Weird how that is

Friday, July 28th, 2006

For months I have been saving up for my condo. Well the closing date is in 3 days so I have had to go and get a bank draft to give to my lawyer. Well its weird now that I don’t have that large sum in my account I actually feel more relaxed. I guess maybe its the fact that I don’t have to worry about saving up money anymore or maybe its the fact that the money has all been paid for eveything up front and I don’t really have anything to worry about anymore just pick up the keys. But none the less it feels like most of my stress is gone :P

Here are the videos of litlle Italy in Toronto yesterday.

VIVA ITALY!

Monday, July 10th, 2006

That was such an amazing game yesterday. Here are my celebratory pics of downtown. There was crazy things happening a penalty shot right in the begining for France. A nice goal by Italy to tie it up. A goal by Italy that didn’t count because someone was offside(not quite sure what offsiding is). Then a France player (Zindane) who was apparently a fairly classy player for most of his career who was retiring after yesterdays game headbutted someone square in the chest. Got himself a RED card(means your ejected from the game). We don’t know what was said but something was said to make him do that. Then it came to the shoot out which everyone expected Italy to loose because thats what has happened with most of their shoot outs. Well it ended up being 5-3 (because france didn’t take their last shot because they had already lost) but it was soo amazing.

Then we went down to St.Clair and Dufferin and that was just amazing. Such a great party. Even though there wasn’t any drinking or food… or bathrooms…. not too many restaurants or pubs you could get into. However it was great. There was one restaurant that didn’t have any tables but they let us use their washrooms.

I hope to have some video up soon!
