No need
Just read a bunch of bloggs and thought about rewieving one of the best weekend so far, but seriously, there are so many other funny fuckers out there so if I just wanna feel like shit for not beeing out in the sun because I am just a little more tired than humanly possible, I should be able to. I do feel a little more shit when I see how many people actually make the effort of visiting this blog every day thou, so thanx.
And today I found out that a certain french person might read my blog. Seriously. Fistly you are french. Secondly you are french. Get over youreslf. (and dye that eybrow!)
I have also handed the Bassmobile to the mecanics again. Belive it or not. They still havnt got the parts they ordered for me.. about 1.5months ago..
But they will install the brand spanking new sterio for me. Just for beeing nice.
Any ideas for food? I'm thinking beef stew.. fast version.
Representation
Om man är nybliven egen företagare med allt för många bollar i luften är det en självklarhet att man deligerar vissa uppgifter, speciellt om de man deligerar dessa till har stor insikt i vad frågan gäller.
Att man sedan gör det ett par månader efter att man personligen lovade att ta hand om saken själv, det må vara en annan sak, eller att bara hälften av uppgiften blivit utförd, det lämnar vi hädan.
Vad jag dock förundras över är om man inte är mer än lite mån om att ha full kontroll över hur ens företag speglas utåt i ett så tidigt skede av ens karriär som entreprenör..
Saker som språkbruk, gramatik eller korrekthet i handlingar och dokument som sprider företagets namn utåt, borde inte sådant ligga i ens yttersta intresse att se efter?
Så man inte förväxlas med texmex syltan på hörnet..
..Bara undrar..
Radio?
Got stuck in traffic on the way back from the airprot this morning..
I searched the channels for 5 minutes, really, skipping from one to another frenetically.. FIVE minutes before I found one that played music. Not good music, just ANY music.
No wonder portugese drives like mad when all they hear in their cars is commercials and people speaking..
I have to get my new sterio installed. Thanx to worlds greatest more-or-less-Nuno I have a brand spanking new one sitting in my trunk awaiting installation. One with aux input.. bring on the ipod! Love it!

Schizophrenia
Am I still drink from last night or has the weather just got schizophrenia?
One minute its pissing down with rain so that I am afraid the bathroom window is gonna come off its hinges, the next it looks like a bright summer day with clear blue skies?
Whats going on!? (As ledgend Jo would have said..)
Now off to the Areoporto to pick up the visitor!
See you!

If you can take it one step too far, why not?
The resting businessman
Im really writing on my strategy paper, but for some reason I can not force myself to actually get my thoughts down on the paper and formulate something that can even be compared to academic language.
The topic interest me thou, it really does.
Our little group is writing a strategic analysis of Linux and also (which is kind of my area) a suggested future strategy to increase usage, pose as a serious competitor to Microsoft and eventually make a little money.
After all that is what is expected of us business students..
To make money and chase after the holy grale of all business theory? GROWTH!
Just finished a rather un-academic article discussing the scenario of Google entering the game field, in cooperation with Morzilla launching a Linuxbased OS.
Yes I know, now all you privacy protecting people are screaming about all the tracking devices and data collection that would be embedded in that if Google were let to run free.
To that I have three things to say,
1. If you don?t like it, you are more than welcome to keep on using your hacked windows, ubunto or god forbid legal version of Windows and let them do the same thing..
2. Just imagine the stock-price if you valuate all the future consumer information collected! Microsoft would beg on their knees for just a slice of that database! (And I would make a fucking fortune on the stocks that I would buy early as hell! :D)
3. There are laws.. I know that the practice of law means to see how far you can bend it, but the laws actually hinders people from doing Exacly what they wish with gathered information..
Now I might have to formulate that in a more convincing strategic way and actually contribute some more to the paper..
See you soon my friends!

