went out Sunday night to a pub to watch the Spain vs Italy game, all in all a pretty boring match till of course till Penalties when spain won, (thats about all the football talk the rest will be what happened with the people arround me) anyway despite the boring game there were interesting momments that occured arround me during the game, first thing i notice the place is packed full of people watching the football alot of people supporting Spain and alot supporting Italy, and right underneath one of the tv screens is a small table where these 2 fairly old men are sitting under the screen not evan watching the football, i aient got a problem people not watching the football but are in the pub to enjoy a drink, but to go and complain about the noise everyone was making, (alot of espania and italia chants) c'mon thats just sad, and at one point these two were doing some form of holding hands lol
the mad tramp, there are many tramps in my area many that people know, one of which has his own facebook group devoted to him, anyway this tramp is walking arround with his trusty can of white lightning ( or whatever that tramp drink is that is really cheap) with his straw hat, and walking stick well i say walking stick what it really was a mop stick without the moppy bit on it lol, so to draw my attention from the football and the 2 grumpy old men underneath the screen i look out of the window and i see this mad tramp argueing with someone who is drinking outside, lol to be honest i was secretly hoping they would fight as it would be more enjoyable than the match itself, in the end unfortunatly the journeyman that was the tramp walked off with his mop walking stick and his can of tramp juice lol that sounds disgusting but so was looking at the tramp lol,
At Half time we decided to move away from to two sad men from under the screen and stand near the big projector to watch the remainder of the game, in which we were stood right next to a large group of spanish supports which mainly women, and throughout the remainder of the game started the Espania chants, and my friend standing beside me got nudged to join in lol, in his words was it was aggressive nudge after being taunted by me saying she made him her bitch lol, anyway she started various chants some were clearly in spanish which i had no idea what she was saying although it sounded good, lol, anyway towards the end there was this giant shaq type figure standing near me, and when the spanish chant woman asked who he was supporting he said Spain in which she lifted up her hand for a High 5 but what came across and which i saw, is his GIANT fist going into her palm with a solid connection lol,
so the game reaches penalties, and this possibly the most entertaining part of the actual game, as everyone in the bar was making noise for every penalty, the atmosphere was alot more intense from i could see than the time i watched the Manchester United vs Chelsea penalty shootout in the same pub, anyway during this time the Italians were the first to miss a penalty and set off more espania chants which i joined in however this night i wasnt wearing my Spain football top, and then it was later followed with the Spanish getting there penalty saved, and then all of a sudden this steroid type Italian man that happen to be working there was well but was sitting at a table for this portion of the game decides to Jump on a chair or a table there were plenty people in that night to tell what he was standing on, and turns arround and starts shouting what i assume was Italian (evan tho he looked like he may have been a pirate at some point of his life and never decided to leave the lifestyle therefore clearly not Italian possibly more eastern European) , anyway he is turned arround and facing in my direction shouting and pointing which i think was directed towards the spanish women in Italian with possibly a few Fucks thrown inbetween each Italian word, seriously i dont know where he got all this rage from lol he had the look in the eyes of someone who is about to kill you. in the end Spain won the shootout which we proceeded to jump arround, hug, high 5 each other whislt singing, "Ole Ole Ole Ole Ollle ole" which was pretty awesome and then looked at the crazy pirate Italian with his head down on the table and proceeding to sing just on his behalf, "your not singing, your not singing, your not singing anymore, your not singing anymoreee!" lol fun fun fun haha, at the end my voice was a bit gone as we left the bar i could sense i sore throat comming along as my voice was as course as Brian Adams when he sung Everything i do, im sure ill have more observations as we said we were possibly going to go out for the next Spain match,
a update on my summer, if you been paying attention to my twitter feed, you will know that this motnh ive been doing alot of ebaying, selling stuff in my room that has no more use to me, such as the FRIENDS dvd boxets (had to type friends dvd boxsets after my friend when telling him decided to go your selling ur friends in a box? the prospect would be quite funny i suppose lol wonder how much all of you are worth on ebay lol)they are funny and all but they are just collecting up space in my room, so i decided to sell them with other wrestling dvds i own, and a few xbox 360 games, also sold my old Ipod Nano for £57.50 after being offered £35 by Computer Exchange in Tottenham Court Road, (overseas readers this place is full of electical shops)
so selling my stuff only means posting my stuff, which means over the past month ive spent alot of times in the queue at post office, fun fun fun the words by the tannoy casher number (insert number) really does get irritating after a while, but no more irratating than when you forget your ipod and forced to hear the sounds arround you in the queue especially when people are having a conversation and you pretty much can hear all of it without evan trying,
on tuesday i posted the ipod in a bubble wrap envelope type thing no idea whats its called, with about 4 layers of brown tape you may remember the brown tape from when i damaged my ankle when i taped the ice bag on it with brown tape, anyway i taped the top of the evelope like mad then sent it, and walked outside the post office to find everyone standing still, im wondering why the hell are all these people standing still then i look across the road and see a ambulance, i dunno what it is about fire engines, police cars and ambulances that makes people stop and stare at whats going on, i say i get annoyed by it but sometimes i find myself doing this but its usually more when some people are argueing, which would bring me to tell the story about the time i witnessed a savage fight between two women on the way home from University, i dunno what they were fighting about but it was savage hair pulling random pushing and shoving, with a whole crowd in the shopping centre (i refuse to call it a mall lol) and then sneakly one of the women when everyone thought it was over decides to sneakly remove her boot and then stealthly run and attack the other one with the boot, until some man decided to stop it and tackle the woman with the boot into a shop window, unfortunatly it didnt break, if it did it would have been the best non wrestling fight ive seen lol, and boo to the man that stopped it, i really wonder what would have happened if it continued im sure probably a fight to the death lol the only thing that was missing was everyone yelling and fist pumping in the air "fight! fight! fight!"
