selling stuff everywhere here.

DAY 3 Sunday ---------------------------------------------------

Waking up a 5:05 and have a few bananas and get myself ready to go.
Its pitch dark, walk over to the Swedish guys room and we head towards Saronga.
Drunk guys and girls are walking home with beers. We get there and its quite far out, but hey it looks good. The biggest ones are just over a man tall.
We get out there and after a while I catch one. It's a reef break and there's waves a bit here and there no consistency really.
We're in there til 9am and the guys are really good catching many waves, I get 4 waves and one being really good.

Have some breacky at the beach and then head home, sees Nick studying and I sit down and do the same for an hour. This afternoon we're getting out to Airport reef.

Getting out to airport left it look so good. I paddle into the waves with no hesitation, getting caught by the current and end up in the middle of a big set.
I'm getting tumbled again and again. Got so tired that I had to rest for almost an hour. My shoulders and back are full of lactate.
With the last 45min to go I manage to catch some waves. Biggest ones I've caught I guess.

Day 4 Monday----------------------------------------

Was meant to go to Serangen but lay awake til 12.30 and then I cancel it.
The other guys end up being to tired I realize at breakfast the next morning.
Goes for a short paddle with Nick at lunchtime after a few hours of study.
Hit up Airport left in the afternoon and the waves are a bit weak and choppy, catch some of them.
In the evening we head out for some beers with our neighbours and I get drunk, ohh yeah well fun.

Day 5 Tuesday---------------------------------------

Hangover in the morning, went for a session at Legian beside Kuta, was small tiny waves but it was all great. Studies during the day and at 4 I give it another go.
The swell has increased a bit, mostly close out but end up surfing with some American dude named Coper and we have some fun til the sun is down.
This evening I've been studying and tonight we're supposed to have a big night out otherwise its time for Serangan tomorrow morning

Vad hander dar hemma i Sverige?

Jag aker till Bali med nagra svenska vanner och och tjej i klassen pa fredag om 2 dagar.
Sa nice, bara surfa, yoga och ata mat ska det bli.
Har pluggat sa frenetiskt nu de 3 forsta veckorna och det kanns antligen som man borjar fa en oversikt pa det. Men har failat mina forsta 2 anatomy quizzes vilket kanns kasst.
Men har kommit langt med alla grupparbeten och fortjanar Bali for jag har iaf. suttit inne och pluggat 3 veckor i streck.

Anne drog med mig pa Bikhram yoga haromdagen, annorlunda grej.
Dom hettar upp ett rum till 40 grader och sa kor man hard yoga pa det i 90min.
Senast vi var dar inne blev Reef dalig efter halva tiden och fick bryta.

Kanns riktigt bra det har med kiropraktor plugget, shesus vad vissa i klassen ar smarta, det galler att hanga med sa bra det gar, dom kan ju inte gora natt annat an att plugga vilket ar respektabelt pa sitt satt.

Ska bli kul att se hur Bali vagorna ar, jag har gjort lite research ikvall.
Dreamland beach ska tydligen vara natt som ar battre an Kuta.

Har suttit sa lange med en labb rapport som skulle skrivas fardigt ikvall. Den ar nastan klar men kan inte fa det att stamma riktigt och andra i klassen jag ringt har liknanade problem, maste lamna in den imorgon plus en 3 dagars food diary jag gjort.

Jag ar sjuk igen, undra om immunforsvaret maste byggas opp igen nar man flyttar till ett nytt land, plugga ar jag skit trott pa. Varfor blir man trott pa det just nar det ar exam times?
Jaja galler att sitta och forsoka enda for att man lar sig ju iallafall att sitta still och forsoka.

Men jag ar sjukt sugen pa att surfa sa pa onsdag ska vi ivag och kora.

Zach 18ar kom just forbi och beratta att han och nagra till i klassen hade haft en redig fyll hos sig och dom hade bjudit in en lecturer och han hade vart sa full sa han somnat ute.

I've been kinda sick since Friday, lost my voice but still gave a kite lesson on Saturday, almost in sign language. I've started teaching with a cool crew here.
Yesterday I had 5 bowls of popcorn and studied from 8am to 8pm and then I was ready for bed.
This week will be rainy and shitty weather, perfect then I can study without being distracted.

The secret with uni

2009-10-28T04:18:00.003+01:00

As I and probably many people believed, the less work you putted into school the more time you would have to do "fun stuff", your grades would'nt be the best but you would pass if you struggled some.

But the thing is that if you just put in some extra work then you will be able to understand what the lecturer is talking about, which means that you pick up on so much more stuff during the lecture. You can actually ask legitimate questions that are relevant.

You don't have to be nervous before a test because you know you've done your best and that is the only thing you can do.
I received a few good tips in the beginning of this semester. One was to write questions to myself and write the answers to them. When I got that tip I sighed and thought that that was just a little bit too much for me.

Even though it seems like hard work to do all that writing its actually a faster way (for me) to get things into head. So even thou it seemed like harder work it became a more efficient way to learn and it got me way better grades.

Questions can be dumb as well because its to myself I am asking them.
* What is a kidney?
* What does it do?
* What is a glomeruli and how does it work?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't fall behind and ask your self if you've done the work.

Then will have plenty of time for all the "fun stuff" and you will feel so much more entitled to do it. If you know the feeling on Friday afternoon after a hard week at work, it's spring and the sun shines through, then you know the feeling.

Do whatever you're doing properly and enjoi

Monday

2009-10-12T07:36:00.004+01:00

Monday today, woke up 5.30 ate a banana and a can of tuna in the car och picked up the crew on the hill.

