Starting Again, This Time with a Basketball Story

I haven’t written anything for this blog in months. Not that that is any real loss to society or anything. In fact, according to a friend, it probably was a favor—friends are great sometimes. But I am paying for the site, so I figure I might as well once again, spend a few minutes rambling about nothing important. I played basketball at a gym I have never played at before. When this happens, it takes a little time for me to adjust to shooting because my depth perception isn’t exactly great. Still, after about 15 minutes or so, I am good to go. The only problem was that when I showed up last night, there was no time to warm up. I was the tenth guy to arrive and everyone else was warmed up and ready to play. So I took about five shots as the teams were being split up. Of those five shots, two of them hit so high up on the backboard that when they bounced off, they missed the rim entirely. Two other shots missed the front end of the rim all together—one of those two hit a guy in the head almost—and the last one went in, but not cleanly at all. So naturally, neither of the teams was too excited to have me playing with them.

Little Things

I don’t know if anyone will even read this anymore other than my mom—thanks mom—but if you are, and are expecting to read about the car accident, you won’t find anything here. Not yet at least. For everyday that has passed since the accident, I have written something about it and no matter the day or what I write, the words never seem appropriate somehow. So for now, rather than not write at all, I am going to go back to what I was doing before the accident, in hopes that a return to normalcy will not only help me maybe find the right words to put down about the accident, but also maybe help show those that I haven’t been forthcoming about the last month with, see that I am not distraught, destitute, or drowning in depression. That was maybe too much alliteration there. I should point out though, that maybe my sense of humor has changed lately, for better or worse, you can be the judge. With that said though, these posts—for the time being at least—may not contain the same sense of absurdity that ones in the past have (is that really a bad thing I wonder?). I hope that doesn’t discourage you seven people from reading.
