<p>First of fuck the New York Red Bull.</p>
<p>The  name F.C. New York isn&#8217;t bad they could be the Rowdies, or the Rough Riders or Mutiny etc. I think we&#8217;re just not really used to names like that in the States as in AC or FC.</p>
<p>The logo is not bad and I like it as a resident of Queens I find it really cool that they use my borough&#8217;s history, colors, and symbols in the logo&#8230; I sorta wished the would of put the unisphere on there sorta like the sounders did with the space needle. Maybe they&#8217;ll tweak the logo some more.   Guessing from logo I think the colors will be sky blue and white which is nice too because that&#8217;s even more representation of Queens. I would imagine and hope that the team would move to Queens eventually.</p>
<p>Either way I hope it works out cause it would be nice to have a team to watch even if it&#8217;s a shitty team.</p>

<p>To start this off I wear regular straight hang down your shirt ties too, but I love them bow ties.</p>
<p>We should all wear more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_tie"><span style="font-family:mceinline;">bow ties</span></a>, don&#8217;t give me that shit about it looking weird&#8230; those gigantic knots on your tie look weird are you trying to over compensate for something? (<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gherkinson's%20Desease"><span style="font-family:mceinline;">it has a name</span></a>).  So keep those ugly huge tie knots for guys who drive Hummers and wear sunglasses at night AND fake bake. (Gigantic tie knots are NOT windsor tie knots&#8230; gigantic tie knots are those made popular by men in Italy now worn by the likes of P. Diddy or whatever the hell his name is)</p>
<p>Google Bow tie see what you get, there are about 8 to 9 steps to tying a bow tie and you&#8217;re going to mess up really bad about the first 4 to 5 times but keep trying you little heart out and soon enough you&#8217;ll look awesome like a real man.</p>
<p>Where to buy:<br />
<a href="http://www.smartturnout.com/acatalog/Bow_Ties.html"><span style="font-family:mceinline;">Smart Turnout</span></a> My new favorite shop. Expensive but holy shit do they have amazing stuff.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/IWCatSectionView.process?IWAction=Load&amp;Merchant_Id=1&amp;Section_Id=412"><span style="font-family:mceinline;">Brooks Brother&#8217;s bow ties</span></a></p>

<p>**Girls can wear them too as proven by the hottie up there.</p>

<p>My last post  was on November 29th I said that I was going to the Slipper Room to watch burlesque what I didn&#8217;t know at the time is that I would find my now gf there.  Yes, yes me and my gf met at a burlesque show, Caitlin was there with our mutual friend Daria and we exchanged sn started talking and etc. etc. we&#8217;ve been going out for a month and 8 days. It&#8217;s pretty fucking awesome to say the least.</p>
<p>The picture up top is of my favorite goalie <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Howard" target="_blank"><span style="color:#993300;">Tim Howard</span></a><span style="color:#993300;"> </span>he plays for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everton_F.C." target="_blank"><span style="color:#993300;">Everton F.C.</span></a> (which is my second favorite EPL team after <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tottenham_Hotspur_F.C." target="_blank"><span style="color:#993300;">Tottenham)</span></a> long story short I am taking up soccer again and at my god given position goalie.  I played and by played I mean 8 games in 2 seasons in high school before my grades messed it all up (I was good I swear there was just one guy better then me) either way I found this <a href="http://www.nycoedsoccer.com/main.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#993300;">league</span> </a> and I am thinking of playing this spring if not spring then def this summer.</p>
<p>I miss it a lot and can&#8217;t wait&#8230; worst part is noticing how not playing 4 1/2 or 5 years makes you suck.  My reflexes and dynamics are shot&#8230; so I put myself on weight gain and healthy eating diet (Basically more meals, bigger meals and more healthier meals&#8230; and vitamins too.  I eat around 4 eggs for breakfast with toast and waffels and tea and OJ) that&#8217;s to gain weight so I am not 124lbs and can build more muscle (not too much muscle but just enough&#8230; I don&#8217;t want to be big that&#8217;s just creepy) as for the reflexes and dynamics I am already starting a regiment that fits me and will start applying it this weekend.  Why am I doing this? Sure it&#8217;s for the love of the game but I am also hoping that if I am good enough maybe just maybe I can get a scholarship (or some European scout will find me and give me millions Euros to play).</p>
<p>I am still working with the dogs&#8230; I don&#8217;t want to talk any more about that.</p>
<p>School&#8230; fuck that too.</p>
<p>My bike is finally totally completed by that I mean COMPLETELY done (I&#8217;ll add a picture next post).  It&#8217;s pretty cool it&#8217;s got a rack on the back and a racing computer so I can see how many miles and how fast I am riding (I average a speed of 14.3 mph on a flat even surface). Speaking of bikes if anyone wants a Panasonic Villager for $100 bucks it&#8217;s yours. (I have two bikes and no place).</p>

<p>Of course I am late with this but I still have to write it&#8230; I haven&#8217;t been this happy in a long, long while and I am still happy.</p>
<p>I am very mindful that this is going to be a long and slow journey but I seriously think that we picked the right man for the job.</p>
<p>And now for story time, this one is really personal if you know where I come from.  This summer I took a weekend trip to Philadelphia to visit a friend I went out to explore the city saw their great art museum, but of course I went to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall (you have to go if you haven&#8217;t). This is partly why I missed my bus cause I went to the hall either way I went to see the bell and I am walking to the hall take a few pictures from the back of the hall and go around to the front, as I am walking I am running my hand against the side of the building (to me the most important historical building in the country) and I get chills down my back actual chills the amount of history behind those walls. </p>
<p>I finally get to the front and I am looking at it (it&#8217;s raining all day and but I am taking pictures anyway) and I just stand there behind the low fence looking at the building&#8230; and I start tearing up. Tearing up because that&#8217;s where our country started we are far from perfect and there are many things I would change in this country, but in that building on a disgustingly hot few days men committed treason and faced death for something they believed in, they made a new country.</p>
<p>I stood in front of the building with tears running down my cheeks and realized that there is no way I could ever teach European history as interesting as it is and it is my heritage in which I lived in for 9 years, I consider myself an American certain people say I am not but to me I am just as American as they are.</p>
<p>I think American,  I dress American, I eat American, I know the pledge of Allegiance by heart, I know my states senators and representatives, I can recite the beginning of the Declaration of Independence, I know my states signer to the Declaration, etc, etc, etc&#8230;. I am America.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I am back with a concentrated effort to get things rolling on the right track. </p>
<p>What is new in my life:</p>
<ul>
<li>I have finally accepted <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Jesus Christ as my personal lord and saviour</span> that I will not grow in height and I can not grow a beard what so ever.</li>
<li>I sort of somewhat like some one, I don&#8217;t know how to classify it I like her but she&#8217;s far and I have no idea but she&#8217;s nice and etc.</li>
<li>I might be taking <em>next </em>semester off to work some more so I can make tuition quicker, travel around the near NYC area, reading more academic texts.  To answer why I have this to say, &#8221;I feel thin — sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.&#8221; -Bilbo Baggins</li>
<li>I work now&#8230; I walk two Pomeranians in Manhattan here&#8217;s a good hint from a person who knows DO NOT GET POMERANIANS! if your Wife, baby&#8217;s mama, gf, suggests that dog <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">you beat her and you beat her good</span> tell her gently no.</li>
<li> I finished working on my bike just in time when its cold to ride it&#8230; wonderful.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>That&#8217;s all for now. Next time I should put up some pictures or such.</p>
