Find your strength to weather the storms

I haven't updated this blog in awhile so here it is...

School has been alright, I have been trying my best to keep my grades up especially with soccer consuming up basically my life for right now. I am actually in San Francisco right now for soccer. We just had a game last night against Santa Clara. We were suppose to start the game at 8 but didn't even end up starting the game until like 9:30pm. By the time our game ended it was already 11:30pm, which is very late for a soccer game to end. We ended up tieing the game 2-2 although we should have won and the referee's screwed us once again. Our team this year is legit and we are 4-3-5, but we are much better than our record, and despite the fact that we played six teams in the top 20.

Today, we had a light training session because we have another game tomorrow against University of San Francisco. After our training we headed over to one of my teammates house who lives in San Francisco. On the way there I got to see the Golden Gate Park, Alcatraz, and Golden Gate Bridge. It was my first time to see the Golden Gate Bridge and it was pretty exciting that we got to cross the bridge with our bus LOL. Other than that I just have been chillen and getting rest for tomorrow's game.

A couple weeks ago, Toe-Knee of the Wildboyz and Victory Nightlife missed his flight to SD from New York so he ended up catching one to Los Angeles. LAX is basically where my school is and he asked if I could drop him off at the train station, but instead he ended up watching my game and then hitching a ride with my parents and I back to San DIego. It was good to see TK cause I haven't seen him in awhile. It's funny cause my brother and his brother use to hang out a lot and there was a time when TK and I use to hang out a good amount HAHAHA. It was a long ride home, but an interesting conversation made it a little more exciting than usual lol. TK and his 1700 dollar camera followed me everywhere I went. Basically, he was like paparazzi status and created a lot of attention to me LOL. But here are some of the pictures...

The Friday, which was the 10th of October, I met up with Bianca, Porky, James, Kirk, Keshia, and some of their friends at Knott's Scary Farm. I got there a little earlier than them so I was just waiting in my car. It was pretty funny because these mexican people got into a fight and that shit was crazy lol.  There were a couple of good mazes that scared me pretty bad. I got scared on one of them that I even lost my phone hahaha. It was good to see some people from SD and I had a good time. Thanks to Bianca for the invite and a special Happy Birthday shout-out to her as well! Here are some pictures from the evening...

On another note, Trevor James just turned 19 years old on the 14th of October. Congratulations as he is one step closer to becoming a man! LOL. Tj is one of my best friends so I decided to head down the Saturday night before his birthday to hang out. I was accompanied by Allyson and Cheryl aka the broncette's lol. We had a fun evening hanging out at TJs place and going to gravity hill. If you do not know what gravity hill is, basically it is a hill that you go down and there is a stop light. If you put your car in neutral your car goes backwards up the hill. It was my first time going and I couldn't believe it actually worked! haha. After gravity hill Tj, Marvin, and Kevin wanted to go to Mercy Road. I was too scared so I stayed in the car with Allyson, Cheryl, Ryan, Kay, and Jenn. Finally, the guys stopped pretending to be so hard cause they knew they weren't going to go all the way down in the first place. After walking a couple steps they came back up and we all just went home. I ended up sleeping at TJ's house cause I couldn't go home since I had a game the next day or my parents would have been pissed. Anyways, I had a good time kicking it with some of the friends I haven't seen in awhile. Here are some pictures from my photobooth at TJ's.

Last of all, Congratulations to my roommate Kenny for getting his first tattoo! It is probably one of the sickest tattoo's I have seen. Check it out for yourself!
