WORLD CUP

SO WHO WATCHED THE WORLD CUP FINALS? I HAD TO WAKE UP EARLY ON THE BOTH DAYS TO WATCH IT, AND I DONT USUALLY WAKE UP EARLY FOR ANYTHING LOL. WELL THAT GAME SURE HAD EVERYTHING... AN OWN GOAL, A PENALTY KICK, A GOALIE SCREW UP, AND SOME REAL GREAT GOALS. THIS WHOLE WORLD CUP WAS SCREWY... COUNTRIES THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO BE IN DIDNT MAKE IT, TEAMS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO WIN LOST, TEAMS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO LOSE WON, TEAMS NOT MAKING IT OUT OF THE GROUP STAGE, UPSETS, COMEBACKS, AND A TON OF 90+ MIN GOALS... THIS IS WHY I DONT BET ON SPORTS ANYMORE... I USE TO BET ON SOCCER BUT THERES JUST TOO MANY VARIABLES AND UPSETS ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT CAN SCREW YOUR BETS UP. SPEAKING OF WHICH... I WAS IN A POOL THIS YEAR AND I WAS MOSTLY FIRST THROUGH THE ROUNDS UNTIL THE ENGLAND - CROATIA GAME... THAT GAME SCREWED ME!!! I DROPPED DOWN TO 3RD... NOW FOR THE FINAL, I EITHER GO WITH THE SAFE BET THAT I KNOW FRANCE WAS GOING TO WIN OR GO FOR THE UNDERDOG CROATIA WITH A FLUKE WIN, I WENT WITH FRANCE LOL. THAT WOULD MEAN THAT BOTH 1ST AND 2ND PLACE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO BET CROATIA TO WIN AND FRANCE WINS FOR ME TO WIN... THE FINAL WAS THE SAME POINTS AND THEY WERE AHEAD OF ME BY 1 AND 4 POINTS. WELL TURNS OUT THEY BOTH HAD CROATIA TO WIN SO I WON :) WOOOOOO THAT WOULD HAVE SUCKED IF I LOST BY 1 POINT LOL. STILL CANT BELIEVE I WON!!! ITS MY FIRST POOL THAT IVE EVER WON! NOW I HAVE TO CHOOSE A JERSEY I WANT... PROBABLY A DUTCH ONE LOL. NORMALLY I WOULDNT WANT FRANCE TO WIN... BUTTTTTTTT IF I WIN IL BET ON THEM ALL DAY LOL. IF IT WAS A FRANCE - ENGLAND FINAL... WELL THEN... IT WOULD BE A MUCH HARDER CHOICE. I WOULD WANT ENGLAND TO WIN, BUT FRANCE WAS STRONG... IT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN FRANCE ANYWAYS LOL. ENGLAND KEEPS UP THEIR TRADITION OF CHOKING IN THE SEMIS. OVERALL IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD WORLD CUP. BEST PART WAS WILL SMITH SHOWING UP OUT OF NOWHERE FOR THE CLOSING CEREMONY HAHA.

WHOS YOUR TEAM?

