the night durga got her ass whooped

background music : one angry dwarf by ben fold's five

my morning began normally enough. by 8 am i was at j's front step to pick her up for an hour's walk down and up this park...





j had her torturing session which was quite long for me, i got back to the apartment by 12:30. took a nap at around 2, woke up at 5, tidied up a bit, showered and geared up to go meet up with the soccer crew.

jersey roads are so poorly lit. even with glasses on i had a hard time driving to the park. good thing gps amy was handy. i ignored her instructions anyway. took one wrong turn, but made it to the park by 8:10 just as the kiddie league was wrapping up their practice.

the field was beautiful , astro turf baby!





so anyway, coach ernie's team seem to be really serious. i was nervous of course. it's been what, 16 years since i played soccer, and now i remember why i stopped. oh, yeah, i suck at it.

half the time stupid me was switching between basketball and soccer mode. i keep running after the ball with my hands and trying to catch the ball with my arms. sigh. see, if this was a basketball practice i wouldn't have such a horrible time. the only problem is -- i am too short. well, at least in this side of the world.


okay fine, i wasn't that bad, but 45 minutes into drills, i was done. i didn't even wait for the scrimmage. i had to go before i have a heart attack. but that work out was very good though, i dunno if it was the bodyshop's peach body butter dripping down my back or grease, i mean oil, i mean sweat. i think i might come back for more next week, or i might try to find another team closer to my town. the 30 minute drive at 10 pm kinda unsettles me.

this is my after half-practice shot. lookit my dork gear...



let's see how much it'll hurt to get out of bed tomorrow....
