This blog will host my ramblings about life. To be a bit more specific, I'll probably focus on these subjects: music, sports, food, the everyday beauty of life, and the comedy/tragedy/absurdity of our existence. That about covers it.

From a Tottenham Hotspur…
I'm posting in regret of England's terrible loss to Argentina in the World Cup.
In anticipation of the Argentina vs. England World Cup match, here's the Encyclopedia Brittanica entry on the Falklands War . For Father's Day I got this away England kit. Mrs. Nasty got it from OkayJersey , which has great prices. I'm thinking about getting the Tottenham away kit for this upcoming season, and I like last season's home kit for Roma.
