This, IS AWESOME!!!

2011-09-18T19:53:00.000+03:00

This made my train trip, both ways. The book is SPECTACULAR!

My trip to Tampere was awesome and we got Annis House-warmed

2011-09-18T19:36:00.000+03:00

This morning. Drinking coffee and enjoying the awesome view.

Last night. Maybe intoxicated.

Hanging out with Joel.

Nerd. A happy nerd.

It feels like the trip lasted for like a week, but it was only 2 days. And how spectacular were those two days? Pretty spectacular! But now I'm wondering how on earth can I get my pages online?! This post will be pretty short, because I haven't got any words in my head... Maybe they'll come back soon. But what I DID have, was the first hangover since last year. Not feeling that bad, but super tired! Not sleepy, but otherwise tired...

Soon here!!!

2011-09-17T10:56:00.000+03:00

My website's going to explode the internet soon, in the beginning of next week I hope! So the site's are going to be soon here! I did a twitter account, as well. It's:http://twitter.com/#!/PekkaHyysalo. The twitter idea, came from a friend of mine. It's pretty good I think, I can update there all the time, what I'm up to... So let me know what you think about that! That will make me reduce blogging. But I think it's better to make the short ones as twitter updates, instead of short and still boring blogs???

From next week on my blog's going to be transferred to www.pekkahyysalo.com, so keep checking that out! It's quite boring now, just says my name, but after all, it's pretty damn interresting name!

A book that Miikka and Kata brought me as a late bday present, that's gonna be nice train reading!

My man Lauri, who I had dinner in Kuningas Kebab with the other night. It was my 1st dinner where I only took a salad, but it was so good, that I'm going to go for another one, too!!!

Today, I'm gonna head out to my friend Annis house warming party to Tampere, that is something I will inform you about! And after all, I feel like writing blog is really fun. So I will most likely give you an update when ever I feel like it! That will be about a few times a week I assume.

Twitter

2011-09-16T21:20:00.000+03:00

Hey you blog! I created a twitter on wednesdaay and I'll be giving the statuses of every day, there and maybe twice or trice every week I'll blog you out! So go and check out my tweets: http://twitter.com/#!/PekkaHyysalo

Unlucky Pekka

2011-09-14T18:45:00.001+03:00

It's not this bad really, but I was REALLY UNLUCKY! I had finished studies, was kind of jobless, no "real" profession. If I had even applied to some school, and got in, I would get as much as you usually make in that profession. But I was a skier, not even that famous yet. Giving all I got to the sport I loved, now I'm kind of disappointed. Not for going all in, but the insurancy thing.

I am feeling my self so poor, when I'm complaining about this kind of things. It was my own fault.

Fun is back, thanks to this!

How hilarious is that???

Rainy day, but super fun though! Untill the fun having just ended.

2011-09-14T17:25:00.000+03:00

Kind of sweaty.

Doing back muchles. I was happy.

Bench press!

Someting.

It's hard work.

Why today was so fun? I just felt so much more like my self, and I had a workout in the gym, which was aawesome! I was able to add some more weight in bench press again, and I added some in squats, too. It's probably the best feeling, when you know that the stuff you're doing is making you to step forward! Actually, just a moment ago, when I was in the shower, I felt like now I'm back to what I was before, mentally. Physically, never. Intellectually, maybe some day.

Yesterday, I spoke with a good friend of mine who lives in Norway, and I gotta say that Norway sounds like heaven, when you have gone through what I have. The goverment makes the fiancial life, of those who have injured seriously, SO much easier than what it is here in Finland. I'm not broke, but I would be broke if I would have to only get along with the money, the goverment gives me. Thank you mom, for letting me stay in home and feeding me. If I would have had an insurancy that would have made up my crash financially well, I wouldn't have to complain.

But after all, my insurancy was pretty shitty. It ended when I turned 20, and now I don't know how do I get money, to move on my own for example. When I started to write todays blog, I was super happy and felt good. But now, once I started to go through my situation, not so stoked.

Full day again, occupation to school

2011-09-13T20:07:00.003+03:00

Today, was that kinda day. Kari came here at about two o'clock, here from we rolled to enjoy a cup of coffee to the hotel right next to the school of mine. When the coffee was enjoyed, it was time for me to go to study and it wasn't completely boring this time either. Kari made me a finger support thingy, it felt pretty useful, but it broke down during the cab ride home. Sorry Kari, you have to make me another one!

Finally, I have found a taxi driver chill as hell!

Today our waitress for the coffee, was my old friend Lotta. We used to ski race like 10 years ago and I hadn't seen her before since!

Kari, the occupationist.

Tight games: I lost one game of cards and we played a draw in scrabble.

But I WON the third game of cards! I like winning... :)

We kind of got to the topic of biology, I have become really interrested in, it's the enviromental part of biology that I have interested my self in. I watch a tv show called "How I met your mother?" and especially the attitude of Marshall in that show, is something I really admire. I, my self am really a bad example of saving the enviroment. Especially the amount of flying, travelling otherwise and shopping for new clothes has been horrible. It's probably going to be horrible in the future, too, but now I'm even paying attention to that...

It's raining AGAIN, but I'm happy!

2011-09-12T18:15:00.000+03:00

I don't even know what makes me this happy, I guess it's the upcoming freestyle.ch and the fact, that I know that people who are my friends, really are my friends! And that's one of the things that are on my mind now, I want to stay in the same hotel with my friends in Zurich. Sitting alone in a hotel room is as boring in ZRH, as it's in Turku. But I am totally sure that it ain't going to happen! I have so many friends in there, that shouldn't really worry about being bored and lonely.

I'm winning.

VICTORY!

Training.

Puss. Like a squirrel!

Getting down.

Round round round!

Wanna get my ties STRONG!

But now, I'm still working in my hometown. My work is rehabilitating my self, and writing this blog to you guys! Unfortunately, nobody is paying me any salary :D But, I think that in the future this blogging and being famous (in my dreams), are going to get me paid. Waiting for that day to come, if it will ever arrive :D One other thing I'm starting to be really pumped about, is my friend Petes suggestion to make a book which combines my story and my blog texts. Don't know if that is ever going to happen, but waiting for that too!

Bye bye Espoo Hki, see you!

2011-09-11T20:12:00.000+03:00

In train again, going back to my home in Turku. Today was kind of active again, at least socially active! My man Kape came to pick me up in the morning around 12 o'clock and we rolled to Grankulla, Victors place. One thing I gotta say, is that Victor is such a nice guy to hang out with now! In Victors we had the legendary "Lunchi", we missed a few guys, but it was as close as we could get, when Rane was doing business...After all it was one hell of a Lunchi and at least I had a blast.

The man, Kape!

Kape and Victor.

Five!

After Lunchi, me and Captain Kape went for a meal, which was really good! After the meal, he gave me a ride to my fathers. I had to wait for a while, but once my father and Anna came back from sailing, I ate an other meal and some of that legendary cheese cake as a dessert :) My life was spectacular today! And now, I'm going back to home. It was a good one!

A fine soldier from Alabama named Richard

2011-09-10T21:56:00.000+03:00

There he is. Maybe the finest.

Finally, I didn't go to Eeros today. Maybe tomorrow. I just stayed here and hanged out with Ricco!

In Espoo and maybe in Helsinki tonight again.

2011-09-10T18:17:00.000+03:00

Today has been far from interresting so far. Just eating and food shopping, well at least the eating was a pleasant way to spend my day! Not only did I eat spectacular food, but I also ate Annas cheese cake, which is awesome!

Just a photo I took from the yard of the shop. It was nice! Now, it's rainyy.

Now, enough about eating. The rest of the day I'll spend with friends. I'll probably go to Eeros just to chill out, so most likely doing nothing! It's great to see him though, cause I haven't seen him for ages. Then again, for it to be great, I have to actually go there and see him :D But now I'll get going, so byee!

Here in HKI!

2011-09-09T21:34:00.000+03:00

The view while driving here, awesome?!

Me and Tocto! Holding it down.

I arrived here about 6 hours ago and so far I have been hanging out with two of my men Rane and Tocto! We went to check out a movie and of course we had the good old Lunchi (coffee pause), which was kind of a late one this time... Now, I just got to my fathers crib, I was given a ride by Rane! Tomorrow, I will go and check out my man Eero skating and maybe gonna chill with Rane and Victor (Tocto) again, so holla at ya laters!

