My full time werk is keeping me away from here. I’ll try to post something when I can.
Today’s post needs your involvement:

The gossip/paparrazi website TMZ.com has Derek and Skeletor on their radar since they moved to La La Land, but recently Mr C.Ronaldo went over to L.A for a holiday and this caught TMZ’s attention and they were less than complimentary…

Honestly when you have nearly all the attention because of the uncertainty of where you will be kicking a ball next season, going to the center of all the world’s media is a bit of a silly move. (Like the one he will probably make in a couple of weeks). Or maybe he did it on purpose…

Judging by the what is reported I think Ronaldo likes, even loves the attention and wants more. MORE !

Maybe he wants to be bigger than Derek. He wants to have all the newspaper gossip. Not just on the back pages, but all the pages. He’s lining himself up, media and financially-wise, to be the next Beckham.

But is he there yet ?

Do you think that Ronaldo is now the football star or does Derek still hold that crown ?

- Have a listen to the related music first and then afterwards take the vote…

The track is short and sweet and comes via a Swedish artist who performs under the name of Strawberry Fair.

Strawberry Fair is the stage name of Swedish soul/pop musician Jenny Franzén. Inspired by bands such as The Aislers Set, Shop Assistants and Television Personalities she began writing her own material in the early part of the 21st century. 2003 saw the release of her first two self financed CD-R singles: “Empty Wallets and Greedy Companies” and “Strawberry Fair”. That same year her song “Don’t Take Everything So Seriously” was featured on “Picknick Picks!”, a cassette compilation put together by the Swedish fanzine Picknick and the California based record company Popgun.