Bjarte was so tired so even the I whipped her with a towel she would'nt get up.
She screamed at me and was mad and she appropriately apologized to me in school a few hours later ;)

Two weeks ago I gave them a hand when they were moving to their new place (which it looks like I am moving into). They gave me this TRASHED surfboard.
It needed a few and another 10 patches.

It was about the right size for me though so I put some fibreglas and a new fin on it and it turned out pretty good.
I've got to the point that I catch most of the waves with my big 8.7 foot board.
Today I tried out this 6.6 board, it was almost like starting out on square one.
Caught a few ones but fell off when I tried to stand up.

Ohh and a PS. my life look just all fun but noone sees when I am studying the sunny days and have to turn down everything else or when I wake up at 6am just to get into my books. I have nothing to do at home else then studying so when I am home I am "always" studying so when there is some swells or wind I have earned to get out there.

2009-09-25T06:38:00.004+01:00

I got a tripod the other day of e-bay sent from Hongkong.

Tried it out

First up is Anna, Martins sister and room mate. Then the view almost from where our house is and then I am down in Freo a quiet Monday afternoon and then there's some shots from last weekend behind the boat, nothing fancy but can anyone figure out where I got the lyrics from

I ripped out my inserts today. I get a new board on the warranty so it should be ready to pickup in the coming week.

Was bad until I rode home in my car and had to push my brake hard since the cars in front of me had stopped in the middle of the street, I see this girl coming behind me, she is able to stop behind me but the car behind her isnt able to so I can see the girls head whipping and I have to keep driving, can see them diving off to the side and gush I hope she was okey, looked nasty.

So keep your distance peeps

I had a lil sweet sesh on Woodies last weekend. Where I was perfectly powered on my 9.
Did some huge 5m Tantrums and even landed one to blind.

WICKED

There's a wakeboard camp coming up that I am joining so hopefully the blind thing behind the boat, I am trying it out in 2 weeks

yo dude

2009-09-18T06:40:00.002+01:00

Got my ronix out on the water yesterday for a test ride.
Had a bit of concerns top start with since they were STIFF compared to my used LF bindnings. But after 10 minutes we were in love.
Finally I got those inverted front2blinds. Got some on films as well and the guy is going to put it up somewhere.

Heard a funny thing yesterday.

- You're always so lucky with our test, always guessing right

(Always when you hear that stuff you know you're on the right track ;)

Ok I am off to a busy weekend now

2009-09-11T06:33:00.002+01:00

Have to be home and do some study today

Tomorrow there is a great chance that I will be totally smashed

Nicklas is coming back and there will be a group and yes I guess everybody is going for a session during the day, the wind looks really good. Sweet

I ordered a Canon lens and I am about to build my own DOF (depth of focus) adapter.
So that I can get a blurry background but still a clear foreground with my videocamera.

ronix

2009-09-07T05:02:00.002+01:00

YES I just ordered the boots. Mainly because I got a full time instructor job :)

And also because I was having such a sick session on Saturday. Woodies is on.
Yes can´t describe it to you if you werent there.
Sick shit, will get the camera going and the kicker will be built.

I am sick as shit but had to go to school cuz we had a group assignment that I had organized, I am in the library and got 40 degress.

Off to pickup Anna, MArtins sister at the airport and then get some sleepy sleepy time

Kickern

2009-09-02T02:50:00.001+01:00

Seems like I am getting somewhere with the kicker.

Has to be at least 4,5m in length and 120cm wide.
A small inclined.

Built with pipes on a thin wooden base. Yes this will happen

Yes mum I am studying hard :P

I also had a sweet session behind the pier at Woodies yesterday. Did an inverted fron2blind which I have been having problems with since I have a hard doing them inverted fronts but I like them so much. Just saw a video before I went out with those init so wanted to try em out.

I'm in school now, doing some research for an hour and then I am about to hit Woodies with Sci and prolly some more peeps.

Ohh yeah I bought a new car. More to fix on then I realized but it was an upgrade for only 100dollar so I am still happy with it. Boght it cuz there is flowers on the hood of it :p It's a white ford falcon.

Today I feel like doing some huge backrolls nd try unhooked grabs

Vaknade klockan 7 och det ar helt bla himmel. Tar inte ens pa mig natt, bara slanger in vatdrakten i bilen och surfbradan pa taket.

Kor de 10 minutrarna till Leighton beach och hoppar i. Inte manga har, 10st pa sin hojd. Alltid kul att hora efter vad de ar for nagra som ligger har ute en tisdags morgon. Alla som hamnar har brukar vara ratt lustiga (grov generalisering)

En jobbar som lecturer pa Curtin men dom har lov den har veckan, han undervisar Art. Jobbigt liv sager han och skrattar sta och visa hur man malar.
Sen kommer fina vagen, maste vart den basta for dagen och jag catchar den.

Det ar sa varmt ute att jag bara tar av mig vatdrakten, kanner hur solen steker pa mig. Satter mig utan klader i bilen satter pa musik och kor hem och fattar inte hur jag hamnade har.

Skona kanslan av att jag hela kvallen innan suttit och forberett skolan infor dagen gor att jag kan relaxa och stoppa i mig en banan. Tar en 2minuters dusch och cyklar ivag till skolan och kommer i tid...SWEET

Cells are living in an aqueous solution (H2O).
The cell membrane however is made of a double lipid layer. Where the Polar head is made up of a charged group and its tail that connects with the other lipid is negative.
The tail consists of a hydrocarbon chain. Water molecules are so small that they can go right through the bilayer.
But molecules can’t go through it. Molecules and especially ions can be helped by a protein. The protein creates a channel in the membrane in which the molecule or ion can pass through.
Atoms link together to create molecules. They are considered inorganic so far.
For example Amino acids link together to form proteins which in turn creates parts of the DNA, membrane and so on which then create membrane and chromosomes. The next step is organelles within the cell and the final step is the cell.
It cracks me up (almost as much as Ali.G) to have a vague understanding of how we are built up, from the smallest atoms into molecules -> amino acids -> proteins -> DNA and organelles -> cells -> organs -> and humans.

