deion speaking about sean taylor

some of you may have heard about the football player sean taylor being shot and dieing last week. he was a major topic of conversation in nfl last week and will continue to be for a least the rest of the season. i surfing the nets i found this video of deion sanders, my favorite player when i was a kid, talking about the feelings in the league and his own feelings.



i think deion really has an important point with stopping the black on black crime and that society needs to do something about it. i am not sure if the nfl network guy is dense or if it he is trying to get deion to talk - i do hope he is smarter than he sounds. another thing is, that i think deion brings some clearity to the issue of the vick scandal, his point being, people are more important than animals. i do agree with deions premise, but we as humans should never forget, that we have a great responsibility to show respect and protect to all of Gods creations.

snoops crazy

snoop dogg has always been eccentric, now he has made a video themed in the 70s. well made, even looks like they filmed it back then.



in other news italian players are going to be forced to show good sportsmanship (danish and english). i wonder if it should be necessary to make it a rule. it should actually just come naturally after game that you show respect to your opponents. anyways, dont forget to give some rice to people as you help your vocabulary grow (freerice.com).

det er marc!

no comment needed

enjoy this thoughtful poetry

getting my attention..

Sometimes there i question why i like the website FreeDarko, but when they do a post where they compare the characterization of players as either hard work/blue collar with lazy rich/bourgeois, there is really no reason for not loving them. they are awesome at finding different angles to sports than the ones that the usual sports writers find. anyone can write about some game, but finding actual themes in the sports writing on a macro level is really cool. so please dont hate on the intellectuals, instead enjoy their brilliance. read the post HERE


ps i am not going to say i understand all the concept brought to life on the blog, but i do enjoy reading it

black republican?

da jeg er utilfreds med resultatet fra valget i går er jeg gået videre til det amerikanske valg. jeg har fandt ved et tilfælde en test (link) på usa today. til min overraskelse er jeg vist blevet republikaner.

måske er jeg bare lidt anderledes end de fleste kandidater og har en anden opfattelse af hvad de forskellige spørgsmål betyder. dette har ingen indflydelse på min stemme. jeg håber at kunne støtte obama hvis han stiller op til præsident.

Cee-lo dropping some knowledge and Fallin'

jump forward to about where there is 3 mins left and enjoy his magnificent flow...

next song. a new favorite song from my favorite rapper:

links

I have decided to introduce a simple new feature on this blog, where I post links to thing i feel need to share with people. Basically its all the site I have enjoyed visiting since last time I posted a collection. Any way here comes the first installment:

FreeRice.com No its another site that tries to free a basketball player from the bench, to be able to unleash his potential. But its a site the gives 10 grains of rice to "hungry human beings" for every word you get correct. It seems legit, they will help the UN, through the sponsors on the site. So you can take a vocab quiz and give something to other people by knowing the words. So start giving HERE

(heard about it on the radio, but a hat-tip to afshin for the link)

Bahaullah.org

Ever wanted a site that explain the life of Bahá'u'lláh through pictures. Well here it is. The Bahá'í World News Service describes it like this: "Rather than providing a comprehensive history or literary presentation of the Baha'i Faith, the new Web site aims rather to be impressionistic" So enjoy the presentation HERE

Musik Nu! and Angora By Night A good radio program about music - in danish. Who recommend new music and try keep people up on the newest music. I was fully enthralled last time I listened to it. Especially the interview they had with the singer from Bloc Party. So either listen to it online or as a podcast. Website HERE

While I'm recommending danish stuff, there is the danish satire show Angora By Night. Great for laughs, but sometimes a little too much. You can view all their shows HERE


This pretty much concludes the first batch, I hope to post more links regularly.

Before I end I just want to give a link to a great resource if you need to look thing up on the nets: schoolr.com. Another link is to a review of the new Jay-Z CD, holla! (link)

Enjoy

valg plakat

Jeg har lavet min egen valg plakat. Håber den kan bruges af liste Y. Naser, holla at ya boy!

the 'ye on youtube

here are some vids of my man kanye on youtube:

good life - one of my faves from the new cd:



and him recently on snl - gotta love the freestyle at the end:



story behind the first video: last year at the european music awards, kanye got on the scene and made a fool of himself cause he lost to justice with the video for their song d.a.n.c.e.. i guess he saw the video (link) and decided to get the directors of the video to make cool video for him.

