Reminiscing....

I was reading through some old posts, and wow how this blog has developed! I wanna show you guys my first ever post, and kind of where I am now from that. Here is my 1st ever blog post....

Well I've always wanted my own blog...so here I am! Lol uhm I'm 18 years old, and right now in my life I have certain goals that I'm trying to attain.

Number 1: I would like to closer my relationship with the Lord.
Number 2: I want to get a full ride for soccer to University.
Number 3: Graduate, finishing good in school.
Number 4: Really maximize my potential in soccer.
Number 5: Stay close with my family & my girlfriend somewhat Meme..
Number 6: Make alot of money from poker.


As of now my relationship with the Lord is meh. Not fabulous I really want to get a fire for him again like I did when I was younger. So def. need to work on that.

My full ride for soccer is working out really well I'm currently talking to 4 schools, University Of Albany, University Of St.Johns, University Of Jacksonville, and Coastal Carolina University.

Graduate finishing good in school is alright im doing okay decent but I'm not satisfied with myself I can do better.

Maximizing my potential is still definitly in the works I'm really pushing myself alot going to the gym, working out hard and just doing alot of different things like eating healthy etc.

Stayin close with my family will awlays be easy but Meme, and I seem to be drifting apart =/. I love her with all my heart, and idk I want her but it's hard knowing I'm most likely going away for school, after we graduate....

And make alot of money in poker, I'm declaring myself $0 profit $0 negative. I'm going to start up new and going to save money and do bankroll management, plan on saving up like $400 then playing 4 tables of 6 max of 10c/25c NL we'll see how that goes I'll update everything probably as much as I can. And say if anything interesting happens in my days.

Well it's 4:40AM, and I'm gonna pray and go to bed if even possible, I might play madden that always makes me sleepy.


Good night

Cheers to my first post!





Lol it's funny how I don't just other stuff I used to write about in old posts, but anyways when I read this I looked at the goals for 2009 overall, and how I far exceeded expectation. Number one my relationship with the Lord it was rocky, but for some reason my drive to Him grew with each day, and I've gotten really close to Him again, and it's no wonder I've exceeded my goals, cause I'm not working on them alone for God is working on my behalf backstage, where people think it's all me but I know it's Him allowing me to succeed. So on goal number one success!



Goal number 2, was to get a full paid scholarship to a University, cause of my soccer ability as I was too lazy in school to get good grades. What ended up happening well I did the unimaginable, I began to pursue my life long dream, and was blessed enough to sign a professional soccer contract. I was just hoping to get my University paid, instead I got paid! And now am living in Brazil, although I'm leaving here, it was an unforgettable experience, and has set a great foundation for my soccer career which will be filled with great successes.



Goal Number 3, was to graduate finishing school good, I wouldn't say I exceeded here by any means, but nonetheless I got the task done, I graduated high school, and got my diploma glory to God! :) It was a proud day for my family, and I. Thanks to God I got out of that school, with my diploma and no problems, although I def could have finished school better but oh well.



Goal number 4, was to really maximize my soccer potential. Again far exceeded it, I was one of the slowest, weakest, and a bench player when the year began. But as the year proceeded I became a starter, captain, and signed a pro contract, and won the Disney Soccer Showcase, which was one of my soccer goals, another one was to win Dallas Cup, but it wasn't to be. But again another far exceeded goal here.



Goal number 5, was to stay close to my family, and my somewhat girlfriend Meme. Well I think considering I'm living in another country, and my situation with the 3 hour time difference, and the distance, I've again surpassed expectation. I write emails with my mom all day, I talk with my dad while at work and late at night when were both on, I talk to my brothers all day, and talk about the fun were going to have being all together again. I am still somewhat with my girlfriend Meme, and we have been through a lot, you can imagine how hard it is to hold a relationship, especially like ours, when we were used to seeing each other like 12 hours a day, we just did everything together! I'll be home again soon, and although she works now, and I got to keep training while on my vacation to not give anyone an edge on me, it's going to be amazing too see her. So this goal I say given the circumstances was obtained as well.



Goal number 6, was to make a lot of money on poker, well I was hoping to make 5k maybe over the course of the year, but when u opt in online and casino winnings, I made this year probably a little over 10k! Of course I can't be 100% sure cause I never kept account of my accounts in person but online their are sites that track your profits, and there about 6-8k in profits last I checked I lost some back recently but that's how it goes you win and lose some of it back. So in this one again far exceeded my goal. Also when I won money I would always give 10% of my winnings back in someway, church, donations, or giving it to random people like paying their toll, paying for someones gas, just random stuff that God put in my heart.

So a recap from my first blog amazing stuff. I can't wait to set my 2010 goals, but were going to have to wait, I need to sort them out be reasonable with them as well. Well I hope you enjoyed reading, thanks for those who made it too the end :P I gotta go now more fitness training, since it's we do over here lately is gym in the morning and run in the afternoon. Till the next one!

God Bless
