today...

today i was just inspired to get outside and play. i went to wal mart and bought a basketball. i called the only person i know who i imagine would be interested in playing with me, Brandon Harrison. well. he ended up being stuck at costco, but i went to the old high school anyway and played. i saw coach Cain. that was awesome. i hope he knew who i was. the irvington girls soccer team was practicing while i was playing, and some kids (like 12 or 13 and who i assume was a younger brother aged....7?) were looking for their baseball practice and couldn't find it so they asked if they could play basketball w/ me. i said sure. they wanted to play 21. one of the kids was beating me for most of the game (i wasn't really trying) but he'd get to like 19 and i'd tip him so he'd go back to zero, it was frustrating for him. but i ended up winning the game by making 3 straight free-throws.. take that shaq. so yeah, i got to thinking: 1) i need to join a league. not basketball though, i suck at basketball.. i mean at different aspects of the game i'm really good, but when in a serious game i guess i'm pretty lame, just very un confidant and just bad. but in like a soccer, softball, or flag-football league. i just spent the last almost an hour looking up leagues around fremont or the greater bay area. i found a few in like palo alto and san jose..fremont has a softball one. so i really wanna try, but i'm also just starting a new job, getting back into school, on the hunt for a second job possibly, AAAAAND trying to become an ambassador at the oakland zoo. it's all too much.. and 2) i want to coach... terrible timing. all that and the responsibility of coaching most of which gives nothing monetary in return...besides the new job. well. i'm putting that off for a while, but i'd still like to do it eventually. possibly even for irvington. i really miss sports sometimes. lately it's been haunting my dreams. in the past six months (or when bonni'e uncle said something about giving away all of his money just to play one more game) i've had dreams of playing football. i'm starting to know how he feels. next week i'm buying a football. i'm hoping i can find people to play with me. i'm not really big on hitting/tackling two-hand or flag is perfectly fine by me; but most of my friends like tackle. but i'm seriously up for anything. i really need to play. i wanna work on my to do list. and some of this is on it.
