Here's the goal that helped the U.S. beat Mexico in the Gold Cup Final last Sunday. Just another reason why soccer is the beautiful game.

I Figured I'd Post Something

Wow... 3 am... it's like destiny...

Well, barring a misinterpretation of the ultrasound, Joseph Noah should be joining us sometime around Thanksgiving. Em has a very cute bump showing. We went to Indiana this past week to visit Em's sisters, Julina and Elise, and took in a bit of the Hoosier State. For fun, watch Breaking Away and I saw every stereotype in that movie, except the biker I saw wasn't speaking Italian (as far as I know).

I'll be honest with ya. That's all I feel like writing for now. So catch y'all later.

On my new title

It came to me today while driving home from Columbia. I can't quite remember how it arrived, but it happened all the same. It only makes sense that monkeys be the evil perpetrators of this heinous act, as everyone knows that brain stealing is what they do (they're trained by pirates and then the brains are sold on the black market.) I have no hard evidence for these claims, because it was all in my brain, and that is gone.

As for the penguin accomplices, it may seem odd that they team up with monkeys and pirates for this rather lucrative enterprise, so allow me to explain. It started with the Penguin that stole Bud Light while singing "Strangers in the Dark" (hence the "Doo Bee Doo Bee Doo.") After those commercials disappeared (at the time they made no sense) the penguin went underground and the seeds of the "Great Penguin Conspiracy" began. First this tuxedoed avian Sinatra, infiltrated Central Park Zoo, where he convinced his fellow penguins to escape. After a first botched attempt, they then hijacked a freighter to Antarctica. While only there a short time before leaving for Africa, they were filmed in a documentary by the French (no doubt they're involved in my cerebral snatch as well) and also taught the penguins to sing (easy seeing how the lead man was a pro) but also taught them to surf.

After leaving, the penguins that were left behind began to work on their singing, to the point of turning it into a form a worship. Well, one penguin couldn't sing, but started to dance, and this in turn swept the penguining world, because they could use it as a form of communication with humans. And as the human influence increased, for did that of surfing, and surprisingly, that of chickens.

Now, after that, I'm a bit hazy, but somewhere along the line, they run into pirates and monkeys, and struck a deal to distract those now devoid of brains.

So be on the look out, brain theft is silent and sudden, so always hold onto the back of your head while walking through penguin exhibits or while watching them on TV or in a movie. Don't let this heinous crime happen to you!!!!!

My head hurts

My mind is wandering in the most fantastical ways.

At any moment, in any room disaster could strike... so is the way of 11100 Acute Care Medical this early morning. I should've taken a shower today. Is there anything a mime can't do? Paul, what should my alt be? Should I read Children of Hurin, or just skip it and read something more summer-y? Foxtrot is the greatest comic-strip since Calvin and Hobbes. Armpit hair is wierd, it's so soft. Why don't they sell candy bars in our cafeteria, but they do at Children's? Why is "Mud" such a bad name to have? Why do different countries that speak the same language have different swear words? And who really has the accent? If I was stuck, upside down, in a rollercoaster for 1/2 an hour, would I do things to freak out the other riders like scream "I felt the track give!" and would it still be fun to put your hands over your head? Will Lebron save the NBA? Does it really need saving? Why do I care, I'm not a fan of basketball anyways? How bad is the NL Central? Only the Cubs could spend $300 million, and still suck. When my Mom reads that, will she roll her eyes at the last word? I wish I was sleeping. Uh-oh, patient calling. I'm back, aren't you excited? I'm going to take something for my headache when I get home. We just switched to our summer blanket. You can leave comments, even if you aren't a on blogger. What's with my avatar and spiders? The end of the last Pirates movie stank, but I liked the Monkey and Geoffry Rush. I think all period sea movies need more cannon battles, Master and Commander could've used 2 more. Would Shakespeare like Westerns? Would he write one? I mean why not, he wrote about a lot of things. I've never seen a Clint Eastwood Western all the way through, or John Wayne for that matter. I should probably stop and work...Good night

Pirates, and Trrransforrrmerrrs...ARRR!!!!

My pirate name is:

Bloody Roger Flint

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Behold, my Pirate name! I like how I'm "Bloody" Roger Flint. Not only is it fun to say, and hint that I'd be a violent pirate, but "Bloody" is also a swear word in England English. Yay! Also we're going to brave the almost 3 hours of the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie, so getting my name today has a deep significance.

Earlier today, we took my bro, Pete, shopping for some much needed after-mission duds. One thing led to another, and the only belt we could find that fit what he was looking for was in Hot Topic. When we were leaving, Peter noticed a Transformers display, and they had retro t-shirts of Soundwave!!!! So we went back in, and saw they had Optimus Prime and Starscream too! Being more of an Autobot than a Deceptacon, and that I have an Optimus Prime action figure, Optimus Prime was the no-brainer pick. I'm wearing it now.

And to end things off, here's a clip from the movie
