Come you Blues!

Ok so since the last post...
Chelsea have won all their Champions League games, secured top spot in their group, and STILL have not won a single EPL game in 5 games now. But at least they tied the last outing. It should have been a win against Everton! Slack defending and we are still missing the linking piece between midfield and strikers. We aren't able to go right thru the middle like we used to be. We are attacking thru down the flanks and just sending in crosses because that is all we are able to do at this point. Essien needs an able midfielder who knows when to dribble and when to pass. Drogba and Anelka need good service on the ground thru the middle. Malouda, Zhirkov and Kalou need to be more attacking and just resigned to attack down the flanks. Chelsea visit Marseille this week in Champions League, and then Tottenham over the weekend. Chelsea needs to regain their winning form versus a tough team in Tottenham. It will not be easy, but it can be done.

Unrelated

Only when you are truly happy does everything start to fall into place. I am truly happy. Things are falling into place. Minor setbacks and bad people get in the way, but not enough to get me down. I will persevere thru it all and be the stronger human being. And I will be stronger for it. Keep your head up and posture strong, and nothing can defeat you. I only have one question... Whom do I choose? Near or far or farther? Love or music or connection? This is a tough one. I can negate several already. But there are really two... This is tough. At least I have decided to take my time. No rushing into anything this time. Take your time.

Not Terribly Excited

Chelsea have played in a very lackluster way the past few games in the league. Hopefully we can turn this around. Quickly. I don't want to spend too much time on this, as it is very painful to relive. The loss to Liverpool and the loss to Sunderland. Yes, we did win versus Newcastle, but we also need point from teams like Sunderland and Liverpool if we are to retain the Championship this year.

On a different note: I had an amazing dream last night. I forget who was teaching/coaching me, but it was all about headers on corners. Like an epiphany, it all clicked for me. The right way to run and direct myself to be put in the best position possible to score. And also to not be afraid to smash into the ball with my forehead. I have been a little hesistant to head the ball due to my facial injury. I keep on trying to tell myself that, "If you hit the ball hard enough, it won't hurt." Easier said than done. But after that dream I feel I can do it all now. I have to thank God. I know why, but then again, I don't. But I do know that that is why I'm having these dreams again. And they are becoming more and more focused on football.
Denmark here I come!

Chelsea has been held

So Chelsea tied an interesting team in Aston Villa. I'm not sure what all was going on but we tied a team that we should have beaten. I'm not really understanding Carlo Ancellotti and his thought process. He says that he is content...I am not. We lost two vital points. If, and they should, Manchester City beat Blackpool then Chelsea would only be one point below us. I don't like that thought. We are at the moment five points atop, and there are 31 more games left. I believe in Chelsea to come out next week swinging and trounce their opponents.

So it's been a while...

Sorry bout that folks!
Chelsea is 4 points clear of Manchester City. But there is a long way to the end of the season. What is surprising is that we have been winning without Frank Lampard. He is a solid midfielder and every team would love to have him in their lineup... However, his hernia injury is keeping him out of action. Which, at first was a bit of a heart attack. I wasn't sure whether Ramires would be able to fit the bill, but he has come into his own and I would say that he attacks more so than Lampard. He does need to be a bit stronger. He is eased off the ball a little too easy at times.
My man Drogba. You can't stop him. Yesterday he kept up his scoring against Arsenal, who I used to follow, with a back heel to open the scoring. Give it up to Arsenal who actually had a good defense for the most part. Essien was winning headers, Mikel was helping stifle the Arsenal attack, and Drogba and Anelka were creating havoc for the Arsenal defenders.
Another clean sheet in the EPL and it just goes to show that we can still dominate and win this year again.

