Company softball game. My team lost miserably.
We guzzled down beers, scarfed down chicken wings and fries, dipped carrots and celery and demolished a bag of chips with our grubby hands only to see Canada lose to the Russians. Gained a few pounds while our country smouldered into ash.

Hammer to Fall - Queen.
I can’t help it. This song is my soundtrack right now. It’s fierce. It’s heady.
Saturday meant taking in another TFC game, and once again chasing the sunset. That’s how I look at my life right now, like a perpetual sunset. I don’t even know what that’s suppose to mean. Later that night meant climbing through a window to wish someone a happy birthday, and hammer down a tequila shot that wouldn’t quite sit in my mouth.
You can’t forget the late night steak and eggs munch down at the Griddle either. Classic.
Now I’m about to begin a mad shift of a working day: almost 24 hours straight.
I’ve got work to get done, because once I knock it out of the park, I’ll just be feeling exactly like this:
Vanessa Paxton went skydiving after raising funds for Lyme disease. She posted this video of her jump last night, and it seriously took my breath away.
Tacky Hall & Oates cover aside, this vid makes me want to skydive even more. It’s something I’ve been wanting to cross off of my bucket list forever.
Elena and I had the chance to see our first TFC game last night. I’ve been wanting to go for so long, and my boss gave us tickets plus his kick ass seats (see photo above).
We were originally suppose to go around the time of G20, and because of the protests that day, we decided it was safer to stay uptown instead. In an awesome move of awesome customer service, TFC was refunding those game tickets for new ones. So my boss got us a new pair and we joined some awesome co-workers for an awesome soccer match. Awesome.
Enjoyed warm up pitchers at Maro on Liberty Street (Amsterdam Blonde for $12) and then marched like hooligans down to BMO field.
Toronto won, and it was a big deal because in its infancy, Toronto’s soccer team has a long way to go, but it was awesome to see it all go down live.
It’s amazing to see such wild excitement for a sport in Toronto, regardless of how the team is performing. Everyone is so wrapped up in the culture and the wildness of it all. They’re just having fun and that’s awesome. I like seeing people go ape shit over their sporting teams, rather than just shrugging them off as overpaid, untalented hacks.
The hollering, the chanting, the stomping—I wish I had season tickets.
