Wow, what a world of difference a couple of hours of sleep makes. I think I slept 3 hours, and feel sooo much better. People are way less irritating than they were.
The marathon's going fairly well. I think the scores are in the 160's now. Most people seems like they have een having a good time, and all the organizers are looking forward to the wrap party at Ceili's now. The wrap party is going to be a gong show. It always is, and no wonder when 10 people who have had an average of 3 hours of sleep in the past 30 hours congregate and decide to get their drink on.

Marathon Update 7
Wow, super super super tired. Just played from 3am till 6am. My legs hurt!!! I did however have the pleasure of getting a Tim horton's breakfast sandwich. It was fairly delicious. All I can think about right now is how bad I need to shower and sleep. Imay make a play for doing both those things right now, or at least in the next half hour. It is 7:30 am and I have officially been here and awake....
2Pm till midnight is 10
midnight till 7am is 7
17 and a half hours. That's a double shift, I prob get two hours sleep, and be back at it right again.
Fun fun fun!!!

Marathon Update 6
Eyes are getting sleepy!!!
Almost time to play though. That's kind of exciting. The effing room I'm in is a little pressure cooker. So bloody hot! It's aking me much more grumpy than I need to be.
Jake hurry up and show up with a little nicotine treat!!
Phag

Marathon Update #5
It's official, I'm at the stage where I start to get annoyed with other people. It's also the point in the evening where it becomes almost exclusively soccer marathon people at the soccer center.
It gets a bit quieter, as there is only the odd other practice in the facility. Soo, it will be dead quiet other than the occasinal outburst from our little field.
That is, until the 3am game. We're loud and obnoxious! And then, the dreaded morning.
Nobody will have slept, we all will be getting ridiculously tired, and then, at the worst possible point, thousands of little kids will pile in to the soccer centre for their morning games. The little kids aren't the worst part. It's the ridiculous amount of family and friends that come out to watch.
Hold on. It's beer time.
Unfortunately it's gonna have to be with Carlos. On the other hand, I do get to have one with Rick Antl. Kind of cancels out....

Soccer Marathon Update 4
Just after 9pm,
Mads is once again disrobing in front of me. He just finished another game. They won 3-2. Woohoo for ballistic.
Makes up for losing the first one I guess.
Oh, quick update on the 7pm - 8pm game, Teri Scored! Beginners luck no doubt.
Oh ya, by the way, sitting in a 10 by 20 room licks nuts.
Antl just showed up. Bastard didn't bring any beer though. Slacker... Last year he showed up with a cube of pilsner, this year, nothing....
You just can't get good help these days.

Soccer Marathon update 3.
Mads just changed for the third time. I think he's played two actual games and spent the rest of the day up at the front registration desk. Funny thing is, both times he put on different uniforms. Ladies, beware me thinks there's a two timer amongst us.
Soccer Marathon Update 2
7:30pm, Mark's here now.
There's a pretty funny game going on down on the field. A bunch of the grab life by the balls dodgeball team is playing what appears to be their introductory game of soccer. They're actually playing against a bunch of people that play soccer. (I'm pretty sure it's Mike's sister's soccer team) So considreing, they're doing pretty well.
Last I checked, the score was 22-22 and Bosch was making up games to amuse himself. I bet by 11:00pm the boy has gone insane.

30 Hour Soccer Marathon Begins
So, it begins.
Our months of preparation have come to an end, and the event has begun.
Our annual soccer marathon, to support the fight against cancer has just kicked off.
This years theme;
Got Balls? Play Soccer! It's kind of a spin on the kick cancer slogan we have had for the past two years, and will get much more funny once we manage to strike the S at the end of "got balls" off of Mike's T-Shirt.
The Event is off, it's 4:00 pm. Nothing to report
