This is a few hours early, but whatever

Posted on by Scarface

I really hate spending a lot of money at once, you know? You just save up forever and you spend a ton of it in just a few hours. Doesn’t that bother anyone else? I know that I’m gonna like what I’m buying and it’s worth it, but it’s just so much money.

Anyway, I bought a whole new set of golf clubs today, and a separate kick-butt putter, it’s sick. Now I’ll be the first to tell you, that is not a cheap sport. I love it though, it’s just so relaxing. But all those new clubs cost hundreds of dollars that I had saved up, they cost so much. You know what though, I definitely think it was a good purchase. Know why? It’s because they’re something that I’m going to use and use and something I’m really going to be able to enjoy for a long time. It’s definitely best to buy something that’s going to give you satisfaction for a longer period of time, then they just pay for themselves.

Well I gotta get to practicin’ with my new putter and gettin’ my game on, so I’ll catch y’all later.

What?

I have two different baseball practices today so I’ll be brief.

You know what I hate about when you follow crowds? I was hitting with a metal bat, and everyone else on the team was hitting with wood, which is better for telling you if you’re swinging good. So it annoyed the heck out of me and I ordered a fresh new wood, which I do love. But the first day I went to preseason practice (today), everyone switched to metal because coach was there…

Following the crowd is soooooooo stupid………..

We’re talkin’ about playoffs?!?!

Posted on by Scarface

Wow. You know what I hate the most about the NFL? Overtime. The first team to score wins, and the first team to get the ball is decided on a COIN FLIP!!! The Chargers and Colts playoff game just went into overtime, and the Chargers got the ball first. They drove the ball down the field and won the game, all the while the MVP of the league, Peyton Manning (the Colts’ quarterback), watched from the sidelines with nothing to possibly do to stop them. And you’re telling me that’s fair?

College is fair, where each team gets the ball and a chance to score. The game isn’t decided on a 50-50 coin toss.

Can I get an amen?

Well, Merry Christmas Scarface! I decided to sub in for you today, so I’ll continue on a point you made last week. I made a comment on his blog saying the Broncos were going to be crushed by the Chargers, and, well, exactly that happened. The Broncos were up by THREE GAMES, and only had to win ONE to make it to the playoffs, but they blew it. The Chargers on the other hand, had to WIN three in a row, and did just that. On a sad note though, the Chiefs did not make it to the playoffs despite my hopes that the other teams in the division would cease to exist. Oh well, always next year!

I honestly have some of the best bad luck sometimes…

So it’s my birthday in a few days, and my dad bought some tickets to an NFL game for me and him and my grandpa and my big bro. I get to take a big crew somewhere fun every year as my birthday present, everyone just uses me as an excuse to go fun places and not get me a real b-day present.

Since we spend X-mas in So. Cal. every year, my dad bought tickets to the Broncos vs. Chargers game, which as you probably don’t know is a HEATED rivalry game. Just a few weeks ago it looked as if the game would mean nothing, the Broncos were up 2 games with 3 to go. All that needed to happen was for the Broncos to win one out of two, or the Chargers to lose out of two, and the Broncos would clinch. By a few crazy occurences that make me too angry to write about, the Chargers pulled off two very close games and the Donkos fell twice.

You’re probably lost, or you probably stopped reading this already, so I’m probably just talking to myself; but what this means is that the Broncos are 8-7, and the Chargers are 7-8 with the tie breaker. So the Broncos and the Chargers face off this Sunday, and whoever wins earns a playoff spot and will host a game to Indianapolis. This is what they call a “play-in” game, which means you have to play to get into the playoffs. This is just like a playoff game because the loser has to pack their bags and head home ’til next season.

To show you the importance of the game, the NFL pushed it from its regular time to the night game, which means it will be nationally televised, and I’m gonna be there!!! The adrenaline throughout Qualcom is gonna be absolutely NUTS, and the tickets are worth about 5 times as much as they were when we got them because of the importance of the game. This is one of the biggest games in either team’s recent history, and I hope my team wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What up?

