I love her! >..<
Required na pala talaga ngayon ang madami notes at followers.
“Ay, ang konti naman ng followers nito.” , “Ay, ang konti ng notes nito.”
- Papayamanin ka ba niyang notes at followers mo?
- Natutukoy nga ba sa notes at followers kung gaano kagaling ang isang blogger?
- Deserve ba ng blogger na ‘to ang madaming notes at followers?
- Baka naman madami nga mga ganiyan niya, eh kung puro mga copy-paste lang din naman ang mga posts niya, tingin mo deserve niya?
Yung mga taong ginagawang big deal ang mga ‘to. Eh kung magblog ka ng walang pakielam sa notes at followers mo at ng isa iba. ‘Yan kasi ang tumblr. Ang tunay na tumblr.
Unquantifiable Genius: Neymar as Messi
By Eric Beard
“Pelé doesn’t know sh*t.”
That was Sid Lowe’s response to James Richardson’s teasing statement on The Guardian’s Football Weekly Podcast. Richardson, of course, was referencing Pelé’s opinion that Neymar is better than Lionel Messi. With Pelé getting up there in age, Sid might be on to something. But that’s neither here nor there. The fact is that Neymar couldn’t do sh*t to stop Barcelona from winning the Club World Cup.
Player comparisons are far too often full of intangibles that draw upon the weak base of power that language possesses. Language is expected to casually unveil a dramatic truth when poetically expressed. However, according to Pep Guardiola, “there are no adjectives” to describe Messi. Language is sh*t next to Messi.Words are sh*t, next to a 24-year-old from Rosario. He is “extraordinary” in dozens of matches every year, and yet his brilliance is invariably unique from one match to another. But if you describe dribbling nine players and chipping the keeper with the same superlative as a hat-trick at the Bernabeu, you need not fear the wrath of Señor Guardiola.
Rather, Pep should understand the deficiencies of human linguistics. But this is not about Messi. It’s not about Neymar, either. The question we’re faced with is the power of an individual, even a phenomenon. Before we go any further, let’s recognize that “phenomenon” is a word football fans can comprehend and associate with Neymar and Messi. But let’s also recognize that it’s a word that doesn’t mean sh*t in defining Neymar or Messi. The subjectivity of definition is clouded by the illusion, the false formation of a collective consciousness. If this were the case, if we could adequately identify the essence of brilliance of another through millions of opinions, then we would not be left speechless listening to Messi being described as a “wonderful salmon [rising] out of the stream.”
