Soccer! School.. living on!

I know i have been doing a really poor job of keeping my blog updated, and the excuses are endless. all i can say is that i will try harder. well, the first soccer game has come and gone. it was a great way to start the season. we beat a hayden team who had, less then a week before, tied a SH team that many thought would win or be a power city team this year. and, it was a hayden team who had their best player go out for football! who is surprised. ne way, we won 6-0, and i had an assist. it was one of those games where you would love to pad the stats, but they were pretty balanced for the most part. we have never played that well together, and to do it in the game was awesome. next game-- tuesday, 3:30, Blue Valley North Complex, KCK. (in case anyone cared) we will get some good competition too. there are at least 2 state teams from last year, including the one that beat us 3-2 in DO. it would be really nice to beat them for the championship. WaRu is in the tournament too. two teams i would love more then anything to beat. (love in the soccer sense)

any week where we dont have to go for 5 days is a good week for me. Kayla (my sister) and her fiancee and their friends from florida got in late friday night and just left this morning. they were a lot of fun to be around. we went to the washburn football game on saturday. then saturday night we had dinner here with all of them and also my brother matt and his wife and jacqueline made an appearance also. we had a good time. sunday we went to church, then went to softball, which was fun until i like broke my thumb. i am going to feel really dumb if it messes up soccer for me. it wouldnt have been worth it at all. last night we had our last night with our guests and we just hung out and talked and some of us watched The Longest Yard. it was ok. it wasnt that good. not one that i would necessarily recommend.

SCHOOL!!! That is, in the exhaustive sense. it has gotten old really fast, but i guess that is how senior year is supposed to be. life is sad. whether we recognize it as being such, we are let down and disappointed every day. it is sad. but really, it only becomes unbearable when we let our attitude be controlled by our circumstances. thus, depression has a nesting place. psychology lesson #1. sorry, that's just how i work. no, but seriously, letting life get to you is one of the easiest ways to have a crappy life. sorry to break it to you, but its true. ne way, there is so much that happens that we just have to let go, and let God.

This was a poem i wrote spur of the moment. i just realized the power of words when used in honesty and sincerity.

Thank You

What more can be said
To someone who is admiring you,
Be that for ability, service,
or showed affection?

Is there anything more powerful
then the two words, that
spoken with the utmost sincerity
can make the day of whom you are speaking?

Simpole, but carrying so much meaning.
Complex, in the thoughts and emotions.
Confirming, of value and pleasure towards.
Perfect, in every way, for any occasion.
