Hawaii Fallout? Crew VS KC = Crew W! NEW Phone.

Still have not mentioned anything about Hawaii... but we will get to that towards the end of this post. First and foremost:

JUST returned home from Columbus. Eugene couldn't make it to this game, and I couldn't find anyone to go. So even though it was the 10th Anniversary of the stadium (first professional American soccer facility EVER constructed) and there were a ton of events going on before the game, I decided not to go. THEN I read that Mr. Frankie freakin Hejduk was returning. Our Captain did not disappoint. So made the trip, got into the Nordecke during half, and watched the boys in yellow get the first win of the season over a good KC team. Now must mention, Kansas City had two corner kicks directly in front of the Nordecke. I do not know if it was the frustration over this season, the return of Frankie, the 10th Annv, or what.. but we (I must say we, although I did not throw any objects) really let Lopez have it. I saw hot dogs, beer bottles, cups with both beer and soda, streamers, and even a smoke bomb all hail down on the KC player as he tried to set the ball for a corner kick. Ref delayed the game for around five mintues as he consulted with the other officials on how to deal with our behavior and the fact that Lopez was probably scared for his life. On one hand I want to shout HELL YEAH, he will never want to show his face in our house again. On the other, beer bottles, cups, and smoke bombs really do not help our argument that throwing streamers won't lead to the throwing of other items. I really do believe this was a mix between showcasing the frustration of the fans in general added in with newbies in the Nordecke acting like idiots. Hate it or love it, the atmosphere is back.. and I for one, LOVE IT. (..but no beer bottles)

Now to the islands.. I'll have to keep this short. While in Hawaii we..

• Hiked Diamondhead
• Snorkeled at: Hanauma, Waikiki, AND the north shore
• Saw Waimea Falls and swam out to the falls.. very, very cool
• Were able to see the capitol building, and the former King's palace, the only form of monarchy in the history of the US.
• UH
• Dole Pineapple Plantation
• tons more... but I am tired after screaming my head off at game.

New phone.. BlackBerry Curve.. I actually like it for now, we'll see how much I like it after 2-3 bills.
