Last Blog for English class..

2005-12-08T12:54:00.000-05:00

So there are many things i did notice throughout this whole blogging experience. I noticed that i didnt need something to write about, such as a research topic. I also found out that writing down my thoughts and experiences at times could be extremely fun. We were asked if we ever found a moment of magic during this semster while writing these blogs and I would say that i did with one blog particular. It was the blog that won me blog of the week, the about me getting hit in the eye. It was fun to know that i was reaching out to a different type of audience and not have to worry a whole lot about if the teacher thought it was a well structured paper. All and all i was pleased with my blogging experience!

WOW its that time of year!

2005-12-06T10:41:00.000-05:00

So the Keene State mens soccer team came to an end this weekend in the New England Region finals in the NCAA's. Its been an amazing run, one in which our team has gone further then any Keene State has gone in its division 3 history. Our team reached at its best was ranked 7th in the country and at its lowest 18th. We went undefeated in the little east conference and captured the regular season conference title. Our first round game, we destroyed Wheaton College, a top 25 team 4 to 1 and what could easily be called our best game of the year. Its werid to think that next year the seniors that i have become such great friends with won't be on the team anymore. But next season is a new year, one in which are hoping to go even further then this year.

Yes it was just one of those great weekends...

2005-11-08T11:01:00.000-05:00

Have you ever needed one of those weekends that just refreshed you completely and made you so happy that you just smile thinking about it? Well i needed one of those weekends bad especially after our soccer team got upsetted in the LEC semi finals. The weekend started on friday for me because I decided to caught a bus home to Providence that left at 815 i got home in the afternoon and just hung around my house which was very relaxing. I then went and hung out with two of my best buddies from home that go URI. We went to see the open mic on their campus and then we went and hung out at his place for a bit. After seeing them i meet up with my ex girlfriend that goes to school in miami who i havent seen for 10 weeks. I was worried that stuff between us was going to be werid but it wasnt at all it was awesome. So i spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with her. Sadly enough I had to say good bye to her and come back to school. When i got back to school i recieved some more good news to make my weekend complete, that my team got an at large bid for the NCAAs. It couldnt get too much better then that!

Ahhh I am going to be so poor soon

2005-11-01T10:34:00.000-05:00

So this past weekend was going great, the soccer team won the LEC conference regular season title and I went home and had an awesome party with a bunch of my close friends. Everything seemed to going prefectly till Sunday when i was time for me to come back to school. One of my friends that went to Keene and needed a ride back was over a the Roger Williams University so i said i would go pick him up. Of course this is when everything went wrong. On the way over I got into a car accident. Nothing to bad but im going have to dish out so serious money that obviously do no have just laying around. So basically i going to be sooooooo poor now.

Why does this rain ruin everything?

2005-10-18T10:57:00.000-04:00

So this weekend the Keene State men’s soccer team was suppose to have a big game at Rhode Island College. This game could potential determine who was in first place and second place. I also am from Rhode Island so I know lots of the kids on the team. The best part of this weekend was that my brother, who goes to school at Clemson, in South Carolina, came up for the game. I haven't seen my brother Dan for a few months at that point because he lives down at school all year long. So to say the least I was extremely excited for the game. We had practice on Friday and I found out that our game got pushed back till Sunday. This was horrible news because this meant I could go out with my friends after the game on Saturday and that I couldn’t spend that night with my bro. So I got over it and I figured that I would just stay Sunday night. So Saturday came rolling along with another beautiful day of rain. Around 6 that night I heard my game had been cancelled. To say the least I was very pissed that one the game got cancelled and that two no one told me till so late so I couldn't get a ride home. Luckily I got a ride home the next day and was able to hang out with my bro for that night. As you can see though this is why the rain sucks so much.

Damn flood....

