A Yank in Europe

In October 2008, I left the U.S. to spend a couple years living abroad, bringing nothing with me except clothes, a handful of dollars, and an 8x10 photo of David Hasselhoff. Along the way I've starred in a German Burger King Commercial, drank with the U.S. National Soccer Team, and taken ATVs through the deserts of the United Arab Emirates. You may call it random, I call it everyday life.

Merry Christmas to all...except the New York Jets


Just wanted to wish all of my friends and family back in the United States and here in Europe a merry Christmas. While this is the first time I won't be celebrating Christmas with my family in Michigan, I get to instead celebrate my first Christmas with my girlfriend here in Berlin. So a good trade off.

On another note, I hope every single member of the New York Jets got coal in their stockings for Christmas. After losing 13-3 to a joke of a Seattle Seahawks team, they now have to beat the division leading Miami Dolphins in their last game and pray to the football gods that a few other teams lose in order for them to have a shot at making the playoffs. For a team that started the season 8-3..and is now 9-6...this is a typical Jets collapse in the making. All I know is that I'm glad I'm not in the U.S. to witness this collapse and that I don't get as mad about the Jets losing as I used to (and certain former college roommates can attest to).

Good wishes to all of you and I hope you all have a great day. I know I am.

Cheers.
