March Madness is Coming!!

There is less than an month until IT starts... March Madness is the one event every year that is sooo exciting that yes, it can be posted and maybe even more often than I do. The ncaa college basketball tourny is the best, in my opinion anyway, the best championship in sports and it's hard to match for any other sport, any...The nba has it's playoffs, which is good, but it's not, win you continue towards a possible championship or you go home. One and your done.. Not a series, which enables the underdog to have a real chance, which is on of the best things about sports, I think anyway.  Which team wins has to win 6 games in a row over many weeks of stress and fun... Looking forward to it? I am. Have also been watching the college hoops that I get here in Norway, I get espen america which is a good channel, which shows the most of american sports except for nba and nfl. Those two are so big that you have to have a pay for it channel or watch/buy something online. Bla bla...

Nothing muxh really happening here in the land of snow and ice.. more of that came down yesterday and last night, now is enough, more than enough if you asked me and I'm the one asking ;-) Life goes on, trying to make the best out of one's situation is what life is all about. Is having a good life really just about working hard at it? Or is having a good life not having to? Maybe a bit of both? For me anyway, life, and being happy is work, but it can be and often is fun. Not always though, and it is these times that I have to remember that life is all about keeping at it... Whatever it is the 'it' might be. For me the it has to do with my kids, friends and the people I coach. Maybe that short list should be better, longer or whatever, but for me, having a short is a good thing and I am all about keeping things simple. That is often always my advice to my kids, friends and my students.. keep things simple and it will be easier to 'manage' ones life and thus, one's happiness.

Tiger lost in the Accn. Match Play tourny the other day... wonder what is happening with that man, his skills set is the best in the world, has the ability to be the best, no one doubts that, but one has to see the results of his play the last year.. Not Tiger-ess and it's a little sad for me to watch. He has been my favorite golfer since he won the us amature tournament at Pumkin Ridge, just outside of Portland, Or. I was working there when he won it, was amazing to see, it was like he was willing the ball in the hole, and I can't ever remembering seeing something like that. I am maybe one of the few, but I really like Tiger, even after he stepped on his own success with being stupid with the chicks... I didn't want to believe that he'd done all that, but it's his personal life and I think that should remain that.. Just my two cents.

A long post here, but like all good things, they seem to come to an end and this is no exception. So later folks, be good, love each other, be supportive, listen and then love some more.... Peace out.

Changes....

As you can see around the blog there are some changes happening on it. Putting up some ads for a couple different things. A donation button and the like too. Why? For the fun of it really. The eventual monies that might be made are just fun money. Finding out the how's, do's and don'ts to set it up took some investment, both in time and money, but that's ok and I think it's fun so what's the harm? Have been a little quiet on the posting because of that and other things da.. Maybe other changes will be coming down the road as well...? That's the great thing about life isn't it? You never really know what is going to happen, until it does. Of course one can 'make' things happen through hard work and dedication, but it does not make anything 'a for sure thing'... A thing called luck has something to do with it. Maybe it's just life? If there is ONE thing I am certain of here in this life, and that's you never know what's going to really happen, one can plan for the best things, but there is always a chance, no matter how big the chance is, but there is always one that can make things happen either way, or what?

Not much else happening here in Norway golf wise... There is somekind if ski thing in Oslo this weekend and there is a lot of talk about that here, but around most other places on the planet I can only assume that most are using their time and energy on something else than watching cross country sking, or maybe I'm out of touch? Don't think so also ;-) There is still LOTS of snow here, we have had a whole winter with snow and ice and I'm really waiting for spring to get here and then maybe, just maybe we'll have a real nice summer. Gotta go....

Back in Business...

Yada... Been busy as of late, both with my own physical things and work. The head is better I guess, maybe the concusion was a good thing? Nah, never can, hitting your head on the ground that hard is never good... But like someone has said to me, 'I am a little hard headed sometimes and maybe this time it was a big help...' Anyway... Back in Business... I am hoping for the best tomorrow.. going to try and sell the Burban and get something a bit cheaper to drive, insure and all the rest.. It's been fun to have, but it is WAY to expensive to have an older burban like mine... I have never had any problems with it really.. but a 16 year old car will always have 'something', so... Maybe tomorrow is the day? Hope so. Gotta go to bball practice! Be good peoples and remember that love and kindness will get you more out of life than the opposite da..

Concussions

Have had them before, and got one at bball the end of last week, uff da one can say. Hitting ones head is no good, and when it's your own fault it's even more stupid. Maybe during the winter I should walk around with somekind of helmet? I am lucky and seem to be getting better, have a small headache still, and am staying as relaxed as possible, doctor's orders. Good to have a good dr, means a lot actually and after switching to my new one, I am SUPER happy and feel like I can talk with him and all that good stuff vet du. Nothing really happening otherwise, I am a little behind on the basketball blogg for the team, they are waiting for me to publish the stats for the last three games, and if there are any of you players that read this, which I doubt, but if you do, I'll be putting them up tonight sometime.

On to something else da, I have been having fun seeing where some of my visitors are from and seeing what or how they find the site, interesting search terms sometimes but it's cool to see that people from all over the world are direct linking to this 'site'. My blabberings about life and god knows what, ikke sant? I know it's weird. I am weird maybe too,  but it's always fun and in some way maybe a bit unnerving that there are actully people following along. People I don't know, at all, but I do say, when someone does take the time to contact me with questions, comments, suggestions, whatever, I do appreciate it and always look forward to meeting new and nice people. Of course if this 'site' does anything, I mean if it really happens, that I 'help' someone, somehow, by sharing my life, ya ya... then it's worth it... Right?

Everyone has their doubts, fears, struggles, you know? I know I've had my share, both good and bad. Almost everyone has, I guess it's how one deals with it that makes the biggest difference in the 'end result' of our lives. Some people will say, you have to 'learn' to deal with it. Or, you just have to forget it, move on. I don't think you can forget anything, it's there some place in the mind, if one could only know how to get all those memories on somekind of digital something and maybe there will be a chance for us all? Things are good, I beleive that most humans are good, have goodness within them, and it's these people I hope find my 'site' and enjoy I guess my tidbits and 'contribution' to the global 'mind' of our reality.... Be kind to one another peoples and think of peace, harmony and love for the masses.. Gotta go.

Duke and Bubba

Was so great to see Bubba Watson win the last tournament this past weekend, made a great birdie putt after an ok sand shot on the 18th. Got to like a guy named Bubba. He's a self made pga player, never really had any instruction and seems to have done pretty good for himself. I think it's his third victory total and his second this year. Have followed him since his rookie year and have been waiting or should I say hoping to see him come out of his shell. I like all the guys who have a 'non-textbook' swing and that have 'done it on their own'... And then later last night I watched the Duke vs St Joseph's and St Joe's really gave it to the Blue Devils. It's not often that I get to see them get crushed but they did in that game ;-) I can almost think that coach K almost looks forward to those kinds of loses in a small way, gives them quite a few things to work on plus it's so very seldom it happens... Bla bla bla... Going to watch some other games now too... Gotta love college hoops! Those kids just busting theri butts for the love of the game, they do it for free and get a good education in addidtion. I know it must be impossible to not 'come out earlly' for many players. but the ones that go four years in college and then the nba, well, those guys have my utmost respect, even though I completetly understand those players that choose to be pro's asap. Money, money, money... Uff da... Good bye world, be good and peace 2 U all. . .
