I am watching the Tour de France on TV. The competitive bicyclists at the tour are probably the most durable endurance athletes of any sport. For over a month, these men will pedal bikes for 3 - 4hrs at high speeds nearly everyday with only approx. 3 days rest during the month. Tomorrow - they begin to race through the mountain roads of the Alps. Lance Armstrong - who has won this tour several times and without any more to prove - is racing once again….

I get tired just watching them race.
TUs all around — Poor Lance Armstrong has another day of falls bec of traffic…The guy would be the "SC" among these riders & is still in the top 20 despite the series of accidents since last Monday…at least they all get a rest day on Monday.

We all know Juv and acm cheat and dive and they bribe ref or pay to get favourable ref.

Italian Cyclists cheat as well - "IItalian cyclist Ivan Basso has been suspended by his Discovery Channel team because of a reopened Italian Olympic Committee probe into the rider’s involvement with the Operation Puerto blood doping ring. The punishment means Basso probably won’t enter this year’s Giro d’Italia and Tour de France. "

You think Italians only cheat in competitive sports? WRONG.

Italians also conduct fraudulant performance.
"" Even Pavarotti’s longtime manager has said the Italian tenor has occasionally lip-sync’d when his lungs are tired. ""

Its official - Italians are synonymous with cheaters.

I heard from the local small town paper rumormill, about Kelly Clarkson new album, here is the scoop

Kelly Clarkson

10. Wicked
11. Kiss The Boy

Kelly says it is a country album with pop influence
she said it’s alot better then my december.

Rumor has it first
single is kiss the boy

Kiss the Boy is kinda of like a more upversion of bubbly

here is what bobby jindal had to say about the album
With a new team in place (including manager Narvel Blackstock, Reba McEntire’s husband) and the drama of My December behind her, Clarkson exuded nothing but confidence in the studio, Dr. Luke says. "It’s sick. She sings a song in two hours and kills it. You’re just, like, ‘holy s—.’ She has powerful lungs. She’s like the Lance Armstrong of vocal chords.& duuuuh

I’ve come to like this Greek song called Epetios (Epethios) by Mixalis Xatzigiannis but I just have no idea what the lyrics say. Could you possibly translate the lyrics for me? or at least tell me the gist of the song, please?

Here’s a link to the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upyJ20Dtu5Y&feature=related

And also, here are the lyrics of the song written in the Roman alphabet:

Den mporo tin epetio, ton kosmo giro, ta pota
Afto to telio tipota me tus dio mas ankalia
Den mporo to horo mas, kleftes maties ston urano
Tin anasa su sto soma, ta heria giro ap’ to lemo

Den mporo na giortaso, ute ke na lipitho
Den mporo pao paso, tetia mera den mporo
Kathe ora pu pernai se diagrafo, kathe ora prospatho
Ma erhete pali etuti i mera ki ap’ ti zoi mu se zito

Den mporo na giortaso, ute ke na lipitho
Den mporo pao paso, tetia mera den mporo
Tetia mera Thee mu s’ agapo
Tetia mera Thee mu s’ agapo

Den mporo na thimame, mia skia na nostalgo
Pos thes st’ asteria na ‘me otan esi den ise edo
Den mporo to horo mas, kleftes maties ston urano
Tin anasa su sto soma mu, ta heria giro ap’ to lemo

Den mporo na giortaso, ute ke na lipitho
Den mporo pao paso, tetia mera den mporo
Kathe ora pu pernai se diagrafo, kathe ora prospatho
Ma erhete pali etuti i mera ki ap’ ti zoi mu se zito

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
