David Beckham - Welcome to the US

I know, all the Summer fans are dying to know what I'll post today - the day that David Beckham officially held the LA Galaxy jersey for the first time (because you all know what a big fan I am).

I'll admit, I played into the hype. I waited until today to order my LA Galaxy David Beckham jersey (which is, incidentally, BACKORDERED) just so my sale would count toward the hype. I rushed home to watch the replays of the press conference. Tonight I wore my Manchester United Beckham jersey. Tomorrow I'll wear my Real Madrid Beckham jersey. I have the DVR set to record the Beckham reality show on Monday night.

He is a very good looking man.

Don't get me wrong - I love the futbol. I love Man United. I root for the USA and England in the World Cup. My dog is named Owen Beckham after Michael Owen and David Beckham. Until recently, I had a subscription to United magazine (the currency conversion got a little too heavy for me). I watch all the matches I can. I have people over for the significant matches - derbys and such.

I've also seen Beckham play for Manchester live, IN Manchester, which was cool. Is he the greatest? Probably not. Is he pretty fucking good? Hell yeah. I like that when people give him shit and try to make his life a living hell, he always rallies and does something amazing - becomes Captain of the English team after a horrible sending off in the World Cup, help his team win the Primera Liga in Espana after being told he was never going to play again. The man kicks ass. In a very unique-studied-by-physicists sort of way. I like that.

And he's very pretty.

Are you going to go to see him play when he comes to Columbus?

Conveniently, the only tickets available for the LA Galaxy match against the Columbus Crew were part of a 3-Match package.

They weren't all that expensive (in my opinion) but I wasn't able to get the financing approved (if you catch my drift).