Beginning of the new season

So Chelsea stomped WBA 6-0. Sadly, I was at work while the game was happening. Sad face. My boy, Drogba, had the hat trick. That is a great way to start the defense to the title and to go on to pursue the treble and the quadruple...(Carling, FA, League, and Champions) C'mon Chelsea! True WBA has been up and down and most likely will go back down to the Championship at the end of this year. That doesn't mean that you can't go out and destroy a team that you should destroy. Plus, this is an excellent opportunity to rack up the goals scored for later on in the year. This will only cause chasing teams to go out and search for more goals against teams that they shouldn't be, and therefore may have goals scored on them by making mistakes. The idea is to score as many goals as you can against teams lesser than you, and to win against teams 1-0 if need be to ensure the 3 points and gain the goal advantage. I shall leave you with this...C'MON CHELSEA!!!!!!

The New Season!!

So I got my new jersey!
Exciting...Now I just need to fill it out. I'm usually a large but this time this large is just too large for me. However, I have no doubt that I can eventually tighten those threads around my chest. Until then I will be anxiously anticipating the start of the new season. C'mon Chelsea! C'mon Chelsea! C'mon Chelsea!

Waiting for Two Things

First I am waiting on my Drogba jersey from Chelsea.. Secondly, I am waiting for the 10/11 season to begin. This year will be for Chelsea to repeat their double of last year and go for the treble. Essien is back for Chelsea as is Mikel. These are two young players that they will need in the future. Some of their players are getting older and they will need to bring up some young blood fairly soon if they are to keep up the winning ways.

Like I Was Saying

Spain won. In some kinda style, I guess. They did win with class. Though there was some diving by Iniesta. However, the biggest sign for me was how even at the end, as a sub, Torres couldn't play because he pulled his hamstring. If any club was smart they would leave him alone and let Liverpool sort him out. It is ridiculous how he can not stay healthy. First, he doesn't finish out the EPL season because he went under the knife to fix his knee, which kept him out for a majority of the season. He caught flak from that stunt because the fans thought he was just gearing up for the world cup. Now, since he did win the world cup(in a way I guess he helped), I wonder what the fans will be saying now. THEN, he pulls up and lays prostrate on the ground with 3 minutes left in the world cup. What team would want to pick this "non" player up? He didn't score. At all. I would rather have Llorrente, he took on defenders with skill and didn't give the ball away because of a poor touch. Torres did. Give me anyone else besides Torres. Get healthy and work on your touch and my views of him might change.

Sunday Sunday Sunday!!!

This Sunday, the world will come to a precipice of learning.
This Sunday, the world will watch one sport.
This Sunday, history will be written.

My prediction is Spain 3-2... or at the very least 1-0 with a ton of back an forth...

The Final

So I'm still a little sad that Germany lost to Spain. I'll soon be over it however. I predict the score to be 3-2 Spain over the Netherlands. That is all I have to say about that today.

Can't wait til the next round!

So I'm still rooting for Germany and Spain. Netherlands has the opportunity to crush the world and show how Brazil is not the powerhouse most non fanatics think that they are. I believe that the Netherlands can win, however they must shut down the midfield of Brazil if they are to do that. The other game, Ghana v. Uruguay could be very exciting match, it is going under the radar, and I'm not sure why. Ghana is the only African team left in the World Cup. Uruguay is one of 4 South American teams left, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina being the others. Uruguay has stealthily edged their way into the quarterfinals with a few bumps but have easily, or most easily won over their opponents. I'm not sure who to pull for, but Ghana I believe will somehow win. I don't know why I'm saying that but I believe they will fight harder and shut down Uruguay's midfield and defensive strengths. Germany over Argentina. Spain over Paraguay.

Day 3

Germany is the team to beat. 4-0. Granted it was Australia but they had a solid defense for the most part and the offense took advantage of every opportunity that they created. Klose is back on form and Pudolski had a great shot. This team very well could meet up with Spain again in the semi finals and might be able to win. Right now Germany is the team to beat.

Day 2

Day 2 of the World Cup is in the books. Amazing day for the South Korea. Greece is a fluke that won the Euros on accident. Argentina stands a good chance but no real chance of winning the World Cup, mainly because of their manager. Nigeria is a great team. England might finish second behind the U.S.