Insperation? ..from the stuff that dreams are made of..
I know I have told you about these guys before but the traffic on this blog have gone up quite a lot recently so I'll just give you the link again!
Read the explanation HERE (Or here in Swedish)and you understand why I love them and sometimes even find the time to do little adventures with them.
Keep it up guys, you rock!

Escape
Didnt get my laptop to work with the internet cable at uni so were just going home for a while writing on the project..
Got a call on the way to the buss-stop. Guincho, offshore, sun and 27 degrees and a cold beer in my hand as I sat down in the car. How could I resist?
Turned out the swell report was slightly missguiding.
It was big. Not to say huge.
Caught 2 of the, if not best, at least largest waves of my life... Plus a bunch of closeouts the size of a small house and some other fun shit!
I say it turned out to be a quite alright day after all..
Tänd ett ljus för minnet av min studiediciplin
..Ja jag vet att jag är hemsk, känslokall och fruktansvärd.
Men jag bli alltid så jävla anti så fort hela det svenska folket ska engageras i något minnesprojekt över någon som redan är död, och till på köpet så nämns tidigare offer inte med en mening!?
För satan, när ska folk inse att världen är FULL av idioter som den här senaste mördaren dom grävt fram?
När ska det sluta komma som en nyhet (och 581 aftonbladet-löp) att mänskligheten har en hel del dysfunktionella element som springer omkring och har ihjäl folk och annat spännande?
Engla mig hit och Engla mig dit, visst fan är det tragiskt att en liten flicka fallit offer för en störd människa, men ska jag gå till aktion och visa engagemang bara för att det råkar hända i lilla Sverige, och det råkar basuneras ut över samtliga kvällstidningar?
Kan sätta min vänstra pungkula på att en ytterst liten procent av alla ljuständande medmänniskor inte skulle rört en min och inte ens tittat åt en tändsticksask om historien varit 50 gånger hemskare men utspelat sig i.. säg Afrika?
Nej just det.. glömde.
Dom är ju inte SOM OSS.
För negrerna slår ju ihjäl varandra titt som tätt för att det ligger i deras RAS..
...Eller hur var det nu?
Vila i frid, alla ni som gått bort utan att förtjäna det.
Och vrid er i plågor, journalister..

Still sun, more work..
For some reason I did not get up on time today, but the willingness to work has still not left me and I am looking forward to digging my nose into the strategy book and finding out what models and analyses to devide up inbetween the more or less workwilling population of our group. To be quite frank I do belive that the work will stink in the end, but I hope for my own grades sake I am not to tired to go in and try to save the thing when I come back from the roadtrip on tuesday. The german element is fucking off to the motherland on friday, which mean very limited contribution in the asseblypart and with both me and Osgay beeing away with visitors for a few days the hope lie with the Portuguese master of far fetched ideas. Lets just hope we have everything structured and done before he gets to sink his teeth into it..
Now its a quick run by the store and then uni all day long!
See you!

Back in town
Have had visitors for the weekend.
M&J have been over from UK to check out the surf and them, Oskar and me did a road trip down south to Sagres and caught a few pretty sweet ones!
Fantastic weekend with the most amazing scenery, some bbq-experiences and sun, sun, sun wherever you would turn. (my belly is actually a bit streatchy.. haha, and I have some pretty sexy lines on my thighs as well..)
Just came back yesterday night and have literately spent the entire day at uni!
Arrived before 8 and left the main building just before sundown.. not bad, hu?
Of course the productiveness had to be celebrated with a few random Americans and Canadians found hanging around the uni residence so we did a quick beer run and enjoyed the sunset on the grassy field outside uni.
Great day I must say, and the best of it all is that I really feel up for another productive day tomorrow!
Everything to have as much time off as possible this weekend I guess!
Take care my friends and thanx for all the feedback from all over the world that has been streaming into my mailbox lately. I know you are jealous, but seriously, for most of you the flights come quite cheep and I have a perfectly good fold-out sofa in my livingroom. So stop moaning and give me a date when you are showing up!
Really psyked that the Lionking might show up this summer, that will be a BLAST!
1. Bbq
2. Cows are a LOT fucking bigger than you think.. Especially as they almost stick their head into your car window..
3. Blown out secret spot -Not the last time we check that out, thats for sure!
4. The famous 45min sunset in Sagres
5. M loking his best!
6. Praia da Bordeira (west coast) Big swell but messy.. Caught one huge one thou... (That I did not dear to do other than just stand out and let it close behind me on..)

