but i feel like strangers has a very scary connotation, so let’s call them…
new acquaintances.
i was talking to a new acquaintance the other day at target and we started talking about eurocup. i told him that i was mostly in it for the hotties.. but that i thought that soccer was pretty cool too. he recommended a movie. and now i am recommending it to you.
so from one of my new acquaintances and me, to you.
there is something special about sports. it brings people together.
lately i have been glued to the tv from 9am-1:30 pacific time to watch soccer. (this is probably due to the fact that i have NOTHING to do… and have a 65″ television which makes anything look good)
wait.. soccer?
yeah, soccer.
i was reintroduced a little while ago.. and really took a liking to it.
let me tell you why:
the goals are so special. the feeling you get when there is a goal is unlike anything else. it’s exciting. my toes curl. and i can’t help but smile.
on the contrary, there is something special about good defense and a good save as well.
today while i was watching spain and ireland i felt something i had never felt before. ireland was getting demolished. the score was 4-0 in spain’s favor. but the irish fans started singing. they started singing to support their team and their country. i felt like i was a part of something bigger. like i was connected to the irish. to the world.
i wonder what they’d think if they knew i was including them in a blog post together.
i wonder what andy rooney would say about justin bieber’s new song: boyfriend. probably the same thing that he says about modern art in the video below:
