Well lately, well the last year i guess you could say, my life has been an emotional rollarcoaster. As in my last post i said how my two friends had died. Well thursday one of my best friends from jacksonville Zach Otto died in a car accident. His friend was drunk and hit a tree. This is...to many times to count that someones life...including mine was stopped from drunk driving. I just urge everyone to drink safetly. I dont feel like going into detail right now, but there is alot that i need to write, for me, and maybe for the benefit of others, but ill either do that later tonight, or tomorrow.
All of the super y wilmington teams were waiting for the buses to arrive for their trip to atlanta. The 88 and 89 girls bus showed up, as well as the 85, 89, and 87's bus. The 88s and 90s bus finally showed up around 30min after the other two buses had left. The bus rolled up on three wheels. Three wheels? The front right tire was about 3 feet off of the ground and the bus was tilted at an angle such an angle that i doubt Evil Kanivel(sp) would attempt riding.
After another 30min wait, another bus showed up. We drove for about 15min and stopped at the bus garage just to sit in the parking lot in 100 degree weather with a bus that had no air conditioning. We picked up a few players in Lumberton on our way to atlanta. They had been waiting at a gas station for 3.5hrs. After another 30min we boarded another bus. We picked up a few players in Lumberton on our way to atlanta. They had been waiting at a gas station for 3.5hrs. This bus carried us to florence south carolina where we ate at an exit right outside of town. After about a 30min drive outside of florence we had to turn around. What for you ask? The battery to our bus flew out of the side panel. And a 150lb battery at that. It ended up totaling a car on its way out of our bus. The driver came out with no injuries. How we made it back without the battery, im still yet to know.
We went back to the area where we ate and waited for 4 hours for another bus to show up. Fun times, but not something you really want on a soccer trip. After our bus showed up we rode a five hour trip to atlant arriving around 530. On the last stretch up there was a window that was cracked to the point that every time we hit a bump, it would bend in and crack a little more. Around 615 we all got settled in and got to sleep only to wake up a few hours later.
Well we lost to the national champs due to our long night, and it might keep us out of the national championship. I hope not cause we were so much better than that team. Friday went to florence and stayed with family. Cousin and friends and a bunch of girls all partied, and i just watched. Kinda still feelin the effects of tuesday night. Thats all that i can think of. O yeah erika, stay away from the partying, you two arent a good mix! haha... a tip to all, never talk to erika on the phone...enough said...later
