Luis being Luis recently so much as fired me from posting for Sounder Waves. Why would he do such a thing, you ask!? Well I'll tell ya. I dared mention that no one actually reads this thing, and it is merely a public platform for him to ramble on for way to many paragraphs about tactics that not even the players understand, while I am trying to provide something a little less ANALytical, and a little more fun.
It is an epic power struggle that stems back to the age of 5, when Luis violated my turf by moving in across the street from me. He will tell you I stole his toys. I will tell you he stole my baseball cards, in High School. He will tell you I broke his arm, I will tell you he broke his own stupid arm by jumping in to me. He went with prep, purple, and liverpool. I went Blanchet, COUGS, and Chelsea. He did England, I did France, you get the idea.
So I have one request before Luis deletes my posting powers. If you read and don't comment, get your comment on! If you get your comment on, get your comment on again!

Louis - I do read this blog from time to time, and while I appreciate the analysis and enthusiasm, Natedog has a point. This is a FAN blog...let's get the fans pumped up! "Our goal is to provide critical analysis of players/coach" - thats a small market. How about that mixed with posts on the best tailgates, hot sounder babes or top 10 reasons Seattle is a better soccer town than Salt Lake City?
ReplyDeleteNATE GO, WE GO.
Reason - 1 The only reason I read this blog is because Nate sent me the link.
ReplyDeleteReason - 2 I want analytical I will go to ESPN.
Reason - 3 I think Louis owes me $5.
Reason - 4 Does anyone like all work and no play? Come on, even on the major sports sites they have humor articles.
Reason - 5 I know that it was Nate who came up with the Mascot.
Reason - 6 I am hungry.
You're both retarded! but I do have to agree with the point Luis has, but not that he's trying to fire Nate. There's a little section on this page called "What's the Point". I can see it while I write this and it says the goal is to provide critical analysis of the the players, coach, tactics and management. If Nate needs to get away from that....then change the "goal" of this site. Or better yet add another section with a Decepticon logo that corresponds to a section where Nate waxes poetic about whatever his heart desires. He'll be the Bill Simmons of Sounders Wave.
ReplyDeleteWould this blog be living up to its name if Nate and I didn't agree on how frequently he should contribute something?
ReplyDeleteI actually don't care if Nate posts about cheerleaders, scone recipes, or the nectar of the Palouse. I just want him to post more frequently. Nate suggests that until there are at least 5 comments per post, it's not worth his time to put together a thoughtful post. So the solution to this is simple - it's up to you, the readers, to make it worth Nate's time to post.
Nobody is deleting anybody's posting powers. I haven't taken my ball and gone home since 1st grade. Hell, if anybody else wants to post, let me know and you can have at it.
Somewhat large but not as big as you think you are Tex,
ReplyDeleteSounder Waves, and thus Sound Wave, was my creation. However, if you want to know the name of obscure Transformers or GI Joe characters, Nate is your guy.
Nate, it sort of sounds like you're asking for confirmation of whether we like you..."Do you like me? Do you promise??"...well, I promise you, we like you, and we don't want you to go. So post all the scone recipes you want (I've got a great one to share!) and get to blogging. And leave the ANALysis to Luis. He's not very funny anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe format of your blog should be as follows:
ReplyDeleteBefore every game, Luis writes a post about tactical stuff previewing the "match" as it is called in futbol circles (right?).
Before every game, Nate writes about chants, nachos, Chelsea, and other things that are funny and witty about that match.
After each game, Luis does the same and Nate writes about who he got really angry at each time and that does happen each match. Really angry.
Then we live in a perfect world.
By the way, Cristin wrote "ANALysis". Hilarious.
I have Monopoly on my phone. Out of 119 games against 3 difficult computer opponents, I have won 32 times. I am also reading a book called "History of the World". I just now got up to the Cold War, which is quite a bit more interesting and nuanced than I had suspected. Whenever I go downstairs to smoke, or to the bathroom (which is very far away), I make sure to either bring my book or open up Monopoly. I just can't stand being idle. I hate Thimble though. Thimble moves the slowest and is always making unreasonable deals with the other players. And then racecar always falls for it. Like, oh sure, I'll give you Marvin Gardens and Ventnor Ave for Electric Company. Oops! Monopoly! Guess you didn't notice that, did you, Thimble? Idiot. My point is that it wasn't Luis who came up with the blog's name, it was me. I have an email string that proves it.
ReplyDeleteTrue - you did come up with the name - my bad. I always chose the artillery piece in Monopoly. Am I ever right?
ReplyDeleteVIVA LA DOMINATE!!!!
ReplyDeleteokay so i haven't posted because i am lame (as dominate will agree with for eternity), but waking up at 6:30am on a saturday has finally allowed me to catch up on the blog...anything involving soccer, especially the sounders, wouldn't be the same without my brother and luis disagreeing if only to disagree (thanks luis) and eventually ending with my brother leaving in a huff. it's inevitable, so there should at least be somewhere where we peons can go to be entertained by captain hilts and dominate's endless ANALysis and pouting.
ReplyDeleteWow you are grumpy in the morning. Next time, drink some coffee and have a muffin before you comment. That was bunkilicious.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog!
