Abundantly Talented yet Abundantly Flawed
Hey y'all!
Things have been going swell the last few days. Been pounding away at work at the Cable Box and it's been fun as always. It doesn't hurt that World Cup Football is on and that I find ways to sneak my way near a television set to watch bits and pieces of matches. Now if only I could watch the WHOLE match AND get paid! :P
Today was busy stuffing envelopes with tickets for some people who completed an Ipsos Reid survey. Got to get a gabbing with some of the crew and as always it was entertaining. And because there was a television there I got a chance to not only watch the footie (!), but also in between matches watch old episodes of Saved by the Bell. Why isn't Saturday morning TV as cheesy good anymore?
I'm too tired right now to organize my thoughts into proper paragraphs so here are the odds and ends that I can remember which I thought I'd discuss.....
- Made a bet with my friend of Japanese origin that if Japan beat Brazil this week, I'd become an honourary Japanese supporter for the remainder of the tournament. Though admittedly, I don't know if my gaijin ways would fit in with the crowd!
- I find myself strangely enjoying the Germans play these days. I know I'm suppose to hate them (stupid cheaters robbed Pakistan of the '72 Olympic Mens Field Hockey Gold medal!). For some reason despited usually playing mediocre football, cheating, and playing dirty, they almost ALWAYS find a way to win! These are features I think I shold now be RESPECTING, not trashing! :P
- Ghana has a player named Zanji, which made me chuckle. In Pakistan calling someone with a ji at the end is a sign of respect. And since my brother's name is Zan, I think I know what to get him as a gift. Corny yes, but my brother's such a Black Star!
