Yoann vs. Johan

I had nothing better to do, so I decided to watch the England/France U21 game. I was half paying attention (and that's giving myself A LOT of credit) when I noticed the France keeper had some mighty potential to be a hottie. I did some research and I came to the conclusion that Johann Carrasso is good looking, but not hot. I showed him to Vanilla Bear who hastily approved and claimed him for her own. She then made the bold comment that Johan was in fact hotter than Yoann "Lashes/NSFW" Gourcuff. This was blasphemous and I will not let the comment stand without scientific evidence and by that, I mean an opinion poll!

Here are some basics;
Yoann Gourcuff is 22 years old. He currently is on loan at Bordeaux but is owned by AC Milan. He is an attacking midfielder and stands 6'1". He was born in Ploemeur, France and has a thightastic Wikipedia picture.

Johan Carrasso is soon to be 21 years old. He plays in France for Montpellier as a goal keeper. He is 6'2". He has an official website, but a lot of it is still under construction.

Anyways- Here are some pics. You can decide for yourself. Who is officially more delicious?

Johan Carasso

Yoann "Lashes" Gourcuff

A day in the life

I'm not feeling particularly inspired with blogging lately so I thought I would just do a recap of my day yesterday.

• I woke up at about 8:00 am and played Fishdom for about 2 hours until I beat it.
• I then got online and ended up watching 11 footie games, either wholly or partially for about hours. I LOVE INTERNATIONALS so much and I couldn't resist watching as many as possible. I watched; Wales/Finland, Russia/Azerbaijan, Israel/Greece, England/Slovakia, Germany/Liechtenstein, Spain/Turkey, Italy/Montenegro, Netherlands/Scotland, Argentina/Venezuela, Mexico/Costa Rica and USA/El Salvador.
  
• Imbetween all of the games, I decided to drink about a pot of coffee and got a major major caffeine high and then came down and that was not fun at all.
  
• Then I watched Jazz take on Phoenix. This was one of the most bizzare/ridiculous/dumb/frusterating.... games in forever. The refs were so dumb. After the Jazz had won 103-99 they decided that they needed to add anther 0.3 of a second to the clock and make them play it which was pointless, but it let the Jazz actually end up winning 104-99 so meh. It's kind of sad though as it's pretty much assured the Suns won't be in the finals, but such is life. Jazz for the win.
• I then decided to organize my iTunes library which is still a bit jumbled.
• At about 11:00pm it was bed time for me. Overall a pretty productive day... Anyways- here are some things from the games I watched that I feel the need to point out-

~Utah pwned the Suns. I'm just happy about it~The Engerland National team kits are horrible. I know it's supposed to be like some throwback to 1966 or whatever, but it just seems they were lazy to me. Seriously, no thought went into this "design." It's like, hmm, well- I want to go home, let's just stitch a three lions logo onto this polo shirt and call it a day.
~The Russia kits, I don't even know what to say. I kind of like them, but the zipper collar is throwning me off.
~Papa Kun and bebe Aguero! I'm not one to swoon over babies, so I'm not going to. I just think this is a great pic.Uefa and time zones decided to confuse me and sadly I missed pretty much all of the Italy game :( Two very strange things occured during this game though, that I feel is important to point out; 1) Canna got carded! I didn't see it and I dont' know what he did, but he got a card. To bad he couldn't flirt his way out of it, I love it when he does that. 2) At the end of the game, Canna did NOT remove his shirt. I was shocked. He always strips at like every possible opportunity. I didn't even know what to do- I felt kind of bad though because he left the pitch looking all disappointed, but I dont' know why since Italy won?
~I was streaming the Argentina/Venezuela game and this ad was above it the whole time and for like the first 20 minutes it was hilarious, but it kept moving and by the end it was really pissing me off!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

In honor of St. Patrick and the day we celebrate him, Caramel Bear Speaks has gone green! (This is of course only a temporary change) Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

Jugador de la Semana

I don't feel like writing too much on this at the moment, but here is my post. Congrats to Jurado for a great game. Canna was out injured. I don't even know what's going on with Heitinga, he didn't seem too bad when I was watching the game live. Down With Pep- I'm glad Bojan finally got a start, but at the expense of Henry (was worth it though ;))

More than a Bowie look alike

Chocolate Bear made the observation.
That is all.

The moments when you really need cake

For The Bears just because they are so amazing! A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cake-
The cake you will see at Messi's wedding (minus the birthday sentiment of course)-

Jugador de la Semana

Barkero however is el Jugador de la Semana! He scored the match winning goal, had one assist and had one shot on target. He also had 3 successful crosses and 2 corners won. Well done Jose!

Runer up is of course Javier Camunas. He scored a goal and had 3 shots on target. Very sucessful and it's making me very happy.

I don't know what is going on with Heitinga, he played- why no puntos?

I was raised on the (Sesame) street!

I found these online. They are freaking amazing. They are made of duct tape. The best duct tape wallets ever! I really want to buy one, but I can't decided between Elmo or the Cookie Monster. Whilst Elmo is my favorite, the cookie monster one is really cool! Anyways, I shall eventually make up my mind and place my order. Until then, I will continue using my Hello Kitty wallet!

You can purchase them here.

Once again vindicated by science

A study was done with SAT scores and teenagers favorite music. It turns out that all the times I harassed Semisi and told him he listened to stupid music, that I was right. Science is awesome and it once again proves that I listen to at least smarter music than the average. I had a conversation with Sarah once about smart music and I guess this is what we meant, now I know.

Apparently, Lil Wayne fans are amongst the dumbest people around, but I didn't necessarily need a study to make me aware of this. I guess it's important to remember that this is a study of correlation and not causation, but all the same. The "dumbest" bands I listen to would be The All American Rejects and Fall Out Boy I suppose, but for the most part, I listen to pretty smart music.

Take a look for yourself and see how you rate. I took the chart and highlighted all of the artists currently in my iTunes library. The farther left they are, the lower the people who liked them scored on their SAT's.

The chart highlighted with the artists I listen to. (click here for the unvandalized version) You have to click it to embiggen it and make it not so blurry.

Paolo picspam

I've had a downer of a week and decided to surf the web and came across a mecca of pics for Paolo De Ceglie. I had a lot of issues finding proper pictures of him before, but this Italian forum had a ton so I decided to share with you some of my favorites that I found.

(it's called a bra lady)

I also found some really good pics of him when he was a bit younger with the Juve youth level teams. These are great because they also include his teammates of Claudio Marchisio and Sebastien Giovinco.

Jugador de la Semana

Jugador de la Semana this week goes to none other than King Titi! He wins on so many levels right now. He scored two goals, had 1 assist, 3 shots on target, 1 corner won and 1 foul won and yet Barca still managed to lose! This is really the attitude of a team player. This one is for you Thierry Henry and even when you are massive win it still means massive lose for Barcelona. I am indebted to you good sir.

The runner up would definitely be Canna. I know Rossi had an assist and shot on target and Camunas was amazing with goal and assist, but Canna reached a new personal best! He got an amazing 7 puntos. This definitely makes up for the 0 he recieved last week and he is back to being my rock. He kept 1 clean sheet had 1 tackle won and 1 blocked shot. Yay!

As for Heitinga, he finally returned and yet with negative puntos. I can't be too angry with him though seeing as he had a completely valid goal disallowed and -2.5 puntos is a whole lot considering he got booked.

I got a total of 71 puntos which keeps me in a clear 1st place, 124 puntos ahead of the next contender. I am also ranked +91 and in the top 4% of the group "Real Madrid Supporters." #1,311 of 3,2803. :D