Day 1

Day 1 of the World Cup is in the books.
I wish South Africa won their game. A tie is ok. At least the history of the host nation not losing the first game is still intact. Almost lost my voice in the first half of the first game. That is always fun. I'd rather go into work the next day unable to speak because I have been cheering for so long, so loud. I'd much rather do that and explain to customers why I can't speak than to speak normally and force a conversation about the World Cup.


It's the beautiful game.

Today Is Different

Less than 24hrs til the first game of the World Cup 2010 begins. I am too excited to do anything else. I will be up in arms cheering for every team. I wish I could be in South Africa for this very moment. But alas, I will be in Austin, Tx watching it on TV. Not a bad thing, just not where I would love to be. With this World Cup, the first in Africa, several players and politicians would like to see and end to racism and segregation. With such a global sport being played in a country where apartheid was very evident for so long, and having 32 countries of various races and backgrounds all here at the same time. This should be a stone that could be stepped upon to take larger steps to end racism. I hope that is possible. If it does happen, wow, what a stage to happen on and that surely would have this World Cup be the greatest of all to date. Not because of the games, which promise to be electric, but because of the movements that happened. That is my wish. That and that either Spain or the Netherlands win the World Cup.

Am I Doing This To Myself

I need to figure out where I want things to go. I'm fine where I'm at right now. I have an opportunity to start a new relationship or I have the option to rekindle an old one.

What happens when you still love your first love and you're not sure if it's reciprocated?

What are you supposed to do when you want to start something, but you're not sure if it's a good idea to do so?

Do you go along with it? Or force their hand? Do you make your feelings known and hope for the best? Or do you take steps to be closer to them and then see what happens?

I need to relax and let them play out.
I am starting to think too much.

Countdown!!

I'm watching the Netherlands play versus Hungary. Wow. They play so fast. The passing is amazing. Every player is very unselfish with the ball. They understand that if they score then they win, it doesn't matter who scores, just as long as they score. I will be watching Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Germany and France, just to see how they fair after a very controversial entry into the World Cup.

On Life

So I'm watching TV and I realize that the commercials are telling me something. No, not to buy some of their products but to give up my dream of inventing a teleportation machine. The UTI technical college said "Technicians will be around for a VERY long time."
They're secretly saying that I there will never be a teleportation machine, AND that cars and in turn, technicians will ALWAYS be around.

I have a definite feeling that the government is watching me! Hopefully, I'm just that narcissistic and I'm wrong. We shall see.

Advice

I've said this countless times. Communication is key. And she can do it! I can not be upset, mad or angry for any reason. She talked to me to let me know what the plan was or how it needed to change. I can't be bent out of shape. Yes, I'm not happy because I can't spend time with her, but I am happy because she can talk to me about it. I really do enjoy this girl.

On a side note:
Why is it that whenever I start to get involved with someone, all other girls suddenly become interested in me? Once they see the light go out, they pounce and attack. This drives me up the wall! You had your chance. I'm with someone else. Don't ruin it for me because I don't like you. If I haven't tried to get to know you or take you out on a date then please don't bring your woes into my life by causing trouble for me. I want to be happy just as you do. But there are far greater people in the world than myself. Find them. They can make you smile bigger than I can.

I Enjoy Her

She is excited to see me. I am excited to see her. I toss and turn all night long waiting for the day that she can grace my presence again. I want her to smile all day. I want to be better for her. I need to go workout again. I want to be greater for her and for myself. I enjoy every moment we are together.

Stuff Today

I shall post pics and the events for my daily activities today, later today.

What Happened This Time...

No idea how I find myself in this position again. It is getting to the point that I don't want to take advantage of like this ever again. It is making me sick how you can say one things and do the EXACT opposite. It is mind boggling. I'm astounded at how this has happened a second time. My question now is...Do you really like me? Do you really have time for a relationship? A real relationship? Don't say the things that you do, and run the other way! It's confounding. Did I really get suckered again? What did I do to deserve this? You must take into consideration the feelings of others. Especially the one you are interested in. On one hand I'm quite frustrated and ready to move on. On the other, she has true potential. On the first hand, should I move on it would only be to rekindle the love that I know I had in my hands. On the other, I can move on to a new beginning.

