Hele Quadron's kommende skive "Avalanche" som udkommer på tirsdag den 4. juni, streames lige ny på NY Times website, tjek den ud og giv din mening.
Jeg er lidt ambivalent efter at hørt den et par gange, fed svingende poppet soul, men jeg synes der mangler et eller andet... Forhåbentligt bare en ordenlig lydkvalitet, en stor stemme som Coco's skal nydes på vinyl og ikke over stream, hvis den skal påskønnes for hvad den er!

The Rap Song of the Summer, Every Year Since 1979
All the rap summerhits since 1979, a pretty cool summery from Complex.com with a lot of great music intertwined into it!
The hit of my birthyear, perhaps not as much rap as funky disco, but damn a beat, which has been sampled once or twice!!!
Read and listen on!

Sicily - The Silver Spoon Kitchen
A great new book from Phaidon about the cuisine of Sicily, who couldn't use a week or two on the island, and gorge through the cuisine?
Check out the book at Phaidon's website
’Det frie marked eksisterer ikke’
Der er ikke noget frit marked, og fortalerne for det er ved at slippe af sted med mord, mens resten af verden stiltiende accepterer deres udlægning af verdensøkonomien. Det var budskabet, da professor i økonomi ved Cambridge University, Ha-Joon Chang, forelæste på Københavns Universitet.

I netop det lys
Sidder ved min grønne retro-bibliotekslampe
og tænker tunge tanker
den lampe min kære gav mig, efter vi mange gange havde set og snakket om sådan én i Amsterdam
iskolde og forfrosne Amsterdam
som stadig bød på en skøn tur
skønne oplevelser, godt samvær, gode grin, højt humør
gode øloplevelser
godt mad, 1 stjerne, 2 stjerner, bare stille og roligt og hyggeligt
den lampe, vi pludselig så herhjemme
og en uge efter stod den på mit skrivebord
en tanke uden lige
fra den kære, der ikke har mig kær længere
den kære der ikke vil slippe mine tanker
ikke vil slippe mit hjerte
den kære, der ikke vil give mit sind og krop ret meget dagligt fred
den kære, jeg burde gøre alt for, og hvis hverdag jeg burde forsøde
i det lys, skriver jeg dette
i det lys tænker jeg tunge tanker
i det lys drømmer jeg mig tilbage, til fremtiden, til alt andet en at sidde her, i netop det lys

Virgil Donati drumming
Der er gået lovligt meget musik i den, her på det sidste, men det er da heller ikke helt skidt. Uden musik omkring mig ville jeg ikke være meget, ofte en god kreativ force, et afslappende rum, en rejse, en rus... musik er alt hvad man gør det til, musik er alt, især lige nu!
Her er Virgil Donati på trommer fra Rom, en helt fantastisk mand bag tønderne... Især hans arbejde med Planet X har imponeret og bevæget mig over mange omgange.

The Rolling Stones - Doom And Gloom
Så er de gamle drenge i Rolling Stones klar med en ny video, et dejligt blues rocket nummer uden de store dikkedarer, men skidtet svinger, og temmelig fed video, tjek den ud her:
Corrosion of Conformity - Feed On (Scion AV - OFFICIAL VIDEO)
Tidligere på året udgav amerikanske Corrosion Of Conformity deres hårdtslående selvtitlede album, som jeg har rystet en del manglende manke til.
Nu er Scion A/V på banen med en gratis fem spors EP som du kan downloade her! Endnu fem fede COC skæringer, drengene er godt nok tilbage med fuld kraft. Og tjek den fede video featuring producer John Custer ud her:

Deftones - Tempest (Audio)
Mægtige Deftones er ved at være klar til at udgive deres nye, længe ventede skive "Koi No Yokan", nu er opuset ved at være klar til at ramme hylderne, og det tegner jo ikke helt skidt, hvis 'Tempest' er garant for stil og intensitet.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Mladic
Godspeed You! Black Emperor er tilbage, efter 10 års stilhed har de canadiske mørkemand givet lyd fra sig i form af "'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!". Tjek den første skæring fra skiven ud herunder og storm derefter ud for at finde albummet!
Ekstreme Samlere - Obsessive Compulsive Hoarders
Ekstreme Samlere, med original titlen Obsessive Compulsive Hoarders, et lille ordspil på Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, der spiller på at ekstreme samlere ikke kan gøre for deres mani, men er tvunget til at samle og ikke smide ud.
Jeg er nok i en mindre grad samler, og ønsker en gang imellem at jeg var bedre til at smide ting ud. Jeg kan huske engang da jeg have avisabonnementer, ikke nænnede at smide aviserne ud, før end jeg havde læst dem fra ende til anden, samt katalogiseret de interessante artikler, damn, det voksede jeg dog fra.
Efter en nylig, ganske spontan, flytning, har jeg indset jeg skal til at rydde op og smide væk igen, glæder mig næsten, især efter at have set et afsnit af Ekstreme Samlere, da for meget lort kan ødelægge alt.

