It's been so long since I've last posted! Why? I'd like to give you some kind of decent excuse as to how busy I was but in all honesty I was just plain ol' lazy. What's new with me though? I'll try to list it all to the best of my abilities.
- The Crazy 88's Soccer team has improved ten fold! Not without the help of a new recruit by the name of AJ. He's 15 and has the stamina of a horse and the skill of Pele....well heh not that much skill but he has some pretty good skills that has given him at least one goal per game. As for the rest our team we have improved a lot since our first two games of the year. Our passing is really good now and our goalie is amazing as well. We still have to practice clearing the ball out of our zone when we get a goalie kick and perhaps better coverage of your position. But besides that we have been doing awesome with a 5-3 record! Yeah who knew we could actually win 1 game let alone 5? Crazy! Go Crazy 88's!
- I recently joined the Crazy 88's city football team as well. My first game was yesterday and we destroyed! We are in the beginner's league but yesterday we played like pro's. All 6 of us managed to catch one or run one into the endzone. At first I wasn't going to play in this league because I didn't think I'd have time too. But a few people have screwed over Andrew by either quitting the team or not showing up at all when they said they would. So yesterday he was pretty screwed, the game is 5 on 5 and he only had 4 on his team, so he asked me to play and I agreed. And I am glad I did because it was a lot of fun! Tuyet was out there too, not playing, but cheering us on. She is now officially the Crazy 88's cheering section, heh.
- The entire team (5 + Tuyet) went to Yamato for 20% off sushi right after the game. And I must say I was very impressed! Usually Tuyet and I don't stray away from our love of Sakana but we decided to try it as the rest of the team was going. And I'm glad we did! It was so yummy! Usually when Tuyet and I go to Sakana we order the 30 piece love boat plus extra sushi on the side. But even after all that sushi we don't feel satisfied at times. However at Yamato we had 8 pieces of sushi and it was so filling and satisfying! That's because each piece of sushi was huge and the rice was so little. It was so big that I had trouble picking up the pieces of sushi at times! Crazy! We are definitely going back more often. Sorry Sakana....feels like we're cheting on you but we have found better....hehe.
- I went on an amazing trip to Saskatoon with Tuyet during Canada Day Long weekend. I didn't go visit old friends because I didn't feel the urge too. But I went back to see the place where I grew up for 15 years of my life. It was heartwarming to see my old schools and my old house and all the other landmarks that I remembered from my child hood. We did so many things together and took so many pictures (about 300pics!) and stayed at a fancy hotel to boot! We booked a Signature Club room with a guaranteed 6th floor room (8 levels total) and a river view. It was awesome. I have so much more to write about this trip so I'll leave it out for a later post that I can devote entirely to the trip.
- Chris's Birthday is coming up on August 6th, kinda stoked about it as partying with those guys is always fun. I wonder what a guy like him could use for his birthday. Stripper? Haha. Actually sounds like he is going to through a BBQ in his backyard, weather permitting of course. Now we just need games/activities to plan and play.
That's pretty much all I can think of to update at the moment, and I promise to try harder to update. I will also bring my camera out to the soccer game today and try to take some sweet pictures and post them up too. But that's it for now!
pieces,
Alex.
p.s. Andrew if you read this, we have to go fishing again....and sometime soon!
