Last call for morning coffee :)

Early wake up call...before the alarm went off! 
 I guess I have a bit to much on my mind right now to be able to sleep properly!
But I don´t mind because today is MOVING DAY! Long time since I was looking forward to a move this much but I´m so eager to get this done.
Towards a new place,just down the road to a cosy apartment that will suit me just fine at least for now since I won´t be home that much this year :) 
 
 But in the same way I am going to miss this place.
Newly built,modern and with a very nice view and good neighbours. So even if it´s a big relief getting out of here it also feels a bit sad,but I think that will disappear as soon as I get moved in to this new place :) 
 
 
 Last morning view from this adress.
 
 
 The sun rises in the east...and will do so also tomorrow!
 
So now I head on towards new horizons,leaveing and closeing a chapter in my life for one last final time. 
The future actually looks very bright and I feel like a little school boy on my way to first day of school,a little nervous but in the same way very hopeful,eager and curious on what this year and the future have to offer me.
 
So take care of each other and remember to have fun :)
 
Ta-Ta! 
 
 
 

Small apartments

Were just browsing the web to find some good movie to watch this Tuesday evening and this one caught my attention. 
 Not only because of cast,some really good and interesting actors involved and the Swedish director Jonas Åkerlund ain´t to bad either....
But the title got my attention since I´m moving this weekend to smaller apartment,but luckily not like the ones in the movie ;)
 
"What are we scared of?
We only have one shot of this life,
there are no do overs,time wasted is time lost!
The past is a ghost and the future is a dream,
there is only right now...
 We need to forgive and keep on moving forward
`cause we´re all so ridicilous imperfect..
And we need to find a place to call home,
a place we know we´re loved and feel safe.
It´s all so clearly know,it doesnt matter if you
live in a small apartment or a big mansion on the hill.
Don´t matter if you live in a mental institution or some
sunny beach in St Croix..
It´s all in your mind,every moment in life is what you make of it
Pain. Love. Fear. Happiness.
You choose to feel each of them,so choose to be happy..."
 
//Bernard Franklin
 
 
 
 
See it! 
 Sleep well,my friends,family,enemies and my Queen...
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your lives :)
 
Take care..
Ta-ta!
 

An ode to friends :)

Sometimes you realize that you are where you are in life not only because of yourslef but also with help from a little friends... I think I can fill this page with names and just keep on going! Friends that has helped me in one way or an other... 
 
But right now there is actually to people that crossed my mind more then others ( doesn´t meen in anyway that the rest of you are an less important...) two people that the right support and pad on the back and also harsch words when needed ;) Without those to people,I strongly don´t think that I would have been to all these places around the world.
Walking the Charles Bridge in Prague,being able to have pizza in Milan, have a walkabout and get lost in Atlanta, standing infront of thousand and thousands of people in Tokyo playing my bass, meeting all these people along that touring road,people I grew good friends with and some not so much ;) wandering the streets of Budapest at night and stumbling into a very dodgy rock bar, being stuck in the customs on the Swiss border for 9 hours,visiting a country that just had it´s "revolution cherry" popped,and being able to share there freedom.
 Eating very strange things in strange cities,and being so bored beyond belief that I can´t tell me ass from my elbow and laugh until I more or less pass out. Meeting the love of my life,my true north! 
 
Of course it could all happen anyways without anyones help,but in this case two people helped me set that ball in motion...and my frekkin´god it´s in motion ;) BIG TIME! 
 
 
 
 So with further ado..
Hasse...thank you for showing the absolute magic in playing music 20 years ago,and letting that beast in me loose,making me understand that it´s all about having fun :D And I have had a lot of fun and still have! You´re gentle way is a leading star!
 
And to my deeply beloved mother Inger...With out your unquestional support and encouraging up bringing I guess I would be working in a factory,unhappy... I have never doubted that support in any way and I still feel it deep inside...and also for borrowing me those 850 kr that made it possible for me to buy my first own bass,so i didn´t had to secretly borrow my brothers ;)
 
 Remember that you´re never bigger then the ones who helped you get where you are,and help you to get where you´re going... 
 
 Take care... Ta-ta!
 

...tha small things in life...

You run thru life so fast that you forget to see and be thankful for the small things in life that really makes the biggest difference...what really makes it worth it in the end... 
 
