Really shocking what happened in Norway a couple days ago, when a right-wing, Christian fundamentalist bombed a building and then caused a shooting at a Labour-party youth camp leaving more than 75 dead. This obviously was a terrorist act and here’s hoping that this right-winger burns in hell where he belongs. I’m very disappointed that, in my opinion, the North American media decided to focus more on the death of Amy Winehouse than an actual disaster such as the one in Norway. I’m hoping that the whole of Norway recovers from this terrorist act.
Which leads me to this point, why do people think that terrorists are just Islamic extremists? It isn’t true. People who commit violent acts to instill fear in a country for some kind of goal are terrorists, no matter what religion.
This year’s Copa America tournament has been very interesting, to say the least. Uruguay has won this year’s Copa America by beating Paraguay 3-0 in the final. Sorry guys, I guess you won’t be seeing Larissa Riquelme parading down the streets of Paraguay naked. I know, I have been hoping for it too. I think it’s safe to say that Uruguay is the best team in South America now.
In Canada, we are a bit spoiled for choice, where we can watch the Copa America in either English or Spanish commentary. I have listened to both commentaries for a number of games. I like watching the Spanish commentary for the pure passion that the Spanish commentators spew out, such as their exuberant celebrations of a goal, as well as when the player misses by saying “Ce la perdio!” I also liked the English commentary, supplied by The Score, for talking about the tactics of the two teams, and what they need to do tactically to succeed. The English commentators are very intelligent people, and can identify potential problems in a team, which could result in a goal. Overall, I can’t decide between the two, as they both offer different experiences in the same game.
Want to end your drunken night quickly? Try listening to your completely wasted university friend break down and cry about all the issues surrounding him. To be honest, I don’t remember any of his “issues” from that night, and I’m beginning to think that he did this to screw me out of a good night of my own. If somehow this guy is reading this, let me say this to him…
Life isn’t fair. Shit happens and it is up to you to deal with it. You go around and act like you are better than everyone else and that whatever you do is the right thing, like a typical conservative and like a typical wealthy person. You put up this fake tough exterior, but when I saw you break down, I saw a boy that needed help. By knowing you for the past two years, I realized that you are a very pessimistic person, and only see the bad in everything. Maybe you should try to see the good in people and things. Maybe you should stop calling people names, and learn to encourage people in whatever that they plan to do. We are all not as fortunate as you…
That is all I got to say.
