hey everybody,

this is goin to be a quick post. The team is doin good, we are now 11-15 and moved up into the 5th place in the league. we have won 7 out of our last 9 games. But last game we played without our only true Center presence and our other leading scoring and team defensive leader Brandon Crone (american) strain/ maybe torn a ligament in his knee and will both be sideline for 2-5 weeks. So there are rough times ahead of us a little bit. But up to this point we have done well wit adversity and fought and worked hard to get where we are now and arent making excuses from stopping us to hold our position where we are now.

But i was just talkin to my aunt and some became real to me. Everybody on my team around me is getting seriously injuried and home sick and having all kinds of problems and the only problem im having is being a little sore from day to day and having to decide what to eat after a late night of practice. Every day i wake up with energy and i have grown to love this game so much more in last couple of months. I told my aunt i can feel a blanket of love, protection and guidance over me everyday when i get up and i know its because all my friends, family, and loved ones back in the states. I just want to take this time to thank everybody for the prayers and support.

Im loving everyday over here. Im miss my friends and family but i am not homesick at all lol.

Like i said this was a quick post. Going to a friends house for dinner. Thanks again everybody for everything.

Update

Hey everybody,
Its been a while lol, but i havent had much to talk about because i don't do anything special ever. But i thought i would be nice come on and at least say Happy Holidays to everyone.

Basketball Update

My team is now 7-14 and has moved into a playoff spot (8th place) in the league. We are playing good basketball right now that can be credited to our defense. In a recent news paper here a coach in our conference said that we might be the scariest team in the conference because we play a defense that cant be scouted. We have rules on D but we rarely ever follow them. We like to let communication solve all our problems, which is how it should be, and it throws our opponents fits. Also Coach G says something alot now that Coach Lightfoot says all the time, "Our defense is our offense." It really works for us because we are a undersized team in this league and that cause a lot of problems for us in the half court game. So we will keep being scrappy on defense and keep knocking off teams and try to climb this ladder.

Life in Sweden

As i stated before Sodertalje is boring lol. Right now its freezing cold. Its usually between 2 and -4 degrees every day. Ive been watching alot of movies and playing alot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the ps3. I think thats all i have for right now. Ill write again soon.
