    The roar of the engine sends my heart racing as I pull out on to the track, one lap around and we are off, trucks at my side as we glide around the turns. The slick dirt pulling my back end around I move my hands, my automatic controls, the only thing keeping me from spinning out. It’s funny really because clichés aren’t my thing, however, at times idioms are just the thing to describe a situation or time period in one’s life, for instance the saying that “life is a roller coaster” couldn’t be more fitting for my life. The ups and downs, the highs and the lows, the twists and turns, life is just one big adrenaline rush and at times I feel I’m a junking, addicted to life.…

    The debate of which sport is better futbol or american football has been around for a long time, and there seems to be no answer to satisfy everyone no matter how big the popularity of futbol overshadows its counterpart. The best sport in the world overall is futbol not american, but the original futbol that is known through the world, and is played by the majority of the world 's population. The debates answer might be hard to swallow at first, but after a few facts the truth is undeniable futbol or how americans call it soccer is way more advanced than football, but yet is way more fun and more entertaining to everyone participating in it.