Auri, min ven, hvor er BIF?
Auri, min ven, hvis ledelsen ikke vil indse du (og de) ikke gør holdet godt ved at du fortsætter som træner, hvor er selvindsigten så?
Der er ingen fremgang, der er ingen fremskridt, der er ingen gejst, der er ingen kamp... Auri du må godt kaste håndklædet i ringen, det er der ingen skam i, der er mere skam i at stå på sidelinjen uden at have evnerne til at få det til at fungere!
Hvor er dine cojones fra de gode gamle dage? Hvor er fighteren? Hvor er manden der kunne indse tingene ikke virkede, hvor er manden der kunne råbe holdet op i gear fra venstreback-positionen?
Det kunne have være endt godt, du har været en indpisker, en hård hund, nu lader det som om du er slagen og ikke har den respekt fra truppen, som burde være tilfældet! For at spare os alle fra flere kvaler, burde rejsen så ikke stoppe her? Alle implicerede parter fortjener bedre!

Østers, tatar, Bordeaux og James Bond
Opskriften på en dejlig tirsdag dag. Først en god solid frokost på Mest. En omgang østers til at starte på og derefter dejlig rørt tatar ligesom hjemme i Frankrig, omkranset af dejlige sprøde fritter og dertil en flaske semi-moden Bordeaux i form af Chateau Lamothe-Cissac 2005.
Læs lidt om Mest og Chateau Lamothe-Cissac
Så stod den på Skyfall. en film som lyder spændende, og kun har fået af ros af de fra omgangskredsen der har set den. Jeg er ikke den store biografgænger/filmentuiast, men så stadig frem til den, selvom jeg kedede mig bravt under Batman - The Dark Knight. James Bond - Skyfall har sine elementer, men en drøj start for én der ikke er god til at sidde stille, dog alt i alt en seværdig film, med masser af action og gode effekter. En film jeg gerne vil se igen.

CV Jørgensen - Det blonde danske smil
Spil dansk dagen var igår, men derfor er det slet ikke for sent at showcase mere dansk musik, for der jo mange gode numre og skiver gemt i den danske musik historie. Her er et fedt nummer fra en rigtig fed skive "Tidens Tern" fra vel en af de største danske poeter og skjalde C.V. Jørgensen. Det er også på dette album at man finder manden/bandets største hit 'Costa Del Sol (En Inciterende Flamingo)'.

Er Rolf Sørensen ren?
Er Rolf ren?
Hvem ved egentligt det, udover Rolf Sørensen selv. Så skal vi en gang for alle lade snakken falde, og vente og se om Rolf ikke selv en dag tager bladet fra munden og indtil da nyde hans fortsatte indsats for cykelsporten, som den er i dag.
Da Rolf startede som kommentator efter sin tid som rytter, var han vel i de flestes øjne, også mine, en af de mest usympatiske mennesker man kunne høre kommentere en sportsbegivenhed. Dog er han vokset fra hvalpe problemerne og er vokset med opgaven, og er nu, i mine ører en glimrende historiefortæller, ikke på højde med Jørgen Leth, fortællere i den klasse er der ikke mange af, men gedigen til historier og med stor indsigt, i og med han i mange år selv var en del af gamet. På godt og ondt.
Sandsynligheden for at Rolf har været ren igennem sin karriere er da ikke stor, det er vi enige om, han cyklede i en tid hvor doping, har vi senere fundet ud af, mere var reglen end undtagelsen, det var hvad der blev krævet for at være med på toppen og køre med om sejrene. Holdene han har kørt for, de fleste læger han (eller holdene) har arbejdet sammen med osv., ja alt indikerer at han har brugt forbudte præstationsfremmende præparater igennem sin karriere og har han ikke også i vage vendinger indrømmet det? Uden at den rygende pistol, anger eller andet direkte er kommet på bordet.
Og med mandens baggrund og meritter i baghovedet, er han så ikke den perfekte kommentator, da han kender alle aspekter af den professionelle cykelsport? Sejrene, nederlagene, smerterne, glæden, mange af ruterne, historierne, alt på godt og ondt, er han ikke den perfekte mand til at fortælle historien, samt manden der har ballasten til at fortælle videre på 100 års smuk historie. Der har jo altid været præstationsfremmende stoffer i cyklingen, værende det koffein, amfetamin, kokain og hvad de monstro kørte på i den helt spæde cykelsports ungdom. Cykelsporten har nok aldrig været renere end den er i dag!
Så skal vi ikke sammenstemmende lade Rolf om, om han vil lægge noget på bordet eller fortsætte som han gør nu. Nogle af os kan lide ham som historiefortælleren med det gode indblik og den store baggrund, andre kan ikke udstå manden, lad os hellere debattere derom, end om Rolf var ren eller ej!
Jeg har valgt, og vil fortsat nyde at høre Leths og Sørensens fortællinger, røverhistorier og andet , når muligheden byder sig.

