Hours pass...

Today I had a snow day, it was alright. We went to Ming's, and Ming's was a pretty good time. As usual. Then we went to Meyer's and watched That 70's Show, which is less funny the more I watch it. It's just not a very funny show, and it has an obnoxious laugh track. I got excited, because while we were flipping through channels, we caught part of a Dutch-British soccer game between PSV Eindhoven (Which reminds me...try the Google maps directions from Madison, WI to Eindhoven, Netherlands...it's amusing how they have you get there) and Liverpool. It turned out that it was a replay of a a game anyway, but still. I didn't know the outcome.

I just googled it, and Liverpool won 1-0. That's not too shocking. Liverpool is a good team, and actually is now owned by Americans, just like Manchester United and Aston Villa, and possibly Arsenal in the future. Their next game in the championship cup is against Chelsea, who are basically the Yankees of British soccer, along with Manchester United. Go Liverpool, I suppose. Peter Crouch is a great striker (and like 6'7''), but he's British and has stereotype-confirmingly bad teeth. He also does the robot after he scores goals. What a guy.

According to this result, however, that wasn't a replay of the game, or at most a couple hours later than the actual game. I wish we would have watched it.

I've determined soccer for me is like bands for Evan. I think this was determined while I was talking to Evan about this. The comparison is that Evan looks up bands he likes and finds out way more about them than anyone would need to know, and is really interested by it. I do the same thing with soccer...and the similarity is that when we tell people, they are totally disinterested. I guess we aren't up on interesting topics, but to each their own. I'd be a smash hit in England.

Jake Hanke is the only person who shares a remotely similar interest in the topic. I talk to him about "futbol" when we get the chance, I guess he's going to be an assistant coach on the team too? He also has Scrubs seasons on DVD. Score!

That's a really great show.

Hey! I don't have any idea what I even blog about! What did I blog about before? Was my life filled with some sort of drama that I am completely devoid of now? I think I just let everything roll off my back a lot more than I used to. It's kind of a good thing I suppose, because if you never get your hopes too high, they never fall too far. But they also never get to be high, which is bland and uninteresting, just like the good old Blake Samanas blog. Better nothing happen than bad things happen I guess. It all evens out. Life won't bore me out of my mind for long, will it?

Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised.
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised

That's where the title came from?
I read minds?

And the word verification is lakpyatt. Lake Pyatt? It sounds like a real place to me.
