October Is Upon Us
Well, it's that special time of year: the weather gets colder, the days begin to shorten, thoughts turn to the holidays, and we inch closer to - you guessed it - JIMBO's BIRTHDAY! WOO HOO! I'm gonna be 18 yo! Man that's awesome!
Anyway, I rang in the first of the month with a day of activities.
After a couple of classes - my last of the week - a friend and I hit up the University Union Pool Hall and shot a few games. I whooped his butt at nine-ball, but couldn't best him at good ol' eight-ball. We played for about an hour. I play pool at least an hour a day now. I bought my own cue and am getting more skilled every day....watch out. By X-mas I'll be hustling all the spots back home.
When we finished our billiards round I headed back to my room for some vegging out in my PC - got a Super Nintendo emulator that allows me to play the classic games- using a USB game pad. Ahhh, it brings me back.
Then I got a call from Ryan, who was going to play some beach VB over at the Rec Center. I said "heck yeah" and we were off. It ended up being six on six (not normal beach VB) but was a fun game. We played for an hour and a half and just played for fun. Met some new people, most of which live in the same hall as Ryan. Afterwards we all headed to the Lighthouse - an on-campus spot - for munchies. Ryan got a call from someone suggesting we play Ultimate later....we said sure.
I went back to my room, already tired from the days activities. I thought about calling Ryan to toss the disc around before the game, but remembered he was tired too, and decided against it. I just went back and shot some more pool with the guys in my hall.
A couple of hours later Ryan and I met with a group of ten other guys to get a game of Night Ultimate goin'. We decided to use a practice field behind the gym - one with no lights. My light-up disc, ever a hit amongst my fellows, flew across the dark expanse for TWO HOURS as we battled it out. 7 on 6, and I was on the team of 6. And we didn't finish until 12:15am. But it didn't matter 'cause WE WON! Amazingly no one was injured past a few bumps from wiping out on the wet grass. It was great fun, I tell you what. I don't think I've run that much a day in my life. We're gonna try to play again tommorow.
So that's the happ's in SLOville. Hope you all are enjoying school, work, and life in general. Keep the sunny side up. Peace,
Jimbo from SLO
P.S. sorry- no pics this time. didn't have the camera with me. I will defnitely get some Ultimate shots soon. Much luv to ya. - Jimbo
