interpretor

just wanted to let everyone know that today i realized i could finally somewhat understand my asain physics teacher. I think after 2 semesters of chemistry, 3 semesters of calc, and now a half a semester of physics, ive finally learned to comprehend asain accents. I think techniquelly im through the equivalent of chinese 2. Uconn should give me language credits for taking all these freakin math related classes.

oh yeah right.....almost forgot....im leaving tonight for florida. Our club team has finnished pretty strong this year with a final record of 10-3-2 including our tournament losses at regionals. our only losses this year came against umass (2) and rutgers in teh regional tournament. We upset brown and BC, big rivals of ours, and beat a yale team we havent beaten since the club team was created. Overall a pretty solid year. Im looking forward to seeing how we stack up nationally this year, i like our chances to get outa group play this year, because nationals really bring the best out in us. Hopefully everyone is feeling healthy as injuries have plagued us the past few weeks. Wicked pumped for the trip, in part because i feel like i play very well under pressure in net. Sometimes i feel like pressure packed games can get the best of me playing on the field at times in certain sports, but for some reason i really enjoy the pressure in net, i feel like it keeps meet at peak focus the entire game. I really feel like i stop thinking and just react. plus i get a sweet trip to warm ass florida for a 100 bucks.

british punch

british people are even polite while gettings snuffed....funny stuff...

" Heima-which translates as both "At Home" and "Homeland"-- chronicles a series of free concerts Sigur Rós played in their native Iceland over the course of summer 2006. Combining both the biggest and smallest shows of their career, the entire tour was filmed, and now provides a unique insight into one of the world's most fascinating and inscrutable bands captured live while exploring their natural habitat like never before. The film is currently being edited by Nick Fenton with direction from the Oscar-nominated Dean DeBlois.

The culmination of more than a year spent promoting their hugely successful Takk... album around the world, the Icelandic tour was free to all-comers and went largely unannounced. Playing in deserted fish factories, outsider art follies, far-flung community halls, sylvan fields, darkened caves and the huge horseshoe-shaped Asbyrgi canyon (formed, legend has it, by the hoofprint of Odin's six-legged horse Sleipnir), the band reached an entirely new spectrum of the Icelandic population; young and old, ardent and merely quizzical, entirely by word-of-mouth.

Material from all four of the band's albums is featured, including many rare and notable moments. Among these are a heart-stopping rendition of the previously unreleased 'Guitardjamm', filmed inside a derelict herring oil tank in the far West Fjords; a windblown, one-mic recording of 'Vaka', shot at a dam protest camp subsequently drowned by rising water; and first time acoustic versions of such rare live beauties as 'Staralfur', 'Agaetis Byrjun' and 'Von'. "

I thought this was a pretty sick idea, from a pretty cool and very unique band. not the type of music your really gonna party to but some good music if your just chillen surfin the net, or relaxing and blazin. Check the trailer out here...

ive been busy lately, but dont worry kiddies, i have some sweet shit on its way

Drogba Wants Out

i was already shocked by the departure of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, but today i read some news that really knocked my socks off. Didier Drogba has demanded a trade. Im not gonna go into details because the following article is short and sums its all up pretty well so i suggest jsut reading it for yourself. If you know anything about soccer you realize this is like the lakers trading Kobe Bryant for Europeans. Drogba is arguably the most talented striker going right now, and he has many years to come. Hes strong, fast, determined, confident, and skilled, basically hes like an african god. Whatever team lands him (Barcelona, Real madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan) is going to be in serious position to steal the champions league. It would be especially interesting to see him split time with henry and eto'o at barcelona, making one of the most rediculous striker combos of all time. However id probbaly most like to see him go to AC Milan and play with Kaka, the clear choice for world player of the year, because they are my favorite team of the bunch. If he goes to Inter, ill prolly kill myself, seeing thats puffs favorite team, and seeing the look on his face when he hears that drogba moved there will kill me because i dislike inter so much. Just knowing an inter fan is happy will make me want to scratch my nails on a chalk board. If your not familiar with Drogba check out the video below. the link below is the article.

Foozeball

I saw some highlights of minnisota rookie running back adrian peterson this weekend after he stomped all over the bears, and i was completely blown away by his talent. Ive never see a running back with the combination of speed, awareness, and pure will to stay on his feet as peterson. This kid is gonna be sick. What really makes me like him is the fact it looks like he is running with attitude, like hes running as hard as he can on every single play. Its that desire that makes him a threat to score a touchdown on every play. Watch him make what was considered a very good bears defense, especially run defense, look absolutely silly.

nike is doin work

some sick ass new realeases from nike. The first is a nike/Huf colloaboration, huf and nike always seem to put out some tight shit. A nice earthquake style print on the black air max 1's, and the lime green accents stand out nice. Plus you cant go wrong with gum soles. The second is a new dunk low released as a collobo with japanese artist Takashi Hasakawa. Pretty simple silver and black, but the laser on the heal is a real nice touch. the third is a dunk high, its modeled after a skate deck appearantly, not seeing a huge resemblence but i dont know that much about skateboarding really, all i know is the colors are nice and the pattern on the heal mixes it up a little. The last is a air max 90 from the same Hufmax pack the air max 1's is from. Not really my style, but the earthquake print is hot these days, and everyone loves blue.