One of the stupidest thing I can think of in sports is the way college football has their postseason… wow it’s bad.

So after the season ends, experts decide who are the best teams and who deserves to have the chance to play in the featured games. It is stupid as heck. With only an 11 or so game season, it is IMPOSSIBLE to tell which teams are the very best. So a team that could be the best team in the country, just by voting, not even get a chance to play for the national championship, it just makes no sense. The teams don’t even have even schedules, a 2 loss team in a very tough division could be much much much better than an undefeated team from a weak division. Doesn’t a normal tournament sound like the perfect way to settle all these problems? Then wouldn’t everyone get the chance to play into the championship game?

Let me just give you the low down on this year’s championship game BS. So 4 teams from the roughest divisions across the US all have 1 loss. Coincidentally, two of them played each other, and the other two also played each other. So here’s what happened.

Florida (one loss) played Alabama(no losses). Florida won, and automatically overtook them. Florida will be in the championship game, seemingly because Florida won the head to head match up.

Oklahoma played Texas. Texas beat Oklahoma, so each have one loss. However, Oklahoma will be in the championship game instead of Texas…

So Florida is better than Alabama because they beat Alabama; but Oklahoma is better than Texas even though they were beaten by Texas. What the heck?

Dude, spray those things with Windex

So one of the things I’ve recently learned while taking baseball lessons with my hitting coach is really the secret to success. Relaxation.

A lot of times you’re just struggling, desperately, and you can’t find a way to dig out of your hole. So you try harder and harder, putting all your aggression into it. And it’s normally to no avail.

But what people don’t realize is that aggression in many cases is the problem. Your muscles get tense and you just try and force things to happen. What you need to do is step back and just breathe. Take all the time you need, and refocus that energy to what is gonna fix your problem. Then just relax, go with the flow. Give yourself some flexibility and don’t get so tense. Then you can actually figure out what’s wrong and fix it, instead of maybe succeeding a couple times on pure luck.

Everything’s in your head most of the time, it’s your challenge to control it.

I’d just like to say somethin real quick, I don’t think it needs much of an explanation.

First impressions are sooooooo important.

And today at baseball practice I tore the cover off the ball, coach was impressed.

I guarantee he’ll remember it too.

First impressions can make all the difference.

Blah Blah Blah!!! Blah Blah Blah!!! BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!

Seeing as I’m in the middle of writing a paper on my own made up philosophy (determinationism), I’ll make this brief and pretty straight forward. Coaches.

Every one’s different, and you never know if you’ll get along with them until you’re actually on the field playing. Some you see as older versions of you, still hooked on the game. Others you see as an evil cousin, someone you never look forward to being around. I’ve had dozens of each kind, as well as some right in the middle, one’s I just can’t decide whether to love or hate.

But the thing that scares me the most is the impact they can have on each and every one of their players. One bad coach could strip a kid of his passion for a sport, and I hope that never happens to me.

Break it down!!!

I figure I might as well mix up my blogs, add a little spice you know. So today I’m going to blog about something I guess is kinda sporty, atleast it keeps you in good shape if you do it a lot. Dancing!!!

Most of the time I HATE dancing, I’m horrible at it. I’m tall and goofy, and I guess I just don’t know how to go about it. Dancing to fast songs makes me feel like a tree swaying in the wind, I feel so out of my comfort zone. Then I have to look around and everyone around me is just totally having a great time, gettin jiggy wit it (not meant to be sexual). I try and get my groove on… but I guess I’m just useless at it.

I’m guessing some of you might feel the same way, or maybe you feel completely opposite.

I’ve enjoyed myself once or twice when it comes to dancing. I think the main way to have fun is to surround yourself with who you’re comfortable looking stupid around, that’s the way to go. And people who’s skills at dancing are around your own, then atleast you’re not the only freak.

My point is this, if you’re at a dance or something and you’re having a bad time (and when you have a bad time at a dance, you REALLY have a bad time), go find some people that are about as bad at dancing as you, then just be yourself and dance like an idiot. I’m telling you, you’ll fit right in and you’ll have a good time.
