December 2020 Blog Update

With COVID-19 happening and the world going back into lockdown (at least until vaccines are widely distributed), I have not been doing much these days other than working. It has been increasingly difficult to continue posting on the blog every Monday. I have decided to stop with my scheduled posts for now, and just post when I feel like. I also want to use this post to talk about what's been going on in my life and how I am feeling.

Vanney oversaw the successful period of Toronto FC's history, guiding the team to accomplishments such as winning the 2017 MLS Cup, the 2017 Supporters Shield, and making the CONCACAF Champions League Final in 2018. He was also the MLS Coach of the Year in 2017. When I heard the news, one question was spinning in my head. How much did Greg Vanney really contribute to Toronto FC's success over his tenure?

Changing Jobs And Suppressing Lingering Feelings

I initially did not want to create a third blog post about changing my job, but there were unaddressed feelings that I could not stop thinking about. I talked about my old company's lack of action of making me feeling important, as well as keeping in contact with my friends in the midst of a pandemic. However, I did not talk about what leaving my old company meant for my co-workers, especially in my old department. I realized that in order for me to move forward in my life and in my career, I might have to hurt the people I care for.

All Or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur Review

Since I finally have Amazon Prime, I have wanted to watch the "All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur" documentary, and I am glad I did. This documentary chronicles Spurs' rather entertaining 2019-2020 season, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This documentary bears a number of striking similarities to the Matchday: FC Barcelona documentary I have reviewed earlier this year in its quality production and matchday camera work.
