My Soccer Team

During the summer my friends and I randomly started to play pick up soccer. Almost everyday we would call each other up and we would play it for the majority of the day. When the summer came to an end, we couldn’t find that much time to play because of all the homework, after school activities, and other sports we had to focus on. Finally we found a solution by creating an Intramural Soccer Team. Our team name is “Kick Some Balls and we play at least once a week after school at three thirty. The first day that the Intramural Soccer League started, we only played practice games. Most of our players were missing because of other after school activities but our team did a decent job for the amount of guys we had. Today the actual season started and the games counted towards our record so it was very important to win and do good in order to make the playoffs. Only three off our guys showed up so it wasn’t looking very good for us but we then found out that only one person from the other team showed up. So by the other team not showing up we ended up winning off of a forfeit. We also still got to play another practice game which was also good because we could get prepared for our next game. So hopefully more of our teammates will show up and hopefully we can make the playoffs.

The Wedding

About a week ago I went to my cousins wedding. I was very excited about this because I love weddings and I think that they are very fun. The service was really nice meaning it wasn’t too long and wasn’t to short. It was just right. I really liked the music they had at the service because it was very peaceful and it seemed to fit the service just right. After the service we went to the reception which was right on Lake Minnetonka. When we got to the reception I realized how hungry I was. All they had at that point was some snacks and appetizers because they were getting ready for the dinner. So here I am, all over the fruit while others are socializing with relatives they haven’t seen in awhile. Now that I look on this I probably looked like an idiot going crazy on all of the food. Finally they let people start sitting down so we could fill our stomachs up. I didn’t eat that much because of all the other food I ate before but the meal was still very delicious. I then began to think about dancing because that is my favorite part of weddings. After some speeches and comments the band started and before I knew it I was off dancing. I literally danced for three hours and by that time it was twelve o clock A.M. I was so exhausted and I was ready to leave to go to bed. When I got home and got in my soft bed I realized that that wedding was one of the best weddings that I had ever been to.

My Fantasy Football Team

This is my first year in a fantasy football league. I am in this league with my friends and there is money on the line. About a month ago we all got together and drafted our players. But during the first two rounds our computers froze allowing us to be on auto pick which wasn’t good. We were all upset because we dint get a chance to pick the guys we wanted too. But after the second round the computer was back to normal and we got to pick the rest of our players without the computers help. About two weeks later I had my first game and it was against my twin brother. I had some pretty solid guys on my team but my quarterback was Donovan Mcnabb. I don’t mind Donovan Mcnabb as a player but most guys thought that I wasn’t going to do very well with him as a quarterback compared to what other guys have. But I ended up doing just fine and so did Donovan Mcnabb. I beat my brother by about twenty points and I was off to a good start. About a week after that I had my next game against one of my friends. His team looked very good and his team compared to mine was a lot better. The game I watched was the Eagles against the Cowboys and Donovan Mcnabb is on the Eagles so I got to watch my quarterback play. On the Cowboys my opponent had a great wide receiver named Terrell Owens. I for sure thought that I was going to lose after I saw Terrell score two back to back touchdowns. Also my opponent had the Cowboys special teams and they scored a touchdown off the kick return. But again I ended up winning by about forty points. My fantasy team is looking very good so far considering that I am 2 and 0. I can’t wait to see how my team does in the future.

Blog Expectations

My name is David. This is my blog, which I will personalize and make my own(but not post pics of myself on or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog and follow the conventions of the English language.The expectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on texts that I am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, internet articles, television shows, trips to museums, etc. etc. etc.Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am on that Wednesday. Therefore, Q1 due dates are 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, and 10/29. That makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 points per quarter and are graded holistically (I will receive the rubric from Mrs. B. soon). I also understand that blogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, What I have just typed is only 196 words! Now it is 200!

Journey I Intend to Take

If I could go on any journey in the world, I would want to go on a road trip(only take plane to states that I cant get to from car) to every state. I think it would be fun because I would get to expirience how each state is different from eachother. It would get really hard and stressfull though because of all of the driving. But the state that I would want to go visit the most is Hawaii. I would want to go to Hawaii the most because I have never been there before and it seems very beautiful. I know that this journey would cause alot of problems but thats what makes the journey interesting.