im still suffering from my sleep insomnia and you can probably see where this is going considering i have yet to mention fruit in this post, usually fruit along with eggs usually find themselves being chucked from outside my front door outside when i feel the need to throw something lol but weirdly at 2am for the last 2 nights without being forced or challenged to eat fruit, i picked up a apple, and ate it, and then i picked up another and ate it again, so my sleep insomnia has made me develop a weird night time eating habit, and its something i dont evan like how uncool lol considering the only way i get my so called 5 fruits and veg a day is by drinking fruit juice lol, and those tropical drinks u can knock that out it one sitting lol,
as you can tell this has been a pretty forced blog and i apologize lol (better savour that cause those are rare) but when u aient got money you refrain from going out hence nothing much to write about, however least i finally got round to putting in the story about the 2 women fighting in the shopping centre for everyone to see,
this isnt really a long post, just to update you on certain things ive done, to my blog
i just purchased www.mannydas.com as you might have already noticed, now its easier to remember if you havnt bookmarked me or subscribed to me yet (and if you havnt why? and if havnt done so whislt reading this again why? do it, do it nowwww lol) i cant seem to get it just to be mannydas.com im working on that, but until then remember the 3 w's lol
and on the right, ----> you will notice a quick updates title, thats comming direct from my twitter account, so if you wish not to get sucked into another socializing tool as there are so many already, myspace/facebook/pownce its there for you to see what im doing without actually going to the that site or evan signing up lol,
ok i did manage to find something else to blog about, as i said in my last post, i have summer time insomnia and it doesnt seem like im alone, as i notice many of people on msn at the odd hours of night, now i have found a way to pass time while im up at that time, cause laying in bed and actually watching the sunrise from your bed is pretty well depressing, well first i did try reading a book, if anyone wants to know the book i attempted to read was "Soon i Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman" the keyword i want you to remember is Try, i got to the bottom of the first page and gave up, which is exactly the same thing that happened when i first purchased the book last December, the only reading achievements ive made was when i was challenged, first the Da Vinci Code, i was challenged that i couldnt finish that in 2 weeks, beat that challenge and then some with a week to spare, yes i read half the book, and then found the audiobook to read along, yes i read along with the audiobook for the remainder of the book, the second challenge was last summer, when i was challenged that i couldnt read all the Harry Potter Books at the time 1-6 books before i turned 21, which gave me 3 weeks, destroyed that challenge by evan extending it by reading the final book aswell, again the audiobook did come into play but when Stephen Fry is reading them why not!
