UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

So did the exclimation points get you excited? I haven't gotten the chance to post something new for a while not because I didn't want to or was too lazy to come up with a new post, but its just that nothing interesting has happened to me this summer. Up until last week when I went on vacation in Europe. It was one of the most memorable trips that have taken in a long time. Here's the rundown:

1. Visiting Brussels and Amsterdam: My buddy Ben lives in Brussels and currently works for an organization that is somehow affiliated with the EU government. In fact he had to entertain a delegation from Nigeria the week before I arrived, and oddly they kept calling him Mr. Ben (I keep imagining their voices to be the same as the guy the plays Mr.Ecko/Adabisi, but I think I might just be stereotyping). Anyway, Brussels was a pretty fun, and it was good times all around, but there really isn't anything special/spectacular about Brussels. Amsterdam was quite the experience, I would describe as sensory overload. If you have never been there, I strongly suggest that you go, it is definitely a unique experience. Be prepared to see a lot of weird shit in this city. On the positive side, there are tons and tons of hot REGULAR women walking around Amsterdam, so the scenary is quite nice, and if your single, I am sure that the Dutch are a friendly people.

2. Interlaken, Switzerland: I went skydiving and white water rafting here, so let's just say I had a blast. Then again, anytime I can fall out of a plane at 13,000 ft in the Swiss Alps, its going to be an exciting time. I can still remember it quite vividly, but sadly I didn't pay the extra $150 for the DVD, so I can just replay it in my mind. Totally glad that I did it, and the feeling of freefall is definitely something that can't be replicated. Awesome feeling.

3. Bern: I was just here for a day, and I was able to catch the major sights. Coolest thing in the city; they have a bear pit in just outside the old city. 3 bears live in the pit, and its kind of like the zoo, but way less secure, and I am not sure how more people haven't been eaten/killed. The bears do seem very docile, so maybe they have been trained very well.

Well I am back in Canada for the rest of the summer, and next on the horizon is my Fantasy Football Draft on August 26th. I am totally geeked up for this! I am picking 10th this year, and while it isn't the most ideal position, I believe that I can make it work in my favour. I'll definitely update everyone when my roster is set. The Fantasy Football Draft is better than Christmas just to let you all know how excited I really am about this.