bahais in iran

the cradle of the bahai faith - iran - has been persecuting the bahais since the inception of the faith. in the recent years there as been an increased discrimination of the bahais. on of the many act of discrimination includes expelling bahai students from the universities (and even denying them admittance) based solely upon them being bahais. other act of persecution include the destruction of grave sites, harassment and detainment of bahais, and attacks upon the bahais through the media. this is a grave issue and i hope that anyone who has the opportunity will help stop this and the many injustices which are happening to the bahais of iran.

thanks

links that are worth noting:

new fav song

yesterday i was surfing the internets and i was alerted to the song "crank dat". i think it was pretty popular in the us this summer. but being a european we get everything a little late. so i heard the song, downloaded it within few minutes and the songs has now has become my ringtone. the sound of "yoooouuuuuuuuu" cracks me up everytime my phone rings.



and here is a link for instructions to the dance (l.i.n.k.)

now i am gonna back to doing the superman...

cassette?

i saw a link about this amazingly old school mp3 player, its pretty simple: 1. insert sd card w. music on it. 2a. plug headphones in and jam, or 2.b put it in cassette player and jam.


i would invest in one if i had a cassette player or knew someone who owned one. i might actually have to get one. you can get your cassette to play kanyes newest hits on here (link)

enjoy


thanks to formatmag for making me aware of this

great way to make graffiti

Check this:



dude does clean graffitti. pretty well done.

is the blog still alive?

after a longer hiatus i am back. i'll give a short recap of my life for those who actually read this and havent talked to me for a while. as always in bullet form with some pictures.

i managed to get around this summer. i am pretty proud of my efforts. i am also happy for every one of you that i saw.

• first i hit up norway - saw the sunnivator and her amazing family. her family is really hospitable always worth a visit, sunniva is pretty nice too. i brought my brother (alx) a long, he is a norway lover - he is probably going to study there.
  

• second was some small country (which is the whipping boy of group f in euro quals.), liechtenstein. seeing as we (dad, alx and i) drove from denland to italy, we needed to stay somewhere on the way. bettina was nice enough to show the whole country. it is a pretty cool sight, definately worth a visit. bettinas family is pretty nice too.

• i would like to make this statement: i love italy. this is despite all the obvious faults the italians have - which actually is a part of the amazing charm of this country. my italian is horrible, i understand a few words and people understand a few of my words. saw some bahais, all were late - meaning i had to stand and look pretty lost in both siena and bologna. they have nice train stations. thanks.
  
• my family and friends of the family showed up from all over the western hemisphere to celebrate my parents collective 100th birthday for a week. which was awesome.

• lastly i managed to go home to greenland and see the mountains and enjoy the rain. when it doesnt rain nuuk is one of the most amazing cities and everything comes alive. people everywhere smiling and enjoying it. i also managed to become quite proficient at playing wii golf and tennis. might have to invest in one of those...
  

i would recommend that everyone who likes rap, to listen to kanye's new cd "graduation". good cd, still trying to find a favorite song on there and decipher the lyrics. but i like "good morning", "good life" "homecoming" and "the glory". i am not keen on the song with mos def "drunk & hot girls" and "stronger" lives on the strength of the sample from daft punk (everyone who has slept on daft punk's "discovery" should listen to that cd immidiately)


in other news i am still in århus studying political science. i have heard this will be a hard semester, we have 3 courses: 2 mandatory, policy analysis and public management. and i am taking a course about cost-benefit analysis as a scientific phenomenon (we will be reading a book called "global crisis, global solutions"). the last course will be interesting, the first course is ok too. public management is not that interesting. at least i will be able to prioritize between global issues when i am done with this semester.

thats all for now.

good songs on youtube

i am a lover of good rap, which is especially the roots, mos def, talib kweli, common, a tribe called quest and nas. you have to love kanye for his producing skills, eventhough you sometimes are in doubt if he actually has morals. but anyway, please enjoy these videos:

1:Song produced by DJ Premier, with rappers Rakim, Kanye, Nas and KRS-One on the mic. it is a song made for the 25th anniversary of air force ones. gotta love the Nas and KRS-One verses, plus DJ Premier producing the track.



2:Common - the light. one of the best rap love songs... i hope that more people make songs like this...



3: Well here is another one, almost as good. Roots with Erykah Badu and Eve - you got me...



4: nas - it aint hard to tell...




