No, not me of course! There was a man in the center of my home town village who was crying out this message. He puzzled me. I stopped and looked at him for some moments. I couldn’t help but thinking: “what if he was….”. Ok, the odds are a bit against him, but in the slim chance he actually was, what in earths name was he doing here??? Well, maybe as in most things in life, you have to start small and work your way up… If so, he has quite some way to go. Although we may admire his ambition to aim high.
I myself showed similar ambition when my mind wonders about participating in the Vätternrundan (a somewhat crazy 300km cycling tour around a lake in Sweden) in 2005. At the moment I am 28 years old and, according to the cycling specialists who comment on the Tour de France in the summer, that should be the perfect age to peak in my cycling career. I guess that is more meant for the people who take cycling a bit more serious then just a “when-the-weather-is-nice-and-there-is-not-to-much-wind” hobby. Based on nothing to fall back on I still strongly believe I could do it. Maybe that makes me just as mad as the man who is convinced he is the messiah. So if I could do Vätternrundan, could he be……. seems there is only one way to find out. But will I be brave enough to shout out “I will do Vätternrundan!” ??

Well, the pressure was on and today should have been the day for my first real message in this blog… I had to step up to the challenge and write something to fill up this big empty page. I failed… miserably I must add! Well this is something, but not at all what I had in mind. Although this doesn’t have to be a bad sign. As now the only way is up!! :-) There are many great stories in my head and it’s just a matter of time before they start popping up! I had some things to do today, none big, all rather small and meaningless, but couldn’t set myself to it for some reason… probably the same reason I haven’t been writing that great brilliant opening story for the blog I was dreaming about. So tomorrow will be the day! I usually deliver my best work under pressure… mmmm… maybe I shouldn’t have shared that, as now the bar will be raised for me again. We will see!
