nick - the finisher

The Finisher
He walks by day
he plays by night
the game is quick
the end in sight
the goal is near
so close he tastes
the end of his
opponents' fate
and then the kill
for then he scores
the power stroke
the goalie fears
he strikes again
a vipers' kick
to end
to finish
and to win.

A Lady's Life

Runner Up For Delta Men's Soccer


CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!! My Son's Soccer team got silver in the Fraser Valley, Pakenham Cup Game 2011 this week end. The medal is a very nice one and the men are happy to bring something home to Mama. loll ================================= Its the year 2019 and Romeo Beckham is about to sign professional terms with Manchester United. Pondering the situation, he asks his Father, "What squad number should I ask for dad?" David thinks for a moment and says... "Wear four out there Romeo" =================================

What do you call a Spanish goalkeeper without any legs? Gracias (grassy ass)


=================================

A soccer goalkeeper was walking along the street one day when he heard screams from a nearby building. He looked up to see smoke billowing from a fourth-floor window and a woman leaning out holding a baby.

"Help ! Help!" screamed the woman, "I need someone to catch my baby!"


A crowd of onlookers had gathered, but none was confident about catching a baby dropped from such a great height. then the goalkeeper, stepped forward. "I'm a professional goalkeeper," he called to the woman. "I'm renonwned for my safe hands. Drop the baby and I will catch it. For me, it will be just like catching a ball."


The woman agreed:"Ok, then. When I drop my baby, treat it as if you were catching a ball."


On a count of three, the woman dropped the baby. Everyone held their breath as the goalkeeper lined himself up to catch it. There was a huge sigh of relief, followed by wild cheering as the goalkeeper caught the baby safely in his arms. Then he bounced it twice on the ground and kicked it 50 yards down the street.


==============================



Hours after the end of the world, a border dispute emerged between heaven and hell. God invited the devil for conversations to find a way to resolve this dispute quickly. Satan, the devil, proposed a soccer game between heaven and earth.


God, always fair, told the devil, 'The heat must be affecting your brain, the game would be so one sided, don't you know all the "good" players go to heaven?"


The devil, smiling, responded "Yeah, but we've got all the refs'..."

Canucks vs Calgary Flames



What an exhausting night!!

After watching our poor Team Canada boys loose gold to Russia 5-3, where Russia made 5 goals in the third inning, we watched our Canucks holding onto 3-0 against the Calgary Flames.

Every one was thinking the same thing. Third inning and the same thing will happen to the Cunucks , that happened to Team Canada and boy!!! WOULD THAT NOT BE a good thing lol
It was a hard squeeze but the Flames managed to score one goal just at the end and leave saving face.They have like 20 losses so far and the Cunucks 18 wins.
I understand a season has around 80 games so they have time to catch up.

I don't know who it was more tiring for, the players or the fans who sat under so much pressure, cheering for their home team.

Both teams played so well but someone in the end had to win and someone had to lose.
The Russian boys were ecstatic. This was a major thing for them for many reasons.

Now they don't have to go home fearing Mr Putin who takes losing games quite seriously lol
I loved it when they said they won for Mama but it was not clear if they were talking about their own Mama's or Mother Russia, as Russia was lovingly called. All of them sang the national anthem off tune lol (thought I'd Mention it..... to Mr Putin lol)

Now what gender would Canada be? hmmm
Probably female as would America with her Statue of Liberty.

I guess it was us gals kicking butt in the hockey arena then.
Well, we know how to keep it friendly like lol

On the comedy station one guy criticized Soccer and the yellow cards they give out.
He said what kind of a lame game is that, soccer?

Well , The Cunucks played like the soccer teams do but I noticed, they have shorter plays and change players, like every two minutes, as opposed to soccer players, some of who play both periods without going off and they have longer periods. Soccer is much harder on the body it seems than hockey is. The players are not wrapped up like mummies and still have to play in freezing rain snow and hail.

So it is not a game for pussies, as the comedian suggested. Shows how much he knew about soccer.lol
We also have our fair share of fighting and face demolition but most players keep their front teeth.
Sometimes I think they should force the players to wear helmets in soccer.

