Back from Amsterdam....

Hey everybody!

Just got back from Amsterdam yesterday, 10 min before kick-off - FC Midtjylland-FCK. Nice timing! Let me just say 4-1 is a very nice performance lads, you truly make me proud.

Anyways, we had an awesome trip to Amsterdam. Lotte (my friend from my year in the US) and her boyfriend Jochanan were great hosts and very hospitable as always! Thanks a lot for a great time guys!

What did we do, while we were there?

Well, first of all we ate out a lot, Amsterdam is a bit more cheaper than Copenhagen so we took advantage of that...he he

We went on a canal cruise, toured the Anne Frank House, very depresseive but yet very interesting and I must say it was worth waiting 50 min in line for! Other than that Mary were in a great shopping mood, however I'm not sure she shopped enough, but then again can she ever reach that point? We also walked down almost every street of the city and went to the beach.

I must tell you about the prank from Amsterdam. On friday afternoon I got an SMS from Christian asking if I wanted to hook up for a beer later on that night, so obviously I replied: Yeah I'm in Amsterdam! A couple of hours later he replied: Yeah, we're on our way, be there in 5 hours! So I immediately called him up and could hear Jens cursing in the car with him. Shit they're on their way! So they arrived in Amsterdam at about 8 p.m. that night after 9 hours of driving. They had spareribs and stopped by the Elf where the rest of us were having dinner, and stayed for a beer. Then we all walked through the Red Light District, and then they went back to Copenhagen at midnight!!! Before they left they said: Yeah, the spareribs in Amsterdam are great, now lets get the fuck out of here!! I still cannot believe they did this, I have tons of respect and admiration for a stunt like that. Here I am in Amsterdam with my friends and girlfriend having a nice dinner, and these two boneheads stop by! Crazy shit, but well done my boys, I will never forget it!

Let me just once again thank Lotte and Jochanan for being the greatest of hosts, hope to see you again in Copenhagen soon!

Drunken nights....and big concerts coming!!!

Hi all!

I just realized I haven't updated my site in ages, I must admit a lot has happended since my last update.

First of all congrats to Eugen and Louise for their cute baby boy - Lucas! I signed him up as a member of the FCK Fan Club the day he was born so I guess you can say he is off to a great start!!!

Mary and I are currently working on our trip to Amsterdam and it turns out I didn't just win one ticket but two! Nice, we're leaving on April 5th and return on the 9th. I think its about time I take some time off, I've only had two weeks off from work in the last year - American standards!!!!Oh well....transsibiria is also around the corner....

The drunken nights - I went out with El Ron "the legend" Travolta and the Spanish frigate Jimenez on a thursday night a few weeks ago. We checked out Heidi's downtown, however Jimenez bailed out at 1 .am. The Legend stayed out by himself until 6 a.m. I don't think I need to explain the legend any further - RESPECT! Euge also stopped by during the warmups that night at my house, he was very confused on whether or not to go for one last escape before becoming a daddy!

Spring is right around the corner and so is a few hardcore concerts for me. I bought tickets for Pearl Jam at Forum on June 26th and Metallica in Århus on July 13th. I guess you can say I'm in for a hardcore time...can't wait. This will be my 3rd PJ concert and my 2nd Metallica concert. Hopefully Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam will salute my site by singing "Alive".....

Thats all for now, but trust me Eddie and Lars Ullrich will be on here soon enough. Have fun!

Free trip to Amsterdam for me.....

A little funny story I want to share with you!

Yesterday, Mary and I went to the annual travel exhibition at Bella Centret, just to find a little inspiration and to look at all the interesting offers out there.

About half and hour before closing we passed Transavia's stand (a dutch low-cost airfare agency), and they had a competition where you had to fold an airplane out of a piece of paper and get it to fly through a 20-30 cm wide hole in a roll-up screen. I made it!!!!

My Prize: A free r/t ticket Copenhagen-Amsterdam! The funny part is that Mary and I were planning on going down there over easter anyways, originally we wanted to drive but now we'll fly! Nice.....aiming buddy!

I also strongly want to encourage you all to go to the exhibition next year, I mean you can always just go and collect a free ticket to Amsterdam! But seriously, some of the offers were incredible: 10 day luxury safari in South Africa - 12.000 kr. (normal price 16.000).

But Transsibiria it still is for Mary and me.... but first we're going to Amsterdam! See you soon Lotte!

Happy New Year!!!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Thanks for a great year! I can honestly say that 2006 was a perfect year that started for me on the other side of the world - Thailand and Singapore where I spent two incredible weeks with my family. When I came back Mary was waiting for me at the airport after spending six months as a trainee in the Philippines. Mary and I moved in together in my appartment in Valby for the first six months, but her homesickness to Amager put us on the move to Amager six months later in July, and here we are....

Shortly after that Garret came and visited me for a month, I hope to see you for Signe's wedding in May mahr!!!! Anyways we had a great time, with our trip up to Christians parents cabin in Skeikampen, Norway as the highlight. Not to forget our long nights at the Scottish Pub listening to Neil Brophy's version of Neil Young's "Old man"....
Another highlight was definitely getting hired as a Sales Rep. at Kivex in Hørsholm - my career was finally on a serious move....a business trip to Ireland is definitely also worth mentioning! "Aaaalright man, enough seriosity - let's go to the f#!&%¤g pub!", said with an Irish accent, was one among a few laughs I had in Ireland!
FCK - Danish Champions, Royal League Champions, 1st ever Qualification for the Champions League.. which takes me to one of the biggest highlights - my trip to Manchester with my dad watching Man United-FCK in the Champions League. One of my biggest childhood dreams came true right there. I owe you one Pops! You're only singing when you're winning! We lost the game on the pitch but definitely won on the stands, it was amazing!!!

2007 upcoming highlights:

Signe and Morten's Wedding (Late May)
Traveling on the Trans-Sibirian Railway through Russia, Mongolia and China with Mary (Summer)
Find a nice guy for Ms. Jessica Soriano, pics of her will be posted soon (This is just the beginning Jess :)
FCK, FCK, FCK, and FCK (ALL YEAR)

Best new years wishes! See you in 2007, well..... some of you anyways!
