I have reached the age whereby all new footballing prodigies and uprising artistes are younger than me. Several years back, no matter how young the new kids on the block are, they are still older than me. Take the times when players like Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney, or singers like Chris Brown, just emerged into the scenes of fame and recognition.
Last night, yet another disastrous result for Man Utd. But the horrific impact of the devastation was greatly alleviated upon witnessing the result of the other significant match - Tottenham 1 Chelsea 0.
So the pain and shame is being shared, and United continues to maintain a healthy lead over Chelsea. This is crucial because it is of common sense that Chelsea poses more of a threat than Liverpool, no matter what players they pencil into their starting 11. Liverpool's forte is riding on luck. I have never seen a team that depends so heavily on fortune, than on actual calibre of players. Past Liverpool players like Bellamy, Diouf, Cheyrou, Diao, etc etc etc were once being hailed as integral parts of the team, and it goes to show the rich heritage and tradition of Liverpool flop signings within their assemblage. Zero depth in strength. Bet people will not forget the pair of Le Tallec and Sinama Pongolle, the names which will undoubtedly elicit thoughts and mental images relating to the phrase, BIG TIME FLOP!
Actually it does not matter if there are flops in the team. Man Utd fans who have seen the likes Djemba Djemba and Chadwick will attest to that. BUT THE issue here is, no team flaunts their flops as much as Liverpool does. And no team places so much emphasis in signing run-of-the-mill players and going on to claim they are the new world class superstars.
I'm going to admit that the Liverpool defeat plays a part in inciting me to post such disparaging comments of them. Haha. Ok it is time for United to buck up. Tonight Liverpool faces Aston Villa. Go Villa.

Enough of football blabber. The end of March is looming. Another new month awaits. Time passes so darn fast. I am pleased with the life I am leading at the moment, carefree and joyous. But I am worried about the future. And it is this very worry that is inhibiting the full enjoyment of my current lifestyle. The niggling worry is always at the back of my head, like an unsinkable buoy in the vast oceans of thoughts, perpetually bobbing up and down, never being engulfed or hidden by the treacherous waves, no matter how hard they tried.
It's been a long time since I did some running, and that's probably why I feel breathless pretty quickly after just several sets in the gym.
In life there are things that people do that will definitely go against your beliefs and values of what you perceive as morally correct. My opinion is that there is no way you can expect people to observe YOUR standard of decorum, and I think that deragotary remarks with regards to their less-than-ideal behaviors should be best kept to yourself to a certain extent. Despite us being in a liberal environment, there are still certain unspoken limits . Personal attacks on other people, on how shitty they behave, should just be kept to yourself. As a friend in VS once mentioned to me, how can you expect everyone to be flawless. If you keep rambling on, and going in depth beyond objectivity with your insults, then please do shut up.

I wish all my friends well in their future endeavours. Hope everyone becomes successful. Cheers.