Tuesday!!

Today is Tuesday. I have to work. However, I only found out about this yesterday. Kinda peeved, but there is the option of going to a late show. Hopefully that is possible.

New Day

So I'm glad that Tuesday is tomorrow. Things need to be done and talked about with this coming date. I enjoy talking with this girl...a lot. But like I have said before: Communication is key. I shall only take it day by day. And I shall make my feelings known. This time I will be a tad bit more authoritative. But not pushy. I don't want to scare her away. Just to let her know my feelings about her and where I stand.

Last Night

I did not expect that at all. I was hoping for some fun, maybe a kiss. But her friends were there, so I understand. I ended up having a blast. Her voice. Her accent is just too sexy to pass up. I consider myself enthralled by her. I can't tell if its a good thing or bad thing.

On the other hand, the girl that I have communication problems with still doesn't want to call or text back. How much more obvious can I make it that if you call, I will answer. No matter what time it is. I had such high hopes for her. But it is all but vanished without trace because of the lack of communication. I can run into a wall only so many times before I get a headache.

Then there is the situation of Saturday. Sunday. And possibly Monday. I have been deprived for so long but it is just too tempting to pass up. But I think it is going to happen. It better be good.

Wednesday

Football practice today.
Bringing a buddy with me to play.
I want Friday to be here.
At least I'm off on Friday.
I do want to see this girl too.
Very cute.
Don't want to push it too hard.
I need to finish my laundry.
I am way behind on this.
Need to catch up and push it.
Then Saturday, Sunday and Monday might be hectic.
We shall see.
I just know that it is getting quite hard to keep focused.

Fashion Show @ The Four Seasons

White Party. Models. Girls. Pretty girls. Guys. Photos. Drinks. Flashing lights. Laughter. How did I get caught up in all this? Just a last minute call is all it takes apparently. Meeting new people. that's always the fun part. I used to be shy. Not as much anymore. "Make them laugh!" That seems to be my motto while at these events. I did meet a pretty girl after the show. I have no idea how it happened but I'm glad it did. And I'm glad I could open my mouth and talk to her. Also I'm glad that I didn't have anything to drink so I was in my right mind.

Advice

Some days I need to take my own advice. To relax. To calm down. You can't control everything so just chill. I admit I am not perfect and in that regard I will have to apologize.
My words of wisdom today are:
Be patient. Be the one to communicate first. Make the most of what you are dealt for today.

I missed a day

Crap. No reason for my tardiness. Just didn't keep track of time like I needed to. Very sorry about that. That just means that I get to write all day today while at work and give all ya'll a hopefully long story about my life! I promise it'll be more interesting than you think.

Writing

Sitting here at my computer.
Can't think of anything interesting to say.
Or write.
Things that I should say, I can't think of.
Things I can't think of are slowly coming to me.
But I can't say them.
Just to have someone to hold.
To talk to.
To hold onto and never let go.

And here are pictures from Japan!!

Here it is...

I'm gonna lay it all out there now. I promised myself to only write poems about positive things, and I shall. However, I have a few things I need to get off my chest first.

1.If you say you like someone...like them. Playing with emotions is juvenille.
2.Call every once in a while. In fact, texting isn't bad. The point is, stay in touch...Somehow.
3.Communication is crucial for me.
3a.If you don't/can't communicate, don't bother with trying to get to know me.
3b.If you still want to get to know me then you need to work on communication.
4.If you can't do any of the above. I will be upset in some way shape or form. I won't take it out on you. I promise. I will take it out on opposing players on the football pitch.
5.I will make every effort to give you the time and space to do what you need to do. I am very busy as I'm sure you are as well.
6.Further continuance of trying to get to know me without doing ANY of the above will result in me completely shutting you off. I get along better with my ex of two and a half years..She knows how to communicate, therefore I have no ill will towards her.

