I've always liked to hikearound outside; in search of cool stuff, and hidden treasure... Rocks -little pieces I can collect or big chuncks to climb....It doesnt matter as long as I have a chance explore.

2 reasons:

1st, its a philosophy and approach to living and experiencing the things around me,
2nd, it was available.

An old viking name for a particularly fears warrior, who was sent up front in the battle, going totally ape (or beserk). The R in Berserk is just the way us norsemen spell it in our own language. It was said that a good 'berserk' would slay no less than 10 enemy warriors before he himself was slayed. Then you simply sent in beserk #2 and so on.... :evil:

As a youngster back home in my Nordic motherland, I was plagued with a short fuse and hot temper, so a teacher once told me that "if these were the olden days, I most certainly would have been a beserk" ........(but it's not the olden days, so here's another detention-slip for you :oops: )

I was supposed to climb the mountain about four years ago, but I bailed. FYI: It's the tallest mountain on this side of the world.

whelp...
Vajra translated (from Tibetan) means diamond, or indestructible. There is a lot more meaning to Vajra..but way too much to explain here, it ties in with my religion, Tibetan Buddhism.

Anyhow loosely translated : 'Indestructible heart"

that’s how I see me.

Can: I'm Canadian, eh.
Rocker: I play guitar in a metal band made up of 5 guys who'll never be good enough to perform in front of humans (most animals, and even plants, seem to agree that we suck). We're like The Rock-Bottom Remainders, except we're not famous.

The "Rocker" also stands for... for...uhh...oh yeah, ROCK CLIMBING! (duh) The dual meaning makes me feel smarter... a lot smarter :lol:

I was at work one night, telling a guy about the cracks I had climbed earlier that day.

He started laughing.

I said what?

He said "you climb crack rock. You're a crackaddict!"

I said "So I am!"
