Annonymity (sp?)

Set a new juggling best yesterday. Fifty-two.
I'm still using a size one ball so I reckon that's pretty good.

Now I was thinking, I don't write this blog under my real name.
Sam was my nickname a long time ago, but noone that I know now uses it.
I do strive to remain annonymous on the internet.
I don't want people who know me in real life to know what I'm thinking, nor do I want them to know what I do.
So I wonder, how many people try to be someone else online?
And by someone else I mean same personality, same everything, just a different name and more open about sharing things about yourself.
Is it sad that I have noone to talk to?
I suppose so. But I don't really mind.

There used to be someone I talked to a lot.
Used to text me all the time, talk to me a school.
We were good friends.
What changed?
Senior year there was these girls.
Same situation both times.
He liked her, she liked him, but they never went out or anything.
And I was convienently forgotten about.
We went to uni, and we're doing the same degree.
But he got a girlfirend and yep, you guessed it, no more hanging out with him.
I do miss it sometimes.
But I'll get used to it. I'll live. People change.

There was a study.
Apparently, people only really have five close friends at a time.
And when they get into a relationship, one friend is dropped.
I guess this time it was me.
Oh well. Live goes on. Hopefully..

Football and fitness

So taking a year off football was a bad idea.
Before this year I would train or play at least four times a week, but more often it was six.
And then in the off season/summer holidays I would play squash.
So I was fairly fit.
Now, after a year off doing fuck all exercise I have gotten really unfit.
Great.
So I decided to do the Couch to 5K program thing.
I started at week three though, because I'm not that unfit.
Well, I'm really unfit for a football player but yea...
I mean week one was one minute walking alternated with a minute and a half of walking.
So yea, I skipped a couple of weeks.
Now I'm on week five. And I'm doing okay.
It's not killing me.
Yet.
So hopefully this time next month I'll be able to run at least five kilometres without stopping.
I do know my route.
And hopefully after that I can do my 7.5K route.
And then by Christmas, the 10K route that i have in mind.

It feels good to have a goal.
Yes, yes it does.

I have exams in five-ish weeks.
Maybe I should make them a goal too.
Hmm...or not. I reckon I'll pass easy.

Oh yea! I forgot to write about the football part.
I need to find a wall that I can practise passing against to improve my ball control.
Especially with my right foot.
I used to be really good a dribbling and shooting so I need to work on those again.
And I've started practising juggling.
My record is forty-six.
Which doesn't sound like much, but I'm using a size one ball.
So it is quite a lot really.
I needs to get me a size five ball though so I can practise properly.

Hasta luego,
Sam

These are a few of my favourite things...

All the things/people I really, really like/am a fan of;
1. Coffee. Can not survive without it.
2. Heavy music. I do listen to other things but right now, I'm really going for the loud stuff.
3. Comedians; Russell Howard, Dylan Moran, Eddie Izzard, Adam Hills, Jimmy Carr, Michael McIntyre, David Mitchell.
4. Football. Eight years of it later, in the mud, sun and rain, and I stilll get exciting for games.
5. Footballers. Don't care what club (unless they're Man U) as long as they're good; Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Ryan Giggs (the one exception), Joe Cole, Joe Hart, Xavi, Cesc Fabregas, etc...I'll probably do another post just on footballers.
6. Liverpool FC. My first love is Liverpool but I have a soft spot for Chelsea because some people are just a bad influence.
7. Anberlin. First band I ever really liked, and the only band I still like from back then.
8. Rubik's cubes. Because in all reality I'm a nerd.
9. Mathematics. Again, me=nerd. Also, its only thing that I ever though I was good at.
10. Walking in the rain. Hardly anyone else is out and its just relaxing.
11. Harry Potter. Loved it since I was nine.
12. Books. The type that I like create a whole new world that I can just get lost in.
13. Drawing. I like doing it but I'm not particularly good at it.
14. Languages. I don't speak any other than English, but they still intrigue me. Especialy ancient ones.

I shall continue this. Its rather theraputic thinking of what I really like as opposed to things that make me worry..
