i guess everybody gets one


Lets start this of with something positive. chappelles movie comes out today. man i can't wait to see that. That man is a genius, our kids will learn about the chappelle phenom in class 50 years from now.

It seems like I always write these for one person, i don't know what that is, but it feels personal.

So, it has been some time since I've been this disappointed in myself.
tonight the golden bears played the MAC in the quarters of the mens volleyball national tournament. The bears won in four after loosing the first set.

I always thought i was relatively clutch player. Turns out I'm the most unclutch dude around. Like for reeeealz. I played bad, if you haven't clued in, like real bad. I've played for weeks without making so many errors. Dudes who play on team Canada aren't supposed to be such fuck ups. So on top of letting down my country, I also gave a poor example of my play to my extended family who had not seen me play before tonight. Also the team Canada coaches, and I certainly can't send the game tape to any clubs in Europe. I must tip my hat to the fans at MAC, they where great, loud and into it, just how passionate fans should be.

man. Soft, so soft. Like twinkie filling. Man. Well i guess there still two days to make it up. If I get the chance that is. Oh man, BIG props to Joel shmuland. The man child came in and ripped it up. We're so lucky we're so deep. We have crazy mad athletes who come off our bench. To be honest, i don't think i deserve to play. I hope Joel gets the call. I'll be upset if he doesn't. He's proved himself now. fuck shit, rumble young man rumble. Well I guess I sleep better tonight than I did lastnight. Weird how that works.

On the other hand, things could be MUCH worse. I guess that's why I'm still smiling. I could have been born without the ability to walk. or I could have been born into a civil war. Shit, i mean my biggest problem right now is a game. A game that I will probably do for a living. A game. GAME. GAMEGAMEGAME. No one does at the end. Everyone gets to play again.

As upset as i am, and believe me, I'm really really upset with myself, I guess the thing to do is keep my head up, and if i get another chance, play like a rookie, why not, what do I really have to loose? You tell me. I CHARGE THEE to tell me. I'm out.

p.s. Listen to more Mos Def and Common.

Yo Dallas.....sorry to hear you played so shitty. You have come a long way though. I remember a game in your first year where you were playing shitty and got pulled and all you did was sulk sitting on the gym floor. Almost seemed like you didn't want to admit that you couldn't play less than perfect. Now, you're sounding like a true professional. You saw a downfall and didn't meet peoples expectations, especially your own. Sounds like you're ready to come out and step up your game and prove that you're not some slack-ass, but rather that you can really bring it when you need to. So, don't go batting out now...step up to the plate and swing it again, only lay it down like you know how to this time. That's pro man....and I know you're pro......