2005-10-10T13:44:00.000-04:00

So as I am sure everyone has noticed the town of Keene is flooded. At first I was really excited because I heard there was going to be some class cancellations. This was before I went down to the soccer field and saw that it was under 4 feet of water. So I thought to myself "Where are we going to play?" Initially I thought that we would play on the intramural fields or even maybe on the Keene High School field. Today I found out that we might have to play on the road for the rest of the year. That means we would have seven away games to finish up the season. Some people might be wondering why this would be such a bad thing. Home field advantage is an extremely important part of sports. Take for instance the Red Sox. At home they had one of the best records in baseball but when they were on the road they were just barely over 500. So hopefully the flooding goes down so we can play on your field again.

My damn eye...i better win blogger of the week

2005-10-04T10:59:00.000-04:00

So this weekend was suppose to be awesome, one of the best weekend since coming back to school. It was homecoming, my friends and family were coming up to see the game, and of course there are lots of parties. The weekend started the way it was suppose to. My friends arrived on Friday, and it was great to see them again. Saturday was game day and we took down Plymouth state 1 to 0 and our record went up to 9 and 1. So now the only thing left to do was to party. After my parents took me and my friends out to get some food it was time to get serious and get down to business. We went to my friend's room and met up with 10 other people to pre-game for a little while. Once we were satisfied with our pre-game I wanted to take my friends to a party. It was starting to get a little late so I called a few people and found out the party we were planning on going to had gotten broken up. So my mistake was to say, "Hey lets go to the frat". It was a typical frat party, a hundred people crammed into the basement of the dirty house. 2:30 rolled around and 2 of my friends wanted to head back to hang out in my room to drink a little more. So of course I was down for anything, I just had to go tell my other friend I was leaving and to meet me back at my room. When I got back outside my friend and a frat brother we exchanging some words. This is when things went down hill. My friend pushed the frat brother and before I knew I saw the frat brother trying to go after him. So like a good friend I try to get in the middle of the two and break up the fight. Bad idea! Instead the stupid frat brother decided to punch me in the face. Still, I decided to walk away. Next thing I knew the frat brother came up behind me and punched me right in the face. So to quicken up the story I ended up going to the emergency room because my eye got swollen to the size of a baseball. What did I learn this weekend u might ask? That frats are retarded and that getting punched in the face sucks as much as I had always thought it would. If you want to make me feel better, vote for me for blog of the week ha.

Mudball

2005-09-27T10:55:00.000-04:00

So as I'm sure everyone in Keene noticed yesterday it was beautiful out! The clouds were out and the rain was pouring down. Luckily for me I had soccer practice in these great conditions. As soon as I got my cleats on the rain started to come down harder. The wind picked up and cool air blew over my face, and I thought this is was being a soccer player is all about. Practice was amazing! We played a few different games; everyone was soaked with water and mud. The best game we played was an 8 on 8 game that required your team to pass the ball through two cones for a goal. The coach yelled at first one to 8 wins. Everyone on the team picked up the intensity. Bodies we flying, the ball was skipping and for the next 30 minutes the two teams of 8 battled it out. To say the least the better team won, my team. Practice came to an end and after a team cheer it was time to head back to the room. So my tip to everyone this week is to play some soccer in the rain, trust me you will have a good time.

What a way to start my day

2005-09-20T11:08:00.000-04:00

So yesterday was just one of those days, you know those days that you know that are going to suck. The night before my roomate decided to start his four hours of homework at 11 at night. Instead of being considerate and maybe turning his music off he acually turned it up and started to sing along with it. To top it off I was so tired for the weekend and alls i wanted to do was to get some sleep. Finally despite my roomates best attempts to keep me awake, i fell asleep just to be woken up at 7 in the morning by the fire alarm. I went back to sleep and was woken up once again by my roomates alarm. What a great way to start my day.

