So what is this “in between” you ask.. Well it’s everything about where I am right now. The culmination of the past year with all the different events that took place and kept me quite occupied has turned into the great in between. The what next phase. Not these past events and not the future, just the now. Now is where I make the choices that will shape what is to come. I’ve resently made a choice that might set my course in a steady forward motion for about four years and I feel kinda’ good about it. But right now it’s just the in between.
The word desert comes to mind. I’ve heard that God will lead us into different types of deserts to prepare us for the coming tasks He has instored. Funny thing is, I feel like a huge change has occurred in my life and it started at about last summer with a deeply spiritual experience and it’s been developing ever since and kept growing especially round and after the holidays. Now the desert would represent the “back to normal” life. Friends gone off to study in other towns and me still here. I guess this is the part where I truly must rely on God. And so far so good. He is reliable!
I wrote a list of things to do. Some things daily and some things at a regular basis. So far I’ve managed it alright but not completely. So that’s what’s keeping me busy at the moment but still there’s that in between feeling. Another in between actually makes me smile. I’ve been hoping for God to move mountains. For if anyone can, it is He.

Så har året gått. Ett lite försenat nytt år blogg men what the hey… huh, where to begin? Nå En annorlunda jul gick med gårrabra tablå o familj. Jul annandags kvällen gick i gott sällskap med vänner, mat, film och djupa diskussioner kring livet. Söndagen efter inleddes övningar inför Nyårslägret. En Marshall 1936V 2×12 inskaffades, vilket uppskattades när jag senare fick beröm för mitt clean sound. Spelandet gick bra och mycket skratt ingick.
Själva nyårsafton var den mest intressanta dagen. Vi skulle spela efter tolvslaget och kanske stress från det orsakade ett illamående som pågick hela dagen o intill följande morgon när jag vaknade av ett nästan febrigt tillstånd. Dock fick jag ej feber och jag kunde delta resten av lägret. I kyrkan sjöng vi med gospelkören med Iselin sista gången som dirigent. Det var ett av tillfällen där illamåendet försvann och jag kunde ge lite extra for the special occasion. Tolvslaget var häftigt som inleddes med bön och spelandet gick bra. Dagens höjdpunkt var dock Paddington keikkan…
Nu är vi då inne i dom sista lediga dagarna för de som snart återgår till sina studier och jag har haft en väldigt givande och konstruktiv kväll med en god ja vågar jag säga bästa vän. Plus att vi lirat lite pro evolution soccer och att jag har haft en hatt på mig. Ja så var är jag då efter ett år.. kanske lite klokare, kanske lite äldre, lite visare. men bara lite 
Vad som ännu är framför vet jag ej. Men jag har hopp om att detta år kan vara det allra bästa hittills.
Blessed New Year!

one look to the right, a few seconds, a glance, a realization and a whole day before it kicks in. that one missed opportunity. the consequences… one, two, three they speak. i’m in the middle, just out of reach. new face, new friend, good friend.

I searched for words to describe what I experienced today and this song came to mind. “I knew this was Jesus”. I felt His spirit touch my heart. Glory to God! Amen!

There’s metal and there’s metal. It really doesn’t matter what you lable it as, it’s still metal. If it’s fast, slow, aggressive, melow, moody, melodic. It’s not to everyone’s liking and some like this metal and not that metal. Point is I enjoy metal. Listening to it right now. A song which is rich in diversity with clean guitars, heavy guitars, heavy drumming, raspy vocals and nice melodies, Blind Guardian.
Thanks to the lovely program with which you can listen to music for free I’ve had the chance to find bands I’ve lost touch with and their new stuff. It’s quite excellent! The thing that originally drew me to this type of music was hanging out in my brother’s room and he’d always have som metal on. I used to like the guitarsolos and at some point started to want to be able to play them… nostalgia. ah the lovely 80’s hard rock bands.
Well a little different this time. Not so much deep thinking about life stuff but just appreciating music and this time this particular kind of music.
Ps. Dream Theater Rocked in Helsinki and people who like that sort of music might want to check out “Dominici” DT’s old singer’s band. and maybe James Labrie’s solo stuff too.
Feel free to comment you thoughts about metal or just music or the 80’s why not
