Sucks I haven't even had this blog so long, and I've lost two friends who never got to even see the ripe age of 20. The thing with death is, it's unexpected, it's painful, it leaves you asking many many questions. I've come to understand to not understand why death, why young, why him/her. We can't question Gods choosing, we can't attempt to comprehend it either or else we'll fight with our mind the rest of our lives attempting to figure out an answerless question. We just have to accept what's happened, and try to move on. Yes, much easier said than done. And yes, much easier for me as I wasn't as close to him as let's say his family, his click of friends "NFU" or his girlfriend my condolences to all of you. Trust me I've prayed, and hope you guys will be good, I know you guys are good, what sucks is I read constantly over Facebook your guys strong faith in comments. But sometimes it's just Gods way of doing things. Let's just accept it, and be happy that he gets to rest in peace and be in the heavens. I promise you he's not that far away, just look up to the skies he's looking right back at you with a big smile. C'mon lets be real that kid always had a smile, and always had a good time you know he wouldn't want you any different now besides with a big smile, and possibly a shot glass. Haha God bless you Andy, your family, your girlfriend, your friends, and were smiling up while you smile down at us.
God bless & RIP Andy Parreno!!

Rejuvenated!
My spirit and need to write has been rejuvenated!! First off cause I'm back in Brazil and you guys know last time I was here it can get boring with so much free time, but the other reason is thanks to fellow teammate back in Miami FC Chris Gbandi! I started reading his blog which you can follow @ www.cgbandi.blogspot.com and it's just inspired me to write, this time not so much as to only about soccer, but quite frankly just whatever I feel like writing about.
Well to start out I'd like to thank all the wonderful people in Miami who I met this summer, and hung out with for making it an unforgettable one, and the way my summer ended was just perfect. Meeting someone great, and coming back to Brazil for a trial with the team I was with last year. God willing it all goes well I'll be staying here, although there is definitely no place like home, and the people that reside there.
Anyways I hope to continue to write a lot more often as I used to, it's really something that I love to do but in Miami they're just so many distractions, and always something to do that I never got around to it. I'd like to begin my return to writing with another website of someone else who has inspired me! She really is an amazing person, and has such a big heart one of her loves is saving dogs and finding foster homes for them. It's really not all that easy though, and sometimes the dogs have to be put to sleep cause they're is no room for them anymore. So I encourage you to save a dog today, or tell your friends, I'm sure everyoneeeeeeee knows someone that wants a dog, well tell them to look no further and go to this website!

I hope you guys take an interest in this, and try to make a change, that's something I actually want to rant about. People being so self centered and not willing to help those around you. I mean did we forget that when there is a granny at a street light we should offer them help in crossing the street? I'm not counting myself out on this one, I mean there sure are times where I get selfish, but at least take the time to notice it and try to make a change. I mean must we ignore and be completely rude to a "bum" instead of being polite and telling them "No I'm sorry". They're people to you know, and in fact one of my friends recently told me how she met a bum, and gave up her Friday night, to meet him up in South Beach at his "corner" and celebrate his birthday with just some food and conversation. Unfortunately the bum didn't show up, but it's besides the point. She told me how she just took some of her time one night, to have a random conversation with him, and it led to a random friendship, the bum isn't begging for food or money from her all he wanted was someone to talk to. They be the change you want to see in the world, but I don't see enough people doing that. All it takes is one person starting it maybe you pick up a beer can that was left on the beach, maybe you wait a couple seconds to hold the door open for someone with a smile, it's the smallest gestures that get people thinking, and refresh their minds that this life is more than just money, cars, & fame as stereotypes have led us to believe. So to reiterate what I already stated....BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD!
God Bless!
