People die everyday. In fact 146,357 people die each day, 6098 people die each hour, 102 people die each minute, and almost 2 people die each second.
Out of all those people, out of the whole entire globe, we meet somewhere between fifteen and eighteen thousand people in our lifetimes.
Out of all those people, out of the whole entire globe, a person has two to three true friends, and thousands of other aquaintences.
When you lose one, it may seem like the worlds over.
Ji Sung Park saved the day today. Manchester United was facing a Wolerhampton Wanderers side that looked destined to destroy our title hopes. Although it is not even midway through the season, dropping points to a team like Wolves could prove disastrous when Chelsea is on such great form. But today we had a secret weapon, a Korean soccer player, hair dyed red, fire in his eyes.
Ji Sung Park is a fantastic soccer player. When he was signed by United, many people said they only signed him to get the whole country of Korea supporting them. Yes, many Koreans do support Man U, but today Park proved that he was signed for his talent over anything else.
Wolves looked like they really wanted to ruin Man U’s day, and United did not seem to mind. United may make the excuse that they were resting Berba and missing many key players including Nani, who has been our star this season. I commend Wolves for their tenacity and this should be another warning for Man U that they must pick up their game or face serious repercussions.
Every member of Man U should thank Park for saving them from the rath of Sir Alex Ferguson. Park did have help, especially from Darren Fletcher, but Park did a magnificent job of tying the team together. So thank you Ji Sung Park for your hard work and great play.
Where to begin? This legendary BelgianDJ duo and their band headline every show they attend. Very few can create sounds as beautifully distant nor as overpoweringly raw in a DJ set, much less with a live band. The Dewaele brothers do just that.
The auxiliary percussion could only be described as janky in the best way possible. In other words, they just totally pull it off. I have no idea how else to describe this to you.
Their ubiquitous remixes add a distinctive and palpable energy to just about any song, and their album Much Against Everyone’s Advice has something that is sure to please ambient indie lovers as much as electronic connoisseurs. You’ll have to hear Soulwax yourself before you can truly understand why they are electronic music gods.
There is nothing inappropriate about Gotta Dance Dirty. Believe it or not, it’s the undisputed largest and most respected blog in the west coastelectronic music scene. So to kick off their new management label, they had to find someone spectacular. They had to find one of the craftiest, most cutting edge new DJ’s around. In my mind, they nailed it by signing Tim Nelson, aka BetatraXx.
Formerly Redlight, BetatraXx is the epitome of modern electro-house. Raised on Pro Tools, he is one of the first young DJ’s that hasn’t needed to make an awkward transition from a live band or turntables. Everything you hear from him is raw, unadulterated electronic music.
For the past four years he attended college on the east coast, and needed a fake ID to DJ at some of New York’s biggest clubs. Originally from Santa Barbara, Nelson recently finished up his first west coast tour. Under the new California based GDD label, it shouldn’t be your last chance to see him in the Golden State.
In Gotta Dance Dirty’s recent exclusive interview, he had this to say: “The West coast is unmatched. Love it out here. And you guys are the center of good music. What more could I want?”
Couldn’t agree more, sir.
It’s a Sunday morning. As the suns rays enlighten your bed, you realize it’s about time to get up. The fact that there are no worries because it’s a Sunday makes you feel blissfully happy, nothing could make this day any better. Oh you’ve spoken to soon. Slipping out of your bed you are enlightened by the sweet, smoky scent of bacon wafting through the door. Moving into the kitchen you see a ravishing ensemble consisting of: bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, toast, mushrooms, hash browns and some simple grilled tomato. Delicious, a gastronomical extravagance.
The Full English is a dish that is traditionally English. Mainly eaten at weekends as a treat it has now found its way worldwide due to its great excellence. Many places have even taken up the tradition of serving it all day, as the demand for a cooked breakfast is extremely high.
For Edgar Renteria, life up until this past postseason was one of nostalgia, and uncertainty. A player for 5 different teams up until he was a San Francisco Giant, the Colombian shortstop was contemplating retirement after this season.
Renteria has had quite the World Series history. Up until Brain Wilson struck out Nelson Cruz to bring the first championship since 1954 back to the organization, it had been exactly 4,755 days since a 22 year old Renteria poked a line drive just over the glove of Cleveland reliever Charles Nagy to win the 1997 world series.
Renteria was a known castoff since his last World Series exploit in 2004, when he grounded out to Keith Foulke to end the RedSox’s 86 year World Series “curse” as the massholes call it.
On November 3, 2010, OVS has the pleasure to hold the last Cross Country meet. Eight schools involved in the final meet, Thacher, Cate, Midland, Besant Hill, Laguna Blanca, Dunn, Cornerstone Chistian, and OVS.
About a hundred of athletes are waiting down at the big field under a big hot sunny day. Other students in OVS besides the runners are required to help point the direction for the route in several places. My friends and I were assigned at the entrance of the Meditation Mount, where we can see the runners running up the hill one by one.
Although I participated in other sports, I felt a high level of respect to the runners because I don’t think I have the willpower to finish such a long exhausted race in such a short time.
She is a beauty. Her skin is a flawless, radiant white. Sometimes she is shy and shields her lips but sometimes she is bold, and opens her mouth; a striking red is revealed. She is all looks and she is all brains. She can make precise calculations and she will never be lost. She is a good listener, very obedient, and will do what she is told. But boy oh boy, can she sing. She can belt out notes at the top of her lungs, and she can hum a tune. Her voice is one that makes her peers quiver with envy. She is very athletic, she can run fast and she can run with grace. She is talented. She is perfect. She is the car of my dreams.
The BMW 335i hardtop convertible is the car for me. Just the other day, I was setting up an appointment for my behind-the-wheel test at the DMV, and I was thinking about my future car. Only one car came to mind.
A year ago, while I was walking through a BMW dealership, a certain hardtop convertible had caught my eye and stole my heart.
Although I support Manchester United, a fantastic player by the name of Gareth Bale of Tottenham Hotspurs deserves some recognition.
The 21 year old Welshman has quickly risen to stardom, scoring 7 goals so far in the 18 games he has played. But much more than the number of goals he has is his intensity and is cleverness. He is an extremely bright player, quick to hit the right ball and even quicker to beat an opposing player. He is exactly the type of player football needs. He is young, plays aggressive, yet possession football and is a great ambassador for the sport. He is well spoken, intelligent and has not done anything stupid yet. He started as a leftback, but has moved up to a left winger role. He hits crisp crosses, snappy one touch balls and has a blistering shot.
Britain is unbelievably the ninth largest island in the world. It is an island that consists of the weird yet wonderful. It may be small but it’s definitely not short of entertainment. Walk around the streets of London and you are bound to see something obscene, something that will make you shocked, smile or laugh.
Stereotypes are common, yet rare. With a population of around 60 million, the island is definitely overflowing with entertainment. We as citizens acknowledge the uniqueness of the kingdom, priding it for it’s distinctive character.
Those strange citizens among us are free to be who they want to be, living free without any restraints. This is partially because of the extremely open and accepting nature of the country, but also because of the endless possibilities the island offers us. Britain is home to all sorts of oddballs. Put it this way, there is no way of determining the normal character. Everyone is too different.
As they say the people are what make a party and it’s the diverse citizens of Britain that makes us what we are. Great.
We are little Britain.
Here is a clip to show you some of the great citizens of our country. I hope you enjoy.
