I woke up this morning with a splintering hangover, my brain pounding, hardly alive. Yeah, my life lately hasn't been that great. Mostly, I live pretty high on the hog. And I'm able to find some positive interests... like reading about all the incredible life-forms on this planet... and seeing them at the zoo.
Anyway, I hooked up with a couple of my pals and we went and tossed the football around. It was cool. I find that exercise uplifts me and restores my sanity. Then tossing the pig-skin is a sort of meditation. It takes concentration.
And I have pretty good technique... though not a strong arm. That's why I have a smaller ball.
Also, it was good to hang with my friends. Sultan is from Saudi Arabia and is incredibly energetic and gregarious. John is new to the university from Colorado. He's chill and way wild... free from this "capitalism."
