The Best Month Every 4 Years is Upon Us...

been a while since i posted...

World Cup is HERE!

France couldn't be more boring

U.S. thanks Rob Green

So the World Cup is finally here...

Mexico v. South Africa...First goal of the tournament goes to South Africa...good finish, great celebration dance. I'm gonna have to learn this revised macarena.

France v. Uruguay....kill me. I fell asleep during part of it because it was so boring.

South Korea v. Greece...couldn't seem to wake myself up for it...heard Greece looked awful though...

Argentina v. Nigeria...legit header for Argentina minus the fact that he was wide open...they looked good...Messi will find the back of the net many times in the next few weeks

England v. U.S.A....don't know what to say really except thank you Mr. Green....and U.S. needs to pick up their defending...

Algeria v. Slovenia...once again, couldn't wake myself up...but U.S. better beat them both.

Ghana v. Serbia...it was an alright game...don't know if anyone saw (or remembers) Serbia's free kick where the Serbian forward Pantelic peeled off the defense wall and was wide open near the back post...he missed it, but I liked the play....might have to try it this fall

Germany v. Australia...excited to see Podolski...I think Germany will take it.

funny Zidane commercial if you haven't seen them...

Kids are funny. <-- watch this.

"Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina."

10 Reasons Why I Will Live in San Diego Someday

1. The Ocean

2. The Sunsets

7. The Chargers

8. Morning walks/runs along the beach.

"All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."
— Chuck Palahniuk

“It’s never the changes we want that change everything.”

"Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most."

— Chuck Palahniuk

"The only constant is change.” -Heraclitus

"It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness.

We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace."

— Chuck Palahniuk

5. Under Control - Parachute

gonna end it with this quote...

"Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return."
