The Messiah of Morris Avenue
Alright, stepping directly into the YouTube World of Video Embedding - let's see if this bad boy works...
Wowsers. In case you live in a cave and/or America, that's Zinedine Zidane, French captain and one of the best soccer, sorry football, sorry, soccer players of modern times. Dude is a complete wizard with ball control, shots, clutch plays, and, apparently, headers. That "play" occurred with 10 minutes left in the second OT of the World Cup Finals... let's all let that sink in for a second, really. World Cup... Final game, double OT, about to go penalty kicks, you're the dude who takes all in-game penalty kicks for your team... and you do that? It doesn't matter what the Italian defender said about his mom, girlfriend, family dog, his children, whatever - that's *ridiculous*!!! Not to mention assault. And really, kinda awesome - you don't see someone decleated with a header every day. Also if you live in a cave, Italy went on to win the shootout and the World Cup after France dominated them for the last 60 minutes of the game. So on several levels, Zidane blew it, and that Italian guy, whatever he said, just played the ultimate head game. Ha.
So we got that pleasantry out of the Finals yesterday. Jill came over yesterday morning and Beck, Jill and I took the Wrigster to Upton State Forest for some fun and mudbaths. Nothing quite as crazy as last time, mainly because Wrigley also jumped in some cleansing lakes. We got back just before kickoff and grabbed some pizza and beer for the big game - Ben made his way over to watch the most popular sport on earth, and we had a great afternoon up until that thuggery took place. Capped the PM with a little Robot Chicken, which as suspected is right up Ben's Ali. Couldn't resist. Great stuff, had a great time with Jill, too, who's doing excellently between dates and rotations. Everyone left for showers at about 5:30.
At 6:30 Beck and I met the Wolf-Sprechers and headed to Green Bamboo for some great Vietnamese food, decent Vietnamese service and lousy Vietnamese drinks. But a good cheap find by the Beck. Capped that meal with some Shoops and Skirts, involving copious amounts of ice cream and some sailor-speak from the Ali. Ben was rather appalled by all accounts. Nutzo.
We came back, fun times per usual. Beck headed into school this AM, so I read, attempted running (heel felt great while running, not so much right now) and all in all had a chilly day with the dogs. Chilly as in "we chilled out," groggy as in temperature. But 'twas all good.
Alright - more writing! More reviews! More awesomeness! It's the Summer of George!!!
