Kobe Bryant is The Black Mamba

The Black Mamba, staring Kobe Bryant, Kanye West, Bruce Willis, Danny Trejo, is a Nike Basketball production, directed by Robert Rodriguez.  The film brings Kobe's alter ego, the Black Mamba to life in a way that's never been seen before. The Black Mamba highlights Kobe's everyday determination and "fight to the finish" spirit.  The film also showcases Kobe as one of the best basketball players in the world, featuring him as a "protector" of basketball as he fights off those wishing to destroy and attack the game. The film will be launched to consumers on Saturday, February 19, 2011, 6:00 p.m. at the Ronac ART Center, Ortigas Avenue, Greenhills, San Juan. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. With the launch of the film is the unveiling of the Nike Zoom Kobe VI.  The Nike Zoom Kobe VI is a performance basketball shoe inspired by the black mamba. The design draws cues from this fearsome snake and incorporates key performance elements in a low-profile shoe that weighs just 10.6 ounces in a men's US size 9.

Valentine's essence

A person once asked , if the boat is sinking , if you were to choose ONLY ONE in saving your parent, sibling, spouse or child , who would you save
They always say to save the child but if we were to stick to the commandment and Christian doctrine, aside from being able to save all, I heard that in all rationality we should save our spouse. Why did I agree to it today
1if you save your spouse , you have someone to help you save the rest.
2 your spouse will be able to get you impregnated and have another child
3 during the demise of the unfortunates , your spouse will stick and hear your heart out.
Why not our parents..Save the world and speed up the immortality rate
why no the kids..They have learned to save themselves and will soon leave us too.
after all our children are only God's gift to us, not to own but just to have and MOLD.
In other words, we must empower others, but we are empowered by our spouses.
Happy Valentine's Day Valentino Roberto!

Distracted Boy Falls on Train Tracks While Gaming

This video shows a 10-year-old boy so absorbed with his PSP that he apparently fell onto the tracks at a rail station in Italy. With no train in sight, an off-duty cop jumps in and rescues him.



Hero policeman Alessandro Micalizzi describes the harrowing rescue:

He was with his mother and sister, and before he fell I saw them out of the corner of my eye and he was completely lost in his game and wasn't looking where he was going.

I just had a few seconds because he had got off a train and mine was due in less than a minute so I acted as quickly as I could, making sure not to touch the rails.

Then God his train wasn't already at the station, or he might not have had time to save this child's life!
