Making life sound good

The great thing about a blog is that I get to make all the decisions about how you will see my life. Really I am just killing time at my friend's place in Texas and lazily planning my next move. But it has been fun. I went swing dancing. They all do Lindy out here, but the girls who begged to dance with me had to settle for some smooth east coast. East coast is a little more playful anyway.

On Saturday we traveled to Austin to visit our friend who has made something of his life. He is married, has a nice house, an Xbox 360, a job he loves, a cute daughter, and a huge TV; but he still lives in Texas. Anyway we spent two days there doing horribly boring things. Things such as grilling delicious shishkabobs, disc golfing, playing rock band, playing darts, playing board games, and most importantly reliving all the memories in which I humiliated him during college.

The biggest event of this week is that I went to the Texas A&M Rec center for some pick-up basketball. I have never seen a larger sports facility. The place was amazing. They had 30 or so racquetball and squash courts. They had 8 basketball floors. It was, and I presume still is, quite huge.

I did not play particularly well. I tend to eat very little when I travel and low blood sugar levels do not facilitate great game play. This is without even mentioning proper hydration. I held my own on defense but could not make a lay-up to save... well insert your own trite expression here. It will probably hold true. People always end-up stepping on my feet in pick-up games and I think that I am probably going to lose my left big toe-nail as a result. Darn kids. They are all so young now.

Was I ever that young? Or, ever that hot headed. Luckily I only had one meat head swear on his honor as a neanderthal that he would hurt me.... in retaliation for boxing him out. It all worked out in the end as his goal of running me over clouded his memory that the point was to WIN the game.

I will probably be here through easter. I have will be able to attend all the various rites and rituals that way. Did I ever mention that I love easter. Best holiday ever.
