For the last couple of months I have been getting pissed off about all the negativity surrounding my MotoGP hero. The commentators were wondering out loud whether Valentino Rossi still had it in him to win a Grand Prix. So-called Valentino Rossi fans switched over to the Casey Stoner camp. People were saying it was time for him to retire and that he was too old to keep up with the young guns. It made me furious. Valentino Rossi has seven world titles under his belt and he is without a doubt the most talented rider on the track.
Yesterday Valentino Rossi proved everyone wrong and silenced all his critics by winning the GP of China in a very impressive way. His motorbike and tires finally allowed him to showcase what he is capable of. Every lap he went faster and faster until no one could keep up with him. He is a true champion and it’s about time that people consider him as a world title contender again. Valentino Rossi rules!
The first time I heard David Cook (American Idols) sing Billy Jean I thought he was brilliant. The musical arrangement was simply beautiful. Little did I know that the genius who had come up with that arrangement was Chris Cornell. Anyway, when I heard that the original Michael Jackson song was covered by Chris Cornell I just had to have the song. Turns out that it was an acoustic version from his album “Unplugged in Sweden”.
I’ve been a fan of Chris Cornell since his Soundgarden days, so naturally I wanted to have the whole album. It is beautiful. I can’t really say which song is my favorite, because they’re all so good. I absolutely love the covers that are on the album like Redemption song and Thank you. It was hard to pick an unplugged song to post on my blog, but I decided on the acoustic version of ‘Black Hole Sun’. It is one of my favorite songs of the ’90s. Hope you like it as much as I do.
Today I came across one of those weird, meaningless quizzes. Usually I don’t do them, because they are so NOT accurate. But… I just had to do this one; How Aussie are you? I am married to an Aussie and I’ve lived in Australia for three years now. Not to forget the fact that soon I’ll be applying for Australian passport. So how Aussie am I after three years living in the land of Oz?
You are 83% Aussie!
She’ll be apples in the morning with a bit of practice. Break out the barbie and invite some mates over. Chuck some vic bitter in the esky and have a bonzer time!
