world cup One of my cousins who is 33 years old has been having somewhat of an early life crisis. After stepping out of corporate America through a realization that he wasn’t doing what he wanted to do, he started pursing his love for words. Writing has made him a much happier person and actually been working out in terms of a paycheck. With freedom to follow other dreams he has been milling over the idea of buying a ticket to see the upcoming World Cup in South Africa or taking a guided mountain climbing tour in Alaska. He has never been on a rock face that wasn’t set up inside an outdoor store or at a local park.

I obviously tried to talk him into the World Cup. The once in a lifetime location, the convergence of people from around the world and the actual game seems better then freezing, 5,000 feet up on a virgin climb. Safer too.  Both cost a pretty penny and both would make for great writing inspiration. I hope he goes with the World Cup.
