Today is the day that I have temporarily received bragging rights! I played in a co-ed basketball game for EBCLA. Following up on my "injured" post (see below), the reason why I got injured was due to preparation for this game. Three years ago one of my best friends brought me to play in this league, at one particular game I happen to be guarding this girl named Dina. Well, while guarding her I stole the ball and went for a fast break, while I was doing that she took my arm and flung it back while I was dribbling, and stole the ball back. When there was no whistle blown I had to get back at her so I shoved her, after that the whistle was blown. Anyway this game is known as the infamous game where people who didn't know who I was before, suddenly knew me (Kenji and Dennis). To this day I had never forgotten that game and today was the first game I was going to play against Dina. I was really bummed because of my injury and I had no time to practice, on top of that one of our top-scoring players (Eric) wasn't going to be there. Feeling low I thought to myself, "man there is no way we are going to pull this off." I dragged myself out to the game and said a silent prayer, hoping to not completely embarrass myself or my team. Anyway, after a great first half we were only up by 1. We pulled together and finished the second half up by a whopping 11!

 Lastly, I just want to give a shout out to my team! I love you guys, we did awesome tonight… thanks for coming out Katrina we couldn't have done it without that one shot! Guys- you did awesome job on rebounds, cause there was no way I was about to get up in that sweat! Those freethrows at the end were glorious! (Great hops Nate ~ don't mind the refs) and as always Elaine, you pushed us through!

On that note, I'll keep posting till the end of the season….

It has just dawned me that I should start eating breakfast on a regular basis. I hardly ever eat breakfast… mostly because I'm usually running out the door already late! Since it's not really a priority I don't make time for it. Recently, I've heard many experts/family/friends tell me you're supposed to eat breakfast and my response is… ok… but there are alot of things that you are supposed to do but no one actually does them. Well I finally decided to change my mentality and try it out.

I went to the store and bought a dozen eggs and this morning I woke up and remembered to go make breakfast. I started cracking my two eggs into the pan (it takes some skill because I don't eat the yolk) and I had the heat on low. Just when I was about to flip the two eggs I realized I didn't put any oil in the pan. Great… so now I just ruinned the eggs and spent like 10 minutes cleaning the pan with half raw/cooked egg on it. So after the excruciating cleaning I decided to try it again, this time I made sure "Pam" was all over the pan. I finally got the next two eggs cooked… and ate my breakfast… After this huge fiasco I'm really reconsidering this breakfast thing, maybe it's a sign. Then again I still have 8 eggs left …

Last week I was injured from the combination of work and exercise. I hurt my lower back which was originally hurt from a car accident a year ago. I went to a chiropracter and he fixed me last wednesday, so the next day I went to the gym and after my workout I decided to practice basketball since I joined this co-ed basketball league. While practicing my shots I was asked to play a 3 on 3 game with a bunch of guys, or course I couldn't turn down a challenge and so I went for it, my team won but as a result I hurt myself again… I went back to chiropracter and he did help again but when I came out I saw someone standing so close to my car… suddenly I realized he had hit it and indeed he did… but the good news is he left his info and I was able to get everything I needed… back to the story… so today was (tuesday) was the first time I went back to the gym since thursday and I pulled a muscle, I didn't realize I was getting old!  But I figured it would pass so I went to my game tonight and hurt that muscle even more… what was even worse was that we lost by 1… I thought to myself what if I wasn't injured would I have played harder? Definitely! Would we have won? Possibly… anyway I hate being injured I hope this will heal soon…. I'm to young for my body to start breaking down!
