Misinformation earlier today...

I started laughing when I heard someone in my first hour say that he saw a headline on ESPN.com on the teacher's computer saying that the U.S. and Iraq soccer teams would be squaring off.

I am now pissed because I was looking forward to the prospect of that game- The Occupier vs. the Occupied. And I had passed the news on at lunch -- and now that I know it was bad information I'm pissed. I'm gonna like have to smack that guy when I get in class tomorrow. This was my first chance to verify it -- and I have discovered what was probably predictable: It's NOT true. Damn it all. That's what I get for believing what someone said, you'd think I'd have learned my lesson the last 15 times (exageration / estimate).

Today's Lesson: (as it has been a number of times before) Don't trust people, they could be lying. Simple as that. Always keep in mind that they could be lying their fucking ass off. -- that's what kinda pisses me off, because I spread the misinformation to a few people, oblivious to the fact that it apparently wasn't true. Ugh. So I look like either 1. A liar even though it wasn't intentional at all, or 2. A dumbass to those few who I "spread the word" to..

...But anyway... Damn it, I was really liking the idea of the Iraqi soccer team beating the U.S. soccer team's ass. That would have been incredibly hilarious.
