#82 - dodgeball and other fun things

officially i am addicted. i admit it. i don't need to go to meetings though. this is one addiction i don't need to kick. i just love dodgeball. that shouldn't be a problem right? there is a problem, and that is i just can't get enough of it!! just think about it, all fun-loving adults playing a school yard game and no one really takes themselves seriously, but winning is always fun.

tuesday - draft league - people rate themselves then get drafted onto teams, making teams pretty even. so games are always close and you get to play with new people.
OR
tuesday - pickup - this costs $5 but would be cheaper than playing draft league. pretty much same as fridays but costs money. it's the only way to really get better.

thursday - regular league - i just finished my second season of dodgeball, on two teams. it just gets more fun.

friday - pickup - there is a gym in nw that i go to open play. it's free on fridays and you get at least 2 hours of practice in playing against some of the best. i love it!

spring season starts in two weeks. i'm on dwayne's world for sure, that's my main team. we have all ten awesome players returning and it'll be a great season. we're gonna practice more and just get better. we lost our first playoff game which kinda ticked me off but at the same time that's how it goes. we ended up ranked #3 in our division but surely didn't play like it yesterday. everyone on the team comes out to the bar afterwards and we just have a great time together.

my second team (team FOB) is also returning. we're not returning all players but have the chance to find some more awesome FOBbies (minority types). it could be another great season (we ended up #6 but played pretty well in playoffs).

so do i want to be on FOB again or try out the draft league? it'll cost the same, only thing is i'll get less time to play on thursdays. i love having two games that night cause i've realized i reach my peak at about 45 minutes of play. i would love to do it all, and people do, but i just cannot afford it. i could just not eat for a month, that might cover it. might.

then there is kickball. kickball is a whole different thing. it's a lot more social and less sport. it's fun in different ways. i was asked to be on a spring kickball team. 6 weeks, sundays, $45, party at the end, fun times. i don't think i could do it all. i'd love to! but i might just wait for OKC which doesn't start till june. by then dodgeball will be done and i might just need the rest.

so i've got decisions to make.
