Lebron Just Touched Down in Miami…

This is just nuts that there is this much hype around LeBron. I'm going on the record now. If the Lakers make one good trade and get ride of Lamar and try and get solid player in the inside to team up with Pau and Bynum... Miami stands not chance of beating the Lakers...

Robinho's 'Write The Future' Nike Commercial.

Nike has added the Robinho edition to their Write the Future commercial campaign. Guess they had to do that as Ronaldinho was featured in the original but not picked by Dunga for the 2010 squad.

Anyways, well done Nike.

Father's Day In Beverly Hills, CA USA

This past Father's Day was my first as a father, and I was blessed to spend it with my girlfriend and my son. Here are some pics from this past weekend. Our family enjoyed a lovely brunch at the Four Seasons, watched Brazil play in the World Cup, and enjoyed a fantastic bottle of 1998 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame.

GAME TIME!!!

It was almost four years of preparation and dozens of player tryouts. Winning two titles and having the best campaign in the elimination phase guaranteed Brazil's position as the only country on the planet to play in every world championship.

Nelson Mandela Esquire May 2010

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

By. William Ernest Henley
