that loss hurt.

well.. whatta game.
USA drew 1-1 with ghana, and it went into extra time.
Ghana came back with a goal.
USA didn't.
Ghana cheated.
USA didn't. So now..
USA is knocked out and cried at the end of the match, and, not gonna lie, so did I.

I no longer care for the world cup.
They deserved to win and go all the way through.
Truly fantastic players.

TEAM USA!

So it's half time in the USA v Ghana football match.

and I AM GOING TO HIT SOMEONE.

Now, I commend Ghana for their impressive footwork, but tripping over Donovan on a regular basis, falling over and rolling around on the grass blaming an American player and getting them a yellow card and just generally playing aggressively

IS
NOT
HOW
YOU
PLAY
THE
GAME.

1-0 to Ghana.
I don't think I can watch the rest of the match.

I could really use a wish right now.

OMGAAAAD HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE MY LAST POST! THAT'S UNREAL.

okay so basically, I've had absolutely NO TIME WHATSOEVER to post a bloggityblog :\ I'm awfully sorry.

But here's the lowdowwwwwn for yaaall

I've got twitter (twitter.com/charlieekate) and I tweet WAAAAAAAY too much, so be warned. But follow people :D!

I bought myself an iPhone and a new laptop :) saving really is worth it :)

I've started driving lessons and, if I do say so myself, I am AMAZING. so watch out ;)

I'm also getting on top of my life, and for the first time in a long time, if not ever, I feel totally in control. I mean it's got to the point where everything I do each day, every decision I make, where I go and the paths I decide to take and the efforts I make or don't make matter. And that's kinda scary. But tbh it's become clearer each day that you are the only person in control of your life and you decide which life it is you lead - if you want to succeed you have to make the right choices and work hard and fight for everything you want with all your heart and soul because nobody is going to give it to you.

Most importantly, I've gained a completely new perspective.
Recently I've lost some people very dear to me, and it's a shame because they were the people I thought would always be there. But times change, and I've moved away from all that and I've realised that big things are coming. I've met new people, I'm doing new things, and I feel really liberated, like my life's only just beginning. And it is. I have one more year left of high school and then I'm off to uni. And I cannot wait.

Finally,

I'm in love with Travis Garland. And if you don't know who he is, shame be on you and let me educate you.
This is an amazing song. Really inspirational. I've had it on repeat on my iPod for at least 3 weeks straight. A lotta loveee for this.



And a lotta love for yaaa'll :)
