You should've seen this guy eat. Tongue like a bullet.

Can you believe the big one started out like this?

Lots and lots of lettuce

Can we buy it?

no, please not diego

please excuse me while I rattle on about soccer. (that foreign sport) 

i hated basile and his undecipherable player choices, but i just wanted to cry when i heard diego took over my beloved seleccion. so many other good coaches to choose from: bianchi, batista, simeone. talk about a guy who just feels he's entitled to anything he doesn't earn. guess we should all bow and worship the self-proclaimed 'hand of god'. 

and his crazy message of how he's going to only choose players that 'play with heart' just shows we'll be counting on divine grace to see argentina through the qualifiers. and heaven forbid messi crosses him again after suggesting batista would have been a better choice. 

what kills me is that he gets a crack at the job now, after argentina's beautiful show at the world cup and in china. u take the greatest team on earth and give it to this undeserving nutball. i'm hopeful. very hopeful in diego's right-hand man bilardo. i did like diego's (or bilardo's) last choice of players much more than basile's. maybe we'll see some success. and if not, maybe i'll just be satisfied in saying, 'i told them so'. 

marcelo bielsa is the best coach in the world, so get used to saying, "¡aguante chile!"

Talents to Recognize

Torie's advertising skills -

Today she gave me a advertisement today that read: "Are you unhappy and need to get away? Then call Torie and Victoria's tippady tappaday toes. Number Do Dae Do Yell Fun in the Sun." So cute!

Aster's creative story line skills -

Today he put together little cartoons he made for YouTube that he made using a stick figure animation program. He makes these cartoons on paper all the time.

Kelsea's time-management skills -

Not only does she wake me up each morning like an alarm clock ("Dad! Time to wake up!"), today she presented me with a schedule of when I was to watch a program with her and at what time I was to study for my test.
