Hey, you.

Hey, what's up, Big Guy?

Not too bad. Yourself? We haven't spoken for quite some time, huh?

Yeah. Well, You know, work stuff, life stuff, this stuff, that stuff. I'm fine, BTW, thanks for asking.

You been angry with Me.

I have? No way. Says who?

Dude, come on *chuckles* -- gimMe some credit, will ya?

All right, all right. Can't hide nuttin' from Ya, can I? So I have. What's the big deal, eh? People got angry with You all the time.

Among other things.

Yeah, sure.

So what's up?

Weeellll, since You have come all the way to personally inquire about my well being... Thanks, Man. Anyway. As You most definitely know, things have been rough lately. Kinda like a roller coaster ride, Y'know.

I know.

Right. And You know I don't like complaining.

I know. You prefer staying away. Even from Me.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. It's just, like, crap -- mi scusi -- happens again and again and again. It's like, Y'know, You're testing us.

You know I don't test.

I know, I know. But sometimes it feels that way, can't help it. Just as things seemed to be getting together, this and that happened. Bits turned sour again. You know how that feels, You're The Most Compassionate.

I know exactly how that feels. All right, now that we had that out, anything you want from Me?

Stop teasing me. You know what we want.

Anything you want to ask Me, then?

I don't ask You questions. Not if I can help it. Again, You know that.

Ah, but you do realize I don't like blind faith, don't you?

It's not, no worries.

Good.

Look, Dude, I really appreciate Your coming all the way over. But, really...

Yes? Come on, now, out with it.

*sighs* I can't. I won't.

*smiles* It's not a shame to tell others, you know.

Shoot, must we go through this again? I don't tell others, all right?

You don't. You just blog.

Stop that.

*chuckles* Suit yourself, buddy. It's still your life. Just so you know, some people are there for you if you need them -- I have surrounded you with such people.

I know and I thank Thee, that's very nice of You.

Feeling better now?

A bit. Thanks, Man.

Superb. Look, dude, I gotta go check on others, but I'm always around, of course. You be OK, a'ight?

I will, thanks again. Really appreciate Your checking on me, for all the things I've done.

Hey, no sweat. All righty. Talk to you later, then. Next time, don't be a stranger.

I won't. Or, rather, I'll try not to. Take care, Big Guy.

(Well, gotta to feel bad for Germany. Then again, one good thing about having both your fav teams playing each other in a semi is that you're guaranteed one team to root for in the final. I take Portugal for tonight's match.)
