Sweeping Bewtea

I got to see my family today…..always exciting stuff.  I went home to see the high school’s production of Sleeping Beauty.  This is the darker, less Disney-fied version.  It was very cool.  My sister was a fairy and she did a fine job of being mean in her role (as she was supposed to be).  My cousin Joel (who happens to be my sister’s Godfather) was there too and it was good to see him as well.  I got to visit with my family and have Monical’s Pizza, which is also always a plus.  After all of that, I rode home with my mom and dad, which was a pleasant experience.  They asked me how I was doing at school and when I tried to answer with how classes were, they told me they wanted to know how EVERYTHING was going.  That was very encouraging.  They realized that school isn’t the only important thing to me too.  Very exciting.

On another note, which is a pretty big one for me, I talked to my old high school principal about how college was going.  I told him things were well and I was working towards my ultimate goal of being a football coach.  He told me that they were always looking for coaches.  Especially smart ones.  I was very intrigued by that, and I would be lying if I said that didn’t excite all of my being.  He also told me that he could get me free tickets to the state finals games two weeks from now if I wanted them for free.  That was very exciting.  It was also encouraging to know that I might have somewhere I can help a football program out this summer.

OH YEAH…and to go back further in time.  On Saturday, we played the most killer game of football in a while.  We had enough people for 11 on 11 football with a line and everything.  I was really stoked that I’d get to play some line.  That is something I haven’t done for two years.  So we had full contact along the line and touch everywhere else.  I’ll be honest, I wish it were tackle everywhere, but it was still fun.  I really enjoyed the camaraderie we shared while playing.  But I’ve ranted for some time, so it’s off to bed because it’s late and I tire.
