Ok alot has happened me in the last 24 hours, some good, some bad, some stupid and some insignificant. I shall try explain it all without blabbering on too much :P
Ok so all starts yesterday evening. I was getting ready to go to play a game of football on our local astro turf as training for my team, Willow Park FC, was cancelled since there was a death in the club. So while I am waiting for my dad also to get ready I checked my emails and to my surprise I had an email from the Irish Defence Forces to say that I have been chosen to advance to the first physical stage which is the fitness test. This test consists of a 1.5 mile run in 11 minutes and 30 seconds, 20 push ups in 1 minute and 20 sit ups in 1 minute. As I have done this test myself a number of times I was very confident of success in this fitness test so it is scheduled for 19/11/2010 which is about 2 weeks away. So with nerves setting in thinking about this fitness test I went to play football and thought to myself that I will have to run more than I would normally just to keep sharp for this test.
We got to the astro and the game commenced with our team looking the likelier of the two to walk away winners on the night. I got a ball out on the left wing and being faster than my opponent I decided to just push it by him and beat him for pace. So I faked right and pushed the ball to the left of him and started to sprint then BANG, my left hamstring pops for the second time in about 12 weeks. As I have spent weeks getting myself back playing football after this exact injury not too long ago I got so angry that it happened again with this fitness test around the corner and half a season left to play with my team.
So after calming down and finishing the game in goal I had to go and buy beer as it was also one of my best friends birthdays and we had planned to go out that night. So I went and bought loads of Bud and a bottle of Jagermeister for the special occasion.
We ended up going to the night club that we go to on Thursday nights called Karma. We parties and had lots of fun. But what was different about this night is that after the nightclub we were going to a music store in one of the shopping centers in town and were going to que to buy tickets to Kings Of Leon who are playing in Slane Castle, Ireland on the 28th of May 2011. So we arrived to the store at about 4 o'clock in the morning, still full of alcohol but having fun. Doors opened at 8 o'clock and we got our tickets because of our early arrival we were 8th place in the line so were happy to get sorted with tickets. According to the Irish news tickets for the event sold out in 40 minutes. Upon doing some simple maths I made up that 2000 tickets were sold every minute of those 40 minutes. Its absolutely crazy with the demand for this bang. But because they are the best band in the world it is only expected.
So thats all for now. Thanks for reading my blog yet again. Expect another entry very soon!