Train trip to weekend

2011-09-09T14:04:00.000+03:00

Here I am, on my trip going to Hki, but finally I'll end up in Espoo to my fathers. My father would have picked me up, but he's on a business trip in lapland. He is so strictly business, blah :D I don't even believe that my self! He's gonna come tonight around 8pm. What am I going untill then? My man Rane is going to come and pick me up from the train station and we are going to do SOMETHING! And one of my other friends Victor is going to come to hangaround with us too.

Here next to me is sitting a lovely girl named Pauliina, who just took a few photos of me. I said I look ugly and stupid in them, but she said that not. What ever, if I do look ugly I'm sorry, if not, wohoo! But now, I am showing Hello! to this nice girlie so, good bye!!

Totally out of energy

2011-09-08T20:49:00.001+03:00

Today was a rough one, as thursdays usually. First I crushed the speach therapy, then the pool and finally it was time to try not to get bored by school. The speech therapy, was pretty interresting. We practised both speech and stuff for just brain. I want to train both my intelligence and get fit, too.

I'm a sleep walker.

Stretching for starters.

Matrix!!!

After the speech therapy, it was time to go to subway luch and then, hit the pool! We did all kinds of motority exercises, stretching and swimming too, ofcourse. This time, my front crawl stroke was the best in times! That totally made my day! The feeling of process, is one of the best! :)

After I had used my highly evolved matrix skills, it was time for school. It's kind of hard to find the motivation to go there, because I already finished upper secondary school with excellent grades, but I have to do it to get my brain ready to study my self a profession. I'm not even close to that yet, but when I have decided to do something, I do it! And studying, sooner or later, I will do it.

After the school, my man Iiro came to pick me up and we went to have a spectacular BDay dinner, bit late, but what ever! And then we arrived here, and now I'm telling you about my day. Oh yeah, and I got some previews of my websites, they're gonne be fine as hell!

It's raining, it's fall... It's WINTER soon!!!

2011-09-07T18:15:00.001+03:00

Pushing it, yet again.

Having a lovely stroll to warm my self up. Before christmast, I wanna RUN!!

Rain is boring. My face is kinda hopefull though, WINTER is coming!

A rainy and windy, that was the weather of today. After all, I don't give a rats ass about that, because it is winter soon!!! It's so nice to be waiting it this much again, it's because now I know I can and I WILL ski again! That being said (no biggie), I can jump straight away to the next topic, Freestyle.ch. I have been thinking that awfully much past few days and the conclusion is: I want to go! So now, I'm just trying to make it happen.

I had physio today, as I have Mondays and Thursdays, too. We hit the gym! That's what I like, doing stuff, which makes me sweat. Hydro therapy is totally ok, even though I can not notice my self sweating. Todays gym workout was fun, I even stepped the weight I use in squats! Only 5kg, but stepped up though!

How good was today???

2011-09-06T22:46:00.000+03:00

Pool!

Victoryy!!! I'm pretty happy :D

Pretty good, I'll tell you that much :) I had occupation therapy, I had evening school and then I went to cafe Brahe with Laso, which was pure awesomeness yet again! From cafe Brahe, we continued to Aura biljard, to play some pool. In school, I had actually pretty good time there, IN SCHOOL!!! What's going on??? I guess, that today I even learnt something! It is a totally amazing feeling, to learn something after not learning anything! We'll see when the first exams hit in.

After I got out, it was coffee time with Laso. He offered me a birtday coffee. I was actually, offered coffee all the time today, cause my occupational therapist offered me one as well, I was a lucky guy! Once we had finnished coffee, it was time to play some pool. We walked to Aura biljardi to do that and the most amazing thing happened tonight, I was unbeatable!!! I don't know, if that tells really anything about my pool skills, or is it just about Lasos and his friends hopelessness, but I don't care. I WON!!!

I had a better photo too, but it doesn't load :(

And there's one thing that is really nice, I hadn't even seen or talked to Lauri for ages and now I have had so much fun with him! Well, I guess we just grew up and find each others company fresh and nice! NO HOMO!

Even though I just had my BDay, I was given hard time in physio...

2011-09-05T19:37:00.000+03:00

With the face!


I have a projectwith Anna, it's called buns of steel!!

This kind of walking training.

And this.

It might not have been physically that hard, but the temperature was pretty damn high! Probably about 30000 C°... :D We took it back to basics and trained walking and at the end we did something a little more physical but when the therapy finally ended, I spent about half an hour both stretching and doing pushups and abs.

After physio, it was time for some trampoline therapy! The safety net is really a thing that will take my jumping to a whole different level. Now, I'm not only doing tricks on the mat, but also jumping! I did my highest jumps since the injury today and I will post it up to you when there is something to show!

What I also did today, was having a talk about them websites with my dad. And the structure of them is gonna be ready the day after tomorrow, but all the other stuff like the biography and all the other texts, are on me. I have been writing them and you'll see them, in the future! ;)

The safety net and a good tramp sesh!

2011-09-04T19:37:00.000+03:00

The superman behind the net, even though he's in the front of it here.

The safety net doesn't protect you from everything, my stupid knee got wounded. But, WHAT EVER!

I'm flippin'!

Today, I finally got over the party! Even though I haven't gotten any hangovers lately, I have been super tired. Which makes me super lazy and just to stay in bed, sounds like hangover to me :D Except that I haven't felt that bad, but I guess that's just because I don't drink even half as much as before. Now, I think that's enuff said about my drinking habits :D After all, this is a blog where I want to tell about my rehabilitation proggress, NOT my partying!

Today, I got my little brother Veikko to take photos of my tramp sesh! He also baked an awesome cheese cake, bye bye eating well! Although, it was so good, that if you eat that tasteful cake, I don't know if you can call that eating anything, but well!

Late party with A&A

2011-09-03T23:57:00.000+03:00

The crew.

CHEERS!

They brought me even a present witch a nice card!

Safety net, FINALLY!

Snacking before they left.

I had a lovely visit today, by Anni and Allu! It was pretty damn nice and I got a more than awesome present also, eventhough their visit it self was more than enough for present!

Even though I have been hangover free, since May 2010, I was really tired today. I even took a nap for like 2 HOURS!!! For the first 30 minutes I was kind of half awake, but then, I fell totally unconcious! I was woken by sound of car, which told me that Anni and Allu had arrived.The rest, is history!

The birthday partie.

2011-09-03T11:36:00.000+03:00

Yesterday, as some of you might have noticed, was my BD! It went by pretty solidly, first we had a nice cup of coffee and ate some pizza+cake with my god parents and their son. When they left, they gave me a ride to Majkkaranta, where a friend of mine lives.

I'm fresh! No more hangovers. I'm drinking a little less, but the amount of fun to be had, hasn't reduced even a bit!

Arriving to Majakkaranta, my mood was so high! My friend wasn't there, but instead of him, 2 of my friends Eero and Joonas were! He was supposed to catch us up at some point of the night, but haven't heard of him since yesterday... But who I did see, were some of my lil' bro Mikkos friends, age 17 and in a bar :D One of them named me as a living legend. Thank you! Our night was cut kind of short, cause my friends had to work today. And Joonas, seemed to be pretty drunk :D So he lead me to taxi, like I was a small child and he and Eero went somewhere... Next year, it'll be better again!

The night out ended at 00.00 and I was in bed at 1pm. Woked up fresh today, that's what you seem to get for short nights out! At the end I want to thank every one who congratulated me and especially Joonas and Eero, for partying with me!

Out!!!

2011-09-02T18:16:00.000+03:00

Okay, maybe I didn't take a nap :D But, I'm out now!

BIRTHDAY!!!

2011-09-02T14:06:00.000+03:00

21! I'm allowed to drink in the states!!

A card that Jannica gave me, THANK YOU!

Today is my birthday! And I have already had so much better day, than last year! Then, I was at the best rehabilitation centre in Finland, but I do not wan't to think about that too much. A lot of valuable work was done, and so will be this year too, if I get in there. But today, I won't worry about that! If I find a nice little partie or a BIG ONE, I'll PARTY! In case, you are a pretty girl, you are allowed to kiss me, if you find me :) But now, I'll take a nap, so laters! And thanks for everyone who has congratulated me!

Busy today too

2011-09-01T22:50:00.000+03:00

Don't wanna look stupid! So I read the chapter we're handleing beforehand.

