Ego is the enemy
There have been two instances at this World Cup where naked greed, ambition, and ego have led to ruin. Thus far. Everyone thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players to ever touch a football. Multiple Ballon D’Or (player of the year), medals in La Liga, Champions League, Premier League and Serie A. He’s…

Don’t cry for me, Argentina
My sister and I watched the Argentina v Switzerland match today at McGregor Square. Spoiler alert: Switzerland were brave, but especially after going down to 10 men, it was always going to be advantage Argentina. Sitting in the crowd, the support was rather lopsided. There were HUNDREDS of Argentinian supporters cheering on their team. Perhaps…

Break in transmission
I’ve been writing, what I think, has been a rather interesting series on America. Sadly, life got in the way last night, and worse off, tonight as well. Rather than leaving two days without an article, I thought I’d share this particular story from way back when. In year 9, or freshman year of high…

America at 250: Part 3
American food has a bit of a poor reputation. People conflate it with massive portions, lots of fat, salt, and an emphasis of quantity over quality. They’re not entirely wrong; America has that reputation for a reason. But to conclude that American Food = Bad is an uninformed, ignorant take. It is also one I…

America at 250: Part 2
There is a young, semi-prominent public intellectual that I follow semi-loosely. I met him many years ago in Dallas while at the Incel Academy, and thought he was quite interesting. You can find more about his work HERE. It’s worth subscribing to his Substack. There is a very interesting idea that he has been working…

America at 250: Part 1
1759 days have elapsed between the day I first came to the USA, and today. While not all of them have spent on American soil, it has been a significant period of time. Enough time, perhaps, to make at least some semi-formed reflections. This evening, my sister and I went to watch the USA play…

Why I started this blog
I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.
With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.
While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