It seems automatic. The blueprint was certainly not available 1 billion years ago. But today, small atoms form molecules because they have different valence electrons and so that’s where we have the amino acids. And they form into proteins, which in turn… yea you get it.

And when do these tiny atoms actually start to become aware of them selves, like our brain. It's wicked to read about this stuff.
Like some of it is so smart and well functioned that it’s straight out ridiculous.
Who came up with this?

Small tiny atoms and molecules that just could test their way forward they did’nt have any science lab and they don’t even have eyes or a brain for that sake.

If a tree comes out of one cell. Could we look at that cell and see that 12,4m above the ground the first branch will be at an angle of x,y.

How much information is actually in the DNA?

The tree is depending so much on its nutrition, solar hours and so on and on.

Well it must be the same with humans, we are born but the DNA just don't do that much?
(Question mark because that's just me guessing)

I asked my lecturer and we agreed on the fact the we actually don''t know how much that is inherited from the DNA and what's environmental factors.

/Some late night writing after a long reading session

Not 3dited or anythang but it was just for my self to get my head around what I just read

Be critical

2009-08-13T06:14:00.002+01:00

I had a discussion with some close friends the other day about what kind of chiro, doctor, lecturer, classmate or professor we did NOT want to have.

The person who is always right and always have an answer to every question even if he doesn’t know the answer.
A person who just talks,,, WITHOUT being critical to his sources or his way of understanding them.

Say you ask him if the foetus is sharing blood with the mother. He starts rambling on the subject even thou he does not know and when you tell him that you’ve just read up on the subject and you to tell him your opinion he just wont consider it.

I think it’s very unprofessional to not be able to say that you don’t know or that you cant be a 100% sure about this and that you have to look it up.

Many sources are unreliable, 50% of what we learn at uni. will be gone in a couple of years they keep telling us.

Realise that no source is a 100% and that is why you can’t hold on to your point of view with a 100% certainty.
It is possible that you might have misunderstood them.

Please be critical to everything and chill out.

And yes its okay to be wrong but in a school situation it's not that important to be right, rather say what you know and be open for a discussion.

2h

2009-08-03T03:08:00.002+01:00

2h to takeoff, already been picked on cuz my class mates has had 2 classes already.

Well whatever I did my first Tantrum and Nils landed his first frontflip

Last weeko in Sweden

2009-07-27T14:58:00.002+01:00

Its Monday, in a week I am 10,000ft up in the air.

Tomorrow morning I will go on yet another trip to Herrljunga. Which will be very relaxing. Will stay there for a couple of days eating blueberries and just njoing.

After that I will make it out to Öland for my last two days with Fiffster, Lukas, Dimi and the rest of the Öland crew. Will be damn nice since I am hooked on riding kickers and sliders and they got some stuff over there. Also be nice to see Fiffster which I have´nt seen this summer.

Right now my mum is screaming at me to jump in the car, I gotta go help her out.
After that I am off to the secret spot for some blueberry picking

Landskrona Shallow Water Festival

2009-07-14T18:26:00.004+01:00

Last Wednesday I jumped on the train to Goteborg. After a 45min pizza-stop with Linda in Herrljunga I meet up with my ex-flat mate and long time friend Linda and Nils.

I slept at Nils 18sqm apartment. You soon realize that he is a dedicated Kite and Wake rider. He got ton´s of gear from years back. It´s good to have if you ever need spare parts and I agree with him.

We slept after watching some nice movies and woke up early and took off to Landskrona for the competition.

It was gusty and it was 3 months since I kited the last time + I had been edging in the cablepark for almost 10 days so it was a bit sketchy. Did´nt land much in my heats.
Instead my leash broke in both my heats and I had to run for my kite.

Anton won both stairs today. He has really improved even thou he was good back then but this year was crazy. He does so many tricks, powered.
He threw such a nice grabbed KGB.
Grabs looks so damn nice, that´s what I am going to start to implement.

Next morning the wind came from another direction. Much smoother. I went out and did two back2wrapped in a row, another three s2blind´s.

My first heat was unfortunately against Nils. I landed a powered s2blind r2blind och some backrolls and I came out as the winner.
Next heat was against Calle. I think I actually did´nt land much against him maybe a r2blind but he had a really bad heat and did´nt land a thing so I won this one aswell.
In the final it was me against Martin who has won a couple of comps.
The wind was stronger and we had to be on out 9´s.

I think he had a bad heat, it was choppy and shallow. I landed some basic tricks and managed to throw a clean s2blind with lots of speed and I did´nt see Martin Land anything so I came out as the winner. SICK sheit I was stoked.

For the last stair Anton was clearly in the lead and me and Martin was just behind with the same point.
In the Semi I was up against Martin again. It was light wind. I borrowed Anton´s 16m and Martin was on his 15m. It was epic.

The yellow flag came up and after 3 seconds I landed what felt was a nice b2wrapped good speed away and everything. I went again and landed a R2blind, after I went for a powered s2blind but I crashed even thou it felt so good.
Landed one afterwards but crashed a b2blind and another back2wrapped.

Martin did a superheat and landed around 5 handlepasses including a powered kiteloop handlepass and he was the winner. Felt good anyways that I had done my best.

Was cool to see all the boot riders Dre, Pepä, Claes, Neven and Nils.
To me it just looks 1000x better with boots. It´s good thou that people are pushing this shit in different directions but I clearly know what I think looks better.
I hope more of the talents down there put them on, It´s so much comfier (and cooler ;)

Thank you Skånepågar for throwing such cool parties and Sourra for the Scoop sticker.

