it has been a long time
i shouldn't left you

when i drop my first album entitled, "Stern, still not black," i know ya'll will buy it.
trying to think back to last week and what happened/what i did and i'm struggling. probably because the first half of the week was spent recouperating from very fat/phat weekend. i do remember that on wednesday American coworker/gw alum Seth and i attended a property auction hosted by the Firm. we don't have that function in the states and i have to say, i wish we did. it was interesting. the head auctineer controlled the bidding as over 90 properties were up for grabs that day. imagine a room full of jews, hindus and muslims getting into bidding wars while attempting to buy residental and commercial properties listed at £3 million pounds or less. it was a little international for my tastes. you see, the last auction i attended was for cattle, in some warehouse off of route 15 in dillsburg, pa. instead of international property speculators, we had rednecks, honkeys and fat guys who's stomachs hung lower than their...
i think last thursday i attended some personal growth seminar at the Firm. can't remember. i do recall asking for a mentor. a wish that is yet to be granted. makes sense to me. drinks were had thursday evening with the team. carlsberg was the beer. know that.
saturday team Spencer took what can only be described as a broomstick in the balloon knot as we were handled by Hitchen 17-1. now granted, we were playing with only 10 men, not the number you want in lacrosse since we had zero subs, and naturally being the UK we were playing on some field that was atop a ridge, exposed to the below freezing winds. still, 17-1 is bad. like shotgun to the face bad.
keeping with the pattern of british integration, the Sayias were kind enough to host an all GW party at their place saturday evening. booze and pizza dominated the menu as g-dubs dominated fordham. with that win we deservedly slipped from #6 to #7 in the AP poll.
sunday Pete and i went down to a pub to meet some folks to watch what the hockey final between finland and sweedon. that was the only time i watched the winter olympics for more than 30 seconds this time round. i just don't care. who can care about these absurd sports. everything about the winter olympics is dumb. somebody please post and explain to me otherwise if you disagree. did you hear the hockey final commentary? one of the announcers actually said "oh, superdooper shot by the sweeds." i'm probably the last person on earth to rant on the winter games so i'll stop. happily here in london our week was spiced up with the suspension (which has since been frozen) of our mayor, ken livingstone. wasn't much, he just called a jewish reporter a concentration camp guard. too soon? yeah too soon ken. course, this is the same ken who has sypmathized with palestinian suicide bombers in isreal. top notch city i've choosen. why don't i just pack up my bags, buy a tent and settle on the west bank of gaza? water pressure would be the same.
interesting side note of the week:
got an email from the chick i sold my jeep to. yeah, it was stolen on president's day in capital hill. apparently the cops told her to "relax, it was probably just some kids joy riding around and that they's find it in prince george's county within a week or two." oh yeah, you're car just got jacked, chill out and let others have a turn. jeep down. :(
part of me wanted to respond with, "eh, gas is expensive." best not to i believe.
Amsterdam = Friday
it will be nothing short of heinous, barbaric and obscene. cue cyprus hill...
Dinner with the Roderick Family a few weeks ago, check the hair, still there, and still good:
