Haiku

I'm feeling like a Haiku! Here you go!

Lost on a highway
wandering aimlessly, yet
happy to just be

There you go!

It's Football Time, Baby!!

Yes, it is that time that fanatics of the beautiful game wait for. It is a long wait - 4 years! But is it ever worth it. WORLD CUP! A whole month of watching some of the most amazing athletes in the world play the world's game. Sure, I am an American football fan. And I like baseball, basketball, hockey, rugby, and many other sports but soccer is literally the universal game. Every country on every continent plays. AND it is the only sport where the teams have a pretty decent shot of being on equal terms.
I certainly don't know everything about the game but I do know some guys that know just about everything! I generally refer to them as my soccer boys or soccer buddies. They are really nice and I am learning a TON of stuff from them. They eat, sleep, and drink soccer. That is great because I don't!
I really started watching 2 world cups ago and got into it. Okay, I'll admit it - I started watching because of David Beckham. I'm not ashamed. At least it got me there. Last world cup, I was glued to the TV every chance I got. This year, I'll be watching a lot of the games w/ the soccer boys who, along w/ me, are members of the American Outlaws, the US Men's National Team supporter group. This should be entertaining and educational. I'm excited.
Who knows - maybe I'll actually go to the world cup one of these years. THAT would be fun.
If you want to watch games w/ me and the soccer boys, holler at me. I'm glad to let you know.
GO USA!!!!!