En helg som alla andra?
Vaknar av ett irriterande pipande. Har börjat svara mycket selektivt i telefonen här nere, men när min bästa portugis-polare slår på tråden, då vaknar man, Bakfylla eller inte.
Det är lördag morgon, eller så mycket morgon som det blir i en stad där klubbarna stänger klockan 9 på morgonen..
Its roadtrip-time!
Vårt lilla svensk-tyska kollektiv har blivit inbjudna till Nunos sommarstuga, en helg av sommarens ljuva sötma och ännu ett oförglömligt minne.
Den första dagen spenderas med att besöka Portugals mest västligt belägna punkt, som de duktiga turister vi faktiskt låtsas vara!
Havet ligger azurblått ett par hundra meter under oss och tankarna på talkpåsen hemma i garderoben går inte att stoppa. Tänk att få klättra här!
Ingen klättring ligger dock på schemat idag och med fullpackade väskor beger vi oss ut på äventyrets första etapp.
Trecking "light". Då vidderna öppnar sig bara en kilometer från turiststationen vi just besökt innfinner sig känslan. Känslan av att faktiskt vara här, leva nu och att ingenting annat spelar någon roll.
Vi tar oss sakta genom den gröna massan av låga buskar som sträcker ut sig framför oss och efter inte långt börjar det slutta rejält nedför.
Rullgruset leker under fötterna och här och där måste man ta hjälp av händerna för att inte använda berget som rutchkana. Det bränner i låren men leendet sitter som klistrat i ansiktet på oss alla.
Snart öppnar sig en ravin framför oss och vi kan skymta de två enorma stenpelarna ute i vattnet och vårt mål, en strand få andra vet om.
Den sista biten avverkas i rekordfart och väl med sand mellan tårna öppnas en kall öl.
Allas blickar vänder sig upp i passet vi kommit ner genom, tysta i beundran över denna naturs fantastiska skönhet.
Efter ett dopp och lek i vågorna som slår mot stranden med full kraft och skrubbar oss rena och röda i ett slags naturlig pealing, har vi sand där vi aldrig trodde det var möjligt men är ändå lyckliga och ser fram emot nästa projekt; Barbeque!
Nog för att det fanns lite drivved på stranden och vi säkert med lite god vilja och ett par skvättar whiskey skulle kunna få till en skaplig brasa, men molnen tornar upp sig i fjärran och då ingen ser fram emot klättringen upp i berusat tillstånd, mörker och under hällregn så flyttar vi middagen till hemmets lugna vrå där vi faktiskt har en mycket väl fungerande grill.
Inte lika exotiskt visserligen, men expeditioner i ruskväder kräver som ni alla vet kläder.
Middagen blir ännu en succe och att kalla stället för en sommarstuga är som att kalla djurgåden för en kolonilott.
Tror ärligt talat det är ett av de vackraste husen jag satt min fot i.
Efter en rundvandring och mingel med de mycket få yngre människor som för tillfället finns i den här byn så kryper vi till kojs på det loft, tillika tvspelsrum som upplåtits för oss.
Det är en stor dag imorgon. En stor dag med goda rapporter.
En kort körsträcka från det underbara huset ligger ett av regionens mest kända surfspots, Praia Grande.
Idag rullar vågorna in som aldrig förr och en lätt frånlandsvind ser till att var och en av dom får perfekt form. Dånande bygger dom upp och bryter på sandbankerna utanför den långa heta sandstranden.
En hel del surfare har redan letat sig ut och antalet bodyboarders är betydligt högre än vad vi egentligen skulle önska (dvs fler än typ... 2?) men inget kan ta oss ner på jorden efter den helt fantastiska starten på helgen.
Jag surfar för dagen själv en lånad bräda, en 6'8 Spider. Första vågen och jag älskar den. Snabbpaddlad, lätt som inget annat och svänger på absolut ingen ansträngning alls. Att vågorna sedan är helt fantastiska kan eventuellt påverka min bedömning något, men vad spelar det för roll när man plockar våg efter våg framför näsan på skumgummisurfare och lineupugglor?
Armarna, axlarna och hela jag värker när jag går upp ur vattnet.
Den här sessionen kommer alltid leva i mitt minne.
Dagen avslutas med ännu en grillning snabbt ett dopp i polen innan vi beger oss tillbaka mot Lisabon just som molnen mörknar och solen gömmer sig för första gången på hela helgen!
Det är just så här det ska vara att leva.
To live in the moment.
Leva livets liv.
Over and out från Portugals paradis. /The Firemonkey
Ps. Jupp. Jag är FULLT medveten om lämpligheten i att droppa in på en portugis på bilden i mitten. Snyggt där!
NOT!
NOT!
Do I even have the ability to learn?
I dont trust a living soul on this planet. (My mother aside)
I really dont.
I tell myself that I will not be disappointed when people let me down, sooner or later it happends. Always.
But I am here to make the very best of it all.
I want to take the opportunity to do all that I can to get as much pleasure out of this as possible. Thats why.
And I like to have people that are happy around me.
So if I can help, I do.
But this is just pushing it too fucking far.
Why is it that every fucking time something is bought, I offer to pay for it.
Why is it Me that has the car, the documents, the insurance, the gasbills..?
Me who negotiates with the landlord, handling the rent, making sure things work?
Why do I offer to cook every night, when I still take part in the rest of the housechores?
Why do I feel guilty asking for money back after spending 1000Euros in a month of wich not more than 300 were on myself and far from every comunal expenditure is included amongst the bills shared..
And why am I surprised as people bitch about it? Question the sums and argue for paying less?
Why does that surprise me?
Why cant I just not understand that people dont give a shit about what I do for them or us, happily reaping the benifits and trying to sneak away as much benifits as possible for themselfs?
Why?
I know this. I preach this.
Why cant I just live it?
I really dont.