Flying back

2009-06-17T12:55:00.002+01:00

On Saturday I had a pre party fr my class that became pretty wild. We went to Metro, which was pumping. I mean heaps of people this night.

I woke up on Sunday at 12.15 by a text from Martin asking me when it was okey to get down to a cleaned house. I got up and began cleaning up yesterday’s beer bottles.

About 3 weeks ago Malin and I realized that we were booked in on the same flight from Perth to London. The trip went so much faster with some company.

After a day on the road at London’s airport our planes where delayed. Malin was flying to Oslo and her plane was before mine. She got on her plane at last and I sat back waiting for mine which was now 1,5 hours late.

I considered calling my parents since they were supposed to travel by car for 2,5 hours to pick me up. Well a bit before it was about to depart they canceled the plane!!!
I ring my parents up and they had been driving for almost two hours. I felt sorry for them but there was nothing one could do.

We all went to get our baggage and for rebooking. It took us many hours but finally we were on a bus to Radisson’s 4 star hotel. During this time I had met another Swede, Peter. They booked us in to the same room. We also met Paulo Roberto and his film crew, they had been in Italy to record his show Primo Paulo.

We went down to the hotel bar to have a look for some fun but it was not that interesting. A whole bunch of people from Stuttgart who were in the same seat as us.
We went to bed and this next morning we used the breakfast buffet voucher’s to get ourself filled up. ☺ Respect for providing free internet over at Radisson.

At the airport in London we got meal tickets for 15pounds so I’ve had a lot of good sushi today, a bit too much :D

BMS exam

2009-05-30T05:57:00.002+01:00

Our toughest exam starts in 1 hour. I meet people in our class with red eyes and sacks under their eyes. Me myself am a bit dizzy. Mostly because of this shit sickening thing I've got.

I went down to my local pharmacist this morning and described my problems. I wanna get rid of this mucous in my throat asap.

As a friend told me this morning. You don't go to the gym the same day as your weight lifting competition is. We will see if it's a good thing or not.

I think we all will be doing pretty okey on this one, just an hour left and I want to chill during this hour.

BMS / Introduction to Human Body

PS. Yeah it felt bigger when I was up there ;)

Semester 1 completed

2009-05-20T12:12:00.002+01:00

I remember the initiation week. And now its week 14 or something.
It's Wednesday today and Friday is our last day with lectures, after that it's just the one week study break and then the two weeks of exams.

Lots of studying a head now but that's fun, for the most part. I get to learn so much especially before a test. I have learnt heaps since I came here.

Writing essays for example. I got 27% on my first one (You need 50% to pass) And today I got 55% on my second one, without anyone proof reading it.

Well I will hopefully pass all my units and hopefully get a HG (High distinction 80%) in chemistry. My big problem is my writing, my Swedish accent is all good ;)

I bought a surfboard and I can actually turn a bit and go with the wave, catching it and standing up is a piece of cake.

Looking forward to a summer in Sweden

Biking is awesome, especially when you're not in a hurry and the sun is shining

Eating, eating and eating

2009-05-20T11:16:00.002+01:00

It feels like many people in western society think about food, A LOT.
Food is everywhere and still, some people are obsessed with it.

I mean, it´s good to keep track on what you are eating. There is so much junk food out there, so you better watch out.
But it seems like as soon as you start thinking about what you’re putting in your mouth it has no stop to how much you can think about it.

Since the mind is always thinking about it. It becomes a big thing. People should instead try to listen more to their bodies actual need instead of their minds.

I just wanted to have that out of the way. What I want to write about is the error I see people do, that make me cry (not really but you get it).

CARBOHYDRATES..buhhh….buhh.buu..bu….
The big bad carbohydrate that is turning you into a fat monster.

You feel good after your training session.
You are feeling that you’re on the right track, that you’re getting more fit and you don’t want to destroy the feeling by putting *!”€#&%/carbohydrates in your body.

If you really hate carbohydrates. It’s on one occasion where I really want you to eat them. It is post training. (post= after) The body makes use of them immediately.

If you ever want to live a more balanced life where you don’t have to think so much about what you are eating, do yourself the favour and eat carbohydrates after you have been to the gym, been running or whatever you do when you’re working out. Don’t go to bed after a one hour session and tell me you ate 3 hours ago.

If you do, it will come back to you and you will never be able to live that jingYang lifestyle.

1-2 grams carbohydrate per kg is recommended post training. If you weigh 70kg’s you should eat approximately 100grams of carbs. That is 1/5 of a typical spaghetti package (Not in America of course).

I am not an expert in nutrition so don’t take what I write to seriously but do consider it. You will feel much better during the day and the day after if your body get its deserved carbs after training.

I morse på Trigg beach, woohoo surfing. There was a couple of dolphins a 20 meter outside of the line up, 90% of us went in, I was one of them but just for a couple of minutes til the danger was cleared.

Me and Benn posing
Another sick day in school. This day goes to the history.
Elin and I at Scarborough some early morning before school this week. Same day as above.

Lasse, can you please figure out how to comment and make a comment.

Schoolio

2009-04-22T06:06:00.002+01:00

On Thursday tomorrow we are having our mid semester exam. It is about human anatomy, human body evolution, cells and tissues, organs of the body and probably some more stuff. Well I really need to study now. It´s 9pm (That´s in the evening)
I was off in school at 11.30 am today and was about to study, got stuck on one of the computers til 2pm. Internet is so damn addictive to me it´s not even funny.
I am so glad that I don’t have it at home. Sometimes you miss it because it´s something you want to look up on wikipedia or something. But you get used to it.
I am actually studying when I get home, and pretty efficient. It´s not like last fall when I was checking Facebook or Surfzone every five minutes.

