And How Was Your Weekend?

Misery no longer loves company. Nowadays it insists on it.

Russell Baker

Don't you just hate it when others try to bring you down when your happy. I had a great weekend. A couple of my friends were in town and we hung out. Even though it was a fleeting visit I had a great time catching up.


A friend of mine actually told me today she was jealous of me for having fun. We laughed it off because only she could say something like that. Mean it and get away with it. Without me feeling upset and feeling away with her. Thats some true friendship.

Quote of the moment - Don't Wish, Do!!

Quote of the day: Put wishes in your right hand and shit in your left hand. Lets see which one gets fuller fastest.

Ida Seagrave

My coach said this to me today after practice when we talked about the starts session I had just had. This is something his mother Ida Seagrave used to say to him.

I was a little nervous about the consistency of my reaction. I said something about how I wish it was more consistent. He then dropped this line on me. Told me basically to deal with what I have, cause it really ain't about wishes right now.

Note: I choose the song below for obvious reasons and then I also remembered my cousin Ty is in this video.

Quote of the day:

When I know things are not meant for me, I learn to let go. It doesn’t mean I’m weak, but I’m just showing how strong I am to fight the urge of wanting something I’m not supposed to have