 One of those things is to be able to see your loved one smile and hear her laugh and feeling close even if the distance is greater then you really want to admit. But hey,distance is only a number ;) and numbers is the "Sign of the system" and everyone knows that the system has to and will be beaten one day,and until that day... we always have Skype :D
 
Take care everyone out there,and try to appreciate wat you actually have and don´t be in a to big of a hurry to miss it...because it´s right there under your nose :)
 
Ta-ta!
 

Happy Pappy Friday :D

So...here I sit all by myself and enjoying it actually :) 
 
 A long and somewhat hard week has almost come to an end...of course yours truly has more work to do tomorrow evening and I don´t mind what so ever :) 
 Well,alot of working,playing my bass,long talks with my loved one,having good people around me and to top it off this very Friday I signed the contract for a new appartment :D Finally I got this one traded to another one,a little smaller,a little less modern and pretty much cheaper and it´s only 150 meters away from where I sit now :D oh the sweet joy of happiness :D 
 It really feels like I am closing that final door and leaving sometings behind that door,locked away... I have my own place,without the memories and remeberance of a life I once lived...a life where I can´t say that I recognize myself today...and it feels so damn good! Future...here I come :) and I am really looking forward to see where the future is taking me,in every kind of way <3 
 The opportunies that this trade gives me is more and beyond amazing ;)
 
 So I sit here,alone,with a glass of red wine and some good food celebrating on my own... At first I was thinking of maybe....just maybe,getting a small bottle of Champagne just because...but I think I put that idea on hold until I have some "Queenly" visit instead,makes much more sence :) 
 
 So please...pretty please,with sugar on top...take care of each others out there and realize and cherrish what you do have in life instead of missing what you don´t have!
 
 Ta-ta!

Sunday it is...

Yesterday I managed to get my hands on this sweet thing...the latest album of the band called HEADPLATE that I played in,but we broke up like 7 years ago! 
 But now we decided to record those old songs we had made and this is the result.. :D 
 
It was recorded buring the late summer and fall of 2012 at Don Graniolo Studios here in Gothenburg
 Not like we´re doing a comeback,but it´s just nice to take a trip down memory lane sometimes,since these where the first guys I played with when I first moved to Gothenburg! 
 
 But now it´s Sunday evening....oh Sunday bloody Sunday...bored beyond but the fever makes me powerless...bored beyond,but no strength in doing anything :/ hate when that happens! 
 Well,it haven´t been a complete disaster of course...I got to hear my loved ones voice and that just warms me up inside every time... Could never in my wildest imagination believe that hearing someones voice would make me feel so damn good...never! But i don´t question it...I just embrace it full on :D 
 
 Well, I think I pretty soon will hit the sack and maybe watch a thousands of episodes of some tv serie,hopefully I pass out soon enough since I still have to go to work in the morning... Don´t really feel like it....but have to! Working class hero i guess ;)
 
 Take care my friends and `til next time....Ta-ta!

On top of the world!

Even if I am struggling with a stubborn cold,sore throat and a little fever I do feel on top of the world! 
That´s why I use this picture taken from our killer and most awesome show at Liseberg,Gothenburg in  front of 8-10.000 people that ended last summers totally awesome experience! Smiling a silly smile while thinking of it ;) 
 
 Last friday we realesed our first singel "the Nexus" from our up coming album with the same name! 
 And holy sweet Jesus on a lollipopstick the video completley skyrocketed on youtube and after the first week we have 160 000 views and that is alot! Very much A LOT!!! 
 So I guess I can say that this is going to be a rellay interesting year for us and it has only begun...only begun :)

I do also have some good personal news,I am moving....again... Not as far as I might want to ;) only 150 meters,a little bit smaller,but that´s ok since I don´t have to much stuff anyways :) not as modern,don´t mind that either,kinda like old stuff (probably since I´m getting old myself :D ) and a bit cheaper and that suits me just fine,since I´m not planning to be home that much this year. Either I´ll be on tour and when not I hopefully will be spending a lot of time somewhere up north and slightly to the east of Sweden <3 
 
 So...a lot of stuff happening,I guess all I can do is to strap myself down and enjoy the ride and I will for sure sure ;) 
 
 Take care all my friends and enemies and have a lovely weekend....where would I be without you all?! :D 
 
 Ta-Ta!!