Well, I don't know why fans need all this stress but it sure feels good to be a part of a home team.
I watched the games and now feel physically tired and I bet these guys are going to take a shower and head on out to parteee.
Win or lose they are headed for bigger and better times.

and as for soccer? Well we found out it's a sad day for Canadian soccer, as CBC reported Kara Lang had to retire, due to recurring knee injuries. She is our second best Canadian woman soccer player. Well who knows, she might return one day.

Enough sports for one day . Whew!!
Good Night World :)

" We've got the best hockey team in the country unbeaten and no goals scored against us!"
" How many games have you played?"
" The first one's next Saturday."


In court the other day there was a case regarding the custody of a small child.
The judge asked the boy, "do you want to live with your mother?"
He replied, "No I don't want to live with her because she beats me!".
The judge then asked, "Do you want to live with your father?"
The boy stated, "No he beats me too."
Finally the judge asked, "where do you want to live"
The child responded, "I want to live with the Montreal Canadiens!".
The judge asked, "Why do you want to live with the Montreal Canadiens?"
The boy exclaimed, "Because the Montreal Canadiens don't beat anybody!"


St. Peter and Satan were having an argument one day about hockey. Satan proposed a game to be played on neutral ice between a select team from the heavenly host and his own hand-picked boys.

"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven. "But you realize, I hope, that we've got all the good players and the best coaches."

"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered unperturbed, "We've got all the referees."


Three Maple Leafs fans were bemoaning the fact that their team kept losing and might miss the playoffs.
"I blame the manager" said the first, "if he would sign new players then we could have a great team".
"I blame the players" said the second, "if they made more effort I am sure we would score more goals".
"I blame my parents", added the third, " if I'd been born in another city I'd be supporting a decent team!"

Soccer Fan Worries






Here is a sketch of a soccer fan I did.
She is standing, freezing in the cold, a bit concerned the game is not going the way she wants it.
Her thick long auburn hair is being blown by the wind.

When you love the game, not wind nor rain, nor sleet nor snow will stop you from being out on that field and don't I know it? lol Our family has played and sat through so many. lol
We are all like faithful post men, doing our jobs for the people and country we love.
GO TEAM!!!

FOR LEXOPHILES (LOVERS OF WORDS)

2. A will is a dead giveaway.

5. A chicken crossing the road: poultry in motion.

6. When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

FIFA WORLD CUP 2010

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!
A HISTORICAL WORLD VICTORY FOR SPAIN!!!!!!!
FINALLY!! FINALLY!!
We have a winner for the South Africa Fifa World Cup 2010!!
AN A. INIESTA GOAL
AT SOCCER CITY,
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA

Such a nerve wracking game it was between The Netherlands and Spain.
Such a tense game.
So many yellow cards.
So many chances to score.
So many fouls lol.
The referee was generous, considering many offenses were warranted red cards on both sides.

So many good soccer memories were made in South Africa in 2010 with
Nelson Mandela sitting in the audience for the final game.

We even saw US Morgan Freeman in the crowd.

Since one of my son's soccer trainers came from the Netherlands, we decided to cheer for them but it was clear from the start that the game would not be an easy one and for Spain it would be the first win ever.
The game went into torturous 2 x 15 min overtime for the fans all over the world, with the Netherlands down a man in the second 15 min overtime. For Netherlands it's a third time
world cup loss.

Well Done SPAIN!!!

It's Only Maintenance


Turkish Waxing Delights.

Well this is kinda funny cause they make jokes about how hairy Middle Eastern women are and why they cover their faces

They found out that Middle Eastern women have the most nose jobs and other plastic surgery done on them selves

And it makes you wonder why bother?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Barbara Streisand is a beauty in her own right.

Money….the right make up…. And no pain.

Well here is a Turkish sugar wax recipe to wax legs many women use and do at home with muslin fabric, otherwise known as calico.

Its an oldy but goody.

It just uses sugar, lemon juice, and water, and you can add honey as well. It's kinda like making candy:

2 c. sugar
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. water

Heat all up on a stove, stir till its all dissolved.
Watch how the mixture falls off the spoon because
you want a soft ball thickness,like caramel

Do not use it when it’s too hot.

Maybe a candle will keep it warm and gooey enough, without burning skin while using.

Use what you need and the rest might make good lollipops?????

I don’t know. Have to try it. My son, the soccer player, volunteered to have a go at it.

