The World Cup

I am probably the only person in the world, who is involved and interested in football, who doesn't care one bit about the World Cup. It is way over-hyped and in my opinion is just an excuse for companies to exploit the "national pride for our heroes in South Africa" and support them all the way to "winning the trophy". For the last few days, I have failed to have a conversation with a single person without mentioning the world cup in some form or another and it is already starting to get on my nerves. It has no personal impact on my life at all so, the pessimist and boring git I am, I can't be bothered to support England. We'll get knocked out in the quarter-finals as usual, and all the pre-tournament hype of, "this is our year!", will be diminished in a cloud of Brazilian dancing or Spanish Flamencos. I guarantee it.

And don't even get me started on those damn horns. Despite not being able to afford food or clean water or a house that isn't made of straw, these Africans can buy a long piece of plastic that sounds like a swarm of bees. Vuvuzelas are they? The instrument of Satan. I am the only person I know who didn't watch the England vs US match earlier, because frankly I needed to sleep, and like I said, my personal being comes before any tournament any day. Apparently Rob Green made a howler but who cares? He's getting his wages and we won't win anyway so it'll mean nothing whatsoever.

I needed to sleep earlier, for a couple of hours, because I had decided to take the, "drink red bull and have no sleep" option for what is definitely going to be the last time I ever do in living history. Did I say that last time...? I got home from work on Friday night, stayed up, went to cricket, won very comfortably and I have to admit I did intend to watch the football, but I fell asleep and woke up 15 minutes before I was due in at work with a banging headache and as tired as a heroin addict on a downer. Tonight's shift was fairly quiet seeing as it was a Saturday night, thankfully, and I got through it all. I am not doing it again though. It is a true killer.

I'm going to bring this post to a premature end. I am drifting in and out of sleep and not even Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz can keep me awake.

Night all x
