On breaks I seem to post more often, its always nice to have some time.
So Patriot Basketball got killed by sunnyside christian and then beat desales in overtime. Its nice to start league play with a win, even if it wasnt pretty. I like that the senior class at Liberty can basically just hang out and talk yet still have a decent time. I ended up at Caleb Harts on Friday, and a bunch of us watched Elf and then just talked for a while. However, he could have informed us of the hot tub earlier.Saturday after the game it was all slick outside so I ended up just hitting up applebees with a few people. Today was church, and then work, and then I hung out with Victor for the rest of the day, even though we didnt find much to do. Oh well, I want to do some more stuff over the break with people. So hopefully I'll find something, but I'm not too worried.
Saturday after shootaround I had a nice long conversation with Coach Watson about college basketball stuff. We went on a few tangents, but basically I have to start basically making a basketball resume for schools, explain my situation, and find someone who will give me a shot. I'm very excited about it, but I feel like the list of schools I send this to wont be very big. I seem to be getting surer of George Fox over time, so when my dad asked "What if you can play bball for Pacific and not for Fox?" I was a little taken aback. I am not going to worry to much about it because there is no point in that when I havent even started, but it is something to think about. I started scouting schools and their rosters, and I think I could fit in well for most of these Division 3 NCAA schools, but some of the NAIA schools look a little daunting considering what my resume looks like and my whole adjustment to the collegiate level. Anyway, I really think I have a good shot at playing, even if it means redshirting freshman year, I dont care I just love the game. I'm stoked for the challenge.
Musically, I almost feel constantly inspired to write, but I dont do it all the time, and I realize that I might just stop feeling inspired pretty soon. Sometimes things like that just happen. I got a Snow Patrol mix from Victor, and it is quite good. I love Gary Lightbody's voice, it's pretty fun to sing along with too, a nice range and stuff.
So, I keep hearing this crappy rap at our basketball games, and on mixes, and it makes me want to write a totally cliche rap song, just to say I did it. The basic elements of these songs: 1.Start with listing your credentials(straight outta North Richland), your name, and the year. 2. The chorus has to have a small singing part, 10 words max, that is repeated over and over, with either sound effects(huh!) or some random rap line between repeats. 3. The verse has to include metaphors and similes about how good at life or how hardcore you are. 4. The bridge must be a faster rap with much more ridiculous and even childlike metaphors(cartoon characters and what not), or a slower yet harder few lines about how notorious you are. 5.You may have one small guitar riff that repeats along with the song's beat, you can change this riff slightly for the chorus and tweak the beats a little, and you can make a new riff and more dramatic beats for the bridge.
Did I miss anything? I know it is necessary to drink a sprite before rapping, because if you dont it is impossible to come up with intuitive lines like "Last name ever, first name greatest."
That's all I got
