Umm...oops.

Well, I missed last week. I overslept...had a late night and missed my alarm. But only because I had some friends back from college. I hadn't seen them in a while so I wanted to hang out with them. Which led to me missing out on my Saturday blog. But even so, here's how my two weeks have been. Last week was an amazing week. It always is when I see my good friends again. That Sunday, I had my soccer game as usual. I can't remember if we won or not though. But unfortunately, when I was putting pressure on the other team, I ended up spraining my ankle. Not badly, but enough that I felt it for the rest of the week. Fast forward to Wednesday. I saw the first friend from college. We actually did a lot...we went to see two different movies. We saw The Book Thief first. Overall, it was a pretty good movie. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the movie had no climax. It was a straight storyline, something that I'd have changed. But other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Before the second movie, we went to Ram's horn and had a snack. But, of course, I couldn't help but order my fish and chips. It's the curse of Ram's Horn on my life. Forever needing to buy fish and chips. Second, we saw The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. That was pretty solid. Same idea as the first with a few tweaks here and there. Or as my coworker says, second verse, same as the first. We did that and then had a good chat before calling it a night. On to Thursday, which was Thanksgiving. I'm not a huge fan of holidays...holidays get me down for some reason. But Thanksgiving came nonetheless. We had a couple of relatives over and skyped my aunt who lives in another state. Then my brother and I played FIFA 14 until the night was over. Not too shabby of a day. Friday came along, and I was supposed to hang out with another good friend of mine. Unfortunately, his grandpa was close to passing away, and his family was staying together. The grandpa was in another state, but the family was here because of Thanksgiving. So I said to stick with his family. They come first. Friday night brought other plans though. My friend from Wednesday called me up and asked if I wanted to go watch a play with him and his mom. A few minutes after that, my friend called up and asked if I wanted to hang out with him. So I called the first guy back and asked if we could all go and he said sure. So I called the second guy up and asked if he wanted to go watch a play with us. His first question about it? "Is it cool?" He cracks me up sometimes. The play was a version of "It's a Wonderful Life." It was in the setting of a radio station and people would come up and read lines off paper as if they were doing a radio presentation for Christmas, complete with commercials and everything. It was really cool actually. So that was nice. Saturday I finally got to hang with the friend I was supposed to hang with on Friday. He and I basically did nothing except for watch Youtube videos. He and I usually have majorly deep conversations, but with only a short time to hang out, it was more just having fun. After a few hours of hanging out, I had to go to soccer. As usual, I did well (luckily), and scored a few goals. I even scored one as a goalie! But other than that and a backheel goal out of the air (which I got kinda lucky on, but still felt awesome), it was so-so for me. I couldn't dribble to save my life. Gotta get that control work in more. I usually stick around after my game is over and just relax, but I left early and picked up my cousin so we could hang out at the same friend's house. We played some FIFA 14 and relaxed but not much else. We I then took my cousin back home and stayed up at my house for a while. Thus concludes my week. Pretty busy but lots of fun.

This past week wasn't anything really special. Especially compared to last week. I had basketball on Monday night, which went decently well. Thursday afternoon I had Chipotle for lunch and that was really good. I hadn't had it in a while. Yesterday I didn't do anything, really. I'm watching that dog again. That dog belongs to the family that has my friend and the one that grandpa had died. So their family is a pretty good friend of mine. And that brings me to today. Pretty much a nothing week so far. Tonight is soccer, so that'll help me. I guess that's what I get for not blogging on Saturday. But I should be a little better next week. You all have a good week.

Nothing happens...except soccer. Go figure.

