Final Score from Stade Velodrome (Marseille, France)
UEFA Cup Semi Finals 2nd Leg;
Olympique Marseille 2
Didier Drogba (18th & 82nd)
Newcastle United 0
Olympique Marseille through to Final on 2-0 aggregate
n the season ends without a silverware, yet again. the dream run ends here.
we are cursed i tell ya. we had a 12 pt lead at the top of the table in 96 n eventually lost it to man utd. we went to two FA Cup finals in 98 n 99 n lost both.
im gonna start a new game in CM 03/04 and make newcastle so freaking successful than real madrid.
at least i can realize a dream through that.

"I'll Be There For You"
ring a bell? of cuz, the theme of our beloved F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. n it finally ends tomorrow. its bein so hyped up, i think ive watched 3 hrs worth of recaps n exclusives in the past 2 days. an hr of ET/VH1 yesterday and i juz finished watchin an 2 hr NBC Timeline exclusive. n its gonna b 3 hrs tomorrow, one a recap of everything, then the actual finale, then the cast goes live on Jay Leno. o n i juz found out there's another hour of recap on fri.
wow.
but seriously, its gonna b emotional thing. i might cry! ive been followin them for some time and hav become so engrossed in it for the past few yrs, i feel as though they're part of my close friends, much like how every fan feels.
80 million ppl r expected to watch the finale, n 30 sec window for advertisements go at a rate of US$2 million. imagine the amount of money earned juz from ads! it equals the most watched TV show, which is the NFL Super Bowl. tts how much this show has become. i mean, wit each of the six cast members earnin a cool million dollars per episode, that might not be much of a surprise.
but its really gonna b a day that's purely for friends, no one will care about anything else.
well, i will hav to worry bout one other thing. the UEFA Cup semi finals. i really hope Newcastle gets through.
we've seen a miracle these two days in seein tt monaco and porto made it to the champions league finals. who would hav expected that to happen? as for UEFA, its marseille/newcastle vs valencia for sure. villareal doesnt have the goods. besides, pablo aimar will b back. but who knows, we've seen it happen in champs lg, y not here?
n ive been listenin to this cool piece after some time. 1 Giant Leap feat Maxi Jazz and Robbie William's "My Culture." the video is so interesting.
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more, than he did
But he taught me, my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
To my sweet grandfathers face,
In his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture
n for me, its so true. i never met my paternal grandfather, since he passed away when my dad was even younger than i was. n its really coz of these two ppl tt i did not hav to go through poverty and hardship in a developing nation.

oh, i forgot to type this in yesterday, but alicia keys came on on-air with ryan seacrest yesterday and i found out that she actually had a chance to go to columbia university? its one of the 8 ivy leagues, before u ask. now, i know there r many unis named columbia so im not sure if its the ivy one, but the fact tt ryan seacrest mentioned in an astonishing manner should confirm the fact tt it is an ivy.
wow. but she gave it up to go to a music sch or somethin. o well, the 5 grammys prove tt it was the right decision.
cant really believe tt i actually listened to her when she was only 16 in the men in black soundtrack, before her big debut n all. she sounded lil different, but she still had tt soulful vibe to her. its one track i still listen to at night time to time.
oh, n did u also know tt keys was an avid swimmer? apparantly she's quite gd. she said tt if she couldnt make it as an artist, she would hav been training n preparin to get into the US Olympics team for 2008.
dammit, some ppl r juz too talented.

believe it or not, but i juz watched romeo n juliet, the leo n claire danes version. never got to watch it previously and never actually thought of it. gotta thank my bro, who wanted to watch it for his english class' sake. n i muz say, its pretty darn gd. once again, love the cinematography n the way the whole settin was set up. classical english in modern settin. now tts a genius idea. ive caught baz luhrman's movies before n i realized quite a lot of em r set in v diff ways, which is always a welcome in my eyes.
n i juz love the greogorian chants they play. better get some more enigma and era to listen to then.
oh, and a big shout out to marc! he juz called me n i think we talked for like 40 mins plus. its a great relief tt finally i can talk to a friend over the phone who's actually nearby and someone who knows wat i go through coz he goes through the same thin as well.
he seems to like vancouver quite a lot n im glad that he is. since he's in sch, there r things for him to do, so i guess he's pretty well occupied, which is gd for him.
man i juz cant wait for my term at ga tech to start!

