Well today was interesting. I did a lot of driving around (ie carpool)
which is not bad at all….at least I was in air-conditioning. It was a
scorcher.
And I just got back from a football game at my high school. I was
reminded of just how much highschool really is for highschoolers…as
in those actually of that age (14-18). I was never really one to try to
be part of the “cool” crowd while in highschool, and it still seems
silly to me to watch all those guys/gals prance around trying to
execute just the right moves that will make them seem cool. Or perhaps
I misread them. Also, high school kids shouldn’t be smoking.
Another thing….since when did football games become a chance for
everyone to run around partially clothed? I mean, spandex is ok…..
but so many of those girls were dressed like little (pardon the term)
sluts in the name of team spirit. That’s sad. Of course it could just
be that I couldn’t see myself wearing butt-skirts (aka skirts that dont
even cover your rear) and as such I couldn’t imagine why anyone else
would want to, but…..I must be getting old to be ranting about
teenagers. And I’m still one. haha
Anyway, the point of going to the game was that it was against our long
time rival who has beat us in football for the past several years. The
exciting part is that when I left (which was well into the third
quarter) we were winning 24-14!!! Although I think they scored a
touchdown just as we were walking out…..I’ll have to wait till
tomorrow to find out the final outcome.
AND I’m leaving home tomorrow at 11:15. That’s both very sad
and
very exciting
and that’s where I am right now. So I think I’ll just
go to bed. ![]()

Our football games in high school were marked with a bunch of half-naked guys decked out in red and white paint, dancing around and banging on some old “Indian” drum while screaming things like “What comes out of a Chinaman’s ass? RICE, RICE RICE, RICE!” (In reference to one our rivals, Brother Rice). Ahh, those were the days…

LOL bassman! Thats hillarious! I take it you went to school somewhere in mighigan to be playing against Birmingham Brother Rice? I went to Grand Rapids South Chr. We open up our season in a week agains GR Chr. We always kill em… but its tradition! I love high school sports! On that note, Dave Kool (star player at my high school and lead candidate for Michigan’s Mr. Basketball) made a verbal commitment this week to Western Michigan University. Sort of a letdown, but you’re forced to settle when you tear an ACL no? Though… i think he should have taken the offer from UNC Charlotte. Good luck to him! I’m glad I can see him play another year.
By the way, awesome profile pic. Where do you get these things?

Yeah man, I went to Orchard Lake St. Mary’s…I think we may’ve played you once or twice in football or other such things.
