Top 10
1. MARS Bangers - Probably my favorite weekend of the Summer. Ke$ha's Killaz was a fantastic group of people and MARS was an awesome tournament. I will definitely be going next year. The drive there and back, seeing a Pirates game on a beautiful night in Pittsburgh, hanging out and drinking with the team, the Piano Bar, The car Cd. We also played some great frisbee and won more games than we lost. I couldn't of asked for a better group of people to spend my 4th of July weekend with.
2. Wiffle Ball - Another highlight of the summer is playing some wiffle ball at night in the CB lot. Always a good time with people to play at night when a lot of time there is nothing else to do. Fun Fact: The tax on a wiffle ball in new jersey is 14 cents. Wiffle, truly the game of kings.
3. Inception - Have not been blown away by a movie in a long time. I have always been a huge Chris Nolan fan and this just might have been his best movie. It is an idea that I have never seen before and cant even begin to explain. If you think too much, it loses something. Just an enjoyable experience throughout. Shout out to Toy Story 3 as well.
4. Back Porch at 347 W. North St. - One of the chillest spots in Carlisle. Great place to hang out and listen to some tunes while drinking with some serious crews. Things were rolled, lists were made and sometimes people just passed out in the coolest room in the house. "Feelin' lit Feelin' light 2 A.M summer night."
5. Arcade Fire and Spoon at MSG - I wrote something about this at some point
6. Wildwood - Yes it was too hot. But after that.......most ridiculous weekend ever. I mean what else would you expect from a weekend at the Jersey Shore. The most serious crews you can find will be found. It's nice to see hundreds of people you know just wandering the beaches and boardwalk.
7. Dewey Beach - Got two beautiful beach days in when I missed my family vacation in Cape May. Lieberman Beach House was all it was cracked up to be. When 90 Minute is on tap, you know you are in the right place. Couple nights of ridiculousness and all you can eat crab legs at the Rusty Rudder.
8. Jack Johnson - The other concert I went too. A perfect night outside of Philadelphia to see Jack for the first time and see him play his new album, which is awesome. Perfect summer music.
9. Harrisburg Summer League - I spent the past few years playing in MCUDL and CUFA. Since I was working at school, I got to spend the summer playing for the Forest team in Harrisburg. We took the number 1 seed and won our semi final game on universe point in ridiculous fashion. Unfortunately, I probably wont make it to finals. Regardless, Summer League is always a good time. Also, the Underdog is a great spot to hit up after games. Especially when Jeff is buying you really expensive Beers.
10. Chesapeake Open - Ok this didn't happen yet but this is probably the most excited I have been for a tournament and that is saying a lot. (There is a blog post idea!) Southpaw is the best team I have played for and we have a shot of doing something big. First test of the year. You only get so many. Check back for the recap.......maybe.
Because life is far from perfect. As it read above the white board in Ms. Havas' room, La vie n'est pas juste.
1. New York Mets - Another summer of irrelevancy from one of the most poorly run and disappointing franchises in sports. They have become the NY Knicks of Baseball. Instead of it just being one bad year, you look to the future and see a bleak picture. The people at the top are oblivious to the problems and the players just don't seem to care. Emphasize the F in effort.
2. Driving Alone - The amount of driving I had to do this summer did wonders for the environment. I love a solid crew when driving and I don't mind driving by myself with some good music but after a while, it gets to you. Route 76, 78, 81: I hate all of you. I have listened to my entire CD collection 100 times so that I have started to hate my favorite music. And god help me when there is traffic. I cant even tell you how many miles I put on my car this summer. It's best not to think about it.
"But I've been driving all night, wondering what to do
cause I've got miles of county lines before I'm through."
3. Blazar Car Cd - Mis-labeled and just flat out dog shit. Sorry buddy but come on!
4. Southpaw Practice - We talking about practice! The lack of tournaments this summer has made me loathe the amount of practice we have. I usually like practice but you want to see results. We went two months this Summer without a tournament. And one of these practices almost made me quit frisbee. Cant we just play already? People keep asking me how we are going to be. I wont have an answer for another two weeks.
5. Dickinson College - I won't go on about this but by far the gayest handling of a situation ever. Could of been avoided but people are stupid and cant keep quiet.....including myself. But at the end of the day......fuck it. I better get some Karma out of this
6. Lack of London - The longer I am away the more I miss it. I would kill for a lamb doner right now. Missed opportunities to see friends back in the states. Missing the kids across the pond.
7. Summer Job - I guess this is unfair to be put on this list. Nobody truly enjoys working....I mean, look at Carlos Beltran. He gets paid 20 million dollars a year to look absolutely miserable when he plays. The job was good, the money was ok and the experience was good but the amount of work was a killer. And the fact that I missed out on my family vacation in Cape May was not cool.
8. Money - Spent too much of it. Nothing much to show for it. Not enough of it. Want more of it. With the frisbee school budget non existent, everything will cost a lot. Have fun being in charge!
9. Summer Workouts - With practice, summer league, work and my penchant for laziness, my workout routine faded as the summer progressed. Good thing I'm taking strength training for a gym credit this fall because I went there once this summer.
10. Reading - Once again I had a list of books to read this summer and once again I failed. You think that if I liked writing, I would read more but no. I am a lazy piece of shit unfortunately.
Ok so I cant end the post on a negative. That would be so un-summer like so here are 5 more things that were either awesome or I am looking forward to.
1. Senior Year - One more year at Dicking Games. Back on the meal plan. Leading Jive to glory. Any doubters??? Come and see me on the field.
2. Rob's 22nd Birthday - This would of made the list if I remembered more of it and didnt pass out like a bitch at midnight in someones car
3. My Fantasy Baseball squad - O man I promised I wouldn't mention this on the blog but my team is finally good after two years of mediocrity.
4. The New York Football Giants - I love this team and I love the NFL. The defense is much improved and we are in the right position to have a very impressive year. Were an after thought to most people, and that's just how I like it. Also: I like how the Jets have one great year and all of a sudden they are New York's team. I am not trying to talk shit but this is just ridiculous. In the end......who the fuck cares. All that matters is getting to the playoffs and as the man Rex Ryan said.....all I care about is wins. And that is something I can agree with. The goal is Super Bowl. Bring on the haters.
5. Just cause it needs repeating....Jive Turkeys! See you at Regionals!