A "machine", my occupational therapist left me. I'm working on it, every day.

Hand motor coordination training!

Today was full of action! Therapywise and otherwise too. The day began with some hand motor coordinattion excercises and speach therapy, which was followed by physio swimming! After that, almost straight to study some biology, followed by going to my man Iiros place and watching the "sucker punch" movie. Tomorrow's gonna be my BIRTHAY!!! So I'm looking forward for tomorrow too. To be totally honest, I have no idea of what to expect from tomorrow, one thing I am expecting is fun! Give me that and I'm happy :D

My studying went pretty similary today, just that I have thought so much about about learning and my memory problems, that I have figured out to be not stressing about learning! Of course, I have to stress about it enough to make my self pass the course, but as far as I'll do that, I'm super happy :) And, if not, who cares?? I have so many years to study my self a profession. Right now my job is to rehabilitate my self as well as possible and in the progress, one of Finland's (world's) finest filmers is shooting a documentary of me and my survival. Not bad, huh? On top of that, my lil' bro Veikko just linked me this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciYk-UwqFKA&feature=related, and I can't understand how can that dude be that happy? But, I comp: LIFE IS AWESOME!

Back to my active self!

2011-08-31T20:19:00.000+03:00

This is a video that my mom showed me yesterday. It's me "jumping" on our trampoline last fall, and I gotta say that I've come so far since then! This is pretty pathetic, but it's one of the first tricks I was able to do.

Otherwise, my day concisted physio therapy, physics and going to coffee with my old friend Laso. Even though I haven't hanged out with him for a while, I had such a pleasant time with him! And the most awesome thing was our yelling to the table on our right side (the yelling wasn't very loud and it was done by me) cause we (I) spotted hot Austrian girls over there.

The physio consisted gym work out today, which was really welcome! I felt so ashamed for my self, cause last time I was so lazy. I can't blame my self for that, cause I felt my self really sick. Today, I did it the way I usually do!

Squats.

Bench, the amount of weights is still tiny, but it's not as tiny!

A great movement for my ribs and for my balance.

Getting my left feet stronger.

Easy schoolday!

2011-08-30T20:32:00.000+03:00

I had biology today and it was pretty nice actually! I feel like this kind of subjects really are for me, but I should not make this kind of super fast conclusions yet again... But at the moment, it feels like I wan't to study international business, instead of medical stuff. I have made so many contacts already and maybe with that kind of education, I could use them as an advantage. Then again, in doctors profession I would probably have a lot of friends / family to repair, but I think I'd rather do business!

Then, I had a nice chat with my man JussiS yesterday and he told me to divide these fragments separately. That's exactly the kind of feedback I wan't to get! Straight up.

Tramp.

I'm a schoolboy!

I'm jumping to my back!

When I came back home, I wen't to trampoline and had a good talk with my father about the website. Not at the trampoline, on cell phone, later :D Website will be ready maybe this week, online next week! In case it won't need any repairs! At the moment, I'm searching for a nice background for the site, I want to have something icy!

Back to school!

2011-08-29T21:06:00.000+03:00

I just had my first lesson of physics and I gotta say that, I'm ready. I have been waiting for this day so long, my prediction is that because I went to school before without motivation and with all the talent, now part of the talent is gone and motivation is super high. The result could be exactly as good as before. Probably not, though, but that's what I hope! It's going to be really interesting to see how it goes! Today otherwise was pretty bad, I ate something bad I think and as a result: I felt sick in physio. I was super bummed to be such a pussy in physio, but I'm just a victim! On Wednesday, I'm ready to work the pussyness out of my self! I don't even have photos to share with you today, but what I do have is an edit, that my lil' bro Jaakko did! Pretty fine I say except, there are few things, which have cheered Mikko and my self up, but you'll have to check it out and see if they'll make you laugh!

Strict Sunday

2011-08-28T22:02:00.000+03:00

Doing back muschles while balancing.

Kind of fell :D I'm okay though!

Just balancing.

There was absolutely nothing strict about today, but I found it really smooth headline! Today was filled, not with strictness, but with practise! I practised balance + some muschle condition exercises with a gymnastic ball and cordination + tricks, which are so hard for me now on trampoline. Because they are hard I was concentrating on mat tricks again, which didn't go that well either :D But, I got one trick down, which I thought I had lost and that's enough for me! And I took a afternoon nap, a thing that I've been neglecting since last winter, but I guess that sleep is pretty important for me and my rehab now. So that's in front of all the things I have neglected. I have taken a totally new kind of attitude on this whole rehabilitation thingy, so if someone's going all in, THAT'S ME!!

Smooth saturday

2011-08-27T19:51:00.000+03:00

Mat tricks, can't do any other tricks.

Mr. long johns.

Woke up around 09.30, went to sleep at 22.30, so I got an awesome 11 hours of sleep! Today went pretty damn fine otherwise too! The only thing that bumms me out, is that I feel like my tramp skills have been worsened, cause I can't rotate degrees like one or two months ago. I have no idea of how could they just worsen like that, but I know that I was able to rotate even unnatural 360's one some weeks ago, now not even normals. I guess it's just a part of this rollercoaster ride I'm in, recovery from TBI isn't that easy... It's my attitude which takes me forward, "it's all in your head" is my motto. Now I shall go and hit the tramp one last time before sleepytime and then spend a quiet night at home. One last time TODAY. I have some bad experiences from saying just "this is the last one."So the last one of today, everything but the last one in total.

The rest of the day was normal

2011-08-26T21:56:00.000+03:00

The rest of today went normally, I'm just really tired. Now I'll go and do some sleeping, I have actually been thinking that maybe I don't sleep that well anymore, cause I'm tired almost all of the time. So, it's time to stop tiredness, good night! Sleep tight, fellas.

The end of gold streak

2011-08-26T16:49:00.000+03:00

Was having hard time rolling over my back to feet.

Hard time ended with falling to ground.

I had so many good days in a row, but now the gold streak has ended. Today, I've been feeling blue once again. It's okay though, cause I've gotten so used to this and I was basicly just waiting for these good days to end. And I don't know if this is even that big of a deal, this just sucks! And one really refreshing experience today, was to falling down from our trampoline. We are going to order the safety net, NOW! Now that the important things have been taken care of, I'm gonna go for coffee and after that, make us some dinner!

Swacumentary

2011-08-25T21:15:00.000+03:00

Froggy style!

Strech it out.

Today, it was time to film the doc again and Tuomas came to film me, down to the pool. He had these camera equipment, which you can use under water. So it was a good one, I think we managed to film something really useful! Then again, I can't recall a filming session, when we (me + the filmer ) wouldn't have gotten anything useful. Well, maybe the stuff we filmed with Miikka from physio, when I was a LOT lazyer. Then again I think, it's only good for the doc to see how my attitude towards training has evolved from lazy to the point where I am now. Giving everything I got. I am currently in the stage where the rehab the most efficient in, so the time to invest it all, is NOW. Ofcourse, I am planning to invest a lot in the future too, but now it's making me to step forward for real. After the physio swimming, my mom picked me up and we came home. From home, I left for coffee date with Aki and Tuomas and at least, I ended up having a great one! Tomorrow I'll have Kari Kloytonen (Löytönen) and I'll let you know what he has came up with and in the weekend, we will film some more. I'll keep you posted!

Filming in physio and being pretty much dead for the rest of the day

2011-08-24T21:57:00.000+03:00

Aki and my self, looks fresh, huh?

Laundry, I wan't to help out my mama now, cause she has cracked a rib of hers.

Today was a filmingday. We filmed the physio therapy with Tuomas today, physio therapy, which was pretty damn rough... In the beginning I "warmed" my self up with some kind of weird machine, which name I can't surprizingly recall. It was some kind of a stepper, I quess. Last spring I stepped like 5 minutes and like 100 steps. Now, I stepped 10 minutes and about 500 steps. The amount of steps was the same than what I did in 15 minutes before, 8 minutes on level 10 and 7 on 8. Now 10 all the way! I was actually surprized not to end up puking, cause I can't imagine pushing it any further. When I came back home, I was really wet of sweat and still I went to trampoline with Veikko. I was really tired and we tried to film some tricks, conclusion= giving up. Then I went for a cup of coffee with Aki, which was actually really fun, except that we were both super tired. We were almost falling asleep all the time and now I shall go to sleep for real. And for everyones information: Tuomas Hinkkanen, is an awesome dude / filmer. Working with him feels pretty much as natural, as with Miikka. That's a lot, coming from my mouth. Cause Miikka is a filmer, who is the best I know and he is also a really good friend of mine. Now, off to bed! I was going to go before, but I got in to a topic so nice, that I just couldn't shut up.

