Palmeiras' Flaw


10 rounds ago in the Brazilian football league(Brasileirão), it seemed impossible Palmeiras would not be chmapion. Palmeiras had points ahead of the second place and even more from the rest. However, in the last eight matches, Palmeiras only won one, losing and tying the rest. It is quite embarassing for the fans because we were pratically celebrating a title we don't celebrate since 1994. Now, Sao Paulo is ahead with 3 points(one victory) and there are only 3 rounds to go before the end of the championship. I am really dissapointed because the team could've at least won 3 more games from the last 8 mathces. Since the team showed a dissapointing effort in the last amtches, we have to count with the results from other teams and win all future mathes without excuses, including Gremio( a strong team) at the Olimpico( their stadium/home).

I am really sad because I am a big fan and I was hoping the team could win this year. I beleive Palmeiras' flaw is the lack consistency found in our players and the team as well. The good players can only play well some matches and the team could not even remain leader with the help of the five leading points. It is sad....

Family Guy Character of the Week: Quagmire


Glen Quagmire is a secondary character of Family Guy which brings in a a different type of humor. He could be easily described as a player/ womanizer because most of the type he is playing around with a woman. The series takes advantage of his "hyper sexuality" to make jokes out of the routine. Most of his jokes feature his wanton and deviant sexual behavior whihc could not be explored by another charcter but him. When Glen is sexually aroused, he usually uses his catchphrase: "giggity giggity goo" (sometimes shortened to simply "giggity" or slowing it down, replacing "goo" with "gi-ggi-ty").


During the series he finds him self in akward and embarrising situations which he is mostly not ashamed of. One of them include his passion for Louis( Peter's wive). Whenever she has a fight with Peter, he asks if she is available. HE also steals some of her personal objects such as toothbrush and hair brush to put the in a sex doll he has.ANother one is when he has sex with his freind's(Cleveland) wife. I consider him funny because of his jokes and his good humor most of the time.

Good book to read: The Archer's Tale by Bernard Cornwell


The book, The Archer's Tale is the first novel from the trilogy of the Grail Series. The triology was wirtten by Bernard Cornwell, one of the best writers alive in my opinion, and it portrays the life of a skilled English archer called Thomas of Hookton(Thomas Vexille he later finds out). The story takes place in Europe( basically Britain, France and Normandy) during the mid 14th century, or, the 100 Years War between France and England. After the raid over his peaceful village of Hookton and the assasination of his father, Thomas makes a promise to pursue the assasin, which is known as Harlequin(devil warrior) and turns out to be his cousin. By making this promise, Thomas embarks on a quest that makes of him a great archer of the English army and an explorer of the holy grail. It is an extremely interesting book and even though it posseses some fiction it still teaches a lot about history including a deep description of the english archers. I strongly reccommmend any one reading this post to buy this book and read it because you will learn quite a lot about this century as well as having a fun leasure time reading it.
