Bad News Bears

Today was parts many things: it was part training, part bad news bears, part utter joy, part stinging regret, and many wild, insane and crazy stories and ideas, as it should be always.

Today's Bad News Bears was learning that the girl I was looking forward to dating this fall, has in fact, found another guy. No wait. Found isn't the right word. Found implies she was already looking, I think. Instead she stumbled into him; because no one ever plans on stumbling. 

I'm not mad at her. I will admit, at first I was, for a few moments. But common sense came a knocking, and I just couldn't be. She didn't plan on this happening, who does? It happened, and well, he was there, and I was not. No other way to look at it. And I look at it this way: she had the common courtesy, the decency of a respectable, lovely lady, to tell me. She let me know herself and I appreciate that a helluva lot. Do I wish I could have dated her? Of course. And I'm sad that I still will not be able to, at least not at this present time. But at least I still have a friend who loves me as that, and sometimes that's enough.

Good News Gophers today was seeing my friend Matt Leonard, who is an amazing, amazing friend. Some say we have a bromance going on. I am one of those who say that. We're awesome friends, and we click on so many levels he's like an older brother to me sometimes, (not discounting my official older brother, who I love a bunch haha). It was good seeing him today, since it had been so long since we'd had a brainstorm. We traded stories and songs, and ideas and life lessons for 4 hours. And we could've kept going, how cool is that? I have only a bushel full of friends I can do that with. I'm thankful for all of them, all my friends, and my friends Matt and Jesse especially recently. They keep me smiling and on my toes and my brain thinking.

Alright Internet, time for bed. Brush your teeth please, Manuscript told me you almost knocked him out the other day. G'night.
