The most intense game I have ever seen! VIVA ESPANA! OLEEE OLE OLE OLE! This game was DIRTY, LONG, AND SO INTENSE! Netherlands played with their hands held in a fist, but that is what they are known for. Robben played so great! He was amazingly fast and his kicks toward the goal post almost sent me to the hospital. The game was a grueling 120 (not including extra time) minutes, and to the Netherlands misfortune Spain scored at the 116th minute! Only leaving the Netherlands 4 minutes (plus the 2 minutes extra time) to score a goal to tie the game. I was at the PRESIDENTE restaurant with my eyes glued to the TV in front of me, I kept turning to my mom and saying "I hope they score before it goes to penalties!" Thank God Almighty! They scored! Iniesta launched forward going offsides then backing up to not be offsides to make the GAME WINNING GOAL. Madrid was going CRAZY! and so was I. I screamed YES! and jumped out of my seat suddenly becoming ten times happier. Congratulations Spain on your win, you deserved it.

Spain Fifa World Cup 2010
So I have been a Spain Fan for about 2 years now and I have to saw that I'm so glad I became one. Because, as I had hoped, they have made it to the FINALS for this years (2010) world cup! I am amazed and so happy!
Spain at first came in pretty weak with a defense that seems like they were asleep. Spain had played against what most thought was an easy opponent, Switzerland. Spain kept their form throughout the whole game and didn't adjust to their opponents technique. ESP v SUI 0-1.
As the next game came along Spain showed major improvement by beating their central american opponent, Honduras. Although, Honduras had been marked as one of the "bad" teams I was still proud of Spain's victory. My friends simply identified it as an "easy win" but in my head I saw how all the teams were improving each game, and Spain had been amongst them. ESP v HON 2-0.
In the meantime I watched other games from countries that I favored, like Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Brazil. Watching these games showed me how different each country plays.
Germany was plowing through every country they encountered, they even beat Argentina (which was a World Cup favorite to win)4-0! People began thinking that they would be the winner of the World Cup.
Italy won the world cup four years ago and I was expecting them to make it to the quarter-finals, maybe even the semi-finals. Italy lost against Slovakia by a surprising score of 3-2. Italy left with their heads held high by scoring 2 points at their last game.
Portugal was, i must admit, one of my favorite teams this year. Their defense and offense were playing incredibly! Cristiano Ronaldo took a step back this year and let his companions have some glory. Nevertheless he made an impressive goal against North Korea where he juggled it on his feet, back, then feet again. BAM GOAL. Portugal made history by scoring 7 points on North Korea, while N. Korea did not make any goals at all. I was extremely excited to watch Brazil and Portugal play against each other. I was hoping to have Portugal win Brazil by one point at the 92th minute or something exciting like that, but instead the two teams left each other without having touched the net at all. It was a disappointment to me, but a relief to others. Talking about exciting and intense games...Portugal v Spain was definitely an EYE-OPENER to Spain's improvement. They had beat one of the best teams in the world cup. Portuguese fans argue that the goal was offsides by 22 cm but soccer is soccer and sometimes referees make mistakes. Portugal left angry, but everyone knew that they were a worthy opponent to Spain. 1-0.
Brazil, everyone's favorite. Watching Brazil play their first game against North Korea made me nervous. Brazil's playing style seemed like they were floating on air. Their passes and footwork came off as the work of angels. I was shaking in my boots to think that Spain would be playing against these attractive soccer beasts. The whole world watched their every move and cheered loudly for them. Fans immediately handed them the cup before the games even started. I put Brazil in the final the day the World Cup games began, but this time everyone was wrong. Brazil strolled passed every country hardly making any effort at all, but to everyone's amazement
Holland/The Netherlands stopped Brazil from passing them by. Brazil lost 2-1 against Holland. Holland made two "golazzoooosss" with their heads, those two headers lead them into victory.
A team worth talking about besides the most popular or favorite teams is Holland/Netherlands. Holland entered the world cup with a bang. They defeated Denmark without breaking a sweat. 2-0. Then Japan, Cameroon, Slovakia, Brazil, and last but not least Uruguay (a south american favorite, also a VERY good team. Holland came out the other end without any defeats. With stars like Robben and Sneijder we should have known before! I congratulate Holland for making it this far.
Spain won today against Germany, another worthy opponent that fell short today. I was SO HAPPY when this happened! I almost cried! SPAIN MADE IT TO THE FINALS!!!!

