Well I had promised that I would post something while I was on this wonderful trip to Barcelona and here it is: Me with my friendly hostel mate Kristian in Placa de Espanya in a sea of about 50,000 people watching Spain win the World Cup Final. This has been the highlight of a trip that has featured trips to the Miro and Picasso museums, a huge amount of fantastic Spanish ham, and an unforgettable meal at a local place during the Germany Uruguay 3rd 4th place match where they only spoke Catalunyan and kept bringing us more and more awesome free food. While this trip has not allowed me to “find myself” or “changed my life” it has been great fun and the best holiday I have had in ages, it will be hard to leave Barcelona on the 20th but I am sure I will be back, if I am still allowed here after my upcoming birthday celebrations.

Andrew W.K. - I Want to See You Go Wild

“Concert Now!”

I was going to write something about this, or quote any part of the lyrics, but my hands got tired from the exclamation points needed.

I am just about to head to bed, but after watching this I do not know if I have any chance of getting to sleep.

I have had a great day. Got my new Chrome backpack and my new dodocase for my ipad, even had two pollo y chorizo burritos for lunch. None of that can even come close to this amazing goal. I had given up, even told my roommate that it was over, the USA would be going home. Then Donovan slotted home what is going to be one of the most famous goals in the history of US Soccer.
