You know what I think would be pretty cool

Some people claim that spring sports are dull. I'm not one of those people, but I've heard it.

I know UMass has a soccerfest in the spring.

I know that the UConn Basketball teams have a skills competition.

Why not have a skills competition for the soccer teams? I think people would show up.

I think the soccer players would love to do it.

It would give them a chance to show off their pure talent and do things that they should never do in games. I'm sure they attempt and pull off some crazy ball tricks in practice.

Maybe they could donate any money raised to a couple chairities like Emeka Okafor's Safe Blood initiative.



Also completely, well almost completely off topic. I can do a lot of thinking when I am cycling. I think I've solved the world's problems while thinking on my rides before. I've probably gone 10,000 miles in my life....probably more through cycling. That's a lot of hours that I also just sit and think. It's very relaxing...it also allows me to write stuff in my head.

Anyway yesterday I wondered if there has ever been a good soccer player to ever come out of the State of Wyoming.

I bet most east coast residents couldn't find Wyoming on a map, but I will say it's a really really really cool state. I liked Wyoming...seriously. I went to a Rodeo and there was just so much open land and so much wildlife. I felt free. Yellowstone was beautiful.

Now completely off topic...honestly you should skip over this next stuff.

My favorite state is New Hampshire...even though I hate the cold. (I also love Hawaii and Florida...but they aren't on New Hampshire's level) My family has vacationed in New Hampshire every year of my life. Our Lake House is 2 or 3 miles from the New Hampshire state line so we always go to New Hampshire for groceries.

Of course we also go for the New Hampshire State Liqour stores. The New Hampshire State Liquor stores seem to inhabitat every strip mall in the state. I think there are more signs for the N.H. State Liqour Store than there are speed limit signs.

I don't really drink, but my dad buys his wine there. I was joking about going for the liquor store.

I also love the people in the state because they are so nice. Honestly...I mean this honestly...if I see someone is from New Hampshire I think that they are great. If I see that something is from New Hampshire, I think it's great. I love the state because I've always associated the state with fun. I also love the Lakes Region. It's perfect up there.
