Water Warrior

In the game of water polo you have to learn how to roll with the punches, kicks, scratches, and sometimes nearly drowning. However, the best thing you can learn when playing the game is that it’s all a part of the sport and there is no room for the meek.

Last night my boundaries were pushed to the limits in a scrimmage against my own team. One minute I was defending the ball, and then the next I got cracked in the nose by a teammates’ elbow. The session lasted less then 3 minutes, but my wounds will be a prominent feature of my face for the next few days. In true water polo fashion the game was picked-up immediately after I got out of the water, and despite my captains order to bench me I still wanted back in the water for more.

As blood ran from my nose I smiled with pride and stood tall like a warrior. My nose, now black and blue, is a symbol of my pride and willingness to go after what I want regardless of being hurt.

In many ways the game is similar to life. When you fall or get pushed down you stand up and fight back....well maybe after a fiver minute breather.

'N Sync with Justin

There's something about Justin that just drives me crazy. Aside from his hot new signle "SexyBack" Justin is quickly proving he just may be America's new pop king.

The Breakup x's 3

Recently breaking up seems to be the trend in my small group of friends. Apparently a few of them have called it quits to their long term relationships, some that span 3-5 years. For most of them I’ve gotten to know both people equally and enjoy both of their company, so the challenge I’m now faced to juggle is how to stay out of the cross fire and remain neutral.

What do you do when your best buds break up? Obliviously they’re going to share their feelings about the situation…ugh, just not sure what to do!
