    So

    Where do I start? It was a great 11 years that I was in USA on a regular basis. My wife was accepted to Columbia university for phD and I asked my company if they could move me to USA. My company helped me out and they moved me. Since 2004 I am
    Living USA.

    I became a US citizen(Bad news for Trump as another Muslim became a citizen). I had kids born in this great country and I still live in USA ona regular basis.

    4 months ago, my company wanted to move me out of the USA and start working in our Rotterdam or India office for 2 years. Package was good and when you think about it, there was no reason for me to turn it down from a career perspective. But again I was Americanized and I wasn't ready to leave this country. More than me, I wasn't ready to move my kids out of USA.

    I came from poor. Was born to a mother and father who didn't go to school and who didn't know how to read and write. Was born in a Kurdish village near Syrian border and in Turkey I always had to overcome challenges of being a Kurd. I never felt Turkey as a home because for years Turkey has killed Kurds. My brother was tortured for 1 week in the jail for screaming liberty for Kurds while in college. My great uncle was killed by a firing a squad. Another of my uncle had to endure the tortures in Diyarbakir prison.

    So for me, USA was home, USA is home. I feel the flag in my heart. When I listen to Star Spangled banner my heart shakes. I am Americanized but this is normal. I never had my own country. USA is my country. I was 't ready to take away USA from myself or my kids. I am a proud American citizen. My kids are proud American citizens. Though they are Muslims, they don't eat pork like daddy. (Fuck you Trump)


    With that said, since I wasn't ready, I asked my company if this would be just a 2 year stint and if I would come back to USA after 2 years. They said not necessarily. Once you go global, you will be treated like every other global guy in the company. You will have your own pension system(no 401K so compensation is thru pension), your own salary standards and in 2 years you will be moved to another location.

    I said what are the chances this location is USA? Answer wasn't promising of course. So I was ready to leave the company because I didn't want to leave USA. Stocky the mockey knows the details. That Muslim hater Stockey.

    Well something unprecedented happened. My company said well, stay in USA but take the position and travel accordingly. I took it. My family still in USA, I am still a US Employee with 401k benefits etc, but my office isn't in USA anymore. And I am on constant travel. One week I am in Rotterdam another week in India. I come back to USA for a few weeks and I will take off again.

    This time I am in India and I am coming back home to USA to spend rest of the December with family.

    Now, last week when I came to India, we were gonna play the Giants. Game was at midnight India time. And the next day I had 4 important meetings. So I chose to stay up to watch the game. After the game was over, I had too much adrenaline in my body to go back to sleep. So I stayed up all night and headed to the office without any sleep. Of course I wasn't as sharp as I should have been. And I was careless and this and that. But in the end I was able to take care of business.

    What I am saying is, in January my project will take me to China. And this stupidity will go on for 2 more years and more if I stay on Global roles.

    I am ready to forget everything about USA. I already gave up everything about USA. Eating crappy food, drinking crappy beers and wines. I gave up hugging my kids, I gave up hanging with friends. I basically gave up my good life.

    But how do I give up on Jets? How can I forget this motherfucking team? How can I go to sleep when I am in China or India or in Singapoure and Jets are playing. How do I learn not to give a shit about the Green amd White? How do I stop myself coming back to TGG like 150 times every day?

    Man this is addiction. I will be at Metlife for Titans game. Only 23 hours after I touchdown to JFK. How do I forget Jets? Seriously. How do I forget it?

    Play fantasy football for money. Then you'll care about your fantasy team more.

    Look, I gave you advice months ago and you never took it.

    So I'll say it again.

    Open up a Food Truck in Madison NJ offering kebabs, kumpir and kofte and you'll make a fortune.

    Call it something snappy like the KKK From Turkey.

    Bring the truck over to the Meadowlands on Gameday and get the best of both worlds.

    Dude, you really think you're fooling anybody with this jolly Muslim with a heart of gold working class hero act? Trying to recruit Jets fans to become muhajadeen for your jihad. Lotsa luck with that.

    Probably longer than most Patsfags have been Pats fans.

    there is a place called Batman Turkey. I saw it on the map. Are you from close to there? What a cool name for a city.

    sorry about having to give up on the Jets but honestly you are probably better off without them. I work from home in my boring ass apartment so I find the idea of traveling to Rotterdam, India, China, Singapore, Batman, etc. pretty cool. I'd give up the shitty Jets for that. if you end up on the no fly list maybe we can trade jobs?

    Haha. Well I was just thinking, earlier in my fandom I'd be really happy if we won but more often really depressed if we lost. Also my school was mostly Giants/Yankees so I got a lot of shit. Anyway, I think you grow out of that obsessed state. Now I get into it and curse yell, talk shit, etc, of course this is my team I'm die hard, but when the game is over, it's over, I don't get too emotional about it anymore. Brook needs to endure about another decade of suck to reach enlightenment.

    Confession time. When I knew nothing about football, I rooted for Pats against the Eagles. In 2016, I made a choice and picked the Jets over Giants

    love and watch the Jets from afar, thats what i have evolved to doing. Im all the better for it, i have not watched one game this year.
    i feel so light and airy, a free man one might say. those pricks no longer fuck with me, i wont let them.
    i highly recommend this new experiment i have been trying out for a while now. of course more clusters of data must be gathered as time goes on, but so far i am all the better for it. hit the gym then the beach, see a girl, hopefully get laid (closing rate has been high lately) then watch the highlights late sunday night. the formula is fail safe so far.
    Just some hope for you good sir! i did it for health reasons, the jets have been taxing my soul for toolong, i had to make a move

    Just get whatever service you need that lest you record the game on your tablet or laptop and watch if after you work day is over. Seems to me there will not be all too many places in China, India, Denmark, etc., going to be showing the games so not a problem avoiding seeing the final score before you start watching.
