Time to talk again about my favorite Idol performances. Not unexpectedly, I'm loving Adam Lambert's Feeling Good. Adam just keeps on delivering week after week after week. I would be very disappointed if he does not make it to the final two and if he does not win.
Okay, so we know that Matt Damon is shooting a movie called The Human Factor and we also know that it is about Nelson Mandela and rugby. So is Matt Damon playing Nelson Mandela? Nah. That would be crazy. Morgan Freeman is Mandela and Matt is some rugby dude named Francois Pienaar.
Because we hardly know anything about this guy, here's what wikipedia says about him:
Jacobus Francois Pienaar (born 2 January 1967 in Vereeniging, South Africa) captained and played flanker for the South African Springboks national rugby union team from 26 June 1993 until 10 August 1996.
Prior to the World Cup in 1995, the Springboks were only seeded ninth and were not expected to dethrone the incumbent champions Australia, who had not lost a game in the preceding 12 months. As South Africa was in transition, and considering Nelson Mandela's high-profile support of the Springboks, Pienaar recognized that his side’s participation transcended the realm of sport. While the squad included only one “coloured” player, Chester Williams, the Springboks were seen as representing the whole of South Africa, not just the white minority.
During the tournament, the Springboks defeated Australia, Romania, Canada, Western Samoa and France. They then met historic rivals New Zealand in the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final at Ellis Park Stadium. Pienaar played on in extra-time despite a calf strain and the Springboks secured a three-point victory with a drop goal from Joel Stransky.
During the remarkable post-match presentation ceremony Nelson Mandela, wearing a Springbok jersey bearing Pienaar's number, presented him with the Webb Ellis trophy. During his acceptance speech, Pienaar made it clear that the team had won the trophy not just for the 60,000 fans at Ellis Park, but also for all 43,000,000 South Africans.
Here's a movie still from the Sylvester Stallone movie, The Expendables. Not sure when its going to be released but they are doing the shooting now. As an Stallone fan, am sure are looking forward to it.
We like this song. We're not sure yet if it's our favorite of the album, Forever in a Day, but it's right up there.
Perfectly Blind Lyrics Artist: Day 26
My wide eyes, straight with red lines Visions of me and you Shattered in a day like broken glass
Perfectly blind, (said I'm perfectly blind) Perfectly blind, (please somebody help me) Perfectly blind, (I need an answer) Perfectly blind, perfectly
Mind is worn, heart is torn Violently craving A Substitute for you, (a substitute)
These eyes see darkness These eyes see through These eyes are begging These eyes are you
Perfectly blind,( perfectly blind) Perfectly blind, (Oh) Perfectly blind, I don't know what I'm gonna do right now Perfectly blind, (Said I am)
Would you take me as I am? I'm just a scarred man These hands need your guidance Take me past my circumstance
Perfectly blind, (blind) Perfectly blind, I cannot see anything when your around me Perfectly blind, (So blind) Perfectly blind, (So, Oh Oh)
So blind, so blind, so blind, so blind But it's okay, (but it's okay) I wanna be lost in you, (lost in you) I wanna be lost in you Feel free to lead me where ever you want me to go And yes I'm going to follow, (follow), oh oh
Interesting song. Never thought that women's fickle-mindedness would be equated to a mental disorder. Hehe. Bipolar is one of the tracks of Day 26's comeback offering, Forever in a Day.
Bipolar Lyrics Artist: Day 26
Crazy!
VERSE ONE Girl what do you want me to do Do you want me to stay or do you want me to wait I’m not a pendulum to you to sway Sometimes you’re dark as night But Sometimes you’re bright as day So which extreme do you want to choose Look what you have done to my mental state I’m going through an episode, watch out I think its too late.
CHORUS Crazy I think I lost my mind today But to my dismay I’ve been led astray Cause you betrayed me And baby you caused some kind of disarray (what’s happening to you and me) She can’t make up her mind I swear this is my last time See I can’t control her I guess she’s bipolar
VERSE 2 Girl if you knew just how much I love you (but the way you been acting lately got me questioning if its true) But you wouldn’t know nothing about that boo Hold that thought ima throw you a clue Or maybe you'll see my point of view My diagnosis of the illness that affects you could put our lives at stake Look what you’ve done to my mental state I’m going through a episode, watch out I think its too late.
CHORUS
HOOK Shes suffering I know Shes suffering I know She swing both ways man yeah she bi Got me wondering why Why why why is shorty bi, bi, bi Shes suffering Shes suffering I’m not gone tell a lie I wanna be yo guy You gotta hit the road before I lose control
