Olympian sensation Usain Bolt has recently made headlines after he admitted to trying Marijuana as a kid in Jamaica. Bolt went on to say that he’s never used any kind of illegal substance since; adding, that as a professional athlete, he disapproves of any such lifestyle. To date, no body has questioned Usain Bolt on any possible implications of any kind of performance enhancing drug use, after he set the world record in the 100 meters of 9.69 seconds; most likely, because Bolt agreed to, and openly passed, all required drug screenings by the Olympics.

However, the recent remark that landed Bolt back into the spotlight was a comment he made to a German reporter about the commonality of marijuana use in Jamaica. Bolt said, “When you’re a child in Jamaica, you learn how to roll a joint.” After the fact, Usain Bolt realized how his words could have been taken negatively and issued a statement, in which he said “I want to apologize to the Jamaican people if at anytime it may have come across that all young people roll a joint.” Still, I’m sure that most Jamaicans are still more enthralled by the three gold medals that 22-year-old, Usain Bolt, brought to his motherland at last year’s Beijing Games, as well as the potential half-dozen others that Bolt is sure to win in future Olympic Games.

Time.I've been passing time watching trains go by.All of my life, lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly.Wishing there would be, someone waiting home for me.Somethings telling me it might be you, it's telling me it might be you.All of my life.

Like autumn turns leaves, winter will breathe, cold on our necks, snow in our paths.Wherever she goes, all that I know about us is that beautiful things never last,that's why fireflies flash.

It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume.Don't get up, I'll get through on my own.I don't know if I'm home or if I lost the way into your room I'm spiraling into my doom.I'm feeling half alive but I know one day you and I will be free, To live and die by our own rules, free.

Manchester United completely dominated yet another game of football, and yet didn't get anywhere near their awesome best. Despite rarely getting out of second gear, United kept possession for long spells, and reserve keeper Roy Carroll had only a handful of touches throughout the game.

Carroll was playing so that Timmy Howard could be rested for the big game a local derby against city-rivals Manchester City. Sir Alex also chose to leave Roy Keane off the team, but even without their midfield workhorse, United looked incredibly solid defensively. Kleberson and Ronaldo were both kept well away from the action, with Sir Alex believing that their flair and intricate ball control would be wasted against a German team that have conceded only 3 goals in the German league this season.

The game kicked-off, and quickly got up to pace. United created lots of chances for Ruud van Nistelrooy, but the Dutch superstar was unlikely to score from them. Nonetheless, he fired several warning shots to Timo Hildebrand (The German keeper, who is very highly regarded).

After 45 minutes of attacking play, the Reds looked likely to be going into the dressing room without having converted any of their great passing and possession into goals. In the final attack of the half, Giggs skipped past a few defenders, before lofting the ball into the box, where van Nistelrooy cushioned the ball past the German keeper with his head. The header came so late in the first half that there wasn't even time to kick off before half-time.

The second half followed pretty much the same script. The United midfield harried the Germans, and took hold of the game once more. Clever passing and movement meant that the Reds sliced through the German defence with seeming ease.

About 15 minutes into the second half, United sealed victory. Their second goal was also created and finished by Messrs Giggs and van Nistelrooy, but this time they swapped roles. The Dutchman held off two tackles on the half-way line, before sending a perfect through-ball for Giggs to race on to. Giggs had acres of space and charged towards goal with the ball at his feet before slotting it coolly past Hildebrand.

Sir Alex knew his team had done enough, and began to take yet further measures to keep his best players fit for Saturday's crunch game. He took off Giggs and van Nistelrooy after 70 minutes had gone, and Paul Scholes a player who had been integral in much of Uniteds play was taken off ten minutes later.

Without that trio, United certainly looked a worse team. Albeit because the Reds were happy to watch the clock tick down, there was a sudden lethargy to the play, and fans began to get the feeling that United weren't going to score again.

Forlan, who had come on for van Nistelrooy, had one or two chances to finish, but sent one miserably wide from 6 yards, and didn't even make contact with the ball for his second.

Typically, in this match report I have barely mentioned the defence. That's probably because they've been playing extremely well all season! They have been proven excellent at snuffing out the few chances the opposition team make. They recorded yet another clean sheet, and conceded the fewest goals in the Champions League out of all the teams in the competition!

United qualified for the next round of the Champions League by topping their group.
