revolutionize the game

I don't think i've ever seen this work before. I don't think i've ever even heard of someone attempting this play before. I can hardly believe it worked. In case your wondering what happened, the setter set himself... and got away with it. This cat should run for office.

Gavin Speaks!!

Dallas soonias: For todays blog I thought I'd get back to the whole volleyball thing by interview one of the top ballers in the world. A towering almost jurassic young man by the name of Gavin Schmitt. Thanks for being with us guy.

Gavin Schmitt: Thanks for having me guy.

Dallas soonias: First off. Lemme ask you this. why the faux hawk?

Gavin Schmitt: Well you see i don't have much for entertainment out here in korea, i was bored and decided to buy some clippers to cut my hiar... i didn't want to buzz it right down to the skin but decided to do a in between real mo hawk and faux hawk much like i did in france last year.

Dallas soonias: safe. how's the season going over there? how long is it and whats hardest and easiest bout it? (The buzz on the korean forums is Gav is the greatest foreigner that korea has every had. thats the kind of impact he's havin over there. I'm just sayin.)

Gavin Schmitt: Season is going well, we are 2 wins away from a spot in the finals, we have 27 wins and 4 losses so it should happen, ontop of that i just broke the 1000 point in a season mark yesterday. Hardest thing is i think living in a dorm, i am like a wald animal and like my freedom... they have now somewhat caged me more so like a zoo kitten... not a fan...

Dallas soonias: I see, If there's one thing I hate, its going to the zoo to see something wild and dangerous and finding little kitties locked up with their balls of yarn. So if you where a Wu Tang member, who would you be?

Gavin Schmitt: you will have to excuse me, internet is like it use to be like in the good old days of dial up

Dallas soonias: I see, If there's one thing I hate, its going to the zoo to see something wild and dangerous and finding little kitties locked up with their balls of yarn. So if you where a Wu Tang member, who would you be?

Gavin Schmitt: I think i am gonna have to go with Ol' Dirty... can't really go wrong with that man, i mean sure he is dead now but he had a good run

Dallas soonias: He went on record several times promising never to reveil the wu tang secrets. in your mind, what the snap what he talking about?

Gavin Schmitt: aaawwww man, being an outsider and all one would think that i would be ok to give an opinion, but if he ain't gonna talk about it neither am i

Dallas soonias: thats very admorable of you.

Gavin Schmitt: gotta stay safe ya know, that could have people after me

Dallas soonias: I can dig it. so have you had a chance to check out the new online canadian volleyball mag?

Gavin Schmitt: i had a breif glance, but no time to read it yet, i think tonight i will sit down and have a little gander at some of the articles

Dallas soonias: cool i'll ask later. so give us a summary of how your avg. day might run.

Gavin Schmitt: lets say 6:45 wake up and weigh in (just to make sure i am not fat)

7am breakfast after which i go right back to sleep

at 9 or 11 we have wiehgts and days we don't we do extra training

lunch at noon,

practice varies in the afternoon between 2 and 4

dinner at 6

therapy at 7

video almost every night at 8 then free time for this guy

Dallas soonias: sounds pretty lax. who's the greatest most supportive funny good looking and all around awesomest roomate you've ever had

Gavin Schmitt: Well i once lived with this Dude named Dallas Soonias we became probably the only 2 members of the Charleswood crew, its a very secretive and exclusive crew, it can include harsh initiation of which being getting your *nether regions* grabbed against your will by a cambodian *lady of the night* in Barcelona, but thats another story for another time.

(this answer has been edited for the sake of the children. and really, its all for the children isn't it.)

Dallas soonias: ahh yes. on that subject, why not wrap up with a message for the kids. say your 13 and about to head into tryouts for your club team. what knowledge can you drop?

Gavin Schmitt: Uh i was once given a good piece of advice in never run bare assed backwards through a corn patch but i don't think that applies here. I think i am going to have to go with, enjoy that childhood while you can, there is nothing like living off your folks and getting a free ride, one day you will have to do it all on your own, soak it up while you can.

Dallas soonias: word of eternal truth. so in closing we've learned a lot about the ol boy Gav. maybe alittle to much about the crew he's in and the company he keeps. So we'll be following Gav's progress through playoffs and in the summer with the national team where he hopes to help team canada thunder out of their pool at he world championship in september. any thing you want to add there Gav?

Gavin Schmitt: naw keep readin, some day i will soon accomplish a guest blog about said story of barcelona, until then keep supportin, we will keep working hard

Dallas soonias: perfect, so to all our friends and supporters, thank you, and as of now I haven't found a cheeky way to close the interviews so i'm just gonna...uhh..........

Who Are You?

