Got a hair cut today, spontaneously I walked in to barber shop. From the outside it could be mistaken for a ordinary hair dresser. You know, with some fancy pink chairs some lights behind the mirrors and shelfes filled up with crazy products....<br />
Anyway, I came in and his happy face just incendered with a big smile. It made me smile.<br />
While he was cutting my hair he was constantly trying to sell his products, he was going on and on how popular his products were, how important it was for him to satisfy customers.., and so on.. The whole time I was smiling and being polite. Maybe threw in a little joke here and there.<br />
Then he said, "my products will make you happy, they will make you glow and spread out your energy and make people happy". Thats when I realized : He wasnt really trying to sell products, he was creating happiness for his customers...<br />
<br />
Because of him Im smiling right now, we should all be smiling more!!!Nemohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13069439369984802473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583235012238954721.post-45666861692603736392011-12-22T21:58:00.000+01:002011-12-22T21:58:40.612+01:00X-mas<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:HyphenationZone>21</w:HyphenationZone> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>SV</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/> <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/> <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--"/> <m:smallFrac m:val="off"/> <m:dispDef/> <m:lMargin m:val="0"/> <m:rMargin m:val="0"/> <m:defJc m:val="centerGroup"/> <m:wrapIndent m:val="1440"/> <m:intLim m:val="subSup"/> <m:naryLim m:val="undOvr"/> </m:mathPr></w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

We just rumble around in our own little bubble without any concern for others and others well being. <br />
We are constant under development. In this busy world we are chasing success in form of materialistic goals and achieving success in your career. It seems like we forget about the really important things in life and do not appreciate things that really matter, like just being kind to each others. We give each other the cold shoulder, we look the other way when we really should have reached out a hand. We need to get a grip and let our impulses run the show and act on our feelings and reach out a hand randomly to any one who might need it.<br />
Sometimes its going to feel weird and uncomfortable but in the end when you get that smile and a thank you, you realize it was all worth it... and it will eventually feel like most natural thing in life.<br />
<br />
Here Im going to post inlays about R.A.K and give people ideas and tell stories about randomly kind things that has happened to me or others, maybe just small things like giving a coffee to a hobo, or greater things like saving some ones life.<br />
<br />
So guys, get out there and be kind to each other and remember what goes around comes around!!!Nemohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13069439369984802473noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583235012238954721.post-90302221967860855962011-11-09T12:30:00.000+01:002011-11-09T12:30:13.885+01:00AIR<span style="font-size: large;">Everytime you take a breath its there, you take it for granted.

</div>In Karlstad, there is an expression that the sun always shines in Karlstad, it has the origin from a roumor about a waitress who worked at one of the taverns. She was always happy and spread joy around her. You can find a statue of her outside "Stadshotellet"<br />

Since 1999 Karlstad has its own university with more than 10000 students.

The water system is taken advantage of, and has helped to shape the citys character. Moats, sluices, marinas, taxi/bus boats and the many bridges.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Karlstad is almost completely surrounded by wilderness, just a twenty minute drive in any direction from the city core you will experience almost untouched and unexplored places. Everything from small fishing ponds to canals where its perfect to launch a canoe. And if you're lucky or unlucky, depending on how you see it, you might spot a wolf or a moose.<br />
If wilderness and nature experiences do not appeal to you, there are other ways to be entertained, for instance a visit in the opera house or in the theater.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVYDWYUw5Cuz9FMgtOPUCTIE71S0Dbx-42LxD8MHzllNWT5knxF6bi8IogqsCEBtlDSVYMOTFGmXJ4EV1xZNrFrEFi2bQhQz9-CWg15HSEZ43FWpFl_o4WU7NMFs_TH_hHaB0QlOjMk_l/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVYDWYUw5Cuz9FMgtOPUCTIE71S0Dbx-42LxD8MHzllNWT5knxF6bi8IogqsCEBtlDSVYMOTFGmXJ4EV1xZNrFrEFi2bQhQz9-CWg15HSEZ43FWpFl_o4WU7NMFs_TH_hHaB0QlOjMk_l/s200/021.JPG" width="149" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_2klFXVFimJEI5mUhZE99-DAFBGjunCSG5kRUDN5Q2HFdfZEg9n766CI6Zcez5tpj1ihXpUr93IeqK_aETk_KRGJgXZN77cC3-Fe2sdwN_VKBDiHmMgMuYVGmD1yCSk8-R17xfap-eUj/s1600/123.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5_2klFXVFimJEI5mUhZE99-DAFBGjunCSG5kRUDN5Q2HFdfZEg9n766CI6Zcez5tpj1ihXpUr93IeqK_aETk_KRGJgXZN77cC3-Fe2sdwN_VKBDiHmMgMuYVGmD1yCSk8-R17xfap-eUj/s200/123.JPG" width="149" /></a>Like in many other cities, you have a selection of places where you can be served a good meal. Everything from a classic swedish home cooked meal to an excotic thai menu can be found in Karlstad. Most of the restaurants and the bars are located down town by the town square. <b>Tom Yam </b>(Thai) is a must visit place for anyone who knows to appreciate a good thai meal, the food and the atmosphere here is outstanding. For a home cooked meals (Trad. Swedish) in very convival enviroment you should visit <b>Munken</b>.(<a href="http://www.restaurangmunken.se/" target="_blank">www.restaurangmunken.se)</a> <b>Via Appia</b> is a good choice where you will find a selection of typical mediterranean food with a Swedish touch. In the summer, the roof terrace of <b>Via Appia</b> is outstanding!(<a href="http://www.nyaviaappia.se/" target="_blank">www.nyaviaappia.se</a>) Along the bar street by the town square you have a choices of diffeerent bars who are also serving food like hamburgers and sallads. For fashionable drinks or nightcaps I strongly recommend <b>Koriander</b> wich turns into a night club at late hours.

