update
I know I havent updated in a while, but I have been kinda busy with life lately. October was very busy for me, with a lead role in an original play, "Infidelity" by Mike, "Rockin'" Brabant, a lead role in a short film, "Love Drug" by Tony Ciarlariello, running the rail for "Crazy for You" and a staged reading for Mark Medoff(Children of a Lesser God, Prymate) of "Buy One, Get Five Free," by Amy Lanasa, directed by Paul Steger. Wow that was a mouthful. But hell, take that all three crazy for you callbacks. I did 4 great things instead of just one! Scapino! is my favorite farce ever! Ryland rocks my world.
I'm going home this wednesday to do the thanksgiving thing. I am going to bring my puppy with me so my family can share some of the joy he has brought me. I'm also looking foreward to hanging out with my friend Matt who will be joining us for thanksgiving dinner. And in return the man is taking me to WWE Smackdown tapings in december! Haven't watched wrestling since the semester started, so I wont know what is happening but ohh well.
Today, I witnessed the Jaguars blow it again and I must say, we will have a good team in a year or two, IF Del Rio doesn't go cut happy at the end of the season. Yea pick up some quality free agents if you can, but DON'T go cutting players who haven't had time to develop team chemestry. Like our defense for instance. We show flashes of what could be, but we need time to develop. Well glad that got out. Congrats Dolphins on the Nail biter!
I also decided that to cope with the loss, I needed to go play football, so me, Ken, Nick, Heather, and Allison went to go play "Catch." Well I couldn't help but go and play with some big guys out on Landis green. It was 6 on 6 and I wasn't Picked last! I was a little hesitant to play because these guys were taller and thin and I am 6 foot and 210 lbs. BUT we won the toss and We took the ball down to the 5 yard line. Every play there, I was open, but the QB didnt look to me cause they didnt expect me to beat the D-backs. But our QB wanted me to get a taste so he hands the ball of to me and I rumble into the endzone for a TD. So we end up stopping them on the ensuing drive on our 20 yard line. The very next play, I run a fly route up the sideline for a gain all the way to the 5. Two plays later, I make a diving catch in the front of the endzone on fourth down for a TD. (man these guys didnt see me comming). So they scored on the next drive which made it 14-7, I caught a ten yard screen pass on the drive and we had a big catch by a teammate that took us to the 15, but we came up with no points and turned it over on downs. The very next play, they threw a bullet to the guy I was defending. The ball hit him in the chest and bounced out and I snatched it up and ran it back to the 15. 3 plays later we were in the endzone. 21-7. These next few drives, I slacked off a little. They were doing short dumpoffs to get 1st downs and I ended up allowing two TD's in the back of the endzone to tie the game. Well it was getting Dark and it was tough to see the ball so I didnt go deep on the next drive. Ironically, the smallest guy on our team breaks one deep for thr TD. Then the other team responds by throwing to their smallest guy for a screen TD. So its 28-28 and we need a winner. We were all tired and it wasn't getting any brighter outside. My QB askes our team, who has a Fly route in them. I told him I have one more left in me, so I streaked up the sideline and he bombed it out to me. It was a little long and far left, so I couldn't reach it. I needed one more step. I hustled back to the line, and we both appologised. The next play, I went out for a comeback route, but I dropped the ball. I was very frustrated. So I told him, give me one more shot down field, I have it in me. He gave me one of those NFL but tap things and I lined up slot right on our 10 yard line. He called hike and my DB tried to bump and run me. Well I gave him a little swim move and streaked up the field. once I got to about the 35 I turned back to look at him while still running. I was completely open, I had burned the fastest guy on their team. The QB chucks the ball and I see the ball fly high in the sky. I saw a black shadow on a dark blue sky. It was then that I turned on the jets,... jets I didnt know I had. I cought the ball over my left shoulder at about their 40 yard line, and I rumbled into the endzoone for a 90 yard TD for the win 35-28. The deemed me speedy gonzales the tight end, because I had also made some key blocks. Victory is so sweet when nobody expects the underdog to come up big. IF this were a real game my stats would have been approx(including some screen passes i didnt mention) like this.
REC 5 for 210 yards 2TD
RUSH 1 for 5 yards 1TD
INT 1 for 30 yards
DEF 6 Tackles and 2 tipped passes
Sorry I had to break it down!
PS. It is amazing to have someone. I dont wanna jinx it, but I can say that she makes me feel awesome about myself, on a daily basis. Thank you so much, you are amazing.