Well I came home and was about to study. Laurenz texted me and said it was windy at Woodies and said I should meet him there in 10minutes. I just cannot say no to that so I ate my spaghetti and took off. Laurenz was filming the whole thing. Anders also came down just a bit after when I said it was windy. We had a really cool session were I landed my first invertedfront2Blind.
Was stoked to show Anders the raley2wrapped I learned yesterday even thou my hand was sore due to me for the first time putting the rope between my middle fingers. Gotta make that scar tissue grow between your fingers haha.

Some things I have done in the last weeks that increased my riding skills is.

Shorten the lines to 20meters – Cannot believe why I have not done this before. Everything is just better this way except that it takes a few meters extra to get going fast but as soon as you get going you are all fine.

Having the rope in between my fingers – Seriously just do it if your kite is not staying in the same spot. It takes max ten raleys and then it feels normal.

Listen and looking at the guys in the snowkite movie Dimensions and their crashes. You have actually no excuse to not go more powerful when you are doing flat water tricks and its pretty deep water. Ask JohanW if you can excuse yourself when its 10cm of water.

And yes Anders the damn power machine was also trying Raley2wrapped and he passed the bar in the air!...Twice what I could see.
Unfortunately he did not stick anyone of them today.

1. I got no reflexes in my knees?
2. Neanderthals existed just 30.000 YA. Its not that long ago if you think that Christ was around 2000YA
3. Humans lost a gene that Chimpanzees still have which make their muscles 4-7 times stronger the humans.
4. In the ear there is this complicated thing and its walls are filled with sensitive cells. It contains fluid and register how the body is twisted.
5. Does the electron stop moving when we get down to absolute zero? (-273.15ºC)

Such a good day

2009-04-21T05:41:00.003+01:00

I was gonna be some southerly winds yesterday. I was push biking home at two.
I was on the water at 3 or 3.30
There was some small kicker waves coming in on woddies.
Managed to do two flat3's over them, super funny.
also landed my first raley2wraps. They are in the movie.

Woodmans sessions

People all over are making so good movies now check these ones out www.onshore.se
Stoked to see that everyone is doing so good. Will soon be coming some videos of Anders up aswell. That guy goes with so much power into his tricks, especially his mobes. He needs a bigger board and a pair of boots now.

Catcha Later

Popcorn

2009-04-13T07:16:00.004+01:00

My Stomach is rumbling, I have to have some popcorn.
Just got back from uni today on Easter Monday. I finally handed in my Chiro essay which is due tomorrow. Felt good but I have no idea what I will get for it. It was about Chiropractic history its rifts and solutions to it.

While we are talking about popcorn. Everybody in the house is now eating popcorn. It´s the ultimate food. When we get back late in the night everybody is having popcorn (Credit Vick) and Milk (Credit Mike)
We had such a night on Saturday night. We had been at the Casino nightclub. Laura, Mike, Danni and I came home. Unfortunately we managed to wake Allie and Martin up. Allie was hit by a car a few days ago and is not feeling to well. Our after popcorn party was not so suitable.

After four ours of sleep I managed to get up and on my way to Walters point.
Malin and Sunniva, Laurenz, Nick & Mish and several others were already there.
At 1.30 I was going home with my car and met Anders on the way in my car. He had just finished on his job and convinced me to go back and eat and come back for some filming.
I am so lucky I got back. We filmed a lot of cool shots were Anders is jumping over a group of japanese tourists. I also did everything.
YES - We are going to put together a movie.

Tomorrow evening Laurenz, Sunni, Malin and I are going on our first trip. Up to Geraldton. We be back at monday. Laurenz so badly wanna jump from his car down into the water, will be cool

Happy Easter everyone

It still turns...

2009-03-24T08:35:00.005+01:00

The other day I read a thing about Galileo Galilei.
He was put in front of the Roman Inquisition for having said that the earth was moving around the sun. The church did not like these thoughts.

He had to announce publicly that he had made a mistake and that the Earth was still the center of universe.

You can now call him a coward for recanting his words instead of facing the torture and eventually death. But he knew that it did not matter what he said.

Nothing could change that the world was not the center of the universe. He or the church could not say anything that would change that the Earth was not the center of the universe.

I would guess he was having a laugh for him self and there is roumors that he had said quietly at the end of the inquisition "it still turns"

2009-03-24T05:59:00.006+01:00

I am in the library. I am writing on my first essay.

Immortality, or a greatly increased lifespan, will be possible as disease is controlled and ageing understood. What will be the ramifications for humankind of eternal youth?

That´s my essay question. Feel free to post any comments on that I know that my brother Oskar got something to say about that. I guess people get wiser when they get older.

Today I am having problems to concentrate. I am trying to hide from everyone. So I can sit and read and write for myself. I can´t blame anyone for disturbing me though. It´s I who does´nt wanna do something. I feel deserved of that. BECAUSE we had our first two test yesterday.
Chemistry was easy for me as I did it last fall in Sweden. Chiro was a bit harder but that was not because lack of studying it was because I and Martin was studying every bone and muscle in the body when we should have been studying fitness programs, bmi and stuff like that.

I got 7/10 on my first quizz, Martin got 6/10. That gave me a good laugh. Not because I got more then him but because he got so pissed.

Well I should really do some stuff now and be effective because the wind is coming tomorrow.

I am putting up a picture of a Tomping lookálike and a picture of a Mexican boy
Can you see the similarity?

Movie nr 2

2009-03-17T15:17:00.002+01:00

Tried out some stuff with my camera. Nils is in there somewhere =)

Need to study NOW!

