Jordan Roseman (aka DJ Earworm) is a San Francisco-based mashup artist who has achieved recognition for his technically sophisticated, songwriting oriented music and video mashups. His annual “United State of Pop” mashups, short mixes featuring the top 25 songs of the year according to Billboard magazine, have reached the Top 100 for national radio play.
Roseman was born into a big family of musicians and raised in eastern Iowa and Evanston, Illinois. In his early life, he played piano and produced original electronic music on a computer, later majoring in music theory and computer science at the University of Illinois. He began using ACID recreationally in 2003. After encouragement from DJ Adrian at Club Bootie, Roseman created the moniker DJ Earworm ("earworm" referencing a song that repeats uncontrollably in one's mind) and began releasing mashups via a website.
DJ Earworm has a unique mashup style that consists of a compositional, songwriting approach. He gradually layers samples on top of one another, matching keys and subtly altering melodies. His mashups often convey an entirely new meaning than the original material, such as a political message in “No More Gas”. He has been contrasted with mashup artist Girl Talk, who has a more DJ-oriented style.

Ronaldo became the most expensive footballer in history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer worth £80 million (€93.9 million/$131.6 million).

The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup. He also played at Euro 2004 with Portugal and scored his first international goal in the opening game of the tournament against Greece, in addition to helping Portugal reach the final.

Kobe Bean Bryant (born August 23, 1978) is an American professional basketball player who plays shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Bryant enjoyed a successful high school basketball career at Lower Merion High School, where he was recognized as the top high school basketball player in the country. He decided to declare his eligibility for the NBA Draft upon graduation, and was selected with the 13th overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets, then traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. As a rookie, Bryant earned himself a reputation as a high-flyer and a fan favorite by winning the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest.
Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. A heated feud between the duo and a loss in the 2004 NBA Finals was followed by O'Neal's trade from the Lakers after the 2003–04 season. Following O'Neal's departure Bryant became the cornerstone of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise. He led the NBA in scoring during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons, setting numerous scoring records in the process. In 2006, Bryant scored a career-high 81 points against the Toronto Raptors, the second most points scored in a single game in NBA history, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game in 1962. He was awarded the regular season's Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) in 2008. After losing in the 2008 NBA Finals, Bryant led the Lakers to two consecutive championships in 2009 and 2010, earning the NBA Finals MVP Award on both occasions.
I keep on my shoulders the weight of the world,
but I broke when you asked for a ride.
I’ll be outside.
I guess you’re just bored and you’re boring like me,
and if you don’t keep me happy someone will.
I’ll be all right.
I didn’t know there’s a rollercoaster in town.
Been gone too long.
I’m prepared for the ups and downs,
but sometimes,
yeah, sometimes you wanna get off.
I’ll never feel the same again,
but I wouldn’t re-write anything.
Let’s hope your resolution’s made.
Yeah.
A minute to midnight,
and I’m bailing out.
Nothing to kiss but pavement now.
We’re counting down.
I can’t believe I used to like losing to you,
and if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, then.
That’s what you said.
Where are your friends?
Who are you gonna tell?
Been gone too long.
I guess the time alone will do you well.
I’ll never feel the same again,
but I wouldn’t re-write anything.
Let’s hope your resolution’s made.
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me.
Now that I’ve set the record straight:
this is my holiday.
this is my holiday.
I’ll never feel the same again,
but I wouldn’t re-write anything.
Let’s hope your resolution’s made.
Happy New Year, you’re dead to me.
Now that I’ve set the record straight:
Newspaper full of violence
But I ain't so good at violence
But I wanna smash Hilton's face like the window back at my place
These tabloids make me puke
All these bands I'd like to nuke
There ain't nothing today but bullshit and celebrity news
So what have we got?
Nothing, nothing to do.
Who's gonna take 'em down?
And rip off all their crowns?
Cuz I don't wanna hear Stephani or Beyoncé
Our minds have been impounded
and now we are surrounded
When he hears the radio does "Uncle Joe" turn in his grave?
So what have we got?

Negativity lives and breathes inside of me
It's worthless to think that I'll ever be free
Fuck you
My hate for this world is more than I can take
If you say that you love me, I'll say that you're fake
No one is listening and no one fucking cares
Life is disgusting and nothing is fair
I can't even stand to look you in the eye
You want me to smile, I want you die
You don't have scars and you don't know pain
Violent thoughts are what's left in my brain
