Kligur Videos

medium_Kligge2.jpgA dear friend named Jan-Marcus Kligge, aka ’Kligur’, who certainly is a man of many skills, has now decided to take on video production. And for you who know him, you have probably also experienced his many, very interesting, experiments in music.

So, for all of you, go check out his videos now! They are very much worth the effort and time to click here! And for you who do not understand what the “click here!” instruction means, or if you in any way are rebelling against such internet etiquette can always instead click on this here link: http://www.veoh.com/users/kligur

Marcus is married to A-K (Anna-Karin), and they have a son named Jonah. They live happily somewhere in the sunnier parts of Sweden and have, to my knowledge, a couple of cats, or at least one, and a sauna that they built some time ago.

Both of them have a very good taste in music.

If you also want to check out the band that Marcus’ plays in, you can do it by clicking here! *insert same procedure as earlier here* or if you like to, you can click on this here link: http://www.doomestica.tk

On a Sidenote

medium_Brian.jpgPicture taken from www.crossrhythms.co.uk
Today I heard an interview with Brian Thomas Littrell, and for those of you who doesn’t know who in the geckosoup he is, you might know him as the Brian from The Backstreet Boys.

Well, anyway, they interviewed him on the radio about his new solo-album, which is a Christian record, or whatever one could call it, but I guess you know what I mean. A record that’s all about the Big guy, the Boss, the Savior, the Lord, Alpha and Omega.

I was quite surprised when I heard the interview, because I have on another occasion heard about this album, and my first thought was “ok, so now this guy has also found out about the money in spiritual oriented releases…”, as that is not very uncommon.

But in the interview he told all about how he is a reborn Christian, and he was quite outgoing with his faith and beliefs. So this was rather a refreshing interview to listen to.

Always great when the Kingdom of God expands, always makes me rejoice.

Even though I’m not a fan, not of Brian (his music that is…) and not of The Backstreet Boys, and I will probably never be either, but I think this is great!

Inside of me I have a rather childish longing to see all of the great metal bands out there getting saved!

Great musicians with great talent and great gifts should in my opinion not be playing for anyone else than the Lord!

Intermission

medium_AronSV2.jpg
Ok, today I had quite some inspiration writing posts and so on, but then blogspirit was down for the greater part of the day.
So now all I will do is post a cute picture of Aron. Here you go.

It seems they have made some changes in blogspirit, and now you cannot get a free account anymore. I hope I'll get to keep my blog...

Well, have a nice day/night/evening/dinner. =)

A New Blogger

Once again there is a new blogger amongst us!

This time it is my sister-in-law Ida that has entered the bloghoworldo, and I went through a lot of trouble finding a picture that would be most representable.

Go and say hello or something. =)

Blueprint Dives

Ah, just wanted to write a post about a cd I have in my small collection.

Extol’s Blueprint Dives is an amazing record, it is one of the few records that I own that spins in my stereo again and again and again, over and over again.

It’s one of those records that just get better every time you listen to it, that’s if you’re into the genre that is.

I’ve also seen them live twice, the first time they played all the Extol old-school stuff that was a lot more brutal, I guess I would’ve been more excited that time if I had been more into them then, but I had just heard about them. I think it was their last show with the old line-up and sound. It was almost 2 hours long if I remember right.

The second time I saw them live, they really rocked my socks off.

Well, what to say? I like it very mucho.

Sunday Afternoon

medium_dscn0017.2.jpg
Blessed is the man who does not walk in counsel with the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

- Psalms 1:1-3

And this Confucius dude really got a good point here, something to think about every now and then.

Walk in ArtsyVasa

We went on a stroll the other day. Me, Tanja and Aron, we went to a park in Vasa, and then we walked to the city centre. In the park we looked at some artwork and some statues, and in the city center we finished our walk with an ice-cream and a serenade of a very nice local Finnish, very drunk or maybe not, punk band.

Working Man

medium_working_me.jpg
Now I’ve got evidence of that I’m actually working, for all of you who ever doubted it!

The picture says it all, a hard working man with a shuffle in his hands, sweating away in the early Finnish summer.

Don’t ask what he is doing though.

He’s digging a hole in a gravel-road, obviously.

Our Home

medium_dscn0080.jpg
This is where we live. Not much, but its home.

It’s ugly and scarred on the outside by the tooth of time. But it’s nice and comfy on the inside. We have two rooms and a kitchen, a sauna in the cellar and nice neighbors, although half of them are moving or have moved away now. There are only four apartments in the whole building and they are all owned by the same man, so there are not that many neighbors to try to get to know.

It’s quite fun that it has it’s own yard, as it’s almost in the middle of the city, and it’s only about 50-100 meters to my work. And there’s also a playground just next to it, so next to it that it actually melts into our yard, you can’t even tell where our yard stops and where the playground starts.

We like it here, so we may stay for a while, until it gets too small for us all.

"It was amazing"

"The amazement was so overwhelming that I had to sleep on it"

This is the every day life for Aron at the moment, every day is so full of new impressions that he has to sleep on them every now and then.
