Matchday 4

Today and tomorrow is match day 4 of the (yes you guessed it) Uefa Champions League.
A couple interesting lineups:
1. AC Milan - Real Madrid
2. Chelsea - Club Atletico
3. Liverpool - Olympic Lyonnais
see http://www.uefa.com/competitions/ucl/fixturesresults/index.html
for more listings and standings and fixtures.

My earlier posts about the ESPN360.com was incorrect. I guess something happened this year that they lost the rights to showing it.
So I have, so far this year, not seen a single Champions League match. But that's OK, I have been following it closely on the site.

Hope you all enjoy!

The Pirate with a steering wheel stuck in his pants


One day a pirate found the steering wheel of the ship
stuck in his pants.
Soon another pirate came up to him and said:
"Argh, matie, you seem to have the steering wheel of the ship
stuck in ye pants!"
"Argh, matie", says the pirate, "it's driving me nuts"!

Profiting from Experiences

Some poeple that I have noticed around me tend to be at school because they think they have to. Some people around me socialize on the weekend because they think they can, in that manner, recharge for the week. Some people around in at the gym, work their bodies because they think they have to be healthy and beautiful.
In thinking that they have to, some people complain. Everyday is a busy day, and even when they plan a relaxed day, they complain about being so busy busy busy and so have to plan a relax day.

I have been busy, very busy. I have loved being busy too. I am studying full-time and working part-time. Weekends (and some weeknights) are spent with dear friends and lots of excersize. Thats exactly what I came here to do though. I feel myself growing personally, physically and emotionally. My mind is a spunge, soaking up all the activities and experiences that I undertake and learn from. In Amsterdam I felt "neutral". Like a low tide. I wanted to come to the US to jump start my life again.
And I am enjoying every single bit of it. Even the tough spots and yes, they have been very tough. But I am here and I am doing this thing! I feel and notice the results already.

Our choices are made everyday. We sometimes have to do things we dont want to do and they seem forced on us. But I look at the bigger picture. The unltimate goal.
And I know I'm not the only one.

The road not taken - Robert Frost:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh! I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that made all the difference.

A New Start

So I have found some inspiration to write some stuff again.
Useful? I dunno. Anyone interested? Who cares. Don't know how long it will last either.

Update:
Ramona: working 4 days a week. 2 as a Nanny & 2 as a secretary for the same family.
Searching for another job, as the secretary position is temporary.
Also, trying to find motivation to study for the NClex exam.

Me: School 3 days a week, working 2 days. Also trying to find another, part-time job.
Weekends are spent playing tennis, football, church and hanging out with Ramona as much as possible.

Are one-bedroom apartment is nice and cozy. Everything we need.

-I have a job interview with USPS Postal Service!
-Math Test.

Homework tonight and hopefully some relaxation also.
