Accent Jumbo
Why people have different accents?
Why do not we all just sound the same? I guess people were in small groups or peoples at the beginning of the formation of the languages they could all have things pronounced differently in their own individual groups, or it could be that the evolution of Mumbo Jumbo language in English (mostly) produced a different accent depending on what your original language, and now people pick up the accents of the people around of them! whtas your opinion?
When we are young we imitate life. We learn things and pick them up. We learn what's around. My sister grew up United States, but has lived in Scotland now for 17 years. She speaks with a distinct Scottish accent and you guess it was not American at one point. She is imitating guess. It's funny. I make fun of her all the time. She said she makes an effort but it just happens. I think men with a thick European accent of any kind are sexy! I know that many women think so too! You'll do great if you come to America, you're an Irish accent and looks forward to drive women crazy!

We are people of football now (a journey of parents)
INTRODUCTION
Fans of the South Eastern Conference to make their college football seriously. Year after year there are in the country, dominating the general registers of attendance. In 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, the conference attracted more than 5.5 million viewers in their home games, a national record for a conference. Football fans, gambling, and wear the badge with pride.
I instead reside at the other end of the spectrum. My parents were not athletes and simply was not part of the family structure. I would like to continue with little enthusiasm to our sports teams premises but only if adequate. If the game was and I was sitting watching TV so good, or if there was a handy radio can tune in. Never in my dreams wildest could have imagined the journey that I was going to take my own son.
TYPICAL PARENT
Like most parents of baby boom times and my wife Stacy and I were determined to expose our children everything they could from sports to music to dance, theater whatever. Following Generational trend, we wanted to offer our children those things that just did not have available to us as children. It's amazing what has changed over only a few decades. What really reinforces this point was one Christmas when Santa brought a Game-Boy for Willy, my eldest son of three, while he was sitting on the floor playing Ninja Turtles he looked at me and asked if I play Game Boy when he was young? This simple question, innocent, telling the whole story. Game-Boy – PS2 – Xbox 360 – Wii, heck, all I had access to Pong was entered into the scene when I was eleven years old, my cousin had one so the only time I the opportunity to play was when I visited. I try to explain to my children that the first time I had access to a computer was in college. We had to sign up the time equipment is often in the early hours of the morning. They look at me while texting a message to your friend, as if I speak a foreign language. Even our vocabulary has changed text messages is an appropriate word?
Growing up in the center of the city during the sixties – seventies the only organization of sports activities available to me were baseball, basketball and soccer. Tennis and golf were mainly for belonging to a country club, hockey and football simply did not exist and opportunities for swimming, athletics, wrestling and volleyball will not be available until high school. Kids today have instant access to the world and exposure to almost anything, baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, swimming, exploration, piano, whatever. I told my children from the beginning that they could participate in anything except football and boxing. My wife and I were determined that our children participate in something, what we choose is for the most part of them. The risk of chronic diseases and even serious injury is too high football and boxing is just plain crazy. If Extreme Fight vulnerable at that time, there have also prohibited. Everything else was a fair game.
Who knew?
Jump ahead ten years. Alex, my middle son, came home from school one day and told me he had joined the football team, catching me off guard and speechless for a moment. He knew the rules, football was out of bounds. -De Indeed, what position? I asked. I'm gonna kick, he said, assuring me that is the safest position in the list, kickers do not get hurt. Then I asked how this happened. Alex's gym class was out on the football field where he and some friends who were already on the team were doing silly kicking field goals. It turns out that Alex will jump through the uprights, with ease, thirty-five yards out for his friends suggested that test for the team, coach, obviously liked what he saw and Alex became the starting varsity kicker his senior year.
We People FOOTBALL NOW
The most ironic thing about this trip is that, before joining the football team Alex had never seen a football game to school as an adult and only a handful of students attended. Maybe if I had friends on the football team when I was in high school or dated a cheerleader Friday night games that have caught my interest.
For all practical purposes, high school football was a new experience for me so naturally I had no idea what to expect. I figured that my family and I would attend the games, see our son kick a few balls and enjoy a night out. My wife, the other jumped with both feet and not look back. Stacy From the first game looked and acted like a veteran soccer mom. He wore the traditional red, black and white headscarf showing the school colors along with the large button pinned proudly on his chest showing a photograph of her son in his soccer uniform. number fifteen, which is my child. The photo button is the official badge of honor for all mothers with children who are members of the team, cheerleading squads and several band running. It truly is a beautiful sight to look at the stands and see a wall of sports moms big picture-buttons, accented with red, white and black scarves. In short, the Football is addictive. It is not about emotional purity involved at this level you can not help but get caught up in emotion. I think the reason for this is that the fans are more committed than in college or professional level, the establishment of secondary school is much more intimate. The parents are obviously going to support her children regardless of level or location, but the real difference is that children in the stands. Are encouraging to the friends we grew up, friends whose birthday parties to who attended and who slept on couches. These are the same guys who were lab partners in science class and were teammates on the recreational soccer team. Children in rural areas and in children is literally have known all their lives. This depth of connection to such a wide scale simply can not happen at school or professional level. Children raised in the same community is what makes high school sports so special and unique.