Tricky trampoline

2011-08-23T22:38:00.000+03:00

Inspired FINLAND!

Hi! I was just in the trampoline with my bro Veikko, he was filming and photographing me. As you see! I didn't get the trick I tried as well as I wanted, and in the end I kind of fell off from the trampoline (safety net!!) It's one of my charasteristics, need to get everything perfectly! Otherwise, why even try? My misty via my back tended to end up 90° short. Not good, not even close to perfect! I think jibbing on trampoline is more than awesome practise for me, in that too, I wanna become as good as Tanner! And I was proud to rock the inspired T today!!! It entails a huge control of your body to jump well. And a good sence of rythm. Which I don't have either, but I will work hard for it! If there is something I can admit, it's that I don't quit until I am totally happy with the performance. Actually, I'm going to go and get it. NOW! Except, that my head is kind of aching, but, what ever. I went anyways, the result: shortness reduced from 90° to 30°, still, NOT perfection! The last second update: my little brother yellet "YEEAH!" to the vid and forbid want me to publish it, so you're stuck with one ugly pic!

Getting strong is my goal!

2011-08-22T16:51:00.000+03:00

Rowing! For the beginning.

pull-ups!

Tiny amount of weight... It's more than just the stick!

Tiny amount is my new standard.


Squats!

Yesterday wasn't everyday. Enjoying life after sauna!

Weekend was really fun, but today I went back to my everyday routine. And what's a better way to start it than hitting the gym in physio! I actually like pushing my self, not to the limit, but pretty far. And yesterday, a video fine as H**l came out! http://vimeo.com/flatlightfilms/nipwitzfour. The attitude those guys have is just awesome! And just like that, I'm ready to chase my dreams! My dream is not to win the Olympics now, it's to become a professional skier again. Not competeing, but skiing pow. I won't say anything will happen for sure, but I will put an enormous amount of effort to rehabilitating my self. And we will see what happens!

Check this out!

Splendid time in Naantali and a good one in Turku

2011-08-21T12:21:00.000+03:00

The man, the myth, the legend. Lari Mallius!

Anssis friend from Bavaria.

The man, the myth, the legend. Lari Mallius!

Okay, I can say it now: "Far from boring!" At least so far. In Naantali we were watching Finn wave surfing and at the after party! The party started in Laris girlfriends house and continued in a bar in Naantali, which name I can't re call. Then we drove back to Turku in a cab at around 12pm. Then we (me Tuomas and some girls) went to a bar in Turku, can't re call the name of that either! :D What ever, my man Matti was working there and I had so much fun in there that I'm gonna go there for sure again! It's pretty much a perfect place to chill and have a few moist ones. Today I should go for a hangover meal with Tuomas, even though I do not have hangover, I do enjoy eating! My freedom from hangovers is a thing I have wondered a lot, but I guess that I'm not just drinking the way I was drinking before. I have to be pretty careful, when I'm drinking now, cause my balance is really tricky even when I'm sober, so don't want to find out what it would be like when wasted...

Weekend. Is it gonna be boring?

2011-08-19T15:51:00.000+03:00

Chilling in the air. I re-learned the trick in the vid today!

It's time for weekend to start again. In Naantali, there will be the Finnsurf sm, so nationals. I'm gonna go and check it out tomorrow, if it's not raining! Today though, my activity was getting my self to the trampoline and to get Jannica to film it. May not be nothing compared to Henkes rehab edit, because I can neither edit videos, nor jump as well :D At least, not now. My balance is still still missing so badly and so is my sence of rythm... But now it's time for weekend, what to do??? Saturday might be all set cause of the comp, but I don't want to get bored before and after. I already got bored before, so I have to try to make the boredness stop asap and make sure it won't spread to Sunday! I'm having hard time doing that though, cause calling to my friends has kind of started to feel stupid, cause it's always me who calls. So let's wait a while if someone of my friends would make the move.

Swimming and putting my self together

2011-08-18T22:56:00.000+03:00

My man E'Dollo rehabbing himself on a tramp. My trampoline skills right now are nothing compared to that, but I'll share them withcha anyways! Good work E!

Today, like on Thursdays usually, I had swimming in physiotherapy! My attitude was, like usually now, "ALL IN". And I have been feeling really tired now for 2 days. I don't want to make any quick conclusions, but I don't wan't to overtrain my self either... It's just that it's so hard for me to see, when I'm training too hard, cause before, I was so fit that I was like from another planet than now. And it's really hard for me to realize that things have changed. I have slowly started to see that that's the way it is now, and by seeing that, I have started feeling worse than ever. Well, I guess I just have to get through it...

Physio+coffee with Michael

2011-08-17T21:49:00.000+03:00

My physio therapist is a football player, maybe that's the reason for this.

I'm swinging it! Balance training...

Balanceboard squats!

Balance baller!

I woke up around 9 o'clock today, as I try to do every day. If I wake up earlier, I'll just try to stay layed. Today, no need for just laying awake! I went to Michaels crib around 12am. and continued to physio, which started at 13.15. The coffee at Michaels was fun, but the physio was kind of rough for me today... There's no excuses why it was rough, I guess some days it just is. The excercises we did today weren't that hard, I gave 100 as usually, conclusion=I'm just weak :D Once I got home, after all the eating and stuff, we went trampolining with Veikko! Veikko was shooting photos again, so you may see a bit of our session tomorrow. I feel like I would have improved a lot since last spring, but still I was able to do almost all of the tricks I'm doing now. I guess it's not only about what you do, but HOW you do it!

Occupation and filming

2011-08-16T21:07:00.000+03:00

Yesterday wasn't rainy. Here's a sequence that my little brother Veikko shot!

Today was rainy, so parked in my chair!

Guys called Tuomas and Aki came to visit me today, to film some inerviews for the doc! Maybe the biggest achievement of today, though, was to receive a new cell-phone! And we did some tests in occupation therapy, I had gotten better (faster) in almost all of the tests and I didn't get worse (slower) in any, so development! It feels really good to see some results on paper, cause it's so hard to notice it oneself... Today was also really rainy, that I don't like. Well, it's gonna get better for the weekend and then, there will be Finnish surfing championships in Naantali, 25km from my home. That's going to be really interresting to watch and Tuomas told me that you can try surfing your self there too, so I'm gonna find out how it goes!

Physiogym and a new haircut!

2011-08-15T19:28:00.000+03:00

I'm hiding (being ashamed of how pathetic my achievements were).

Pushups to finish it.

Squats. With 1/4 of the weights I used to lift.

How weak am I??? Well, at least I'm working hard to get stronger.

Today was a therapyday (neurophsygology and physio), and I managed even to drag my self to sign up to night school! On top of all that, I got a new haircut, as you may see. My signing up to night school may be surprising, because of how good grades I already got, but I need to know that I can study again. If I would do a LOT of work to prepare my self to entrance exams and then fail miserably, it would be totally horrible. Don't wanna do that! Maybe it will go solid though, but it's so hard to evaluate your self. We will see, when we'll have the results from the first exams. I'll let you know! When I got home, it was time for a tramp session, my lil' bro Veikko took photos with his new cam. You will see them laters, maybe :D

Adam Tensta yesterday! And boring today.

2011-08-14T20:04:00.000+03:00

The man!

I started my yesterday normally with breakfast and then did a little workout, when the workout was done, I hopped to a bus wich tooke me to Turku, where my favourite living hiphop artist, Adam Tensta had an awesome concert! I must tell you again, that it was totally worth it to go there! So yesterday was totally awesome, today, not so awesome. I have been at home whole day, searching my cellphone charger. Without any luck, so been here whole day alone and so bored! My cellphone battery is empty, so you won't be seeing te photos I took from the concert... I'm gonna just google you guys a photo of Adam Tensta to make this post a little better than the last one! It's lame, I know, SORRY! My mother and Veikko are gonna come home soon, so then I shall maybe find out where my charger is. Also, my new cell phone was going to be sent here before friday, it wasn't :D So, perfection! Maybe next time you'll read this, it will be a little, or a LOT happier :D

Adam Tensta!

