today everyone will learn about jonny wilkinson. a rugby player who i admire.
he's the one who everyone thought will go far in rugby. afterall, it was his famous drop kick that gave england the world cup trophy. yesh. it was that close. a mere 3 pts. however, who would have thought that he would suffer a groin injury.
in the beginning the fans were amazing. when i watched england played friendly matches, whenever they showed jonny on the screen, everyone would cheer. though i felt a twinge of pain for Charlie Hodgson, his subsititute. yet, Charlie didn give up and so did jonny. Sooon, people came to accept Charlie because he started playing really well and Jonny jus kept sustaining more injuries.
After 2 1/2 years, my passion for rugby died. He brought me to the game. actually it was at XueQi house that i watched england play. In rugby, i saw team spirit. Of course there will always be people who want to be hero and score tries but its really rare. There will also be instances of violence, aggression. but if i can take wrestling, i think rugby is fine. anyway, back to jonny. i read an article about him. he played in the recent newcastle match. they were down 13-21 before he came on. after substituition, they won 32-21. i really feel for him.
"I went from a neck injury to an arm injury to a knee injury to another knee, then neck, appendix then groin.
There's got to be an end point somewhere; I genuinely believe there will be.
But it's coming up to the end of this season and I just want to have something to remember it by rather than spending most of it in the gym again.
I could never play and not go into tackles and not fly around and do what I want to do. That is rugby to me; in my eyes there is no other way. You give everything you've got or you don't give anything at all."
ok. back to psych. take care everyone. 4 more bloody days. i am freaking scared.
i don't know how to be strong,
when my love has to move on,
i am a song without a soul,
now that she's gone.
What's left of us,
is this song.
