"Some people believe that football[soccer] is a matter of life and death. I'm very dissappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much more important than that."

-Bill Shankley,


I am very sick of people thinking that baseball and football or American sports are the most popular, but thats not true. They might be some of the most popular in the US, but soccer truley is the worlds love, and the worlds sport. There is no respect for soccer here in the US and it's very sad. People think that it is a slow and stupid sport. If you actually took time to watch it and play it, you will learn that it is a fast sport, and more people get hurt from playing soccer than any other sport, so it truley is a contact sport. It's the most popular in the world and the world will always over power the US so get use to it, and when you come to like soccer you will become part of this world.

So give my sport respect and yours will get respect back.

love, respect, desire.

Desire is the most important factor in the success of any athlete.
Willie Shoemaker.

In sports, it's all about desire and respect. You have to desire respect if you want to gain anything from the sport you are playing. You need to respect other players and your coach in order to gain respect back. You need to desire to listen to your coach, learn from everything they teach you, and learn from other players. Even respect the players that aren't the best, because there will always be something that you can gain from them. If you love the sport that you play then you will desire it and if you desire it you will be respected.

christmas is more than a time for giving.

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens


I thought that since we were reading "A Christmas Carol," in English, it woulds be fun to put a quote that Charles Dickens wrote about Christmas.


But "A Christmas Carol," is a phenonmenon!
and A Muppet Christmas Carol is the best movie version of A Christmas Carol! I've been baking cookies and watching Christmas movies while being all wrapped up in a blanket and being all warm and cozy. Christmas is such a wonderful time of year to forget all of your worries and needs, and think about others, which is just a beautiful feeling that I wish we had everyday, but we don't. We are all to preoccupied in our own lives that we only think about the poor during Christmas time, even though they need us more than at one time of the year!

sunlight.

if i had one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand, maybe we can be happy again. i'll try for one ray of sunlight to hold in my hand, and i hope this isn't the end.

love is the closest thing we have to magic.

but, the real problem with love is that people go searching for it when its right in front of them.

so our whole lives we've been watching fairtales or reading them, and all they've been telling us is that you don't need to search for love because its right in front of us. and if we don't see it, it will come to us, then we will understand that you don't need to go searching for it, because if you lose a love a new one will become clear to you.

and that must truely be the meaning of fairtales, right?

love the life you live. and live the life you love. -bob marley.

Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.

Life:

it's full of suprises

with suprises comes happieness.

with happieness comes pain.

with pain comes light.

but with light comes dark.

with dark comes excitement.

with excitement comes sorrow.

with sorrow comes love.

and with love comes life.

-i will try to come up with something better next time; but for now this is all i have.

drama.

I do not believe drama has it's existence,
but I believe people pretend it is really there,
and they feed it.
One day drama will be alive,
like a grueling monster, and take us all over.
And then we will all shrivel up.
And die.
The end.
