hazy

Jarod is confused. The situation I'm in isn't a bad thing at all, but sometimes I just don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do. I guess I'll just wing it and see how things go. I'm talking to Benji and Matty about it right now. I guess I'll pass on getting into it here for now.

someone to open each and every door

Friday! Well it is almost over now. I am going to head to bed soon I think. Gameday tomorrow! I have a lot to choose from tomorrow to do. The game for sure. I don't know what else I'll pick. I think Sunday I'm going to hang out with Matt and Eric for the first day of the NFL. Packers play MNF. Hooray. Okay well kind of. Swing Dance lessons start again so I'll be missing the first half or so I think.

Practice today was pretty good. I thought there was good effort on defense, but the kids just couldn't remember what the heck to do on two or three plays. They have the formations and what the play is down on most. Promising. I subbed in the guys that are supposed to be paying attention in the back for some repetitions. They had no clue what the heck was going on. I yelled at them. There were two that got an earful from me. The kids needed it today. We have a game on Tuesday.

I made them run a lot too. We had good focus on the last two days so they didn't have to run at all. Today was a different story. I started them doing ladders. One group. I think we ended up going about 40 yards or so. I was going to make them go to 50 but they were getting what they needed out of it. On the way back I cut down halfway and said if they ran good ones they'd be done. Of course they were all done. I gave them a lecture about how they should run like they did on the last two all the time and not wait until I say these are the last ones if they're good.

One of the kids left his locker open after practice. Granted he was the last one out of the locker room (and no one would be able to take his stuff) he is going to learn his lesson come Monday. I took his helmet and practice pants out of his locker and put them in the office in my locker. If some other kid got in there he'd be out quite a bit of money. He'll be doing 40 push ups to get his gear back. The standard 20 for each item.

I did laundry tonight too. I washed my bedding. Now that it isn't 90 degrees out I won't be sweating at night. I like the cool nights. I HATE being warm when I sleep. I like waking up and having that crisp cold feeling. I ordered pizza too. That should be my lunch and dinner for awhile. That way I don't have to cook.

This evening really reminded me of high school. Football, then going home (just my parent's house), and ordering pizza and just relaxing. I'm glad my parents are moving.

and you smell like how angels outta smell

So tonight the goodnight kiss had passion. It made me all tingly inside. I would liken it to being nervous and excited at the same time, but it really isn't just both of those combined. There is something more to it but I just can't explain it.

She looked really nice too. I should have told her that she did. I didn't want to be too strong though. I like how we can just talk. It is just amazing. It doesn't hurt that she is adorable either. I am excited! So far she has been worth the wait, and this time when I dropped her off she suggested they'll be a next time. :-D. I'm such a little kid right now.

I don't know why I'm listening to Dashboard right now. It is completely opposite of how I feel. I guess on my iPod today came up "Again I Go Unnoticed" in which they state "another goodnight kiss robbed of all its passion." Well tonight's goodnight kiss had passion. I should be listening to something happy right now. Maybe the song that reminds me of her.

I don't think I mentioned it because I didn't want her to find out, but a week ago I sent her a CD with one track on it. The song reminds me of how I feel when I am with her; so I wrote on it "this song reminds me of you" and placed it in the mail. She said she liked it when I took her flowers.

I'm happy right now.

hump day

Nothing really exciting happened today. I filled out some paperwork for Workforce Development to collect my unpaid wages. He owes me a good enough amount. Whatever the government can take care of him now. I really am not that threatening to him anymore since I finished working for him. The government is scary.

I'm happy with the progress the kids are making. I really like how the stalk blocking is coming along. They're getting better. Catching not so much. Everything is progressing well for our first game on Tuesday. It is coming up. Three more practices and we lace them up.

Tomorrow is Thursday! Hooray for short weeks. I really thought I had more to write. Three classes tomorrow. The first one I dislike, and the last two will be fun. Geography of Health is just long and kind of dry. We haven't really gotten into much of the health part of it; maybe once we stop learning about how to make the maps it will be better because we will be able to analyze them.

coach johnson is old (and slow)

It is supposed to rain tomorrow. I hope it kind of holds off. We made a lot of progress at football today. The kids had an upbeat attitude. I kind of didn't really get to do as much coaching today. I think I'll just work more with the receivers and defense when we go to team offense. I ran with the kids in conditioning today... kind of.

I got put on the spot. I started at mid-field and had to backpedal while the other kids ran towards me. If they beat me conditioning was over. They didn't the first time, and I moved to the hash mark. One kid caught me at the end, but the rest quit running so they had to do it again. The next time he didn't catch me, and they had to do it one more time. It was kind of fun. I was called, "old." Heh.

I got my DFM homework done. That was frustrating. We were expected to do a lot with little information. I wasn't about to sit there and get the dimensions of a solar bike. Not going to waste my time on that for a 50 pt assignment.

Christie and I were supposed to hang out tonight. She had car parking issues at her place. So we are going to go to dinner Thursday. I would have liked to have seen her but sometimes things come up that are more important. I think that is fine. I'm happy that we get to go to dinner Thursday. I'm really excited for it. I'll probably get to see her for a little more anyways since we both would have had to get up early. I hope she isn't worried about the whole situation. She should know by now I'm interested, and that a simple car issue isn't going to get in the way.

Oh and I put a background on my phone. It is fun. It is of two bears. I love bears. A mom and her cub are in the photo.

This past weekend was great. I got to hang out with a lot of my friends. My phone wasn't working with my computer today. I had to run into the store. I filled up on gas and took back the pop bottles today too. The hurricane could make prices go up for a bit. The car only needed $22 though. I guess I might have saved a few dollars, but every bit counts.

My phone just needed to have a "hard reset". It erases all the contacts so it was a good thing I went in. I'm starting to get a few back since my phone died a few weeks ago. I don't think I'll bother anyone about it.

This evening Ben, Matt, Eric, and myself went to dinner. I hadn't been to Sam's but I heard it was good. We went there and watched some of the UCLA/Tennessee game. It was a good time. When I got back I did some reading but kind of feel asleep and wasted about an hour. Oh well. I called Christie too; we got to talk for a bit. I enjoyed it. I'm going to head out here and try to get a little more done before I go to bed. I have an 8:05 tomorrow morning. Geography of Health baby. Then my "Happy Class" with all the football players. You know you're in the right spot when you have a large number of athletes in your class.

I am exhausted. I got 4 hours of sleep the last two nights. I didn't take a nap today either. Today was my mom's birthday. After stadium clean-up I made her a cake. She liked it!

I went to lunch with Jen and her dad. It was fun! Her dad liked how I am the "instigator". It is pretty funny how much crap I give Jen though. It is best if I don't get into it here because it is Jen's life not mine. Heh; it is pretty funny though.

Tonight I went over to Matt and Eric's place. We were going to go to a movie, but then we decided to rent one. We had it down to "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood." We rented "There Will Be Blood"; let's just say it was a little to deep for me. I think I missed quite a bit. It probably didn't help that I was exhausted.

I don't think my eyes can take looking at the computer screen anymore. Happy September! That means my birthday is coming up soon!
