Straight Edge On Fox News

People,

That's an example of the social groups we have been talking during our classes.
They have their style, their language, music, behaviour and a specific goal.
I do have a documentary talking about this group, how and where it started.
Although majority of population doesn't know this group exists its important to point it does exist and have their followers. They have their own way to see life and who we should behave to it.


Would you like to be a Straight Edge???

This is a pic I've made as a tribute to Angus Young, from AC/DC, today is his birthday so...

Hail Hail Rock n' Roll!!

he's got 56 years on his back and he keep on rockin'

A nice message for the Humanity

David Vaughan Icke is an English writer and public speaker best known for his views on what he calls "who and what is really controlling the world." Describing himself as the most controversial speaker and author in the world, he has written 18 books explaining his position, dubbed New Age–conspiracism, and has attracted a substantial following across the political spectrum.

This video is a speech he gave at a conference that he had in Melbourne-Australia in 2009, which was edited with images from the movie V of Vengeance, is subtitled in Spanish, but you can understand the message he wants to transmit.

Make something of your ride safer

Before I think it was very difficult to get lost in the field or in the mountains. But from what I've seen, is not that difficult, it is more common than it seems. / So here are some survival tips. The most important tip is to NEVER walk alone always accompanied, preferably in groups, and always have someone with experience will accompany this course. The materials needed are: a regional map, a compass, water, flashlight, rope, walk talk, and a whistle./ The map will be necessary to trace the path you want to go with it and use a compass to follow the path as designated by map coordinates. These are the tips for the trip. The water should be used as is the need of your fatigue. Also an object that can be very useful is the flashlight, but the flashlight should be used only at night, when necessary, to save as much as possible from it’s battery. Now go tips in the event something unexpected like, someone from the group, or just fell into a hole, it will be necessary for the rope, walk talk and whistle. The rope is usefull if someone falls into a hole too deep, and so it will help you to remove your colleague there. The walk talk to occur, communication between the separate groups. And the whistle, in case of someone gets lost in the group such, making the person uses it, the sound will spread easily through the site, because these places are usually open, and with that, sound travels better. / Anyway, those are some safety tips if you get lost in the field or in the mountains. One thing that is not very difficult, especially if you have no experience with it.

The latest update of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), published on 24 March 2011, revises more than 1.900 entries an adds new words. The funny part is that OED adds some abbreviations too, and now we can search in dictionary what means OMG (Oh my God), LOL (Laughing out loud), FYI (For your Imformation), IMHO (In my humble opinion), TMI (To much Imformation) and BFF (Best Friends Forever).

According to the OED this abbreviations are associated with the language of electronic communications, e.g. email, texting blogs , and so on.

And I just have one question, Why WTF wasn't add too ?

Motorcycle trip:

Travelling by motorcycle s considered one of the best feelings. The sense of freedom is elusive, but there are many risks and precautions that should be taken.

On rainy days motorcycle have to slide mor easily, so could case a serious accident.

Running the motorcycle is also a less desirable because of the attitues likely to die in motorcycle accidents is much higher than the car. The impact is immediate because it has the structure of a car to sufer the strain and reduce this impact.

Some motorcycle tend to cut traffic, other apropriate action, because any movement can have miscalculated the consequences.

So travel by motorcycle can be very enjoyable, but one must take security measures to keep thmselves alive.

Bullying

Hey Everyone,


Here I am again.

Now to speak about a really serious subject. Bullying.

Many people have been suffering social pression only because a specific behaviour or an appearence element.

Sad things have been done, since tease with bad words to beating situations, just to show useless supremacy.

Nowadays a famous case have been commented all over the world. It's the case of Casey Heynes, a 15-year-old boy from Australia. In Brazil he's been called Zanguief, in regard to a special skill of the character of the Street-Fighter.

The main reason of the importance of this case is that the victim faught the bullying back. After years of suffering the victim didn't stay passive waiting, but he got his agressor and taught him a lesson.

Here - http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/article/8226524/net-bullying-victim - you find an interview with Casey, where he tell his difficulties with bullying.


Have you even seen a bullying situation before?


That's all people

I'm posting this song 'cause i think it's lyrics are kinda interesting, so I decided to share it with ya, here goes the lyrics:

Sympathy For The Devil Rolling Stones
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long years
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

Rocky Road To Dublin - The Dubliners

Happy Saint Patrick's Day every one!!!!

And to celebrate this important moment to English speaker's countries I offer you the music we listened in class. There is no aparent relation with Saint Patrick's Day, but it is a clasical Irish folk music and represents well the life in Ireland. I'm also attaching some photos my wife and I took during a Saint Patrick's day Parade. It's really nice event around there. I hope you like....

 

This is my son and me.

Dubliners – Rocky Road to Dublin[1]

While in the merry month of May from me home I started, Left the girls of Tuam so sad and broken hearted, Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother, Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, leave where I as born, Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins; Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !

In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary, Started by daylight next morning blithe and early, Took a drop of pure to keep me heart from sinking; Thats a Paddy's cure whenever he's on drinking. See the lassies smile, laughing all the while. At me curious style, 'twould set your heart a bubbling. Asked me was I hired, wages I required, I was almost tired of the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !

In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity To be soon deprived a view of that fine city. So then I took a stroll, all among the quality; Me bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality. Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind, No bundle could I find upon me stick a wobbling. Enquiring for the rogue, they said me Connaught brogue
Wasn't much in vogue on the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !

From there I got away, me spirits never falling, Landed on the quay, just as the ship was sailing. The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he; When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy. Down among the pigs, played some hearty rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling; When off Holyhead I wished meself was dead, Or better for instead on the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky road all the way to Dublin, Whack follol de rah !

Well the boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed, Called me self a fool, I could no longer stand it. Blood began to boil, temper I was losing; Poor old Erin's Isle they began abusing. "Hurrah me soul" says I, me Shillelagh I let fly. Some Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in, With a load "hurray !" joined in the affray. We quitely cleared the way for the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three four, five,
Hunt the Hare and turn her down
the rocky road and all the way to Dublin,
Whack follol de rah !

"Mario" - The Film

Hello Everyone,

I was surfing on Facebook and a friend of mine posted a movie's trailes called "Mario".
Yeah, "Mario", the same game created by Nintendo. The game majority of us played during childhood and some of us still playing nowadays.
The trailer brings a bit of the magic of Mario's world, with all the characters we used to see in the game.
There are Peach, Luigi, Koopa, Turtles, Golden boxes, Mushrooms and etc. Mario's image is built as a loser that cannot get his princess back and start to have alucinacions over it. After the alucinations, he became a junker on the streets fighting against things that doesn't exist.
I didn't watch it, but I'll love to do so. I played so many times the game (my son still does) that I do understand every comment made in the trailer. It make me fell as a nerd. hehe
What about you? What do you thing about the trailer? Would you like to watch it?

Take care people!!!
See you in class.
