I play basketball for Columbia too. I thought I wouldn't go out for the team this season, but I did, just like everyone thought I would.. sept for myself. But somehow I got there and I did it, and now.... it kinda sux to tell you the truth. I love all the girls, I just hate the politics of the team. But it's been so much fun already and I'm just looking forward to more fun times and good games! Christine, we got next season to look forward to, right?

OK, weight lifting is.......weight lifting! it's a huge challange and requires a lot of heart and dedication to do it. I was the first ever freshman member of the 500 pound club and thru the next year, I'm going for all-state and breaking columbia's dead lift record of 360- haha, i'm at 310 easily now...so I'm coming! I'm hoping if I stay in the weight room this summer and over next winter (with no b-ball), I can make junior olympics and empire state games! WATCH OUT NOW!!

Quotes!

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Pain is temporary. Pride is forever.

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough.

You have two ears and one mouth. Use them in that proportion.

~*You can't think and hit the ball at the same time.

Thoughts positive or negative, grow stronger when fertilized with constant repetition.

To win the game, you don't have to be the most athletic or talented. To win, you must have passion for the game, determination and complete faith in yourself and your team.

The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, and I am. Losers, on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have or would have done, or what they can't do.

The glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail.

Sweat + Sacrifice = Success
Ask not what your teammates can do for you. Ask what you can do for your teammates.

The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.

Adversity cause some men to break; others to break records.

If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

Remember, that when you're not training, that somewhere, someone is, and when you meet them, they will beat you.

Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world -- making the most of one's best.

The minute you start talking about what you're going to do if you lose, you have lost.

You have no control over what the other guy does. You only have control over what you do.

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start to the top.

The first and great commandment is- Don't let them scare you.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

Any Given Sunday-
Soon in life, you'll find out, life is this game of inches. So is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small, I mean one half a step too late or too early, ya don't quite make it, one half a second too slow too fast ya don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch, we claw with fingernails for that
Inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's gunna make the fucking difference between winning and losing, between living and dieing!
I'll tell you this, in any fight, it's the guy who's willing to die whose gunna get that inch.
And if I'm gunna have any life anymore, it's because I am still willing to fight and die for that inch, because THAT'S what living is! The 6 inches in front of your face!
Now I can' make you do it. You gotta look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. I think you're gunna see a guy who will to go that inch with you. You're gunna see a guy who will sacrifice himself because she knows when it comes down to it, you'll do the same for him. THAT's a team, gentlemen. Now either we heal now as team, or we will go out and die as individuals. That's football, guys. That's all it is. Now what are you gunna do?
