Lack of posts lack of playing lack of stuff.

A couple of different things have happened this summer. First off, Calculus grabbed me by my skull and knee-to-face action began. Then, History followed up with a pipe wrench to my nads. Then, job demands picked up a very large rock and squished mine and wulfa's free time like a bug.

And finally as I lay on the ground head spinning with integrals and european politics of times past I realized I had nothing else to do in WoW and no desire to log in.

And that I had nothing of interest happening.

And then? And THEN? The world cup.

Yeah there goes 6 hours of my day at least every morning that I don't have school.

A moment here to sit in silent reflection for the goal that was wrongfully taken from the world.

And yeah the WORLD FREAKIN CUP. I'm a soccer fan who doesn't know much about soccer. I'm more of just a fan. I LOVE watching it. I get passionate about teams that I've never seen before. I fall in love when teams overachieve(New Zealand), set new records(Swiss), have Drogba on their team(he's awesome), and look amazing(German first game).

I find new villains and new hates:
(Slovania I didn't even know you had a team a month ago and now I hold everything against you)
(France hah whiners you deserve this[not the nation... you guys I feel bad for])
(Brazil. I'm so tired of how everyone blabs about how awesome you are and you don't even look as good as Portugal or Germany have in their games that I've watched)

And the entire time I'm having to ask Wulfa and friends if "x" was really a foul, what the heck set pieces meant(I know now), why that guy did that and everyone thought it was stupid, and finally how the hell that goal didn't count.

Yeah I'm not knowledgeable but I make up for it in passion and excitement. Yay for the World Cup.

p.s. New Zealand I swear if you win this next game I will love you forever.

p.s.s. My secret unbelievable dream that will never happen? US V Mexico in the final. My section of the world would just DIE if that happens.

p.s.s.s. I watch all the US games but missed the Mexico France game. I was calling a friend to find out the score and when they were up 1-0 I was trash talking because my friend wanted france to win. I hung up and took about 3 steps when I heard this roar from a nearby building. I called him back to celebrate the next Mexican goal.

P.s^4 I want and demand that the following teams advance:

Group C
The US

Group D
Ghana

Group E meh I don't care

Group F
New Zealand and Paraguay

Group G
Is (Brazil 4 - Portugal 0) (Ivory Coast 7 - North Korea 0) a pipe dream? Surely it isn't that impossible? I mean.... I can hope right? Wish upon a star? hahahah I can't even ask for this in a straight face.... but it would be AWESOME...

Group H
Swiss

INSANITY. Day 2.

My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Pedestels

Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
