Random Thoughts on Man United's 2018-2019 Season

msn.com
As of writing this, Manchester United will not finish in the top four of the Premier League, and will not qualify for the 2019-2020 Champions League. It is currently a sad state of affairs at the club, with an unmotivated group of players, a manager who cannot provide that motivation anymore, and a CEO who does not understand how to run a football club. I can appreciate it if the players on the pitch play with heart and determination, even if the results may not always go their way. However, the players play lackadaisical, and there is no sense of true urgency when three points are up for grabs. The players deserve much of the blame for this failure of a season.

I am just going to use this post to discuss the changes I have made to the blog since I wrote my previous self-congratulatory post on my four-year blog anniversary, as well as some other things on my mind.

The Dawn Of The Canadian Premier League: Forge FC vs. York 9 FC

@CPLSoccer

April 27, 2019 is a day that will live in Canadian sports infamy.

As you know, that day was the marking of the beginning of the new Canadian Premier League (CPL) season, with York 9 FC travelling down the QEW to Hamilton to take on Hamilton Forge FC. I have been monitoring the progress of the creation of the CPL for some time now, and now this is the opportunity for me to talk about the league in general.

What The Myers-Briggs Personality Test Got Right (And Wrong) About Me


One day at work, our boss told us about the Myers-Briggs personality test that he recently took, and he wanted us to take the test on our own time, whenever we got the chance. My boss was impressed with how it seemed to explain his personality, his strengths, and his weaknesses in near-perfect detail. I have not taken the Myers-Briggs personality test in years, but I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the test and see what personality I most closely match. My boss and I took the test here.

Your Lie In April: Tragically Beautiful

Nefarious Reviews
It is the month of April, so it is only fair that I re-watch one of my favorite anime shows, Your Lie In April. Your Lie In April is about a piano prodigy named Kousei Arima who loses the ability to hear the piano keys he is playing due to a traumatic event in his childhood. While in his depression, Kousei meets an eccentric, carefree violinist named Kaori Miyazono, who tries to help Kousei snap out of his depression, build his confidence, and get him to start playing the piano again to face his trauma. Your Lie In April is an incredibly emotional anime, and I would like to use this post to describe the emotional impact this anime had on my life more than writing a normal review.
