Have you heard? The band, Red Earl, will have a concert here in January! Do you want to go?
Of course! I want to watch them live, too. I became a fan after you made me listen to their single “Welcome Reputation”.

Aren’t their songs fantastic? “Welcome Reputation” is my personal favorite so far. The lyrics are nothing short of poetry and the lead guitarist, Harry Summers, played their song in perfect harmony.
Indeed, considering how today’s music values entertainment over creativity. I hate those popular electronic dance songs with nonsensical lyrics. Who listens to them, anyway?

My sister does. I really don’t understand her taste in music.
Well, you can’t always please everyone. Anyway, you can come over at my place if you want to see all of my Red Earl albums.

I can’t believe you made me see that horrible movie. I should’ve watched “The Stallions”, instead.
It’s not that bad. The story just happened to be predictable. Still, the fight scenes were good. Also, Alexander Zala played a supporting role.

As expected, he was amazing. He was the only reason why I was able to finish the movie we watched. The only sad part is his acting skills were underestimated this time.
True. He is my favorite actor, you know. I’ve been a big fan of his movies and he has received lots of awards for his acting skills. He also met his wife Emilia Turner in one of his movies.

Emilia Turner is his wife? Wow! I didn’t know that. They were always such a great pair in their movies. Anyway, do you want to watch their movies with my friends after our family dinner?

I bought us tickets for Leonardo and Gaspar’s championship fight on December 20.
Really? I’m so excited. Leonardo injured his right fist in his last fight with Elseman, right? This fight with Gaspar is going to be his first title defense since his recovery.

True. He’s one of my favorite boxer of all time. Out of his 32 fights, 27 were knockouts and he only had two losses. Although, Gaspar is not one to be underestimated.
I know. I just think it’s a waste of time that he had to relinquish his super middleweight belts for this one fight. If I were him, I would do no such thing. What a big gamble! What if he loses? He’ll be back to square one.

He has made his name and is already regarded as one of the greatest boxers of our generation. So technically, he won’t have to start from scratch if he loses. Anyway, I’m rooting for Leonardo.
