The Distractions of the Internets

Well, here I am, supposed to be doing core homework (a rant for another time) as well as a modern history research task, on the internet, but failing dismally. It has increasingy become obvious to me that the Internet is where you go if you have nothing to do, as opposed to when you have something you need to do. The "Internet" is full of many distractions, such as MSN, On the Poddy (a shameless piece of viral marketing), Homestar Runner, to name but a few. I have done two lines of work since i started an hour ago. The Internet is completely and utterly useless for research, at least if you have as short an attention span as me.

Wait...blogging is a distraction too!!! (I seriously only just realised that.) So...ahh... parents? Don't listen to kids when they say they're going on the internet to work. IT ISN'T TRUE!!!!!

That is all.

Kudos to Jeremy for telling me to add an 's' to Internet, for added coolness :)

Sydney 1 Central Coast 0

In all fairness, the Mariners played well, but could not combat the awesome might of Sydney. Well taken goal by DEFENDER Iain Fyfe settled the match, plus a couple of fine saves by Clint Bolton. A bit of a disappointing crowd of 19 000, though, but still a good game. The Mariners had chances, but its the goals that count:

'Nuff Said.

Those wacky french exchange people

Well, another belated post. This is in commemoration of the french exchange students that we had at our school. They were there for two weeks, i think, but i was away for one, after being ill for like two weeks, with a virus, plus asthma flarage, plus my diabetes (for all you who don't know, i have type 1 diabetes). But they left on Friday. Anywho, it was fun having them around, as they were all pretty crazy. We had many insane conversations, and had fun making up nonsensical phrases in French to say to them. My French has improved greatly since having them around, but I gotted ripped into a lot with by bad grammammamr. Anywho, if any of you French guys, Estelle, Virginie, Louis, Imed, Pierre-Nicolas, Ludmilla or any of the others who i've forgotten the names of (Je suis tres desolee!!!!) randomly find my blog:
J'espere que vous avez amusé bien en Australie. Vous nous manquez. Et je sais que ma francais et mauvais.
Oh, et Estelle. Je pense que votre grenouille a mangé mon dejeuner.

Salut

A tribute to one of the truly greats

This is a tribute to one of the greatest footballers of all time. The one the only.... DENNIS BERGKAMP!!!!!!!!!!!



He started off as a product of the great Youth Academy of the dutch football club, Ajax Amsterdam. After several prolific seasons there, he moved to Serie A club, Inter Milan. However, he failed to blossom there after two seasons, and so was transferred to London club Arsenal on the 20th of June, 1995 for 7 500 000 pounds. It was here that he started to fulfill his talent. While he never equaled the goal scoring hights of some of his fellows, notably Thierry Henry, he was an integral part of the
Arsenal first team for the duration of his tenure. He has been often labelled not as a great goal scorer, but a scorer of great goals. However, he still scored a respectable 120 goals from 411 games, over the course of11 seasons for the Gunners.
He has 3 Premiership medals, 3 FA cup medals, and was voted FWA footballer of the year, and PFA player of the year. He also won the UEFA cup once eachwith ajax and inter, as well as winning 79 caps for Holland, scoring 37 times. He will be rememberd for a fantastic solo effort against Newcastle in the EPL, where he flicked the ball over the top of a defender, before nonchalantly volleying it with his other foot into the top corner of the net. He will also be remembered for his extreme fear of flying, which lead to his affectionately being labeled as "The Non-flying Dutchman".
His final ever game was at his testimonial at the newly constructed Emirates Stadium, which was graced by names such as Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten, Ian Wright, David Seaman and many others. He retired at the age of 38 , scoring 271 goals in 700 games for club and country, but most importantly, creating at least as many. As Thierry Henry said, "I have always said Dennis Bergkamp will remain the best partner I have ever had. He is a dream for a striker."

He was a dream for a football fan too.
