Words of Wisdom

I enjoy talking to a select few of my family members and a lot of my peers. I love to hear their words of wisdom of all people my older brother Kelvin Rice is the person I talk most when it comes to words of wisdom. He always know what to say, when to say it and the right time to say it. I've always tried to figure it out but I never could and I realized what he did. Growing up with my uncles there were only a few wise one. When you're a child and your parents are telling you stories you sit and listen, you don't ask a whole bunch of questions and that's what he did it's also what I did but I didn't realize it at the time. He was older more mature so he understood what the inner meaning of what they were staying when they told their stories. I always thought they were just interesting stories so I sat and listened. I got the chance to go eat , hang out, and catch up with one of my uncles and he told me how my cousin's and I are in common staying on top of our work. He told me how he wished he did that when he was still in school but, he taught me a technique in learning. The grandpa stance when grandpas sit there with their arms folded and LISTEN. Just like we use to do when we were younger it helps a lot if you just sit and listen to your professor you have a question but someone asks it for you. Every now and then I like to share some words of wisdom with my siblings and hope they listen just like I did when I was their age. Some words of wisdom aren't meant to be said out loud like now on a blog or just anywhere in public, it's kind of like one of those what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas type deals. I miss hearing those words of wisdom everyday especially now when I need them the most but, I guess it's just my chance to come up with some words of wisdom on my own like now I've been feeling down because of my grades and my injuries I have felt like giving up school, sports, everything but, I have hope I just have to pick myself up out of the gutter and fight my way to the top.

disappointment

We had a big football game yesturday (10/15/11) and we got deystroyed. It was a big disappointment I was looking for a W after being out for two weeks. Coming out playing hard with the team fighting as one bringing TLU back on the chart showing people that we're a new team and that we can play with the big boys. Nobody thinks we can hang they think we suck they say it's going to be like last year, but they dont know what goes on out of the field yeah they can say the coaches need to do this or the coaches need to play this person but they dont know anything. The coaches always take blame for the any loss that we have they says that they failed to prepare us for the game or a certain situation for the game. Excuse me but I think that's a bunch of bull we prepared two weeks for this past game anything from technique to get off blocks to executing every play to perfection and they say they failed to prepare us. No we as a team failed to execute or job our coaches told us everything we needed to know about the team my defensive line coach told us that we we're going to get held up front every play and we practiced for two weeks the technique to keep from getting held and breaking the hold if we've already gotten held there are no excuses for the we played or the reason we lost. We need to rally up as a team for the next four week and practice as hard as we ever practiced to prevent what happened yesterday afternoon. I was in a program where nobody thought we were any good saying they're going to lose again here's another losing season and as a team we prooved everybody wrong not only we were undefeated in district but it was the first time in over a decade that we had been district champs and made an apperance in the play-offs. I belive that we can do the same with this team GO BULLDOGS!!!!!

Early and Catching Up

Im blogging arly for a change I have a lot of work to do so I just decided to get it out of the way a few big assignment due this coming up week. I have the mid-term I have to get ready for at least to the take home part and study for the open book part im kind of contradicting myself because you dont have to study for an open book test but, it doesnt hurt to look the book over and know where the material is so in a way it's studying. I also have a big three to four page essay for comp. class due on wednesday I have to finish that and make sure I have all of the other materials for the packet the proffesor wants us to turn in. Those are basically the only assignment I have to do this weekend i'm catching up in class very well since my concussion not being able to focus because all of the headaches and chaos happening i'm really getting on top of things. I feel great I get to practice on monday full contact getting ready for the Mcmurry game on saturday its going to be big. My itty bitty family is coming today I miss them so much I know my little ball of muscle is going to try to bite me since he has gotten his new teeth he is so cute. I miss my itty bitty wife to she's so supportive she makes sure I see and talk to my little man when ever I have time to talk, she also sends me video's and picture of she almost every day and she try's her best to work for money to be able to come see me every weekend even though I encourage her not ro come every weekend because of the cost of gas these day but she doesn't listen. She is so stubborn but, one of the reasons I love her hopefully I can focus on my work while they are here because my little man gets angry when he doesn't get his playing time with his daddy and I don't blame him we don't get to each other to often. School is great football is amazing we'll just have to see what the rest of the year brings us.

super later & good side

I am super late on my blog post update i've neve been this late even worse i'm even later on my rough draft for comp class. The assignment was to do a one to two page rough draft on a community its not that im lazy or cant do it I just dont know how to stat it. everytime I take one step forward I take two step back I really dont understand what the professor wants anymore all I can do is turn in the assignment and it be wrong and get critiqued on it rather than not urn in an assignment at all. On the other hand I just got clear to put my pads on and start hitting again I am so happy the team has been doing really well we won the last two games but we need a lot of help on the defensive line thats why im happy that I got cleared. I really need to worry more about school work because without that I wouldnt be able to play because of in eligibility. Im going to try and do all of my work in study hall today I need to straight work and no games I finally got the chance to go home last weekend I surprised my parents because they thought I was on the other side of Texas. They thought the surprise I got them was the football pictures we took before the season and they were looking at the pictures when I walked in the room at first they didnt notice I was I in there. Then my grandma looked up and yell it was the happiest thing you can see I missed them so much and my baby boy finally got his two bottom teeth he looked so cute when he smiled until he bit me on the nose it hurt so bad he's only five months and he's so strong. I scared him one time because he bit me and I yelled and he put on his scared face and started crying he is so cute and I miss him.
