blog b: recently

i have been spending a boatload of time on two things lately

1) work. i'm trying to get a new process to work. and i may have finally found someone who knows how to do it for me tonight, someone i've known for two years and just now found out part of what he does.

2) intramural-type league sports. i play basketball tuesday and thursday, softball friay, and even soccer on saturday. this is a game on over half the days of the week.

2b) drinking after or during sports. the wonderful thing about playing basketball midweek is that you end up drinking midweek AFTER playing. as i said, i play tuesday and thursday.

let's briefly discuss the teams i'm on. my tuesday basketball team stinks. we're 0-4. people have no idea what role they are playing. my thursday team, on the other hand, knows exactly what they're doing. we're 6-0. pretty amusing to play on one horrible team and one awful team. softball team is 2-0 currently after playing two shitty teams; soccer team is 3-0-1; we're pretty decent, but i feel like nothing really good. we hold our own but can be beat.

anyhow, the bottom line is this: i have come to realize that another reason to love sports is that its a great way to bring people together. though i think maybe we're too obsessed with sports, its a great connection between people. i can now count at least six accountants as friends, entirely because i started playing softball with them. i met another few people playing football. i meet new people every week at basketball. people have the best of intentions; they're competitors but also people.