Fedt nummer, fed video, fedt album... Tjek det ud hvis du er til progressivt ekstrem metal med gode melodier og emotionelle passager, grimt musik kan godt være smukt, tag en lytter og døm! Franske Gojira har begået et lille mesterværk med deres nye skive "L'enfant Sauvage".
Bandet optræder på Aalborg Metal Festival lørdag den tredje november hvis man skulle være i nærheden og have lyst til at blive blæst igennem.

Bon Iver guitar lavet af whiskey tønde til salg
Du læste rigtigt... En guitar kreeret af mr. Bon Iver Justin Vernon og Gordy Bischoff, brugende materialer fra en tønde hvori irske Bushmills har lagret whiskey i, er nu til salg på Ebay... var det ikke noget? Omend ikke andet, så for historien bag... Jeg kunne godt tænke mig den!
Byd på den her!

Mystiske træfigurer i svensk skov
Der er fundet mystiske træfigurer i en svensk skov... Under en jagt falder jægeren over nøgne bundne kvindefigurer, samt fallossymboler. Indtil videre har kunstneren ikke stået frem.
Muse... Verdens bedste band
Hvis man da skal tro på engelske Q Magazine og deres læsere... Jeg ved ikke elt om jeg er enig selvom bandet da har udgivet noget gedigent musik, men skal vi ikke lige give dem 10 år mere og se om de holder ved.

In My Darkest Hour
In my hour of need
Ha you're not there
And though I reached out for you
Wouldn't lend a hand
Through the darkest hour
Grace did not shine on me
It feels so cold, very cold
No one cares for me
Did you ever think I got lonely
Did you ever think that I needed love
Did you ever think to stop thinking
You're the only one I'm thinking of...
You'll never know how hard I tried
To find space to satisfy you too
Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand, knowing you I'm probably wrong
But oh I lived my life for you
Still you'd turn away
Now as I die for you
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years I thought I was wrong
Now I know it was you
Raise your head your face your eyes
Tell me who think you are, who?
I walk, I walk alone
Into the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I gotta die first,
Please god send me on my way
Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone I call to ease the pain
Yearning to be held by you
Alone, so alone, I'm lost
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain
Won't you hold me again
You just laughed, ha ha, bitch
My whole life is work built on the past
But the time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away
In my darkest hour
/written by Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson of Megadeth, published on the 1988 album 'So Far.. So Good... So What!' as a reaction to the death and loss of Cliff Burton of Metallica.

I et tog på vej imod København
... d.17/1-2008
Her i det store kolde nord
Er noget i gære
Alt er ikke som det burde være
Der er trist og goldt
Gråt i stedet for hvidt og koldt
Alt er ikke ved det gamle
Imellem du og jeg, vi har stået lidt for længe i stampe
Været helt væk fra sporet
Og har ofte spurgt os selv, hvorfor vi gjorde, som vi gjorde
Et lys i mørket er dog tændt
En del er alligevel hændt
Det gamle er måske på vej tilbage
Igen kan jeg føle og se dig som min mage
/ufafsluttet...

Tanker 1
Oplevelser
Igennem ild og vand
Nye ting og steder
Sanseindtryk
Krop og sind
Ikke 2, men ét
Sammen
Hvad kunne have været bragt
Hvor mange ting ville have været sket og set
Følt, mærket, oplevet
Hvordan kan et nu forsvinde
Kvaler
Tanker spredt udover uanede arealer
Nogle ting dør, genopstår og ånder videre
Andre forsvinder uden lyd ind i intetheden
Blødende og kold, formørket, fanget i mindernes vold.

Life as we know it
1.
Betrayal
At the rue morgue
Reality hits you like a sledgehammer
A rusty knife in the back
Welcome to the new world's reality
Get it your way, or no way at all
Fuck me
2.
Gave it all
Disabled ways
Now my heart lay broken beneath the wall
And it won't be long until the rest of me follows...
... Look out for the impact

Mike Smith
An author I got to 'know' through Jason Jordan and as Mike's work as the editor of decomP, a great literary magazine that have published 2 of my poems! I didn't know much of Mike as an author, besides that he has written the novel Tell Christian I'm Sorry, and that he soon is ready with his second novel Tremendous Power Of Concentration, which he right now has published a part of, which you can read here, and believe me, it's a good read!!! It was after that read, my interest was sparked for Mike Smith the author!

