England – Loving Food, Fashion, & Life

I just love watching Manchester United play soccer/football. The games rarely show on a local television station here so I was pleasantly surprised that it was on one today. I usually have to watch them on a sports channel on cable.

I can be a bit of a nut during gaming season with all the hooping and hollering at the telly, but I enjoy myself SO much! And that’s the point of it really—to have a grand old time enjoying my life, isn’t it?

But, oh, how I love to see them win a game. It’s even more enjoyable then. They won the league last year and in so many prior years. So even though they’re in 7th place in the league so far this season, I have faith in my boys that they’ll hike right back up to the number one spot before the season is over.

Oh, this gets me so excited for the World Cup games this summer!! I’ll be rooting for both England and the USA. They both were lucky enough to get a spot in the World Cup and it pleases me so.

I can already foresee taking off work so I can watch the games “live” in real time—or at least so I can watch England and the USA in real time. It’s more fun that way.

Plus, it drives me absolutely mad to accidentally overhear people talking about the game and who won when I haven’t even seen the game yet!!!!! I don’t even want to accidentally see or hear media coverage of who won or what happened BEFORE I’ve had a chance to watch the game first.

I’d have to cover my ears all day or stay in isolation until I can get home to watch my recordings of the games. I tell you—it’s like walking around on pins, needles, and eggshells all day.

It’s enough to drive me insane before I can get home to watch my recording of the game. So in order to avoid myself going completely coconuts, I’d just rather watch the games live in real time. And with the big time difference there is, I’m sure I’ll be up bloody early in the mornings on some occasions.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, watch your favorite teams play their games throughout the year. Whether at home on the television or live at the stadium and in person is neither here nor there.

Take-Away Life Lesson: It’s perfectly normal to go a little coconuts while watching your favorite teams play during the gaming season. Aw yeah.

Talk about a happy day! I was so excited when I found out Manchester United was coming to my hometown. I finally didn’t have to travel out-of-town to go see them. Yes! I made sure everything was in order immediately:

Tickets bought on the first-day sale—check
Great seats—check
Sexy Man United shirt personally made for me—check
Track players’ flight itinerary—check
Stalk out their hotel—check

No, no—not that last one really. I’m not that crazy I don’t think. I just love them in my own sweet way! Ahhh. I root for them all the way.

And how cool is it that I was sitting directly behind their bench at the game? Yay! I mean, these are my boys after all.

But the only thing I don’t like about watching them play when they come to the States during their hiatus from their regular season is the fact that not all the First Team players are playing. What is that about?

I mean, I want to see the actual players I see on the telly each season who I actually root for when I’m watching it. I don’t particularly want to see the new recruits just because they need some ‘experience’ and ‘practice’ playing with the team during the off-season. I paid money to see the real deal, baby—my First Team BOYS! Don’t mess with me. But at least a few of the First Team guys actually played—just not all of them like I would have liked.

Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United — The one and only–Sir Alex Ferguson

To all my people that know Sir Alex like I do—I swear to God if he wasn’t chewing gum I wouldn’t even recognize him.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, expose yourself to the world of Manchester United and watch a game or two. These boys are good at what they do. Check their stats.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Eventually make it to see a home game at Old Trafford in Manchester, England and scheme to buy the team from the Glazers at some point.
