    Default my walk home from work today

    so i leave work today in a terrible mood walking home i see andy iro on the street with his dog i go up to him and start talking to him i was so nervous i didnt know what to say i told him how i found his mls rookie card the other day when i was cleaning my place. i think he thought i was crazy. anyways my day got better after i talked to him and then i remembered that the super cup would be on again at 630 so that made me even more happy...

    but then...

    2 blocks later near my house from behind i see a red head with big calves walking with a brown short guy next to him to me that could only be two people... it was plata and eckersley i went up to them and shook their hands i talked to ecks for about 5 min and plata was just looking at me i couldnt really understand what eks was saying with his accent again i was so nervous... i dont even know what i was saying to him... all that time i put into becoming a tfc expert over the past 5 years went down the drain because i was so nervous... all i remember saying was please dont go back to burnley. whatever else i said was prob stupid.

    so that was my walk home.
    everything was just so unexpected... something that plays such a big part of your life the stuff you cherish the most and then its right in your face like that in a setting where you normally wouldnt expect it to be...

    What area do you live? You could have told Ecks to try his best not to kick any more balls away in anger especially when you already have a yellow.

    Yeah, I kinda tensed up too when I met them.
    I walked into that training room and Frei looks at least 7' tall, walked past him, up to Plata, did a few interviews with players.

    The whole time, my thought process is "omg omg omg omg this is Plata holy shit"

    It was quite awesome. I walked up to de Klerk, shook his hand, and told him I was a big fan, he looked at me like I had more to say but I was heading out. It's a very foreign experience meeting people you see on the field or on TV.

    Nice! Thats pretty cool, I wonder if they can socialize that well?! But I agree with Armen, im still pretty young and when i wrote an mag article in Inside Soccer Magazine, I interviewed Jimmy B and Laurent Robert, was a great experience! SOOO Nerve racking! I WAS going to interview Ibee Ibrahim til the last minut they didnt allow me, but he was 16 at the time, the age I am at now, and that would have been soooo cool!

    I wish I got to see the players. I only ever see Paul Beirne and Tom Anselmi, but I don't want to talk to them. Although I did see De Klerk, Mariner and Matt Gold while the Dallas game was delayed the other day.

    I remember back in the day I would see Ricketts and Brennan all the time. Got to talk to them.
