Skins brodaaa.

Skins is a wild ride through the lives of a group of high school friends stumbling through the mine field of adolescence... and stepping on most of the mines as they go.

We'll meet TONY; good looking, witty, manipulative - he wants everything, and usually gets it. Then there's his girlfriend MICHELLE; gorgeous and clever, just not clever enough to realize Tony may not be the right one for her. And maybe the right one is actually Tony's best friend, STANLEY. He's everything Tony isn't, and that might end up being a good thing. Of course, Stanley is stuck in a pretend relationship with CADIE, possibly the most dysfunctional girl ever to attend a high school... or maybe that's all just another thing she's faking. You'll love CHRIS because, well, everyone does. No drug is too obscure for him to try, and no sexual mountain too high for him to climb. Complicating everyone's life is the infamous TEA. She likes girls. And girls like her. What more is there to figure out... right? And let's not forget ABBUD, the not so devout Moslem and DAISY, the responsible one of the group who is just itching to break some rules of her own.

Be it sex, drugs, the breadth of friendships or the depth of heartbreaks, Skins is an emotional mosh-pit that slams through the insanity of teenage years. They'll crush hearts and burn brain cells, while fearlessly confronting every obstacle head on...or slightly off.

Anonymous interviewssss.

Soccer Interviews with Kari Waivol.

1.       Who first introduced you to the soccer world?

-From what I can remember, I kind of introduced myself to soccer. When I was little that is just something I picked from the start, and knew it was defiantly something that I wanted to do.

2.       Did you find it interesting? Explain.

-Of course I found it interesting, I was fascinated by it. Soccer came natural to me and I just loved it with everything I had.

3.       What was your first soccer memory?

-Oh gosh! My very first soccer memory was with my best friend ever! We were 5, and on different teams. Her team had a huge lead, and we didn’t have a chance so they put her in goal. All of a sudden it started pouring rain outside. She, and everyone else ran off the field, but I continued on and scored my very first goal on her.

4.       What’s your favorite soccer memory?

-One of my favorite soccer memories, a personal one (solo) was in my 10^th grade varsity season game against Edgewood. I scored 3 goals all on my own, just ripped them off like they were nothing … effortless. Our 4^th goal we scored in that game was souly from my assist.

5.       How long have you played soccer?

-Well lets see, I started when I was 5. I’m still playing to this day, so around 12 years or so.

6.       What’s your favorite thing about soccer?

10.   How do you feel about soccer?

-How do I feel about soccer? It’s so simple, but so complex… Basically soccer = LOVE! My one true love. The passion I have for soccer is so incredibly high that it’s almost unphathomible. Soccer is something that has kept me grounded over the years growing up, and honestly I am so thankful for that. Soccer is the biggest/most thing I’ve worked for my whole life. People that know me or see me know that I play and have played forever. It’s just apparent and I love that and for sure wouldn’t have it any other way.

         Women's soccer, although having a huge popularity in the last decades of the 20th century and today, was always shadowed by the men's soccer, but the ladies are determined to change this and come to equal standards with the boys. The way things are moving currently, it's not impossible that this will someday happen as it's already close to happening in other sports such as handball, volleyball and tennis. But before going into details on what's currently happening in women's soccer and what's going to happen in the near future, let's take a look inside the history of women's soccer and find out where and when it was born as well as meeting some of the legendary ladies. The first written document related to the history of soccer can be found in a 300 BC Chinese war manual, used by men to familiarize themselves with their ancient version of the sport, which included kicking a ball (made out of pig bladders or stuffed leather) through a hole in a cloth tied up between two poles. Although there's no proof that women played this sport as well, there is a clear reference to this that is often used as the start-point of the history of women's soccer. The reference is depicted in a Han Dynasty fresco believed to be created around 200 CE, which clearly shows two female figures playing with what is believed to be a leather ball.

        My thoughts. I just realize since I am a girl that does play soccer the importance in women's soccer. It is by far shadowed by men's soccer and for me thats kinda understandable. Boys soccer tends to play a much faster game so it is more interesting. Girls soccer will always be my top pick over boys, and hopefully for many other girls out there.

What's happenin' in the soccer world?

(Craig Bailey, FLORIDA TODAY.)

