I'm in football heaven right now,....(man you gotta take the good with the bad Chula, I mean last week you were down in the dumps: I know, I know)

but I guess the lads won 5-0 y-day, which was a treat, I mean this 17 yr old kid named Danny Welbeck came on late in the game, & scored a blinder, I mean a laser beam, "fantastic futuristic freak" is what I was saying to myself. but Hull city & Manchester city are locked up like 2-2 right now, proper football atmosphere. speaking of,.....I went to American football again last night. I mean I love the company, these are qualities mates & all, but the UK cats lack a friggin' spine, ya know? oh well, something else,.....we Americans love to BOOOO people. I've never been across the lake (which is a total dream of mine, I mean totally, on a differen tlevel to go over there & walk those streets, & experience, & live & breath & such, but i digress,..) but I know a little about that culture & these are some srrious supporters of a club slash team & we all know what went on in the 70's & 80's with hooliganism & mindless ridiculous (& what I sometimes call "alex behavior") but, but, but, even with all of that, you don't hear a lot ofBOOO-ing over there. & that is what it is, I guess I mean this ref last night "gifted" the game to the visitors I mean wrapped it up on a Christmas serving dish, & theseLex-tonians just BOOO'd all night long, now across the way they would chant "the referees a wanker, the referees a wanker" all night long, which i think is quality & more intelligent & better, but you know me, & you know that I am partial. But here is anothe rlesson I learned. do not, i repeat DO NOT!! wear chuck taylor's outside in 30 degree weather for 4 or more hrs. you might be able to get away w/it for 1 or 2, butjust don't put yourself in that kind of pain. oh these needles,.....oh ya & had some sushi with some nice company lastie as well, it warmed my heart, brought back nothing but fantastic memories. but I'm off for now, ( i may or may not have made another (what i think is a) good mixtape) oh ya the Rome derby comes on later,..Yes!!
