Few observations:

1. Just ask her out on a date, get coffee or something and get it over with, you know you want to but you're probably thinking as long as I don't ask and make it official then I can still hang around and pop up occasionally like a lovesick puppy. It'll hurt initially but you'll get over the pain. You just can't pop up "coincidentally" anymore.

2. It really says something when she can get close to you even when you are sweating like a pig. Sheesh, you must have been real nervous...

Seriously, you're making it out like she's out of your league, when she's probably more attainable then you think (and no lame "but she has an S.O." excuses, they can be dumped). Just lose some weight and get a better job.

Dave, you're a Dynamo fan too? You're pretty hardcore about all of the Houston teams huh? I don't think I can sit through an MLS game.. it makes me sad when I watch them.

Sounds like to me he'd become Comets fan if they start a dance squad and a certain someone joins it...

LOL, me thinks you doth protest too much. I was just messin' with ya, but I think everybody can read inbetween the lines here.

In fact, all your Jessica posts basically says "I've already decided I have no shot with her, but any crumb of attention she gives me that I can show to people is good enough." C'mon man, throw caution to the wind and ask to go to the movies, jog in memorial park, or whatever baby steps you can take. Hell, invite her to one of those clutchfans gatherings you're known to put together if she's really a rocket fan. you never know

speaking of camel toe. Jessica's left armpit is probably a prime example of why some guys have an armpit fetish.

From those pics, Dynamo gear > Rockets gear.

And for those who haven't attended at least one Dynamo game and dislike soccer in general, just know this: it is a LOT more fun at the games. Soccer is one of the most fun sports to attend, I have friends that never likes soccer until they actually started attending games, and now they're hooked (it's a good experience, much like how I am not a big hockey fan but have thoroughly enjoyed the few times I've actually attended hockey games).

Give it a try once, the tickets are pretty cheap, you can thank me later...

Of COURSE Dynamo gear > Rockets gear; Oliver Luck isn't a vegetarian like Les is. He's not afraid to show a little meat .

I <3 Dynamo. Texian Army FTW (but since I started volunteering at my church on Sunday nights, I can't go to most games. Bummer)! And he's right -- soccer matches are WAY more fun in person. Check this article:

US soccer punks 1, McFans 0

Steven Wells on how independent, witty, irreverent fan culture is triumphing over Major League Soccer's preprogrammed Disneyfied McFan experience

Recently I was at an indoor soccer game working for FourFourTwo magazine, cheering on the Philadelphia Kixx in the company of a rowdy mob that calls itself the Sons of Ben. With their custom-made scarves, raucous chants and vigorously thumped bass drum, the 60 Sons made more noise than the rest of the arena put together. And they made particular sport of the Baltimore Blast keeper, Sagu. They got drowned out only once-when the 4,000 strong Girl Guide audience joined in with the SpongeBob SquarePants theme tune (something of a ritual at Kixx games).

But then - in a flash of spontaneous genius that would have brought a smile to the face of the Kop - the Sons of Ben responded with a mournful "Sagu SquarePants" And poor old Sagu visibly wilted.

Now here's the thing - the Sons of Ben aren't Philadelphia Kixx fans. They're fans of Philly's Major League Soccer team. But Philadelphia doesn't yet have an MLS team. Which is to say that, despite having scarves, songs, chants, replica shirts and flags, they're fans of a team that doesn't yet exist. It's almost as if - in the manner of the South Sea cargo cultists - they're trying to will a Philly team into existence. They even organise trips to New York Red Bulls games, just so they can boo them. How hardcore is that?

With the entire US soccer press (such as it is) fixated on how Mr Posh Spice is going to save American soccer (from what, exactly, nobody ever says) very little attention is being paid to the ongoing revolution in US soccer fandom. Sick of the dull, pasteurised, one-size-fits-all, preprogrammed Disneyfied McFan experience that's all but got a deathgrip on US pro-sports, soccer fans have increasingly been doing it for themselves.

The Sons of Ben are following in the noisy, irreverent, chaotic footsteps of the Chivas Legion Kalifas (Chivas USA), the Galaxians and Riot Squad (both LA Galaxy), Screaming Eagles and La Barra Brava (both DC United), Empire Supporters Club and Raging Bull Nation (both New York Red Bulls), and Section 8 Chicago (Chicago Fire). And, of course, the national team's Uncle Sam's Army who chanted, at a friendly against England: "We've got dentists!"

In most other US pro-sports (college sports are different) the majority of fans sit sipping pissy beer and munching tasteless hot dogs or nachos slathered in fake cheese while some blandroid on the PA makes all the noise. Which makes soccer's new breed of self-organised, scarfed-up, singing, chanting, banner-hoisting, flag-waving, noisy-as-hell ruffians the sport's clearest brand differential - and potentially its greatest asset.

Here's an example. I'm at a Chivas/Galaxy derby stood next to a dude wearing a Dodgers T-shirt when the Chivas hardcore burst into the stadium like a red-and-white tornado. Dodgers dude nearly has a heart attack.

"What the ****!" he yells, taking a step back. "Who the hell are they!" I explain they're soccer fans and this shouting, jumping, yelling, screaming carnival is how soccer fans trend to behave.

It's baseball dude's first soccer match. You can bet it won't be his last. There's no doubt that David Beckham will put meat in the seats, but it's the noisy, life-affirming, autonomous, independent, witty, irreverent punk-culture of the fans that'll hook them.

Yeah, I know. I'm being ridiculously optimistic. I'm ignoring the fact there are vast deserts of inert fan-zombiedom in the MLS. And even at the noisy-fan infected grounds, the pogoing mobs of flag-waving fanatics are flanked on either side by dumbstruck armies of gawking, spoon-fed sports consumers. (Hey, English footie snobs, remind you of anything?)

But what if the disease spreads?

When Liverpool played an exhibition game against Celtic in Hartford, Connecticut a few years ago, the Liverpool team were visibly stunned by the mentalist reception they got from their American and expat fans. But just behind the seething Connecticut Kop was a large American lady festooned in every possible piece of Michael Owen merchandise. She punctuated the songs of her fellow fans with a shrill "Come on, Mikey!" every 30 seconds and midway through the first half she shouted: "Okay, guys, you've had your fun. Could we all sit down and be quiet now so we can enjoy the game?"

She didn't get it. Others will. The Chivas/Galaxy game ended with the red and white phalanx of still-bouncing Chivas fans (they lost 3-1) surrounded by ponytailed, Galaxy-headscarved BenditlikeBechhamistas (and their mums and dads) jabbing their fingers and screaming "Hey Chivas! You suck!" Way more fun than the game itself.

The MLS has a way to go before it starts to compete with the big European leagues - but US soccer fandom is already on a roll.

In other (semi-related) news, it turns out this INCREDIBLY attractive girl in one of my classes at UH is a lesbian. Good thing I didn't try to ask her out.

What's the worse thing that can happen? Maybe she'll laugh in your face, say "that's sweet, you're just like a big brother to me". Not that that's happened to me before back in the day.
