Much to do about nothing

I feel like hell this week. It's Tuesday, best day of the week because of Scrubs, but I have to miss it. I am going to see a training session from our club director's father. He is a very well respected man within the English footballing community. He played at Derby County in the 70s, won the league twice and played against some great European competition.

Back to the lecture at hand, my whole body aches after a weekend of pure fun, enjoyment, and a vast amount of physical activity. First of all, I find it harder and harder to stay out later (without really feeling it the next morning atleast). I guess I am just getting older and doing much more during the day than at night. I used to be a tireless ball of energy, but not anymore. Saturday evening and night was a night of intense physical work I have not done in years. Some friends of mine and I played in a tourney. We played some good, consistent opposition. Our team failed to secure a result the entire weekend, but it was to be expected. It was the first time some of us had played together, so it really wasnt too surprising. Anyhow, it was fun and I really enjoyed playing with my buds.....even if I am still feeling it now.

As for another thing, I finally found someone who agrees with me on the whole Lampard / Gerrard issue. I contend and have for years that Frank Lampard is the best attacking midfielder that England has to offer. However, my friends who I believe are not looking deep enough at the issue and fairly evaluating say that Gerrard is better. However, my man Jimmy, our new english director at our club agrees with me. Simply put, as Jimmy did, Lampard is the one you can rely on year in and year out to score 20 goals a season.

SUPER FRANK

New U2 Single!

Sorry to be misleading, but cell phones and the weight room don't mix. If you want to call someone, call outside of the gym. If you want to workout, stop checking your damn phone all the time.....that is all

Recent events...

Recently I've been out of town and pondering my next blogging topics.... and came up with a few, so I am going to address them all here and now...

First up - 8 simple rules for surviving in st louis with your old soccer coach and one of your best mates. (at the NSCAA convention of course.

#8. Always be on alert. There are celebrities around you at all times and you need to be on point... If you are slow on the camera draw or with the quick wit to get their attention, thats your fault.
#7. Make sure that the taxi drops you off at the correct hotel... which will eliminate the 10-15 block walk in almost 0 degree weather to find the correct one.
#6. Be social.... its a great place to network or reconnect with friends and or old coaches. We met a cool girl named sarah.... case in point.
#5. Unless you are trying to fit in with the other few thousand coaches, you should probably pack more than training pants and tops. Its always nice to be part of a crowd, but when you look like every other jackass creeper, chicks wont talk to you. Have some individuality and wear normal clothing.
#4. Chat up the hot girls at the exhibits..... no further explanation needed
#3. Always make sure that people in the bar know you are friendly and from out of town... it will almost always lead to drinks being bought for you... or them kicking the shit out of u later in the alley... either way, you landed the free drinks. Bikers guys are nice... if you offer them some pizza.
#2. If its not nailed down, steal it. Take any sort of souvenir to remind you of your trip.
#1. Take advantage of the free beer in the exhibit hall on opening night. You make plenty of friends, box kangaroos, make asses out of yourself, and have good night.

-oh and one more thing, if you go with me, prepare to drink some beers and have some fun.

Next- These resolution a-holes need to stop pretending they are enjoying their workouts and get out of my gym. I'm tired of these worthless peons that take weights when I need them just so they can sit and chat with their wiener friends and ruin my good workout. I have a message for them.. " Get out, nobody likes you"

Next- The muse's new song or newly radio played song Supermassive Black Hole.... so tight, i recommend. Likewise, Britney and Gaga have been in my brain for weeks and I honestly like it. I swear every Gaga song makes her hotter and hotter in my head.

Lastly- School has started up again. I am ready to test my science noggin and push it to the extreme. Obama gets inagurated tomorrow, that should be pretty fantastic as well

until my next post.... get the beers in.

Scrubs absolutely dominates

Less than a hour before I am about to view the season premier for Scrubs, I find myself to be in a nostalgic mood. As most of my friends know, I am a huge Scrubs fan. I can not get enough. I have tried to think of a reason why, aside from its humor, interesting story lines, sometimes dramatic situations, and awesome characters. I think that in a nut shell, after you watch a show, you come away feeling at least one of these three ways.... 1. you've learned something. You may have learned a new joke, been taught a lesson in humility, or found some useless trivia knowledge. 2. you can identify with at least one of the main characters..... Turk and his confidence and awesome dance moves , JD and his ability to connect and show a genuine care for people, Carla and her constant gossiping and pulpit preaching to other, Dr. Cox and his knack for telling it how it is and his lovely people skills. Of course there are other characters... as far as I know or think Sarah Chalke is done, but I am not sure. (How I met You Mother throws me off there)... Dr. Kelso is gone... which I am not a fan of... whatever came out of his mouth was usually hilarious.... Of course the Janitor owns, but I feel bad for those who identify with him. Finally #3 the show has a way of leaving you wanting more, which all shows do, but it works individually... what will happen next with jd, carla and turk, dr cox and so forth....

I am ready to watch.... Courtney Cox better be funny or else I will be pissed.

Allow myself to introduce.....myself...

It's always an interesting challenge to try to describe yourself when asked to do so. I know no one asked, but I don't really give a shit, I'm going to do it anyways. I'm 25, a dude, and own at pretty much everything I do except: advanced math, paying attention to people I don't like (but then again, I think that could also be a strength...) following multiple directions at once, following posted speed limits, and the piano. I am however fairly intelligent, easily amused, a die hard football fanatic (that's soccer, however I will never reference it by soccer. its football, deal with it.) a fan of american college football, an absolute and complete music junkie, a non believer in religions, and devout follower of Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, and Big Bang Theory.

Now I realize that my self explanation is short, but I find it difficult to sum one's entire being up into a paragraph. Those are the main, highlights of me. This blog however, was created for two main reasons. I have come to realize recently that I am getting older and my ability to share my thoughts and feelings with my peers is getting harder and harder. Most of my friends have moved away and it is difficult to discuss and bitch about current events and yada yada yada. Additionally, I find that there are certain happenings in the world that are very much displeasing to me. I feel it is my moral right and obligation as both a human and an educator to voice my support or lack of support on basically anything. However, this will probably end up being a forum of rants and raves over sporting events, coaching moves, shitty players, awesome players, music, actors and/or shows, and whatever else pops into this wonderous head of mine.