ok the AI theme is big band. i dont really know wat tt is, but it seems its those pre-jazz/blues thing from the 40's. n i cant help but pity john stevens, coz in his bio, tts his fave type of music. n i think its bad tt they're havin big bangs right after the wk tt john stevens got voted off. i dunno if they chose the themes way before hand or decide every wk as they come, but it does seem a lil weird. i mean think abt it. first, its latin wk, where it was so obvious john stevens was gonna fail. n then suddenly a theme tt had john performed, he would definately have been secured to the final 4, coz its his field.
i wonder if there really is a conspiracy goin on within AI.
some say tt FOX ultimately has a say in who gets kicked off. so though we'll never now abt it, we might not b seein the true reflection of the votes. who knows, jennifer hudson's exit was FOX's decision. but we'll never know.

k im like jottin down snippets now..
did u guys know that diana degarmo was crowned miss teen georgia 2002?
well she certainly has the smile and the cuteness to prove it, but im wonderin how she won, since she's not exactly in the best of shapes. u would too agree that she's a lil... hmmm, chubby? baby fat? i dunno, but she looks gd enough anyway.
right now, i think AI is down to 2 contestants in my eye. diana degarmo or latoya london. i think jasmine n george will be the next to go. but eventually, latoya will pip diana. could b quite tight in the final votings.
ok, its scary to see the emergency alert siren goin off in the mornin n u see the fire truck right outside your house.
thank god they're juz here to fix the fire prevention system and the siren is for the required monthly test.

okay, for five freaking days, i was disconnected from the internet, coz there seemed to b a prob wit the SBC Yahoo server.
but finally im back.
n i gotta whole lotta stuff to do now tt im back online.
but anyway, gotta report the god damned scoreline.
Final Score from City of Manchester Stadium;
Manchester City 1
Paulo Wanchope (59th)
Newcastle United 0
sigh, wat can i say... this is juz so typical of newcastle for the past 6 yrs ive been supporting em. they always slip when it matters the most. but wit this loss, we hav effectively guarenteed a sad scenario where leeds united is condemned to the life of nationwide first division. that's very sad, but hey, even blackburn went down.
now its really up to the last day. unless newcastle slips again. which must not happen.
i guess UEFA Cup might be the only thing this season. or not.
more updates to follow as i finish off wat i should hav finished off last weekend...

o well, at least im gettin the licence before heading to atlanta.

okay findin out that your blog has been linked from someone, who ure not too familier with, is quite scary.
found out like 4 or 5 blogs where i was linked n i never knew. found out by accident while clickin around for good blogs. nah, the two blogs i still think is worth the read r TJ's and emily's. i hav no idea who they are, but they write superbly.
ok, so if i am being linked from ur blog and i hav no idea about it, do tell me. i guess its only right that i link you back in return. sometimes i cant help it, i mean you someone im not familer with n suddenly i find out im being linked.
katy rose's 'overdrive' is a very gd song. kinda found it while watchin the trailer for lindsay lohan's 'mean girls.'
i saw her album in a shop n supposedly she's one of the breakthrough artist of this yr. she has tt avril feel, but more rock than punk. n if wat they show in her video is true, then she is a ballerina as well as a drummer. how cool is that.
Yeah yeah... I'm independence...
Yeah yeah... I'm borderline...
Yeah yeah... I'm California...
My minds all screwed and upside down
But my hearts on overdrive
Yeah my hearts on overdrive
