l.o.a
October 3 – 2007
After full days of pretending to understand molecular genetics, mostly fulfilling obligations at work, and parenting the shit out of two kids, I’m finding it difficult to sit down and immerse myself in the world of fake soccer-journalism. I could give up the binge-drinking, but one must have priorities, no?
Soccernista, therefore, will be taking a temporary leave of absence. I’ll be back at some point; hopefully sooner rather than later. Until then…
Hope you’ll make it back soon… and should you need any help, I’m sure there are more than a few of us willing to lend a hand.

Well, I can’t speak for Sven, but I was thinking help with producing content on this here blog. That’s kind of like babysitting, I suppose.

C’mon Soccernista… you KNOW you want to post about the Dida suspension!!
Comment by Spectator — October 11, 2007 @ 9:58 pm
Nistabot has determined the following:
$Previous_Max_Douche = $John_Edward;$New_Max_Douche_Contender = $Dida;
if (tetrate($John_Edward) < sqrt($Dida/1000))
then
print $New_Champ_Msg;
Results: "We have a new champion! Dida is now officially The Biggest Douche in the World. Everyone please congratulate him on this historic achievement."

Futbolr Clothing Announces
Spring and Summer Fashion Collection
(Soccer meets Lifestyle Fashion)
New York, NY – (February 29) – Known as football to most of the world, soccer is undoubtedly the most played and beloved sport around the globe. Futbolr, (pronounced \fu’t-,bo’ler\ footballer) a unique and cutting edge clothing line launches its 2008 Spring-Summer Collection. Futbolr offers soccer lovers stylish, trendy and comfortable off the field wear. The collection carries casual and sportswear including: T-shirts, polo’s, hoodies, track jackets and accessories for men, women and kids.
Futbolr was created and designed by former professional soccer players and brothers, Leroi and Mabricio Wilson. Their inspiration for the clothing line stemmed from their frustration in a search for high quality fashionable clothes that represented them. Combining two passions of soccer and fashion, they targeted a growing and under served market by offering these unique fashions to the soccer apparel market through http://www.Futbolr.com. Futbolr’s fresh looks captivate the likes of soccer players and fans from all nationalities.
Soccer players from the Premier League, USA National, MLS, and International teams are routinely spotted with Futbolr apparel off the field. Co-founder of Futbolr, Mabricio Wilson says, “Its exciting to see U.S. National team players such as DaMarcus Beasley, Eddie Johnson, Onyewu Oguchi and Clint Dempsey, to name a few wearing Futbolr. We also spotted Grammy Award winning musicians like dancehall artist Sean Paul and R&B pop star Alicia Keys wearing Futbolr around town.”
Co-founder of Futbolr, Leroi Wilson says, “Soccer is not just a sport for my brother and I. It’s a passion, a lifestyle. Soccer kept us off New York City streets as kids. Our devotion and fervor for soccer impacted our lives, not just physically, but it has shaped who we are as men today. Futbolr is an expression of what soccer means to us, and we hope it translates to soccer lovers around the world.”
The Wilson brothers are natives of Queens, New York with Jamaican, West Indies roots. They started playing soccer as soon as they were old enough to kick a ball. Collectively, the Wilson brothers have over 60 years of soccer experience from Division 1 College, national, and international professional leagues. Soccer has afforded the Wilson brothers the opportunity to travel around the world to Europe, the Caribbean, South America, and Asia. Leroi Wilson is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and lives in Virginia Beach, VA. Mabricio Wilson is a graduate of Old Dominion University and resides in Queens, NY.
With offices in Virginia Beach and New York, Futbolr is sold online, soccer stores, boutiques, and specialty stores. Wholesale inquiries are welcome.

Hey, I’ve got a kid and I manage to handle a decent workload AND serial binge drinking. How about a few posts, Nista?

You made fantastic nice points here. I performed a search on the issue and discovered almost all peoples will agree with your blog. Crib toys are often interactive toys that keep baby amused when they wake up.
