LOL

Some ppl are athletes because they have talent.
Some are just in it because they have fathers who need them to be what they never could.
Some ppl are because it's a one way ticket to popularity.
There are many many reasons for getting into sports,and not all,actually most of them are not because they are meatheads or whatever else some of you call them or think of them.

I had talent and could have gone on to some seriously good schools but blew it with an injury.

Austin had,has talent and almost blew it with an injury but now looks like he has another shot.(at least that's what I gathered from your posts,I hope Austin:) )

If you want to trivialize something...go bother drug dealers and rapist and killers etc.etc.

Not starting an argument here,just wanting some you guys to see another point of view:)

well said Nova - as always

:confused: What?

huh?:D

I think Nova may have read to much into it. Like you ( or maybe even both of us) were downing jocks. Now I can't speak for you Elvis, but I wasn't downing anyone. Like I said previously I associated with everyone. ( preps jocks cheerleader, metal head, druggies, outcasts, whatever) I forgot where exactly I was going with this. So yeah, I'll stop here.

We were just saying what we did in high school. No one was giving anyone shit.

I played basketball for three years and soccer my sophmore year....I was very into Drama, and spent most of time in there. I was a skater kid, and still am :D

I wouldn't have anyone change a thing they said,everybody has an opinion and yahooo for that.
I was just saying 'hey looky'-here's another way to think on it.

That's all,really,truly-no ill will:D

LOL yea. Well thanks for all that. Although mostly from movies & what not I knew all those ways to look at it. :D Now I have scenes from a high school football movie running through my head. Varsity Blues.

Yeah, when the offseason starts I'm going on workouts for a bunch of different teams. I'm hoping for LSU or Iowa.

Iowa... pick Iowa.

That's the ''my dad's a hack who's trying to live his dream through me'' view point.

hahaha actually that's the "I'm gonna be in school another year after this one and another drinking buddy couldn't hurt" point of view.

Yep. Is that the same movie that has the whip cream bikini, or did the whip cream bikini just pop into my head, while scenes of the movie were in my mind?

They've gotta pick me first.

I'll put in a good word for ya. I once saw Chad Greenway on a bus.

That's really great news,I'm really happy for you.


...and now I can live vicariously thru your sports career-lol

LoL..LB who's gonna be gone in a month is the best you can do.

LoL,thanks.

I could hit him with a hammer too... is that what you meant? You... you want me to murder Chad Greenway?

That bes the one.

No no no no,not at all, I want you to murder Edmond Miles.

All I need is aphoto and a hammer... and I'll fuckin murder anybody... for you, man....

A scene from Single White Male

They better. ;)

I'm confident but I always plan for the worst, I've got the suicide note ready and waiting.

If you don't make it I'll commit suicide with you. I have nothing better to do and suicide pacts are all the rage ;)

Cool, I'd hate to mutilate myself alone.

Anyone remember any of the bands that were going down in your high school?

Awesome Trip! I'd like to see some pics of those fuckers! Haaha I gotta big grin thinkin of you drunk as a fuckin' monkey singing Whitesnake pimpin yo wears to da ladies :D

Yeh its a good buzz in those days. My time was the grunge era right in tha shit. Some really crazy bands playin' whatever came out blasting out total aural freedom.... it was a play what you feel kinda era no one was scared to pick up a guitar, bash a drum or scream some shit! Met a lady who broke my heart but now is a best friend and is like a sister.

Hahaha I'm drunk n pining over the past. Things were easier in the High School days I guess.... then responsibility crashes the party and confiscates the stash!

Apathy has sharper teeth now..... but the songs have more soul.

I went to a private school until 9th grade that was completely ran on basketball. That was and still is the only thing that keeps that tiny school running...I think I played for half a season in 5th grade and hated it, but there was a softball team I joined and actually enjoyed playing that, I even played with my moms work team for a while. I never took anything seriously with the softball, it was just fun and good exercise...I still like to play every once in a while. When I was about 12 I got really into photography, so when highschool came around I enrolled in a visual and performing arts school, and took photography as my major. I enjoyed everything about it...we even got to work in darkrooms, I hear they've taken that bit out of most highschool photography classes now and THAT is unfortunate. I was pretty good then, even got a few pictures in locally printed calendars.

Anyways, photography is what I did in highschool and had life not gotten completley fucked when I was 16, I would have probably gotten a full scholarship to just about any photography school I wanted. It sucks, but I'm trying to work on that now.

Well let me think.......

I was in 10th grade when I 1st heard Cowboys from hell & fell in love with Pantera. Then there was White Zombie, Megadeth, Metallica, ( cuz they didn't suck yet) Tool, Alice In Chains. I can't think of any other genres. Oh yea Curt Cobain was one too. :rolleyes: ( there was even a guy I went to school with, who's nickname was Curt, cuz he looked so much like Cobain it was almost freaky.