SO JUST A QUICK POST SINCE ITS LATE AND IM TIRED... AS USUAL LOL. ANYWAYS SO IVE GONE TO TWO HOCKEY GAMES THE PAST TWO WEEKS AND BOTH HAS BEEN A WIN. THIS IS QUITE RARE FOR MY TEAM, ESPECIALLY LATELY. WE HAVENT REALLY DONE GOOD THE PAST FEW YEARS, SINCE OUR CUP RUN WHERE WE MADE FINALS... AND BLEW IT. YES YES YOU CAN GUESS WHICH TEAM THAT IS LOL. ANYWAYS THE THING THAT I ALWAYS FOUND INTERESTING IS THAT THERE CAN BE HUNDREDS, THOUSANDS, TENS OF THOUSANDS, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, AND EVEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO WATCH A CERTAIN TEAM PLAY A CERTAIN SPORT. IT DOESNT MATTER IF ITS HOCKEY, SOCCER, FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, PING PONG, SWIMMING, OR WHATEVER THE DOZENS AND DOZENS OF SPORTS IT COULD BE, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE FANS. THERE IS THE NEW FAN, CASUAL FAN, BIG FAN, CRAZY FAN, AND DIE HARD FANS. THE THING WITH THIS IS THAT ALL THOSE FANS ARE JUST FANS... THEY DONT HAVE A REAL STAKE IN THE WHOLE THING. THE PLAYERS ARE THE ONES ON THE FIELD OR RINK OR COURT OR WHATEVER, PLAYING TO WIN AND PLAYING TO BE A CHAMPION. IF YOU PLAY SPORTS YOU WILL GET WHAT I MEAN. THOSE WHO PLAY THE SPORT WANT TO WIN, AND THOSE THAT WIN, YOU FEEL THE ACCOMPLISHMENT AND HAVE THE TITLE. IF YOU ARE A FAN, WHAT DO YOU GET? THE $15 HOT DOG AND $10 POPCORN AND $5 DRINK... THATS WHAT YOU GET. YOU MIGHT FEEL HAPPY FOR YOUR TEAM BUT YOU REALLY DONT GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT. EVERYTHING YOU PAY AND BUY IS ALL GOING TO THE PLAYERS. THEY ARE THE ONES MAKING MILLIONS OFF YOU WATCHING AND BUYING THEIR JERSEYS AND GEAR. GRANTED SOMETIMES THE FANS DO GET TO DICTATE WHAT GOES ON WITH YOUR TEAM, BUT MOST OF THE TIME YOU DONT. I DO SEE THE APPEAL OF GOING TO GAMES AND ENJOYING YOURSELF, EATING, CHATTING, WATCHING THE GAME. MAYBE YOU WANT TO GO TO SEE A GOOD PLAYER. EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO, BENEFITS THE TEAM, AND NOT  YOU. WHEN YOUR TEAM WINS, DO YOU REALLY WIN? DO YOU GET ANYTHING? YOU JUST GET TO SAY THAT YOU WERE THERE, YOU WERE A PART OF IT, BUT ARE YOU REALLY? DOES THE STAR PLAYER KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND COMES OVER TO SAY HI OR HANG OUT? NO. ALL THE PLAYERS KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME, AND I MEAN THE POLITICAL GAME. YOU SAKE SOME HANDS, TAKE A FEW PICTURES, AND SIGN SOME AUTOGRAPHS TO KEEP YOUR SALARY COMING IN. HEY DONT GET MY WRONG... IF I COULD BE A PRO ATHLETE AND MAKE MILLIONS BY PLAYING A SPORT I LOVE, I WOULD TOTALLY DO IT IN A HEARTBEAT. ITS JUST FUNNY TO ME. ALSO ALL THOSE DIE HARD FANS THAT KNOWS EVERY SINGLE STAT FOR EVERY SINGLE PLAYER FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS AND EVEN THEIR PERSONAL LIFE, WHATS IN THAT FOR YOU? DO YOU REALLY CARE THAT SOMEONE HAS A CERTAIN POINT % OR RBI OR YARDS OR ANYTHING? THIS JUST MAKES YOU THINK... WHAT AND WHO ARE YOU REALLY THERE FOR? WHY DO YOU LIKE THE TEAM THAT YOU DO? ITS INTERESTING WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE GOING CRAZY ABOUT THEIR TEAM. PSYCHOLOGICALLY SPEAKING FANS ARE JUST LOOKING FOR A SENSE OF BELONGINGNESS. THERE IS JUST A DIFFERENT CONNECTION WITH SOMEONE WHO IS ALSO A FAN OF THE SAME TEAM THAT YOU ARE. EVERYONE AND EVERY TEAM IS THE SAME. WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT EVERY FAN AND EVERY TEAM WILL WANT THEIR TEAM TO WIN AND THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN THEM, WHEN IN FACT, EVERYONE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. COMPETITION HAS ALWAYS BEEN AROUND, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, AND WILL ALWAYS BE AROUND. THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT. WHO IS BETTER, WHOS GOT MORE, WHOS WHO. ITS JUST KEEPS GOING ON AND ON AND ON. ITS NEVER GOING TO STOP SO JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU COME OUT THE WINNER.

ITS A WEIRD WEEK SINCE CHRISTMAS WAS A WEEKEND. I ENDED UP GETTING MONDAY AND TUESDAY OFF, THAT WAS NICE. DIDNT REALLY DO MUCH, JUST HUNG OUT WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SECRET SANTA WITH MY FRIENDS WAS COOL, I GOT A SSJ2 GOKU FIGURE FROM MY SECRET SANTA. I ALSO GOT A DRONE AND A PAIR OF REALLY NICE SHOES FROM THE GF :) I GOT HER A BUNCH OF STUFF SHE WANTED. THERE WAS JACKET, SOME SOCKS, A MAKE UP THING, A TSUM TSUM, AND SOME LED LIGHTS THAT SHE WANTED A WHILE BACK. ALSO GOT SOME CLOTHES AND MENS STUFF LIKE WASH AND COLOGNE. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A NICE CHRISTMAS.

WELL THAT ALL FOR THIS YEAR. I KNOW I USUALLY WRITE A YEAR END POST THAT SUMMERIZES HOW THE YEAR WENT BUT IM LAZY RIGHT NOW AND I CANT WAIT TIL 2016 IS OVER. IL WRITE THAT POST IN THE NEW YEAR WHEN IM LOOKING BACK. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I WISH YOU ALL A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY AND SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR :)

FRIENDS PLAYED VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT, I WATCHED. REALLY MAKES ME MISSING PLAYING SPORTS. NOT ONLY HAVE I GAINED WEIGHT I CANT HAVE FUN. IT WAS FUN WATCHING MY BUDDIES WHO HAVENT PLAYED ANY SPORTS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL, JUMP IN AND PLAY A TOURNAMENT. AT THE END, THEY DIDNT WIN, BUT THEY DID QUITE WELL WITH SUCH LITTLE TO NO PREPPING. OH FOOTBALL IS BACK!!! ONCE AGAIN IM WATCHING THAT TOO... THIS INJURY IS SERIOUSLY PISSING ME OFF!!! I JUST WANT TO PLAY SPORTS!!! :(

