How many legs does this elephant have?

Av Pelle - 16 januari 2009 23:18

I have come out from the cloud of confusion at work lately, after some hectic running in the fast lane together with all the big elephants. Very tiresome process mentally, but often needed for a while to get up in the right speed and to get in control over the situation. 3 months of that have unfortunately not given me enough time or energy to focus on anyting else. Not good in the overall life perspective. I wont let that be a continous situation for to long, instead I will soon take a firm grip of the whip and make the big old elephants dance according to my rythm. Or perhaps I will be one of the big old elephants myself? I will then make sure that there will be some more funny dancing.

Woke up early (03.30) with my head full of things to do, so it was just to get connected and start doing some work. Some nights there are lots of bright ideas that arise in a semi-subconcious state of mind. It can happen in a similar way when I'm out running and not is focused on work at all (like background processing in the BG partition of the mainframe), so I better capture thoughts and ideas by writing all creative stuff down before they disappear from my brain.

I've had an extra busy schedule all day and it seems like I actually function better when I'm extremely tired. No energy for my crazy mind to go on any mental walkabouts. Full focus on the tasks.

Now, I will hit the sack.

Jim has gone through some surgery at the hospital today including having anaesthetic. Always a bit scary. It all went well. His Doctor was Hungarian and called something like Zsouzse. Very professional, no doubt about that, but I made quick associations to the movie "The usual suspects" and the scene in which the fictional character called Keyser Söze killed his wife, children and some guys from the Hungarian mob, before he lets one guy run off to tell the rest of the mob to not fuck with Keyser Söze. That's a really crazy scene. The movie is very very good by the way. Keyser Söze  was actually supposed to be a Turkish gangster, not Hungarian.

"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist."

Jim's Doctor Zsouzse was a young female, so that proves even more how strong impression the Keyser Söze character made on me once upon a time. More or less only a similar name.

I once had a Doctor in Skövde called Struul. He was Norweigan. Still OK ;-)

On a Sterling flight to Toronto in the 80's, the flight captain was called Suurballe (Danish), which is a little bit fun in Swedish, even more so knowing that he's working in the Cockpit.

Running 13 km's today & 20 km's yesterday, makes me feel very good. Still some injury problems with the right heel and the left ancle, but not worse than I can handle cruising speed (6 min/km) without to much pain. It's actually worse when I'm walking. I need to keep up the training volume & frequency now over the winter period, more than ever before, because the rest of the MC-gang are extremelly motivated & diciplined with all kind of training activities & weight losing programs etc, so 2009 will be an interesting year for sure. I don't wanna be falling behind the rest of the pack.

Todays Premier League game between Man Utd - Chelsea was as beautiful as I predicited in my blog the other day. 3-0 with one extra correct goal not given. My hero of today was Ji-Sung Park who worked harder than anyone else. He is probably the most famous South Korean in the world. Excuse me Mr Ban Ki-Moon. It's not enough to be the United Nations Secretary General, when JS Park manage to be a regular starter in the Man Utd squad. Komapsumnida Ji-Sung!

Friday evening. Yeaaah! But unfortunately I have to spend it as a Local IT Support guy, fixing our home computer, that seems to have crashed or being attacked by virus or something.

"Windows XP cannot find browseui.dll"

None of my attempts to run repair activities have been succesful, so now it's a complete reinstallation of XP that I'm doing. No fun losing lots of stuff but but ... that's life, just f-cking technology.

I'm not a very patient IT user normally and these kind of activities are just soooo boring and even if you manage to get it working yourself, you have lost some good time + lots of nice settings and files. At other times I've got help from Victor to fix all kind of computer things. He's a real pro, working with ADSL/broadband internet support for Tele2.

I'm happy to work with other things than these kind of hands-on IT shit nowadays. Even when I have to call the Helpdesk at work, I often get frustrated due to stress on my own side. The poor service technican is most often very friendly & helpful, but all kind of small incidents for me as a user can often create a bad mood, since they have decided to occur at the wrong times. Soon we probably have to get used to have an Indian technican helping us. That will be even more interesting.

So who is the greatest leader in the world of today? Gunde Svan is doing a great job as the Swedish XC skiing team manager and Sir Alex Ferguson is still going strong at Man United, but perhaps their overall impact for the total population of the world can be discussed. Some might say that Dalai Lama is the most influencial individual that is living today, some other already say (or want to believe) that it will be Barak Obama. I suppose that it depends on where in the world that you live or perhaps your general belief in the global game that is ongoing.

Last night we watched the movie Goodbye Bafana, that covered parts of the prison time for Nelson Mandela in South Africa. Knowing what I'm knowing, I think that he is a good candidate for the title. Now over 90 years old, but still with a very bright mind and strong charisma. He has definately played a significant role both locally to get rid of apartheid, but also as an icon for the equal human rights globally. In 1990 I was backpacking in Africa for some months and happened to be in Malindi on the Kenyan coast on February 11 when they released him after 27 years in prison. It was fantastic celebrations everywhere and lots of partying, even though he had no direct political influence in that region of Africa. His long fight and dedication for his believes had given him a super-mega-star status everywhere and especially amongst the black African population. It was beyond anything that I had seen before and I realized how big he was first when I was there. He also always appears to be in total control with a smile on his face. Even if he has retired officially, he's a Great man! I rank him as number 1, just ahead of Sir Alex ;-) On Sunday it's time to show Chelsea how to play football. My prediction is 4-0, including a hat trick by Berbatov.

13 km's running today & 10 km's yesterday is a pretty good comeback start, after my 3 weeks long sickness period. Let's see if I can keep this pace up, then I will be a sub 4 hour marathoner again during 2009. I will not set up any other specific targets for this year yet. First I will se how the winter season develops and how I feel after Vasaloppet. I also need to put my life priorities right. Running etc is a part of my lifestyle, so there will always be some room for it, even though I have to accept some decline in quality from time to time. I know how bad I can feel when I'm sick or injured for just a week or two without any training, so it has to be a priority activity, if the other sides of life shall be good as well. Life is Good (LG).
