baby its cold outside

i have brought up my blog a million times just to stare at the screen blankly. i freeze up. my mind is a blur of things i need to do, and want to do. sometimes differentiating those 2 things sometimes gets difficult.

anyway, december has crept up wayyy too fast. luckily i love christmas and im excited to spend it with my wisconsin family for the first time since in 15 yearsish. i guess a quick update is in order. i have been playing in a plymouth basketball league the past month plus. we are dead last right now. even though we lose every game, and im a competitive person, it has been a good experience. the guys on the team dont quit and give up no matter how outmatched we are. i have made some new friends and networked to some other ball players out there so i can get in some more pick up games outside of the league.

 my cousin bradley and i are about half way done with our bowling league. 2 weeks ago my average was at 197 and climbing. i have been in a zone lately. in the last month i have bowled just two games under 200. and i have had highs of 276 and 266. our team is currently in the lead for the league also. which will help in seeding at the end of season tournment where we can win back some cash!

now as a bonus to this blog entry, i am starting my bucket list, for today my body feels old as dirt.

phil' bucket:

1. get in a fight at a bar

this has been a long standing thing for me. i dont get into fights(off the soccer field or basketball court). i always shy away from physical altercations. i do speak my mind but i also try to be the better man as they say and drop stuff thats insignificant. so i think a list like this should challenge you to do things that are out of character. now i just need to talk some friends into backing me on this one...

2. bowl a 300

i dont know if this really belongs on the list, but its something i can practice and strive for and i think its very possible. and its something i need to do before i kick the can.

3. go sky diving

this might be the item that is going to be hardest for me to accomplish and will probably be later in life that i do it. i hat heights and the idea of jumping from a plane just seems so illogical let alone terrifying.

. . . and thats all i have for tonight. i think writing on this list will help me write more often and have an on going thing to write about. now for 3 hours of sleep before work.
