I could not get good sleep the past few days, I was restless even during the day, my mind was working over time, trying to figure out, ..... "who was the first person to come with the term Group of Death?"
From Wiki.
"The term was coined (in Spanish as el grupo de la muerte) by the Uruguay manager Omar Borrás at the 1986 FIFA World Cup to describe Group E, which included West Germany, Denmark, Scotland and Uruguay. This was the only group where all of its teams came from the traditionally strong regions of Europe and South America. The term is also used retroactively in historical contexts (i.e. for tournaments that precede 1986)."
Ah Omar, I should have known. Now I can sleep better.

A while back, me and my friend, Whitey as some call him, were talking about my recent events, and I was telling him about them, and told me " Now you will be Reckless and go Bananas". I did not pay attention at that time to what he said, but these last two months have shown that I have indeed become Reckless Sometimes it is not my fault, but its the cosmos doing its trick again.
On a side note, I have been in the same plane of existence as other bloggers without them knowing, can it be related to the Reckless-ness I have been going through? Then again summer time is Purgatorian circles epoch, so expect to be around me more often.
*watching music video * - crossing thought - Why is it that girls always dance together on the dance floor?
I am still half asleep after staying up and watching last night's game, which Man. Utd. won by luck. I would have perfered if both teams had lost, but that is not possible. However, although they are always lucky, Man. Utd. is a successful team, with the measure of success being their trophies and awards.
Today I was reading a document and the word success was mentioned in relation to a certain theme, which I know is really a failure, but that made me think of how humans seem to imagine success of things, while in reality they are failures, and how relative the word " success" is inturpetted in terms of our understanding of daily life.
Newspapers are full of success stories for people, companies, events, and more, but experts who know those people, or know the field or know the event, can really see through the cracks and determine that the information is bogus and without merit. Sometimes even an ordinary MAN can see the same (woman are blind, so out of equation).
We tend to enjoy positive words mentioned about our failures and enjoy praise for things we did not even contribute to. We see things as pink and orange, while they are black. We lie to ourselves, we betray our selves, we do it, because we cannot face the fact that we suck.
Yes, success is actually suck-cess, a global trend of turning negative things into positives. Famous suck-cessers include world leaders, leaders of industry, and even the common person (note women are included here). Civilizations have been built on suck-cessers spin of events, politics is a dirty game of suck-cessers, commerce is a dirty game of suck-cessers, what have we today that does not suck?
This century sucks. This decade sucks. People suck, we are all suck-cessers. Myself, you, that woman who refuses to draw my new icon (sucks big time) or that woman who keeps accusing me of flirting with any stone that moves (she is nice to me though, not like the icon lady). When will we get tired of sucking? When will we just say enough is enough, we have had it, you damn suck-cessers, get out and let us live our lives like angels?
Let us start today, I will shed away my suck-cessing tendencies, will you?
Remember Enigma? Well maybe you kids won't, but we do. Remember when they came with their special blend of music early in the 90s? Well Since then, I have not heard anything similar.
Today while watching Cold Case, for some reason, my curious brain cell picked the introduction theme music, and then I thought hmm SAW movies, then I searched online and this is what I found.
From Wiki:
" E.S. Posthumus is an independent music group that produces cinematic style music. It is a form of epic classical that fuses intertwined drum beats with orchestral and electronic sounds. Their music is inspired by the Pythagorean Philosophy which states that "music is the harmonization of opposites; the conciliation of warring elements". The E.S. is an acronym for "Experimental Sounds" while Posthumus is a word that represents "all things past". According to the group, E.S. Posthumus was formed in 2000 by brothers Helmut and Franz Vonlichten. Helmut and Franz studied piano with their mother. After graduating from high school, Franz worked in recording studios while Helmut attended and graduated from UCLA, with a degree in archaeology."
Among their hits is Nara (which is what is played on Cold Case) and Also the CBS NFL inrto. You can find more videos on youtube of the music blended on other images, but for those interested in hearing the sound of the Hummus, here are some examples and also an example of Enigma for the kids.
Nara
CBS NFL, my favorite phrase, one team, one (W)hole ;p