5: Mos Def and Talib Kweli - definition



6: Mos Def and Talib Kweli - whats beef? on Dave Chapelles Show




I hope you enjoy just a few of these songs - i enjoyed finding them... peace

everything texas and a few other things…

How do you describe a 2-week escape from school? Well, I would say pretty nice! I just went to the states, where I was in Texas, Tampa and Chicago. I managed to see more people than I imagined.

When I was 14-16 I lived with my aunt (Tia) Grace, my uncle Mark and my two cousins (Amanda and Curtis); while I was going to high school there. It was a learning experience and but I had way too much homework and too little spare time. The real reason that I decided I needed to go the states, was that I hadn’t seen my family for almost 3 years and I feared it would be even longer if I didn’t do something about it. SO, I went there. My cousins are awesome and they have grown into such cool kids. I wish that I could be there with them as they grow even more. My Danish cousin Natascha is staying with my American side for a year, it seems to be a great family tradition. Enough mindless writing about my family, here is a list of the best parts of my whole trip (in no specific order):

• Seeing the cousins and then making sure they wouldn’t miss me by teasing them as much as possible.
• Chaperoning Curtis’ class to the Texas capitol building (fun fact about the Texas capitol: it is larger than the national capitol and equipped with a goddess (not statue) of liberty – I guess everything is bigger in texas)
• Listening to “Screw You, We’re From Texas” by Ray Wylie Hubbard on the radio, on Texas Independence Day (march 2^nd) (Link to someone using the chorus in a clip)
  
• Spending time with Stefani in Florida and meeting her family and dog.
• Waiting for Jared who was two days delayed in coming to Texas – only to have him experience the worst weather Texas has experienced all year, when there had been 82 degrees the two days before he arrived. (Jared would probably say that Texas is the most self-loving state in the USA, based on the fact that the amount of Texan flags dwarfing the amount of American flags. Well screw you we’re from texas!)
• Seeing Chicago, a pretty nice town – I was in awe of the tall buildings (including the Sears Tower).
• Seeing my Uncle Mark with long hair… and spending quality time with him.
• Wearing shorts for almost a week straight and not freezing while doing so.
• Spending a day with Abuelita (my grandmother) in San Antonio.
• Calling Omeed on skype with Jared – even though he barely could hear us – it was exactly like old times. All we needed was to conference the White Man (Bendershot) and Sam in.
• Sleeping the day away to be able to have second dinner, since I skipped lunch because of the fast.
• Spending time in the airports of Copenhagen, Stockholm, Chicago, Tampa, Memphis, St. Louis, Atlanta and Austin… Especially Austin because of the loud country music.
• Eating: Brisket, Mexican food, a polish, fried chicken, Chicago style pizza, Chinese, sonics, shamrock shakes and all the other great American foods I managed to have while I was in the USA.
• Seeing Joey Lample and Jared’s sister Sabrina again and meeting some other Bahá'ís who I hope to see again.
• Driving in Texas and Florida – especially the wide Texan roads, everything is bigger and better in Texas.
• Seeing Tia, she is like a second mother to me. Enough said!

This is in no way a wholesome description of my trip, but it will have to suffice.

her er hvad man eksempelvis kan bruge statskundkab til

Jeg bruger forholdvis meget tid på at surfe internettet, jeg læser næsten altid bloggen FreeDarko - som handler om basketball. Den er næsten altid interessant og den har et spændende perspektiv på basket (en stor fokus på stil).



Hver eneste gang jeg fortæller en person jeg læser statskundskab, får jeg det samme spørgsmål: hvad kan man så bruge det til? Svaret skal blandt andet findes i FreeDarko. FreeDarko gør opmærksom på bogen "Wage of Wins" og de konklusioner som den kommer frem til. FreeDarko og bogen bruger ting jeg har lært i 3 af mine fag. Det er økonomi, metode (nogen ville kalde det statistik) og idéhistorie/videnskabsteori. WoW (skal ikke forvirres med World of Warcraft) undersøger det statistiske sammenhæng mellem hvor produktive spillere er - i forhold til et produktivitetsmål de har lavet - og deres løn. I opsum, finder de at højst betalte spillere er dem der skyder mest - ikke altid de mest produktive.

Jeg synes at det er en interessant måde, at bruge både statistisk og økonomi i forhold til en sportsgren. Det vil jeg muligvis kunne gøre om et par år - det vil jeg ikke udelukke.



Nårhh, jeg håber I får lyst til at undersøge FreeDarkos artikel nærmere for at se hvordan de ser på WoW. Jeg forholder mig neutral indtil jeg har læst bogen.
