SOCCER
hey its been a while agian. i keep trying to refigure that puzzle for everyone but its taking a long time. I don't have much time around here n e more. But to update. We lost to indiana Tech 2-1 which sucks really bad for 2 reasons. first being that we DOMINATED the game. a couple stupid mistakes in the defence blew it. but we outshot them by atleast double. i should have gotten an assist or 2 but the people i delived to couldn't finish. and the shot that i had to score i got screwed on because one of my one players took the ball from me 3 times in a row. i ran in from about 15 yards out and meged the goalie. then i started to shoot and the other forward jumped infront of me and tok my shot off the defenders leg. i touched it to the side for my shot and he poked it into the defender again. then i got it again (ALL OF THIS HAPPEND IN THE 6 YARD BOX) and he took it from me once agian and shot far post and missed.-_-_- are you kidding me!! all i wanted was the shot i earned. the girls should have won also but due to people being too lazy they lost. it was 8-2. they were dominating big time for the first 15 minutes (they were missing two of their top 5 players due to red cards. the 2 girls were the outside defenders) so katie was back there w/ an inexperienced defender who played pretty good and an outside mid that is awesome if she plays her game.... it definatly wasn't her game. she was 15 yards behind Katie (the sweeper) when the ball was kicked on a thru pass for a girl that was WAY open and would have otherwise been offside. then shit went downhill from there. shit happens.
KATIE
Her and I are doing great. its been over 3 months now and i've definatly fallen for her. She takes good care of me and ofcourse i do the same for her. She keeps me encouraged to keep playing hard and was there for me when i got frusterated about not only losing my starting spot but not playing more than 38 minutes a game. and she told me what i needed to do. so i did it and now im a starter again. I love having a soccer player as my girl. everyone knows that soccer and the island are my life and she is into both of them. i really think this relationship is gonna last. She is such a great girl, im real lucky to have her.
Everything else
I took my first test here and got an 88% on an open book/open notes test! talk about a hard test HO LEE SHIT. are you kidding???? 88% on a test that took me 4 hours and 58 minutes yea 5 HOURS!! still got 12 questions wrong. that shit was hard.
Im taking my second test in a few minutes when im done w/ this and saying hi to everyone and let everyone know that i miss them.
i really miss a lot the days that i went over to see jess and kyle after school. I still think about you guys daily.
i also miss all the kick ass parties that we had over at Stacies house w/ all my boys from Durand. and the parties that i threw, even the one that got busted up by parents that were "coming home"
i miss the Island and all the great times i had there.
i miss my cousins, from the times in O-town w/ jodi and her crew to the times w/ T-ya out at the Durand parties that she and i almost always seen eachother at. and I'm really dissapointed that the summer is over and the times i spent w/ chewy at the lake are over. it was the most that hes ever been at the island and we've gotten close again after our problems. we're tighter than ever and i appologize for not coming out to see you that weekend that i planned on coming. sorry bro.
I miss my bro as crazy as that sounds. But we're so much closer now that we don't see eachother everyday. I can't wait til i get to play some college soccer w/ him. Hes in for a whole new game once he gets to college... i think he'll be able to handle it tho.
I miss my parents... they come out and i see them quite often, but considering that my dad is one of my best friends... its hard to not see him. He took me out to the Renasonse (sp) festival on sunday. that was pretty sweet. i know it sounds rediculous and i've laughed at so many people for going out to things like that. but it turns out that not everyone that is into that type of thing is weird. i was surprised. Tara was the only one that i had known previously that was into that and wasn't weird... but its not as "nerdy" as i had previously thought. i laughed my ass off while i was there. you all owe it to urself to go sometime. next year... i'll go w/ anyone. but back to my dad. he takes good care of me and i wanted to say thank you to him. I also want to say thank you to my mom who keeps me w/ money in my pocket while i spend my time playing soccer insted of working. She always has a much needed hug for me when i see her. She has been to almost everyone of my games to support me as much as she hates to travel she still manages to come by herself when dad cant make it cause he has to coach.
I also want to take this time to say thank you to Aunt Teri Youngs for making me browines and no bakes and keeping my shelves full. and also to Grandma Brady for bringing me change for laundry and chicken that i love so much and buying me dinner when she came to watch me play. Also to my grandma thayer who came to watch me play and gave me some spending money while she was here, and made me strawberry cupkakes. and to my cousin Thelma who is more like an older sister. she came to my game and brought my neices to see me play soccer and they cheered for me (they are 2 and 4). also to Adam and Andrew of the Genessee fieldhouse who gave me the encouragement and helped inspire me to go to college and play soccer. and my Uncle Joe who taught me almost everything i know and is the reason that i score goals to begin w/. he is the best coach a kid could have and im able to call him my uncle. last but not least i wanna say thank you to the Swartz Creek Highschool 2006 Varsity soccer team for coming out to watch my game and supporting me. If anyone from Creek or from that team reads this you should know that im proud of you guys! You should own the big 9 and go all the way. I've watched most all of you play for the past 10 years and helped coach a lot of you for about 7 years. I have enjoied every minute of it. That said... You need to start playing YOUR game. There is not a team in this state who could keep up w/ you if you would play as a team the way you need to. Each of you need to listen to the people who know what they are talking about and ignore those who don't. This advice comes to you not only as a coach but as a friend. You guys are a great group... NOW GET DOWN TO BUSINESS AND GET SHIT DONE BOYS! I'M EXPECTING A LOT FROM YOU... SHOW EVERYONE WHY YOU DESERVE TO BE TALKED ABOUT THE WAY I TALK ABOUT YOU! YOU GUYS ARE THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A TEAM.... PRROOOVVEEE ITTT
