It's been a long time

We shouldn't of left you, without a dope beat to step to...

"Try again" by Aaliyah, keeping with the old school vibe, here we go!

So since the last posting, Soccer apparently ended in the US. I know what you're thinking, "you mean MLS?". No someone said we had a National team playing in the World Cup, and we lost to Ghana. GHANA! I know, who knew that was even a country.

I can just imagine how it all went down. It's in extra time, people are in the bars going crazy, waving their flags, chanting U-S-A, U-S-A, (think Hacksaw Jim Duggan), drinking their Bud Light (even though it's not an American beer). Suddenly, Ghana scores!!

Then like a bad dream, people wake up wondering what happened. They look around with quizzical looks on their face. "Why are we at this bar? And why I am only wearing an American flag for clothes?"

Just like that, the sport of Soccer passes again through the US. It'll be another 4 years till this phenomenon picks back up. Truly it's sad it can't sustain a larger following.

Italy and France were left out of the single elimination round, so now our best bets are either Brazil or Germany. Can one truly cheer for Germany? I mean should we ever support anything they do besides making beer?

Before you know it, they win the World Cup, their industry picks up from the ongoing celebrations. They're feeling a bit bulletproof, Austria and Hungary decide to merge again, and it's 1940 all over. Get ready Obama, the new Fuhrer in town is David Hasselhoff!

In other news...

Went home this past weekend for my oldest brother's wedding. Other than the drive, it was an amazing time. Weather was great, music was playing, and 151 mistakenly became a good friend of mine. I think more people I know need to get married, just so one can drink dressed up in a tux and hit on emotional women.

Ok, ok, you know I was kidding about that last comment. I'm one of the good guys remember?

I tried out a Yoga session on Tuesday, and a mini Crossfit session yesterday. Given that it was my first time for both, I was told I was quite impressive at Yoga. Never before in my life have I been so sore and stretched into crazy positions. Well except for that crazy night in Las Vegas, where I woke up in the Desert, but that's for another blog...

Starting up another season in the Fairfax County Softball league. Last season I got the nickname "Ichiro" b/c of my penchant to never hit for power, but being fast as hell. I'm now looking for street hockey in DC, which is like finding quality food in a sewer.

Looking forward to a 4th of July weekend of nice weather, grilling, pools, tubing, drinking and traffic free adventures!

Happy Canada Day everyone!

O Canada!

Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