So this week has been one of those weeks of nothing. Nothing really has been significant enough to mention. Except soccer, of course. Last Saturday I went out to a 5-a-side soccer tryout. Basically, everyone that went got to play, but it was a kind of showcase so that captains could decide who they wanted to be on their team. I knew a few people, and that made it a whole lot easier to jump in. I did pretty well, and even wow'd a few people. It was kinda funny after games when captains would come up to me and ask me questions. I felt like I was a 'hot prospect.' But most people probably got asked questions so it wasn't anything special, but I enjoyed it. When I went to pay, though, I found out that there's a lot more to this league than I thought. It's an Islamic sports outreach group. There's an Islam 101 class to attend on Saturdays before the soccer games. There are projects and other things to do as well. And all of it is part of a points-based system. And there's a percentage to attain to. As long as I have above a 60% point percentage, I can play the full time. If I'm below that 60% I have to sit out for the first 5 minutes of the game. If I'm below 50%, I have to sit out for the first 7 minutes of the game.  It'll be interesting to see what all happens with this league. After that, though, nothing much has happened this week. I just worked and played Assassin's Creed IV. Still enjoying that game. I think I'm pretty close to the end...it'll be interesting what happens with that game. But other than that, I really have nothing to add. I tend to stay away from doing stuff in public much anymore. Actually, Tuesday night I went out to look for a few things I need to get. The weird part was that I felt like it was a little late for me to be out...even though it was only 7:30. I'm a strange person. But eh. I'll probably always be that weird. But tonight is soccer!! I'm excited to play tonight. I'm hoping that how well I did last week isn't just gonna be one of those things where I did well one week then crash another. Because that happens. More than I'd like to admit. But there's no other way to find out than to get out there and play! That's all from me...yup.

Dogs, assassins, and breakdowns.

So I've actually been keeping up with this...I thought about what to post and I remembered to come in and write this. So hopefully it'll stay like this. But not too bad of a week. Started out by doing that digging job I mentioned earlier. Surprisingly enough it only lasted for a few hours. That was a pleasant surprise. I was also watching a friend's family's dog while they were gone. A very smart and obedient dog. She would go lay in her bed when I'd say 'time for bed.' But one incident made me laugh. She has a frisbee that is her favorite toy. Whenever I'd come over, she'd grab it and we'd play for about an hour. One night I was feeling exhausted and I was laying there. She wanted to keep playing so she kept pushing the frisbee toward my face. I kept saying no, so she gave up on that. But she was desperate to play. She laid down, put both front paws on my arm, and pushed the frisbee into my hand. That was pretty funny. But other than that, it was a nice time watching her. Then I headed into the week. This week has been pretty average, except for there wasn't much work going on for me. Not enough molds. That made for a few early days. Which is always kinda nice for me. Tuesday I bought Assassin's Creed IV. Been playing that for a few days and I like it. It feels about the same in the animus, but the first-person experience outside of the animus has been pretty interesting. Plus all the little nods to past Assassin's Creed games has been really awesome. I've been really excited to find all the little secrets. I've been a big fan of the series. So much so, that I bought a hidden blade. Yup...nerd haha. But beside the game, I haven't done much else. Just my usual chill and chores. The rest of the week went by decently fast. Friday was pretty quick and I got a free lunch out of it. I ate at a place called Lim's with a coworker and they offered to buy lunch. Got my usual there: almond boneless chicken. As per usual, it was delicious. Loved it. And the egg roll, of course, was awesome. Along with the chicken fried rice. Just an awesome meal all around. So that was great. Friday involved me pretty much watching the USA men's soccer team play a game against Scotland and sleeping. I felt exhausted that afternoon. Later that day, I did some dishes then went to bed. I was feeling pretty down that night (I went to bed at like 8 and that's not really normal). Once I laid down, I freaked out. Every now and then, I lose faith in myself  and crash. It's never a pretty sight. But eventually I got to sleep and that brings me to today. Got some yard work to do and then maybe clean my room a little. Plus I have soccer tonight...That always helps me. But that's about it. Same time next Saturday.

Once again, it's been a while. (also, Saturday posts from now on)

