The Island of Misfit Toys

Anyways like I was saying,
Matt is pretty smart when it comes to computers, plays soccer at EHCA(part of the ORIGONAL soggy paper curtain) and we like to make fun of him whenever he heads the ball. He runs funny too, he kinda wobbles from side to side 'cause he doesn't bend at all. Chris also calls him Gumby.
Matt USED to have mushroom hair, before he cut it all off and now he's a mini-mushroom. Let's see, other things, loves Dr. Pepper, whines a lot, and I'm tired so I'm going to go to bed. If you want to know anything else about Matt you can ask him.

Person I Feel Like Writing About:
Matthew David Bramble
Actually I don't feel like writing about anybody but Rachel told me to 'cause she's bored.(If anyone else actually reads this it would be nice to know...i.e. signing the guestbook) anyways
Chris calls him a scumbag. Girls call him cute. And I...I have to go empty the trash, so I'll finish this later.

In case you haven't noticed I haven't been able to update my blog as much as usual. Sorry to anyone who actually reads it, but it'll prob. have to stay like that.
My sis' graduation party on Sat. went pretty well, not as many people as we expected but that's good.(More people more problems) After everyone left, Alexa, her friends Hannah, Katie and...*think think* Katie's sister-I'll find out their names again, and Chris and I sat around playing snaps, and quoting Monty Python in wobble talk until 2 in the morning.
Oh yeah, Chris and I got this weird impulse to jump into the freezing cold pool at 1 o'clock in the morning-bad idea.

It was Katie and Amy Eckmen, Alexa reminded me.

My first highschool game.
I didn't score a goal, give a game winning assist or make a spectacular tackle. Nope, not me-I got carded. In the first 4 minutes actually.
I was running full speed toward their goal, our center mid. played me the ball, but the other team's goalkeeper pick it up first. So I tried to get out of the way, but I nicked the goalies elbow w/my shoulder. He didn't fall over, didn't scream, didn't even complain. But I "COULD" have avoided contact. So the referee who must have been celebrating his 90th b-day and had glasses more like binoculars decided to card me.
The refereeing over the whole game was really poor anyways, and the other team stunk(we won 7-1). They had 2 fat kids on defense - tweedle dee and tweedle dum who like to "throw their weight around."

*pbbbttt*
Okay I think we're finally back online w/the computer. To save space let's just say it got really screwed up, but we fixed it by the sweat of our brow and the blood from our veins.
However, all of MY effots will be in vain as my sister is taking the computer w/her to college next month. I'm getting my old laptop back though. Note the word OLD, as in 133mgz, 2 gig harddrive and 16mg of ram, THAT'S OLD.

Aynayways, our first scrimage is tomarrow against West Shamokin. I have no idea how we're gonna do and I'm kinda nervous. I'm going to pretend like I don't speak english. heh heh heh....

I haven't posted anything lately 'cause we've been having computer problems-probably a virus. A friend of ours was able to fix most of the problems, but we're going to have to F-O-R-M-A-T it. *gasp*
So we've been backing everything up on ZIP disks.


Sat. Chris and I went skating(nobody ELSE could come) and the place was almost empty, there were like maybe 20 people there. Chris got asked for his phone number all night, he gave them the number to the local paramedics(the ambulance place) Then we went to his house and watched Saving Private Ryan which he got for his b-day which was the 16th.
I understand EHCA soccer "tryouts" started today, somebody will have to fill me in on how that went.
In order to get most of my geometry done before school starts I've had to start doing 2 sections a day. But hey that's not new.