2011-08-14T01:09:00.000+03:00

It was on, it was awesome and I had more than tons of fun with my friends!!! Tomorrow, I'll give you a more spesific raport of today and tonight, with a pic or two, but now I'll go to sleep!

Cottage living

2011-08-12T21:35:00.000+03:00

Running!

Chilling with my dawgs! (no biggie)

Tara came to swim with me!

I was active yesterday, just like I was active today too. I went hydro RUNNING both days. Running was capitalized, cause first times I did hydro run, it was more like jogging. But now, I have actually ran almost pushing myself to the limit. My goal for todays training was to push myself so far, that I would have vomited. It wasn't very far, but no puking occurred though, yet… I'm sure some of you think now, "what's wrong with this guy???" Nothing's really wrong with me, actually, I'm just really happy that I can do stuff like that! Tomorrow, I'll probably have a hydro jog/run in the morning and then, I'm straight off to Turku Aura fest to listen Adam Tensta! I'm already really stoked about it, I was planning to go to see him perform if he would even come to Finland this summer, but that he's coming and he's gonna be in my hometown?! Can't pass it! And I'm going to go and check it out with my friends, how happy am I? Pretty happy, I just need to get the website project started and one other thing done and I'm in flames! Check back and I will you if the flames will occur and how amazing the concert is gonna be. The only thing that comes to my mind, which could go wrong, is that I could get really tired if I had to stand very long time during the concert. That's a risk, I'm willing to take though. So, check back on sunday! Tensta baby!!!

Nauvo cottage

2011-08-11T12:57:00.000+03:00

My current hood.

Speech therapy & gaining.

Physio...

Yesterday I took off from speech therapy, my father picked me up and we went to buy tickets to Aura fest, we picked up my brother Jaakko and drove to Nauvo. And before my speech therapy, I had physio, which I supposed to be an easy one, but I can assure you that it was far from easy! I Have thought how can these exercises be so rough for me, but I did pretty much nothing for a year, so I understand! And if people were randomly chosen, I bet that I would be in better fit than 80% of them. Now, I'm writing this from my own computers text program, cause I wanted to add photos and I can't use a normal pc any more… How dumb am I??? Well, my fathers pc isn't probably normal, but I can't use it anyways. :D Now I'm going to hit you up with yesterdays pictures, so here you go!

In Nauvo, shitty internet, not good for my blogging...

2011-08-10T22:21:00.000+03:00

Here am I, in Nauvo. And I'm going to stay here for a few days. I'll go back home in 3 days, it's gonna be Aura fest there, and my favourite artist Adam Tensta is going to have a concert there! I had physio today, and you're going to see all the photos, as soon as I'm up here with my own computer, or at least a machine made by Apple, or will co operate with my cell phone... So far you'll have to accept my boring writings, which are not very easy tolerate :D

Occupation and awesomeness

2011-08-09T21:31:00.000+03:00

Me and Julle watching something really good! Wanna know what? Sorry, you won't!

He picked me up!

Last saturday, I wasn't picked up by Julle, so I was riding my man Hute! (No homo).

Wake up! Got woken up by thunder at around 8'o clock. From there on the day went by getting better every minute. Todays therapy was occupational therpy, where we did exercises for my left hand. That went by really well, the therapist shoved me, that he's not only an awesome guy, but a professional as well. This time the occupational therapy felt like it is actually really helpful, I'm a plain guy. Washing dishes, not my thing... When the therapy ended, my best friend from upper secondary school came here to pick me up for coffee. With Julle it was long time no see, so seeing him was totally awsome! We had a good talk and I'm sure that you'll be hearing about him a few times now. Or at least, I'll be hopefully seeing him around a lot now, our long time no see was, cause last winter he was in the military... This was the first time seeing him since my YO party.

Physio, and a lovely stroll

2011-08-08T19:34:00.000+03:00

The end of the therapy.

Boxing!

Lovely gloves that I had on, when I was boxing.

Serious business.

I was thirsty.

And sweaty!

My day was absolutely splendid, physiowise! This time, I spoke with one of the therapists and she thought also that I should be given some hard time in physio, physically, not mentally. And I had therapy with her today, so it wasn't the easiest one. Actually, physiotherapies aren't easy no longer at all, but I like it rough! And when I finally got taken home by taxi, 1km before our yard, I decited to walk the rest. That's the way I'm planning to learn to run again, running ain't hard because I would physically be in so bad shape, but it's hard cause my sence of rythm is totally gone. I don't have any clue what has happened to my sence of rythm, or how to fix it, but one thing is for sure. I ain't gonna end up like Forrest Gump!!! It will most likely take (hundreds of) hours of work, but I'm ready to give it 100%! And I'm sure, one day I will run a marathon.

The party was ON!

2011-08-07T17:09:00.000+03:00

I also read, before I got my partymode on.

Looking everything but fresh before taking off to Hinkkanens.
Just before going to the farewell/graduation/birthday party. Chilling in the swingchair with Lapa and Hute.

Me, Nikke and Akkeshi in the Monkey(s bathroom)

Me and Moona in Monkey, it's a bit dark :D

Last night went on from 6pm when we started to 4pm when I went home. It was the longest I have been out since the injury and it was FUN! The night started with going to Hinkkanens condo and continued by moving to Anssis party at 8-9 o'clock, it ended with going to the Monkeys at 1.30-3.30. Anssis party was a lot of fun, he shoved us some of their old movies and watching them together with the guys who were the almost the idols for me when I was a kid/youngster. It was also really good to hang out with the guys! At 1.30 we moved our selves to the centrum and the Monkeys in there. There I found some friends of mine that I hadn't seen before that night. The most important were Johan and Moona who I had never met before and they spent the night with me until I left. All in all, I can easily summarise the night, AWESOME!!!

Off to Anssi's (farewell) PARTEY!

2011-08-06T16:47:00.000+03:00

I'm gonna take off in ten minutes, but I took the time to tell you what's going on and show you what I have been doing all morning! Okay, what I did do was studying, what blogger did not do, was not loading the photos... But anyways, I'm off to party!

Physiotherapy can be pretty heavy workout session as well...

2011-08-05T18:43:00.000+03:00

I'm pushing it! Not sweaty at all...

Stretching at the end of therapy.

Something (don't know the word).

Step! I did it over 2 times longer than before, with heavyer resistance.

My wall, which was made this fine by Veikko, and Petri Kovalainen, who took them photos.

I had physio today and I can tell you, it was a rough one... Not so heavy, cause they'd have pressured me. But heavy, cause I wanted it to be! This time it contained a lot of muschle condition and I've gotta say, I was soaking wet of sweat. And I had a few photos yesterday That Jannica had taken (my personal photographer/I don't remember the word) + there's some more of 'em from today, thanks! She is also getting married in 2years, CONGRATS! Teppo, my condolences... There's also one pic that I took myself last night. It's from my rooms wall, that my youngest lil' bro Veikko pimped out, looks pretty damn nice to me!

Back to the normal, everyday routine...

2011-08-04T21:05:00.000+03:00

Blowing pipe in the speech therapy.

Physiopool.

Looking stupid in the physiopool.

Don't wanna look stupid so, I got to repair my hairdressing!

I made a comeback today, comeback to the therapies. I had speech therapy first, then swimming in physio. And my fall is going to contain schoolwork, gym and studying to my entrance exams to medical school as well... So it's going to be a rough one. But in case that my evening school doesn't work, I can take the whole year to rehab my self, I have decited though that, that is NOT going to happen. I can affirm that I'm a bit determined guy, in this and so many other things! The thing about moving this blog to my personal website is on the top of my pile of work. That will force me to start PekkaHyysalo.com. That'l hopefully happen in about one month, so stay tuned!

Blog tuning and coffee drinking+meeting/making friends

2011-08-03T21:28:00.000+03:00

Todays highlight was meeting my old friend Tiitu and her boyfriend Jesper, who I had never met before. The conclusion was, Tiitu is still nice and she has found a more than awesome guy for herself! My little brother Jaakko, took us some pictures too, but we didn't perform too well, actually we looked horrible in both of those. So, you're not going to see them, sorry! Even though I know that, you would enjoy your self by laughing your asses off! I don't even know how it's possible to take two so horrible pictures (in the photos, in the first one I looked like I was drunk and in the second one Tiitu and Jeppe were drunk when I was sober). Taking so bad photos must be some kind of art. Even though, they were taken with my cellphone. Congrats Jaakko! A thing I also did today was tuning my blog. I did it after going to town with Mikko (whippersnapper), after one of my friends said it was kinda boring. That's the way I wan't to be treated, straight up! And this looks nice, doesn't it??? Another thing that I decided today, was to start my own website, so if you have any hints, please give them!

