YES YES YES!
I just graduated to 1st cup in Taekwondo on monday february 1st. I will get my black belt in october! This is something I have allways wanted ever since I was a little kid. Now I am 46 and I finally see my goal coming alive right in front of me.
My red belt with 3 black stripes...
What a great feeling when you set a goal, and achieve it. This is something I have always had a problem with. All that will change now though. When I can take a black belt in Taekwondo at the age of 46, I can certainly do other things that I have always wanted also…like becoming a millionaire.
So that is next. I have studied online marketing for a few years now, and feel that I am ready to take on the task of growing an online business.
I have also done Network Marketing on and off for the last 7 years. Mostly off though because I haven’t been able to make it work for me.
Now I know why…lack of marketing education, and lack of the ability to just sit down and get things done.
Like I said…all that are changing with this Taekwondo belt. I guess I haven’t realized that I am ONE single graduation away from my long time goal. Guess it haven’t sunken in yet.
Thanks to my instructor Tom Rune Kristiansen 2nd Dan, and my master Sigvald Martinsen 6th Dan who incidentally will graduate to Grandmaster 7th Dan as I am graduating to 1st Dan.
I feel like life is just starting…and it is….I hereby declare that a new era in my life starts right now.
YES YES YES!
AM I EVER ON A ROLL NOW!

Well, the lazy days of summer is over. TaeKwonDo training started again this last monday the 11th. 2 months vacation with no training is something that hurts when you finally start up again after the summer holidays. Mondays training was not so bad…that was just an easy warmup session for todays training. 1 1/2 hours of hard workout. I only wish I had done some training during the summer. My body is acking so badly. But it’s a good feeling also to know that you finnaly are back in action. It actually feels good to be so exhausted that you feel you are about to faint anytime.
I am up for graduation to a red belt sometime in november. This means that things must be in place before that time. Pomsae’s, which is an imagined combat against imaginary opponents, has to be brushed up and perfected as much as possible, kicks and punches as well as the physical shape also has to be in place. Lots of hard work before graduation in november.
Still, it’s very satisfying to know that I am well over half the way to being a black belt, which is something I have allways wanted to become.
Good to be back in action again…I will also post to this blog more regularly.
I am not very good at doing the same things over a longer period of time…I tend to drop out after a while. But becoming a TaeKwonDo black belt is a desire that is burning so deep inside of me…so there is no doubt whatsoever in my mind that I will be a black belt within a couple of years.
Till next time…have a good one…

Hi My Friend,
I just created a new photoalbum on flickr a few days ago. The reason for that is I bought a new mobile phone about a month ago. The brand new Nokia N82. It has the ability to post directly to Flickr and Vox via my wireless home network. So I shoot pictures with my phone, press a button on the phone, and the images are automatically uploaded to my flickr account.
Neat huh!
Hop on over here to have a look at pictures from my life, family and friends, Taekwondo practice, My band, and more.
If you can read norwegian you can also go have a look at the new website of our Taekwondo club that I have put together: WTF-Kongsvinger.net
More news soon…I promise to post more often from now on,
~Olav!
