A Nice Win

Today we beat up on a lesser squad. Fort Cherry isn't as good as us and we did what we should have, we won. We should've won by even more but I won't complain because a win, is a win, is a win. I didn't hit especially well, 1 for 3, but got on base on a strike out so my OBP is up pretty high still. I hate striking out more than most anything in this world. I just straight up hate it, especially a strike out looking. That's worse then swinging.

I promised some people a blog "shout out" which to me is the devil but here goes anyway. First one goes to my boy AC. AC's been playing really well so far this year and I like what's ahead of him. He's one of the most laid back, chill kids I've come to know. He's got a mean stache and he's fun as hell to talk to. And that is that for AC.

Shea gets the next shout out and it's a shout out and wake up call at the same time. I'm not worried about your hitting at all my man because that will take care of itself. Just keep your head up and bust your ass to be perfect in the field.

OD wanted a shout out and here it is. OD has been one of the realest people I have known. We used to be the best of friends back in middle school and have since grown apart which is the sad truth. I'm excited for him to go to Case Western next year and continue his football career because he seems to really like it. But for now if he would keep pounding home runs at baseball I would be a happy camper.

Thank god those shout outs are over, I feel like I was starting to break out in hives.

Almost forgot to mention we went to the zoo today for a senior class trip! I love the zoo. There's something about the animals that just brings out the kid in everyone. It was cool seeing kids gawk and "ohh" and "ahh" at the different exhibits. I enjoyed walking around with my various friends talking and just enjoying a nice day.

I said something earlier today that I feel might have been misconstrued. "I said that the words on this blog are merely words and that in some cases they are unattainable. In some underlying cases that's all they will ever be. Some things are dreams that might not ever be acted on and that if these blogs are the only connection you have to me then you are around for the wrong reasons."

This blog isn't for you to like me. It's for me to express myself. Everything I say is near and dear to me and it's the truth. These ideas and thoughts are merely put down on paper, or in this case in a virtual piece of paper. And when I say they aren't attainable I mean in this present state. Most dreams I have are extremely attainable. Even those that I say aren't attainable in this present state are ones I'd be willing to take a chance on. I'd hate to sell myself short because the words I used didn't come out right. I can and will do whatever it takes to make my dreams a reality...I'll go to any extreme necessary and I'll wait as long as I have to. All I ask is that you don't forget about me. 

My favorite lyric in the NP has to be, "Gave the rest a try now give the best a try." (Okay that's my favorite behind, "First time I got her in my bed she got wetter than the perfect storm that we weathering together.")
