ronaldo

sweet jesus of nazareth, these fridays are coming round fast. i have been here at this place now for 4 months which was as long as i was at my last investment bank. the 4 months there were so painful at the time, and now its all just a distant memory.

i went to get my usual lamb and rice, friday lunch just now and on my way back i saw ryan secrest who is the host of american idol. how random is that?. haven't seen a famous person in ages. the best one is still elle macpherson in the restaurant in new york.

anyways, the big news this week has been real madrid buying kaka and ronaldo. that is incredible. the other good thing about all this is man utd losing ronaldo. he is 24 and arguably the best player in the world and he won the european cup and the league title for man united, and without him they will be a weaker team. would love to see the smile wiped off their smug faces when they are drawing away to bolton in the league. there is no way he can be replaced. how do you replace the best player in the world?. how do you replace someone who scored 42 goals a couple of seasons ago?. they said he was not as good this season just gone but he was still man utds top scorer by a mile. you can't replace talent like that. you just can't. hopefully this is the start of a shift of power and arsenal can rise up once again.

what an awesome goal in the semi finals of the european cup. he doesn't celebrate but all his team mates make sure they come to congratulate him. they have to, because its goals like that, that paid for their ferraris and big houses. his team mates know they would be so much less successful and rich with out him. i suspect they will all be worried now. there is no one to bail them out with 40 yard missiles like that goal, any longer.

anyways, nothing major planned for this weekend. will just go to the gym as usual. i think i might cycle.....oh hang on!, i just remembered, some shithead stole my bike.

today i have mostly been listening to filter - take a picture.

UPDATE: the MD of the internet company i used to work for got fired today. i got on with him ok, but he could be a bit awkward at times and i never understood why he let idiot-techboss get away with all the shit he used to pull. anyways, they have installed a brand new MD who is from outside the company. maybe they will come in and assess everyone and everything and see that idiot-techboss is a lazy bullshitter who is sucking the company dry with his salary and perks and benefits, but not actually doing any work.
