Why the US needs to play more soccer

Popularity of football (soccer) around the world(via wikipedia, click for full size

football around the world

Hi all,

after the world cup I was thinking that US definitely needs to play playing more soccer (ahem football) it’s a very simple sport and doesn’t take as much time as US football, and its constant action, not, play for 8 seconds, penalty, wait for penalty ruling, wait for penalty to be approved, penalty challenged, ads, play for 8 seconds, repeat.  I also think we should play more cricket, but that’s another post.  Well I’ve gotta go write another email to FIFA requesting Omaha be the location of 2026 world cup.

haha she lost

Hi all,

Well first I want to apologize for not blogging I’ve been kinda busy.  Well some of you out there probably play “The Game”, which you just lost (but so did I to think of the post), and if you don’t start.  It’s really fun and there’s only 3 rules

  1. Everyone in the world is playing The Game. (Sometimes narrowed to: “Everybody in the world who knows about The Game is playing The Game”, or, “You are always playing The Game.”) You cannot not play The Game; it does not require consent to play and you can never stop playing.
  2. Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses.
  3. Losses must be announced to at least one person (either by using a statement such as “I Lost The Game” or by alternative means).

that’s the game you now must play, it’s impossible not to.

Courtyards are weird

1 Comment

Hi all,
Well I’m sitting here in room 202 of the long island courtyard Marriott. I was walking around(as I so love to do) and it’s decorated in a perfect style, has great amenities, but the room is kinda sucky. Last night I was staying a just plain old Marriott and the room and hotel was nice and normal. But HERE it’s all different, there’s like a restaurant, and a convenient store, and, yes, and actual courtyard, this one seems more like a place to hang out, where you would just stay here, and the other one just seemed like lodging. Also the did something weird at checkin here, the made me sign a no partying policy, and yes that is hoe they worded it at the top it said, no partying policy, weird right. That’s all,

Instrument segregation

3 Comments

Hi all,

Well, I play the cello and am in an orchestra. During practice today I was wondering why it seems the violins always get the melody, and us Violas, and Cellos always get stuck on backup, and don’t even get me started on the poor basses. Well I originally thought it was just our conductor the last 3 years, because she was a violin( well she played all the instruments, but violin was her main), but our new conductor is a cello like me, and we’re still in the background.

Cello, 'A voz do amor e da dor e da paixão...'...

So what I want to know is whose idea was it to make the violins the main instrument, was it back in the time of Bach and Beethoven, or was it just in modern times, and how did it get that way, was there a reason, or did it just work out that way, or was it some sort of prejudice, I don’t know, but what I do know is that us cellos, and violas, and basses are all condemned to a life of playing backup for those big wig violins.

Mini lab

2 Comments

Hi all,
A few days ago I got an idea whil I was playing with my dog, a yellow lab. Labs are always so cute as puppies, but as they get older they look less cute. I think there should be labs that just stay small and cute their entire life. I mean they have miniture yorkies(I’m nor kidding they’re called teacup yorkies, look it up) and they’re like 10 times smaller then normal yorkies(only 5 Lb.)Why can’t they have labs like that that’s what I shpuld devote my life to.

I need a vacation

Leave a comment

Hi all,
I really need a vacation(sorry to be so blunt). I haven’t been on one in over a year, and some of you may think “well that’s not too bad” well to you it probably isn’t but to me that’s like AN ETERNITY because (this is gonna make me sound really pompus) I’m used to going somewhere AT LEAST once a month. Even not one day out of Omaha since like July(don’t het me wrong I love it here). Not even to my favorite hotel The Fairmont Turnberry Isle in Miami. Well it’s a good thing that we didn’t go to Hawaii this weekend because(if you follow me on Twitter you already know this)their was a HUGE scare there with that earthquake in Chile. The waves weren’t too bad only about an (I think) 3ft. surge. But it was preety big earthquake. The strongest this year in fact(yep even strongere than Haiti). So big in fact the tsunami waves hit all the way to Japan!!! But there was no extensive damage beyond Chile. In other news the olympics end today :( in fact I just watched the US v. CANADA hockey game the US tied it in the last 30 seconds but Canada won in sudden death. Well Silver isn’t bad. Well gottago.

Hi all,
I am taking an online class on developing software it’s really fun. It’s like source codes and all that so if y’all have any requests just E-mail me at declanswpblog@gmail.com and maybe someday I’ll make it but it’s probably going to be months before I even start creating it but who knows maybe I’ll make some of your ideas eventually. I’m also looking for a name, but you probably don’t care about that.

Cold

Leave a comment

  hi all,

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve had a bad cold since Monday when I went out to shovel snow.   And since then I’ve had a nasty cold.  Also today I was looking soooo forward to our war because I just got recruited to a team and then suddenly the wars suddenly got banned on my first day :( .  I was soooo bummed out.  The war was going to be soooo fun and I was all pumped and on my way to the battlefield (aka the gym) when they stopped our entire team just as we got there.  but I really feel sorry for the commanders, they had put so much time into recruiting and training their teams so they deserve compensation.
