I have always heard about friends and what not blogging away; seemed interesting but never thought I would find time and energy to do it. Then again - why not? "The Time is Always Now..."
SO today is my first blog entry... Thursday, July 21st and I couldn't be happier
For 2 reasons:
1. Vicki is coming to visit me and I have missed her so much. Being away from my girlfriend for the past 7 months has been tough but we have done so well in growing together and not apart. I know distance can be a killer but not this time... we are planning to do something about it quite soon.
2. My local soccer team, AEK, is playing in a European game against Maltese side, Floriana. The match will be the first official game of my team this year and following last year's good course (we finished 4th) I am anticipating this season anxiously. The first game we won 8-0 in Malta so I don't think this game will be much of a contest.
Also I cannot avoid the anger and sadness that has been overwhelming all of the citizens on this island. After a tragic explosion last week in a naval base, due to the negligence and irresponsible handling of the government, 13 people have died and many others injured. Adding to the damage is the huge blow to the economy that will burden all Cypriots and has pushed us back many decades... tough times are definitely ahead for this country. All we can do is do our part and the best that we can to help our people and the ones greatly effected by the tragedy.
Well, this wasn't so bad! Ha
Until next time y'all...
