I wanna start this post with a survey. If you know me personally and see me regularly and happen to read this blog please tell me. Naturally I will treat this blog differently if I know people from town are reading it.
To other readers, there are some things that you all need to know about me. I've had a pretty active high school career. Boy scouts, lacrosse, band, student council, church and football. I starting playing football in my sophomore year. We had a great coach and good things were on their way for our team. Last year our coach's girlfriend moved to Colorado. He is now on his way to marrying her and also in Colorado. We now have a coach from the area. Nice guy, I don't know him that well but he seems like a good guy. I don't agree with some of his coaching decisions but I cant complain because I quit the team to raise money for this trip.
On Friday night I went to the scrimmage. The team is down to 14 or 15 true varsity players. Their offense is getting killed and their defense is flat. On the football team I'm known as Preacher. I used to miss a few practices every year for church related stuff. Coach was my boy and he respected me. Therefore everyone knew me and I kinda picked up a persona. So after the game and in school I have several guys every day come by and beg me to come back. I tend to think that they need me more for mental support then physical.
So here is my choice, stick with the plan, keep hunting for a job and go to scotland or help my boys on the team and lose scotland. Of course its not forever, scotland will be there next year and the year after. I haven't mentioned any of this to John yet but its still early. Its hard because if any of you know the story of Robert De Bruce, one of the kings of scotland... briefly, he passed up the chance to join William Wallace in order to keep his ass safe. I kinda feel like that when I see my boys getting their ass beat all over the field. At the same time I have a dream and a goal, go to scotland for the adventure of a lifetime. The downside of that choice is that I have yet to get a job. I've applied all over the place and I'm beginning to lose hope.
I don't know what I going to do but I think I'm going to stick with scotland. We'll see.
In happier news my good friends Nick and Oliver are coming over tommorrow for football all day. Hell yea!! GO JETS!! Good luck to all you other suckers cause the Jets are on the hunt and their coming for you!! haha
