Football

Rain is pouring down in buckets, hammering your helmet like a thousand tiny nails. You are covered in turf from head to toe. Your tired as hell and you just want to sit down. Your head is ringing and your vision is blurring. You just want to quit. But then you remember, you remember why you are here, and what this stands for. You remember all the others who have come before you and faced the odds that you now face. You look up at the scoreboard at see the lights write out "14" for the home side and "10" for the visitor side. The flame that burns deep inside you bursts into a roaring fire that consumes you and pushes you to go that extra mile, that extra step, to achieve your goal. You only have 1 minute and 27 seconds left, the other team has possession on your 15. This is it, now or never; you have spent all year training for this moment. All you can see is blue and purple and all you need to know is avoid the blue and destroy anything that looks remotely purple. This is the end, the last moments of the game, the end of the end. You hear the referee's whistle being blown and know that it is time to end it. The clock slowly counts down the seconds till its over, but you know that it won't come fast enough and that it is up to you and your team around you to end it. The quarterback begins his count and you prepare for the beginning of the end...

Summer!

Ahhhhh it's finally here, SUMMER. Probably the BEST time of the year. Its a time for relaxation and rejuvination after a long school year.................. for MOST of you.

But for ME I have this little life consuming thing called FOOTBALL. Yes, I do love the sport but it's gonna take a HUGE chunk out of my summer. At least I get at least one inside joke a day and I will get a MAJOR tan. 

So anyway I wish you all a happy relaxing summer.
