Just My Luck

Its been a while since I've written a post. And I have a perfectly good reason for that! No wait, I don't. To tell you the truth, I just haven't had anything interesting to write about. Maybe my music will inspire me as I write (Viva La Vida by Coldplay to be exact). Well Saturday I had a basketball game. I don't know if I told you but our team won our church ball championship and moved onto Thousand Oaks. So I turned up for my game pumped up and ready to play. Turns out it was a forfeit! The team had just found out that day they were playing and weren't able to get enough players to play. That wasn't going to stop us from playing when we came clear to Thousand Oaks! (which is like a 30 minute drive). So a couple people who were there to watch played including some of our players.

I started out on the bench until a couple of minutes when I was put in. I got multiple chances to make a shot but missed every time! Finally, I got the ball and fast breaked down the court making the lay-up!!!! The only problem with this was the game didn't count! This seems to happen to me every time I make a basket!!! This really fries me! After my game I ate dinner got a hair cut and finished my book the Boy Who Dared. This was a really good book and I totally suggest it. After all this, my best friend and next door neighbor Erik invited me to watch Kung Fu Panda. The first quarter was very good until I fell asleep of exhaustion from a long day.

Yessss!!!!!

Yesssss!!!!!(as Napoleon Dynamite would say). Yesterday we had a basketball game for church. I went for the game ready to play. I felt good about today as I warmed up. To tell you the truth I was draining three's (not that I would try to make one in the actual game!). We started the game (me on the bench) and they were off. The game wasn't going good for us, we were down by at least 5 points. Finally I was put in. Although, I did nothing for the team. All I did was run up and down the court. The half-time buzzer blew and I was out.

With 3 minutes to go, all the older boy's were taken out and all 12-14 year old's were on the court. This was a surprise because all of these players were about 5 foot to 5 foot 3 inches. With the exception of me who is 5 foot 9. We went up and down the court not doing so well when the ball was passed to me. I faked the shot and dribbled around for the shot. Suspense, would it go in? Yes!!!!!!! It was a swish!!!!!!!!! The crowd went wild (not really). The team did tho; this was my first basket of the season. This is an accomplishment me because I am really not good at basketball. Although, I do enjoy playing.

Even though I had a triumph, it wasn't a triumph for the whole team. In the end we lost. However, the game didn't matter at all. It turned out, the other team was a forfeit. Apparently the other team had a player who played for Royal High School. The rules clearly state that no players for church ball can play on a school team. Next week we have the championship.

The rest of my day was pretty dull. Except, my sister Miriam took me for a slurpee (which was very generous of her). After my treat, I did HW and washed cars. Washing cars wasn't to bad considering I got payed. Once I finished all that the rest of the day wasn't bad. Miriam and I watched School of Rock and had Panda Express. And to kick it off, we watched the Karate Kid. I have to say this weekend was pretty sweet!
