My American Football

So its been a while since I have wrote anything and I know my fans have been on the edge of their seats, checking this blog daily. Slowly, I have been making my extremely small dorm room into my room with some small furnishings. I have also got some pots, pans and plates so that I can make meals instead of spending all my money on eating out. However, most of the times I stick to leftovers given to me by relatives or sandwiches/pita with hummus and deli meat, I also bought one of those seen on TV choppers and use it to make salads. This past week it snowed in Jerusalem and there was a mad rush by Israelis and tourist to the city to see the snow. However, I came to Israel to get away from the snow and had no urge to see the dreaded white substance, so I stayed in Tel-Aviv while some of my friends went to Jerusalem to see the snow.
A friend of mine got a job serving at a English style pub near the beach so I whenever we go out now we go to where she works. I have been there so many times the past week and a half that I feel that I am starting to become a regular.
Last night was Super Bowl Sunday/Monday. A small microbrewery (the dancing camel) located in Tel-Aviv was hosting a superbowl party that for 20 dollars you got all you can eat and drink. Needless to say I took full advantage of the hospitality of the place and got my moneys worth of food and especially drink. A group of friends arrived there 10 local time and the game didn't start until 1:30. The food was sub-par but the four types of beer were good and by the start of the game I had a good buzz going. The first quarter of the game went by really fast and all I was rooting for was for the patriots to score a touchdown by the end of the quarter so my box would hit (boxes for my readers who don't know is a means of gambling on the score of the game with complete randomness). My box ended up hitting for the score at half-time and I was exited not only from winning but for Tom Petty (hoping he would play American Girl...a classic jammy jam). Though this was a high point in the night for me I began to get tired and crash hard. It was 3:30 in the morning and I had no energy left. I took my winnings, tipped the bartenders and left for the night with a pocket full of cash and big ... stash.

Aviad,
I really hope it was either your hangover or exhaustion that was talking, because I have a real concern about your $40K+/year education - "I have wrote..." and "I have also got..." Or maybe your Ivrit has gotten so good that you forgot how to write English?? Maybe you should have gone to Jerusalem - I'm afraid Tel Aviv's heat might be giving you heat stroke.
Love you always!

Yo,
your mom cracks me up, i must be retarded because i not only thought
your blog was entertaining but extremely well written. Man, school
really has me chasing my tail but thats a good thing, and took a drug
test for Yosemite yesterday, didn't make any provisions to pass but
we'll leave that at the fate of God. Ironically I got my hire papers
from Yellowstone right after i took the drug test, so i don't know if
thats supposed to mean something. Anywho, my photo skills are becoming
quite blinding my friend, got my first freelance job last week for some rappers album, I got payed dog shit but it felt amazing to get payed
for doing something that I not only enjoy but that I'm good at as well.
Been busy but really good, Olivia's doing well, she's not swimming with
Big Pussy quite yet. Love ya man, hope your doing amazing, and stay safe. Oh yeah, your not suave. At all. Quit living a lie.

Perhaps I should consider starting a blog in the comments section of your blog. It would be influential to the few who bother to read your blog.

we want more. When you have a fanbase, you need to keep them appeased. Feed me more of the delicious oatmeal that is your life.

I'm a little sad to learn that my brother is rooting for the team that destroyed the Eagle's hopes of winning a superbowl- 'nuff said.

By the way, I agree with Jake, you need to write more often, it is the highlight of my day day.

By the way, Jake, are you in Chicago yet?
