Day 56
First session of the week as finally the weather gets better. Was assessed for my session so hopefully be told soon how my session went (fingers crossed). Was still feeling a bit ill so chilled for the rest of the day and had a film night watching MIB and Taken.
Day 57
Was put on MSO Kickers in South Orange but again session was cancelled due to the crappy weather we've been having. As i had the rest of the day off i decided to take another trip into NYC. Took my first trip to the Bronx to visit the Bronx Zoo and spent most of my day there (pics on Facebook). Got back to Penn Station in NYC and decided i didnt wanna leave the city just yet so went to a bar called Locals, which is situated opposite Madison Square Garden. Had a few drinks there then took a walk round Manhattan looking for somewhere to eat. Ended up at a greek gyro resaurant (kebab shop), that funnily enough was run by a bunch of mexicans. Had a dodgy Gyro which i had a feeling was not gonna agree with me in the morning....
Day 58
Was on a birthday party at the Dome in the morning. Had to shoot from the party straight to my game in Tenafly. Only had one of my teams playing as Livingston had cancelled their game due to it being mothers day in the USA. 2-1 down at half time with Tenafly, i decided to make some player changes and formation changes, which made the difference as we ended up winning the game 3-2 (braaaaaaaaaap). Think i'll put in an application for the Newcastle job soon. Had an early night when i got home as still not fully recovered from when i was ill.
Day 59
Took the day off work as i was at my worse today. Was in bed all day suffering from an earache, headache, throat ache and a high temperature.
Day 60
10-12 meeting at the Dome. Wasnt feeling completly better but didnt wanna take another sick day off. Was training Livingston today and then was on the goalkeeping academy for Livingston. Another film night in the house watching I-Robot.
Day 61
Staff meeting again, which a lot of people are getting annoyed with as a lot of the meetings are pointless. Was on Cougar U11 tryous and saw a lot of crap footballers to put it bluntly. Early night as still not feeling well.
Day 62
Staff meeting discussing summer camps and giving us all the info about how it works and what well be doing. Had a session with my Tenafly boys. Important session as our game on sunday is against joint top leaders with us. Our opponents on sunday Lyndhurst are the one team ive lost to all season so revenge is on the cards.

Day 47 - Day 55
Day 47
Had my first lie in for ages. Up at 11 and spent most of my day writing session plans and watching TV. Only had one hour of work today, but pretty much boring day.
Day 48
WORK
Day 49
Had a session in the pouring rain which aint the greatest but with sessions being cancelled all the time cos of this dodgy weather i had to keep this session on. Went out to the local cinema in the South Orange after work to watch Wolverine. Wasn't as good as I'd expected but was made enjoyable by the crowd. If you ever get a chance go watch a film in an american cinema. The crowd are the funniest thing in the world cos they get really involved in the film and say and do some of the most stupidist things.
Day 50
Only had work from 9am-11am so used my saturday to take my first trip into NYC to do some sightseing. Spent a good 7/8 hours in the city visiting Ground zero, Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central, Rockefeller Centre, City Hall, Times Square and Madison Square Garden. I'd say my favourite part of the day was going to the observation deck in the Rockefeller Centre and looking over Manhattan at night.
Day 51
Had both my teams playing today. Livingston won 4-2 and Tenafly won 2-0 beating top of the league. That now puts both my teams top of there league. (unlike Newcastle as ive been told).
Day 52
Day off due to weather (did absolutely didly swat though)
Day 53
Went to the Great Swamp of New Jersey for a Wildlife Conservation tour of the swamp as the company is joining the trust to help promote it. It was probably one of the most boring days of my life. I'd rather watch West Ham on TV then go to the swamp and thats saying a lot. Another day off due to weather (i know what your thinking, do i ever work)
Day 54
Was on Montclair tryouts which is one of there biggest tryouts as its where a lot of the good players and teams are based. Standard of players was good so found it difficult rankings the players.
Day 55
Session cancelled (again) so it being a Thursday we all started our drinking games nice and early. All nine of us in the house were out tonight so headed down to our local bar Cryans (http://www.myspace.com/cryanssouthorange). Good night out, plenty of drinking and dancing and was good to have all the boys out together as were always missing one or two due to them working. Came home after it closed though with a splitting headache (as you do).

Day 41 - 46
Day 41
Staff game was set up for 10am. The two teams were picked the day before and a senior member of staff was in charge of each team. The two teams were named InterMelons & Wellhung Utd. I was chosen to play for Wellhung Utd (of course). We won 2-0 with me scoring the second with a well placed header (GET IN). Straight of to my Tenafly session after and back home for a night of drinking. We played two great drinking games where i was given the nickname Zeus due to my godly drinking skills.
Day 42
2pm meeting at Dome. I had to cover a session for someone on Summit Academy which was my only work for the day. Had dinner at the diner, came home watched Resident Evil and had an early night.
Day 43
Kiddie Soccer :( in Parsipanny with 4 year olds. 3o degrees today and supposed to be getting hotter. Went and got my laptop finally and messed about on it all day. I'll hopefully keep my blog up to date now (NOT).
Day 44
Both my teams had games today. Tenafly won 7-0 but would have been more if it wasn't for the stupid mercy rule. Mercy rule is you can only win by 7 goals so when i got to seven goals i had to play keep away and was not allowed to score. Livingston drew 0-0 which meant they still hold a 100% record. Got home from games and a few of us took a trip down to Hooters to watch WWE Backlash.
Day 45 - 46
