itz amazing how stupid u can b when u wan smth bad enuff...take me..tinking i cld hav happiness 4 longer den a min...hu was i kidding?myself.i was kidding myself.coz when all of dis happiness stuff began..i truly believed i cld hold on 2 it...long term.bt anithg long term is juz nt built in2 my life plan.aft all ttz happened..a couple of truths hav bcum abundantly clear...trust is a liability i can no longer afford..nt now..nt eva.trust..period..is bcuming a liability.

life is a solitary mission...an absurd..random search w/o mning..1 tt each person ultimately undertakes alone...looking @ it any other way is juz lyk buying in2 an illusion meant 2 make u feel safe when u're nt...so i m changing my goals n philosophies 2 reflect my actual life..nt my fantasy life...i wun hav 2 b careful wad i wish 4 animore..coz e time 4 wishing is over.

i wonder if tears make u feel human..coz if it does..den i've nv felt more so b4 as e missed penalty played over n over again..haunting my dreams...

England tumbled out of Euro 2004 aft a 6-5 penalty shoot out defeat in lisbon...e winning spot kick came frm goalkeeper ricardo aft crucial misses frm 1st beckham den vassell...it was a nerve shredding end 2 a controversial nite in dis quarter final...campbell appeared 2 hav given England victory rite on time when he powered in a header aft his initial effort frm a beckham free kick had cum back off e bar...howeva referee meier ruled out e central defender's effort apparently 4 pushing...instead e match went in2 extra-time aft subst postiga cancelled out owen's opener wif 7 mins remaining when he headed home a cross frm simao...rui costa gave Portugal e lead in e 110th min only 4 lampard 2 grab e equalizer 5mins ltr...England lost deir way 4 long spells aft losing rooney in e 27th min..it was left 4 owen 2 take up e baton up front n he did juz tt..owen nt only made e breakthrough aft 3 minus wif a clinical finish bt worked tirelessly 4 e cause..he latched on2 a mistake by andrade 2 loop a shot over stranded goalkeeper ricardo..owen almoz made it 2-0 aft beckham saw his chip deflected on2 e roof of e net..he made space in e area only 2 c his shot go narrowly over e top...

England V Switzerland: 3-0

rooney became e youngest player eva 2 score in a European Championships finals as England beat Switzerland 3-0 in e sweltering heat of Coimbra...e Swiss started more brightly though wif several hakan yakin set-pieces causing sum discomfort in e England ranks..frm 1 of which gerrard nearly flicked a header in2 his own net...apart frm a couple of a.cole runs down e left..England made little headway in e opening 20 mins wif e strikers having barely a touch...bt in e 23rd min England went ahead wif deir 1st decent move of e match..celestini lost e ball in e middle of e park..gerrard surged 4ward purposely b4 knocking a pass bac 2 becks..e England skipper picked out owen wif a beautiful pass n he paused b4 dinking a short cross 4 rooney 2 thump a close-range header past stiel...in e 2nd half..England's task was made much ezier when west brom full back haas was sent off f4 a 2nd yellow card wif 30 mins left...in e min..subst vassell did xcellently 2 win possession n find rooney hu blasted a shot against e near post..e ball den bouncing off 'keeper stiel's back n in2 e goal...gerrard ended e contest when g.neville squared e ball n e liverpool midfielder beat stiel @ e near post frm 10 yards...
England though were far frm convincing n it was oni when Switzerland were reduced 2 10 men 4 e laz 30 mins tt dey looked comfortable as gerrard wrapped e game up...eriksson did spring 1 surprise in tt..unlike e swiss..he opted nt 2 play a diamond 4mation n e players spread out in a traditional 4-4-2 line-up...

Croatiz V France: 2-2

e script looked 2 b gg 2 plan when France took e lead in e 1st half thru a tudor own goal aft a zidane free kick...howeva e croats launched a furious onslaught @ e start of e 2nd period when rapaic converted a penalty b4 prso made it 2-1 wif a fine finish..al in e space of 4 mins...bt trezeguet spared french blushes when he equalized aft poor defending by tudor..although e striker appeared 2 use his hand 2 control e ball...
e draw leaves France wif oni a pt earned..preventing dem frm qualifying 4 e laz 8 wif a game 2 spare...England stands @ 2nd place aft a 3-0 win against Switzerland...

Greece V Spain: 1-1

Greece followed up deir opening day victory over Portugal wif a hard fought 1-1 draw against Grp A rivals Spain...Spain dominated long spells n played sum enterprising football..particularly thru subst joaquin down e right..bt failed 2 build on morientes' 1st half goal in e 28th min...wif e greeks struggling 2 contain e spanish skill..dey were cut open on 28 mins when morientes ans his critics wif a fine goal..raul's backheel presented e Monaco man wif e opportunity..bt morientes stil produced a neat side step b4 drilling e ball past nikopolidis...e underdogs fought 4 evrythg n conceded a string of bkings..bt in an increasingly fractious match earned a pt wif a surprise equalizer frm striker charisteas..in the 66th min when tsiartas' ball found charisteas on e left of e box n e striker raced in2 e area 2 hit a rising shot which deflected off casillas high in2 e net...