Texas Hold'em Poker Proposal

2005-09-13T13:11:00.000-04:00

Texas Hold’em Poker, the new craze in the United States, is sweeping over the country with a vengeance. Each day more people go to the casino and drop thousands of dollars on high stacks games and wined up leaving the casino with nothing left to there name.
The truth of the matter is that gambling is exhilarating; it gives an individual a certain rush that can only be found when money is on the line. Every person that goes into the casino has their own get rich quick scheme, imaging all the new and fancy things they could buy with the new and profound wealth. The most significant problem is that some people do not know when to cut their loses and leave. Everyone knows that while gambling the odds are mathematically against you, if they weren’t there would be no casinos left. Yet, everyone seems to think they are going to be the next big winner.
Although in Texas Hold’em you are not playing against the house, there are still professions that play at minimal stacks games and hustle the amateurs. One of the reason why gambling has become such a problem is because once a person goes down they feel they need to continue to play so they can at least make their money back. One game turns into two and two to four and each time the person tells themselves that next time they will win, as there bank account slowly dwindles into nothing.
There are so many heart wrenching instances of people that clearly have a gambling problem and throw there lives away for the thrill. It is distressing to hear these stories about how some gamblers go to the casino to have a good time and end up losing there houses over a few quick games.

My weekend...(make sure you read to the end)

2005-09-12T19:57:00.000-04:00

So I am sitting here and I trying to think of something to type about. I know what your thinking how can I not know what to talk about there is a million things that have happened over the course of this last week. That is true a lot of awesome things have happened like, the Keene State men’s soccer team won a huge game against Wheaton, a team that hasn’t lost at home since 2003. This should push our team to a top 10 appearance in the coach’s poll and either a number 1 or 2 ranking the New England. You know what this calls for, a celebration. As soon as we got off the bus it was time to party. The night was awesome; a group of my close friends from the team, some girls and me went party to party. Before I even knew it was time to head back. After some close encounters with the police, I made it back to my friends dorm where I was going to crash. You might be asking yourself why didn’t I go back to my own room? The answer is simple; it was being “occupied” by a nice young girl and my roommate. My day and night was going really well to this point but the best was to come. A few of my friends head down to see my other friend. When we opened the door there was a naked girl in his bed.

This blog discussed a serious topic byt used humor to make it still fun to read.

Lets talk about sports!

2005-09-05T18:52:00.000-04:00

The United States of America what an awesome place to live in! When one thinks about our society many things may come to mind, government, money, patriotism etc. When I sit back and truly think about what makes America America I think of sports. Personally I think all others countries do not like us, not because we bomb them or patrol the world like police but because we dominate every sport around. Sports turn people into savages in the blink of an eye. Just take a Boston Red Sox's fan and put him next to a Yankees fan, turn a game on for them to watch and see how long it takes for one to punch the other. In the past there has been sports that other countries used to rein supreme over the United States in, like soccer. Ahh soccer, the pride and join of all Europeans, it is the one sport they could say they were the best at. When any European team saw the United States in their brackets for the World Cup or the Olympics they would laugh and count it as an automatic win. That’s no longer the case now the United States is one of the leading teams to win the World Cup, being ranked 6th in the world. Ah how great is it to be an American? Soon enough we will win the World Cup and will have won in ever sport around!

My exciting life

2005-09-01T12:41:00.000-04:00

Sometimes I wonder how my life became so exciting. Each and everyday I wake up around the same time and I basically do the same things. The sun comes up and goes down. The earth spins around the sun, winter becomes summer and summer becomes fall, life truly is a routine. When I sit and think about it I wonder how I ever get excited about life, then I realize that absolutely everything can amuse me. Yes, I am one of those people that laugh at those stupid jokes that most people think are immature and childish. Some people might say to me that I am just an immature person and I need to grow up but, the way I look at it is that I am keeping life exciting. There is no better feeling then to be doing nothing and loving every second of it. Of course I look forward to those days when there is something fancy, involving money, planned but, I also love just hanging around with a group of friends telling jokes and relaxing. Now-a-days most people are too wrapped up in the "drama" of their life to just sit back and take in what’s good about the world today. So my tip to the world is to let out a good laugh or two, sit back and relax and your life, I guarantee, will be more exciting just like mine.
