Things are Looking up!

Last week was a pretty bad week for me. I just had a whole lot of homework, and wasn't able to hangout with my friends as much as I wanted. Michigan lost, and so did the lions. And if that wasn't bad enough I wasn't able to talk to Jana over the weekend! The worst part about not talking to Jana all weekend was the fact that we could have twice!! It just seemed like nothing was going my way! Well its funny how your week can totally turn around! My classes have been easy and yet entertaining enough for it not to borderline torture, youth group was fun, my sister is coming home tonight, and I was able to talk to Jana the past few nights! This weekend we have fall retreat which should be a blast! I'm liking the way things are looking for the next week!

"Dee" Hart is gonna beating at Michigan!

Michigan has recently secured a commitment from one of the top running backs in the class of 2011! Demetrius Hart is from Orlando Florida and he plays for one of the top schools in the country in Dr. Phillips! "Dee" Hart is 5-8, 190 lbs and he's extremely quick, he's also the top ranked all around back. Hart is a special talent and has been on commitment watch for over a year now! With Hart and Denard in the backfield together it should be a deadly duo! This also opens the door for Michigan to snag some recruits from Dr Phillips in the next coming years which should prove helpful!

It has been way too long!

Tomorrow the lifeguards are going to have another pickup football game against the youngish old guys from the church! I've been waiting for this day since the last game we had which was in early may! I've gotten a whole lot stronger since then and I want to start dominating people again! After the duct tape game that was in my previous post, I have been hungry to just go ape on people!

Another thing is that after this game with guys bigger than me or about the same we have Fall retreat in which we almost always have a football game! Last year in that game which was just lifeguard on lifeguard I just dominated! No one could even slow me down besides for Kevin (a youth leader) and it was amazing to play my sport once again! I'm so pumped for these next few weeks it's hard to contain myself!

Unlike the duct tape game it's better if I just go crazy and go all out! Football is meant to be physical and that's where I excel at!

RIP shirts *sniff*

Yesterday at Lifeguards we played a really fun game! We are split into 2 teams, then everyone gets a piece of duct tape and puts it on their back. One team puts on the duct tape vertically and the other team puts it on horizontally. The object of the game is for you to take the tape off of the opponents back while still keeping your tape on your back. Once you lose your tape you're out of the game. I personally really love this game because by the end of the game it turns into a brawl which is the way I like it!

So the first game I got 2 people out but then Chad came behind me and ripped the tape off of my shirt! I was pretty peeved that I got out so early because I'm really good at this game and I got blindsided! While I was watching the game go on and planning how I was going to survive the whole next game but at the same time still be a force on the game!

The new game starts and we have a great game plan! Our 4 best players gathered together and decided that we were going to have me in the front line and the other 3 were going to be in the middle of "our" side of the room. My job was to basically grab the best players as they came close to me and throw them to 3 of our best players. While they were maiming the guy I threw to them, I would prevent anyone from attacking them because normally they'd be extremely vulnerable!

Sometimes while they were attacking someone our other teammates were defending our "lions" which gave me an opportunity to attack solo! My first target was Alex who is probably the only guy who's bigger than me at lifeguards. We were going at it when I saw a glimpse of his tape! I instantly snatched at it with my hand! I got it.....and some of his shirt! I unknowingly grabbed a chunk of his shirt along with the tape and just tore it off! He was kinda mad about it so he jumped at me and my instant reaction was not to get crushed so I pushed me away from me! Unfortunately since he was in mid air he fell back on the floor HARD! He was alright but I still felt pretty bad.

After getting Alex out I went back to my duties to defend 3 of our best players maiming other players! Chad decided to try to defend his teammate by trying to bull rush through our line and at least free his teammate being mangled! I saw him running by and I also see his tape so as he's running I make a grab at it and *riiiiippppppp!* Once again I had ripped a shirt! Only this one was way worse! I basically ripped Chad's shirt in half! He was kinda mad too because he got that shirt on a missions trip! I was also getting kinda tired of ripping shirts too!

After Chad I decided to attack my sister because she proved to be a sneaky one in the last game. I made a weak attempt to get her out of the game because I didn't want to rip her jacket.....*riiiiippppp!* too late. I ripped a hole in my sisters jacket, it was old so she wasn't mad at me.

After all of this I decided not to attack girls for the rest of the game, surprise surprise! I ended up ripping Andrew's hoodie a little bit too! It was in the armpit and it wasn't too bad so it's all good! We ended up winning by quite a large margin! After I ripped 3 shirts everyone kept a radius around me so it was easier to defend my buddies! I was attacking a freshman named Ricky and his shirt looked just like Alex's shirt, so I thought for sure I was going to end up ripping his shirt too! Fortunately I didn't rip a 5th shirt!

I loved that game! And for the record Alex actually hung up his ripped shirt in the portable! After he cooled off a bit he actually was proud of it! Which is good because I felt bad for all of the shirts and jackets I destroyed that day! Overall very fun game and very interesting results!

+1 For Jedi Mind Trick!

Yesterday I was hanging out with Andrew and he's been debating recently whether to ask one of his friends Chelsea, to homecoming but homecoming is only a week away! So he was running out of time fast! I used my Jedi mind trick of manipulation to get him to think about the positives and the negatives of asking her to go. He soon realised that the positives out weighed the negatives by a wide margin! He was about to text one of her friends to find out if Chelsea was going with anybody, when he was like "Whoa, how did you do that?? I was just on the fence about this like 15 minutes ago!" I used my powers for good! Well after about a half hour he gets a text from Chelsea's friend saying that Chelsea wasn't planning on going to homecoming. I instantly felt really bad because everything pointed to her going to the dance! So Andrew asked her why but the reason was because she didn't have anyone to go with! It was perfect!

Andrew even came up with an "out of the ordinary" way to ask her to homecoming too! He made a sign and put it on her porch then texted her to go to the porch! I have taught my young apprentice well.....

Curse You Pop Nazi!

Today my family and I went to Pizza Hut for lunch! All was going well until the waitress told me that I only could have one refill! I haven't been cut off from my pop in years! We tried everything to come up with a loop hole! We tried having my mom use her refill on me but the lady just topped off her half empty cup! I now know that she is definitely a pop Nazi! She cut me off of my supply of pop and then prevented any loop holes!! I take this pretty personal with pop being one of my true loves in life! The food was good, but I wish I had more POP!!!

Who's the lucky one here??

While talking to Jana last night I found out that they don't have white castles in Nebraska! Now she was really disappointed that they didn't have white castles for a while, until I told her how horrible they are! Now I have to wonder, Who's the lucky one here? I'm thinking that not hearing of white castle is a pretty good thing! The only person that I know who actually likes white castle is my dad!
