success!

the results are in. the fundraiser for carver middle school's athletic department was a success. i would personally like to thank everyone in the community that supported the cause. many thanks to Nancy Christy and Deana Holt for putting this together.



it was crazy stepping foot in the new gym and it was nothing like it had been before. everything was switched around. the once outdoor classroom, is nothing more than a parking lot. the former gym, now classrooms and tech rooms. i hadn't been in the building since 1999! damn...talk about old school.
shout out to my carver c/o '99 fam. a lot of babies out there. kyra is still goofy. ricky is still ricky. mark is now a fitness instructor. j.c. is doing his music thing. and of course the feature of the night, nfl superbowl champ from the new orleans saints, robert meachem.

okay...now to the game.
it was a close game. we played 7 minute quarters and halftime wasn't nearly as long enuff for those of us who hadn't picked up a basketball since...2000 (give or take a year or two). the alum was the home team (coached by coach buck). i didn't plan on playing but with a little convincing from the teachers, i decided to come off the bench (praying nobody got tired). so, second quarter. i'm in like flynn and i would love to say i hit about seven 3's and had 10 assists, 9 steals, and 14 rebounds. but that would be lying haha. 5 mins into the 2nd quarter i'm huffing and puffing like i played 10 games with no rest! gee...but after sitting out the 3rd quarter and getting my gatorade on, i caught my second wind. then i started to contribute. diving for loose balls, blocking shots (okay just one) and snatching rebounds (4). i managed one steal becoz we hadn't any jerseys and the guy passed the ball directly to me and meachem tripped over my back while i was gathering the ball. it felt good to get back in the zone of basketball but trust me, i dont need to do that again for another 11 years hahaha. oh by the way, the game went into double overtime with the coaches team coming out on top 71-68 handing the class of '99 its very first defeat in basketball. but when you think about it, if we were still in our prime...haha nevermind. if you're 21 and younger, stay as young as you can. don't wish you were older..it's nothing attractive about it. lol
