Eddie's wide world of sports (8-19)
I thought I'd check in and post another one of these there blog thingys. I can't believe it's already getting into late August. Very soon summer will depart leading into one of my favorite times of the year; Fall. I don't have a favorite season really but there are certain times of year I like. I love April when the temperature begins to improve and the snow slowly fades. Things are reborn, love is in the air, it's a beautiful thing. But being a weirdo, I love Fall for the opposite reasons. The hot summer cools off, the leaves on the trees turn into pretty colors. Football, Basketball and Hockey return, Baseball gets good, I can begin to wear things again that I haven't worn in 5-6 months. Watching many things around me die or go into hibernation but only to return later lessens the impact of loss. If you believe in reincarnation I suppose this of thing makes sense to you.
Currently I sit here typing as the pitter patter of rain fights with the sound blasting from my fan. I had hockey practice today but that was scrapped due to the water coming down in buckets. Tomorrow morning my makeshift hockey team "Thunder lips" will make its' debut in the Buffalo Sabres annual Streetfest tournament. We have 3 games starting with our first at 9:30 in the morning. Of course that is waaaay to early for me, but I have been getting up early on Sundays for my 10:30 softball games, so I guess I can manage. Besides, being ever the planner I slept over 10 hours today being off from work and all so that when I sleep only 5 hours tonight, I won't be as tired as I could be. Unfortunately this hockey tournament means I will miss the 1st round of my Sunday softball playoffs, but the chances of us losing in the 1st round are very slim with us playing one of the worst teams in the league and with us being arguably the best team. If they win without me, I'll be back for next Sunday's semis and finals.
In my Tuesday league our softball team isn't nearly as good but somehow we managed to pull out an 8-4 win in the 1st round of those playoffs. My 2-run homer in the 2nd inning opened up the scoring and we really played nice defense because we usually give up a lot more than 4 runs per game. So yes the possibility exists that my teams could win both leagues. That would be so awesome! To top off that off I'm starting a Friday night league in 6 days. I've never played under the lights, so that will be a really fun experience.
My life is filled with sports and sports right now. A few years ago I decided to try to enjoy my summers and it seems that I am finally doing so. I'll have plenty of time to be a couch potato when it gets colder. Although now that I think about it, I may join a health club again for the winter. Being active makes me feel alive. It makes me happy. Unfortunately though it sometimes helps me to justify eating bad food. Well, since I played this sport earlier I deserve that ice cream. This is what I say to myself internally after an activity sometimes. I need just a little more disaprine... yes I said disaprine, it was from a South Park episode. I really do know how to spell discipline
I've also updated my profile pic as some of you can see. I generally update it every 4-6 weeks. I don't exactly know why, I guess I get bored of the one up there after a little while. I hope my adoring fans can deal with the lack of sunglasses in the pic. It's from my paperboy hat set which I know is very risque and creative. Okay, I'll be quiet now.
