Drops of Jupiter - Train

Now that she's back in the atmosphere / Ahora que ha vuelto a la atmosfera
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey / con gotas de Júpiter en su pelo
She acts like summer and walks like rain / actúa como Verano y camina como la lluvia
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey / me recuerda que hay momentos para cambiar
Since the return from her stay on the moon / desde que volvió de su estancia en la luna
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey / escucha como la Primavera y habla como Junio

Tell me did you sail across the sun / Dime , si navegaste a través del sol?
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded / Si pasaste por la Vía Láctea para ver las luces de colorarse
And that heaven is overrated / Y que ese cielo esta sobreestimado

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star / Dime, si caíste por una estrella fugaz
One without a permanent scar / Una sin una cicatriz permanente
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there /Y si me extrañaste mientras estabas buscándote a ti misma allí afuera?

Now that she's back from that soul vacation / Ahora que ella volvió de esas vacaciones del alma
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey / razando su camino a través de la constelación
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo / Escucha a Mozart mientras practica Tae-Bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey / Me recuerda que ahí hay lugar para crecer

Now that she's back in the atmosphere / Ahora que ha vuelto a la atmosfera
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane / 
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land / Contó una historia acerca de un hombre que tenía miedo de volar así que nunca aterrizó.

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet / Dime, si el viento te barrio fuera de tus pies
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day / Si finalmente tuviste ocasión de bailar a lo largo del la luz del día
And head back to the Milky Way / Y volver a la Vía Láctea
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind / Y dime, si Venus soplo en tu mente
Was it everything you wanted to find / Si era todo lo que querías encontrar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there / Y si me extrañaste mientras estabas buscándote a ti misma allí fuera

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken / Puedes imaginarte sin ningún amor, ni orgullo, ni pollo frito,
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong / sin tu mejor amigo siempre pegado a ti, incluso cuando se que estas mal,
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation / Puedes imaginarte sin tu primer baile, sin un helado y seco romance, sin 5 horas de conversación por teléfono
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me / sin el mejor latte de soya… Y sin mi.

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet / Dime, si el viento te barrio fuera de tus pies
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day / Si finalmente tuviste ocasión de bailar a lo largo del la luz del día
And head back toward the Milky Way / Y volver a la Vía Láctea

I really like this song. First, I like the group of music (Train), I love all songs. This song is perfect as the entry of instruments or other things.
The letter of This Song is particularly rare or for example "She Listens like spring and talks like June" or "With drops of Jupiter in her hair". I recommend this song and the group.

NBA finals: LeBron James stars as Cleveland tie Golden State

The last night it played the second game between Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers. This second match won Cleveland 95-93 after the overtime with , now we had a draw 1-1.

LeBron James was the hero with his 39 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists. Golden State did a good job in defense but not enough to stop the King James. Golden State won the first game 108-100, also in overtime, on Thursday, and the series now moves to Cleveland for two matches, starting on Tuesday. Now already played 2 games with two overtimes, hopefully the next gamewill be as good as the others games.

Robbery in Girona

First, I'm talking about football. Well, I mean today Girona football had a match versus Lugo and If Girona won, they would go to first league with Barça, Madrid and others.

For only they had to win against Lugo and Lugo couldn't finish first but If Girona didn't win, Sporting would go to first league. Sporting pay money to Lugo for Girona not win. In the game the other team was losing time but when Girona scored the first goal they began to play hard because they only care about the money that would pay them. Same with the referees who were against Girona.

Now Girona need to win the Playoffs to go first league.

 This is a picture when you can see one player of Girona that is crying because the referee disallowed the goal.

Barcelona crowned European champions for fifth time

After a physically hard game versus Juventus, Luis Enrique's team became champion. Barcelona gets the Champion League and thanks to win the Champions they also win the triplet.

Barça began attacking like lightning, they could kill the match in the first 20 minutes. After 20 minutes they relaxed. But in second half Morata scored the draw for the Juventus. After the draw, Barcelona returned to play hard, scored the second and third goal and won the cup.

Besides that was the fifth Champions Barcelona, that game was the last for a football legend as Xavi Hernandez who is leaves the club after 17 seasons. It was the perfect ending as Andres Iniesta handed him the armband.



