Favorite Video Game of 2009
Introduction
I didn’t get to play too many video games this year, unfortunately. The first few months of ’09 saw very little spare time for me. In fact, time spent gaming has gradually decreased since my freshman year of high school. At that time, I got a job that occupied a sizable amount of time on weekends; in addition, the amount of schoolwork I had shot up big time. As the years passed and school got harder and I got more jobs, free time to game approached nil. That leaves me where I’m at now. I get a chance to play maybe once or twice a month.
Favorite Game
FIFA Soccer 10 – This is the shit! It’s so frustrating to lose (and I do often), but winning is just an amazing feeling because it’s so rare. I’ve found that my favorite team to play as is my ancestral club S.S.C Napoli. Before Napoli, I was a die-hard Bayern Munchen fan (maybe out of respect to the song “Munich” by Editors), but I sort of lost my rhythm playing as them. With Napoli, I got Fabio Quagliarella, who has been absolutely money. He scored three goals for me in one game on normal difficulty. To put something into perspective, it’s rare that I score one goal per game. Obviously, things ended up working out quite well not just because of Fabio, but I got to give him a lot of credit.
South of the Border
A trailer for the new Oliver Stone documentary on the Venezuelan leader, Hugo Chavez. I plan on seeing his earlier documentary, Looking For Fidel first though. This goes hand in hand with Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story for left-wing, biased movies that I generally agree with and enjoy but criticize the tactics.

Palin Steps Down As Alaska Governor
By Ben Tan — July 27, 2009
Sarah Palin resigned as Alaska governor yesterday, in front of thousands of cheering supporters.
Palin pledged to continue fighting for independence from Washington and for Americans’ personal freedoms “as that grizzly guards her cubs.”
The attendees vowed to keep Palin’s feisty, down-home political legacy alive. The hand-over to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell at a family-style picnic marked an unexpected end to a brief but notable governorship. The 45-year-old hockey mom shook the Republican Party and propelled Alaska’s frontier-style, moose-meat-picnic politics into the national spotlight.
She famously described herself as a “pit bull with lipstick” last year, when she accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination.
“Let’s not start believing that government is the answer,” said Palin before a crowd of about 5,000 at Pioneer Park.
“It can’t help make you healthy or wealthy or wise. What can? It is the wisdom of the people. . . . It is God’s grace, helping those who help themselves.”
Palin, Alaska’s first female governor, stood at the podium in a conservative black pantsuit, joined by husband Todd and two of their daughters, Piper and Willow.
Palin chastised those who question why she stepped down 18 months before her term ends, showing no sadness or second thoughts.
“It should be so obvious to you,” she said.
“It is because I love Alaska this much, sir, that I feel that it is my duty to avoid the unproductive, typical politics-as-usual lame-duck session in one’s last year in office. . . . I will be able to fight even harder for you, for what is right. And I have never felt that you need a title to do that.”
She took an opportunity to criticize the media, which she claims distorted her statements and fueled controversies surrounding her.
“You represent what could and should be a respected and honest profession,” she said, “that could and should be a cornerstone of our democracy.”
“Democracy depends on you, and that is why our troops are willing to die for you. So how about in honor of the American soldier you quit making things up?
These moments of the speech drew the loudest applause.
“Our new governor has a very nice family too,” she added, “so leave his kids alone.”
Palermo Close To Signing Dzemaili
According to various sources Palermo ( my favorite club ) are close to bringing Swiss Midfielder Blerim Dzemaili to La Favorita. President Maurizio Zamparini has essentially bought us a new midfield with Pastore, Bertolo, and now Dzemaili. Should this move happen, Palermo could possibly have the one of the most attacking starting 11’s in the league.
Possible Palermo starting 11 with Dzemaili

Cassani–Kjaer–Bovo—Balzaretti
