Day 3

Germany is the team to beat. 4-0. Granted it was Australia but they had a solid defense for the most part and the offense took advantage of every opportunity that they created. Klose is back on form and Pudolski had a great shot. This team very well could meet up with Spain again in the semi finals and might be able to win. Right now Germany is the team to beat.

Day 2

Day 2 of the World Cup is in the books. Amazing day for the South Korea. Greece is a fluke that won the Euros on accident. Argentina stands a good chance but no real chance of winning the World Cup, mainly because of their manager. Nigeria is a great team. England might finish second behind the U.S.

Day 1

Day 1 of the World Cup is in the books.
I wish South Africa won their game. A tie is ok. At least the history of the host nation not losing the first game is still intact. Almost lost my voice in the first half of the first game. That is always fun. I'd rather go into work the next day unable to speak because I have been cheering for so long, so loud. I'd much rather do that and explain to customers why I can't speak than to speak normally and force a conversation about the World Cup.


It's the beautiful game.

Today Is Different

Less than 24hrs til the first game of the World Cup 2010 begins. I am too excited to do anything else. I will be up in arms cheering for every team. I wish I could be in South Africa for this very moment. But alas, I will be in Austin, Tx watching it on TV. Not a bad thing, just not where I would love to be. With this World Cup, the first in Africa, several players and politicians would like to see and end to racism and segregation. With such a global sport being played in a country where apartheid was very evident for so long, and having 32 countries of various races and backgrounds all here at the same time. This should be a stone that could be stepped upon to take larger steps to end racism. I hope that is possible. If it does happen, wow, what a stage to happen on and that surely would have this World Cup be the greatest of all to date. Not because of the games, which promise to be electric, but because of the movements that happened. That is my wish. That and that either Spain or the Netherlands win the World Cup.

Am I Doing This To Myself

I need to figure out where I want things to go. I'm fine where I'm at right now. I have an opportunity to start a new relationship or I have the option to rekindle an old one.

What happens when you still love your first love and you're not sure if it's reciprocated?

What are you supposed to do when you want to start something, but you're not sure if it's a good idea to do so?

Do you go along with it? Or force their hand? Do you make your feelings known and hope for the best? Or do you take steps to be closer to them and then see what happens?

I need to relax and let them play out.
I am starting to think too much.

Countdown!!

I'm watching the Netherlands play versus Hungary. Wow. They play so fast. The passing is amazing. Every player is very unselfish with the ball. They understand that if they score then they win, it doesn't matter who scores, just as long as they score. I will be watching Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Germany and France, just to see how they fair after a very controversial entry into the World Cup.

On Life

So I'm watching TV and I realize that the commercials are telling me something. No, not to buy some of their products but to give up my dream of inventing a teleportation machine. The UTI technical college said "Technicians will be around for a VERY long time."
They're secretly saying that I there will never be a teleportation machine, AND that cars and in turn, technicians will ALWAYS be around.

I have a definite feeling that the government is watching me! Hopefully, I'm just that narcissistic and I'm wrong. We shall see.

Advice

I've said this countless times. Communication is key. And she can do it! I can not be upset, mad or angry for any reason. She talked to me to let me know what the plan was or how it needed to change. I can't be bent out of shape. Yes, I'm not happy because I can't spend time with her, but I am happy because she can talk to me about it. I really do enjoy this girl.

On a side note:
Why is it that whenever I start to get involved with someone, all other girls suddenly become interested in me? Once they see the light go out, they pounce and attack. This drives me up the wall! You had your chance. I'm with someone else. Don't ruin it for me because I don't like you. If I haven't tried to get to know you or take you out on a date then please don't bring your woes into my life by causing trouble for me. I want to be happy just as you do. But there are far greater people in the world than myself. Find them. They can make you smile bigger than I can.

I Enjoy Her

She is excited to see me. I am excited to see her. I toss and turn all night long waiting for the day that she can grace my presence again. I want her to smile all day. I want to be better for her. I need to go workout again. I want to be greater for her and for myself. I enjoy every moment we are together.
