Time won't let me go

Good friends are a dime a dozen, I have millions of them but only one bestest best friend. I got a call from him today and he just encourages of all the time. When I look back on the days of my life, these words bring bravery into my fight for survival it is key to unlocking that monster called determination. I have not seen my friend in over three years which is way too long, but even though I don't see him that often, it is like he left just yesterday everytime we talk again. If I could in back to yesterday and change all the things I could I wouldnt because time wont let me go, but not because of that@ but because I have no regrets of yesterday. I dream for tomorrow and that place I long for I have never seen. I am going to see my friend soon hopefully. I am editing this draft of my thoughts which I did not complete because sleep knocked me out. This morning I am full of regrets I have lived my life through the tv screen being other people including myself and I have forgotten who I am, I wish I could go back and change all the things I diid well maybe not all of them, some I don't regret I am just depressed this morning at work. I have always walked alone and this morning I realised I have only ever been alone, I am use to it. This post is inspired by The Bravery the song is titled the same as the above title. TIME WON'T LET ME GO... goes better all this Indie Rock is really making me go soft Later Bloggers!!!

Back to Basics How to become a Proffessional Soccer player part2

Okay so this update is long overdue I promised to write this a while ago,but never got to it well today is the day and in true proffessional soccer player style I am back in form and banging in those good tips. Well the ball has been distibuted from the back and is well on it's way. The Defense is where it all can either start towards a good gam and it can also break down here leading to the failure of the entire team. I have heard many a men especially defenders say this there are two ways of defending... First you either take the man and Second or you take the ball the Let me explain in no uncertain terms it's either the ball goes past you and the man stays behind or the man goes past you and the ball stays behind, but never the both of them. The defenders are the tough guys in the team along with the strikers and you gotta have a big brave heart to play in these postions on the field because as a defender you are confronted all the time and the best way to defend is to attack the ball or the player in some cases. These days you gota be fast agile and aware of your surroundings. Tactical awareness, speed, positioning and a commanding presence are the order of the day, so you need to be mentally strong to be a defender as you are always in battle so pick your man and make sure you count your tackles and make sure your offenders knows where you stand as far as takedowns are concerned. The middlefield is the belly of the beast this is the engine room of the team without their contributions and artfulness the team is lost. These guys gotta be working as a unit and if these guys dont gel together in the middle you can forget about winning. This position requires imagination drive and determination and most important is accuracy and vision. These guys carry immense pressure and their timing passing the ball should be perfect and intune with their frontmen the connection should be a telepathic one, that is why often you will find the strikers and midfielders hanging out together, this helps them to get to know the other and what type of player he is. The middle field players are usually more glamorous and colorful on and off the field, this is the most supported position on the field and they have hordes of fans.In modern day it has shifted somewhat, but not much and only time and the amount of talented personality filled crop of players will be able to capture the hearts and imagination of the world. The game has become very scientific, compared to a few decades ago the game has grown in popularity. The speed of the game has also increased with high speed cameras being put into place to capture some of the moves and tackles being executed. The paychecks have gotten bigger shorts longer hair more colorful and eccentric, faster cars, designer suits, designer girlfriends posh houses multi million rand whatever your curency is endorsements. The balance has shifted and these days players are truelly ROCKSTARS and they are rolemodels to the millions of kids out there influencing them to dream, but what they should teach them is that no amount of success is achieved by sitting at home and not going out there and work for it. So go out and work for it Later Bloggers! Go out and get that dream...

Rainy days in the skyshine

This is one of those typical days which has been affected by climate change and it is a one of those days that I enjoy most. I am sitting here in the shop looking out on the street it is dead quiet from the lack of patrons.The street is usually packed with poeple,but not today because out here in Africa some of the natives seem to fear water and if they are not forced by work obligations well, they just don't see the need to get wet for no good reason. I was late for work this morning not because I overslept, rather to wait for the rain to subside to a slight drizzle which happened and then me and my brother set off to catch a cab or in African terms a taxi. The rain has been continuelly falling for the past 3 weeks roundabout and with only a few days of sun inbetween, if it were up to me I would prefer it to rain everyday for the rest of the year, but unlike other countries our infrastructure are not equipped with laundromats and indoor washlines. Africa itself isn't built for big heavy raines these days anymore as the news would testify to muddy landslides and floods as a resullt of the afore mentioned structural problems and natural destruction of trees grassy plains. These are all contributing to certain factors which has been termed natural disasters, which aren't so natural if you come to look at how the growing numbers in population has caused people to shift from certain areas reserved for animals only, so as far as rain everyday is concerned not a good idea. Goverments are going to have to put measures in place to curb population growth or is it already in effect? Maybe it goes by another name? Well for now we will have to just accept the rain and adapt or die and occassionaly have some sunshine Later Bloogers!