What men will do today to look good.

hehehe Mama's revenge hehehe


This nasty, sweaty woman, wearing a sleeveless sundress, walked into a bar. She raised her right arm, revealing a big hairy armpit and asked, "What man out there will buy a lady a drink? "

The whole bar went dead silent, while the patrons try to ignore her.

At the end of the bar, a skinny little drunk slamed his hand on the bar and said, "Bartender, I want to buy that ballerina a drink!"

The bartender poured the drink and the woman chugged it down.

Then she turned again , again revealing her hairy armpit and asked, "What man out there will buy a lady a drink? "

Once again, the little drunk slapped his hand down on the bar and said, "Bartender, I'd like to buy the ballerina another drink!"

After serving the lady her second drink, the bartender approached the little drunk and says, "It's your business if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you call her a ballerina? "

The drunk replied, "Sir, in my eyes, any woman who can lift her leg up that high has got to be a ballerina!"

Hear no Evil See no evil Do no Evil Refs




click on funny reffing for video

Life in Soccer. OOPS?


It has been a very busy week end in Soccer.
And I am finding it hard to get back on track.

We won one and lost one and the one we lost was quite upsetting for every one.
My son scored Saturday It was a two one win.

Sunday they got slaughtered. My son scored one but they came in with 6 quick ones.
Our goalie didn't know what hit him.
He had no defense around him.

Defense wasn't defending.
Refs did not do a good job of reffing.
We sustained lots of injuries.
One of our players fell and the other team's boys (seemed deliberately) stepped on his face leaving a huge cleat mark. Could have been worse. Another boy slid into the feet of our player knocking him down without touching the ball, and he got away with it.
They kept pushing from behind going into football tackles which I don't understand because soccer is supposed to be a non contact sport.
The refs ignored it.But if we ever do such things we get penalized for it.
So I am not sure what was going on but it sure didn't look good.

My son, a forward, never got close to a ball as panic set in and the game degraded.
Had we pulled up our socks we could have done it even then but seems the will was gone.
My son was pretty upset at what he saw transpire on the field and said it was very unprofessional.lol

Well my heart is also heavy for these boys They are good boys.(for the most part lol) If they don't get up and at em, and psychologically overcome the slump they are in, I'm afraid the rest of the games will not be very good for us as we have strong opposition teams to beat.

Hope you all had a great week end.
We will try to keep our chins up this end.


Have a great day :)

Mom's Perfect Day :)




I hope every one had as splendid a day as I did, spending Mothers Day with their loved ones.
My son finally managed to call after his game to wish me a Happy M Day with good news about winning the second game on Sunday and scoring two goals.:)

This was my Mothers Day present from him , to win this week end.

Thanks Son!:) Wish I was there to see it.

He visited some universities and the tuition is soo high, I don't know how people can afford it.
But he wants to play soccer and I want him educated, so we have to find the fine line between the two lol

My Husband took me to the Crab Pot on Seattle's Waterfront.
We watched some lovely boats and ferries before getting our table.

They cooked Alaskan crab with mussels, clams, shrimp, red skinned potatoes, and sweet corn chopped in 1 inch pieces together and then plopped everything on paper which they covered the table with.
Then they gave you a cutting board, a hammer and rye bread with butter and butter to dip the seafood in. Different but easy to clean up. I used to eat off banana leaves so this was nothing.lol

It was the most delicious crab I ever ate, I must say and I love crab.
Even the lemonade we ordered was just exceptionally perfect.
Not too strong and not too weak and not too sweet. Just PURRRFECT!

Thanks Honey, for a wonderful day!:)

Parking was free on Sunday, which was a treat and we parked across the street under the bridge which was quite convenient for me, since I have a small problem with my knee. lol
(Talk about having the need for tune ups lol
I am trying trigosomine and will know soon if it helps or not.)

After our wonderful meal we exited to our car and with the aid of our Tom Tom, we got to the airport just on time, to pick up the boys. It used a different route, we would otherwise never know how to use.

The days are longer now so it just got dark after 9 pm.
The 3 boys we picked up were all in good spirits and very tired.
They snoozed while we drove back up north towards the border.

We dropped two off and got ourselves home by about 1:30 am. Every one rushed to bed, to dream about our great day and week end.

The only sad news we heard was in the papers with headlines of one local death due to swine flu.
That is really very close to hitting home.

Well ... now we have new things to look forward to.
Keep on plugging as they say. lol

Take care and have a wonderful Monday!!! :)
