The Soccer Chicas


So there are these three amazing girls that play indoor soccer with us and they are my new friends and since i love new friends and each of them is so special and unique this blog is going to be about them. First the scenario.... two of them play and when I say play they are little bruisers and one watches but not for long because I have convinced her to start playing and tommorow is her first day. I have to thank them because they laugh and giggle and make every weeknight at soccer more lighthearded and enjoyable for everyone. So I found out tonight that they were giving everyone nicknames and my is none other but bananaboat... yep like the sunscreen. If you see me in my big yellow shoes you will understand. So first i would like to give a shot out to Bree, she is little measuring up to 4 10 "and a half," but her game is much bigger than that. I would like to thank her for trying break my fall today i hit her hand with my face pretty hard in an embarrassing trip over the ball that left me sprawled on the ground in the first play of the game. Then theirs Caitlyn also small but with a big heart she knocks me down more than anyone else I play with. She has mad foot skills and often makes the guys look stupid with her talented dribbling. And last but definitely not least their is Lindsey the number one fan, she entertains the players on the bench and will hopefully soon be a avid soccer player herself. So this is a shot out to my amazing new friends, skillful as they are beautiful "the soccer chicas".

USA >> All The Way!!!!


I went to my bros soccer game yesterday which was a treat since they won 1-0 to stay undefeated. Even better Michael scored the goal in the last minute. Then tonight I played a little soccer of my own after watching the US national team beat Trinidad and Tobago 3-0 in World Cup Qualifying. I figured I shouldn't play and try to give my toe some time to heal but I couldn't resist. I didn't have tape so I tore up a plastic bag and used that to wrap my toes together and surprisingly enough it actually helped. The big disappointment of the day came when I went to sign up for salsa and the last spot had been taken this morning and it started tonight. Now my only chance is if somebody drops I guess but I think thats a long shot.

I watched the new "Rambo" which was pretty good for an action movie. Another good movie is "A Civil Action" Its a lawyer movie with John Travolta and is really good.

Wedding, Lake, Soccer, Golf, and Tennis


It has been a few days since I have sputtered out my daily activities onto the binary pages shown here. So here goes a little catch up. Saturday my cousin Clare got married and did all the wedding things which I guess was highlighted by free beer, especially the Sierra Nevada. Probably the worst part was waking up Saturday with a sunburnt head. For those of you I don't get to see,Jason did me the privelige of Shaving my head last week. Thus bringing out one of my fav0rite qualities "the pug head. If you get the chance check out the wrinkles on my head sometime they are wicked dude. Then Sunday was fun in the sun with drinks and appetizers while taking lessons and juggling with Carlos and michael on the boat dock. Then at night we went to T-Town and played some street soccer on the tennis courts. This went well except my borrowed shoes were to small. Then today was golfing with my mother who beat my which was pretty sad. I think I lost about a dozen golf balls. Now its back to the lake and then Tennis in TTown with Willie Vannillie "my cousin" and then maybe back to Edwardsville. This week I find out the job situation hopefully so we will see if i'm "Westward Bound." Oh yeah and I found a Salsa partner but she is like a foot and a half smaller than me so I don't know if it will work out.


Two decent and halfway funny movies are "What happens in Vegas" and "Baby Momma."