I have been around, seen places, met people, made connections, made good friends, endured pain, laught alot, expirenced great things, and learned alot about myself. Travelling makes me feel alive and are one of many things that gives me the feeling of joy. <br />
<br />
One of my big passions in life is skiing. I just love to put my gear on, hit the mountain and just shred the fresh powder.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtCtN4CNV3Sns8jc77BOSFqB56WyveZMeJd7i9zP4jIQN3MC1HudeGG9kj0NfpkZn3xivWqWcmUjEY4dAH9qFhh0ANjX1jJKi1NiGwG2tTJe9rD8qfUDIjXfrEPdApWjhyphenhyphenBWo69Ey51uj/s1600/DSCN7924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZtCtN4CNV3Sns8jc77BOSFqB56WyveZMeJd7i9zP4jIQN3MC1HudeGG9kj0NfpkZn3xivWqWcmUjEY4dAH9qFhh0ANjX1jJKi1NiGwG2tTJe9rD8qfUDIjXfrEPdApWjhyphenhyphenBWo69Ey51uj/s320/DSCN7924.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>A couple of years ago I went to Rossland, British Colombia Canada, to do a season of downhill skiing.<br />
The nearby mountain, Red mountain, (<a href="http://redresort.com/" target="_blank">redresort.com</a>) is not one of the largest resorts, but theres a large freeriding area around it. Just a 20 minute hike and you can get runs you´ve always dreamed about.<br />
Since the resort is quite small, and theres not any large citys nearby its not excactly crowded there either, so you can go on and on for days in untouched powder. But dont get me wrong, theres is enough people there to have good time and make som new friends.<br />
<br />
The town, Rossland (<a href="http://www.rossland.com/" target="_blank">www.rossland.com</a>) is located between Vancouver and Calgary almost down at border to the US.<br />
Its an old town established for those who chased fortune in gold, actually Red mountain is full of mines and mining sites.<br />

</tbody></table>The town is a genuine and cosy little town, which is big enough to room everything you need for enjoying an entire season, like a couple of bars, cafès, restaurants, ski and snowboard shops and a supermarked. Check one of them out, Rossvegas. (<a href="http://www.rossvegasboardshop.com/" target="_blank">http://www.rossvegasboardshop.com</a>)<br />
The neighbour community is called Trail, its a larger town you can go to if you feel theres something missing, e.g if you wanna go swimming, or see a movie at the theatre, or if you are so unfortunate that you need a hospital.<br />

How to get here:? We flew in to Vancouver, rented a car at the airport, wich is quite affordable if you are 3 persons or more. There is also the possibility to go by bus, the Greyhound (<a href="http://greyhound.com/" target="_blank">greyhound.com</a>), this is the cheapest and slowest alternativ. A third possibility is to fly in to Castlegar wich is about 40 km from Rossland, from here you take a local bus or a taxi. Keep in mind that Castlegar is known as Cancelgar due to the many flights that are cancelled from here.<br />
<br />
Our season we spent in Rossland has given me alot of great memories that makes happy when I think of it and I can watch the pictures we took over and over again even though its over 3000 pics...<br />
It was a season with alot of snow, good times and a lot of nice people and I really recommend you all to go here for the ultimate skibum experience!"Nemohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13069439369984802473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-583235012238954721.post-21508140261589256972011-11-02T10:47:00.000+01:002011-11-02T10:47:55.443+01:00Welcome -enjoyers of life!<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdQh0cvGXMi5I9hp-nY9PYgogePcNNvoOhjxm8yW7MQ_S-ud7rEukk6dBfqK383IxOl_78mb_244BoZKT0F34vOgbL9mbCJa4ELUJm5KjRfHAOyy7pZ3QbKhs_gNtaNSSL1_LHmea9hAIR/s1600/happyim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdQh0cvGXMi5I9hp-nY9PYgogePcNNvoOhjxm8yW7MQ_S-ud7rEukk6dBfqK383IxOl_78mb_244BoZKT0F34vOgbL9mbCJa4ELUJm5KjRfHAOyy7pZ3QbKhs_gNtaNSSL1_LHmea9hAIR/s1600/happyim.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Welcome enjoyers of life and all of you that wish to embrace life at an everyday basis.
