I decided to join a fantasy football league this year. I’ve been involved in a friendly weekly pool for a few years now so this year, I thought I would up my game. I love football. It’s one of the many things I picked up while going to college in the States, along with this crazy accent that I just can’t seem to shake. Anyways, since I know a fair bit about football and I’m a pretty avid fan of The League, I figured it would be easy. Continue reading
As I’m sure you can already tell from my previous posts, I often sit and write at various coffee shops. I find the subtle background sounds mixed with the stimulating espresso makes for an inspirational environment. I also enjoy observing those around me. No, it’s not eavesdropping. I like to think of it as observing. I’m pretty much a self-proclaimed amateur Anthropologist. From my observations, I’ve picked up a few tricks of the trade that I thought I would share with you.

I admire a man who can order a frappuccino with confidence. Although they’re often perceived as a less than manly beverage, they taste delicious. Men shouldn’t’ have to stick with black coffee to maintain their manly status in society. They should be able to order whatever delicious treat their heart desires. Too often do I see men hiding behind their girlfriends or sisters, having them order their whipped pink drinks for them. Although I have to admit, it’s pretty entertaining watching their drink exchange in the parking lot.
Oh man, it’s already August. Summer always seems to zoom past way too quickly. Just when we start to settle into a state of relaxation, it’s ripped away from us and replaced with sweaters and brisk afternoons. I guess that’s what you get when you live in the north. The south doesn’t know how good they have it. They’re hanging at the beach long into back to school season (or so I’ve heard). Maybe that’s why we enjoy summer so much. We’re never able to get enough of it. We don’t get enough hot days for us to get sick of it and wish for fall. I mean, fall’s not so bad. The leaves change colours, football season starts up again, and we can once again drink hot coffee on the front porch without sweating. Now, if only we could find a way for time to speed up so we could have summer again.
Well, I finally get to write. I wanted to get at this all day, but I needed to get work out of the way first. That’s the funny thing about work. For most people, it’s generally not something they look forward to. Even if it starts out being something you enjoy, after working the same job every day for a number of years, you often enjoy it less and less every day. I’m sure this isn’t the case for everyone, but from my experience, it happens to more people than it doesn’t. My brother always says that this is why it’s called “work” and not “awesome”.
