I got the last goal in soccer!

I got the last goal in soccer! The final score was 7-6.

When you get the last goal, people think that you won the game for the team. They say, "Yay! We won!" and we high-five. Mostly we high-five anyway for any goal but people are even more excited when you win.

I am on the Fury team. It is awesome and we are going to Red Deer in May to play against a bunch of other teams. Hopefully they do not have super-huge nets where you just shoot and get a goal.

Michael out!

I won my next soccer game!

Yay! I won my tournament soccer game versus Team C. 7-1. :) It was fun. I got like a gazillion assists, at least four. And I saved a bunch of shots. Yay! :)

There are two more games. And then we play for first place, second place and third place. So right now we've already won a medal! I think. Unless if the things are screwed up. Last tournament, I got Player of the Game and Player of the Tournament.

After next weekend, there is no soccer for a long time. I have a game tomorrow.

I actually feel sort of drowsy when I play in the net. Like blah. :( I do stretches and then I feel better once we score once or twice at least and then I know it's kind of okay if I let in a goal. But I still do not let in very many. So if we score four, then we've probably already won unless we have to verse Team D. Which are mean! And hard! :(

Today's soccer game

11-3 was the final score! We were versing Team E. They have the second best player in all the league. That is Michael I. He is also in my class at school. He has been in my class for 8 years. I didn't let any goals in. The three that they got on us was because of the other goalie. And then I got like four goals and a gazillion assists.

To be a really good goalie, you have to fling around a lot and do ninja moves. In other words, come and see me play some time on the weekend or something!

We have an awesome fieldhouse. The computer says "fieldhouse" is spelled wrong. Danged computer. That is the name of the building. Sheesh!

I'm happy! There will be more of the tournament tomorrow. We are gonna cream Team C, and then we are gonna get creamed by Team D. They are impossible to beat. They've never been beaten. But we tied with them. Go us! We are archenemies. We hate each other! NOT. They are actually my friends, sorta.

Michael out!

The last tin of iced tea in the world

I have the LAST tin of iced tea in the world.

At least for the brand. Yay! I know it is the last one in the world because I have been searching all of the stores. It's really good. :)

It's old and crumply. YUM YUM. I put five spoonfuls in a glass. :) There's still half a tin. YUM. I am not going to share it. It's gooooood. :)

I found it behind the tallest drawer behind everything. I was looking for something to eat because I was hungry and alone. All I had was the TV to keep me company. Too bad it didn't talk. :( So it was lunchtime, and then I had some waffles. I had six in total. They were goooooood. :) And when I saw the iced tea I was like "YUMMY YUMMY!" I was like "YAY FOOD!" when I found it. :)

I am now off to have some more iced tea. Michael out.

Christmas holiday!

The holiday is over. I went to camp for two weeks. It was fun. Me and my uncle made an awesome slide down our stairs. There was a big storm over the night. And in the morning we went and put all of the snow down our stairs. And then it formed into a slide. There was a jump at the bottom.

Me, my uncle, my mom and some of my cousins went down the slide. It was fun. You got to slide off and crash! It hurt. A lot!

Me, my mom, my uncle and my dad cut down a Christmas tree with the help of Riley. We went into my grampy's pasture to cut one down. We were looking for the perfect tree and we found it. My uncle said, "Hey, there's one cut down right there!" So my mom goes over and picks up a small, maybe six inch tree. And my uncle was like, "Well I was sort of thinking of the one behind it." And she looks and was like WHOA. Because the other one was like as big as her, like ten times bigger. We ended up taking an even bigger one! And we put it in the trunk of our car.

Grammy and Grampy came to visit. They slept in my other uncle's room. And I am in the bunk beds. I have my own room.

I went to Herman Mountain with my cousin. They have big tubes and you slide down the mountain. And other people were skiing. I ski cross-country.

In the summer we are going to go back and ski on the water. Because the lake will be all melted and we can go in our boat. My friend will be coming with us this summer. It will be fun and we will ski together. My mom says she is going to have a boys' camp and all of my cousins will come and we can have sleepovers and eat hot dogs and play soccer and go skiing and kneeboarding.

My soccer game

I won 8-1! I was in the net for the first half, saving every shot there was, and then this other guy went in the net in the second half and let one goal in. I scored 3 or 4 goals. I don't know.

We have a stacked team. We have been winning almost every game. Except for two. In those two games, we were versing Team D, and they have a very good team. They have seven people who are like the only people on their team, and they're always on, and all of them are stacked.

Shaka, King of the Zulu

Shaka is the king of the Zulu. That is in Africa, so there is South Africa and then there is one place over the top of South Africa and on top of THAT there is Zululand. If it weren't for Shaka, there would be no Zulu today. Because he created the strongest weapon. A throwing spear. (Assegai.) He created a assegai but it was all metal, so they could use it as a sword. And without that weapon, the Zwide would have taken over Zululand.

And Zwide was huge compared to Zululand. Like three times bigger. And the Zwide declared war on them. And Shaka and the Zulu pwned them. "Shaka! Shaka!"

Shaka made all of his warriors go barefoot, because he thought his sandals slowed him down. And he took his warriors to lots of places with lots of thorns and made them practise jumping around in the thorns. He wanted them to go super fast without any shoes on. He could walk his army fifty miles every day. It would take weeks for any normal army to run fifty miles. If the warriors didn't want to go without sandals, he killed them. That's what they had to do. It's either they got killed or they would be left out. They would probably walk maybe five miles instead of the fifty that everyone else was running, so they would get lost.

After, the English settlers came on a boat. The Zulu came along and found them, and they told them about jails and Shaka got really mad. He thought that they would rather be killed than go to jail and be treated badly. The English settlers were like best friends with the Zulu and Shaka.

His brothers murdered him because when his mother died, he went crazy and made 100 of his warriors guard her grave for one year. And he made everyone stop and he took away people's cattle and the Zulu loved cattle.

The Zulu made their shields out of cows. They used everything about a cow. Once they died and didn't have any use for them, they ate their meat, pulled off their skin and made weapons out of it.

It all happened in about maybe the 1800s.
