Yesterday I was asked to stay at work for an extra 3 hours to cover for someone who didn't show up. It turned a day that at 9 hours was already long into an even longer day. It wasn't the first time in my life I worked 12 hours. I had done a 13 hour day once while working at Ashford University, but there I was sitting at a desk all day and probably worked for 4 out of that 13 hour day in all honesty. Here I was on my feet for 12 hours and by the end of it I could feel it all over my body. I knew I had a very comfortable job in California and in fact I always said give me this job in New York and theres a good chance I'd stay there forever, but give me that job here in Dublin and I'd be without a doubt the happiest man in the world.

I recently went back and looked at my list of favorite films I posted on here a few years ago to show my Brazilian flatmate that "City of God" was and still is my favorite film. When looking over the list I see a few that have fallen down the ranks since then, I may put together a new list soon.
The Premier League is over and there's a new champion this year with Manchester City winning on the last day. As a Manchester United fan it was extremely difficult to watch the last day of matches, I knew going in we had a very slim chance of coming out on top. I hope losing the title shows United its time to start spending on some big named players once again.
The Mets are doing much better than most people expected this year, I didn't really know what to expect from them this year, when you look at there roster they only have two superstars ones a pitcher and the other a hitter. I wasn't going to get my hopes up for a .500 season even but after a month and a half they seem to be doing okay with a 20-15 record.
