Coming along nicely.

Well it’s a little less than a week into Golf Team practice and things are shaping up very nicely.  I can’t wait until April 7th for the first match.  You can already see the talent emerging from a select number of guys, myself included of course. By day three I was back into the “swing of things”  and I’m making contact nice and flush.  My swing needs a little work, but it always will.  The captain thinks he’s got the 5 tourny spots figured out already and I’m hoping to clinch the 4th spot by next week.  Until the first match my updates will be a bit spotty but hey, whatever.

Happy Easter to all.

Pre-Season Jitters

“I’ve got plenty of time.” That’s what I kept telling myself. Now, I’ve got ONE DAY until first practice of the season begins. First impressions are everything, or so I hear, I just hope I can make a quality one. Visiting the range has become pretty common place over the last few weeks but the consistency isn’t there yet, I need to slow down my swing but I’d hate to lose power because of it. From what I hear, We’ve got quite some competition this year. Here’s to challenges, may we never become complacent.

Intricate, Yet Simple.

A game is what you make of it. In this case Golf is my game. It can be both intricate and simple at the same time. A round of golf is multi layered. One can look at the game as a struggle of nature over man or of man over nature. Man can also defeat himself on the course as well. A physical rhythm and natural harmonic with the body must be established. A routine must be in place, but has to be able to adapt at a moments notice. No two situations are alike on the course, there is no control, there is no constant, there are only Variables. Variables can be something as trivial as a leaf that is sitting under your ball as you go to strike it, to something like a long dog leg to the right. Whatever may be the key to your golf game may not fit the lock to someone else’s problems. It’s a different experience for all that pick up a club. Some will quit by the third hole, some will play their whole lives and never go anywhere but crazy, and yet still others will master their mental, physical, and luck to go on to make a living out of the sport. You can be the equivalent to a jedi in the golf world and be a master of the force, or you can overcome with technology, really it’s all up to you. Thats why Golf is the greatest game ever played.

The Front Nine. Going In A Different Direction.

My esteemed colleague  pointed out that my blog might be dying and that it actually already had.  I have decided that I won’t let this one go down like that.  I just never had anything to write down.  I think I have found what I can spill my heart out about.  So for the most part from now on, I will be blogging on my favorite game: Golf.  The season starts out this coming Monday and I’m extremely exciting. This does not mean that it will be exclusively about the greatest game ever played, but it will be my main focus.  So, I hope I can make it somewhat interesting, although this blog is really just for me anyway.

Allow me to play through?

thanks.

I’m Lost.

Cody says I have to update the blog, I didn’t have anything to write about until last Thursday.  All I really have to say is that Lost is THE best show on TV right now.  “The Constant” was undeniably the best episode I have ever seen.  I was absolutely blown away.  It’s about 2 days after the fact so all of the information that I could display has already been displayed.  So. I’m done for now.

A Lack Of Direction Gives In To A Ramble Of Sorts

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I really feel like I need some sort of direction to go, one besides the directions given by the Good Book, and more like actual instructions, I often wonder what exactly I’ve been put here on Earth to do. Maybe the answer is nothing, maybe it’s something spectacular and grandiose, or perhaps I am destined to just be a mundane soul working to find the means to no particular end. Any of the aforementioned roads are fine by me, honestly I’d like to think I would travel up the grandiose path…I’ll just have to wait and see.

Everyone has been asking me lately, “Hey man, what college are you going to?” or “What are your plans after high school?” My answer has always been the same, “I have no idea, and I haven’t even applied.” I always feel a little bit depressed when I say that to people and I don’t know why, I could go through all of the hoops and actually apply to someplace, I just have no idea what I want to be when I “grow up.” This is an intense situation, and I can’t help thinking that the choice I make in the next year or so will have the greatest impact on my life, more so than any other. What a bunch of crap to put that on an 18 year old. Oh well. Sorry about the ramble, but I felt like writing a bit.

When your candidate drops out…

In my senior year of high school, I learned that it was going to be far easier to get to where I want to be, by just doing what I had to do, even if I didn’t really have a direction. Apparently certain people skipped school the day I learned that. After the Conservative Convention I found that the candidate that I was backing for the Republican nomination, none other than Mitt Romney, had dropped from the race after a dismal run on Super Tuesday. I was a little disappointed to say the least, I really though Governor Romney could really do well in the Presidential Office, I was on the same page with him on most of the issues, but now…I don’t know what to think anymore.

My choices fall between an over zealous while very real feeling Southern minister, God bless his heart…

and

A Washington mainstay that’s no more conservative than Micheal Jackson is black…

Mike Huckabee I don’t have a problem with so much, except for the fact that I think on a national scale, he is unelectable. But Senator McCain…sometimes I wonder if Hildabeast and him sometimes don’t go on dates when Bill is out of town. AND besides his shakiness when it comes to his “conservatism” He has his mother campaign for him. Isn’t he like 70? What the hell is his mom doing walking around let alone campaigning.

I don’t really know where this all leaves me politically speaking but you know, maybe the mixture of the two on the same ballot, McCain-president and Huckabee-VP, wouldn’t be such a bad ticket, it would most certainly give whatever the Democrats can throw up, unless of course everyone’s favorite downer Al Gore throws his little party hat into the ring.

Hey There! ;)

Hey guys.  Here’s the first one and there isn’t much to report. I’ll be changing things around and messing with the features and what not.  I’m not sure of the format or the content yet, but I’ll get around to it.
