Disco Curtis

Last summer when I was down in Texas I met three guys that played worship a lot for the church. I always saw and heard them practicing for their own band and I never really gave much thought about it. Well, now they have added a fourth member and have began playing their own music around the Dallas area. They all just graduated high school and look to be a really exciting up and coming band. They have a pop/rock/emo sound to them and opened for Metro Station a few nights ago at Six Flags. They only have four original songs out to my knowledge and a cover of Lady Gaga's Just Dance which is really good. Give them a listen and let me know what ya think...these are 30 second clips you can also check out their myspace page for full songs... www.myspace.com/discocurtis

If you have ten mins and you haven't seen this, you must do so. Watch. This guys had it figured out.

Softball All Star Game

Today was the church league slow pitch all star game. I went out early to help get everything set up. At 3pm the skills challenge got started. I competed in three events and I won two of them. I won the Most Accurate Infielder challenge. Going into it I figured I had a chance to win. The other event I won I had no business being in. I won King of the Mat. Those who entered threw ten pitches to see how many strikes they threw. I tied two other people with six, we then had a tie breaker and the first guy with 2-5, the second went 3-5, and then I went 5-5. Don't ask me how I did it. I've never pitched before but somehow I won.

My team ended up winning the game like 20-7 or something like that. Good day all around.

First Time For Everything

Last night I hit my first career homerun. In our softball game I hit it over the left fielder's head and then I ran around the bases like people were chasing me. No it didn't go over the fence, but it still counts. This is my first homerun ever. In my fifteen years of baseball I never hit one. Now, I can say I have a career homer. Feels nice, except for the fact my hamstrings are super tight. Oh well, I'll be good to play in the All Star game tomorrow.

Productive Morning

I usually sleep until about ten or eleven every morning. Today I woke up at seven and could not go back to sleep. So I got up, ate a small breakfast and then went for a run. I almost threw up because I'm not used to eating breakfast.

After returning home I showered and then read the Sermon on the Mount in the Bible. I hadn't really read much in my Bible lately so it was a good thing for me. Good morning.

Two big softball games tonight. Gonna be fun.

All Star Game

This was the first time I've seen the All Star game in like eight years. I've always been at church camp or on a mission trip so this year was so exciting for me.

The homerun derby: bust. Something needs to happen to make it more exciting. It takes WAY too long. Let's fix it.

The actual game was great! I seem to enjoy rooting for players more than actual teams so this night was great for me. Many of my favorites were on display. About five or six guys from my fantasy team were in the game. Carl Crawford is on my team and he won the MVP! Very exciting night all around. Really glad the first one I've seen in years was in St. Louis.