Studies.. or the lack of them
All I want is the weather to clear so that I have a good reason not to study.. But on the other hand the test tomorrow seems really interesting and I would really like to score at least semi-high on it..
Dilema.
I will also one of these days do all those things not marked with a red flag in my planer.. you know. Post pictures and write all those texts that spin around in my head, call friends and take care of myself.
Its just that its so many emegencythings to sort out first.
Like now I have to log into my bank for the first time in ages..
I am scared.
Have to upload this pic as well, the mansion where the world championship in good weekend were won a few days ago.
Its raining
...and the water is turned off.
Nice.
So lets start cooking with a few days dirty pots and pans.
Nice.
Note to self; I still live in Lisabon and just that is amazing enough not to care. On top of that I am attending a school that makes my home university seem like a sandbox for retarded babies and I just had some of the absolute best surf of my life while spending the weekend at one of the most amazing vaccation-houses I have seen in my life.
I think I am still the lucky cunt in this equation.

Thanx to Jo also for some of the pics!

Blogg.se has been down and its not my fault!
I have 2 new enteries that I will publish as soon as I get my thumb out of my arse, but right now it is about 25 degrees and sun so I will leave our now very clean livingroom and head out to the beach for the last hours of the day.. I am ashamed,but no surf today, it is quite small and the Bassmobile is at the mechanics.. I hope they will not skinn me..
School is about to kickstart and the deadlines pop up like assasins in a dark forest of threts.. I will tackle them all, just give me time!
See you soon my friends, and welcome you new readers from far far away, I dont know how you found this blog, but you keep comming back so I guess I am doing something right ;)
