PICS! Friday - May 13

I finally moved the pics of Frisbee down to our "Internet" computer from the old one upstairs where my sis had put them...  I love hide-and-seek!  not....  Anyways, here they are!  =)

Soooo...  Give it up for Mom-O!  =)  She's getting better at shooting Frisbee.

I just noticed that in the pics I took of people looking to throw it, Gene-O's guarding most of them!  He was team captain by the way....  WAY TO GO, GENE-O!  Setting the bar higher for us.  =)

I hope you liked this little glimpse into the Friday Frisbee world.  =)

May Frisbee Tip

So, Frisbee is now in full swing and I haven't posted any tips this year.  :(  Sorry about that, but I've been busy and haven't really thought about it much....  Until now...
=D

Tip - Experience is very helpful (I know, it's nice of me to say so...  right?) in getting the most out of your game.  Be committed to learning while you're playing.*
OK...  This one needs an explanation.  =)  I've played 115 games in the past 5 years (I didn't keep track before then), and I've played Ultimate for about 8 years!  Thus I can be considered very *experienced* by some people.  And In all my experience, I've learned this - that experience goes for nothing unless it is helped along by knowledge and a desire to learn.

I can play a million games and still be a mediocre player.  Or I could play only a few games, gain some basic knowledge of the game, learn how to respond when different situations arise, and be a phenomenal player!
Some people enjoy getting out there and just playing with friends...  I'm not one of those guys.  While I do value friendship and being with my friends more than I like to play Frisbee (Really!  No joke.  Frisbee is just one of the many tools available to me.), I can't just simply play a game for that reason.  I have to be analyzing the field, cutting to where I know I can get the Frisbee, and trying to learn new ways of playing optimally.

Therefore - *Be committed to learning while you're playing...  It's really not hard to think through things while you're running around on the field.
(one basic way to start is this: when the other team scores a point, ask yourself this question while you're walking back to your end-zone - "How did they manage to score around my team?"  That should lead to a few more questions that are answered in your mind in less than a heartbeat - "Who was guarding X when they caught it?" - "Who was I guarding?" - "Are we as a team guarding specific people, or are we just doing a 'zone' defense?" - "Was the thrower giving signs of where they wanted to throw before they threw it?"...)
Ask yourself some of those ^ if you're committed to making experience count more for you than it does in the next guy.

There's only so much you can learn by simply doing something repetitively.

P.S.  The pics are almost ready for me to post them...  *Suspense...*  =D

Frisbee!

So, tonight we had a really good game of Frisbee!  :)  And mom got some EPIC shots of the game!

I should have them up here next week...  :)  I'm taking a little rest now.  *relax...*  =D

See y'all in 2 weeks @Frisbee!

Friday Frisbee 4/22

OK...  So I actually got a few pics of Frisbee finally!  :)

~We split up into 2 fields, This one more competitive~

 Burd throwing to Rockey

 Sky throwing to the end-zone

 Mark tossing the Frisbee

~This one less competitive~

 Chad Jr. looking to Big Chad

 Abby Davis calling the play

 Mr. Holmes catching the Frisbee for a score!  (It's the best out of the 2 shots I got of points! ;)

This is actually what most of the pics ended up like...  But I suffered through the pain of electronics to get the ones you see above.  :)

So that's the first in a series of Friday Frisbee events that I hope to capture with our trusty(?) camera.  Mom will probably be taking them from now on, since I can't stay away from Frisbee for too long.  ;)  But I know that'll mean that you'll get some better shots!

Some new things for Frisbee 2011

1.  I'm commissioning mom to take at least 200 pictures of Frisbee this year!  I'm also planning on sharing some of those with you on here.  :)

2.  We have better lights under the cones...  No more dealing with candles!

3.  At our house (after the game) we're planning on playing Presidents each night.  (unless all y'all don't want to ;)

Well that's all I could think of for now, but I hope you guys like them.  :)

Frisbee 2011!

So, there's this thing that happens every Spring in Georgia....  Friday Frisbee is here! :)  !

The Season opener is on the 1st of April, but please don't bring any tricks with you...  ;)

I'll start putting Frisbee tips on here again, and I'll have the dates and scores of the games on the side of this Blog.

ANYONE EXCITED YET?!?!

- Update -

Well (I'm going to start counting how many of my posts start out with "Well..." ;), I've been posting very little, and I've explained why (work, school...).  But what do I do in my spare time?

Well, I just finished reading a book that my Grandparents gave me for Christmas.  :)  I also spend time playing with our two indoor cats...  That's why I always have scratches on my arms...  :D  I watch movies with my family, play games with them, go places with them, and a lot of those good things.  :)  One MBM truck guy asked me how in the world my parents kept a hold on me (he asked in a good way, he wanted to know because he has a son), and I told him -besides the obvious answer- that they kept me busy doing good things, reading good books, and playing with good friends.  :)  And that's what I do, pretty much.

I also got out with my sister to play Frisbee today (A good idea since it's mostly good weather around the U.S.), and my operator is going to take me and his son out to eat tonight.  :)  It's a reward for reading a Proverb a day from mid-August to January.  :)

That's pretty much what I do...  :)

What If?

I'm (hopefully) going to be posting a few ideas on here that are titled "What If?", and their purpose is to start a discussion (if y'all want to talk) and get some ideas, and start thinking how things are wrong, how we can make them right, ...etc.

So... First What If ~

What if the Church did what the government is doing with the tithes that they're supposed to be getting?

What I mean is this... the government's hand doesn't belong in education, medicine, transportation, and the works (that's where socialized/rationalized health care, extremely inefficient schools, and oppressive taxes come from).
But if they aren't supposed to do it - who is? Are families supposed to do some of this (like education)? Is the Church supposed to take charge of some areas (like hospitals)? And why don't we pay more tithes to the Church instead of being taxed by the government?

It's about time Christians started thinking (that's a starting place at least) about what we're doing as a nation. ...And if the South should rise again!

Brushlets

Hey fellow Bloggers! (Or Blog readers...)

I'm now in the business of selling these hot new items!

Some friends of mine came up with the idea of taking a toothbrush and making it into a bracelet! We call them Brushlets! :) Simply put, you can pop it on your wrist (don't try and push it over your wrist, they might break if you force them too much) and have a stylish bracelet (...I mean Brushlet. ;).

If you would like some, they're for sale at $3 apiece (+Shipping and handling, when needed), and you can just leave a comment in the comment box, and I'll get back with you.

By the way, they come in 4 different colors - Red, Blue, Green, and Purple. :)

A chip in my tooth...

Well, the title says it all!

I recently chipped my tooth when I slipped, fell, and banged my teeth into a Basketball goal that I was helping some friends take to the dump...

Here are 3 pics...

Before I chipped it.

 After I chipped it.

Now - with my tooth nicely capped off by a good dentist.  :)

 

Chipping my tooth...  I knew it would happen sooner or later - When you live like I do, things are bound to happen (Like breaking legs, teeth, fingers, etc...)  ;)

 

Thankfully God was gracious to me this time - All the dentists that looked at it said that I came within 1millimeter of exposing the nerves and damaging it beyond repair!

PS...  Let me know if you can tell the difference, or how my new smile looks!  :)
