Maria's First Rant and Rave


Hello World! I know that's a cliche as I have no knowledge to whom I am writing and who will be reading my musings.

As for today's musings, being unemployed has its advantages. Thus far, I have been able to watch every single World Cup Game and to the disappointment of all the hypers of the English-USA Game, I found that one to be the most boring one of them all and I fell asleep after the first 4 minutes when the English made their goal.

It is amazing! A world cup - with a real world and not just Boston playing New York City or one American football city, such as the Green Bay Packers playing another football city, i.e. the New England Patriots.

However, in all fairness, FIFA which oversees the World Cup may be one of the most corrupt organizations in the world alongside the New York State Legislature and the U.S. Congress. FIFA forced South Africa to build at least seven stadiums alongside hovels and shanties and did nothing to improve the lives of the native South Africans, not even going through the townships and handing out a few free tickets!

But we love the sport and although the deck is stacked towards Brazil or Germany or Argentina or Italy, etc., it would be wonderful if one of the little guys managed to win the cup!

As for my further unemployment musings, you will just have to come back.

Sleep well until tomorrow at 7 AM and tune in to ESPN for the next game.