anyway enough about the reading challenges and taking baths in the dark (if you dont know what im talking about read the post named "Parcel Wrapped Ankle"), my latest way of dealing with my insomnia is to watch dvd boxsets and downloaded tv seasons during the night as there really isnt anything to watch at night, so far have got through the big bang theory, before you ask the only reason i really watched that was for the star Kaley Cuoco, the show isnt bad although i wouldnt recomend it lol they over use canned laughter,
gone through season 1-2 of scrubs gonna start on 3 soon after watching season 1 of Heroes, and could evan lead to watching season 1-5 dvds of family guy,
also watching big brother on you tube (yup am actually gonna watch it as there is one character in this year that is blatently gonna start loads of arguements there was one on last nights episode aswell, and you know i love to watch a good arguement) at about 1am each night, for 2 reasons, firstly the Euro 2008 is on when the actual show is on, so i miss it, and i also miss the repeat at 10 on the +1 hour channel cause i just cant be bothered, and im awake anyway and might aswell be entertained as i cant sleep, and secondly i have a possessed tv, it turns off when every it feels like, this usually can vary, sometimes it will switch off every 10mins on the clock, or every 15, or 30 mins, or sometimes it will be fine and stay on but that is very rare,
and of course reading up on gadget and tech news as the new 3G Iphone has been announced by Apple and to be released in July, and im considering maybe getting one, although not sure i want to change networks, and a 18th month contract does seem like ages lol,
each of these were gonna be added to a normal post, but as i dont have anything to write ill just make it a post of its own,
Number 1 Fan, you know who you are lol, firstly i wanna wish you a Happy 21st Birthday (and yes this is your present), and many more to come, and maybe another epic trip to hamleys (for those who actually read this and dont know hamleys epecially for my overseas readers, hamleys is the biggest Toy and board games shop) where we played with the screen and handwriting recognition thing, i would post the picture but cant find it anywhere from ages ago, you remember its the one that read on the screen "<------ Smells" with flies floating over it lol [Update, shows that you apparently kept it lol], and not to mention crashing the Thomas the tank engine train set, (there you happy not only did u get yet another mention on my blog but i finally mentioned about the hamleys trip)
Double/Triple S again you know who you are, firstly its probably your birthday aswell as you have like 9 every year lol, what are you like 180 ish now? lol any how im sure you will have many more double/triple S momments to come, and of course me to make fun of you and repeatedly call you a double/triple S. not to mention call you when im slightly injured lol, despite you lying in my last post about me calling you when i hurt my ankle, when i blatently didnt, you LIAR and you also lied about building a wooden Giraffe so you are a Liar, lol
Mega Boob lol again you will know who you are, i think it needs to be said to you and the rest of my readers that you my friend is completly obsessed with boobs, which would be normal if you were a guy lol but it isnt coz your a girl [Update she wants me to mention that she is single and not a lesbian lol if any of my dude readers are interested lol, and grrr you for using my blog as a dating service], and she is all about the boobs, no really she is and she evan recently told me that she wrote her 10, 000 word dissertation on them, (every guy reading this jaw has just dropped and possibly drooling lol)
Everyone Else ok i cant post about everyone cause that would take forever, but i got much love for you as you are my readers, and reading some of my posts do take much effort as i do sometimes write a bit too much, (lol dont hate when your in the zone your in the zone lol so dont question the fire that burns inside lol and Triple S it isnt heartburn) and also wanna thank you for leaving comments as its always fun to hear feedback from my random to border line stupid will jumping and clearing the stupid border posts, lol
ok now this is sounding like im about to die or give up blogging lol, just so you know im perfectly well, and this isnt a will or a death bed video lol,
yup looks like ive hurt myself again, yesterday i happened to be playing basketball with my friends, and we played for about 2 maybe 3 hours, i started noticing a paining effect in my left ankle ( you will come to know that is a regular occurance lol) but rather than sit out i decide to play through the pain, well i think i went a bit too far as i had to sit out the last game as the pain got to much that i was actually limping arround not able to put weight on it, which made it a pain in the arse to get home, as we took bus to get to the court that day, and the bus stop wasnt far but it would be twice the effort getting there, anyway i managed to hobble my way down to the bus stop, as my friends wanted to go play poker i said i wont be joining them tonight as frankly i needed to treat my ankle asap before i cant walk on it at all, so i get home and put some ice on it, yet i didnt wanna hold the ice to my ankle so i decided to tape the ice pack (ice in ziplock back with brown packaging tape) to my foot and ankle, and threw in some lasagne in the microwave and watched the 2nd half of the football that night, with my ankle propped up on pillows as i did so, not exactly the most Comfortable way to eat or sit either evan tho it sounds like it does, (killed a moth just as i was typing, nothing to do with what im talking about but i think you should know lol)
