The drugs that bakers do

After having kept my pie intake on a minimum for a good while, I fell of the wagon and purchased a chocolate pie the other day. Though while consuming the first piece of it, I realized I wasn’t the only one battling with addictions.

The first bite was good as always, then some confusing tones hit my taste buds, scents of vanilla and a savoury sweetness that normally isn’t found in a chocolate pie, together with a soft jelly-like consistency puzzled me, until I took another bite and a good look at the pie!

The mystery then slowly materialized and I found that the pie was a hybrid of a chocolate pie and an apple pie. The normal chocolate pie that I normal get (and as I had bought earlier that day), with a layer of apples and apple jam beneath the chocolate and butter-based crème, quite a surprise.

It didn’t taste bad, the 2 elements did actually compliment each other quite well, when I first had tackled the thought of it, even though I am pretty sure it wasn’t the intended idea the good baker had when he made chocolate and apple pies that day, somewhere in his drugged up mind the yellowish apples and the brownish chocolate just got mixed up and all pies ended up as hybrids of chocolate and apple… and people say nothing good comes out of drugs!!!

The first game is home

The first hockey match in the league went ahead as it should, AAB took Sønderjyske with 4-1 with goals scored by Tobias Holm (Jens Nielsen), Tobias Holm (Jens Nielsen, Ronny Larsen), Martin Rejthar (Dejan Matejic), Dejan Matejic (Ilya Dubkov). The game was also secured by the really well-playing goalie Brian Greer. And just for some salt in the wound Brian Greer and Dejan Matejic played in Sønderjyske last season! So far the league is lead by the team we (read me) hope takes the gold this season!

The Danish ice hockey season is about to start

Wee wee, here we go, finally time for the Danish hockey season to start! Danish ice hockey you might say, what the fuck is that? Well, is it comparable to NHL or the big European leagues? Not at all, but pretty entertaining and must be getting close to the top ten of European hockey, at least the quality of the players and the play have become a lot better the last few years!

My team is called AAB Ishockey and is located in Aalborg, the town where I live, so far they’ve been slated for the favourite role to take the Danish championship this year, and they do have the best team in the last few years in my opinion. And the last 3 years, the team have been in the finals and ended up with the silver, this year only gold will do it!!!

So far this season I’ve seen 3 games, 2 pre-season matches, lucky enough the 2 the team won and then yesterday the last game in the quarter-finals of the Danish cup, where AAB won 5-0 over Herlev Hornets, which gave AAB a total victory of 9-1 (over 2 games) and they are now ready for the semi-finals vs. Rødovre Mighty Bulls!

Though this Friday (15/9) the season will begin with the game Sønderjyske (the championship winner from last year (the 2005/06 season)) vs. AAB and then we’ll see how it’ll all go! Small updates might follow here!

Emotional Hangovers

"This is my very first rejection, no need to hide it away, if I can't get others to publish what I do I will myself and hopefully this won't be the last rejection (hell, I know it won't be!!!). With a wee bit of luck this will also mark my awakening of a dark slumber! Enjoy!"

In darkness, a heavy head, darkened thoughts, mental overdrive.
All has been postponed too long, caused an instant feed of too many impressions and happenings.
To grok or not to grok, it all needs to be understood, every stone needs to be turned.
What does this and that mean, how does one look upon that and this?
Who needs a response and who needs a mere reaction, who needs to be ignored?
The questions grow in numbers; thoughts expand and demands more attention.

Seeking the truth in both darkness and light, is there more than one answer to each question?
How far does one have to look to see where infinity ends?
Are matters of love and hate connected, does one exists without the other?
The mechanisms of life and all that is beyond demand attention, even though nothing but hours of mind-bending result thereof.

A man once saw the green flash of the sunset, a beam of green flash of light from the sun, the manifestation of Thule, the land long lost, a sight that should give peace in mind and balance to the soul, though that man is one of a few, so the rest can nothing but question the sighting, after how much questioning will that blessed man, start to question what he saw?

Of life and death, of flesh and blood, from dust to dust... How does death impact the lives of bystanders, relatives and friends, is it possible to ignore one of one's own kin and walk away unaffected by the person's death? Will "kiss and make up" on the deathbed have any effect, die in peace, rest in hell, live in hell, rest in peace, which of the 2 is the truth, if any of them are? Live and let live, what happens is destined to happen, who are we to alter the way of nature and fate?

If one asks to be loathed and hated, aren't we in the right to grant that wish, if the same person asks to be forgiven, aren't we in our right to set demands of forgiveness? And continue to loathe and hate, if those demands aren't fulfilled? Will death or the soon to be death of that person affect the decision once made in anger, or more concerned, should it affect it? A question that stirs up emotions, beliefs and ways to look upon the world and one self, when, if not will, the question be answered and will the answer appear in time?

Left in darkness, drowsy, aching limbs, the mental overdrive has gone into an apathetic mode. What’s next? Nothing, all has been done. For now at least, somewhere on the other side of dawn or was it dusk, the next task awaits!