Coffee break

2011-08-03T12:45:00.000+03:00

I'm going to go and have a cup of coffee with my friends sister Tiitu, who is my friend as well. And she sent me a present from USA, when I had my YO party, how sweet is that!? That's pretty much all I have in mind for today, I had way more, but I cut a wound to the bottom of my right foot, that takes out hydro running and a lot of things... So, I shall just have a lovely cup of coffee with Tiitu and maybe her boyfriend's gonna join us. So, tonight I'll have probably nothing to do. Check back tonight, for some more info!

Ping pong!

2011-08-01T21:07:00.000+03:00

Ping Pong!

Standing on toes...

My day was filled with games. We played another scrabble with Mikko again, I won 5th time in a row (no biggie)! Then I have found a new balance exercise, standing on my toes. My day didn't only consist that, a great role did belong to ping pong as well! And I haven't fallen even once today, YET. So I'm just waiting for the first crash to come... But I have decided that no crashes are going to accure today, hopefully. Tomorrow, we are going home, but I'm going to come back here at least one more time this summer, to film something fun for the documentary. And to last but not for least, I'm going to share the funniest ping pong video I have seen: http://www.ettala.com/?p=226

Bang!

2011-07-31T12:33:00.000+03:00

Victory is mine!!!

That's what atleast I heard last night, not sure if you heard it (I'm a pretty big guy). The sound was created by me, jumping head over heels to the water, hitting my head to the base when we were swimming while our sauna session. My forehead is aching a bit, but I am pretty stoked that nothing serious happend though. I remember when an icehockey goalie jumped swimming like that and paralyzed himself. It's kinda scary, that I don't know how hard I can even hit my head again without dying... Now, to a little happier topic! We just played scrabble with Mikko and I WON! This hasn't happened, since I injured myself. That's why this is such an achievement for me... And I gotta say, Mikko is one smart whippersnapper.

Playing games, a LOT

2011-07-30T20:03:00.000+03:00

Me and Jaakko playing card.

My activity number one is to play something with my brothers, or, actually with who ever. I guess that playing scrabble is really good for my mind aswell. I tend to place rehab on top of everything, but I have to have a life outside of rehab aswell. Actually I was just thinking about it. The conclusion was, rehab is my current job, but not my life. Still, it has an enormous influence on my life. Also in future. I don't want to end up spending the rest of my life struggling with normal tasks, so I want to give the rehabbing 100% while it still is efficient. Sometimes, I gotta take it easy though, chill out a bit :D And thats why, I'm on a holiday now. But I still like to do a lot of stuff, I'm active. Just gotta deal with it. It's better than lazy, for sure.

Summercottage, again

2011-07-29T23:16:00.000+03:00

It was so nice to be there. Friends. Activity, what more does a person need?

My little brothers had their final jump session today, and then we drove to the cottage. Quite frankly, I would really wan't to be at home, but once the others came here I figured out "why not". Well, the fact that we ARE coming to film some of my documentary here again, might be the answer, but foreseeing isn't a very vacant gift of mine. Yet.

The best day since yesterday

2011-07-28T23:21:00.000+03:00

AJ, after showing me that, he can douple!

Carl, back full.

Some kind of balance training.

Veikko, riding clean.

So like you can most likely figure out from the headline, I had pretty good of a day. The day began with breakfast and right after that, I went to checkout the jumping action. And the most interresting guy, that I saw jumping was my good old friend Carl Michael, who is also known as Kalle Leinonen. The day continued pretty normally with lunch, and an other jump session, dinner, coffee break with Mikkos godmother and after that, we went golfranging with AJ. Right when we got there, we found Carl Michael bouncing his football with his brother there. We also crossed roads yesterday with Carl, on our golfround with my brother. And I gotta say, that seeing him and AJ here is the best thing this this summer after the YO parties, so far.

Tired, funny and AWESOME day!

2011-07-27T23:32:00.000+03:00

Mikko is (was) a superman!

Golfpro......

Another GOLFPRO!

Today was awesome. My bros really sent it on the ramp, Mikko especially. Cause he did superman frontflips, and what ever I asked him to do. Just for me ;) And we just went golfing with Mikko, Jaakko was the caddie. It was for sure, the best worst round golf I have ever played in my life! I was kind of tired already, when we began the round. Now, I'm super tired. And I guess, Mikko and Jaakko were kind of tired as well, because otherwise they wouldn't have laughed to everything. Now, the tired threesome shall go to sauna. Cheers!

Nurmes, finally I feel like I'm where I belong

2011-07-26T22:58:00.000+03:00

AJ not paying attention to my important photoshoot...

There's the attention! (POSE!)

Veikko, hunting kangaroos...

Me and AJ at the golf range. (Wearing formal golf outfits: Wife beaters!)
My day was so good! Coaching my little brothers and hanging out with my really good friend AJ, golfing with him, and our crib here is really nice! And my little brother Veikko is probably going to be really pissed off, if I'm not mentioning, that he learned a kangarooflip today! Pretty awesome, that the guy is only 12 years old (not 10!!!) and doing doubles already! He is a P.I.M.P! AJ was also stepping his game up and from what he said, he's gonna step up some more tomorrow... That being said, I'm going to go to Sauna and to sleep. Good night!

Rehab ain't partying

2011-07-26T01:19:00.000+03:00

So I realised right when I posted the party thing, that that's really not even close to what rehab really is! But, I wanna share the good times with you too, and getting out for the first time this summer; GOOD TIMES! So thanks again all you peeps who spent the saturday night with me and good night!

Nuse!

2011-07-25T23:26:00.000+03:00

The ramps.

Mikko laying back!

So here I am! In Finland's so far the best water ramps, Nurmes, Nuse. I'm staying with my little brothers and mother. And I like it here. I have spent maybe 2 or 3 weeks of my life here, and I thought I would be able to jump now as well, but it wouldn't be wise, I guess. I am able to play golf here though! And to see many of my friends. I'll upload these photos and then, I'll go to Sauna!

Too fast and furious

2011-07-24T23:28:00.000+03:00

I am fast and I am furious! At least, I was too fast and furious for my cellphone...

The most fun I've had for a while

2011-07-24T13:01:00.000+03:00

Almost flood.

Cheers!

Whadap!?

Cheers!

So yesterday was a normal saturday, actually it wasn't. I heard the horrible news from Oslo Norway, that can't all happen in just one day! When it comes to my day, and especially night, it was awesome! Anssi came for a visit and we were supposed to go for a hydrorun, but the weather was herrible! So we decided to watch a movie, which we didn't do either :D Then we went for pizza, and while driving there we found a flood from Hirvensalo! Once we got to the pizza place, my friends who were trying to go for a golf round, had given up. So we went to Lapas place and hanged out there for a while. Anssi had to leave, cause his gf came around, but we stayed there and Akkeshi rolled in aswell. At around 21-22, we went for this ship to hangaround and have some beers. And we met Lauri and Niiklas there as well. Then maybe around 23-24, we went to red hot chilis (place with cheap drinks!) We stayed there untill 02am. or something. I had so much fun! I also met some of my really old friends, and some of the guys I usually hangaround with. And at 02am. it was time to jump to a taxi, which took me home. As a summary, a good night!

PARTEY!!!

2011-07-24T02:15:00.000+03:00

Okay, tonight we did party a little. Mainly with my two of my men Aki and Lapa. Tomorrow I'll post you some photos of tonight, but now I'll do the only thing I can and should do right now, go to SLEEP!

Hydrorun with my man Anssi!

2011-07-22T22:56:00.000+03:00

To the shore!

Still, to the shore.

Okay. Lapa took a lot of photos tonight, but I managed to delete the best one :D So, you'll be stuck with going to the shore ones and this one jog one.

