Day Two

ok. Today really sucked. I woke up and got ready to pass a good part of the day watching soccer. While my son was eating breakfast, I snuck into the living room and watched the Uruguay/South Korea game. All in all, it was a pretty good game but ended the way I figured it would. Uruguay moves on to the round of 8.

After the game, I had a couple of hours to waste which I spent making lunch for the family and watching the Pokemon movie with Gabe. That little guy has just become infatuated with this movie!

So, 2 o'clock finally rolls around so it's time to watch the USA/Ghana game. I am psyched! 5 minutes into the game, not so much. Ghana strikes hard and early. USA plays it's typical soccer in conceding the first goal and then spends the rest of the game playing catch-up. In the second half, USA is able to score on a PK to tie it. USA pushed hard in the 2nd and had a lot of great scoring chances that they should have converted on. Sadly, they didn't so they go to extra time. Just 3 minutes into extra time, Ghana strikes and scores. Then, for the next 27 minutes, those Ghana fuckers waste all the time they can. From rolling on the ground from phantom fouls to playing a substitute for a guy way across the field, who takes his sweet ass time walking across to get off the field. To make things worse, the faggot ref wasn't doing anything to reprimand them or speed them up. Fail! SO that's 2 of my teams eliminated in as many days. That just leaves me Germany against England on Sunday. Hopefully the Germans will be able to put another sour face on Beckham's face.

I decided to call a couple of other GameStops in the area since on-line, it was saying that they too had a console in stock. I was just wondering if they were suffering from the supposed glitch as well, which (after a few calls), it appeared that they were.

I took the family out shopping afterwards in hopes that the fresh air and change of scenery would make me feel a bit better and help me rid myself of a headache I was getting. In SP, Dawn picked up these awesome cupcakes that were the best I had ever tasted. We hit up Five Below and there was a bunch of Italy and USA soccer stuff =o( After a quick visit to the Pet Co, we went on home.

Once Gabe was in bed and Dawn had cooked us some fantastic cheeseburgers, it was just about time to watch Strikeforce on Showtime. As boring as it was, it was nice to see Fedor get submitted and embarassed. After that, the abscence of my 360 started to sink in. It was still relatively early (for a weekend evening) and yet I didn't have much of anything to do. Ended up spending the rest of the evening flipping channels before just turning off the light and went to sleep.

Hopefully I'll get a call early next week.
