Football, Loving my city, Melancholy

I just watched a Berlin Thunder (American Football) game at the Olympic Stadium here in Berlin. It was pretty fun, and we won. I guess they have won the Europe Cup each year for the last three years. It was fun too see people get excited about something they didn't even really understand. Don't get me wrong; a lot of them are hard-core football people and they know a bunch about it, but there was a lot of people who didn't cheer until the announcer told them exactly what had just happened on the field. Kind of surreal in any case.

On my way home I got a really long look at the city, from the old west to where I live over in the east. I really like the city, and I love that there is so much I still have to see here.

I can't explain the melancholy, but I just feel like kind of a jerk lately. It has been a while since I have actually done anything nice for anybody. I'll be fine, but I just don't feel at my awesomest.

You haven't really had people around alot lately, makes it a little harder to be helpful. But it is really just a matter of letting people know you re thinking of them. So, call Birgit and don't forget to send her a card or take her to a movie for Mother's Day. Email Bierman's - you know they love that. It really is the litle things that make a huge difference.
By the way, since when did you like football? I would have pegged you as one of those waiting to find out when to cheer!

It's funny that your American football team is the Thunder and our European football team is the Thunder. Well, maybe funny is too strong a word. But I'll be damned if this isn't evidence of something.
