  Back from the dead...

  Hello and welcome back!

  It’s been a while and I havent felt like posting anything for a while.
  Mostly because I’ve been working…period.

  I’m selling my apartment at the moment. You see, I’ve decided to move back home soon.
  I’ll probably get some cash for the place, and plan to go away for a trip.
  The planned trip around Europe didnt happen…atleast not yet.
  I am a heck of a guy when it comes to the saying “I’ll take care of that tomorrow”.
  If I get enough cash I might go to New York/Detroit for some playoff hockey :p

  I’ve decided to quit my job aswell. What’s the point of doing something half way.
  I need a change in my life. Otherwise I’ll get stuck doing the same old shit day in and out. That being arresting criminals. I’ll admit to loving the adrenaline rush, but it is not worth throwing my life away for.
  When I have no real education, the plan is to get a certified education in some field. What is not decided yet…

  But first of all…some travelling is a must, and like I said, New York is tempting.
  For those who have missed…12th-28th February is sacred telvision days.
  OLYMPIC GAMES BABY! =)

  Yearly Cheese Rolling

  Since I started thinking about travelling through Europe I’ve come across alot of interesting places I’d like to visit. Some more fascinating than others. You can see which my favorite destinations are, posted in the column to your right.
  The latest addition to my list is the town of Gloucestershire in England.
  Why Gloucestershire you may ask?
  Because they have the Cheese Rolling there.
  The Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling is an anually contest where a two dozen young men run after a “Double Gloucestershire Cheese”(yes, a cheese) down a steep slippery hill.
  The first one to get to the cheese wins.
  Sounds like a bad idea? Well, you be the judge. =)

  I’m gonna be there, hopefully for the next running in exactly one year from now.

  Skydive in Gryttjom, Sweden

  This morning I took the bus to a small village outside the town of Tierp, called Gryttjom.
  I had a scheduled skydive for 2pm. However, the weather was poor for jumping out of an airplane. Very cloudy. And so I had to wait for almost 4 hours before it cleared.
  But man was it worth waiting for
  I got really shaky when I finally was in the aircraft, knowing there was more or less no turning back. Not that I would have anyway.
  And the fact that I was gonna throw my body out of the same aircraft. Sick sport!!
  The guide was terrific, and he made the jump awsome.
  We dived for 50-55 seconds before he pulled the chute, and then he did some tricks before landing safely on the grass.
  This is something everybody should do before they die!! AWSOME!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

   

  If you feel like doing this, log on to http://www.skydive.se, but first look at the video from my jump!

  Regarding the skydive tomorrow...

  Tomorrow at 2pm I am scheduled to skydive from an airplane with a parachute on the back. Or to be precise, a guy with a parachute on my back.
  However, this will only take place if its not raining, and if the sky is not all filled with clouds. It doesnt look good today, but I’m keeping my hopes up. If everything goes well I’ll post the video of the jump tomorrow night, and if all fails(such as the chute doesnt open etc.) my brother can have my macbook pro

  *NOTE: My sister was on the tele two nights in a row, and I missed it both times. She’s to be seen at the game show “Vem vet mest?”…ofcourse only in swedish. Watch the first of two shows here!
