nosy! so nosy! ha ha ha

i write and produce media— mostly video & animations these days though i used to do other stuff (web, print, etc)

and im a freelancer so i have... freedom! and... more freedom i guess! not a lot of money or security in tha tha ha ha. but i do enjoy slacking at will. slack is important for me.

so don’t make a lot of dough— but i manage it well (personal finance used to be a side gig of mine, then i got bored with it once i learned what i wanted)

past couple of years (or 4?) i’ve been doing it part-time with only select clients, while experimenting with farming/ranching/permaculture and other nonsense. which has been educational and all kinds of fun.

but lately things have changed in a way that clarifies some things— so i’m looking into a return to full-time production work and other related ventures. and we might move back to an urban area.

still freelancer and still trying to maximize slack— but the setting up of such systems takes time and effort. then set-it-and-forget-it, sorta, maybe. hmmmm...

but yeah.. that’s what i “do”.

im not glad for pep, he’s more interesting when he suffers— but i read this morning (old news) that the man city payroll had gone up 25% under him. so— it’d better work.

not suprised that liverpool’s defence is floundering— it’s kloppo after all! same trajectory as in dortmund. o well. it’s nietzsche’s eternal return.

I don't really have any memories of DeBruyne at Chelsea as he hardly played. I never followed him in Germany either so, tbh, my real introduction to him was at Man City. Either way he's on fire there now and Pep seems to have found a system where him and other key players can now really shine. That clip H8kurdt linked is what they're doing to teams time and time again this season. Plus Pep seems to have tightened things up at the back too.

As for Klopp, talk at the moment is about how (shock horror) he appears to have made a tactical change (!!!) - from a possession based 4-3-3 to what's being described as a more counterattacking 4-4-2/4-2-2-2 hybrid. We've yet to see how successful it is (especially in terms of bolstering the defence) or if he even sticks with it, but it does at least show he's not completely stuck in his ways.

In other news, Hope Solo has accused Sep Blatter of squeezing her bum at some award ceremony. It's being described as a sexual assault. I'm not sure about that but it does look like the fallout post-Weinstein is just gonna build and build.

Ah, just soupin', man, just soupin'. It's clear that in terms of enjoyable fútbol, it's better to have the Peruvian team in Russia than the New Zealanders. And fuck Chile anyways — they became arrogant drunken douchebags and any team that arrives at the very last game of the qualifiers with the necessity to BEAT BRAZIL IN BRAZIL (!) doesn't deserve a World Cup spot.

i think *any* south american team deserves a spot over any oceania or asia team for the most part.

the way confederations get spots and fifa has sorted this does not reward whoever plays best.

okay maybe bolivia isn’t better than every team from oceania but even ecuador or paraguay (ok i havent seen paraguay in a while...) should be there before whatever nonsense other continents are fielding.

conmebol is the toughest damn qualifier on the planet. and i’m of the school that whoever beats me best be champion. we gotta cheer for brazil now, hell yeah. or whoever has the best chance at beating europa.

sad for italy though— a legend— what the fuck happened?

No Holland either, but Italy are the big shock. I never watched their qualifiers but reports are saying Ventura kept playing people out of position, as well as issues with basic team selection and changes in formation mid campaign. The usual stuff really. Also, they're probably really missing Pirlo. What team wouldn't? Either way, for me Brazil, Germany and Italy are the great World Cup teams, so one of them not being there will certainly feel weird.

yes. funny thing argentina almost lost it too. they may not have brazil’s record but they’re the other south american powerhouse and always a contender for the title. and they only qualified i believe in the final date.

speaking of south america, peru beat new zealand 2-0 on aggregate and so it will be the 5th team from those parts.

another anomaly as you know is the usa is out. not a great team by any means but people here were so accustomed to going in recent times it’s been a humbling lesson.

Jeez, Moyes has one game and already the fans are on his back. I actually don't get the ridiculously over the top comments from people saying he's a terrible manager. You could have got any manager in that Sunderland said and it would have gotten relegated. The rot had long been festering in that team.
I dunno, maybe I'm biased as an Everton fan. But I don't forget the amount of times he managed to eek out a decent squad from pretty much nothing.

Maybe some idiots on social media are taking swipes at Moyes but I can guarantee the vast majority yesterday were aiming their anger at the owners (Sullivan and Brady in particular) and players like Andy Carroll. But it's mainly the board. You really have to know what they've done to the club since taking over to appreciate the level of hatred towards them. At worst, Moyes is getting some flack just because he represents our owners' doing their usual thing of talking big ideas in public then going for the cheapest option they can manage. Moyes was willing to take the job at £10k a week, a fraction of what all the other candidates wanted. Surprise-surprise we get Moyes.

You look into the dealings of West Ham's owners and you really are looking into a football-shaped abyss.

Yeah, I understand that. I remember there was a bbc documentary about them last year, or was it the year before?! Just highlighting how many morons are running West Ham. Problem is if you've wanna-be del boys running a club shit's gonna hit the fan. But hey, t least you don't have the Oyston family running your team. I hate Blackpool and all the six fingered wankers from it, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone

Reckon you'll scrape relegation?

It's in the balance. Right now I'd say only Swansea look worse than us. I'm trying to be positive though. If Moyes can get some belief and organisation back, and sort out the fitness issues, our starting XI does look decent, but he needs to work fast.

What do you think are your chances of getting Silva? He looks quality.

Hmm, I dunno. I don't see him coming to Everton tbh. The owners of Watford will look totally ineffectual if they let him go after, what is it? three months? The new odds favourite is LVG which would bring a tear to my eye. From one cold ass, moody dutchman to another.

However, if he does join then he's a lot of work to do. As Moyes does at West Ham.

Anyway, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE NIGHT! Going for the Liverpool game I think. Although the Dortmund/Spurs game could be another good one.
