I get up around 7, get outta of bed around nine. I wiseman once sang these words. That wiseman was W. Axl Rose. Here's what I don't get... What the fuck are doing waking up around seven Axl? Shouldn't you be partying down on Sunset Strip till seven? Shouldn't you be doing coke off hookers boobs around 5am? That defintely means that you won't be going to bed at seven in the morning. WTF! I could understand "I got to bed around seven and I wake up around nine to get a glass of water so I can take some Advil." But waking up around seven? Axl, c'mon dude. Seriously.

Alright kitty cats, let the festivities begin. This weekend is the lovely Pitchfork festival and next week is Lollapalooza. Once again, it's gonna be fucking hot. With that said, hipsters please don't wear pants to these events. You gotta have some shorts. Or least cut your tight jeans into shorts. I won't mind. And wear some sunblock cause the last thing that I want to see next week is some redfaced, tight jean wearing hipster walking around the streets acting like everything(including themselves)is cool. Got it. Good.

1. Read a funny story about Adam Green right here.

2. How great is the new Rapture single? The saxaphone in that song is amazing.

3. For some reason or another, I'm finding myself enjoying the new Paris Hilton song and the new Justin Timberlake.

I think Zizou needs another cigarette right now. So do I. Worst.day.at.work.ever. I can't stand my boss. If you like where you work and you think you can do better just stay at your job. For every person like you there's a person like me. I can't take it anymore! Anyways...more World Cup talk. So Mr. Italy apparently called Zidane a "dirty terrorist." That's scenario #1. The second situation involves the Italian pulling on Zidane's jersey, the Italian giving Zidane a titty twister, Zidane telling Materazzi that if he really wants to take off his jersey he will give it to him after the game and Materazzi telling Zidane that he would prefer to take Zidane's wife's shirt off. Oh snap! You dirty Italian man. How dare you say that to Zidane! I would have head butt that guy twice. Not once, but twice. Now you can too righthere

P.S. Juergen Klinsmann has stepped down as coach of Germany. Looks like the U.S. has a new coach...

What are we gonna do now? World Cup over. Depression beginning. How awesome was it when Zidane headbutted that guy? What a badass. Despite the headbutt Zidane still won the Golden Ball award making him the player of the tournament. He deserved it. No props to Italy cause I wanted them to lose. Every team that I rooted for this World Cup lost. What am I gonna talk about now that the World Cup is over... Here's a preview of future topics:

*The new Hot Chip-Why is it so good?
*Why going to work is so overrated.
*The new "authentic" Cuban restaurant opening next door to Sonotheque. Mmmmmmm. Black beans and rice.
*My song of the summer.
*Why the French Toast at Dodo(Damen Ave. and Augusta)tastes so good.
*World Cup 2010 countdown.

I'm pretty sure that if I scored a goal in the World Cup my face would look like this. I must say I'm slightly disappointed that none of the teams that I was rooting for made it to the final. Also, at the start of the quarterfinals I would have never guessed that the last two teams would be Italy and France. I'm kind of indifferent as to who I want to win. It would be nice to see Zidane go out on top, but I just can't decide on who to root for. I guess I'll figure it out on Sunday when I'm drunk.

Looks like Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo will not be doing this anytime soon. Fox Sports is reporting that Rooney wants to break Ronaldo in half while ESPN is reporting that everything is fine and that Ronaldo and Rooney exchanged text messages after the game. Ah, text messages. Where would we be without them?

Personally, I don't think Ronaldo could have influenced the ref to give Rooney a red card. It just doesn't work that way. Rooney did kick the guy in the nuts. Intentionally or unintentionally, it did happen. Right in the nuts. Ouch. Anyways, from here on out I'm rooting for Portugoooooooool!
