A couple new things

So I haven't had anybody I know let me know that they have read my blog. I'm kind of torn on this. On one hand I haven't told anyone about it other than Brittney. I have posted a link on my Myspace blog about it, but I have to admit that I'm curious who has read it. Supposedly 86 people by this current post have checked out the blog. Now I have it set where my home PC will not be counted which eliminates my wife or me checking it. I know it shows up when I google my name, but seriously how many people actually do that. But I haven't really gotten too in depth with this blog, cause it is new to me and I'm getting used to it. I haven't received any feedback or comments, which I don't know if that means its boring or just people haven't taken the time to do it or not. But nevertheless I'm still gonna post. I actually enjoy it, even though it doesn't fit in my personality characteristics. I'm very unorganized, but want to be. I normally wear my feelings on my sleeve, thus what to blog about? But there are still things which I have to say that I don't really talk to anyone about. But I wouldn't mind a question, or subject that one of the readers is curious how I feel about it. Huh?

So enough about that.....So....last Wednesday I was asked by my friend Blake Carling to cover for some players who couldn't make a rec basketball league. Well I said 'yes' and it sure was an interesting night. Well I got my bell rang, saw stars, got beat up, was blind-sided, whatever you wanna call it. Blake was head butted by an opposing player pretty hard, so he punched the kid. Well a scuffle took place and their whole team started kicking and punching him while he was on the ground. So I ran over there and started throwing people off of him. Well they all started after me. I don't even think I threw a punch. I didn't even get mad. In fact, the second thought I had right after the one about helping Blake was I can't hurt anybody. I could lose my real estate license if I get in trouble. That didn't work out so well in my favor. Trust me, I could have really hurt someone while they were all distracted with Blake. How easily could it have been for me to choose my target and kick someone in the ribs, or the back of the knees, or even elbow someone in the face or side of the head. Seriously I could have hurt someone pretty badly if I'd have been in a different situation. Well.....I didn't. As I was walking backwards, more like skipping backwards, trying to see who was gonna throw the punch at me, thats all I remember....One of them hit me from the side or the back, and down I went. I know I did not see a punch coming. That would have been easy to remember. The interesting part about it, is I can't figure out where I got hit. I was definitely bleeding a lot out of my nose, and it is still sore and bruised. My jaw was sore, and I couldn't close my teeth together, and I had a stubbed thumb. I highly doubt I was punched in the nose, cause it would have broke. Its not broken, just sore. Plus I'm not gonna get knocked out from my nose. But I think I was hit from the side right on the jaw below my ear. I've been hit before. In fact I've split my chin open from a train-like collision with another soccer player where he went flying and all I got was a gash to the bone on my chin. That didn't even phase me. In fact I remember it just got me mad, very mad. I didn't even know I was bleeding. So I got hit by a lucky punch from some guys who apparently couldn't fight mano-e-mano. Oh well. I've been on the opposite side of this, or at least seen it. I've never just beat anyone up like that, but I've seen others do it who I went to school with. I've heard it repeated, "friends don't let friends fight alone". Well these guys must have been friends.
