ABOUT ME

One way to really feel alive is to do the unexpected. Once I joined a race in cross-country skiing i Norway. And believe me ..... it's different than going down hill. About five hundred never completed the race out of a total of three thousand that sign up.... I had only 5 days of training before the race and after 8 hours of ..... soft snow, the big mountains, the green trees, the feeling the wing against your skin, beautiful landscape and ..... a lot of sweat, passion and brutal strength I completed the race. During a food stop I met a girl from France that came to see the race. Funny that I actually meet her later on. Anyway.... There was one cool thing about the race. You had to bring a bag along with you during the entire race... It was symbolizing you rescuing a small abounded Norwegian prince, but that is a different story... A couple of weeks ago I was talking with a guy here in Toronto and guess what ...... he heard about me in the race. We live in a small world....

I really like to .... cook.... It was my grandma that originally inspired me when I was a kid. I always remember waking up at her place and running over to the living room. There was a huge table full with adventures: scrambled eggs from her own chickens, smell of homemade marmalade, fruit directly from the garden and so on. The table was an orgy of colors; red apples, yellow eggs, green vegetable salad, blue berries and even pick flowers. I was fun being a part of it. I had the responsibility for providing wood for the kitchen oven. Back then everything was made over a big sprinkling and cozy fire in the kitchen. Today I have my own style being in charge of a dinner club with some of my best friends. Sometimes they make jokes about how much I like commanding them around when it's my turn to cook. But my experience is than you can get much further doing so...There is much more fun ... beside the taste and ..... the smell. I also enjoy eating something that ... looks ... nice. Anyway, when looking on something tasty and a bit ..... spicy perhaps ... it is so much more fun when it is presented in a special .... nice way. I like taking my time to make sure to stimulate also ... the visual part of the mind... Some of mine friends think I'm overdoing it. Don't take it the wrong way, my friends are my best pals forever. But even though I respect their opinion very much I'm just being my true me. That is what life is all about.

I have a passion for bicycling. I can just keep going and going. I fell free and in total control. Not as good as making love with a girl, but a different type of adventure. Sometimes I stop to talk to strangers to learn their story. Once I was on a bicycle trip with a couple of my friends when suddenly ... the weather turned. The rain came strongly with thick heavy raindrops. I got the group to hide in a church close by where a old lady invited us for tee. She really enjoyed talking. It reminded me of my grandma and the good times when I was a kid..... I find it inspiring to talk and listen to people no matter their background. It can give you a whole new perspective on life. One of my friends I bicycle with is gay and after he jumped out of the closet his stories turned in a new direction. Personally I like have fun with girls, but I do not ... abandon one of my good friends just because we are ... different. An other friend of mine was once joking about me having a fetish .... for my bike. Great guy. I don't know what he meant, but I it's true that I enjoy a good ride.

Have you ever tried Internet dating? Once I meet this great girl on the Internet. After a couple of mails back and fourth I invited her an romantic adventure. She only had to take her toothbrush and night dress. I wanted the responsibility for the rest. I made a map with instructions where were to meet and where we would to from there. I borrowed a little cottage from a friend of mine. It is a really cozy place. I brought my best black sheets and linen made of ... mulberry silk... It quite nice ... It feels like a gentle touch, when you move the silk around you. Anyway, there was no electricity so I had to make food on a small gas oven and light the place up by candles. I decided to do present the following dish: first Italian prosciutto on fresh melon, then fried salmon with vegetables and finally a typical girls dessert. I actually brought toms of stuff there... like several bags, so no matter what happened I was able to adjust to the situation. Anyway it was really one of my best first dates. When I find a person with a great personality I really enjoy exploring that opportunity. You never know if turn out to be your new life time friend you can have fun with and... you know... help out... if there are trouble.

What do I do for work? I explore my passion for intellectual challenge. I do research. It is really all about doings things that make you fell good. An funny thing is being a teacher assistant and working very professionally with the students. They are like kids I help to break new boundaries in life... Sometimes I get this intense look from girls, you know what I mean .... right?... Some teachers actually do make out with the students. I prefer to occupy myself with a girl outside the circle, mostly because I value mine and others reputation more than getting laid. Once being a student I had a teacher, a small guy with moustache. He was going though some exercises when something strange happened..... The teacher was not sure how to solve one exercise he gave as homework. The next class he still did not have a solution .. and I made a decision... to invest my time and solve it. And I did. But that is another story. Anyway his letter of opinion included that story and has been a great help.. for example to get money to move to Canada. He will always be a good friend of mine. When thinking back about what happened I always get a good felling inside of me.

Canada is great. From the first day I was there I had a lot of fun. When siting in the plane I got mine first visit card that day. Nothing unusual about that it.... except .... one thing. The lady wrote the number of her daughter on it. I known my she will kill me for telling, but I just find it so cool. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Actually these to ladies are two of the most friendly girls I have met i Canada. The more usual things like being getting comments about my looks or girls out of one were grabbing my ass happened as well. But I sense girls are more precocious in Canada comparing to Europe. I guess they know what they want. Anyway, one of my best experiences in life was making a really strong connection with another person. I still remember looking at her and slowly seeing the tries of happiness in her eyes. Have you ever tried it? With her I just know we will stay friends forever. Personally I have three purposes in life. One of them is to bring more happiness to the world. Sometimes I just enjoy smiling to people around me you and spread positive energy. Some days ago when I was out bicycling I just stopped a some point, look a girl in her eyes and after just a few words I gave her a long warm hug. She had a sweet smile and she even said "Thank you" in a very gentle way when I was leaving. Life is great.

One of the best experiences in my life is when I truly figured out the value of trust. Some time people are so closed and never will tell you anything perhaps afraid of exposing themselves. My truly best friends in life are definitely those I'm most honest with. Some things have to stay unsaid to protect others reputation, but on any other level I can only recommend to dare to trust others. A big mistake may girls do is to take a role in relationship they think the guys are interested in. Like being cute and sexy or something like that. It is very important to get rid of that. When dating a girl I kind of create a circle of trust around us where every feeling can be unleashed without me judging the other person no matter what. This approach to life have given me a lot of fun and adventure and created strong connections with the people I care for. I like very emotional girls that enjoy felling a whole range of emotions. I find that very feminine. Then it is also extra fun to tease them, making them pissed off and cry of sadness or happiness?

My friends tell me that I'm a energetic person. And I guess I do things on that account. Once I decided, just for fun, to run a marathon together with thousands of others. I don't really like running because it usually is a lonely sport and I like to be around people. So without practice I just joined the race and it was kind of fun. After a couple of hours I was getting this strange felling ... it was the natural version of drugs getting into my body. I was like invincible. Even though I was sweating all over and pushing my body to go further and further I was feeling great. I like crossing my boundaries and try something new and extraordinary. Ones I wet a bit to far. I was having a intimate moment with a special friend of mine and at some point something ... happened ... the sweet individual passed out in my arms. After that I'm more careful about how much energy I put into the things I do. Really it is all about getting the best out of the time you have in a way that nobody get hurt. One of the best feeling I get - it's both intense and still all around me - is to feel I connect with others and sense I increase their positive energy. That is the flow of a good life.
