PROTEST SONG ''Drug Dealer - Macklemore (Feat. Ariana Deboo)

Oooh 
Oooh 
Oooh 
Oooh, oooh, oooh 

They said it wasn't a gateway drug 
My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up 
The whole while, these billionaires, they kicked up 
Paying out congress so we take their drugs 
Murderers who will never face the judge 
And we dancin' to a song about our face goin' numb 
But I seen homies turn grey, noses draining blood 
I could've been gone, out 30's, faded in that tub 
That's Prince, Michael and Whitney, that's Amy, Ledger and Pimp C 

That's Yams, that's DJ A.M 
God damn they're making a killing 
Now it's getting attention cause Sara, Katey and Billy 
But this shit's been going one from Seattle out to South Philly 
It just moved out about the city 
And spread out to the 'burbs 
Now it's everybody's problem, got a nation on the verge 
Take Activis off the market, jack the price up on the syrup 
But Purdue farmer's 'bout to move that work.

My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor 
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma 
He said he'd heal me, heal me 
But he only gave me problems, problems 
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor 
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma 
I think he tryin' kill me, kill me 
He tried to kill me for a dollar, for a dollar 

And these devil's they keep on talkin' to me 
They screamin' "open the bottle," I wanna be at peace 
My hand is gripping that throttle, I'm running out of speed 
Tryin' close my eyes but I keep sweatin' through these sheets, through these sheets 
Four horseman, they won't let me forget 
I wanna forge a prescription, cause doctor I need some more of it 
When Morphine and heroine is more viewer budget 
I said I'd never use a needle, but sure, fuck it 
I'm caught up, I'm on one, I'm nauseous 
No options, exhausted 
This is not what I started 
Walkin' carcass, I lost everything I wanted 
My blinds drawn, too far gone to leave this apartment 

Death certificate signed the prenup 
Ain't no coming back from this percocet 
After this ambien, adderral, xanax binge 
Best friends with the thing that's killing me 
Enemies with my best friend, there's no healing me 
Refilling these, refilling these 
They say it's death, death 
Institutions and DOC's 
So God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change 
Courage to change the things I can 
And the wisdom to know the difference 
And the wisdom to know the difference 


I chose this song because the title has caught my attention. His intentions are very clears.

Macklemore talks about substance abuse, touching on the drug- or alcohol- related deaths of celebrities like Prince, Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse; and the politicial pull of pharmaceutical companies.

RITES OF PASSAGE

FOOTBALL

I am a fanatic of sports, especially football. I play it from age 5.
The first year I played in Empuriabrava, but the next season we decided to change all to Esplais.
Football is a sport where they learn many things, for example: Respect; good relationship with colleagues, coaches, rivals...; agreement; etc.
Thanks to this wonderful sport that I love so much, I have many people who are very important to me now.
Now I am playing with the ''juvenils'' (1998, 1999 and 2000). And also I train a boys (2005).
I am very follower of Real Madrid C.F (THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD) and the National Team of Morocco.
Obviously the dream of anyone who likes football is to become professional. ;)

MY SUMMER

Summer is the best season of the year, there is no school, it is not cold, we have free time...
Every summer I went to Morocco, my country of origin. This has been different, I worked all the summer in a four-star hotel in Castelló d'Empúries. I have not went much to the beach because I had a day schedule.
But the truth is that I have had a great time at work with because I have met many young people like me and I have improved my English and French. And also I had money. 
That if, every night I went out with my friends to drink something.
To conclude, has been a good summer.

Tracy Chapman - Talkin' Bout a Revolution

Don't you know
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Tracy Chapman is talking about a revolution in this song.

I chose this song because it was the best I understood of the three.

Tracy Chapman is talking about a revolution, the armies and the poor people.

ONE OF MY IDOLS: BADR HARI

Badr Hari, born in 8 December 1984, is a Moroccan-Dutch super heavyweight kickboxer from Amsterdam. Has a wide range of titles. The most important are: Showtime Heavyweight world champion (2009-2010) and K-1 World Grand Prix 2009 finalist.

