Today was a really great summer day. Something about July 4th weekend always does that...it's hot out, the cicadas are finally chirping at night, fireflies come out, people bring their dogs with them places.
I rolled out of bed around noon as I heard the last beep of my cell phone saying I'd missed a call. It was Stephen, my soccer buddy, and the first half of England vs. Portugal was already over...shit. So I hauled ass over to Soccertaco and ate some salsa and chicken wings for breakfast. It was pretty gross. Both games were incredible today. Poor England looked so sad when they lost, like their dearest friend had died or something. We switched bars for the Brazil vs. France game, and watched it on the big-screen at Bailey's. Vive la France!!!! Shot some pool, decided after the game to go kick a ball around in the park. Blasted reggae while speeding down the interstate with the windows down, hanging our hands out the window. Visited my Carry-Bug and Ben-Jammin' at their new house. I decided to paint her a picture of some peppers for Carry; I have a painting of hers in my kitchen, of a flip flop. It's the first time I've been motivated to paint anything since high school.
Mmm. I love summer.
