Bittersweet

So trip to Portland was a success. Me and my boys had a good time, didnt get lost, got to chill for a while. It was nice to be on our own, just the three of us without any parents and such, but it honestly didnt feel that different for me. I guess I have gone to state a few times, and I am usually on my own, so it wasnt weird to not have parents. Also, i don't act much differently around my parents and friends so it didnt seem like a big deal to me.
The Warriors won. I am a blazers fan, but I kept getting crap about wearing my Steph Curry jersey shirt, so I was fine with seeing the Warriors win and Steph ball up some kids. And before you call me a traitor, Blazers made it into the playoffs anyway and the Warriors beat the Lakers the next day. So it is all good.
I did realize something on this trip. I have fallen out of love with just straight screaming. It is just kind of boring. I like when screaming is the climax, and The Devil Wears Prada is still fine, but I don't like flat screaming the whole time. I can handle it, but it is not my favorite for sure.
I am pretty excited to keep reading Mere Christianity, since C.S. Lewis is talking about faith now. So I am foreseeing a piece in this blog about that pretty soon, but not quite yet because I am not through the chapters yet.
I am getting frustrated playing basketball. I think it is a combination of being a bit sick, being tired from being a bit sick, and my leg workout a few days ago followed up by long periods of time in the car and stadium seats. My legs are just not cooperating on my jump shot. Yesterday they would hardly bend they were so sore, and then today I could not keep my base solid to save my life. It makes me angry when I know what to do to shoot right but I just can't do it. I have to jump to the left, which makes me compensate with my arms, which makes my shot streaky or just off. This situation is not fun but I know making mistakes and correcting them makes me better, so I must be getting way better right now...
My sister Yohana was in town this week for spring break, so that was pretty cool. I enjoy talking with her about random stuff, and it is nice to have another young athlete around to go running or whatever, even though we didnt get chance to do that this week. That's my little shout out to Yohana.
I am going to miss my bros when we go off to college. It is getting all official now with everyone committing to schools. Spu will have a solid group it looks like, but bryan is going to Carroll, I am going to Fox(still havent done anything more with commitment stuff, but yeah,uh huh, you know what it is). It is going to be interesting for sure, making new friends, trying to stay in touch with old ones. I am not regretting it, I am not freaking, I don't foresee shedding a tear over it, it will just be interesting to head off our own separate directions to pursue our goals. Bittersweet would be the way to describe it I suppose.