OLYMPICS

SO CURRENTLY THE 2016 SUMMER OLYMPICS IS BEING HELD IN RIO, BRAZIL. MY DAD HAS BEEN WATCHING ALMOST ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT CATCHES HIS EYES. MYSELF ON THE OTHER HAND SWIMMING, TRACK AND FIELD, AND TAEKWONDO OF COURSE, PLUS ALL THE RANDOM STUFF THAT IS AROUND. WATCHING IT ALL REALLY MAKES ME THINK... COULD I HAVE MADE IT INTO THE OLYMPICS IF I KEPT AT A SPORT??? THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS... YES!!! THATS BECAUSE IM AMAZING AND TOTALLY SKILLED IN EVERYTHING. THE LONG ANSWER IS REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT SPORT... THERES SOME IM BETTER IN, SOME THAT I DONT EVEN PLAY, SOME I SUCK IN, AND SOME I DONT CARE FOR... SWIMMING AND TAEKWONDO WOULD BE THE OBVIOUS CHOICE AND PROB HIGH JUMP AND LONG JUMP FOR TRACK. I WAS GOOD BACK IN THE DAY... CAUSE IM OLD NOW... BUT IF I REALLY KEPT AT IT... INSTEAD OF GOING TO SCHOOL, GOING OUT, MAKING FRIENDS, PARTYING, AND ALL THE OTHER RANDOM STUFF, I PROBABLY COULD HAVE MADE IT. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT ACTUALLY MADE OLYMPICS AND EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NATIONAL CHAMPION OR LIKE TOP RANKED IN THE COUNTRY, OR RANKED HIGHLY ON THE WORLD STAGE, IT DOESNT MEAN THAT IT WILL TRANSLATE ON THE OLYMPIC STAGE. USUALLY IT DOES, BUT SOMETIMES IT DOESNT. THAT IS WHY IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, ALL THE WORLD RECORDS ARE SO MUCH FASTER AND HIGHER THAN THE OLYMPIC RECORDS. THATS CAUSE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AND REGULAR EVENTS ARE HELD ALL THE TIME, WHERE AS OLMPICS IS ONCE EVERY 4 YEARS. SO YOU ONLY HAVE A CHANCE TO BEAT IT ONCE EVERY 4 YEARS. THE ONLY REASON YOU HEAR OLYMPIC SO MUCH MORE IS BECAUSE IT ISSSSSSS EVERY 4 YEARS, AND BECAUSE THEY MAKE THE BIGGEST THING OUT OF IT. EVERYONE IS WATCHING, THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING, EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS... NOT SO MUCH... UNLESS YOURE INTO IT. SWIMMING I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN BEAT IN, TAEKWONDO I PROBABLY COULD HAVE MADE IT, LONG JUMP MOST LIKELY, AND HIGH JUMP EASY. THEN AGAIN... WITH ALL OF LIFE HAPPENING, HOW WOULD I HAVE MADE THAT WORK? MANY ATHLETES HAVE A DAY JOB AND IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK TO MAKE IT TO THE OLYMPICS. THE TIME AND EFFORT AND MONEY THAT IS NEEDED TO GET YOURSELF TO THAT LEVEL IS NOT EASY. ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE THOSE WHOS SOLE JOB IS TO GO TO THE OLYMPICS AND WIN... AKA CHINA AND PLACES. EVERYONE DOES IT FOR THE SPORT THAT THEY LOVE. I PROBABLY COULD HAVE DONE FENCING AND SHOOTING TOO BUT NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN AMAZING AT SOMETHING BUT NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO TRY IT. I REALLY WISH I KEPT UP WITH SOMETHING... ESPECIALLY SINCE I KNOW I CAN TAKE ON ALL THE PEOPLE THERE RIGHT NOW. BESIDES ALL THAT... CANADA DOESNT HAVE THE SUPPORT SYSTEM IN PLACE FOR ATHLETES WHO SOLE PURPOSE TO TRAIN AND WIN. THEY HAVE REGULAR JOBS AND ALL THE REST OF THE STUFF I MENTIONED ABOVE. ITS HARD ON THEM. CANADA SPONSORS THEM SO LITTLE AND WHEN THEY WIN, THE GET SO LITTLE AS WELL AND JUST GOES BACK TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. PEOPLE WHO WIN IN OTHER COUNTRIES ARE TREATED LIKE HEROES AND ARE GIVEN WHATEVER THEY WANT. CANADA IS TOO EXCITED WHEN THEY SEE A MEDAL... OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE 10 TIMES THAT OF WHICH WE HAVE. YOU KNOW WHAT... IM GONNA GO TRY FOR THE OLYMPICS :) START TRAINING AND BY 34 IL BE THERE HAHA. HEY, WHO KNOWS... STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED. NOT TO MENTION THERE ARE A LOT OF ATHLETES WHO ARE OLDER TOO LOL.

I WAS ALSO GONNA SAY THAT EVERYTHING I SAID UP TOP REALLY CAN RELATE TO EVERYTHING ELSE AND IN LIFE IN GENERAL. THATS FOR ANOTHER TIME. IM TIRED, GONNA GO SLEEP.
