More Than A Porpoise, More Than A Man, A Manimal

I want a Porpoise who will laugh for no one else

Ok boys, lets try to play some defense tonight and maybe win a game. Anyone who pops up gets a spanking from me when I come back for Christmas. Cmon dudes, sack up and play with some heart. I wish I could play with you all.

Ok, I got totally freaked out last night. First off, I got off my fat A and finally played some more b-ball down in OB. There is this nice outdoor court with lights on Ebers st. It was like 7pm and the sun was already down. I was playing 2 on 2 when this cop car pulls up. The cop says to us, “Hey, look at that. What is that?” while pointing up to the sky over the ocean (this court is about 8 blocks from the ocean). What I saw was just scary. It was cloudy out, and we all saw a small white light shining through the clouds. It looked like a crack in the sky starting at the light going down towards the water. Three things made this scary, number one, the moon was in the East, so the light could not be the moon. Secondly, the sun had been down for over an hour, so wasn’t the sun. Lastly, this “crack” in the sky starting at the light was RED. The dudes I was playing ball with were freaking out, like this was it, someone fired a nuclear bomb at is. I kid you not, its what it looked like. One dude said, “F this, I’m going home and locking my doors”. This other dude was kinda laughing and made a funny reference to Red Dawn, that old Patrick Swayze movie. So I said something about getting AK-47’s and raising hell with the Commies. We actually quit our game and all went home. Well, I drove towards the ocean to see if I could get a better look, I mean, if this is it, might as well have front row seats huh? By the time I got to the coast, I couldn’t really see the light anymore. Well, I go home, and later that night on the news, they say that the Navy was testing some missile. Freaks. Thanks for telling us, and freaking the hell out of me. I swear, it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Especially in times like these, you just don’t know what is going to happen. Anyway, thought I would share that weird experience with you.

Besides being freaked out, Tracey and I watched Count of Monte Cristo last night, love that movie. Tracey had never seen it, she liked it. It is a great redemption story. And I took apart my skateboard and cleaned my hardware and oiled them down. Now I’m really ready to start skating again. I’ve been thinking about it everyday since I got here, and finally got things together. I have compiled quite a gut since moving here, so I need to get out more and burn some LBs. More ball and skating will hopefully overcompensate for all the great eating we are doing here in SD. Although I must say, I sorely miss my bread sticks from Polleyees (however you spell it), and I really could use a brown jug from Trotters.
