We Are The World

May this clip of years ago make us realise that:

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving…

Dream your dream

When life’s obstacles make it so hard to journey, continue to Dream the dream”.

I Dream A Dream

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he’ll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I’m living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

“Prince” Naseem Hamed vs Marco Antonio Barrera

I was watching the programme, “The Contender Asia” yesterday evening and can’t help but to recall a boxing match that took place in 2001 that kept me at the edge of my seat. It was a boxing match for the IBO (International Boxing Organisation) Featherweight title held by Naseem Hamed who called himself the “Prince” against his challenger, Marco Antonio Barrera.

“Prince” Naseem has a flashy and arrogant style of boxing. Full of antics to taunt his opponent and frequent colourful ring entrances. He adopts an unorthodox southpaw stance and his favourite combination of two right jabs followed by an explosive straight left (hook or uppercut) usually knocks out the strongest challenger.

However on 7th April 2001, the 12-round title fight at the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas was a match that dethroned “Prince” Naseem. Barrera kept his distance and selectively threw punches that connected which sent Naseem detracted from his planned strategy. Naseem’s record at the time was 35-0 and his opponent, Barrera had a record of 52-3. The bout was delayed a full hour due to Naseem’s elaborate entrance which involved fireworks, loud music, spectacular lighting, and conveyance to the ring on a motorised seat suspended from a catwalk.
