Challenge Cup Dream Fulfilled As The Past Returns

The past week has had high and lows but first the highs and the best place to start is to say 'The 2013 Challenge Cup Winners - Wigan Warriors'. An amazing day from departing at 6.30am to returning home at 11pm during the trip down to London I was mostly waking up and relaxing but as soon as the coach arrived at Wembley, the excitement set in despite the rainfall and I walked around the stadium smiling despite getting drenched at the same time.

The match wasn't a spectacle due to the conditions but that wasn't important, important was sitting/standing there while enjoying the game and losing my voice during the chanting and celebrating at the end, it was a lifelong dream to go to a Wembley final so I was delighted to finally achieve it while also completing a trilogy of trophies following Wigan - Grand Final 2010, League Leaders 2012 and Challenge Cup 2013.

Hopefully another trilogy will be complete in October as this year I have added Wembley to my regular Magic Weekend visit so to go to the Grand Final in the same year as those two would be a first for me.

Liverpool continued the good day on Saturday with a win at Aston Villa to keep up the 100% start to the season and also Skem United claimed a vital draw thanks to a superb volley by 'keeper Zac Hibbert.

Sad news on the Nike+ fuelband progress as on returning from Wembley, I noticed the button had come away and as such had malfunctioned meaning I had to order another which thankfully has arrived today so I was only without for four days but it did feel strange walking around without a fuelband having worn one everyday for near 370 days in total.

Sunday- Tuesday were quiet with me returning to work on Monday and getting back into the swing of things but today has been one hell of a day with me waking up to a friend request on Facebook from the girlfriend of my ex from America (my first relationship), I knew she had turned gay a while ago but was puzzled as to why her partner had added me so I accepted out of curiosity and later in the the day received a long-winded message from the partner accusing me of cheating on  my ex and threatening me with all kinds of violence.

Crazy seeing as to this day, I have and never would cheat in a relationship as I am against it and believe anyone who does such a thing needs their head testing but anyway I replied with proof that the accusation was false and my ex herself replied saying the year we had together was for show and was a complete lie. I found that strange when reading back through all the memories that she could have been lying all that time, I think she said that because she wanted to impress her new partner but either way I don't care anymore.

However, it has made me doubt ever trying for a relationship ever again in case I am lied to or accused of wrongdoing again, people say nice guys finish last well that is true of me for sure as in my seven relationships, I have never raised a hand or cheated and each time have been dumped and accused of such things.

So in summary maybe it is better to be alone and rich than in a relationship with someone who is secretly laughing at you but anyway roll on Friday for my next visit to the DW!
