my knee made dozens of small steps forward during these weeks. yesterday it made a step back, without its fault. it was my responsibility and i'm sorry. i went back home and felt angry, not for the first time, but for the last. defeating the dragons in my knee is a fight. a fight against the pain, against time and a fight with and against my passion for this sport in the same moment. my rage is gone today, because i know myself. yesterday can't beat today and especially not tomorrow. and i am going to be where the pictures in my head already are.

i collected some material during my training time in austria. there will be a film about these steps forward and back and forward. watch the defeating-dragons-trailer (wmv, 2,542 KB). and kneever give up.

i just recognized, that i never recommended himto you: chris garneau, already "halfweekly tune"-artist for the second time. great album, "music for tourists". a fragile voice, surrounded by a piano. shutting eyes, opening ears. take an acoustic browse to his myspace-site.

how awesome is this guy: french idols beatbox