Rotto camp

2009-03-17T15:14:00.001+01:00

I wanted to go the foam party on my school on friday but everybody wanted to go to bed early so I phoned Laurenz. He was at a houseparty 20min from us.
Martin made me take my bike and go.
Good partystyle they´ve got here. Party had been on from 2AM, lot´s of fun people.
Ended upp staying there until 3PM!
Next morning it was time for the early Rotto-camp. Initiation for us 1st years.

Can´t really tell you much about what happended there. Lot´s of fun stuff what I have heard. They made us drink beer bong and have shot´s. Aussies can drink!

A scary thing though was that a guy got bitten by a shark like 200 meter away from us when we were the swimming. So today when I was kiting I kept close to the shore.

Oo yes I am eating my popcorn everyday. As my doctors tells me to do :)

Continuation

2009-03-11T14:47:00.012+01:00

Today me, Shane and Aaron decided to bring tequila to the party in Rottnest Island on Saturday. Could be pretty cool. We are gonna sleep over there. It´s a party for the Chiro students and I have heard rumours that UWA student are also going there.
On Friday there is a foam party for the whole school...wicked!

I am so thankfull that I got into Chiropractic and not sports science as I did from the start. My mates down here are into Sports science and they wanna be transferred the next year but just 1 out of 4 get´s transferred and they go strictly on your grades.
We had our first Chiro quiz today. Mark said it was going to be SOOOO easy but it was harder then I thought. I think I did okey on it with some luck ;)

On friday we have done our first four weeks in school and it´s time for our first school break. SPRING BREAK

Looks like it´s going to be wind 6/7 days so that will be nice. Will just go for a few hours per day though. Gotta study and I become so tired if I do full days.
Tomorrow will I go woodies with some people and film and on friday we are going to Safety Bay also to film.
I have this new thing I really want to learn. It´s a powered back2wrapped not passing just landing with speed and after 5 meters pop back. That looks so stylish I think and it´s not often you see kiters do that.

I repaired my board since my inserts were ripped out for the third time.

It´s holding together fine and I was teaching on it last week.
Virrans PRO kite school as Tove so nicely named it :)

My kiteschool is now up 20 dollar since my first two student crashed my kite and ripped it =/ Well there´s been more costs and I have gotten my paycheck.

After this studybreak on monday we have 2 assignments. One hour Chemistry and one hour Chi 109.

I my waken time goes to study. It's not always easy when all they do is speka english and they always take the big step forward in all subjects, we are suppose to know so much all the time.
The tempo at komvux i Gothenburg was a bit slower hehe.

How good everything gets

2009-03-03T14:29:00.002+01:00

Today I just realized when I was driving back home from the kite session how good everything is. This can be tough to hear when you´re walking in watery snow and freezing wind (not at the same time of course)

I live with 4 great flatmates. In a very nice house located where I always wanted to live, in an old hippie town. All my lectures and classes in school are interesting and after school I go out on butter flat water for a couple of hours.
Then I go home to study and on the weekends we go out.
It´s warm except in the morning were it gets a bit chilly but that´s alright.

Okey I just had to write this so sumtime in the future I can look back and remember how good things were.

PS. I landed another 20 back2wrapped today, it´s so got damn easy that my grandmother can do it. Just do it man.
1. Hold the rope between your fingers
2. Kite 35 degres
3. Good edge
4. Pull
5. Commit
6. HOLD!!! and pass

Do I know you?

2009-02-28T00:54:00.002+01:00

Wahahah yesterday everything just clicked, I did 8 mobes in a row then another 12.
U see I did like 8/10.
It was that easy. I realized that I was not holding onto the bar before.
Trick looks rad and I will have it filmed today and put out here.

And yes I know you :D

Chiro student party yesterday with free beer. Everything that´s free tastes so good and that results in...I hope I did´nt blow my mobe neurons.

Det regnade idag

2009-02-25T15:11:00.005+01:00

2009-02-17T05:41:00.002+01:00

Scheiise, no soft start for us. We have had three classes so far.
today on "introduction to the human body" he went straight onto the cell.
I guess that it wa'snt many of the 350 people in that room who understood that much.

I was gonna go for a kite today with a mate I met yesterday in the pub, but it's just to hectic here now. Need top print out everything and have it on my wall. Week schedules and recommended readings before class.

Martin and I bought big posters today of the skeleton and muscular system.
We are gonna have it in the kitchen so we can have a look at it everyday.

This morning I somehow managed to get an hour late the out first Chiro LAB.
Damn that's bad. I got shit for that by the second year student's.
They are so funny. One of them, Rodd. Funny guy. He came to me after class and asked me if he could get my picture to his class. They are going to come in to my class and hit me with a water balloon. I had to say yes since I was late.
He is also going around in the class asking random stuff about the body and if we don't know there is a punishment hahaha.

In the house so far
Martin
Allie
Laura (England)
So Larua got her room yesterday :)

We get internet in the house in about three weeks so not much blogging for now I guess.

I am heading home now, catcha later

What´s cracking yo

2009-02-15T03:42:00.004+01:00

Yesterday we went out to Little Creatures to start with. We were so many people there. Nick had already drunk two bottles of wine beforehand :X
It was all fun. Then when we were going to the club at 12ish people dropped of.
People were going to repark their cars haha and had lot´s. But yeah that´s right. At least ten were going to the club.

I was just on the street, it´s so much people and warm. And when I finally was going to drive home. The ignition in my car just did´nt work. Haha I was laughing my ass off buy this point. Yeahyeah, Peter and the Aussie girl I was gonna drive home had to push my car a few times until it finally started. Use second gear if you ever are gonna push start your car. 1:st gear is just to heavy

OK so I drive them home, and ending up in my new garage. And the car won´t turn off.
I put the hand brake in and 4 gear and let go of the clutch quickly. POOM the engine died but not the lights, fan, AC. This was hilarious.
Ok so I went in and got a screw driver. Opened the "huv" and had to undo the battery.

