Mental notes are easily erased

I made mental notes of a few things on the weekend that I wanted to come and put in a bit of a “This is what happened in my head on the weekend” type posting. Unfortunately the effects of beer also went on in my head, and while I don’t forget what happened on the weekend, I can’t really remember these poignant things I was supposed to write about. Still I am going to type about the weekend and see what I end up with.

I bagged my 10th goal of the season on Saturday in our 4-2 win. I am clearly the leading goal scorer in the team but the funny thing about it is that at least skill-wise, I am probably the worst player in the side. None the less I am doing what is required of me as a striker and we’re winning games. I’m having a great time playing for Kiwi FC this season and we’re having our best season yet.

I claimed Kiwi-ness again on Sunday when the All Blacks took on the English. I borrowed my mate Bryan’s spare All Blacks jersey and was happy to cheer a pretty solid win. The All Blacks are awesome and I can’t see them losing the world cup next year.

It was a pretty good day all round for sport watching yesterday. As I am a recently single man, I can watch all the sport I want. Starting in the morning with the final of the ICC champions’ trophy; after a great start by the Windies, the Aussie bowlers ripped through their batsmen and put themselves in a great position to win the only trophy they haven’t won. I watched them bat up until 45-2, but then the rain came. By the time they were back on the pitch, I was in the pub with a good spot for watching the rugby.

Before that though it was great to see Arsenal lose to a 88th minute winner against West Ham. It was even better to see Arsene Wenger throw his toys out of the pram, refuse to shake Alan Pardew’s hand then refuse to talk to anyone after the game. I have great admiration for the man who is clearly a football genius but he is also a big baby and a very bad loser. Of course the fact that he manages Arsenal makes him a prick anyway.

Still can’t think of what those cool things were that I was going to write about. I am getting a new smartphone this week (fingers crossed) so once that happens I can feel myself becoming more organised, I will probably write things down more often (since it has a touch screen and stylus.) It’s the Sonyericcson W950i check it out.

I have a potato at home, I’ll pick up a piece of fillet steak at Moens for dinner.

Right that’s it. This was probably just a waste of time