Summer plays host again to Insomnia, or as i call it summer insomnia, i cant bloody sleep at all, evan when i want to or feel incredibly tired, ill be laying in bed, and my eyes WIDE open, its as if my body wont let me sleep, till 4-6 in the morning, and what makes it evan worse my body will then naturally wake up at 9-10, seriously what the hell lol, anyway last night id had come home with my banged up and parcelwrapped a ice bag to my ankle and been sitting arround watching tv, as everyone had gone to sleep, i decided to attempt to sleep that failed, and thus i laid in bed thinking, and yes i do think and not just make irrational decisions, anyway i thought i didnt exactly shower since comming home, so as im not able to sleep i might aswell go shower, but then i realised 2 dilemas, firstly ill wake up everyone in the house if i use the shower as they will hear the water splashing, and secondly the there is a glass kinda window above the door of the bathroom, dont ask me why the place was built like that, and the light in the bathroom is extremly bright and peeps in my house sleep with there doors open so the light will reflect into there rooms, which i wanted to avoid, and i think you can see where im going with this, i had a bath in the dark, lol well first decided to soak my ankle properly in the hot water in the dark followed by washing the dried sweat (yes i thought i hadnt disgusted you yet so i think ill do it now,) yes dried sweat that i had achieved from playing basketball earlier in the day, well could say yesterday as it was about 2am when i was doing this lol
now i wonder how many more injuries ill pick up over this summer, im gonna say 5, post a comment if you think im right or that it will be higher or lower,
a day after getting attacked in the lost jungle by plants protecting the jungles secrets, or just stupid boy kicks ball into stupid giant bushes of nettles and stupid boy then retrives ball in shorts pretty much, left me last night itching like i had chicken pox, and i pretty much tried everything except calamine lotion as there was none to be found in the house, so i attempted cleaning my leg up with a 70% alcohol solution and no i did not try to drink it and no i did not pour whiskey on my leg just to clear that up lol. when that didnt work i attempted some aloe vera gel which usually prooves effective when i got a rash or an itch, however not today, attempted using some Dettol that didnt work, i was told to go find a dock leaf, and my response was psshh like im gonna go looking for that cause knowing me id probably end up getting attacked by the nettles again, so went to bed wearing tracksuit bottoms tucked into football socks to prevent myself easy access into direct scratching my skin probably worked i dunno, wasnt as itchy today as i was yesterday, although my legs are showing signs that i was attacked by the evil plants and evan scratch marks when i went crazy and started scratching them last night before going to bed,
interesting that Big Brother begins tonight in the UK again, and im stuck with should i watch it or not, and i usually watch it cause i like to watch a arguement every now and again, and during the summer i get weird patches of insomnia seeing me watch the live 24 hour feed of them at like 3 in the morning and most of the time there asleep which is SAD and i will admit that lol, and its usually the ultimate distraction especially when i was doing GCSE's and A Levels with the 24 hour feed again yes i may have watched it instead of studying but shhhh lol, although as Euro 2008 kicks off i doubt ill pay much attention to the 24 hour stream of Big Brother, which brings me a nice segway into Euro 2008 which i will be rooting for Spain, as England didnt qualify which i suppose wouldnt have made a difference as England never win anything football related so id rather not have my hopes and emotions played with by the England football team lol, and Spain is the closest thing to England this year, as Spain alot like England are always expected to do well in these competitions but dont lol,
i joined Twitter today... if you want quick updates with what im doing during the day thats the place to go check it out, although i dunno if im gonna update it that often during the day, as its almost as bad as the drug facebook and myspace, anyways heres where to find me, https://twitter.com/Mannydas
and ill leave tonights post with this, those who know me really well would know this advert is about me lol, or would evan believe i had something to do with the making of this advert, the backstory i rarely eat salads or vegetables,
first post in June, hope you enjoy this, anyway back to business since my summer officially kicked off on friday, there hasnt been any sun, just been rain and more rain, today however was different the sun was out every now and again, and me and my friend decide to attempt something silly, that being "Kicking a football from one end of a basketball court into the rim" didnt really work out to great, if you ask me anyway, we hit the backboard a few times but more missed the target that anything, below are 2 videos of my many attempts,
the first video below is when i actually hit the target, well backboard so that was fun however note i didnt celebrate lol,
The second video is the main reason im blogging about this and is the main reason for the title of this post, as you can see from the video not only did i miss the backboard i kicked right over the fence, and into the jungle type area behind the fence.
let me just say retriving that ball sounds alot easier said than done at that time, it was lituarally like a episode of Lost only in Lost they seem to know where there going, whereas i had no idea where this ball went, had to look at the video a number of times to estimate where abouts the ball could have went, now what i want to take notice that there were stingy nettles and all kinds of other stupid plants (yes fuck plants) in there and if you saw the videos i was wearing shorts, so as i type this up im trying desperatly to fight the urge to scratch my legs, and evan on my knuckles and my fingers, it was only after numerous walking arround in the "Jungle" that i managed to pick up the ball, which isnt very easy when its a dark ball so it doesnt stand out (click on the picture on the right and see if you can find it lol and if you do well done, try doing that when theres millions of other places that it could have gone) we did finally find the ball and decide to call it a day, and to try again another time, next time i will be wearing trousers, and probably bring garden sheers and scissors. im gonna end this post now, and possibly scrub off a layer or 2 of skin to remove these nettle stings,
( i may post some more pics of the jungle later as a edit if you wanna check out the actual jungle i went through in order to find the ball, but until then ur stuck with just the one picture today)
