There are many strange things one can do around the Blog phenomenon.
Blogathon is an event for raising charity money by staying up and blogging for 24 hours straight on March 26: Last year they raised $50,000!
Another “strange” thing is Blogshares, the Fantasy Blog Shares Market. Blogs are valued by how many incoming links they have and when you sign up you get $500 of virtual money that you can spend on shares. I just found out about this today, but apparently my blog has been traded since day 1 (March 23 2003) and it is currently valued at $1,366.67 with a stock price of $50.79. My market share is 0.0004%. Complete strangers are trading stock in my blog. That is rather cool đ

Jackass the Movie
I just saw Jackass the Movie and these guys are really crazy. It is really amazing what these guys are prepared to go through. E.g. getting shot with a beanbag from a real shotgun, electrifying their balls, golf car stock racing, and much much more. If you enjoy people getting hurt then see this movie.
My Day
For the first time in several days it felt like I had some energy and I think it has to do with the Haikus I discovered yesterday. Everytime I write one I feel all pepped up and ready to go and do something usefull. I cleaned up most of the kitchen and then I went out for a bike ride and ended up on a field next to Björkskatefjärden trying to write a haiku and reading some. Next I went to “after work” for the first time in several months. Had a pizza and when I got home I talked a bit with Johanna and then chatted with her for a over an hour. Nice.

Haiku: Blue Wind
The red sun shimmers,
fine dust hangs in the warm air.
The blue wind feels good.
Photo Album Updated
My photo album has been updated with with photos from my and Jalles mountain trip last week. There are two entries, one from my camera and a selection of photos from Jalles camera.
More photos are as always available from the photo album.
Haiku: Nightly Cravings.
Like a light in the night
the cravings for food come silent.
The sandwich fills me.
Ps. I just realized this one does not have a season word in it, but I like it as it is anyhow.
Haiku
I just wrote my first Haiku:
Johanna in the sun
glows in the most lovely way.
I love you dearest.
Haiku is a form of traditional Japanese poetry, with strict rules on the how the poem should be composed. In brief a Haiku has to contain 17 syllables divided into groups of 5,7, and 5. The Haiku also has to contain one season word and the Haiku has to be cut in a certain way. Read more about the art of Haiku.
The End of the Day
After I posted my last message I started feeling much better. I had a nice chat with Johanna and Marcus sent me a very nice supporting email as well. Thanks!!
I spent the rest of the day watching movies and it is now time to end this day in preparation for a tomorrow. I have to get out some tomorrow and do something useful. Perhaps pull some weed in the strawberry garden or take a long bike ride.
Empty House
The house is so empty and everything is so pointless if you don’t have anyone to share it with. Johanna and Tovah are coming home in 10 days, 14 hours, and 53 minutes. I still haven’t unpacked everything from the holiday in the mountains. I feel really miserable.
The party last saturday was nice, we ate nachos, sang songs, grilled and played games but unfortunately around 23 I started feeling lonely and depressed and a bit sick. I had planned to stay the night, but left with Sofie, Rotax, Erik and Sonja around 2:30. During sunday I at least unpacked all the non-food items, but got stuck watching movies until 02:00. Today I have only watched movies. I don’t even have strength to go and check the mailbox.
By the way. I got a lovely letter from Tovah yesterday:
