Kicker's Back

Oh hey everybody. So I took the summer off from the blog. Why? Well I was more busy during the summer, than I usually am during the school year. Monday through Friday my day consisted of...Wake up at 6am, head to work around 6:40. Work from 7:15-3:40. Followed by the gym from from 4:30-6:30. Then home by 7pm. Yes that is a 13 hour day. The next question is, "Was it worth it?" Probably not. I worked a backbreaking no paying job, where I was outside all day in the hottest summer since 1998. Then as if I wasn't already tired out, I busted my butt at the gym for two more hours. Financially worth it? No. Physically worth it? Yes. I came into training camp in the best shape of my life. I ran the fastest 300 yd shuttle, and have a mean 4 pack to boot. Enough bragging time for the blog.
So it's back to school, and after the first couple weeks of classes, I am sure I am in for a semester of hell. I am taking Accounting and HIST 499 (my senior thesis) with three other classes, on top of football and work? Sucks to be me I guess. Anyways, since being back at this school, I have realized how ready I am to graduate from this place. To be honest, I love Mason. I love the campus, I love my professors, I love my Sports History minor. I have made some great friends here, who I will remain friends with for the rest of my life. I will receive a degree from this school, that will determine the rest of my life.
All this said. It's the people here I dislike. Why are you all so immature? Why do you guys post stuff on the internet degrading each other. How come your an "outcast" if your not in a frat. I don't get any of the social logic that happens here. Once again, all this said. I am okay with it. I do my own thing. I go to class, get good grades, kick an oblong ball and repeat. While many of you think I am a "loser" for not being in a frat, not going to parties. That's cool with me. To most of the people out there, I'm that strange, tall, lanky kid. That wears a Phillies hat and Mason Football attire.
As I was walking off the field today after practice. I got a little emotional. This has been my turf for the past 4 years and come November, I will no longer get to wear the Green and Gold, come Saturdays. Not that any of you care, because most of you ask the question, "Wait, Mason has a football team?" Nevertheless, as I was walking off the field. I stopped for a second and thought about it. I am in for bigger and better things. Millions of examples flashed through my mind. Kicking at Towson. Teaching a High School level history class and getting paid for it! Sliding down a slipery slope at an Olympic Trials. Completing my Masters. Helping children become better people. And one day maybe even have a family.
Who knows if any of that stuff will happen. Maybe all of it will, maybe none of it will. But all I know is that if I bust my butt. What I want to happen, will happen. Im out for now, I will try to be more faithful to my blog if time permits. Peace out playas.
