K.C.'s Blog

I watched the recent play of the U.S. men...and they suck. Our women would demolish them in a match! We have some bright spots, but too many glaring weaknesses! Landon might as well have been a back, because the poor guy spent the last game playing more defensive ball than anything. Coach Bradley needs to get this team up to par with the elites of the soccer world. Right now we are a 2nd tier international team. That just doesn't cut it for me.

I never get online, anymore. The economy has really hit the industry I work in. Work has been a roller coaster these past few months. At least I still have a job. Screw the financial crap. Enjoy the holiday everybody!

I wanted to blog about the soccer that I've seen, coached, and been around, but things change in a hurry. Today, I broke down into tears. A terrible accident claimed 4 lives today in this area. At first, details were sketchy. initially, reports were that it involved a school bus from where I coach soccer. That later turned out to be an early assumption by a reporter that was trying to hurry a story. My usual soccer practice was cancelled today. One of the parents didn't know this. She called me and said that her child's bus was late and so he wouldn't make it. I had to act normal while she talked. The whole time, I already knew that there was a local bus accident in her area that had killed some children. I knew of this because Kim works at a place that has those big tri-axle dump trucks visit very often to get stone. She had been told the story by people from the trucking company that ran into the bus just minutes after it happened. The accident happened near France Park (a place just outside Logansport and Royal Center in Indiana). The following news clip is from a television station out of Indianapolis that was reporting on the situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the bus driver, the special needs children from Twin Lakes, and to Mr. Dixon (the truck driver and former police officer that was involved in the accident). May God watch over all of these people.

Woohoo! It's Totally Truthful Thursday!!! There are many variations of this game. As you all should know by now, I do things my way. Every week I'll describe 3 events to you. You must choose whether I decided to be Totally Truthful, Totally Bogus, or Totally Mixed Up. Totally Truthful = all true Totally Bogus = all lies ,Totally Mixed Up = 2 truths+1 lie or 2 lies+1truth You then vote your selection in the poll. Please leave a message as to why you picked the way that you did. I'll be sure to post the answer back in the same blog entry by the next week.

1. Big D is now an assistant soccer coach.
2. My digital music player has nearly 300 songs loaded into it.
3. I play guitar.

It's official...I'm returning fully to the blogging world. It may be a bit before everyone realizes that I'm back. Things were complicated. Expect to see "Totally Truthful Thursday" return each Thursday (sometimes later...lol), as well as my take on soccer, the world, and life in general. I already have this week's game ready to post. For any returning friends reading this, thanks. I'll try to post at least once a week again, like I used to do. So stop by, play the game, and get ready for some more odd facts and lies coming your way about me. I'll be making my rounds to your blogs again, too.
