The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love. - Jennifer Edwards
for a moment. something.
not in love. not love. something. strange.
maybe i should stop playing.
anywayz. new song. interesting song. a mix between Bread and Tracy Chapman.
besides that
today: disappointed.
Germany lost to Spain. But after reading the article regarding Lahm and Low, I agreed Lahm shouldn’t be giving up his Captain position at all even though Ballack came back from recovery from the injury. He had done an excellent job leading the team to semi-final, he should continue his post and lead them to final. Low was wrong and as much as I wanted to see Ballack on screen again, it would kill the spirits. Anyhow, this had cause internal team conflict…and we can see that during the play today.
Really miss Muller cuz I believe without Muller, Germany lost their left leg (Muller leads balls with his right leg but strikes goals with his left.) and seriously, i do miss Lehmann as the goal keeper.
Klose, Lahm and Ozil were playing their best. props to them!
saw Bierhoff on screen today. still as good looking as ever. still remember his Euro 1996 goal. the golden goal! my striker, the fastest hat-trick 3 goals in 7 minutes, the best header, he was powerful in the air! because of him, i became a fan of Germany.

At long last, the doodling daydreamer is getting some respect.
In the past, daydreaming was often considered a failure of mental discipline, or worse. Freud labeled it infantile and neurotic. Psychology textbooks warned it could lead topsychosis. Neuroscientists complained that the rogue bursts of activity on brain scans kept interfering with their studies of more important mental functions.
But now that researchers have been analyzing those stray thoughts, they’ve found daydreaming to be remarkably common — and often quite useful. A wandering mind can protect you from immediate perils and keep you on course toward long-term goals. Sometimes daydreaming is counterproductive, but sometimes it fosters creativity and helps you solve problems.
Consider, for instance, these three words: eye, gown, basket. Can you think of another word that relates to all three? If not, don’t worry for now. By the time we get back to discussing the scientific significance of this puzzle, the answer might occur to you through the “incubation effect” as your mind wanders from the text of this article — and, yes, your mind is probably going to wander, no matter how brilliant the rest of this column is.
Mind wandering, as psychologists define it, is a subcategory of daydreaming, which is the broad term for all stray thoughts and fantasies, including those moments you deliberately set aside to imagine yourself winning the lottery or accepting the Nobel. But when you’re trying to accomplish one thing and lapse into “task-unrelated thoughts,” that’s mind wandering. Read the rest of this entry »