Switzerland V Croatia: 0-0

10-man Switzerland battled 2 a goalless draw wif a disappointing Croatia side in an ugly opening Euro 2004 grp B clash...a game devoid of flowing football was littered wif stoppages as Portuguese referee batista produced 9 yellow cards..2 of which meant a sending off 4 swiss midfielder vogel...

England V France: 1-2

England suffered a calamitous start 2 deir Euro 2004 quest as zidane conjured a stunning 2-goal laz gasp comeback tt left eriksson's side paying e price of becks' penalty miss...eriksson's side had battled so hard 2 put demselves on e brink of victory..wif lampard having headed dem in2 e lead 6 mins b4 e break...bt wif former man utd player barthez watching over goal 4 the french..becks..n ex-man-utd player himself..stepped up 2 take e penalty...wad a mistake.barthez..having save countless shots frm becks during dose training days @ old trafford..knew juz wad 2 do.even wif owen replaced earlier..cudden sum1 barthez was less familiar wif - lyk gerrard or lampard - hav taken tt penalty?BUT NO...up stepped beckham.was he trying 2 b a hero in frnt of al of england..juz as he converted successfully against Argentina 2 yrs ago?well..it was nt 2 b...barthez..reading becks lyk an old bk..dived e rite way...rooney + owen juz had 2 b replaced by heskey n hargreaves..didnt it?an obviously bad decision.as it turned out..heskey was told 2 use his physical presence...NOT IN THE FRENCH DEFENSIVE AREA BUT IN ENGLAND'S!damn him...he juz had 2 foul makelele in e 91st min 2 giv dem a penalty..didnt he?n gerrard juz had 2 pass e ball bac 2 'keeper james..rite?n e fucking ball fell rite in2 e path of henry!speak abt snatching disastrous defeat frm e jaws of victory.

"You can be a hero for 89 minutes, and all of a sudden, you've made an error and the game's over."

how absolutely brilliant..england is @ e bottom of grp B wif 0 pts...fine..i'll stop..in case i send another bottle flying.

Portugal V Greece: 2-1

Portugal looked rattled frm e 1st min 2 e last against a Greek side tt was inventive..concise..and predatory...all words tt cld nt apply 2 e host nation hu were all fingers n thumbs @ e Estadio do Dragao..plus a tight defense tt figo n co. had trouble getting past...karagounis gave greece e lead wif 6 mins on e clock when he took advantage of hesitant defending..shooting frm 25m..putting a right footed shot juz inside e right hand post of ricardo...n e clincher-a penalty frm basinas..came early in e second period aft another self inflicted blow..a foul by subst ronaldo on seitaridis...ronaldo..hu nonetheless looked his side's most dangerous player..made partial amends wif a headed goal frm figo's corner deep into injury time @ e 93rd min..bt dere was nt enuff time left 4 e hosts 2 complete e salvage job...

Spain V Russia: 1-0

many thousands of spanish fans had flooded across e border..juz 50 miles away..2 outnumber e russians 2 to 1 in dis impressive new stadium..whr frm e very top u cld c e Algarve coastline glinting in e sun...it took Spain more sweat n toil than dey had anticipated bt saez's side gt off 2 e start 2 e Euro 2004 finals dey had dreamed of...e decider came wif subst valeron's 1st touch aft saez had made drastic changes on e hour 2 haul off star men morientes n baraja...e changes wked a treat wif Spain taking e lead a min ltr thru valeron..hu had been pushed in2 a attacking midfield role leaving raul on his own up front...e goal came when puyol surged 2 e line n pulled e ball bac 4 e deportivo star 2 take control..create space n fire e ball past ovchinnikov...bt injury ravaged Russia defended bravely n created a few dangerous moments of deir own...in e end though it was class n skill tt won e day rather than a side prepared 2 notch up e bookings trying 2 stay in e chase...

i've always had a special place in my heart 4 rodents..i was obsessed wif hamsters n gerbils when i was a kid...i tink evry1 figured i'd grow out of it..bt it hasnt happened yet...

e fact of e matter is..i realize juz how close i felt 2 all dose poor hamsters n gerbils i'd mercilessly forced in2 pethood...coz when u boil it down 2 itz essential elements..our lives r rilli xactly e same...living in e same ignorant hell...c..tt poor little thg tinks he's free..he figures,hey..i've gt free will..i can go whereva e hell i wan..i can b wadeva i wanna b..i'm juz gonna climb rite in2 dis metal wheel here n head 4 e hills...20mins ltr..tt ignorant ball of fluff is sweating his ass off..panting lyk an alaskan husky on a new york summer day...he figures he muz b @ least a mile farther in his life..mabbe even 2...den he takes a look ard n he sees e truth...he's rite dere in e xact same little piece of shit wheel..in e same xact little piece of shit box...free will?wad a freaking joke...sure..he's gt e will...itz e free pt ttz e prob...c..coz he's in a goddamn box..a big glass box...n sure..he can c e rest of e world..he can imagine being pt of e rest of e world...bt a few steps 4ward n reality smacks him in his innocent little black-eyed face...
