Everything packed, leaving for sweden alittle bit earlier then we planned, tomorrow, we payed for the apparment in phuket for january but me and my fellow (poker) travelingpartner got alot of homesickness + we got some very tragic news on chirstmas eve as we got back home to our room on ko lanta (paradise/weed island outside of phuket) and since then we just didnt feel the same about the trip.
About 5 swedish pokerplayers had tryed to contact us on xmas eve, and i called one of them up and e got the terrible news of that one of our traveling friends (swedish, maybe u heard about it on the news / on 2+2) whom we lived with for 3 weeks in bali was found dead on his hotelroom from a fire in the room.
We couldnt believe it, everything just stood still for a while and all i could think of was that we were jokeing on christmasmorning as we read the news in swedish newspaper "young man found dead on bali" and we were kinda laughing and saying "haha its probably "J" that sicko" or something along those lines....
Very intellectual, atletic, kind guy. Very successfull in everything basically, inclueding poker, achieved way more then myself pokerwise, and only at the age of 20. Pure talent
We were 4 ppl starting out together in bali, but the internet was so bad and me and my "main" traveling buddy felt the need to move to thailand (read older blog) to get better internet for grinding, while the other 2 were gonna stay for another 3-4 weeks or so and then join us for new years in koh pangang for the famous full moon party.
The 3rd person in the "group" joined up with us on dec 16 and stayed in our appartment for a couple of nights as he already had booked his flight to phuket, while "J" where staying on his own in bali for another week or so before joining up in thailand, and then this happends. On christmas.
So no fullmoonparty for any of us this year. The 3rd person who were very close with "J" insta booked his flight home, and we now feel kinda the same way. We were still planning on staying for another month, but the sadnews just made the homesickness to strong, we just wanna get back home. And i miss my friends and family so fkin much atm.
Sorry to bring this news to you all during these "happy" times of the year with new years comeing up and everything. But i wanted to write something about him.
All thoughts and love goes out to his closer friends and family.
Im not a believer, but if there is a heaven he sure deserves to go there.
Im happy i got the opportunity to get to know you
R.I.P - J <3
+ Show Spoiler +
to write something pokerrelated, the stake has been going well so far, havent been playing much the last week, obv, but overall its been a good month on the stake on stars, for the ones following me on PTR, its pretty off, so here is graph of the progress so far during these 90 hours of play this month, mostly been playing 2/4 and 3/6

Sorry to hear that man, dealing with death is tough. I lost a pretty close friend as well recently.
Being around people that knew that person as well really helps I feel, so being around your friends in Thailand is probably very good. Since you can all relate to each other and understand one-an others grief etc. I felt it helped me anyways.

ty guys, sadly i didnt got to know him to well on a deeper level, i have friends who are closer with him, and my thoughts goes to them
offtopic alittle but if ppl can help me out buying starsdolls for moneybookers in the upcomming weeks i would appriciate it alot
every1 who can help out would do me a great favour to get me back on track again, i need to get my moneys to moneybookers and ongame, cannot cashout to my bank from stars
and i really need this pretty quickly, so everything ppl can give me would be great <3 will look for 20-25k dolls something in that range probably
since being kinda busto i need to get some money to my bank aswell just for regular food/rent moneys and i cant get that from cashouts from stars
shoot me a PM or at skype/msn the guys who got me there =) |

So terrible to lose someone so young, especially someone with potential. Like Twisted said, be with the people you love, let them know how much you appreciate them |