Today it´s sunday, my phone is out of battery and my car is´nt working. I managed to sneak in to my neighbors internet so all good.

Tonight we have a few more prospective tenants coming over.

/English week in the house

PS. I uploaded a picture of the polish family (beacause they got so much stuff) and also a picture when we are on an auction getting CHEAP stuff.

2009-01-28T15:02:00.002+01:00

Jag var pa universitetet och gick runt idag. Sa stort det var. Runt 20 000 som gar dar.
Verkligen jattecoola saker som forsegar dar verkar det som.

Tobbe: Naturen ar ungefar som Sydney. Massa trad overallt med MASSA blad pa. Inga hoghus bara smavillor. Sa det blir valdigt stort till ytan sett men inte pa hojden. Alla aker bil overallt. Men det blir en mysig kansla med sma hus istallet for hoghus.
Idag har vi vart pa BBQ hos skane ganget.
Just ja efter 5 minuter pa vattnet gick min brada sonder igen ;(
Hatar det att dom inte kan gora en brada som haller.
Skane ganget har pajat 6 brador pa de har 3 veckorna!!!
Nils har pajat sin ocksa. AR det na kemikalier i vattnet som frater pa dom eller?

Vi har hittat en san fin lagenhet i hjartat av Perth. Det ar en kristen missionarsfilm som ager den. Valdigt fin inredd och 4600kr i manaden. 3 Sovrum allt verkar bara alltfor bra for att vara sant. Nu fick jag jut ett meddelande med massa fragar bland annat vilken religion jag har.
En skum grej var dock att dom inte ar har utan att dom ska skicka nyckeln fran China och jag kan ju tanka mig att dom vill att man ska betala i forvag och att det kanske ar en scam? Har last att det ar mycket sant.

r i ammans

2009-01-27T13:47:00.002+01:00

Nu borjar det ju verkligen dra ihop sig.
Idag kopte jag en bil.

Killen skulle aka hem om tva dagar och behovde verkligen salja den.
Jag tror det var ett klipp och att om jag vill salja den imorgon kan jag nog fa 15000 for den.

Pa eftermiddagen ska vi kajta och jag ska gora min forsta mobe. Ska meditera mobe 10min i yoga stallning innan jag gar ut pa vattnet.

Nils rev storsta kite-slajder bygget. Valdigt otur och det kunde hant vem som helst.
Vi var tvugna att sticka innan allt skulle flyttas bort. Nu har vi fatt lite skit for det och det ska vi ha. Sorry for det. Vi hjalper till nasta gang.
Vi ater pasta 4 ganger per dag.
Vi bor just nu med Zack fran New Zeeland. Tva tjejer fran Danmark. En Aussie boy och en fran England. Och Ricardo fran Brasilien som alltid snarkar sa HIMLA hogt ner han er full vilket er varje dag. Som tur er utvecklade jag en riktigt tung somn ner jag var tonaring och ville sova pa morgonen. Men idag lyckades han vacka mig halv 6 pa morgonen. Jag borjade piska honom med min vatdrakt. Han sover under mig. Alla i rummet vaknade utom honom. Det lat som 10 hastar var i full gang under mig.

Okej har vart non stop action de senaste dagarna, men nu har vi nån timme innan allt börjar igen. Därför jag inte hunnit skriva. Inte ens hunnit logga in på facebook varje dag.

Nu börjar jag förstå att jag ska gå på skola. Har fixat telenummer, bank konto.
Snackat ihop mig med Sunniva och Malin. Vi drar nog ett hus i Northbridge. En studnet stadsdel med bra uteliv. Inte helt fel.
Håller på å köpa bil också. Men inte hunnit gjort det än???
Kajtingen har kommit igång på riktigt också.
Laddat några schyssta s2blinds.
Igår hade dom kickers och slajders ute som jag och Nils och en hel hög andra vad och körde på. Jäkligt skoj, vi ska dit och fortsätta idag.

Försökte komma in på Campus men det var fullt =/

Mandag

2009-01-19T12:44:00.002+01:00

Igar var det Sunday Session. Alla borjar dricka vid 1 pa dagen och sa fortsatter festen till 10. Killarna kor shorts och tjejerna bikini.
I solen, sa bra. Vi kajtade till 5 dock men det var lika bra.

Igar gick det inte sa bra pa vattnet men idag gick det desto battre.
Ner vi kom dit var det myckt gas i vinden. Jag och Nils tog vara 7or och David och Sam tog sina 9or.
Det blaste ut fran stranden. Det gor att det blir valdigt platt men ocksa att om man krashar draken och den toms pa luft sa har man en valdigt jobbig situation.
Sadana saker har jag hela tiden i huvudet nar man kor i off-shore.
Efter 5min ser jag en 2-3 meter fiskrygg komma upp ungefar 10meter ifran mig.
Sag ingen fena sa det kandes lugnt.

En kille lagger upp en mobe och det taggade mig. Igar sag jag den schysstate moben nansin. Han slangde kroppen precis som om det var i cableparken.
Yeahyeah kommer in pa forsta forsoket och allt kanns sa bra, landar med handen bakom ryggen och allt. Fattar inte varfor jag inte bara tar baren.
Efter det touchar jag mina egna fingrar plus baren 3 ganger.

Sa nu kommer den sitta vilken dag som helst.

Jag har ju tranat pa den mer an ett ar. Man maste verkligen halla baren nara vid takeoff och svinga hela kroppen runt. Sa att baren naturligt hamnar bakom ryggen.
Du kan inte passa med raka armar.

