Favrewell !!!

March 6th, 2008. Green Bay Packer veteran Quarterback and one of my most favorite player Brett Favre retired from NFL after playing for around 17 seasons.
When the news surfaced couple of days earlier, i really didnt believe it. After all he had one of the better seasons playing football as he took the packers to NFC championship game. There has been so much said about his retirement that i really dont have to add much.
I rate him as one of the top 5 quarterbacks in the history of NFL only based on his toughness, passion,improvisation skills and a knowledge of the game. His inability to win more than 1 super bowl and his interceptions definitely rule him out of the top 3, though one can argue that he hasn't played for a team thats abundant with talent.
He reminds me of the way Australians used to play cricket(not recently as they are lacking toughness..)...
after all, Green Bay Packers are green and yellow/gold isn't it???

You've gotta make your own kind of music...

After watching several seasons of the thriller drama "Lost" in the last few weeks, i have to admit that i have become a fan of the series. I have no idea why i never watched it in the first place till season 4...Perhaps there is a reason for everything (which is coincidentally one of the base theories in lost...)..it took my first ankle injury that i suffered in years of playing to get my attention towards lost...i was stuck at home not able to walk for a few days due to the injury and it was at this time (through my friend's attention) that i got my first exposure to lost and started watching it..luckily all of the initial seasons were available online free streaming with HD quality..so i didnt even had to move from my bed..ahha..how sweet that must have been..

If you do now know anything about lost, its a drama-thriller serial in abc. The story is about survivors of a plane crash that land in a mystery island (mystery bcos of the island's secrets...of which some are still unknown) and their survival. The story contains mixture of emotions, puzzles, math, mental games,killing, double crossing and humor apart from unique and entertaining individual characters. So easily it caters to a wide variety of audience including myself, who hates watching serials in general bcos of their longevity..but what is amazing in lost is that, every week you think this could be a solution, there will be an entire new twist, new questions and more confusion....as the seasons progressed, there are more questions than ever and its at a stage now where it has taken a complete new turn with the last 2 episodes taking us to the future, past and present.
I just cannot wait for the new episodes every week...However the final season is still 2 years away and i somehow have to be patient to know all the answers..

If you have never heard of this beautiful lost theme song, please do so here...

Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough going
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be going
I will understand
