Geldof Top, Federer Better


Seminggu Seminggu terakhir ini saya mendadak jadi setan tivi. Dua hari terakhir, bahkan sampai rela duduk manis seharian, cuma nonton tivi. Dari jam 2 siang kemarin, sambil makan siang saya melototin Live8live concert yang disiarkan langsung BBC dari Hyde Park sampe tengah malam. Bukan main. Buat saya, kapan lagi bisa nonton 'satu paket' U2 nyanyi 'Sgt Peppers' bareng Paul Mc Cartney, live. Melihat Michael Stipe 'REM', penyanyi idola waktu ABG menjeritkan 'Everybody Hurts' bikin saya terkagum-kagum dan nggak mau meninggalkan siaran langsung. Sayang, REM nggak nyanyi salah satu lagu andalannya 'Loosing My Religion'.

STING, dengan 'message in the bottle' dan 'every step you take', plus Madonna yang masih aja cantik dan oke nyanyi 'just like a prayer', membuat saya balik ke 'masa muda'. Penyanyi jaman sekarang, 'Travis' juga muncul dengan sweet song-nya 'Sing Sing'. Juga, ada Robbie Williams yang sadar benar digilai publik Inggris dan sukses jejingkrakan di panggung. Mungkin, penyanyi papan atas Inggris yang nggak naik panggung cuma Oasis. Itupun, konon karena mereka sudah terlanjur dikontrak untuk manggung di Manchester.

Rasanya, sekali nonton bisa bolak-balik ke berbagai jaman sekaligus. Nyaris berteriak saya melihat A-Ha yang di-relay langsung dari Berlin dan Duran-Duran yang live dari Rome. Juga ketika melihat George Michael yang meski cuma muncul dengan satu lagu, tapi cukup membuat senyum-senyum mengingat jaman SMP dan SMA tergila-gila dengan WHAM. Saya juga jadi tahu, bagaimana Pink Floyd yang legendaris ber-reuni, naik panggung dan menyanyi dengan dahsyat, di usia mereka yang sudah gaek. Tengah malam waktu acara ditutup dengan 'Hey Jude', saya sama sekali nggak menyesal duduk manis 10 jam menonton Live8live. Justru menyesal karena nggak sempat beli kaset video untuk merekamnya.

**

Bob Geldof dan Bono memang hebat. Mereka tahu bagaimana sebagai seniman, rock star, mereka adalah idola yang didengar dan punya massa banyak yang bisa jadi kekuatan besar. Juga, mereka sadar bahwa ide dan kata-kata seniman sering dianggap lebih 'genuine' daripada kalau politisi yang ngomong. Anak muda lebih dengar penyanyi rock bicara pentingnya combatting poverty, daripada dengar ajakan dan janji Tony Blair. Aneka rupa orang, termasuk para ABG yang selama ini nggak tahu seperti apa rasanya jadi orang susah di dunia ketiga, menjadi familiar dengan isu kemiskinan. Sangat menghibur dan cukup mencerahkan. 25 juta orang signing petisi dan 200 ribu marching in di Edinburgh bukan jumlah yang sedikit. 'If we make a very loud noise, the G8 leaders might hear us', kata Geldof. Slogan 'don't give charity, we need justice' juga cerdas. Memotong utang negara-negara miskin yang rata-rata pernah jadi koloni negara-negara G8 merupakan bentuk menciptakan keadilan. Geldof dan Bono sukses raising awareness, dan tentu saja, membuat Pink Floyd ber-reuni khusus untuk Live8.

**

Live8 concert membuat saya bolak-balik pencet saluran, supaya bisa juga nonton final putri Wimbledon. Sayang, Davenport yang saya jagokan hari itu, kalah dari Venus William. Wimbledon inilah yang seminggu lebih membuat saya selalu pulang dari sekolah siang hari dan langsung nongkrong di depan TV. Urusan disertasi tentu jadi kalah menarik dibanding melihat Sharapova, Federer ataupun idola baru Inggris, Andy Murray. Di Jakarta, saya nggak tahan kalau harus melek sampai tengah malam untuk menonton siaran langsung. Nggak rugi rasanya stand by di depan TV, melihat atraksi di lapangan yang luar biasa. Pemain baru dan yang senior hampir sama jagonya. Pemain baru yang saya jagokan, Shania Mirza dari India, dan Andy Murray. Dua-duanya 18 tahun, dan penuh semangat. Saya ikut sedih waktu Mirza dikalahkan Serena William. Juga sewaktu publik Inggris sangat down karena Murray akhirnya kalah setelah bermain 5 set di babak ketiga. Bukan karena saya tinggal di Inggris, tapi karena melihat betapa anak baru di tennis mati-matian pontang panting menghadapi pemain unggulan dan berusaha menyenangkan penonton yang berharap ia menang.

Tapi untungnya, jagoan saya, Federer hari ini jadi juara. Sorry to say, lawannya, Andy Roddick memang cuma menang lebih ganteng. Wajar kalau supporter Federer membawa spanduk besar, "Federer is Betterer", hehe..pelesetan yang oke punya. Menonton Federer main benar-benar menyenangkan. Permainannya indah dan 'komplet' kata Jimmy Connors. Menyenangkan sekali melihat ia bisa mengembalikan bola dari hampir semua posisi. Plus, tingkah laku Federer yang 'sweet' dan tenang membuat pemain nomor 1 dunia ini nyaris nggak ada cacatnya di lapangan. Saya bertepuk tangan heboh di depan tivi waktu melihat serve Federer masuk mengakhiri pertandingan yang hanya 3 set saja. Wajar kalau ia kemudian menangis senang seperti anak kecil karena menjadi juara Wimbledon 3 kali berturut-turut seperti Boris Becker, idolanya. He is definitely much much better than anyone else.

='Brand New News From The Timber Industry!!'=

========Latest Profile==========
Energy & Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY)
Current Price $0.15
================================

Recognize this undiscovered gem which is poised to jump!!

Please read the following Announcement in its Entierty and
Consider the Possibilities�
Watch this One to Trade!

Because, EGTY has secured the global rights to market
genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!

EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.
The value of this Stock appears poised for growth! This one will not
remain on the ground floor for long.

KEEP READING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

===============
"BREAKING NEWS"
===============

-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.

The wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.

Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

Conclusion:

The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This stock will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!

Hello. Nice piece about Geldof Top, Federer Better. I have a music blog that I'm trying to get going myself - just looking for a little inspiration! All I seem to have done so far is declare my undying love for Radiohead, the Killers and a rather large article on Live 8. The live8 dvd set is out today which should be fantastic. It's set to become the biggest selling DVD ever - not surprising really. Anyway, like I said, great blog and I'll be back again soon.
