Do I Stay or Do I go?
fucking a
well i've been swirlin around the same thoughts in my head about quiting football.
Pros:
more time
less work
more focused on polevault
cons:
I'll miss it
I still will have to deal with demarco all semester
neutral:
7 weeks left of the season
well i talked with demarco after class today about it and here's pretty much how the convo went:
"I wanna quit"
"no you dont"
"yeah... i do"
"why"
"i wanna focus more on polevault because i feel i have a much bigger chance of actually being someone and doing something."
"well look at it this way, there's only 7 weeks left, that's what... 14 workouts with vern?"
"something like that"
"look, i know you haven't been getting as much playing time as you would like"
"it's not about the playing time coach, irt's more like im sick of playing in someone else's shadow"
"have you been behind kutek for long?"
"2 years now and 2 years behind harp before that"
"we've bbeen trying to get you in, and look at it this way, if kutek gets injured-"
"then youll send in chris"
"not necesarily, he's playing a lot on defence. You two will split the second string."
*monologue time for coach*
"I know it doesnt seem like uch, but we are trying to get you in. You are a good athelete. That's why ive been putting you out there on the edge for special teams because i know you can get out there. and your not just a player, your a leader. You may not be one of the captains, but you are a leader in the way you do things and the way you work hard. You are the type of player that every team needs, your smart but not cocky. now i want you to not go to film today but go home and think about quiting, obviously you've thought about it a bit already, but i want you to think again and know what's the right decision."
by this point the bell for the next class rings
now im wondering how many times he's given this speach to other kids and how many times it has worked or failed.
im gonna pick this talk apart later, but not now

That seemed very rehearsed. Not to say that you aren't a leader or anything, but I can imagine that is the kind of bullshit he tells anyone.
"you're not just a player, you're a leader. You may not be one of the captains, but you are a leader in the way you do things and the way you work hard. You are the type of player that every team needs, you're smart but not cocky."
See the cat? See the cradle?
I love you!
You should update because I miss reading about you; What you're actually thinking about.
I have recently noticed you to be a social ghost online as well. By the way, there were two new messages on your myspace but when I logged in I clicked on the new messages because one from me was in there and I'm stupid that way. So you do have them. It's just not going to tell you. Hence, why I just did xD
Unless of course you saw the e-mail in your yahoo inbox and remembered to check, which I'm thinking you didn't do because I know you tend to just delete those without thinking.
Anyway, write something. For me?
