The weird world of sports!

There are some unusual sports from around the world, like Cheese-rolling, Zorbing, Sepak Takraw and Bossaball.
Every year in May take place Cheese-rolling in England. It consist in follow a big local cheese, the competitors run down a very steep hill. A special guest launches the cheese and the first person who arrives at the bottom wins it! There are hundreds of spectators.

Zorbing is a new sport from New Zealand. Zorb is a big inflatable ball made of clear plastic, inside that there is a person and the ball rolls down the hill. It's very cool!
Sepak Takraw is a popular sport in Asia and it combines some sports like football, volleyball and gymnastics in one game. The players in a team are three and they are in opposite sides of a net. They can use all the parts of their body except hands or arms.
Bossaball is a musical sport and it's a combination of volleyball and trampolining. Players play on a inflatable net. Teams can use their hands, fetts and head and they jump on the trampoline. When the teams are playing there is the live music!

Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday

In November there are some festivities like Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday. Thanksgiving is a traditionally American holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It's a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. In this day the families and friends get together for a special meal that includes a turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, pumpkin pie and vegetables. Thanksgiving Day is a time for many people to give thanks for what they have. There are some parades in cities and towns on or around this day. This parades or festivities also mark the opening of Christmas shopping season. This is a long weekend of four-five days when schools and all commercial and work activities are closed. Black Friday is the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It isn't a federal holiday, but it's one of the major shopping days. It's called 'Black Friday' because black is the color that indicated a profit.
IT'S THE TIME OF SHOPPING! :) 
                  






I ♥ this song!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside 

How long how long will I slide 
Separate my side I don't 
I don't believe it's bad 
Slit my throat 
It's all I ever 

I heard your voice through a photograph 
I thought it up and brought up the past 
Once you know you can never go back 
I've got to take it on the otherside 

Centuries are what it meant to me 
A cemetery where I marry the sea 
Stranger things could never change my mind 
I've got to take it on the otherside 
Take it on the otherside 
Take it on 
Take it on 

How long how long will I slide 
Separate my side I don't 
I don't believe it's bad 
Slit my throat 
It's all I ever 

Pour my life into a paper cup 
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts 
She wants to know am I still a slut 
I've got to take it on the otherside 

A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed 
A candidate for a soul mate bled 
Push the trigger and i'll pull the thread 
I've got to take it on the otherside 
Take it on the otherside 
Take it on 
Take it on 

How long how long will I slide 
Separate my side I don't 
I don't believe it's bad 
Slit my throat 
It's all I ever 

Turn me on take me for a hard ride 
Burn me out leave me on the otherside 
I yell and tell it that 
It's not my friend 
I tear it down I tear it down 
And then it s born again 

How long how long will I slide 
Separate my side I don't 
I don't believe it's bad 
Slit my throat 
It's all I ever 

How long, I don't 
I don't believe it's bad 
Slit my throat 
It's all I ever
