Chapter 1
(I missed it again!!!
)4 years people!!! 4 friggen years and i've missed it again. How could i not have known that today was the start of the series. Man of man, what was i thinking. Well it really wasn't my fault i missed it this time... stupid freakin studies, honestly, anyone who taking a study, get out while you can
.This is the 4th year in a row i have missed the start of the Ashes series against Australia and England, and this time i wasn't impressed. It's spose to be one of the most talked up things in the cricketing calender, and one day, i wish i could just sit there, having no drama's
: and actually watching the beginning of the Series. Stupid studies, who invented them? Or who even suggested that we had to take these stupid studies to be smart......:onpcWell guys this is me. A 17 year old kid attending University in Melbourne Australia. I must admit it, i'm pretty geeky in school, and today was a bad mistake. My geekiness made me miss out on the start of the Ashes series for the 4th year in a row. My dream as a kid was to go and see a beginning of an Ashes series, but with my parents splitting up when i was 10 wasn't helpful. My dad runned away from our family after things got a little tough, and my mum had this dead end job where she didn't make that much money to support me or my brother. So i had to go live out with my uncle who is a cricket nutter :upray thankgod for that, but even he didn't work, so he had no money to take me to the Ashes. So i was basically stuck on my own. And not working like i am now, and only staying in school to give me something to do, isn't going to help me get to the Ashes either. So what should i do, give up my studies and go out looking for work
. Or be the smart kid in the family and stay in school and just never go to the Ashes ever : NAH!!! That's defiently not an option. I had to go out and do something to get money to i can save to go to these Ashes series in a couple of years time.I live in a little (well it's not really little now, but when i was growing up it was little) town called Bendigo, around 2 hours away from Melbourne, so every 2nd day i have to travel to Melbourne to attend Monash university. It's a massive university, but the other couple of days that i am home, im always on the internet looking up stuff and doing homework and assingments that are due to University. Boring???? Oh i know yes, god yes it is, but hey, that's who i am :cool:
I'm certainly not the fittest kid going around since all i do is sit on the computer and research, but walking around the huge collage grounds gets my weight down ha! So if you think that i'm going to become a sporting superstar, then your wrong!
(Monash university, Melbourne.... i told you it was massive
)Now your probably all thinking, being a Victorian in Australia, that i love Aussie Rules? Well yeah your right
i love watching it of course, but being a young teenager, playing AFL is certainly not the sport for me. I'm only a skinny kid, around 184cm and only 67kg. So facing up against blokes that are around 100kg is certainly something that i'd never attend to do. Aussie Rules is a pretty tough competitive sport which you need muscle and skill to produce good football. (Neither of them i have):banana2.Don't get me wrong, i love watching the game, it's very exciting and entertaining, but playing it, i would get creamed. My uncle suggested to me only just a couple of weeks ago, that i should try out with Cricket. A world game which is very popular between countries.... Well.. maybe his got a point. If Aussie Rules is too rough for someone my size, then maybe Cricket is a game i could give a try at. Plus maybe, i might meet some famous people and they can help me get to the Ashes
im very doubting it, but hey, you can always...................DREAM!!!
, You could do the studies and do a small job at the same time. Looking forward for more of this . KIU
that's all i had to know. That was my modo :P
