Linkin Park-Breaking the habit

It's a good song but has something to do with my post obviously. Well as of right now it is Friday, and less than a month away from my birthday, and only 4 days away from my anniversary with my wonderful girlfriend. Although it feels as if it's been way moreeeeeeee, it's only going to be two years, I know to some of you that may be a lot, but it's not for me or at least it doesn't feel that way. This is however my first long serious relationship, I was always a "player" I suppose. Anyways I've learned a lot from her and it's been an amazing experience and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world even if she isn't the one I end up marrying. But I must admit I do picture me spending the rest of my life with her, just not ready to tie the knot ; I'm too young. So this post was meant for a few things just to announce what I've already said, and to comment that my soccer is going really well as of late, my relationship with God has gotten real tight again, and praying in the shower morning and nights has become so fiery? Lol nonetheless I'm feeling complete, and just ready for something to happen, not in a bad way but more as of in the sense of something better, I don't know we'll see soon.

I would also like to announce my first break from poker like real break of no poker starting on Monday September 7th, like not even playing a small game with friends for at least two months. They're a couple reasons why I'm doing this, first is that in my free time over here besides listening to music, playing video games, and being on the internet and/or talking to friends, all my free time is taken up by online poker. I feel as if I should go out more and experience the city even though it's very small, and I've probably experienced it all. Also I want to dedicate more time to God, and bonding with teammates. Secondly I'm not going to lie I've lost some of my winnings back to poker, although I still have a nice amount of profit, and a vacation with my girlfriend to Disney World paid for it feels nice to not waste it right back where you won it. Thirdly I would like to prove to other as much as myself that I don't need poker in my life that I can do with out it. Now some of you might say "Wow 2 months, that's nothing." Well how about you stop smoking for two months? Or how about you stop drinking for two months? Or how about you stop biting your nails for two months? I'm just using random examples but what I'm trying to say is letting go of habits that become apart of your daily life are hard to get rid of especially if you've grown with it, and are now at an age in which you can choose what you want for you. For example I used to drink every other weekend when I was 17 but entering my senior year last year, I decided was going to be more serious with soccer, and decided to barely drink and never get drunk. In all honesty I can't remember the last time I was drunk. Also I chose towards the middle of this year to let go of fast food, I haven't had fast food likely in 4-5 months. I also haven't drank soda in about 5 months, besides when I tried Guarana it's Brazils most famous soda and had to try it, it's really good by the way. I guess what I'm trying to say here anyway is that I'm trying to prove not only to others but to myself and God that I can let go of these bad habits, and live a better life without them. I know God sees these things, and rewards them. Although if no reward is given, I'll still be happy with the self accomplishment which is earned when you complete these tasks.

Right now it is 12:39AM I should probably be sleeping everyone in my room is just going to sleep now, but I've chosen to write this out then fall into a nice sleep. Tomorrow we have a game at 3PM and we need to win this game to get back on track. Congrats to Juan Dominguez who appears is going to get his first start out here he's a 92 (meaning born in 1992) and play's left back. I've lately been playing at left back, and have actually really enjoyed the way Brazilians play with their wing backs, they're very attacking and although it is a physically demanding job, I think I can play it just as well as central back if not better. I'm going to wrap this up now as my eyes are beginning to close, and mind starting to wander off. So may all of you back at the States have a blessed labor day weekend, and live it up!


God Bless!!
