Goodbye

This is the conclusion to my blog. I hope you have enjoyed previous posts. By this time, I believe that my writing has improved drastically and I think I am that much better of a student than before. I hope that I am able to incorporate what I've learned in this class in future schooling so that I can find the perfect college. Right now, I am about to delete that last post because someone is pushing my buttons. I'll finish this up tomorrow...

Things Are Looking Up

Today was good day, what's up to Ice Cube. The sun might actually be coming out. My leg feels a lot better, I can tell I'm close to being healthy again. With the help of my two I's (ibuprofen and ice), I'll be back to football so I can have an outlet for my stress again. Things are going pretty damn well with Victoria. Even though her dad and her brother are still trippin (hard, no homo), it's all good because her mommy loves me and that's what counts LOL.

Today I presented the GLIDES project that I've been working on for a long time and apparently it was pretty good lol. That felt so good to go up there and present that project so smoothly. I really just had a huge weight lifted off of my back.

For those of you who sit by me in class, you probably don't think I have issues, but I do. My family problems are starting to clear up I think and my school stress is falling off. Even though I said it's all good with Victoria, that's the one thing I need to clear up right now and it will all be fine.

Down the Drain

Down it goes. My spring season. And possibly the rest of it. On the first day of spring practice, I reinjured my leg running pass routes and my coach is going to keep me out indefinitely until summer. I felt perfect until one pass, I got overconfident with my leg and sprinted. I got overthrown, laid out for the ball, caught it. While I tried to tuck it away, my leg extended majorly wrong and I felt a huge pop in the back of my leg (I know what happened and I'm kind of hesitant to say but I think it means I refractured the avulsion fracture I had in the back of my thigh). It was kind of disappointing to know that I could really be running on a level I've never ran on, but I'm not going to actually be able to until summer now.

It's coming to the point of outright depression. I just wanted to play, this really isn't funny. I didn't see the need before, but now more than ever, I need to prove that I can be here for this team, I need to show improvement, and I need to be able to crack people and run around like I used to be able to in order to do any of the above. Honestly, I felt like I was rapidly improving before I injured this stupid thing in January. Three times I've injured myself since the beginning of the year. I've played through numerous injuries, but none as bad as this. I just want to be healthy, whatever the cost, I miss being able to run like a normal human being.

Classic Matchup

When two of my favorite teams collided a little less than a year ago, i was sort of frustrated over the prospect of who to pick to win the game. To be perfectly honest, I pick Ohio State (they didn't win, but its okay because both teams are better than UF). LOL I mean obviously UF does not "suck", I will give them that. The same does NOT go for Mr. Timothy Tebow. He will take his little narrow, fake religious, lisp talking self into the NFL and hopefully have his jaw broken (at the very least) lol. Anyways, the video enclosed in my blog this week sort of speaks for itself, PSU-OSU matchup last year, obviously, Penn State won but I can't complain because I love them both.

Good bye.

Percy Harvin smokes weed.

Good bye.

Tebow probably does, too.

Bye.

MY NEW NFL TEAM

Much to my dismay "America's Team" has cut ALL of my favorite players (not even kidding, Terrell Owens, Roy Williams, and Pacman Jones). After much arguing with myself, I have decided it is time to move on and pick a new team. After this year's draft, a few teams have stood out in my mind by selecting more than one of my favorite players. After much heated self debate, my new favorite teams are...drumroll please...

THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (Macho Harris, Lesean McCoy, Cornelius Ingram, Jeremy Maclin)
THE BUFFALO BILLS (idk who they drafted but they picked up T.O. and Dominic Rhodes)
THE N.O. SAINTS (not only did they pick up one of my boys Jabari Greer at DB, they took Malcolm Jenkins to play across from him. Also, the new best Free Safety in the league, Chip Vaughn, is a new addition to the team)
THE DENVER BRONCOS (took my favorite player in the draft Knowshon Moreno and also picked up Alphonso Smith at defensive back)

By far and above, my favorite team this year will be the Philadelphia Eagles. Win, lose, or tie, those are my boys for the year. Dallas now sucks so hey.

Big Blue

This is a highlight film of the school I've been considering pretty seriously, Indiana State. This is a game vs N Iowa. The Sycamores are in the blue (they suck, not for long). Don't laugh but they now are the proud owners of the longest losing streak in NCAA history lol. If I decide to go up there, I would get to room with one of my former teammates here at the Bay, CJ Ullysse. I'd really like to go up there so I could continue the tradition at ISU after my dad's all-star career there. No pressure, but it was an interesting visit up there. Read the blog about that one.

My Visit to Indiana

Last friday, I signed out of school early for my first college football visit. My dad was almost excited as I was because this symbolized my first step towards playing on the next level (possibly at my dad's former college). Terre Haute, Indiana is the location of Indiana State University and thats where I was headed. According to (potential) future teammate CJ Ullysse, this coach had shown interest in bringing me up to play with the Sycamores because of my athletic and academic ability, along with my NFL pedigree. When we touched down in Terre Haute, several things struck me that reminded me that I was not in Weston anymore. For one thing, it was 50 something degrees in the middle of April. The most striking difference was that everyone I met was incredibly friendly. Most people I met were involved in ISU's football program, had seen me play, met my dad, and wanted very badly for me to come up to Indiana.

Not only was this a change of pace for me to be a player who the scouts wanted to come to play football, but I am confident that I could outperform the players at my position on the college level (at least in Indiana). Some of the receivers were converted track runners and had never even played real football before. I have never been cocky, but this trip had me thinking that I may have more potential than I previously thought. As I met more and more people, I realized that this might be a good place for me to be. I could finally be in an environment where I wouldn't have to compete simply to get by, I could focus on my academic and athletic development, possibly even getting exposure enough to play on the next level. If my goal is to play football professionally, the path I have to take is simple. I have a strong work ethic, an extensive NFL pedigree, all I need now is a chance. Indiana State might be that chance for me. Wish me luck.