The key for me is effort. If you can show me that you want to work to make the relationship work, I can and will work with you. If I see no effort, you get no response from me. I refuse to "spin my wheels" while you lolligag. I've been there done that. No more. I made a promise to myself and if you know me, I keep my promises no matter what.

Dreads

So I started my dreadlocks last Thursday. I've been wanting to grow them out for a while now. I used to cut my hair supremely short growing up, and in the last few years I have wanted to grow out my hair. I used to think that I looked better with short hair. Then after a while I got used to longer hair. I realized you can do soo much more with hair than without. Yes, people took notice. Yes, I didn't mind the attention but also I liked the aspect of just letting nature take its course. After doing some of my own research, I found that this was the same reason for some religions to have dreadlocks.

My reason for going to dreadlocks is because the afro was too much work to maintain and I'm not that retro. I am not going to do cornrows for the rest of my life because I would look too gangster, which is one thing I am not. Dreads, like me, are simple, they require patience, and you can still have a lot of fun with them. Another good book to read on is Dreads.

Sunday Sunday

Today was a good day. I had fun with my friends playing football. Good laughs, good football, good friends, and a pretty good day outside. Sun came out for a little bit. I played well. Watched some friends play really well and win their division title. Had a really great day. Wished I could've talked to my girl for a little today. Made new friends the past few days. I'm glad I'm not as shy as I used to be. I've learned a lot over the past year about myself. I'm glad I can notice how I've changed for the better. I am no longer afraid to speak my mind. I can say how I feel to anyone now a days.

I need to start writing again. I have found a new muse. I have found a fire to write about that makes my heart fly high. I need to start writing again. Soon.

Let the creativity flow!!

For Charity

Today at 9am I will be playing in a charity match. Arsenal v. Chelsea fan match. I can't wait to get out there and play with everybody! And what's more is that it goes to help one of the fans rebuild his house that was burned down on Christmas. I enjoy helping people out and especially if others I care for vouch for them and give me a background story. This is a link to the Chelsea supporters, Jens is a buddy of mine who I respect greatly. He is one of the reasons why I consider myself stolen from England. Playful banter back an forth at the pub is how it is over in England. However, here in the states if you so much as say, "You're team is overpaid shite." Someone wants to fight you. I don't agree with that. It's called the beautiful game. Nike has ads for Joga Bonito . Adidas has, El Maestro, Zidane, as the finder of certain key players that every team needs.

Note to self. Promise to everyone.
It all changes from here on out.

Working Out

I need to get in shape. So bad. Now. Ok here it goes!
I want to look good for my girl. I want to look good for me. I don't want to look good for anyone else. I'm oblivious to the eyes of those who scrutinize and nit pick. I pick on myself enough as it is. I shall put my body to the test. I shall make it into a hard rock of muscle. Just not too much. I want to be powerful yet gentle. Controlled fury in a human shell.

Now I'm off to 24 Hr Fitness of William Canon. Join me? I'll be the one sweating!!

First off...

This is the first one. I shall talk about nothing more than things that are happening in my life, events, occurrences, romance, friends, good things, bad things, people who are awesome, things I should do, things I would encourage you to do, and funny things. I'm a quite light hearted guy and I roll with the punches. Though I don't like to be punched I just pretend it hurts and keep on going.

My mantra that I live by is; "Always persevere".

To me this means that NO MATTER what happens, you have to keep going. The reason being for that is that when I lost my Grandfather, something struck me about the entire wake, and funeral. I met so many people who knew him and they wanted to come up to me and shake my hand just so they could know his namesake...Needless to say I knew that I had big shoes to fill. But everyone that I met told me that after talking with me they knew I would be great.

...Wow...

I wanted to cry. I did cry. And it still is hard for me 5 years later every September. But I keep on going and it has gotten better for me. I have surrounded myself with people I love. I have found a girl that makes me soar. And I live my life to make my Grandfather proud.