Badr has been a prominent figure in the world of kickboxing and is considered one of the best kickboxer in the world, for my THE BEST.
He has disputed 118 combats, which 106 has won, from them 98 with KO.
He has only lost 12. Really amazing. His nickname is ''The Golden Boy''.

One of the reasons why I like it is that he refused to represent the Netherland because he preferred Morocco. Has been officially praised by the King, Mohammed VI, since 2009 for his outstanding accomplishments in the sport.

MOISE KEAN MAKES HISTORY

http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37972460

SUMMARY
Moise Bioty Kean became the first player born in 2000 to play in Europe's top four leagues (Liga Santander, Spain; Bundesliga, Germany; Premier League, England and Serie A, Italy).

Is an Italian footballer, originally from Ivory Coast.
He plays as a striker and his current team is Juventus of Turin in the Serie A of Italy and also with the Under-17 Italy national team.

Yesterday, 19/11/16, he replaced the Croatian goalscorer Mario Mandzukic with six minutes left, and winning 3-0 against Pescara.

There are other players born around the turn of the millennium...
Vincent Thill, the first player born in 2000 to play in France's Ligue 1.
Jack Aitchison, also born in 2000, the first player to play in Scottish League with Celtic and he scored on his debut.

MY OPINION
I think that these professional players that they have my age, they can not miss this opportunity and they have to work hard to get minutes.

THE CURSE OF AARON RAMSEY

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/weird-news/487645/curse-aaron-ramsey-alan-rickman-david-bowie-celebrity-deaths

SUMMARY
Aaron James Ramsey is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Arsenal and the Wales national team.

Since 2011, Ramsey has been associated with a mythical curse called ''the Ramsey effect'', meaning that almost every time he scores a goal, someone famous dies within days.

His first ''victim'' was Osama Bin Laden, who was killed on 2 May 2011, the day after Ramsey scored.

And the same has happened with famous such as Steve Jobs (Apple co-founder), Muammar Gaddafi (Libyan leader), Whitney Houston (American singer)...

The latest ''victims'' have been David Bowie on 10 January 2016, and Alan Rickman on 14 January 2016.

MY OPINION
I think that is a ridiculous rumour. Is pure coincidence.
There have been loads of occasions where he socre a goal and somebody has died.

UNITED STATES ELECTION SPECIAL

HILLARY CLINTON

Positive aspects:
One of the pros of Hillary Clinton to be a president of the United States of America is that she's qualified. For example:

• Graduated with honors from Yale Law School before completing another year of graduate studies.
• Worked on Presidential campaings of Barry Goldwater (1964), George McGovern (1972) and Jimmy Carter (1976).
• 8 years as First Lady of the United States.
• Served as US Senator from New York.
• Served as US Secretary of State.

Negative aspects:

• Baggage of scandals. Regardless of how many are justified, there is going to be some buzz about her. There have been scandals around her since the 90s, even though nothing really got anywhere.
• Not an open door person. The main purpose of the privat email server was to keep communication inhouse. YES, it was done before, yes, she admits it is a mistake, but ultimately I think the desire to keep things internal is what caused it.

DONALD TRUMP

If you want a big change and you are willing to take a big risk.

Positive aspects:

• Established businessman. This should make him financially independent, able to manage a large organization and aware of financial issues.
• Independent from the traditional party structures. If you do not want the stereotypical RNC candidate, this is it.

Negative aspects:

• Scandals: Various scandals related to his business practices, and some regarding possible corruption.
• He's a fascist and racist.
• He's delusional. The birth certificate thing. Trouble man.
• Unpopular abroad. Most US allies are not found od Trump. Most neutral countries may know hm as a businessman, but may not take him seriously as a politican.
• Abrasive: He is strongly disliked by minorities or other opposed groups. This may hamstring his ability to enact policies.
• Etc, etc.

ELECTION RESULTS

Donald John Trump will be the 45th president of the United States, having bested Hillary Clinton in what can be considered the biggest upset in American political history.

He will finish with a grand total of a least 305 electoral votes, and with 90 percent of all precincts reporting nationwide.