/Hall kajten lagt och ha kul

Roligt

2009-01-19T03:50:00.002+01:00

Maste bara beratta en rolig grej som hande igar. Vi var pa stranden och jag skulle byta om och orkar inte skyla mig med handduk. Jag gar in mellan tva bilar och strippar sa jag star helt naken.
Da upptacker jag att det sitter en tant i en av bilarna med oppet fonster ungefar 30cm fran mig och kollar pa mig.
Jag far sant skrattanfall och hoppar backat till Nils och forklarar vad som just hant.

Jag tackade just ja till min plats pa Murdoch

Sjukaste drömmen

2009-01-17T07:32:00.002+01:00

Jag har bara sovit 4+3+1 timme de senaste 80 timmarna.
Jag halvsov 3 av dom på planet medans jag kollade på discovery kanaler.

Jag minns att jag såg en teori om hur man trodde människorna färdades långa sträckor förr i tiden.
Man fick plats med säkert 100 personer i stora flygfiskar.
Jäkligt sjukt att allt var så verkligt, man fick se inne i fisken och så.
Den såg ut som en jättetor gädda, i samma size som ett Boeing.
Är framme om 8h det ska bli skönt.

*Skratt*
Skolan mailade mig just och sa att dom hade kollat mer noggrant på min ansökan och att jag ska få börja på kiropraktor programmet immedietly (hur stavas immedietly?)
Sweeet ass.

Resan so far...var på bra humör igår och mötte två umeåbor som hade vart i Brasilien.
Coolt att se att folk åker till Brasilien på två veckors nuförtiden.
Sen träffa jag en annan trevlig människa som ska till Equador och sydamerika och surfa i tre månader. Låter som en riktigt nice resa och farlig buuuhh Johanna.
Du kommer äga det dära. Hoppades jag lyckades skrämma upp dig med min första dag i Brazil.

Nu är jag i ett zombie tillstånd där allt går sakta.
Somnade vid 7 på morgonen på flyget och det var kallt på planet. Sov nån timme och nu är jag i Amsterdam.

På söndag kommer Seb och hämtar mig och Nils och vi ska äntligen få se woodies point.
Man har det bra ;)

2009-01-15T12:46:00.000+01:00

Ringde skolan två på natten men inget svar kunde dom ge mig. Gick upp 7 på morgonen och satt och ringde. Vid 11 ringde dom och väckte mig.

- Tyvärr du har inte mött kraven för att komma in, dina betyg är för låga.
Scheiise tänkte jag och så kommer den hära..
- But..........we CAN get you into Sports Science and then you will be reading the same as the Chiro students for your first year. After your first year you can apply and be transferred to the Chiro.

YEAHHHHH

Seeya in Perth 15 February at Murdoch Uni.

Nils has arrived by now, sleeping in our hostel, in 48h I will also be there.

Tonight at 2:30AM I am gonna call my school in Perth and demand an answer regarding my application. If I not get in that´s not the end for sure. The first thing I am gonna do then is to drive to the school, walk in and say I wanna start. It´s one month prior to the start. Could work. Will work!

Mamma har skrivit upp saker vi sagt när vi var små.

"När Viktor var 10år fick han sin första suspensoar.
Han tyckte det var så svårt att säga suspensoar så då bestämmer han sig för att kalla det för sexualskydd"

"Viktor hade glosprov i Engelska, han skulle då översätta ordet girl.
Han kom inte på det, så han skrev kärring istället. det blev 0 poäng"

Viktor 6 år
"Istället för Irländsk setter säger han till folk att vi har en ilsken setter"

Man kunde redan då :p

Flygbiljett fixad

2009-01-09T14:29:00.001+01:00

Bokade flygbiljetten idag, så nervöst. Om det är nått jag tycker är jobbigt så är det att boka flygbiljetter och att flyga, är så rädd att missa nått flyg. Kommer vara på flygplatsen minst 5h innan det ska avgå.

Fredag den 16 januri sticker jag med obestämd hembiljett, yihaa på den :)

Brädan som jag trodde var helt wack är lagad. Pappa kände en båtlagare som vi lämnade den till. Han kom förbi idag och den ser riktigt bra ut. 500kr kosta det.
Så himla glad för det. Nu är jag sugen på att kajta, finns inget jag längtar efter lika mycket just nu. Fick blodad tand efter vi vart och kört på snön idag.
Ska ta bilder och lägga upp imon, det kommer bli grymma 6m/s mot dagens 2.

PUSS

Dagens fundering

2009-01-05T00:57:00.002+01:00

Kom på en sak idag, säg att man vill gå ner i vikt. Skulle det då funka att sitta och räkna matte och anstränga hvudet och på så sätt bränna massa extra kalorier?

Vi kom att tänka på det här när Oskar sa att han inte tränat idag och jag sa att det hände väll inte så ofta endå, det slutade med att någon föreslog att han ansträngde huvudet mycket och att huvudet tar mest energi i hela kroppen.

Kommentera gärna

Är inte nå sugen på motocross, jag har redan min fair share of moped olycka.
Men jag måste hylla den här killen. VÄRLDENS galnaste. Han risker ju att dö hela tiden men han älskar det så mycket. Det sköna med han är hur jordnära och dorky han är.

Ladda hem en film om hans liv här - Efter du sett den är andra actionsporter lika som att sticka vantar. Killen slår sig så hårt hela tiden och bara reser sig upp, klagar då inte när han bryter ben hela tiden.

Idag hängde jag och Oskar på runn några timmar med spadar och kajts. Vinden blev aldrig tillräcklig och det var för lite snö för att bygga en kicker men imon ska det bli epic.
Vi ska upp klockan 9 och köra.
