If you have not heard of Hideaki Akaiwa by now it is about time for you to google him. One of the many Japanese men of honor and respect. I was listening to talk radio about three days ago and automatically he brought a smile to my face with his actions. Briefly speaking Hideaki was at work when the earthquake and tsunami hit his home town. Now in crisis situations there are 3 types of men those that spring into action, those that stand by the side, or worst of all those that just stand and talk. Hideaki commandeered a wetsuit w/ scuba gear, found his house in dark murky water with everything including glass, cars and trees, found and broke into his house,swam to the upper level where he found his wife of 20years and brought her to safety. He then searched all the rescue places for his mom and when he could not find her after 2 days he went back under and found her trapped in a house and brought her to safety. When asked about the situation he simply replied "my wife means alot to me" ,"no further questions".

The 2022 World cup will be held in Qatar, which is one of the world's richest countries thanks to vast natural gas and oil reserves. With the average temp in the hundreds in July they have come up with a solution to the heat. They will use the cause of all the heat, the sun to cool the stadium. An artificial cloud will hover over the stadium to keep it cool. A solar powered cloud WOW!
What is meant to be will be. After winter, must come spring, change it comes eventually.
The Internet has been a buzz in recent months about Ms Lauryn Hill. "She looks a mess", "What the hell is she wearing", "What is up with the heavy make up", and What is the deal with this wig." All these things can be said about anyone even you. She might be portraying a mirrors image for the women in society who feel they need these things to be beautiful.We as humans are evolving and should be allowed to experiment. So many people consider themselves fans but do not want to allow the true artists to grow. Your love for Lauryn's past music must also be held responsible for stifling her growth as an artist. My suggestions is - when going to see an artists perform that you really love and miss, do try to remember that it is a performance, and not a "CD SING-A-LONG" I saw first hand with my own eyes and ears, Ms. Lauryn Hill perform at the Jazz in the Gardens in Miami, fl. What was to complain about in Miami was the band and the poor engineering, but the avg patron does not understand these things Lauryn just sounds bad to them. She sounds great to me her voice was strong. The rearranging of her songs were refreshing and the songs she covered were reinvented. Now style wise she was fly, could have used a lil Samsara up in there but def the biltmore ballroom 80's type frock teamed with red tailored jkt with NY fitted was dope and she owned it. "just cause you cant pull it off, don't hate Lauryn damm sure rock'd it"
