2011 Are we ready for it?

2011....

Well friends of The English Man, here goes another year into the bin....we get older, we get slower, we grow in decadence and yet we are unable to grow in wisdom, in respect, in love and understanding. We'll hopefully get over this burden...

This year has left us with an outstanding list of events that would take us hundreds of pages to fully talk about them.

Nevertheless, we must concentrate in naming a few:

1.- Floods...everywhere!

2.- This "now permanent" crisis...economic and moral.

3.- Corruption cases to fill jails with nice elegant people.

4.- Natural disasters thanks to our intervention (not divine!!)

5.- Incredible discoveries (including some very well preserved cavemen and a new life saving vaccines)

6.- Barça beating Madrid again.....(this is something personal; but we must give a personal touch to everything we do!)

7.- Smart-phones, TABs .....and more. The digital era seem to be unstoppable.

8.- WAR---or at least a very possible one that will send all of us to hell or to heaven (you know naughty or nice, so you better think twice)!

But I am amazed in the way politicians and multinational companies waste our money...and I say "our" because everyone pays tax (or at least we mortals do....), buys stock, or just simply buys household brands; and when "our" money becomes theirs, well...

The newest and most bizarre "investment" is the test Google is putting it's new androids through. You might think: oh here he goes again, but believe me folks...putting phones to the stratosphere to make photos seems just a little too much....you tell me!

Anyway, we are all making our New Year's resolutions. Signing up to the gym, calling long forgotten relatives, going on a diet, forgiving our "enemies" and more....and if your resolution is to learn English, don't forget to visit www.theenglishman.es Contact them and get ready to have fun learning!

We at The English Man are sure that with a little help from our loved ones we'll have a wonderful time. Have fun and enjoy this new journey through time!

But don’t go monkeying around....
