Oscar Watch: Best Documentary

Man On Wire

Her Morning Elegance--Oren Lavie

I found this on a site I seem to find a lot of cool stuff. Thought it was a pretty clever use of stop-motion, and it's a catchy song. win win in my book.

Oscar Watch--Best Picture

Over the next few days, I am going to be posting some things about the best picture nominees, and other nominees for the Oscar's. Here is my favorite. Slumdog Millionaire

Bumpy Pitch

So, I am here before it is time for me to be, but I wanted to tell you about this great sight, and these flippin cool t-shirts. They are by a designer called Bumpy Pitch and are...well, I will let Polkadot tell you about them.

"Bumpy Pitch is a lifestyle clothing company inspired by Soccer. The brand is focused on presenting the history, culture and lifestyle that the sport has to offer, combined and influenced by the creators own contemporary and original perspectives. Soccer positively influences vast people worldwide, and Bumpy Pitch encapsulates this spirit in their modern men’s fashion collection."

So anyways, check 'em out and buy one if you want to.

I guess that is all for now.

So, it's been awhile. I'm sorry internet

Since I have been on hiatus from this most magical undertaking called gngl, many things have happened. Christmas, New Year's, and the start of school. I truly love my classes and hope that things work out this semester, instead of like last time where they were slightly better than awful but much worse than bad.

Goals for now:

-All A's
-A 3:10 Marathon in February
-The US Men's National Team beating the crap out of Mexico in the ice bowl in February. (I guess that isn't really a goal, but more like a wish)
-To update this thing once a week.

and now a song.





I hope you like it. and lastly, the goals from the US v Sweden match from last night. Sacha Klejstan is the man.





Have a great night.

It's Winter time

It's foggy and cold outside. The fog drapes itself around me and leaves me feeling cold but safe. I love winter. It is such a dreary time, with its darkness and frigid air, but it's my favorite time of year. I think it is because you can feel down and swept away in that funk where you know everything and don't know anything. Where you feel the emotions of the day, but they leave you feeling the same. Where life seems to stand still while you find that perfect quote or poem or song for that certain moment. You can feel all of this, and it doesn't matter because it's winter, and you are allowed to feel this way when it's winter time.

In this winter funk (that is what I will call what i just described), I thought of something that I think you should think about (if that makes sense). Where would you be if you could be anywhere, with anyone, at any time doing anything? the possibilities are endless, but I don't ever think like that, and I doubt you do either. Try it, and then let that feeling of happiness and comfort wash over you. then, I think you will be able to experience how winter makes me feel.

Goodnight and Goodluck Internet. Sleep well.

Some things about me

So, here are some things that define me:

1. I am a huge soccer fan. My favorite teams are and always will be FC Dallas, and the US Men's National Team. I also like the English Premier League, but don't really have a team that I root for. I also will occasionally write about soccer related things, and hopefully present a different approach to writing about the beautiful game.

2. I am a runner. I run a lot. I may write about this sometimes.

3. I really love indie music. It is so different from the mainstream, but also seems so much more real and from the heart than other music. I am very passionate about music, and may write about that as well.

4. I go to school at Texas A&M University, and am so very proud that I can say that. This school is my home, and I couldn't go anywhere else for my education. I could write about this at some point too.

5. Lastly, at least for now, I have a mantra, or a quote to live by. It was said by Sir Cecil Beaton, and goes like this:

"be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. "

and who knows, I may write about this too.

I hope you are having a good day. I guess I will go back to studying for finals.
