Whats up peeps? Ive been away from the blog for a while, well lets be honest my once a week blogging is probably never ganna happen...so to be more realistic lets say its once a month...haha
the last few weeks were kinda difficult for me for various reasons so I'm going to skip some of that. Although I did spend a great week in Manchester with my parents watching some soccer games and taking "tea walks" through some gorgeous british countryside chillin with the sheep in the mud...

We won our last game of the year, 12-6 which was great. We just finished a 2 day tournament in which we lost in the finals, to the team we had just beat 12-6...the tournament didnt really matter, and thus my teamates and I kinda played like 'flojos' so whatever...i did score twice in each game including a sick spin lob in the first...havent done one in a few years so it felt pretty good...I'm starting to take more of an active role on offense. My position is primarly defensive and I like to be a play-maker on offense, I actually like a pretty assist better than a goal, but I’ve not been a real goal scorer on this team..that being said our usual goal scorers are sometimes up and down, and its not good for us to rely on only 1 or 2 dudes to get us the 'W'....not george bush..thus ive taken to shooting more, and as my shooting percentage is probably in the 80% range (i only shoot when I have a high probability of scoring, otherwise I find it more prudent to wait for a better opportunity...) its going pretty good…
I found out yesterday that for the next few weeks I was the only person signed up for my 2hr/day spanish course...they gave me 2 options, get my $ back and wait 4 weeks for another round of courses to begin and hopefully more people to sign up, or join the 4hr/day course that starts at 9am....now I'm not really good in the mornings, and 4 hrs a day is a TON of spanish, but if I dont have the spanish class to occupy me during the day I feel a bit lost, and bored, and useless....so I guess its 4hrs a day for now.
My teamates and I got a nice xmas bonus, and my coaches also gave me kinda secretively a xmas basket of ish...which is all like candy and fattening...I'm currently 89 kilos, which is a bit under 200lbs, which is a feat that I dont think i've done since probbaly junior year....of HIGH SCHOOL...so maybe they are trying to fatten me up. I dont know, its working though im eating a ton of it right now
New years was great, had some friends from College as well as High School here, and we had a great dinner and went out to some local bars and enjoyed the night. Its a spanish tradition to eat 12 grapes at midnight, 1 for each chime of the bell...not an easy feat but we managed...we ran into a lot of random people, including some sweet Punjabi Mc's who were from the US visiting and having a great time...although they kept asking my friends if I was indian, so im not sure they were actually indian, despite the headdress and all...

thats bout it, nothing to exciting...the 6th of janurary is a holiday here..they have A LOT of freaking holidays. Its the day of the 3 kings, supposedly when they came and brought Jesus his gifts...now I always thought that that was on his actual birthday but as I watched on the tele during xmas night, much of that story is probably made up anyways.
anywho, who's santa clause?
