Injury Time

by ienjoyallkindsofthing, posted in Soccer

Injuries are never fun. They cost time, money and comfort. The worst part of an injury however, is the inability to do what it is that you love, and for me that love is sports. Sadly, I messed up my ankle and will be unable play soccer or volleyball for close to a week. There is a bright side to this injury however; the injury could have been much worse. I could be out for months , or even years, but luckily, I will only be out for a couple weeks, so I can’t really complain too much. See the source image

I am very fortunate to not end up like some of my close friends who have lost the ability to play the sports that they love permanently due to injury. Having friends so close who have had dreams crushed make me realize just how lucky I am and make me want to reach my goals even more now, because I don’t know how much longer I will be able to even attempt.See the source image

Jose Mourinho Should Be Sacked

by ienjoyallkindsofthing, posted in Soccer

Manchester United have had their worst start to a season ever. The fingers have mainly been pointed forward The star player Paul Pogba and the manager Jose Mourinho. Their relationship has become salty after Jose publicly criticized Pogba saying he is lazy and should be playing much better than he has. But according to his stats, Pogba has been the most influential player for the team. Jose is starting his third year with the team and yet to do what he was brought to do. Win the premier league.

     Fans have been criticizing Jose Mourinho’s slow and defensive style and want to bring in a new attacking minded manager to bring more excitement to the fans, and hopefully win the team a league title. Managers such as Thomas Tuchel and Zinedine Zidane are the favorites to take the managers spot.

     In many of the fans eyes and my own opinion, Zidane is the clear choice. #MouOUT became a trending hashtag followed by #Zidanein. Zidane would bring an attacking style, and after winning three champions league finals in four years, he is a proven winner, and will have top class players wanting to play for him due to his skill as a manager. Mourinho may have been one of the greatest managers 5 years ago, but his style is outdated and Manchester United need to get rid of him while there is still time to save the season.

Against the Grain of travel

by ienjoyallkindsofthing, posted in Travel

Some people seem to believe that travel is expensive. They seem to stay rooted to their hometown and never explore the world around them. Their eyes are clouded by contemptuousness so the new experiences and places are never seen. New people,  foods, culture, could be experienced but “It’s too expensive”.

The plane ticket, hotels, food, are largely considered to take up most of the budget of traveling, and I agree somewhat, but there are so many reasons against this. So why do people still consider traveling too expensive, even if there are people that can travel on a budget? This is because most people travel wrong. They try to live in luxury and spend all of their money on tours, or by going to places like zoos or amusement parks. this takes up so much of your budget, so instead of doing those things, how about you try the things that people like me, who can travel on a budget do.

However I believe that traveling is not that expensive if you do it right. The expenses of travelling can be cut down astronomically. The first way is instead of buying a hotel room, go for a hostel or an air b&b. These are much cheaper alternatives to hotels, and if traveling in a group, the prices become even lower. Next is the food. If your travelling, fine dining isn’t a necessity.  Ask the locals where their favorite spot to eat is, and visit those places. also, try street vendors, for a cheap tasty treat from a local spot. Plane tickets can be expensive, but if you want to get a cheaper ticket order your tickets early, or even out of season. This can drastically lower the prices of travel.

I know people feel strongly that traveling is expensive, and thus they never experience the joys of meeting new people, trying new foods and cultures. I can try to change their minds but I know that no matter what I do, there will be people that read this and take it with a grain of salt. If they believe this, then I’ll let them be them.

Even so I will always continue to travel and chase these new experiences. I believe that there is always something new and different that you could emerge yourself in. If that be a culture, a new activity/sport or a food that you become obsessed with, there is always something new to do and a new place to go. I love traveling and I hope that as I get older, I can travel more and more. I also hope that the people reading this will take my advice and get out there and experience the rest of the world.
