Frivolity

I was tagged to come up with a list of folks I wouldn't toss out of bed, such as Jude Law or Boyd Holbrook. This, you must admit, is a rather tenuous position for someone of my advancing age to lay claim to. I mean, to say that I'd be interested in purely physical things with, say, the actress Keira Knightley or the musician Loreena McKennitt, or even the little known actors Francisco Bosch (Bagoas) or Stefano Dionisi (Farinelli) might send you all into paroxisms of horror. You might allow me to indulge, however, in celebrities more my own age, such as Smokey Robinson, with those green eyes. But you may cringe when I mention the very young blues musician, Jonny Lang. Still, I doubt that you'd find it surprising to see other models or actors included in the list, such as Hugh Dancy or Jonathan Rhys-Meyer. Or even the athlete David Beckham. Still, if we want to think locally while acting globally, maybe we'd all put [livejournal.com profile] adamasoda on the list.

However, to make such a list would be odd, don't you think?

And not only is Jonny Lang cute, the boy can sing: Lie To Me (link active for 1 week).

That's a great thing actually. And yeah, I think I read/saw somewhere that USA's soccer team is quickly becoming one of the teams to watch now. Possibly one of the reasons why it was a rather minority sport before is because there're so many options for you guys, you got a ton of team sports. Soccer is more or less a poor man's sport, have ball, will play, so to speak.

Oh, it could be cheap, but we have to make it expensive. Most kids have to play in club teams, and the fees can get unbelievably expensive. Plus travel. Our league encompasses teams that are up to a 4 hour drive away. And out-of-town tournaments with motel stays.

LOL, yeah. I get that. My brother plays though, but not in a proper club, just informal leagues, I believe. And he often goes to a field near our house with friends just to have a game. I believe that's why it's so popular in the poorer countries like Brazil and Argentina, the kids don't have the fancy equipment and etc but they can still play.