Today was a good day! First, we went to a shopping center with Mila. Then, we came back and my man Bäri came for a visit. We had a good time around and next, Anssi and Lapa rolled here. We had so good time chilling and then we went to the shore and me and Anssi went hydrorunning. Anssi blew his knee last season, and it was just operated, so hydrorunning is very good for him too. Lapa is the guy who took all of them them photos and with him, I'll be getting my groove on tomorrow, if he keeps his word... No pressure Lapa :D

Productive day

2011-07-21T21:34:00.000+03:00

Jog around!

Hard worker.

My work down there is done! For tonight.

10pm. I woke up and had a workout session which didn't feel as easy as normally. 11pm. Mila went shopping, girly stuff... I made porridge and ate breakfast. 12-15pm. I read Galenos, to become a medical student and finally a doctor. I'm actually reaching the point where it stops being boring and it starts to be just really hard instead. 16pm. Mila came back and I made food+coffee for us. 17something, we played Scrabble. And now, after 19pm. we went swimming. Had such a good hydro jog! Now, we shall watch tv and I shall post this up! So I'm out!

What a pleasant day?!

2011-07-20T18:38:00.000+03:00

A nice cup of coffee and breakfast with Iiro.

Hello!

Today was actually pretty close to spectacular! My morning began unbelievaibly by waking up with Iiro calling me. He was up and awake before me???! Then we decided to go for breakfast in Turku downtown, the breakfast just made the awesomeness of today stronger, by being really good. And the coffee, how good was that? I guess the place didn't get the name coffee house for nothing... When Iiro gave me a ride home we went ice cream shopping. So, tomorrow I will have some fat to burn :D And when I had gotten home, I played games with Mila and we made food. Now after that, I just showed her some art. Hello! And Nipwitz. So today was a success!

Hydrojog!

2011-07-19T22:36:00.000+03:00

Wish this was your shore? Sorry, it's ours...

Trying to be cool in the cool water.

That did not end well, nor did it end horribly. All in all, it was a bad jump.

Studying day!

2011-07-19T20:12:00.000+03:00

Studying! Mila was around to take the photo.

Me photographing my self when Mila was in doctor.

Scrabble!

I got myself together this morning and went to study to our yard! I'm studying already for the paramedical schools matriculations. I have to start already, because I'm soo slow reader now. And I think that reading the book which is ment for matriculations a few times before the matriculations, might be a wise thing to do... Then Mila came back from doctor, where she went, cause she's got a flu. And once we had eaten the meal (pasta) I had prepaired, we played some scrabble!

Shopping and trampolining!

2011-07-18T18:55:00.000+03:00

Tiny!

Not SO tiny.

Kind of tiny.

This morning began slooowly, but once it was on it WAS ON! Went to our trampoline with Mila and we shot those not so MASSIVE photos, after tramp we played a little trivial and then we went to ikea, to buy me a carpet to my room. She's at work now and gonna go and get her bikinis from her condo soon, so that we can go swimming. In my opinion she doesn't need any, but I guess I can understand that she feels like she does...

Golfing with my home boys + eating a nice meal + being home

2011-07-17T20:41:00.000+03:00

The meal!

Me doing laundry work!

Today was an awesome day! Yesterday was a bit (totally) boring! Today, I went to the golfrange with my friends Joonas and Lauri and after range, we went to have a meal in Kuningas kebab (king kebab). The guys ate kebab and I took a very tasteful burger. Fattie, that I am! Well, I also worked out today, so maybe it gives me a solid excuse... I spent the rest of the day with my friend Mila. She's gonna be around a lot next week, cause my mother, Veikko and Jaakko went to our cottage and Mikko is training in Nurmes (water ramps). She's here so that I could do all the same stuff, that I normally do, cause there are risks in trampoline jumping and going to our beach (the steep hill down there). So here we are in my home and it's fun! She's gonna be here until Mikko comes back home, and I'm going to go to Nurmes water ramps with him.

Tampere and chilling with Anni

2011-07-16T14:52:00.000+03:00

Anni keeping me awake while watching the movie.

Anni doing the physical work.

Me doing the serious work: giving her advices and stuff...

There we are!

I was at Anni's place in Tampere and I couldn't add any photos there. So I decided to post this here at home and being the lazy guy that I am, I'll just post up what I wrote yesterday. And what an awesome day it was! We woke up, ate breakfast and almost straight away we were going to "Nääshalli" gym, which I have been told is the best in Tampere. Back to Anni's crib and here we ate and watched movie. Then returning the movies (2), and I bought myself a little candy for tomorrow's returning home train trip. After that we came back to the crib, and then we had a task that doesn't sound hard, but it took us 2 hours. We put together a piece of ikea furniture. That was a day full of action, and it was super sweet as well!

Tampere

2011-07-15T23:54:00.000+03:00

I had so much fun here! Tomorrow, home and some more info... An I'm gonna see my man Petri Kovalainen as well before my train leaves.

To Tampere it is

2011-07-14T16:08:00.000+03:00

How sweaty am I???

Down to the business!

In 4 hours, the train which will take me to Tampere leaves. So far my day has contained many, MANY abs, descent amount of chinups, descent amount of pushups and many back movements. And after doing that workout, I went to drink a little protein shake :D Now, dinner time, which just might be my favourite time of day! There's a little fact, I can reveal to ya'll: Pekka likes to eat! And so do I like to drink, look at my facial expression up there! Pretty concentrated.

HP mania and the train ticket

2011-07-13T19:52:00.000+03:00

Everything ends!

That was a good film, but everything did not end.

Today was built up around the movie tickets to the new Harry Potter movie. So we went to check it out, at 13.00. And I gotta say that that movie was actually pretty descent, and so was the first half of it. The earlier HP films again, not so impressive... But I'll let the movie speak for it self, get out there and watch it, if you're interrested! But then to the other subject of this post, train tickets. Where to and when? To Tampere tomorrow. Tampere the good old enemy of my home town Turku. And why on earth would I want to go to such a place? My good old friend Anni lives there and has moved on her own, so what else can I do, but go there and check it out! Then I came home, ate barbecue, icecream and now I'm writing this to you. I'll add some photos to this one and then, I'm out! No I wasn't, had to correct all the mistakes, but NOW I'm out!

Cleaning up my closet

2011-07-12T22:17:00.000+03:00

The piles my "professional" brother Mikko did.

Finished.

What a wonderful weather did we have today, sunshine to rain to sunshine to thunderstorm. That went on and on... Now, in the evening it's pretty nice. When we didn't have this nice weather, me and my little brother Mikko took cleaning up our closets as our job today. I also did my basic workout session today, and went to my friend Marttis and his gilrfriends place. And what a nice place it was! It made me want to move on my own too.

Social activity + activity

2011-07-11T23:08:00.000+03:00

They brought me my broken helmet, that SWEET black thing saved my life. (I'm watching at the crack) That thing made me serious.

The trio.

Todays main thing was the visit of Anne and Jarmo Kurvinen ( my ex girlfriends parents ). The visit was really nice, I used to pretty much live under their roof when I studied in Kuusamo. So was absolutely pleasant to meet them! When they had left back home, I went golf ranging with my younger brother Jaakko. Had so much fun there too, nowadays I tend to hit the golf ball instead of the air above it! Then we came back home and ate some grill food, MEAT! Always makes me happy / hungry. Now I want to sleep so good night!

Hydrorunning and getting down

2011-07-10T23:39:00.000+03:00

Maybe the ugliest dive I have ever done.

That's steep.

Gotta be careful!

Today was a good day.

Hi blog! My day went by waking up from another side of the town, getting home, climbing down a steep hill that goes down to our shore and finally jumping to the water and taking myself for a hydrojog. There might have been other things going on as well, but that's the main stuff! And my mother was hydro running as well, and she was kind enough to shoot these photos from me, for me!

Confirmation with pics

2011-07-09T10:49:00.000+03:00

The youngster walking to the chrurch.

Family.

Here is two of the photos from yesterday, and my computer is giving me a hard time as well! This is a mac, so maybe I'll get it atleast fixed for free, cause it was bought 9 months ago. So don't be surprised, when the blog updates, go for a dry spell, it's just my computer giving me hard time! Now, I'll go shopping. Adios!

Confirmation

2011-07-08T23:43:00.000+03:00

My second youngest brother Jaakko had his confirmation today and it was a nice small party. It began at 6 o'clock and we were at home to partey at around 8 o'clock. And now the party is beginning to be over. I managed to do a solid workout this morning as well, I'm gonna get fit again! It's really weird to do this stuff when almost no one, has the believe in you :D Well, I'm gonna show them! And also, a friend of mine named Kristiina came to see me today. It was a quick visit, but nice as well!

