Both the 3rd place and Final games of the FIFA Confederations Cup were some of the best international soccer I've seen in awhile. The US up 2-0 at half was a shocker, but Brazil is too good of a team, they simply imposed their will over the US in the 2nd half. Good showing from the US, but I'm not getting my hopes up for 2010.
The 311 concert was fun. We were in the first handful of people through the gates and got right up against the barriers in front of the stage, a bit right of center. I'm sure my ears hate me for being directly in front of some massive speakers. The sound quality being up that close isn't great, but the rocking out factor was very high. Good times overall. Hopefully the ringing in my ears will subside in the next couple days and at least go back down to the normal volume tone I hear all the time. Anyways, didn't feel like updating this page last night after getting home, just wanted to go to sleep and rest from standing all night.
I had to miss out on my team's final soccer game because of the concert on Sunday. They lost 6-3 to end up 3-1-8 (W-T-L) for the season. Eh. It's exercise and social interaction. That's all that matters anyways. Fall season starts in August.
I'll be going back to MI in the middle of July. Mish has to go back to get a permanent crown on a tooth, and I figured may as well make a trip back while I have the opportunity. The only non-xmas trip I've made home in the past 3 years was a funeral in '08. It'll be half as cheap for me to rent a car and drive us both up than it is for one plane ticket for her, so it's cost efficient as well. Ah yes, August of '06, the last time I was unemployed. That's how it goes.
Not much else going on in my life. Just revisiting the same rash of neurological and psychological retardations I've been having since you've known me. They are stupid, and I'm stupid for letting them affect me so much. I'm sure I'll return to normal (i.e. "less retarded") at some point. Some days, I'd just rather not leave my bed.
Later.