                     Recently our high school soccer season has ended. Following the end of the season we proceed into district tournaments, then regional tournaments, and then states. The Space Coast Vipers (us) ended up winning our first district game but lost the final game into making it to regionals. In our district though, the Merritt Island Mustangs were doing it big. Last year they just kept going, and going, and going. I mean it was Black & Yellow all over the place.

                Well it happens to be that time a year again and the Mustangs sadly lost in the final game in States. Here’s a little insert from Florida Today (A well-placed header with 2 minutes, 13 seconds remaining in overtime ended the Merritt Island girls soccer team's hopes of a second straight state championship. Carly Keene headed the ball in after a long flip throw-in by Lauren Laughlin as Steinbrenner beat the Mustangs 2-1 Saturday to claim the Class 4A state title at University of Tampa's Pepin-Rood Stadium. "We asked them to play with heart and soul -- they did it," Merritt Island coach Scott Carswell said of his players. "The other team came to play, as well. They got a good break there at the end. Win or lose, you're still proud of your kids. "I couldn't be more proud. You love these kids -- it's unconditional.")

                With that being included in my blog, I’d like to add that even though they lost that is still a great accomplishment. I personally know a few on the girls on that team, and play with them. That gives me hope for us next year to make it big. It’s going to be most of our senior years, 11 of us.  So its train hard, go big or go home. 2012 soccer season better get read because here we come!

                                      

Soccer, what is it?

                                                   

Soccer, what is it? Well it’s a sport with many things that most people wouldn’t know about it. When you play soccer you’re not only on a team, but your basically joining yourself to a new family. We spend tremendous amounts of time with each other. From practice every day after school, games every weekend, team bonding that lasts for hours on end, and traveling to tournaments. What happens is we become a family during that time. The closer you get with your team, the tighter the bond you have with each other on the field. What happens is you can end up forming some type of telepathy. Trust me, that's not a joke. In the game you kind of just know where that persons going to be without having to take the extra time to look for an open player. 

        Also a lot of people don't quite understand the rules o soccer. The biggest misunderstanding is "off sides" it's the rule that offensively you cannot be further back then the opposing teams defense before a player on your team has kicked the ball entitling it to go past the defense. Sounds pretty confusing I know, but if you play the game it's nothing new. Piece-a-cake. 

       Some little extra facts that possibly may be unknown are that we start the game with our shirts tucked in because if you pull someone’s shirt, that's a foul. That being said, if you’re having a nice little confrontation with someone and you come out with your shirt out, you will most likely get the call. 

       We use pre wrap (what you use when you have an injury and need to get taped) in our hair as head bands.  Soccer cleats unlike football, baseball, and softball, does not have the very front notch. It's not allowed. Goalies are not allowed to pick up the ball I their own team kicks it back to them. I headed, kneed, or chested that’s perfectly permitted. If a person scores 3 goals in a game alone it called a hat trick just like in hockey.

SOCCAAA!

               Sooo Typical, Kari Waivol “The soccer girl” to write about soccer. Well here’s the situation, most of you probably think soccer is extremely boring and stupid and I kind of understand that. It’s not a sport that you can just wake up one morning and decide “Hey I’m going to be a soccer super star today” Nope! It’s a sport that takes a tremendous amount of practice, determination, and dedication. It’s the type of sport you had to of known and loved since you were a young child.
                What most people don’t know is that the World Cup is the most watched sports finals worldwide. It’s also really cool that all the countries come together in unity to see who’s the best of the best, literally. Soccer and the World Cup especially is such an important thing to us soccer fans. Here’s an example of how we like to think of it. Some people believe soccer is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.“Soccer's a difficult business and aren't they prima donnas. But it's a wonderful game.”(Queen Elizabeth II To Premier League Chairman David Richards, November 2006.)               

 On another note soccer is something that I strive to do well in. It’s what I truly am passionate about. Soccer = my one true love. It’s a matter of if your first, you’re first. If your second your nothing. Most of the time we’re thinking about wining when it comes to soccer, but you also form the family bond with your team. It’s kind of refreshing in a way. I play club soccer and high school soccer, so I’m pretty much playing all year around. I’d have to say hands down, my favorite time of the year is high school soccer season. Every year your bond with the girls just gets stronger and stronger and in doing that the team progresses even further then the year before.

All in all I absolutely love it. It is what it is.
