Not feeling it...

Been feeling like crap the last couple weeks, having a stomach thing, being tied to the bathroom is no way to do it? I can't stand it, never had any real problems with my stomach, not that I can remember da, but this is different. I'm going back to the doctor as soon as possible and have another check up. It's a sign to go if your not getting much better I'd guess. At the moment I'm checking out the World Series between the Giants and the Rangers, been a semi Giant fan ever since I saw a double header there one time. But the overall story of the Rangers is a special one. Ya ya.. it's a 7 game series and that means at least 4 games and in the MLB many things can happen in a series like this one.. Baseball is huge in the states, I like the championship series's and the world series. These guys can play their game and it's something that I was always afraid to do, I tried a couple times, but I never really liked it, hmm to busy playing hoops and playing golf with the free time during summer vacation. It was never until I came to Norway that being a professional was important, had a family, all that comes with that and I thought it was fun, I am happy that life has given me the chance I have now though, not that being a pro again is out of the question, but that is a looooong time from now I'd suppose da ,-) Got to get watching the baseball and see what's up.. Later Folks...

New Season

Yeah, yeah... My high school boys team has their first game tomorrow and I am excited about it too. I can see in the kids that they are ready to rumble and get after it. There is nothing better. Well, of course there is, my kids giving me hugs and kisses, my wife, friends... there are situations, but not very many that are more exciting as a player though as the first regualr season game. I'm hoping the boys have some calmness within their game, staying in control, make good choices, understand that there is a difference between playing fast and rushing. When players rush they make mistakes, when they play fast, within themselves, then they have a chance for success and to really have the max fun possible playing the game. Bla bla bla... I know. I can't really even understand it myself, sometimes I wonder, I know there are people reading my dribble, maybe sometimes it helps someone, and that of course the whole reason to do it. I hope that it's possible anyway. I know it is and I really do enjoy it. Guess I'm just rambling on here. I am looking forward to see how much we've improved since our last preseason game. Ya ya.. better get going to bed here soon. Have a good one everyone!

Burning for "it"...

I am wondering how to get others to burn for something, anything, to get them to be so engaged in soemthing that it takes on a almost 'holy' nature for the individual. How to do this? Or is it even possible, I know you can motivate a person to do just about anything, experts will say that it's all about having the correct motivation. But that is not what I'm talking about, I believe the difference between being motivatied to do something and burning for 'it' is a difference as large as night and day. If I burn for something then the motivation to do 'it' is much less, or is it not? Or is it the other way around the more you burn the more you are motivated to do 'it'? I believe if you really burn for something than the motivation to do it comes of itself, and if you just like doing something than the motivation is harder to 'get' or have in the long run. I burn for my family, all the players in the basketball club, all kids I meet in general and at one time golf. These things need no extra motivation for me, I do them because I burn for them, it's like I have to, almost like not having a choice in the matter, the silent pusher of wills if you may.... I wish I could bottle it, sell it to the highest bidder... the true burn for something not of or for oneself..  just because you can't live without it and it burns deep within you being, start today, make a list of all the things you burn for, and see where the motivation comes from, see if you can track it, understand it and embrace it.

For the Love of all that's Good....

For the love of all that is good in this life, please click on the link below and read the truth about the silent killer Aspartame. I heard about this many years ago while listening to a radio show, and I did the research then and I just feel like it's my duty as a human being to warn people to the scary world that does not want the rest of humanity to actually understand. This is a killer and the proof is there.

On the lighter/better side of life.... No golf to speak of, saw a little of the ryder cup and enjoyed the incredible shots and putts. That being said, I watched maybe a total of say 3 hours total. Seeing the euros win is ok to, after living here for 15+ years has made me I guess a little euro myself da. But just a very little... ,-) The hoops team won their preseason game tonight with ease and that was a good way to start the season. Amanda is enjoying learning bball and seems to take to it really easy, some might say it's in her blood and I guess they'd be right in some degree. The little guy likes the days he's at kindergarten, learning some social skills 'on his own' in a way....seems to have fun and has always a big smile and hug for pappa. T is working with her nursing a lot and is enjoying that. Life is moving along and that in itself is a good thing.
Take care all the visitors and be good to oneanother.

Coming to Grips

I've heard that phrase many times in my life, almost always in regards to a negative thing though, like you coming to grips with your dog died. Anything that has a negative conatation seems to fit with coming to grips, about anything. Maybe I'm wrong, mabye you can come to grips over something good as well, I have never really thought about it to much. Other than right now of course. I am or should say have come to grips over the golf pro work, making the choice was a coming to grips thing for me, it turned out to be a positive thing in the end, but at the time it wasn't and I guess that's what I mean, it seems always to be a negative thing. Like coming to grips that I'd never, ever, play in the nba, that was a big coming to grips thing in my life, it came earlly but after a while and looking back, it was, for me a good thing. Coming to grips with it, not that I didn't make the nba ,-) I guess one could look at coming to grips with something as a possible learning experience and just take it from there? Maybe life is just one big coming to grips lesson, maybe everything you experience is just that, a coming to grips with the exact situation that one is experiencing that enables one to look back at hard times and live on.

Eric B. & Rakim

It was almost like I forgot about these guys, great old school rap, great scratching and the lyrics are great. Brings back lots of memories, good ones too, ballin to the tunes on the boom box, at the park, the gym, the church, the ally, the school, anywhere.. jamin to the tunes at the same trying to jam it... Been checkin out this thing called spottify and it's been super cool to check out how good my memory is for the old school dudes I like to listen to, chill to, ball to, and just about anything too, got to like em, at least I do... Nothing going on here in Saltnes golf wise, the Ryder Cup has been on for a little while today, Leon and I met a couple friends to look at gym and play around with the kids. Hoping of course the US wins the cup again this year, it's close now and that's always fun for the fan. I have a little mixed feelings sometimes, I pull for the states but I am really rooting for everyone, it's fun to see the guys making the shots, the putts... but someone has to lose da.. Gots to go now ... Take it easy and check out the boys...
