It's been a few weeks since I've last posted. I'm still recovering from the Buckeyes and Cowboys for tanking it when it mattered in critical games. My apologies to to my Brother for being probably the only being on this Earth to frequent my blog. That's all good w/ me though. This blog is as much for me to keep a listing of interesting experiences in The Motherland, as it is for peeps back at home to keep an eye out on me.
Well, as most Americans celebrated another holiday w/ a day-off, I again spent it working. MLK Day came and went (as did Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day) w/ me in the office as Vietnam doesn't celebrate the great accomplishments of this man. I started it off however w/ a tribute to Dr. King by playing The Boys, "Crazy Dream", a nice little jam from back in the day! I doubt if anyone even remembers that one...I'm as old school as it gets, so I don't expect you to know it! But if you do...count yourself in as a connoisseur of old school hip-hop!
That's all for now...I promise to post again in a few hours as I originally wrote this draft about a week ago!
Peace!

GAMEDAY in Vietnam!
It's finally here: Gameday! Yes, the 51-day wait is over and tomorrow morning (Monday Night for Westerners) my beloved Buckeyes will take on the Gators for the BCS National Championship! I will be taking a sick-day for this one. Don't tell anyone...oops, I guess I just did.
Following my favorite sports teams has been somewhat of a challenge. Actually, watching has been relatively simple (thanks to my trusty Slingbox)! It's just the staying-up factor that has been hard. This past Sunday, I woke up a 2AM local time to catch the Ohio State v. Illinois basketball game, in which the Bucks easily handled Illinois. I went to Mass at 6AM, had breakfast w/ the family and then hurried back to my place to watch Tony Romo and the Cowboys botch a last-second field goal in the NFC Wildcard Game. Suffice to say, I spent the rest of my Sunday afternoon taking a long needed nap.
Tomorrow morning's routine will be somewhat similar. I'll be rolling outta bed at about 5:30AM. Freshen up for the morning and throw on my Scarlet and Gray attire. Go grab some Vietnamese noodle soup for breakfast, maybe throw down a Vietnamese Ice Coffee or two, and then roll on back to the crib for the pre-game show.
The only downer is that I'll be watching the game by myself! Most of you reading will know how big of a fan I am and the Buckeye bashes that my roomates and I would host. I will still be screaming and acting like a fool...maybe even as much as my brother (fyi...Rated R-for expletives!) was during the Meatchicken Game! I will be watching with you all in spirit! Buckeye Spirit!
I promise to upload more pics here or on my picasa folder or another medium once I am able to backup my files to my external hard drive. I've just been lazy to do it and probably more honestly have no idea what I'm doing!
I will be back after THE GAME to post game breakdowns and analysis! Until then, GO BUCKS!
BTW....Mount Union College, my alma mater, posted their 9th National DIII Football Championship in 14 years!
