Thanks in large part to some of my new coworkers, I have become a much more dedicated international football fan. Having the Fox Soccer Channel as part of my cable package is rather exciting, much to my own personal surprise. The World Cup is fighting hard to consume all of my time and despite the fact that our US team is out of the tournament my "#2" has advanced to the second round. Being a rather nationalistic-blooded German (don't read into that, I'm simply very proud of my German heritage), I am taking great joy in the success of the host country. Hopefully I can save up soon to travel there; unfortunately the World Cup in Deutschland fell the same summer that I graduated college and am completely broke.

Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles, über Alles in der Welt.
