Life Sucks

So....I had an awful weekend. At SJU indoor in our fourth game I was cutting upline, the throw floated out of bounds, I tried to greatest, got clipped and hit the ground. I then realized I couldn't move my right wrist. I got ice on it right away so I stopped some swelling, but it hurt really bad. I got a ride to the hospital from Quinn later that night, they took x-rays but said it was too swollen to tell if I fractured anything. They put me in a temporary cast (part of it plaster) and said I had to go back in later in the week to get new x-rays. Soooooo, I have my appointment tomorrow morning and hopefully it's just a really bad sprain and no broken bones. Also, I came down with strep...I know, thanks God. I went into the doctor today and apprently I might have mono also...things keep getting better. I've missed class the past two days and I'm not supposed to go tomorrow either, which is great having 5 classes this semester.

I'm just in a terrible/depressed mood, don't wanna deal with anyone right now. The one thing that keeps me sane is now taken away from me.

Randomness

I'm kinda stealing this idea from Kevin Seiler's blog but I don't think he'll mind too much....

1) As the semester progresses I think more and more about the spring season and how excited I am to play with my St. Thomas boys again. The last college tournament I've played in was Hucktoberfest and I really didn't even play a bunch. I look forward to seeing what we can do this year and already we have had great turn out to running/lifting practices which is very exciting. Side note, I ran 2 miles in 12:30 today, I'm going for 2 miles in 12 minutes though.

2) I'm really getting into the band Sigur Ros, if you're looking for something different to listen to that is pretty chill and just pretty this is the band. They're Icelandic, my favorites as of now are Hoppipolla and Staralfur. The song Staralfur is the ending song for the movie The Life Aquatic. Give em' a try.

3) As I get older (granted I'm only 21) I realize more and more that the real world is creeping up on me, kinda makes me nervous. I'm really debating about quitting drinking, drinking in the sense of going out and getting bombed every weekend. It is just kinda losing its' fun and I'm starting to realize that there are more important things that I could be doing. I have 5 classes this semester and I have to do 40 service hours to graduate, so I'm a busy man and I don't need to waste my time going out and getting wasted. Plus, I have to submit my application to the U of M for next year and think about Law School.

4) This weekend is the St. John's indoor tournament, we are bringing only 11 guys, most of whom will be on the A team come spring, so we shall see how we do. I plan on playing maybe 75% of the points if I can do it. Then the next weekend is the open indoor tournament at the YWCA, and I will be playing with Mr. Seiler's team, which I am very excited to do. I just love playing with new people, getting to know new people and learning from new people. I look forward to it.

5) I've come to the realization that I haven't been as good of a Christian as I could be and should be. I still have a personal relationship with God, but I need to do more.

6) I went home this weekend for awhile and watched my little brother's basketball games, I miss that stuff. I need to go home more and see my family more.

7) Ok you need the sound for this and if you don't think this is funny you don't have a soul...http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8922875251875301807&hl=en

8) For winter league on Friday night we play "Naz's team" but we all know that Jimmy Becky Becky runs the show. He's been talking shit so we'll see if they can run with us.

9) If anyone out there wants to chat about ultimate or whatever my AIM address is dbeq22. And that is a Q not a G, some people get that mixed up. I'm not on all the time but when I'm on I usually like talking about something ultimate with whomever I can.

10) It's funny that club tryouts aren't for another 4 months or so but I find myself talking about them alot with different people. Most all the Moes know that I plan on trying out with Zero and I'm not sure how they all feel about it, if they really care or what not, but I don't want any of them to take it personally. I know it'll be good for me either way and I think they're all good enough friends as to where they'll be happy for me in whatever I do. As for my St. Thomas boys, they all know I'm going for Zero but I don't think any of them think I can make it haha. Which is fine, cause I don't even know if I think I can make it or not, only time will tell.

That's all I've got for now I should post again after this weekend.

take care,

David