AVATAR
This is an AMAZING MOVIE. The world that James has created is definitely something different. Go see it!
Girl You Got Skill!
I was riding the metro to pasadena and in the metro I found myself staring at a girl around the age of 24, she had this amazing voice. Now you may be wondering how I knew this...she was singing songs loudly in the train to attract attention. She was drunk and from the looks of it, she might have been a druggie that lives in the streets. I felt horrible because I wanted to tell her how great her voice was, but something kept holding me back...it might have been pride, embarrassment, or just plain out fear of rejectment.
So why is it that everytime i want to take action and do something good or nice, I cant take action! In the moment I feel like I am not prepared to have conversations with people about motivation, hope, and possibly God.
Since I have missed that oppuntunity I am working on improving my public speaking skills. I definitely want to talk to those who need to be motivated, the homeless, the damaged, those who have no one that cares.

The Happily Drunk
When people are Drunk and they make irresponsible decisions are they aware of the fact, are they totally convinced that what they are doing is okay, or are they just being "funny?"
Can they really tell that they are drunk or do they thing they are sober?
Do they have a drinking problem if they put the lives of their children at risk?
The Statistics:
250,000 people have died in alcohol related accidents in the past 10 years.
Presently 25,000 people are killed each year in alcohol related accidents.
http://www.duipictures.com/statisti.htm
Sure this is bad news ...but when a parent drives under the influence with their children in the car, it seems ten times worse! The parent is responsible for caring for their children not putting them in danger!
I understand that they can not make wise decisions when they are drunk, but parents should think about their children before they drink. If they are going to drink they should designate a driver, or if both parents are drunk then they should call for a taxi.
In fact I would encourage that parents lay off the wine, beer, whiskey, whatever they are drinking! Because setting a good example for your children should be your priority, not having drunken fun.
Verse of the day: Proverbs 4:7

A girls obsession
The Bad ass that every girl loves:
Antisocial, yet artistic
handsome, yet not the typical pretty boy
Cocky, but sincere
Careless, yet concerned
Serious, yet charming
Unpredictable, yet promising
There's always this "thing" about him that no girl can resist.
The way he looks at you, and when he finally gives a hint of a smile
He always tends to have a secret that you want to uncover, and this secret explains his mysterious ways.
Its an exciting adventure that keeps you wanting more.
These guys drive all girls crazy, they have good qualities that you have to dig deep and find yourself, or if he thinks your worthy of seeing his true self, he'll show you
but some girls get bad ass and jerk confused.
a Jerk is similar to the mysterious bad ass in certain ways but doesnt have the "good personality" part.
Jerks can be good looking, mysterious, artistic, charming...
all those things, but he has a different manner.
10 Ways to know if he's a jerk:
1. He breaks promises
2. He hurt your feelings and laughed it off
3. His "mysterious secret" is you
4. He isn't loyal
5. He doesn't treat women with respect
6. He lies to get closer to you
7. He can care less about what you think
8. He's very concerned about his image
9. He "doesn't notice" the heavy things your carrying
10. He brags about his looks
There is a BIG difference ladies so watch out!

Random stuff I come across
Okay so every time that I go online I see something on Yahoo that's totally ridiculous or at least worth talking about.
Today it was "The Surprising Ingredient that is Fattening" apparently MSG is really bad for your diet....What is MSG? you always hear "oh there's no MSG in our soups" or "we substitute MSG with some other crap" WHAT IS IT?
So I took the time to find out...
"Maybe you're wondering what monosodium glutamate is exactly, and what you can do to avoid it in your diet. MSG is a flavor enhancer in foods—some believe it may even provide a fifth basic taste sensation (in addition to sweet, sour, salt, and bitter), what the Japanese call "umami" (roughly translated as "tastiness"). MSG is considered an "excitotoxin," since its action in the body is to excite neurotransmitters (important brain chemicals), causing nerve cells to discharge and also exciting nerves related to taste. Perhaps this ability to excite these nerves is a factor in an association between increased MSG usage and weight gain."-yahoo.com (source)
Thank you for explaining that yahoo (:
Another interesting article i came across was about finding some of the oldest fossils in lakes NOT the ocean...
IN YOUR FACE EVOLUTIONIST! Just accept the fact that there is a God out there, and he made this joint.

Eminem feuds with Mariah Carey!!! yeah we all know that, because they have horrible songs that sing about thier hate for each other.
Bagpipes From Baghdad by eminem is 10x better than "Obsessed" by mariah carey. Its a horrible song and video, she can't be funny!
Kelly Clarkson had an interview with some Canadians and apperently Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson the same track to write a song to!
So Beyonces "halo" is the same thing as Kelly's "already gone" except different lyrics :O
Compare yourself! Sucks for Kelly