Maybe I should write on this blog more? I'm not sure. I guess I could. I'm gonna be on this on Saturday mornings, I'm thinking. It's kinda nice to come here and just relax. No pressure and no one to bother you. Plus the occasional friend who happens to run in here. Just to clarify, I'm at a coffee place. Which shouldn't make sense, considering that I don't like anything coffee related or anything warm or hot. But it's still a nice place. It's been a long time since I've been on here. Just kinda got away from it. Lost interest. I tend to do that with most stuff. It's awesome for a while, but only for a little while. Then I find something else or just drift away. I guess there's no push or need to continue on this. That's probably why. I don't have a need to write on here. Anyway, what's gone on since my last post? Ah, yes. I haven't posted since April...wow. Sheesh. But I had been freshly broken up with the ex. Well, not much has changed there - still single. And gonna continue that for a long long time. But still working at the foundry. Plans are in the works though...might get promoted in the near-distant future. We're working on opening the other building we own down the street and I could get moved to that spot. If that happens, there's a chance (not sure how much of one but still) that I could be a boss down there. If that happens, I may just get a raise (possibly a salary??) and be set for myself. That would be so very nice for my future. I could be set with money and probably a place and then chill on my own. Kinda disappear a little. I might change things around if that happens, though. Maybe I'll get over all the shyness. Become a little more normal. Or ok. Whichever way you put it. But I'm sure that would change things a bit. Of course, this is all just thoughts of what could happen IF the plans go through. But there's also a chance that none of this could happen. Which is a good possibility. But one can hope, right? I don't usually hope for anything, but I guess this is one thing I'm hoping about. The only thing. But other than that job, there's really nothing new in my life. I've been doing soccer all year round. One session ends, another begins. Soccer's my escape. Well, sports in general, but soccer is the major escape. I never do extremely well, but I try. I actually just started a session last Sunday. We lost by one. But it was still a good game. But that's pretty much it. I guess this'll be a Saturday thing. Every morning I'll start around 8 and type till I finish. Guess I'll see how that goes. But we all know how I do with stuff like this normally. Or like every time I've said how often I'd do this post. But I'm thinking this one will stay for a while. We'll see. Anyway, enjoy your day. Time to go dig some holes. Literally. I'm gonna help a friend out. But yeah. Do something awesome today.

Back.

I'm back. Hopefully I'll be posting more often? Who knows? We'll just have to see. But yeah...lots has happened. I saw that the last few posts were a while ago...time to bring you all back into the loop. Still loving my cleats...they're doing very well. Enjoying playing with those bad boys. But I'll post in my other blog about those. But on to other business. Life's been a big dick, to be honest. Work's been the same, so nothing new about that. We had a guy for about a month work with us who was lazy as heck. He just refused to actually work and felt a little too self-entitled to keeping his job. But eventually everyone got fed up with him. So one day he was late to work and called in 3 hours later and claimed he was sick. The boss said just stay in bed and don't come back. Boom. Fired. It was a fairly good choice. So we're back to our basic workers. And it's been decent. Sports has been decent so nothing to talk about there. So far, it hasn't been too bad for me.

    Now onto the not-so-fun part. Two weeks ago, around this time, I broke up with my (now ex) girlfriend. It wasn't a fight or over something we disagreed on. In fact, we pretty much agreed on everything that was said. We were just growing apart. There were a few things that we knew might separate us (different choices that were made etc.) and we both thought that things were just being strained too much. So, unfortunately, things didn't work out. If the chance provides and the circumstances are right, we'd be more than happy to get back together. Of course it's been tough, and I've been writing stuff just for myself. Kinda why I've stayed away from here. So that was kinda not too pleasant. I guess I'm just thankful it didn't end up in a fight. Such is life.

    But moving on. My tax papers also screwed me over. Apparently I had signed as exempt...oops. Although I'm not quite sure why I did that. I probably just read something wrong or something else...I wouldn't normally do that. Hmm. So I had to clear almost my entire bank account to pay for that. Fun! So that definitely was not welcome. 

    Those are the things that life decided to hurt me with. But you live, you learn. Hopefully I'll be adding more stuff on here as I go. Hoping to keep short but not too short posts on here with the occasionally long post. But it's time for rest. Tomorrow's gonna be...nothing. But still, sleep. Good night everyone...have a fantastic weekend and go do something crazy.

 

Gonna be a late night.

It's been a while. (just noticed this is the same title as last time but I'm keeping it because I'm too lazy to change it even though I'm making it twice as long with this explanation.)

It's been a while since I've posted here. Life gets ahead of you, things trail to the back of your mind, the usual. But since I'm still up and have done everything else I've wanted to tonight, I figured why not? Let's post something random. So here it is. Another post. Woot. Not too much happening in my life...same old, same old. Got a new pair of soccer cleats!! Probably gonna be the highlight of my week. $200 for those puppies...yes, I know it's a lot, but for me, that's worth it. But other than that not much else has happened. My life is fuuuuuun. Well, I should sleep now...I gave it a shot. Time for rest...and in the morning, work.
