I haven't blogged in a while but I wanted to share a personal story before I get into my topic. When I was younger my mom and I used to take the train to the amusement park in Coney Island. You see, I loved skee ball and would play for hours, but my mom like any good mother I guess, wanted to make sure that her son went on every ride in the park. Including the carousel. However, I hated the carousel. My biggest worry on the carousel was that while I was spinning around, I would lose sight of my mother. She never got on the ride and when the ride started I would see her, but as the ride turned…

Lately, I have been bored by hip-hop. The major labels are failing, and rappers have been failing to inspire or impress me with their latest offerings. Outside of Nas' Untitled album, and Young Jeezy's The Recession, I have been bored by the staleness that is hip-hop. I have found salvation in some lesser-known rappers like Termanology, Skyzoo, Kid Cudi, Wale, and Charles Hamilton but the likelihood is that if these rappers go from minor to major whatever newness they have now will effectively be murdered by the corporate machine.

Manchester United-CR7=14-3-2 | 4 months ago

I heard that comment too, but that could just be a bluff tactic. It not like SAF hasn't gone back on his words before. The Owen signing is interesting, and I believe that if he can give us 20-25 games with 10-15 goals that will go a long way to replacing Ronaldo's goal output.

If that happens we will have enough $ to sign more quality players next year. The only thing that worries me is that are a lot of big-name players turning their back on United.