My life right now consists of three things.
1.) Soccer. Soccer everyday from 7:30 - 12:30 which not only means running and puking my guts out half the day, but getting to bed early to get enough sleep to get up for the ordeal.
2.) Geometry. I really hate geometry, but my parents paid $$$ to order this video course and text book so that I could learn geometry and take Algebra II this year. It's really horrible, not something to look forward to. They make you do these proofs, for example: the show you 2 triangles. They tell you that the triangles are congruent(exactly the same) then they tell you to PROVE that they are congruent.
3.) Keeping up with a "social" and spiritual life.
I try and write blogs, talk to people on IM, go skating ect. but between my schedual and everyone else's it's really tough to get together w/people.
I usually have my quite time or devotions in the morning. But dragging myself out of bed everyday at 6:30 w/sore muscles to go to soccer practice leaves me little time. I can't really do them at night either because I can't stay awake. I go to my room, fall onto my bed and die. So I try to read and pray sometime during the day(hey that rhymes) but usually there are a million distractions, my mom needs me to do something, the lawn needs cut, I have to watch my lil sis in the pool, the trash needs taken out.
*pppbbbttt* I really can't wait for the weekend.

Song Lyric of the Day:
"____________________ "
- Revolution by The Supertones

It's an intrumental dummy

Never, in all my life, have I been so hot(heatwise) sweaty, dirty, exausted, sore, thiryst, out of breath, and all out miserable, than at soccer practice practice.
To start with we run ½mile then stretch, then we run for 20 mintues. It's not just like we run somewhere and it takes un 20 minutes to get there, we run for 20 minuets non-stop which, at the rate we run(or some of us run) we cover about 3 miles. And if you don't run, the seniors rip cornstalks out of the ground(hey it's Freeport) throw the cobs at your head, and beat you with the stalks. (EHCA people, sorry but if you think you have it tough running 1 mile...)
When we get back to the school we have 3 minutes to get a drink and change into our shingaurds and spikes.
And we run around a lot after that but you don't want to hear about it.

Today, me dad, me mum and me little sis(and me) went to a computer show in Monroville, however the dealers there didn't have much. If you wanted to walk away with a computer you had to buy the frame from one person, the CPU from another, the mother board from Joe, the CD-ROM from Curly, and the power converter from Bob-you get the idea.
So after that we went to the Olive Garden(when you're here you're family) then to Dick's and I got a new backpack. ("It's my birthday present to me! I'm so happy.") THEN, we went to Circut City and looked at a laptop for my dad, then to gateway, then to Best Buy, then BACK to Circut City to actually buy the laptop.
Which, by the way took us all day, 9AM to 7:30PM. I think my feet hurt, but they're kinda numb from just standing around all day.

*blank stare at the computer screen*

Things I Hate:
- Wet Socks
- Screaming little kids

It's been 4 days since I last wrote a blog, maybe that's a record or something.
My computer's been really retarded lately, AND my blogs haven't been posting since 8/1, oh well hopefully this one will.
Well let's see, over the past week I've: worked on filming w/the guys from YG, gone blading, made a glove out of duck tape, learned 3 whole chords on the guitar (G, C, and D7) oh yeah, I turned 16(scary) and been studying the stupid Driver's Manuel, um, I think that's it.
Today I have to clean a buncha stuff, then I'll prob. go film some fight scenes.

Random Thought of the Day:
You see the people who wear the flag upside down, burn the flag, protest anything and everything and are totally on fire to rebell against whatever comes up.
If you hate this country that much...then LEAVE. That's right, go to China, they are SO much better of there, or Cuba, you know there's this really good guy named Fidel Castro down there that loves democracy.
I understand that our government is far from perfect and likewise neither is our country, but as one of my youth leaders once said, what are you going to do about it?"
You go ahead and be rebels and whine("protest") about everything while taking no real actions to fix the problem. I saw a talk show the other day and there was this 15 year old girl bein all big and bad and sayin how she hated cops, and the host asked her why, what did a cop ever do to you? And she didn't have a thing to say. People just want to be against something because they think it's cool.

Umm, well I guess that's it. Kinda random, maybe someday I'll collect my thoughts into something inteillgent.

FINALLY! I've been out of duck tape for nearly 2 weeks and my mum went to Wal*Mart today and got some. *Hallelujah*
So now I can start on my new trapper-yes I got a new trapper *sniff* It was time to let go of my old one.
(For those of you who I haven't had the privelage of going to school with, my trapper is very...well, different, and I'm very attachted to it - via duck tape.) If you saw it you'd understand.
AYNAYWAYS, I have a new one, so I have to fix it because it's dull and boring.
