When a Hero Comes Along( a tribute to Rio)

I woke up this morning without my 6600 buzzing in my ear. I actually automatically woke up at 0300hrs by myself! Perhaps it was a sign on things to come, since its been a while since I woke up in the wee hours without an alarm. Anywayz I trudged out, brought my laptop, signed on MSN, and switched on the TV.

Manchester United vs Liverpool @ Old Trafford

The games was only bout two minutes old and it was clear Man U was dominating. Surprisingly, or not surprisingly rather, Pri was online, prob stuck wif work or something. Ben was on too, prob watching the match. I had hoped that Mel would be on, but knowing the inadequate internet facilities at leicester uni, it would prob be a while before I catch her online. Anyways man u dominated most of the match and as I told everybody Man U by a goal. Thanx to some bullet-like headers from silvestre, man u took one step to hauling themselves back up the table. I told myself at half-time dat if man u lost this match their season would be over, after just 6 matches. 2-1 final score.


Rio in action - poetry in motion Anyways I was realli impressed with Rio Ferdinand's performance. As the commentator mentioned, eight months out of the game, and came back with performance as if he was never gone a day. What a pro, what a player. I salute you Rio. Glad to have you back. Watching ppl like Keane, Heinze and even Smith throwing themselves on the ground to get the ball back was realli inspiring, and reminded me why hard work will always get you places, even if it may take a while.



Oh well, short post for today, work is realli super boring and right now don't have anything interesting to write. Today's gonna be a relatively short day, looking forward to practising my standing broad jump after work today.

By the way, this song was echoing in my head after sending Mel off at the airport, dunno why...but it was a song I had not heard playing in my head for a long time.

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my faith?
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're gray and old?'
Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take meI know that life won't break me
When I come to call
She won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

Hmm, the more i think bout it, the lyrics of this song are pretty impressive, if only I could come up with lyrics like these. Anyways if anybody sees that ditz of a blonde Jessica Simpson please, please give her a slap for spoiling such a nice song. talk about freeloading.

Out.