From the time my children came to school half my opening line when I got home would be the same: "How was school, do you have any homework?" Now though, now that we people football is an added wrinkle. When I talk with Alex is, "How was school, do you have a task, how to kick today? "As I can advise him if he claims it does not take well in practice? The only advice I would be able to give that made any sense at all would be keep your eye on the ball, how profound and completely obvious. But it was important for me to get a progress report. I wanted to participate, he had to participate, because we are football people now.
DEJA VU
My parents lived ten to fifteen minutes of us, however, when our children were young we would forty-five minutes so that all within a walk of ten minutes. Attend our football games son was in a similar ordeal. We graduated from a checklist formula, diapers, toys, snacks, bottles of juice and extra clothing for the stadium seats, blankets, gloves, hats, umbrellas and addresses. The only constant is that someone always had to use the bathroom at the last minute just as they were ready to walk out the door. A couple of things in life beyond questions gender – religion – geography – nationality – economic – education and language, have a family member go to the bathroom just as they are ready to out of the house can be considered a universal truth.
THE PORK PIE HAT
When my children were old enough to attend school, I went out and bought a black leather hat, pork pie I would use diligently to all outdoor events. At first, I wanted to wear a hat to Dr. Seuss, but my wife told me seemed silly, my kids thought it was funny. The pork pie is a cool looking hat, which I still wear to this day. The main reason I bought it was so my children could easily find in a crowd. If ever separated, just looking for the strange-looking hat. In a sea of baseball caps my Pork Pie hat sticking out like a sore thumb. It worked well and my kids got used to the idea. As they grew older and started playing organized sports would wear the hat so easy to find in the stands. Alex tells me he is still looking for his hat while standing on the sideline. The Old habits die.
Friday Night Lights
Being a disciple of the "Just in time theory of 'the car park is already packed as we approach the stadium and once again I am relegated to waiting in line to leave my family at the main entrance after parking the car. Most nights, the nearest parking place is a quarter mile away that is not a problem unless it is 30 degrees with wind or rain. Unfortunately I have to experience so much. As I can make my way to the countryside to spend a used car lot full of cars neatly arranged on the grass between the "No Parking on Grass signals. The scope of influence of the program Football is in the local police is impressive. I can buy my ticket and call my wife to know where he sits. Thank heaven for cell phones, without them I could not find it until half time when there is a stampede to the line for cookies, hot dogs and the bathroom very important.
A high school ball game is a roller coaster of emotion and excitement of waiting for the team to run onto the field through the tunnel of cheerleaders, crashing through the banner Homemade – the halftime show with both high school marching bands – the end of the game when the entire football team runs into the stands in front of the band to pay tribute to one another as the school band plays the fight song. I realized that this show simply has to be experienced firsthand to be appreciated and understood. Electricity and energy of a high school game live is exhilarating. Boys shirtless, chest painted all their screaming counterparts across the field – the first leg opposing sides and back, these children were the best moment of his life and was easy to get caught up in his drama. It made me wonder what I missed when I was in high school, maybe Alex, as part of the football team is offering me the opportunities I lost when I was a student? Maybe it's better that way, as an adult I appreciate it more.
VIP
A team that dominates the school brings a celebrity status not only the players, but their parents too. Suddenly, people who had met only briefly stopped to take part in detailed conversation with me at the pump, the grocery store and coffee house. Alex is really kicking well, has the authority approached him yet? Wow, Alex is having a great season he did not know could kick well. In fact, I did not know either? He must have inherited her mother. It's a great feeling to be the father of an athlete. You can not help but stand out your chest with pride when I hear others in the stands cheering her son and calling his name. It proved to be an experience that could never have anticipated. I savored every minute. I also had the luck by pure chance, to experience atypical events to a normal football season and see Alex set a record by the rise of the new school a field goal 48 yards with one second left in the half to help his team win a championship in the sending State flawless 16-0 record, times like these are really rare.
PRICELESS
Alex told me that the climax of the season was playing the conference championship game at Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not I can not imagine how cool it is to play professional football stadium, I can tell if a father or mother of one of the players is to watch an incredible experience. Sit in the stands and see your son in this field, raising the earth itself, Hines Ward and booming field goals through the uprights same as Jeff Reed's surreal. Tickets for game – $ 10, soft pretzel mustard – $ 4.50, hot dogs and drinks – $ 7.50, seeing Alex, larger than life on the Jumbo-Tron, running off the field pumping bury his fist after a field goal – is priceless.
As impressive as seeing Alex playing at Heinz Field was the highlight for me came several months later, in eastern Pennsylvania and West All Star Game. When I saw Alex run out the tunnel onto the field to my jaw literally dropped. I was stunned, almost paralyzed by the cold sharp piercing through my body was covered with goose bumps. There was, as clear as day lying on the bottom of my son's shoulders, ROMANIA. Your name, my name was on the back of his jersey. I felt overwhelmed, I never saw my name on the back of a shirt but before I was watching, taunting me, seducing me. Seeing my name on the back of the shirt was a profound experience. He took me completely by surprise, was phenomenal. Several times during the course of the game I was inclined to remind my wife how great it was to see my name on the back of the shirt.
WHAT A RIDE
Who could have imagined that kicking the field goals in gym class for fun would have led to a magical journey? Prior to this season's last soccer game high school I attended was in 1978 when he was a junior. Now, we are football people.
Next stop, the university, I guess Stacy will have to get another photo of large buttons and a new scarf while the dust Pork Pie Hat. Thanks for the son for a ride!
