The fat lady sings

Well there it ends.

With a loss to SAJC, TJC have officially crashed out of the 11-a-side tournament. Now the only thing to look forward to, is the 8-a-side. Hopefully that goes better. Guess it was a good game today but like Manbir said, the team that made less mistakes won today.

I just finished reading the novelization of Black Hawk Down (I actually think the novel came first, not too sure about that). People ask me constantly, as to why i find the movie and the book so amazing. Simply put, it's because everything that is portrayed in both the book and the film, really happened. Enough said. That on its own is pretty unbelievable (You won't get why, unless you actually read the book.)

I was actually going to talk about my experience in TJC Cricket over the 4 years but I've decided that it will take me more time for me to actually get my thoughts in order and actually reflect on the 4 long years. Ill also wait for the 8-a-side tournament to finish before I really speak out.

Right now, I've got SATs (THIS SATURDAY) to study for, Physics test to study for, Violin to practice (BLEAGH) and school work to catch up on.

Cheers.



"Sing with me now,
sing for the year,
sing for the laughter,
sing for the tear.

Sing with me now,
just for today.
Maybe tomorrow the Good Lord
will take you away."


(P.S I don't seem to be able to damn well get the time at the bottom of the posts right. Anyone knows how to?)

Random.

I feel really random.

Random question 1:
Doesnt it really annoy you when people blame you for something that wasn't your fault?

Random fact 1:
Gilchrist is crazy. 109 of 48 deliveries is just plain brutal. One minute of silence for the Mumbai bowlers. (Amen)

Random fact 2:
All it takes is a smile to light up your day. =)

Guess typing like this is annoying. haha.

So SAJC tomorrow. Hope it goes well. However gay or wrong it sounds, I love my boys. EVERYONE of them. Tomorrow, we aint playing for anything anymore. We're playing for each other. Screw mathematical chances, I dont care. I play for the game, and nothing more.

I was talking to Balaji recently, and we were talking about how cricket is such a lonely sport. You can't talk to anyone in this school about it elaborately, and expect them to really understand what the hell you're talking about. But like he said, it really doesn't matter. And now I know how true that is.

Random question 2:
What was that all about?

gonna cash it right in for a new mercedes,
you were worth a hundred thousand miles,
but you couldn't stay a while."

Uno

Ive always wanted to get down to doing this, but I inevitably dont.

I can give a whole host of reasons, but simply put I'm one lazy bugger.

So why now? Guess this year hasn't been great. (read as "downright screwed up")

First there was the whole Term 1 incident. Then the fiasco of a cricket camp. The CAPTAIN crisis. And now the tournament. It may not seem like much to anyone else. In fact, I'm betting there are people who'd read this and go, "what a whiner". Well go ahead. =) I just need somewhere to let it out. And thus, this blog. =)

I shall do what I can to make this blog cheerful and happy. I promise. It shall not be all whining, and complaining and what not. But what this blog will be, is a true, ramrod straight reflection of my thoughts. I really don't care who I offend. There's the comments option for you to flame me. (what you want me to make it easy for you with a tagboard?)

But to those who really care, and even occasionally identify with what I write?

Welcome aboard.

Cheers.
