Why I love sports.

Talk to any of my friends or family members and they’ll tell you that I’m one of the most uncoordinated people they have ever met. I trip over everything and anything, and most of the time it’s just my own two feet.

Despite this I have played every sport under the sun and guess what? I pretty much sucked butt. I liked socializing more that I did playing. Oh well, what can I say?

The affect that my lack of athletic skills has on my outlook on sports has been all but positive. I can’t shoot a three-pointer for the life of me and no way in heck am I able to score a goal in soccer. This doesn’t matter though because I absolutely love watching sports.

Why? Because anything can happen. Trust me on this, I go to a school that embodies this very statement.

There are millions of stories about how an unranked team beat a number one team. Or how an athlete was told they would never play again because of an unthinkable injury and the next thing you know they are scoring a game winning touchdown. Anything can happen, folks. 

Sports bring excitement to people’s lives. I can’t even tell you how many times I have been at a game and have seen an old man or woman screaming their heads off like a high school kid because their team just won the game in the last second.

Sports have a way for bringing people to life and making strangers into friends (or enemies).

So while you won’t find me playing sports any time soon, you can definetly find me cheering on my favorite teams.

And since a blog post without any pictures can be boring:

My friends and I at the Sweet Sixteen game in New Orleans.

At the National Championship game in Houston-We lost, don’t talk to me about it. Still not ready and don’t think I’ll ever be ready.Got to meet Dick Vitale in Houston. Pretty sweet if I do say so myself.

Alright, I could go on forever with pictures so I’m gonna stop.

Let’s talk about resolutions.

There is so much discussion behind new years resolutions. Some people believe in them while some think that they are goals just waiting to be broken.

I hype up them up like no other. I think that the closing of one year and the begining of another allow the perfect time for reflection. It allows me to look back on all that I got to do in the past year and plan for what I hope to accomplish in the new year.

Do I think that I will accomplish all my goals? No, but I have hope that I will try my best. Goals make me strive towards the person that I want to be. They help to push me into the direction that I want to be going in. So yeah, I make resolutions and I work my booty off to make those resolutions into reality.

My 2012 resolutions

1. Get healthy- Cliche, right? I know, but it’s true. I want to work out more that I did in 2011. I have hopes to run a 5k so I’m putting a training plan in place and whipping my butt into shape. I also want to eat healthier, more natural food that will make my body feel and look good.

2.Be more connected with friends-  A lot of the times I find myself being so caught up in the busyness of my life that I’m not staying in contact with with my friends whom I love so much. When I’m at school I don’t always call or text my friends from back home. And vice versa. It’s so easy to stay in contact with people so I’m going to work hard to call up my besties to catch up. Should be easy enough right?

3.Strengthen my relationship with God- I’ve struggled with this a little over the past year. I’ve become lazy in going to church while I’m at school. My excuses for this have been that I haven’t found a church I liked and I don’t know anyone who would want to go with me. But you know what? I didn’t even really try to find a church or find people to come with me. That attitude has got to change.

These are the main resolutions that I have for 2012. I have a million little things that I want to do but these three are the ones that I want to focus on the most. Whether you believe in resolutions or not I hope that you have a fantastic 2012!

Finally.

I did it. I’m no longer all talk and no action. Wooooohooooo!

I’ve been reading blogs for about a year now and always told myself that I would start my own. I kept putting it off and putting it off, saying that I would do it later. I figured with the start of the new year this would be the perfect time.

I’m still trying to figure this whole thing out so it might take a while before everything is up and running the way that I want it to be but I just wanted to pop in and say hey.

Here’s to hoping I can figure all this blog stuff out!
