hidetoshi nakata is leaving his soccer career. it's japan's loss though. i always thought he was a great player. just that there seemed to be some problem with teamwork coordination that's all.

anyway he's older than me by about ten years. and good looking too. i figured if i could master the japanese language well.. there's a possibility that we could be together. okay. just kidding.

i guess after a ten year long career in the sports arena, it's time to take a break.

it's really trying sometimes, when the sport that you have a passion for actually stretches you to your limits to deny you every bit of self-worth you thought you had. and you wonder where that passion goes. but i guess in the end it makes you a stronger person.

goodbye nakata... have a good life ahead!
