Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. I had a three day weekend. I know he did a hell of a lot more than get us an extra day of school off, but I'm not here to give you a history lesson. They pay other people to do that. They pay me to entertain you...just kidding this is non-profit. (Only because nobody has made any donations yet.)
Last night I didn't feel very well until after I already said I was not going to baseball. My friends came over for a sleep over and their company made me feel better, if only for the night.
We played NERF the whole night and with the addition of several new guns, a tomahawk, and a plethora of bullets we had a full scale war. You see we don't just have a war, each battle has a theme.The exact themes cannot be said, but I'll just say they have to do with a trip to the Orient, Lupe Fiasco's latest album, a musical man, and a kid who cleaned out his closet. Others who fought in the war include a jealous mother, an upset mother, and star crossed lovers. Basically the five of us have lives....
When we aren't busy playing NERF something else suspect is usually happening. Whether it's fitting three grown men into a queen size bed of even scarier... me having to sleep next to Graz.
Every morning after our sleepovers my dad makes us breakfast and he does a great job. That's the only meal other than chicken noodle soup the man can make. But breakfast is really his thing.
While the sleepover was a great time, eventually my friends did have to leave and from there I went into a comatose state and accomplished nothing. That was until 6 o'clock when I headed up to Jared for some street hockey. We just shot around and cracked jokes and ended up watching a Youtube video of Michelle Therrien. That basically sums up our friendship, we can do anything and have a good time doing it. We have inside jokes out the butt.
I could only stay for a little bit though because I had to go to baseball workouts at the ghetto Clinton warehouse, and if you were wondering yes that is the facility's given name. Workouts weren't too bad even though sometimes i question what some of the exercises have to do with baseball...couch cough prowlers cough cough chair drill. But that is beside the point.
The workouts are neat because I get a kind of Rocky Balboa feel from working out in a freezing cold warehouse. It feels good to get your heart rate up and feel the workout taking it's toll, but I'm not sure I'll be liking it so much tomorrow morning.
This weekend was a good one. I kept busy, even when I wasn't busy having fun I was working and when I wasn't doing either of those I was using my beautiful iPhone.
There are a lot of beautiful things in this world. Technology is a beautiful thing. And so is friendship. And so is showing people you care about them. And so is telling someone they mean something to you. And so is spending time with loved ones. And so is making sure someone knows that they should never settle for less than they deserve. And so is being told it wasn't your fault. And so is spilling your heart to those closest to you. And so is accepting that you have flaws. And so is fighting for something you believe is worth fighting for. And so is telling someone they're beautiful. Beautiful is truly the most beautiful word.
Looking forward to a good week...
