Yikes, it's been over a month and a half since my last post. Nicky Long is getting lazy. Just kidding, I was already lazy long before this month. In any case, I figured it was about time I posted again considering the little (no) work that I have on my desk right now. We're in the middle of one of the hottest, stickiest summers I can remember. It's one of the things I hate about living on the East Coast. It's not so much that it's hot here, cuz it really isn't. It rarely makes it to 90 degrees except during record heat waves. But the humidity makes it feel like you're in a sauna. Sit outside in the sun for 10 minutes, and you'll break a heavy sweat. It sucks. Fortunately, I'm inside most of the week, until the weekend. And then when the weekend rolls around, I spend a lot of the time at the pool...so I've been staying pretty cool.

Aside from the horrible weather, this has actually been a very busy summer. With all these activities I've been planning, I've been staying busy. I've been going to lots of DC United games at RFK. I've already got premium tickets for the Los Angeles Galaxy game here next month featuring David Beckham. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a mancrush on the guy or anything, but he is by far the most dynamic player in the MLS. Despite his age, he is going to make some things happen. I'm not saying he's gonna become the leading scorer or anything, because that's not what he does. What he will do, is create more opportunities for his teammates to score while showing the American audience why it is that soccer is called the "beautiful game". Additionally, thanks to the "Beckham" rule that allows each team to have up to 2 players with ridiculous salaries, brought in from overseas; we are now able to see lots of stars in the league on all the teams. I've been excited watching DC United as they picked up two brazilians in the last 6 months to add to their roster. These guys have already made a huge impact on the team.

Besides soccer games, it's concert season. I've already got my tickets for the Projekt Revolution tour next month featuring Linken Park, My Chemical Romance, and Taking Back Sunday. I've also already got my tickets for DJ Tiesto in the fall.

And finally, it's been wedding season. Congrats to my friends Long and Erica who tied the knot about 2 weeks ago. That was a fun wedding considering how many of my close friends were there. I drank entirely too much, and with my parents attending too, that was an interesting night. I couldn't be happier for the newlyweds though.

That's about all I got right now, I'll make a more interesting post soon.
