albany
well well well
if theres one thing to say about my soccer tournament in albany is that it was fucking awesome. unbelieveable. amazing. hell it was even inspiring. if you want a comparison me going to this soccer tournament is like dallas and julie going to leaders school. it was just that incredible. like i want next year to come really fast so that i can go back and have a shitload more fun. i think it was just all the freedom i had. like my parents were there but they were in a different room and it was just me and 3 other ppl and it was amazing and i woulda run outta breath a long time ago had this sentence not been typed cuz its all good and im really excited. but like we had everything we had a ps2 and xbox hooked up on the bus on the way down, we had them in our room so everyone kinda converged on our room and we partied and it was great and i stayed up till 2 which is like my new record and i was really tired the next morning but it was all good and im really tired now but its still all good cuz i can go to bed soon
ok so on saturday we played against providence, rhode island. now just know that this team is ranked as the 8th best high school soccer team in the united states. we went into the game knowing that fact and we were ready. oh and right before the game started i found out that IM GONNA BE A STARTER THIS YEAR and its amazing cuz i had no idea but its sweet anyway. so back to the story. we started playing and we were doin really good and at halftime it was still 0-0. now remember this team is #8 and we were tied with them at halftime. hell we probably outplayed them for the first half. so yeah the second half starts and goes on for a while and then i went to block a shot and got kicked in the ankle really really hard and i just dropped. it wasnt a foul i just blocked a shot and took one for the team. so yeah i went off the field for like 5 minutes. and in this 5 minutes providence gets a free kick and puts it in cuz we weren't ready. that was there one goal. there one damn goal that beat us in the last ten minutes. and i was on the bench and i felt like shit cuz there was nothing i could have possibly done beacuse i was on the bench. i wanted to cry but couldnt cuz first of all it would have been really embarrassing and second of all the coach put me back on the field. so the rest of the game we played really really really hard but the other team was playing all out defense and we just couldnt break it and the game ended 1-0. it was heartbreaking yet a confidnece builder at the same time. we lost the game, but we held the 8th best team in the country to one goal on a free kick, and we played them equally. so yeah it sucked but its all good now.
so saturday night our entire team went out to ruby tuesdays to eat and watch the US-Mexico world cup qualifier. it was sweet and the US won 2-0 and i ate so much food that dallas would have been proud. then we walked around the mall and got kicked out by some queer fat ass security guard cuz we were under 18 and overratio cuz we only had 1 adult for 22 of us. i woulda said "fuck you i work at a summer camp i know what overratio is" but then i woulda gotten in trouble...a lot of it. but we did go through best buy and i played all the videogames like a little kid cuz thats what i am deep down inside and it was sweet and i even bought a game cuz it was only 10 bucks and it beat the system so its even better then all good. then we left and played videogames until like 1230 and it was sweet
sunday was like exactly the same up until the game started and it was a really easy team so being a starter i didnt play much. we ended up winning 5-1 and it was still all good. then we showered and went to mass and it was seriously the first time id been to church outside school since last christmas. but after the mass there was a dinner and there was tons of free food and i ate until i pretty much got sick but didnt and it was free food so again it beat the system and again it was all good. after that we went back to the hotel room and ordered food cuz we were still hungry and i got burger king and it was sweet. we played videogames until like 1030 cuz we had to get up early.
monday morning we got up at 630 and finished packing and stuff cuz we had to check out at 730. then we went to the game and it was another blowout in which i didnt play much cuz the second line got a chance to play instead of the starters. after the game that we won 4-1 we showered and were on our way home. it was sweet on the way back we just watched two movies and we were back and it just flew by.
i got home at about 430, unpacked, ate, CLEANED MY ROOM, and then dallas pinkie and tubie showed up and we talked for like 20 minutes and then they had to leave so i came up here to write this journal and talk online and i talked to dallas on the phone about tomrrow in which im goin over there and hanging out/helping put up the shed maybe. who knows.
but its gonna be all good and im going to bed now cuz its like 1030 and thats late for me