In my opinion:

This year Barcelona deserved everything they have achieved. It was the best club in the world and so it has proved, winning three cups against good teams.

Now they eat his words

A lot of peoples as periodists, commentadors and other professionals of fotball said that Barça didn't get great new players. Well, currently Barça won The BBVA League, Spanish Cup and is in the final of Champions League. All of the people who said that, now are eating their words.

Primarily  the new players are Luis Suarez, Rakitic, Rafinha, Claudio Bravo, Ter stegen and others. They have done a great job and played at a high level except Vermaelen because has been injured all season

Luis Enrique is a fotball coach who this year came to Barcelona to train the team. Everybody said that he would do nothing but has achieved more than recent coaches. Also they compare it with Pep Guardiola who won six cups in one year. For now, Luis has won only two.

So, all those people who said that, now or they saying otherwise or eating all they have said.

Xavi leaves Barça

The best midfielders in the world and one of the best ever as Xavi Hernandez leaves the club after 17 seasons with magic, good times, some not so good and many celebrations. Yeas, Xavi will go to Qatar to play football the next 3 years. It is a very sad moment for all Barcelona fans. He has won 25 cups for Barca.

Xavi has always been my idol in football although I play basketball. I could say that my style of play in basketball is like Xavi but theirs in football. I have always admired as he directed the mach, the good passes and his intelligence in the field.

I hope to return soon to Barcelona, and not as a player but as a coach or technical staff.

   

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Is an american drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont and starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. The films tells the story of Andy Dufrese (Tim Robbins) who was a banker and he decided to kill his wife and her lover.

While Andy was in prison he met Ellis Boyd "Red" (Morgan Freeman) and other prisioners. The prison is a terrible place with criminals and Andy isn't strong but during his time at prision he finds protection by the guards after the warden starts using him in his money laundering operation.

I really like this movie by its realism, performances and amazing history. It has sad moments and happy times. The final is awesome. For me The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best films in history of the cinema.

         

Jared Leto Is The New Joker

This photo you can see the new Joker in the film Suicide Squad starred by Jared Leto. What do you think?  For me I hate this new Joker. For this reason:










When he had the Joker tattoos or been strong? never. Joker is a simple villan with his painted face. Also he never been strong, always he is known for his cunning and intelligence as the Joker starred by Heath Ledger or Jack Nicholson .






Although the actor was good (Jared Leto), I think that this new Joker will be the worst of the three for his bad style and also it is impossible to equal the others Joker.

Stephen Curry The MVP

Stephen Curry is a NBA player who plays in Golden State Warriors. This may he won the MVP (most valuable player). I think that he deserves it, this year there hasn't been a player as good as him. Besides, his team has been first thanks to Stephen.




For mi Stephen Curry is different from others players, I mean that he isn't very strong or muscular as Russell Westbrook or a player who makes amazing dunks as LeBron James. Stephen Curry makes Magic with basketball. Most people likes Stephen because when he is in on the court, the game changes. Also he's a great 3-pointer, this year he won the 3-point contest.



His father (Dell Curry) was also a good player. But now this is the moment when we could say "the son is better than the father"






Some awesome plays from Stephen Curry

Homage to Paul Walker in Fast & Furious 7

Paul walker was an american actor who born in 1973 and he died in November 2013 in a car accident. He did films as Fast and Furious (all of them), eight below and Timeline. Basically we know him by Fast and Furious.

When he died, he was still recording Fast and Furious 7 and he couldn't finish. It was very sad because they were like a family but his died affect everyone. They could finish the movie without Paul. The director of Fast and Furious want to honor Paul for every moments past in the seven films. He put in the end of the film a tribute for Paul, it's a song with his best moments in Fast and Furious.

Toronto

To whom it many concern.

I would like to work as a mascot because I like to feel happy the other people. Also I'm very laughting and I think that would be a good job for me. Since the General Manager of Toronto Raptors did not pick me, I need to find a job near the basketball. After I thought a lot of jobs nearly basketball I chose the mascot option. I think that I will enjoy this job and people will enjoy me.

Looking forward to your prompt reply.

Yours faithfully
