MacGyver and the new Mercedes-Benz Citan

He's needed again! MacGyver may have retired from life as a secret agent to go it alone as a handyman, but he cannot escape his past. In the action-packed advert and three brand-new MacGyver episodes, the hero of the 1980s and 1990s has once again found himself caught up in the struggle between good and evil.

Covers better than the original.

I love covers that are better (in my opinion) than the original, or if the artist isn't afraid to try something new with the song. Recently I was introduced to Alex Boye who is a singer in the Mormon Tabanacle Choir. Here are 2 covers which I think are pretty cool. Both done with other people. What covers do you like better than the original?

The Avengers Intro - Firefly Style

A call to Man up.

Interesting song I found promoting a Conference in the US which is to encourage young men- especially those into Hip hop to "Man up". Quite an interesting song and good to hear. My favourite verse from the song is sung by Andy Mineo

Being a man got nothing to do with age. You can be a boy till the day you
Lay in your grave. None of us behave like the image of who were made, cause
We've fallen away it's better known as depraved. Running from
Responsibility really we crave the easy way out of places that call us to
Pull our weight. Man there going through everyday decisions are made, 
Responding to the call God's giving em from the... 


Quite insightful and something we see all around us...
Full Lyrics below


All:
MAN UP! 

Lecrae:
Momma want some more Obama in me the hood want PAC hip hop wanna see the
Common in me. And since this a senseless contradiction I end up a misfit tryina fit In. This ends when I stand up and see the hands of the standard: holy is
The lamb huh(holy is the lamb) Now we holding you to man up cause we were made
In his image start looking at what you came from. 

KB:
Right after Adam every atom in our anatomy had to make adamant after what
Adonai is against. Let me take you back to the tree in Eden, if you read it you'll see that eve was deceived but Adam is the one who let it in.(Man up) Standing Leading no, we ain't leading we (Bump that) Basically little boys with
Muscles and a mustache! The femininity, we need a remedy, the God-Man, a
100 percent (strength) masculinity 

Trip Lee:
Where the men at, seems like they all lost, none of them are on the scene, 
Seems like they died off. They extinct but my dream is to rise up, we
Chasing the prize of the King the divine boss, but we fell away, now we
UnGodly  we lose and we really got the blues like Navi, I wanna celebrate the dudes that's beside me fellas lets elevate we through with the lobby
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/0-9/116_clique/man_up_anthem.html ]
Tedashii:
Go ahead I say boy Get your shine on. and if a sucker try to block you get your 9 home and
What I heard you gotta do to be a man now, stand up for yourself so I took
It in my hands now. And that's the problem man we busy trying to solve it
All the while we walking dead man somebody bring the coffin, voice drop
Peach fuzz now you think that your a man cause you feeling yourself you
Need to man up!  

Sho Baraka:
Sex and models, and tipping bottles back a pile of excuses right next to
Your bottle caps. A rolodex filled with names that you aim to
Please next to the stack of money, building up a heart of greed. Ice on his
Neck give the jokers a cold shoulder, you drunk off pride plus you loving
The hangover. You gotta whole lotta stuff that won't amount to gain life
Will never make sense cause you never made change

PRo:
You got it Twisted sick like a fever, little man live to stack dough
Keebler. Man up! Get up out of the treehouse leave the cookies alone it's
Time to eat meat now. Trying to show you a new way to live now, no charge
You can call it a freestyle. without Christ you know how your man is, you
A boy in a mans body like Tom Hanks in BIG.

Andy Mineo:
Being a man got nothing to do with age. You can be a boy till the day you
Lay in your grave. None of us behave like the image of who were made, cause
We've fallen away it's better known as depraved. Running from
Responsibility really we crave the easy way out of places that call us to
Pull our weight. Man there going through everyday decisions are made, 
Responding to the call God's giving em from the... 

