Johannesburg Is Base Camp

I was thinking today about the next world cup. And I took a short bit of time to figure out that there are 1,206 days remaining until the world cup begins. Now this without a doubt will seem crazy to some people, that I am anticipating the World Cup so much that I have a countdown running with over a twelve hundred days remaining. I won’t disagree, I’ll simply say that I am crazy about the World Cup. I couple months ago I was trying to think of the five things most important to me. I came up with

Now soccer also falls under that category of the world cup, it’s just that the world cup is soccer in its highest form. Now not only am I insanely excited for this coming world cup, I fully intend on being there to watch it in person. So this countdown now brings me to think, what will the next 1,206 days bring in my life. Here’s the short list I can think up on the spot:

I can’t really think of much else in this short period of time, but I’m sure there will be all kinds of craziness, and things I can’t even imagine right now. Anyways 2010 isn’t the only tournament that will matter, 2014 could be headed to Brazil (wow…just wow) and England looks to be in the planning stages of a bid for 2018 (also wow, where the game was born wow). So now for a picture.

This is Johannesburg, the city will host two world cup stadiums so will likely be the place I/we’ll end up camping out for the month.

And music, this was the inspiration for one of the best commercial campaigns I’ve ever seen. It was from france98 with the brasilian team playing through the airport. excellent.
