I'm going for a run to burn off this energy. Wtf Just happened. You want some excitement? Go in the Long Room at Brit's when Landon scored that goal. Sitting through miss after miss of sitters in front of the net. I honestly thought the soccer gods were showing american fans (the nu lot) how fucking cruel this sport can be. I'll be back with a reaction in a bit. I am so proud of my boys though. God damn. Anyone that wants to go to brit's with me sunday just let me know. I'll be there when the doors open.

Well I will try and briefly put some thoughts here. I couldn't sleep too well last night because I was nervous and it was thudering very loud. I woke up at 5:15 and thought it was almost time to get up until I came to my senses and realized I didn't need to get up until around 6;30. Finally woke up at 630, took a shower and set out on my way. I picked my brother up and we got to brit's around 7:15 (opened at 7:30). Watched some Wimbledon and waited.

The US had the majority of the play. especially in the 2nd half, but they just couldn't find a goal. I thought it was a wrap when it got under 5 minutes. I thought it just wasn't our day. I thought everyone who isn't a diehard soccer fan would see the pain and anguish that came with dominating a team, but not getting a result. Then donovan went on a run and ended up knocking the ball in the back of the net in the 91st minute.

Brit's was packed and we had one of the best seats in the house; big screen in front of us with a flat screen to our northwest with the england game on. The pop when donovan scored was unbelievable. It was screaming for about a minute straight. I had goosebumps for a few minutes after. When the final whistle went and we won it was glorious. I still feel amazing. The run I went on was because I can't just drink before work to calm down. I figured I would run and burn some energy off, which has helped a little bit.

I believe the next game is sunday. I will be at brit's bright and early if anyone wants to join for a day of football (I'll be there all day saturday as well me thinks).

What a great win for US Soccer! GET THE FUCK IN YOU YANKS!!!!

World Cup Day 1

Game #1 South Africa 1 Mexico 1 Game#2 France 0 Uruguay 0

An exciting first game of the 2010 world cup. I went to tyler's early in the morning to watch it since I had to work in EP at 3. It was a pain getting up (read: last night was a train wreck to one extent and an amazing night to another), but I did and go sorted. The world cup being here is definitely amazing and needs to be one of the only things that could get me up on 2.5 hours of sleep when I have a shift in the afternoon.

I am almost off of work and tomorrow is a big big day. Gonna be at Brit's downtown bright and early and gonna get a warm up game in with Nigeria vs. Argentina only to have the main event served up at about 1:30 with the US boys vs. the dirty red coats. I CAN NOT WAIT. Should be some good dudes there. Got some boys flying in for the game so hopefully it will be a fun, enjoyable atmosphere with a good amount of silly banter! I'll check in tomorrow with a recap of the day's events.

WORLD CUP

I saw Nick Swardson tonight at the bar.
We won tonight and I played great, like the rest of the team.
We won at flip cup tonight.
I had a lot of fun at the bar tonight.
Tomorrow the World Cup starts.
This will be one of the most fun months of my next 4 years.
I bought an American flag tonight.
I am going to Brit's Pub with buddies early Saturday to watch the USA vs. England game.

I am so happy. I just wish some of my buds from over the pond could be here to see the US rock some dirty redcoats!!

COME ON MEN! GET THE FUCK INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

"I am very afraid that this is the climax of my life"

Did I mention how much I love postsecret.com and all the books that go along with it? No? Well I love post secret and everything about it.

Not much is new with me, planning some trips for the rest of the year. We are going camping this summer so if anyone is interested please let me know. I am going to california over christmas and possibly in August. I cannot wait for that. I haven't been there since August 2003 when the sun tried to kill me.

I have the next 3 days off. It is the first time in about 5-6 weeks that I have more than 1 day in a row off. I bet I will want to go back to work by Friday afternoon. Do I love work? Fuck no. Do I love the satisfaction that I get from working? Absolutely. I actually enjoy working at the hotel and interacting with people everyday. That is something I never thought I would say. I was never scared of people, but I just wasn't good at the small talk with randoms. Now I can kick some ass at that quality, which I look forward to doing at Dan's wedding reception.

Dan, did you get my message? I have been honing my small talk skills. I just need to know if it is ok I am coming a little late, and what I am supposed to wear. Like I said, I have never done the wedding thing and I have no idea what this is about. Any information would be appreciated.

Time to go watch some tv and get some sleep. I am excited to run tomorrow (got that work out bug back) and then run shit at Bryn Mawr!