All:
Man Up! 
Andy:
Let the process begin, separate the boys from the men
All:
Man Up! 
Andy:
It-it-it don't matter how you started, partner, it's about how you end
All:
Man Up! 
Andy:
Jesus is the model follow us we gon' follow him
All:
Man Up!  
Andy:
We-we the last of a dying breed it's time that we 

All:
MAN UP!  

Time consuming.

I've enjoyed reading "The song of Ice and Fire" book series. In case you haven't heard HBO has turned the books into a TV series called "A game of thrones" This has taken off massively with the second season going now. I can't really recommend the series as it has lot of nudity and sex and many other wrong things with it (fastforward button is key) but the opening sequence is awesome. Every episode it sets the scene for where everything happens in the episode. So it changes every week depending on where the action is. Some one had a guess what the season two opening scene would be and made a lego stop motion attempt at this. It is very cool though the Nintendo style music annoys me





Note: probably one of the things I do enjoy most about the original is the music so Aaran watch this at home where you can enjoy the sound- not at work ;-)

Paul McCartney's 'My Valentine' Featuring Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp

Interesting thought/song. Pretty much just features Johnny Depp and Natalie Portman signing the lyrics. But the video is kinda too artsy for someone to see/hear all the signs. curious if anyone who read sign language is on this blog still. Curious if anyone is on this blog still.

The Joke that is Australian Football

I love football. Football. Not soccer as some still try to call it. I'm also not talking throwball for all the rugby league people out there. But this week has just shown how messed up things are at the top. Here is an interesting article.
Aussie football needs new masters. Before the whole clive palmer thing happened and you can see why Clive has made a stand- misplaced as it is. found here

You’ve got to wonder what the Asian Football Confederation makes of it.

Football Federation Australia, the host of the 2015 Asian Cup, stood to lose close to $9 million in the 2010-11 financial year but was saved by an emergency grant of $7.5 million from the federal government.

The fact was not recorded in the FFA’s annual financial report and confirms what many have known in the Australian game for some time but been afraid to say publicly: Aussie football simply can’t take care of itself without putting out the begging bowl.



The FFA has failed in its duty of care to the sport and, in my view, is being run by a pack of jokers who should be run out of town.

The farcical World Cup bid was wholly funded by taxpayers. The FFA gets more favours from Canberra than just about any other sport in the land. The A-League hasn’t fired the public’s imagination in the way its creators had hoped, the competition being fatally undermined by the FFA’s own ineptitude in the key matter of expansion. The AFC continually marks down Australia in its assessment reports, locking in its number of Asian Champions League entrants at two, while lesser football powers get four. The looming TV rights deal, with so many crucial effects flowing on from it, stands to be a disaster.

It’s not the way it’s supposed to be.

And yet the comical FFA has responded to Ray Gatt’s startling revelation in The Australian by suggesting there are elements working against it and “trying to make mischief”.

“FFA has been subjected to more scrutiny than any other sport in relation to government funding and has satisfied all [its reporting] obligations,” it said in a statement. “It’s time for those who seek to make mischief to accept that there’s nothing amiss.”

“Those” of course, refers to journalists just doing their job. Like the pair who, in the words of the Football Media Association, the peak body of journalists in Australia, were allegedly victimised because of “unfavourable comments and suggestions to news organisations and to FIFA… in light of their reporting and commentary of football matters”.

When the FMA tried to get a meeting with the FFA to voice its concerns and seek an explanation but was given the bum steer, one delegate from the aborted mission reported: “In 25 years I had not ever seen this level of disrespect for the most basic tenets of etiquette and corporate governance principles.”

Sorry, the “mischief making” response won’t wash, FFA.

There’s too much at stake and too many good people working within the Australian game for the future of the sport in the land Down Under to be at the mercy of an organisation that is not only incapable of balancing the books but doing so with complete transparency.

Having entrusted its most important competition to Australia, it’s time the AFC demanded not just improvement – but answers.

AFC, over to you.
