Reds Won, Red Devils Lost

CRAP! Yesterday saw Liverpool finally getting the better of Manchester United as Ryan Babel's late goal clinched a 2-1 win over my team. CRAP! Liverpool had lost seven of the last eight league encounters between them, dating back to 2004, and the Reds fell behind at Anfield when Carlos Tevez struck for United in the third minute.

But Wes Brown's own goal gave Liverpool a 27th-minute equaliser and Babel (pic), coming on as a substitute just six minutes earlier, grabbed the decisive goal 13 minutes from full-time. The day got even worse for Sir Alex Ferguson when Nemanja Vidic was sent off in the dying minutes.

What else can I say? My team is languishing at the bottom half of the BPL table after three games and not only have they lost, they looked lost too.

Seeing Life Differently

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.


A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.


Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'



Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?


Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.


The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling. And even more beautiful is knowing that YOU are the reason behind it!

Cartoon From The Good Ol' Days

Those of us that grew up in the 70's would probably remember watching a cartoon on TV called Blocker Corps Machine Blaster. This little-known Japanese anime was something that really captured the imagination of kids back then, seeing that we had little choice in TV programming back then.

So for those of you feeling nostalgic about it, perhaps the songs from the opening and closing credits would help bring back memories of those younger days. Damn, the closing credit's song always brings tears of joy to me. Enjoy!