Bored!

2011-07-07T20:52:00.000+03:00

Today I have been a little bit bored. It's because almost all of my friends are working and I live in the middle of woods! And I also happened to lose almost all of my phonenumbers when I managed to drop my cellphone to the sea, bummer! My life isn't easy :D Okay, it's pretty good right now. I was just thinking about how much forward I've come from last summer, and it's like I'm living another life now! Back then, I spent my days in the hospital. And my summers saldo was: From 88kg to 74kg to finally 94 kg! Now, I hope my summers saldo is to get to the best shape I can! There's a photo that my lil' bro Veikko took, when I had done my workout (you can see from my face that yesterday was a better day).^

Backflipping!

2011-07-06T22:01:00.000+03:00

Bacflippin'!

Sunny calm and nice, that's todays weather here in Turku. This morning I had a nice little workout as well, I'm gonna get my stomach tight again. Or not nice, torturing myself isn't really any of my favourite hobbies, but owning a nice body is! This time I did some workouts for my back, too. Then, chinups, pushups so pretty much the normal. After working out, me and my little photogapher brother Veikko went swimming and I did a backflip! Veikko learned a new trick, outwards backflip as well, so toally a great session :) One new trick for him, and one of the oldies back for me, almost at least, I tried it again and landed on my knees. But my stomach stayed inviolated!

A busy day

2011-07-05T21:27:00.000+03:00

Had to give my cane a nice little bath :)

This day was kind of a hectic one. First I did an interview in skype with downdays, then another skype interview with espn, then to the shore and I took baltic sea under my domination on hydro running! And now after this consuming and hard day I'm tired, but totally happy! Because I think the interviews went totally amazing. I'll provide you a link to the espn one, but the downdays interview's gonna be in their print mag. So go out and get it! When it's out... :)

Fitness Pekka

2011-07-04T19:47:00.000+03:00

Abs.

Lower abs.

Chilling.

Push, I'm pushing iit!

This morning began with some pushups + abs, the way I executed the abs is kind of a pyramid or at least half of it. First you do 30-30-30, then 20-20-20, then 10-10-10. Pushups afterwards. And I did chin-ups after that too. Trampolining to finnish it up-->shower. So I think today was super active! I'm sorry if those pictures are rude, because I don't have my pants on, but I don't care so whateva! Tomorrow's going to be active aswell, different kind of activity. I shall have two interviews on skype! So I think that'll fill up my day. Or actually, not even close, but I 'll have my whole day reserved for those. It's not like I had anything else that important :D But I'm happy I did at least something useful today! And anyways it's holiday, so who'd care if not??

Back home again!

2011-07-03T23:39:00.000+03:00

Driving home! I guess I managed to take it easy some part of the time..

Here we are in Turku again! Yesterday we drove here from Savitaipale, where our summercottage is located. It was kind of a long drive even though it took us only 5h. What made it extremely stressfull was the fact, that it was my younger brother Mikko, who partly drove us here. He doesn't have his drivers licence yet, he was practicing and my mom was watching him driving. So I was afraid for my life! No, not really. He drove kind of well, but let's face it driving a car, not rocket science! I lost my drivers licence, because I didn't go to to the second part of the test last summer, when I should've done that, I guess I had more important things to do, because I was kind of in a hospital. But now I'm here and I like to be here!

I like holiday.

2011-07-01T20:44:00.000+03:00

Had so great day yet again! I did my new hydro running record, 1km! It took me about one hour. And I fell down again here in stairs, but I have learned to protect my head really carefully. when doing such an amazing sport. That's propably a really good thing, cause one crash which makes me hit my head strongly, and no more writing for you! Then othervise, we have just spent qualitytime here at the cottage. Tomorrow, we're going back home, but I'll come back here this summer, that's for sure!

Exact yesterday. Almost.

2011-06-30T20:58:00.000+03:00

The complex.

Mine and my lil' bros crip.

Today went by exactly like yesterday, except that I didn't go fishing. But the hydrorunning part I did! And I actually have started to like it. It's not like jogging, but it's something I can do now and I really want to do someting to improve my endurance + some fatburning is indeed welcome, if I eat like this... And I also did some abs and pushups, so today was active yet again! But now in the evening my granny made some pancakes, so work out canceled! Here's some photos from our summer cottage aswell, it's a complex which is formed from 5 small buildings. The real cottage has a sauna in it as well. Now I'll actually go to sauna and swimming! Laters!

Active and nice day!

2011-06-30T00:29:00.000+03:00

My brothers went skateboarding today, which made me wake up early, too early. I have gotten my sleeping into a descent kind of rythm now (I used to wake up from 5 to 7 or 8 o'clock during this past year). My brothers came back like a bullet though once my mothers friend came to visit us with waterskis with him. I spent my morning (my morning is 9 am.-1pm) hydro running and eating. Afternoon, tanning and being lazy. Evening, playing alias and fishing. Conclusion, a nice day!

Our life in the cottage

2011-06-29T01:07:00.000+03:00

Hydro running!

Chill fishing.

Todays fishing was miserable, I didn't catch ANYTHING! Those are my older lil' bro' Mikkos and my grandpas fish..

So, our life here has contained: sleeping, tanning, playing ping pong, EATING and fishing. Eating is capitalized, because I like eating, a lot :P That sounds kind of boring, but it isn't! Today, I also began my career as a hydro runner.

Summercottage

2011-06-28T10:56:00.000+03:00

Me and my brother getting here, I look dead, not anymore! Holiday!

Going flyfishing! (that's what we do here every night)

Long time no blogging! Now finally I got our new internetstick working, the old one broke down so no blogging. I'm heading back home on next weekend so then I'll be able to blog more. Now what I could do, is to post you two of the pics that were taken here. So here you go! I'm going to put my laptop unconcious now so there's enough battery for me to write some more maybe later :D

Summercottage

2011-06-26T15:15:00.000+03:00

Here am I, and on the way here my 2 brothers broke our internetstick, so I've been quiet. I decided to stay here one more week, but we will get a new stick tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Golf ranging with a prooooo!

2011-06-22T20:51:00.000+03:00

Me and my man Matti at ski expo last fall (just a random pic that Veikko sent me and I decided to post here)! I just started to realize how tough way I've come. I was on a wheel chair! :O And I'm gonna keep on going!

This morning I was practising my golf with a dude who certainly knows a thing or two about golf, Caius Hanstrup. He's a golf pro in a resort called Kultaranta, a really a great golf course right next to my home town! I had so much fun! And I feel, like it was totally worth spending my morning there! I have forgotten so many golf basics, but Caius brought some of 'em right back! Tomorrow morning I'm gonna leave to our summercottage. So I might be away for a while, expect I go to my granparents to keep you updated! But, today was totally awesome again! I'm out for a while, bye byee blog!

Therapies-->HOLIDAY!!!

2011-06-21T20:06:00.000+03:00

So, today was my last day of therapy before my summer break. I had speachtherapy and physio therapy in the swimmingpool today. And I gotta say that even though I didn't have to do any job or schoolwork or that kind of work, I really needed this! Last summer, I spent almost completely in the hospital. And the rec. center after that wasn't very good place to relax either. I didn't have to do much, but you can't call that a holiday though, it was more like a struggle. This summer, I don't know what to do! No plans, maybe some day if I feel like I want to travel, then I book the flights! Now I want to go to swim, so adios amigos!

Therapyday, I'm tired!

2011-06-20T22:40:00.000+03:00

Today I had neuro psychology and physio, but it kinda feels like today I was lazy. In physio therapy, I think I propably raised my pulse the highest that it's been for a while! Now, even though I feel like I did nothing today, I'm super tired! So good night, sleep tight!

I didn't go out, but I WAS active though!

2011-06-19T17:40:00.000+03:00

It's pouring rain ouside, when I woke up, I thought: great, nothing to do today... Rainy weather, means no trampolining, swimming or walking outside. So I was lazy and concentrated in finding the most comfortable place to lay down and do nothing. Nooot! I was really active today, allowing for the weather! First, I started my active day with pullups, second, I played scrable with my lil' bro Veikko, third, more pullups, fourth, did some pushups+abs, fifth, stretching and I just had a tasteful dinner. So, not bad for a rainy day! Now, I shall go and play wii with Veikko----->.
