what a weekend for soccer! the earthquakes blew out the dallas burn 5-2, with a hat trick by dwayne derosario a mere week after landon donovan scored the earthquakes' first ever hat trick! landon himself notched two beautiful goals as well, as we welcomed back the landon of world cup fame. i love watching him play when he plays to his ability! the USWNT beat north korea, with two goals by defender cat reddick. did you see that? by a defender! woo hoo! also, my zephyrs won 3-1 but i unfortunately was not able to contribute due to my frustratingly sore shins. (liz says my calf muscles are way too tight, and the muscles/tendons on the front of my shins have to try to overcompensate and can't. hence the overexertion and soreness. *sigh* i'm resting, stretching, and icing this week in hopes of being able to play on saturday.)

sadly, though, the soccer is going to have to tide me over for a few months, because football looks to be an extremely painful venture this year. 35-7 loss to the vikings? terrell owens, where were you, and why didn't make any kind of effort on the field? (speaking of which, did you see him bitch out greg knapp, the offensive coordinator? if there isn't some kind of repercussion for that, TO is going to be able to get away with being ass for everything. that's inappropriate, rude, and disrespectful behavior... i respect TO's ability, but the prima donna crap can go to hell.) and my bruins won, yes, but it wasn't a blowout... and they were playing SDSU! *sigh* like i said, it's going to be a loooooong and painful season. i'm still hopeful that both teams will hit their stride soon, but in football every game counts.

how long is it before you can go back to being friends with someone after a fallout? i miss my friend... i'm the one who has been sad and hurt, so it's been mostly me doing the distancing, but i think i started to do it because the change in our friendship was too much for me to take. i miss that friendship though... i'm not sure i want it back because of what it ended up doing to me, but what it used to be meant a lot to me and it seems like it would be such a waste to just let it die forever. i don't know if the other stuff will always be in the way now, though... it almost seems easier just to let it be.
