All About G

Well, Superbowl 39 has just ended with the victor being the New England Patriots, winning by 3 points (24-21).

Damn it! We were sooooooo close! Oh well there’s always next year. but the game was poorly played, with the exception being the touchdowns, and the one play where the Eagles got possession of the ball, that was hilarious. But the Eagles tried I guess. And they hadn’t gone to the Superbowl in over 20 years, so I guess that’s a plus.

Next year, It had better be a better game than this year, or I am going to sue or something.

I remember a few years back when I was ten, a strange thing happened. We were eating chinese food one night, when a fortune cookie caught my eye among a batch of them. Why it caught my eye I didn’t know… perhaps it was fate, but when I picked it up to look at it, I could see the fortune inside and what it said; Your heart is made of pure gold. And, creepily enough, that fortune cookie was right, if you look at what it means. There is proof that my fortune was true; when I was three I had given to a homeless man an apple when we passed him. When I was eight, I had first donated my 75 cents worth of change, then ran back and gave the whole 3 dollars that I had earned to an animal shelter. The night I had found the fortune cookie… Earlier that day, a friend of mine wanted to eat over, she didn’t have anything to eat whatsoever (only maybe a balogna sandwich). I had asked and asked if she could eat over (even though the answer was no).

And earlier today, I stopped my friend from getting hit by a train.

Well, this past week has been extremely crazy. I’m furious at a certain SOMEONE who is being a complete asshole. He thinks he knows why I’m mad at him, but oh is he wrong. I’m not talking to him as much as I used to and I’m going to try on Monday to not talk to him at all. Andy’s mad at me for telling him that I was leaving and couldn’t get in touch with him. Well geeeez if he wanted me to not tell him and just ditch him then its his problem.

Anyway, Kasedy had a bball game today algainst the high and mighty Oneonta jackets (who are the best at absolutly every sport that they play in our division). The game was real close. 19-16 and everyone is saying that they sucked. OMFG!! wth is this crap If a sidney team can keep a close score with an oneonta team, the excuse is all skill. Kasedy’s pissed at her coach, because he is thinking exactly the way a coach shouldn’t think when it comes to sports; winning is everything.

Okay, for starters, winning isn’t everything. Sometimes, it isn’t anything at all. Playing a game (for example; soccer) is about having fun, and building and improving your skills. Back in ninth grade our coach Mr.Sharp was starting to think like Mr.Ward (her coach), because our team last year KICKED ASS But then we played against Unatego (our MAC division rivals in soccer) on thier field and lost (2-1 overtime, REAL INTENSE GAME!). Then he realized this and he brought us all together the next day and he apologized for thinking like that. He had explained how after a while the only thing he wanted to do was win, when his actual philosophy was having fun, doing your best, and improving your skill. That’s my philosophy of playing a sport, whether it be soccer, basketball, track, even cheerleading. But I guess there are some people out there (like Mr. Ward) who think winning is the one thing that matters most in the world.

Right now World War III is raging in our house.

Who’s fighting the war? Derek, the Gremlins, and the spiders. The ‘allied power’ is just Derek, while the ‘axis powers’ are the Gremlins and the spiders (I wonder if this was what Bush was talking about a few years back when he said axis of evil?). So far the axis seems to have the upper hand. According to Derek, “Sweeping did some damage to the Spider numbers...Casuality report is thus, Spiders: killed 100’s. Me: twelve spider bites on various parts of my body, 2 anxiety attacks, a burnd finger and a bump on the head.”

As for the Gremlins, I don’t even know what the heck he’s talking about… perhaps he’s refering to the Gremlins that were in the cartoons that involved Bugs Bunny and a plane? Don’t ask me… I just hope that I can manage to stay out of this…

One more thing… I have an artcle in the newpaper about our Cabaret Concert (I’m in chorus). I’m going to try and get it so I can post it or something… but no promises… Mrs. Olson can be a lil…. ummm… never mind no comment!
