First blog ever - and it was about time

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! I just decided to copy all MySpace blog entries in here - without any order. It is difficuly to know what to say, since this is my first-blog ever, so let's start with what's going on in my life this week. I am pretty excited because Euroleague Basketball is in its second phase now - the Top 16. We went down to 16 teams and only the best eight will survived. Tomorrow I will be working from Badalona to write the report of arguably one of the best games to be seen in Europe these days: Joventut vs. CSKA. Joventut is the most fun-to-watch team in European basketball right now, but they are without Lubos Barton, a key piece in the puzzle. CSKA is the current Euroleague champion and has been unbeaten in 14 straight games. So what can get better than that?

I got to see Kasabian last Sunday and it was one of the best gigs I have seen in the last couple of years. They opened with Shoot the Runner and Reason is Treason and most of the songs from their last album (Empire, the Stuntman, By My Side) sounded quite imporved live. "Old" classics like Club Foot or Processed Beats sounded great, too, and it was quite difficult, because they played in RazzMatazz 2. The sound in the bigger RazzMatazz 1 is quite good, but every gig I went to in RazzMatazz 2 had a terrible sound. It is supposed to be a dance place, and good live bands like The Darkness sounded terrible in there... but Kasabian did alright. They closed with LSF, the best song they have in my opinion, and the best way to finish a very good gig.

I will be in Sevilla next week checking my team, Caja San Fernando. We have a new coach, new ambitions and 11 games to go to see if we make the playoffs for the first time since 2000. We face Barcelona, so we will have to do really well to win that game. I have good friends in the Barcelona team, so having them around will be quite nice, too.

Will let you all know anytime soon. Tomorrow it will be time to meet David Vanterpool - who is injured - and CSKA Moscow. Check back often and send your comments, please!
