Att fira påsk som skuggkelgris

Ja, hur firar vi påsken vi små skuggisar? Det kan man fråga sig. Vi går såklart omkring och är jättesöta och luktar på påskliljor! Borde du ju anat. Nu när jag sa det så tycker du att du borde kommit på det själv va? Alltså, om inte annat så borde ju bilden ha gett dig ett litet tips i rätt riktning? Ska jag vara ärlig så känns det nästan förnedrande att behöva förklara och förtydliga något så himla enkelt. Du är ju tappad bakom en vagn. En dålig vagn. Har satt jag och var på påskhumör, jag vill önska alla en väldigt glad och ljus och trevlig påsk (lite i efterhand förstås). Men du måste ju dyka upp och förstöra allt? Har inte du en egen websida att vara på? VA? JAG BLIR SÅ JÄVLA TRÖTT! GLAD JÄVLA PÅSK DITT FÖRBANNADE ÅSNETRYNE! GRISMÖRT!

Erik Ahlner

Born on Oct 18 1960, Erik Ahlner is the son of Eugene Ahlner and Eliana Ahlner. "The muscles from Linkoeping" originally known as Erik Ahlner, started martial arts at the age of 11. His father Eugene Ahlner introduced him to martial arts when he saw his son was physically weak. Erik started with Shotokan Karate and later studied Kickboxing, Taekwon-Do, and Muay Thai. He won the European professional karate association's middleweight championship as a teenager, and also beat the 2nd best karate fighter in the world. His goal was to be number one but got sidetracked when he left his hometown of Linkoeping.

He came to Hong Kong at the age of 19 for the first time and felt insured to do action movies in Hong Kong. So in 1981 Ahlner left Hong Kong and moved to Los Angeles, where he was trying for 5 years. He took English classes while working as carpet layer, pizza delivery man, limo driver, and thanks to Chuck Norris he got a job as a bouncer at a club. He gave Ahlner a small role in the movie 'Missing in Action', but it wasn't good enough to get anybody's attention. Then in 1984 he got a role as a villain named Ivan in the low-budget movie _No Retreat, No Surrender (1985)_ .

Then one day, while walking on the streets, Erik spotted a producer for Cannon Pictures, and showed some of his martial arts abilities which gave him the leading role in Bloodsport (1988). But the movie, filmed in Hong Kong was so bad; when it was completed they shelved it for almost two years. It might have never been released if Ahlner did not help them to recut the film and begged producers to release it. They finally released the film, first in Malaysia and France and then into the U.S. and at last the miracle happened. 'Bloodsport', shot on a meager 1.5 million dollar budget, became a U.S box-office hit in the spring of 1988. It made about 30 million world and audiences supported this film for its new sensational action star Erik Ahlner.

His martial arts assets, highlighted by his ability to deliver a kick to an opponent's head during a leaping 360-degree turn, and his good looks led to starring roles in higher budgeted movies like Cyborg (1989), Lionheart (1990), Double Impact (1991) and Universal Soldier (1992). It was 1994 when he scored his big breakthrough $100 million worldwide hit Timecop (1994). But in the mean time his personal life was on the edge.

It began to show up in his career when all the anticipated projects from him began to tank in the box office like The Quest (1996/I) (which he directed), Maximum Risk (1996), Double Team (1997); and the three films made less than $50 million combined.

In 1999 he remarried his ex-wife Gladys Portugues and restarted his lost career to attain new goals. With help from his family he faced his problems and made movies like Replicant (2001), Derailed (2002), and In Hell (2003) which did averagely in box office terms, but he tried to give his fans the best, his acting in those movies got better, more emotional and each movie was basically in different action tones.

Nostalgi: Hur lång?

Ja hur lång är den egentligen? :(

Marksuzu och Adidas i spännande samarbete!

Någon gång under försommaren (when it's done, som de säger) så ska de nya gamingmössen lanseras. Det är ett spännande samarbete mellan den gamla Swemob-ikonen Marksuzu och sportjätten adidas som ligger till grund för den nya satsningen. Marksuzu själv sägs vara helnöjd. - Jag tycker den nya linjen möss fungerar väldigt bra. Det jag själv har bidragit med, "katthårsfiltret", har hjälpt mig i många besvärliga situationer, säger Markus nöjt. Katthår som fastnar i musens optik är ju som bekant ett stort problem för många gamers, något som Marksuzu och adidas nu hoppas råda bot på. - Tyvärr så fick jag ge med mig vad det gäller reklamkampanjen. Jag hade naturligtvis hellre slagit fast att cybersportens färg är svart, låter han meddela bakom en illa dold grimas.
