The Little League World Series is more exciting to watch than Major League Baseball.

I Can’t Throw
I don’t know how to throw a ball. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were thinking that “everyone knows how to throw a ball”. I can’t throw a softball or baseball. Well, I can throw it, but I can’t throw it to where I want and after every 5 throws, chances are I will throw the ball straight into the ground. It’s actually a little amusing but sometimes quite embarrassing. It’s not that I’m not strong enough. It’s just that I throw it like a football. I can throw a football. But when I throw a softball, I throw it like a football which apparently doesn’t work. I end up putting a football spin on it and I hold the ball with my palm facing myself like how I would throw a football. Anyway, I’m working on throwing the ball accurately and correctly so that I don’t feel so inept whenever I play softball.
Sometimes its frustrating to play a sport like softball because I’m not very good at it. I don’t have confidence and frankly I feel like I should be better. It’s frustrating to know that I’m not very good at it because I feel like my athletic ability should compensate for my lack of skills which it does but only sometimes. Whenever I play softball and mess up because I can’t catch a ball someone threw to me or a ball that comes at me I get really down on myself. Or when I try to throw it to get someone out and it ends up going wild, I feel really really bad. It’s like I should be better, I should be able to do these things, but I can’t. And sometimes I also feel like other people think I should be better at the sport but I’m not and they get frustrated.
Anyway, I did play in a softball game this weekend and it was kind of fun.
Eventful
Somewhat eventful week.
Thoughtless
Believe it or not I had stopped thinking for awhile. I didn’t know that was possible. I had stopped because I was in it. It is when you slip out of it that you begin to think. It is when you think that you know that you are no longer okay.
My Collection
22. That’s how many pairs of sport shorts I have. I guess its more than the average person. I’ve always wanted to lay them all out like that. :) If you know me, you’ll know that I just really really like basketball shorts. Most of those are basketball shorts. When I think about it, 22 seems like a lot of sport shorts for one person to have. But, it seems like I am always open to getting more. Yes I am somewhat of a brand whore when it comes to sport shorts. I never realized I had so many blue shorts considering I really like the black and red ones. Oh, I did have this other pair of yellow ones but I think my bro has them. Anyway, I don’t like all of the sport shorts I have. In fact, that pair of Reebok’s, I never wear. I got those because they were part of a uniform I had when I was working at a sports camp. I’m actually quite picky about the shorts I buy. Texture, weight, color, style, and length all matter to me and price of course. Believe it or not, I’ve probably only paid full price on about <25% of the shorts. I’d say thats pretty good. Nike no longer makes the mesh shorts I have. They still make mesh shorts but not with the exact material. The new mesh is no good. I can’t find the old mesh anywhere. I have 3 pairs with that mesh. Nike also changed the material for their durasheen shorts. I really liked old Nike a lot better. Anyway, that’s all. Ha. Who knew a whole entry could be written about sport shorts.