Morten Andersen signs with Falcons
Yes, you heard right, NFL's most scoring player is back, the great Dane is ready for yet a season with the Atlanta Falcons. After their starting kicker Matt Prater had 2 terrible games (yesterday he missed 43 and 26 yards field goals, in a game they lost 7-13), the Falcons realized they needed reliability on the kicker position and who can deliver that better than Andersen. After a trial today, where he hit 13/13 kicks, from 50 yards and in, he convinced the training staff that old #5 would be a safe bet, so yet a year with a Dane in NFL, and this will be Andersen's 25th season in the NFL, go great Dane, best kicks!!!

Dire Straits
For the first time in I don't know how many years, I dug up one of my old old LPs, Dire Strait's self titled album, inspired by a book I'm reading right now, Ian Rankin's Resurrection Men, where a bunch of old vinyls are being played at a point. Though back to Dire Straits, damn how is this album smooth and delicious to listen to. Mark Knopfler's guitar is crisp and very enjoyable, well written music and even better played and his smooth and soothing vocals, amazing, this album is a small gem! I reckon this is going into heavy rotation here the next little while...

New Korn album
Just had a listen to the new Korn, apparently untitled, album, and hmmm.... wasn't that interesting, not that I am a fan of the band, and it is the first album of theirs I have listened to, the material I know from them are from the radio and TV. The album is mostly light industrial and alternative metal/rock, and the first impression went in one ear and out the other. Even though the music doesn't impress me much, the cover artwork is great!Korn @ Wikipedia

Iron Maiden in a Sony ad
Almighty Iron Maiden are having their superb track 'Can I Play With Madness' (The music video in a not too good quality and a rather good live version, that really is catching the atmosphere and interaction at an Iron Maiden concert!) from the album "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" used in an advertisement for Sony's new HD 1080 equipment, check the ad out on YouTube and listen to the killer music, this rocks!

Green Bay Packers beat Philadelphia Eagles 16-13 in their first game, a game where Eagles were favorites, though Packers and kicker Mason Crosby didn't care. Even though Green Bay didn't get any offensive touchdowns, they embraced the victory with a defensive touchdown and 3 field goals from Crosby (53, 37, 42). Brett Favre didn't have his best day, he completed 23/42 for 206 yards and had one interception and 4 sacks.
Other scores of interest: Tennessee Titans beat Jacksonville Jaguars 13-10, go Vince Young. Pittsburgh Steelers beat Cleveland Browns 34-7, 'Big' Ben Rothlisberger threw 4 touchdowns, he seems to be back as we know him. Houston Texans beat Atlanta Falcons 20-3, seems like the Falcons really are suffering due to Vick's 'off the field interests'. Carolina Panthers beat Saint Louis Rams 27-13, this should be the season where Rams would be back as a Superbowl contender, though Jake Delhomme with 3 touchdown passes didn't seem impressed. New England Patriots seems stronger than ever, and has never had as many profiles on their team as now, scaring to see how they closed down New York Jets and won 38-14, without pushing the limits, they did it in a very calm manner, the Patriots is a serious Superbowl aspirant. And the most surprising result for me, so far this weekend, Denver Broncos were feeling the heat from Buffalo Bills and only won by one point, 15-14, I didn't see the match, though I expected the Broncos to be much stronger and a team that shouldn't get in trouble against Bills.
Right now I'm watching San Diego Charges vs. Chicago Bears, I'm cheering for Chargers, though the Bears defense is having a good grip on quarterback Philip Rivers and especially running back LaDainian Tomlinson, but I think LT will prevail, right now the Bears are ahead 3-0 with 7:27 to go of the 2nd quarter.

Colts thrashed Saints with 41-10, Brees and his O-line didn't seem up to standards, quite poor work from one of the best offenses last year, I sincerely hope it'll become better really soon!
Though Peyton and his boys just churned on from where they left last year, no mercy from the Colts this year either. Manning threw touchdowns to Reggie Wayne (2) and Marvin Harrison. Joseph Addai carried a TD for 2 yards, and kicker Adam Vinatieri is still to miss his first field goal in the RCA Dome.
Come Sunday so we can get some more football!

Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Tasted 3 wines from this vineyard from Napa Valley, California yesterday at a tasting, and was hooked on their style from the first sip. The first wine I tasted was their 2005 Sauvignon Blanc, a clean and crisp white wine, with a bit of oak in the nose, though very fresh and flowery, and the oak notes didn't overpower anything in the taste, a very mineral yet fruity and beautiful Sauvignon Blanc with a nice acidity, where the keyword is clean.
The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon was overpowering, the nose was very very sweet, and filled with prunes, the same can be said about the taste, dark too ripe fruits, prunes, very ripe figs and almost no acid, and a lot of tannins of course, a very concentrated wine, hard to drink due to the lack of acidity. The lack of acidity was explained by they had a very hot summer in Napa Valley in 2004, so the grapes were too exposed to the sun.
Last but not least I tasted the vineyard's top wine Insignia, again a wine based on Cabernet Sauvignon and again a very very concentrated wine with a sweet, but very refined nose. The taste is overpowering, very sweet, with ripe black berries, some spice and a hint of vanilla notes, the wine doesn't have much acidity, though it is still very harmonic in the mouth and you don't miss the acid. The wine seems more like a dessert wine than a red wine, and if I had to pair it with food, it will be to dark chocolate, prunes, black berries and vanilla.

Green Bay Packers won last night, woot
Well, yes, it is the pre-season, though after having seen how the Steelers closed down the Saints last Sunday, in the Hall Of Fame match, I didn't expect Packers to take the win last night.
Green Bay won 13-9 on a 3 yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to Holiday, 2 field goals (52 and 32) and the extra point. Rodgers did best of the 3 QBs, completing 18/27 throws for 168 yards, Martin completed 1/2 throws for 7 yards and Captain B only completed 2/7 throws for 7 yards, with one fumble for -5 yards.
Steelers got a touchdown on a 50 yard throw from Batch to Young, Reed missed the XP and hit a 27 yards field goal.
In other games of interest Giants lost 21-24 to Panthers, Raiders won 27-23 over Cardinals and Redskins beat Titans 23-6, though Titans was a bit crippled as they still struggle with the Pacman Jones case and QB Vince Young (offense rookie of the year 2006/07) was sitting out as well, due to violating a team rule.

Return of cold war tactics
This news story about the Russians flying to an US Airforce base in Guam in the Pacific Ocean made me giggle a bit, though also wonder if there is more to it, than the obvious wish from Russia to show, that they still have some goods left and apparently is ready to cross swords, if it becomes necessary.
Tupolev Tu-95 Bear which was the plane used for the operation can carry nukes and is the Russian counterpart to the B52 Stratofortress.

Dailylit
Sometimes one comes across good things surfing the net, like today, where I discovered the website Dailylit.com, a website that sends you small portions of books, either to your email address or as a RSS feed. You can choose to get the book portions send daily, weekdays or 3 days a week, and if you wish you can prompt to get the next installment of the book you are reading right away.
I've started out to read Homer's Iliad, via email, and have so far received 2 installments, and it works and seems sweet, and something I will continue with. A great way to get through classics and other works, small piece by small piece, without losing interest along the way.
There is a good deal of literature on the site, so there should be something for all, so drop by Dailylit.com and start reading and become even more educated!

I've never had a real RSS reader before, I've just used Firefox to show RSS feeds, though that has started to become quite messy, the more feeds I find and use. So I started to look for a RSS reader, and stumbled across Snarfer and have just started using that, and so far it seems fine, though I need a week or 2 and to add all my own feeds into it, to see if it is as good as the first hand impression makes it seem.

Books you should consider reading, if you have the time
Here is a couple of recommendations of books I've read lately.
Let's start of with the Swedish grand old man within the genre 'spy'-novels, Jan Guillou and his newest offering Madame Terror, a great written and told story, a great build up to a grand finale, with sheer excitement all the way through, hard to put down when first started. It's hard to go wrong with books in the Carl Hamilton series. The book is also a nice twist on the current political situation in the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Guillou
A writer I've just lately run across is Daniel Silva, who writes spy-novels as well, centered around the Israeli agent/ex-agent Gabriel Allon. So far I've read The Confessor and Prince Of Fire, great, exciting and quite easy reading, again, books that are hard to put down, when first started.
http://www.danielsilvabooks.com/
Right now, among others, I'm reading Men Hating Women (direct translation from Swedish/Danish, as there isn't a English translation of the book yet, as far as I know) by Stieg Larsson, though now you have something to look forward to, he's a great writer who puts a lot of details into his work, haven't gotten that far into the book yet, but are really enjoying what I'm reading. So far there is 3 books in the series, he calls Millennium, Men Hating Women being the first.

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!

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!