This girl has been all over my life for weeks now. I find her intriguing like the modern Mona Lisa must have been hundreds of years back, and by the by, I've seen that painting up close. It ain't no big thang. You can't get less than 4 meters near it and there's about 3 thousand people in the same room trying to get the same picture of it, and everyones irritated for the same reasons. Really the people should turn around a have a gander at the painting on the opposing wall. Its massive, like broad side of an old Saskatchewan barn. It took some ridiculous amount of time to paint. And the attention to detail is astounding, as if it was the sole reason for the artist's existence. truly a masterpiece. I wish I could remember the name of it. So go to the Louvre, follow the crowds to the Mona Lisa, and turn around.

Annyways, This girl. man, this girl. I want to ask her so many questions, I want to know all about why she is. I appreciate her so much. The photo itself raises to many questions and has so much to praise. Somehow with all the chaos in such a small space, all that should be focused on is in focus. Also the use of cold dark colors is a perfect choice to highlight.... well her highlights. It's like waking up too early for work, sitting down to eat a bowl of plain oatmeal for breakfast and getting punched in the face... with a watermelon.

Now the subject herself is mysteriously beautiful. I think. And thats something enchanting about her. Her face isn't clearly shown, but you can tell she's gorgeous ... right? For example, I'm going to assume since her teeth and lips are symmetrical the rest of her is as well, and isn't that the definition of beauty? Now her face is slightly turned away, but her eyes are facing the camera, giving off the impression that she doesn't want to give away that she's looking, but she's looking. Or possibly she's just aloof of herself. Basically she's letting you into what she's about, but not in so much as so you can figure out what she's about.

Then there's her cool sharp grey wolf eyes.

And what do you do with this girl? Certainly nothing conventional. You can't take her to a chick flick at the local movie multiplex, cuz she only watches indi films which she understands on a deeper level than you can analyze your fantasy football team; and you can't simply go get a cup of coffee at tim's, you have to take her to paris and sit in a sidewalk cafe as the sun comes over the Notre Dame to do her justice.

Maybe I'm biased since I've had blue hair a few times in my life, but regardless, I'm sure if she was blonde brunette or a red head she'd still have had my attention for the last couple weeks.

Chamberlain drinks sprite?

As a volleyball player currently reading a massive book about basketball, this sparked my interest. Its some footage of Wilt Chamberlain playing vball back in 69 when he was recovering from some injury that kept him away from basketball for half a season. Kinda blows my mind.

...Like he got shot with a potato gun full of chicken nuggets

So its 143 am on a friday night. I gotta play tomorrow. Correction I have to play well tomorrow. whatever i'm still adjusting to europe time.

Like the responsible 24 hour athlete that I am, I went to sleep at a decent hour. But I kinda sparked awake a few minutes ago with a beat on my mind. You know the back beat to "I want you" by Common? yeah, yeah its nice. nice all night son. Foolish dudes and most girls dream of having a flock of doves and backing flood lights accompany them when they walk into rooms, but for me, I wish that Common track would play every time I made an entrance. you know, places like: a restaurant full of eligible women, important board meetings where the table is 40 meters long has 100 seats on each side (at which point upon entering the room I would proclaim "...ya I thought we were gonna try to get the big table in here for this...") , gymnasiums and the bathroom.

Even when I imagine that song is playing in my head when I roll into places, I just KNOW my aura is so ice cold that all the dudes look at me, then at the floor, and all the ladies pause from talking about last weeks bachelor episode, (for half a second which is a long time to keep these ladies from their chirping) and somewhere, Rick James is proud.

I'm gonna go ahead and give a shout out to my man Claffey. I remember outside of bacardi limon, this guy possessed the top two traits on the list of stuff that makes late teenage girls wanna be down for making life shattering mistakes.

1. abs. and not just 4 or 6. it looked like someone transplanted a 20 piece chicken nugget meal all up on his midsection. It looked like he was a superhero, and not like a superhero WITH abs, but an AB superhero. abs everywhere.

2. a scar. and not just some wack ass scar like a 3 cm glorified scratch on your forehead from when your dog pulled you out of your baby chair and you hit your head on the coffee table when you were 2....or whatever... but a solid lightning bolt like Zeus himself struck you down in battle but mercifully let you live to tell the story.

now the ill thing is his zeus lightning bolt scar was all up on his Spartan 300 abs. so that just takes things to a whole new level of making young women get wobbly in their hipster wayfares sun glasses or their equivalent to whatever they were wearing a few years back. so he went from ballin, to ballin squared.

whow jeez man. I just read all that over to myself. know what, I hope that was Claffey that had the scar and the abs otherwise this is just weird. and u know what, on that note, I think(and I hope) this is the longest time i've spent talking about some dudes abs, so to keep things from getting awkward real quick next time I see my man, I'll just cut things off right thur. man who knew a simple shout out could turn into a bromance so quickly. I imagine most of my readers are thinking, awesome, dude had abs, when is he gonna talk about volleyball.
