Blog For The Sake Of Blogging

Um, the post title says it all.  I might as well just type, "blah blah blah," post some silly picture, maybe throw in a hot soccer guy picture and call it good. ;)

See, lately I'm struggling with reading, struggling with blogging, and basically just struggling in general. Sigh! :( But I feel so horrible when I just fade away into depression and don't post. And when I'm not even managing to read I don't even have a book to review.

So here it is. My pathetic post about nothing. Did you enjoy it?

How about now?

Because It's Been Awhile

If you guessed this was going to be a soccer post, you guessed right. If you thought I was just going to gush about hot soccer players you're wrong.

After being promised a new episode of House last night, and then finding a boring NASCAR race on instead, I watched for ten minutes while making my dinner. So there I was wondering why on earth anyone would choose to watch this "sport" and was inspired to write this post.

Five Reasons I Watch Soccer (that have nothing to do with the hot guys)

1 A soccer game is 90 minutes long. An hour and a half. Yeah, OK, in knock out stages in some cups it must be played longer if the games tied, but even then, it has two 15 minute overtimes and then goes to penalties so it does end. And all around two hours. That's considerably shorter than most sports.

2 There are NO FREAKING time outs every five seconds! (I'm looking at you basketball and football) The clock starts and doesn't stop till the game is over.

3 Because there are no time outs, there are no stupid commercials. You get to sit down and watch your game and ONLY your game. 

4 Despite what people say about soccer being boring because they hardly score, it's not! Let's consider, shall we? What's more boring? Basketball, where they score so many times it's not even a novelty and hardly worth cheering about, or soccer, where they have to work incredibly hard and use some actual technique and skill to score? Seriously, people.

5 Alright, alright! I can't list five reasons to watch soccer without mentioning the hot guys! I really can't! Thank goodness for the workout regime that soccer enforces to create bodies like this.

Sergio Ramos

Does This Color Bring Out Their Eyes?

Well, they've gone and done it. Here I was all comfortable with Real Madrid's usual white home kit and dark blue away kit when out of nowhere they spring red on me...RED?! So, here I am trying to decide which one I like best.

White

Dark Blue

Red

I guess it doesn't really matter...as long as they keep kickin' butt...and lookin' like this underneath. Right? 

A Few Random Things

Check out those Abs!

First, cause I know you're all dying to know. Real Madrid, my beloved soccer team managed a 1-1 draw with Barcelona on Saturday which is better than losing and important for their confidence. They have to play them three more times in the next few weeks in different competitions and they NEED that confidence. Here's hoping! And as promised a hot picture. This is Sergio Ramos, not the best looking, in my opinion, but what a body! I could have shown a much better view but my mother reads this blog! 

  I just finished Sleepless yesterday and, um. Well you'll have to wait for my review but, wow, Soooooo weird. And I don't know if it was accidental or on purpose.

 This week I have book club and I'm very excited, not because I really enjoyed the book, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, but because I just look forward to it every month. It's a blast spending time with book lovers.

Well, I'm off to exercise and do laundry. What's on your mind this Monday? Do you like Sergio's face, or just his body like me?
