better looking than the next generation


so i'm gonna be holland this week through the 27 trying out to play volleyball over there. if someone likes my moves then they might pay me to do some more moves in a shirt with their name on it. thats the plan and basically how pro sports work. i'm lucky because i'm decent at a sport that black or athletic people don't play, so to be at a professional level in my sport is kind of misleading. let the record show that it probably seems like a bigger deal than it really is. from what i can tell volleyball is played by cultures of nerdy whites. a few examples of volleyball friendly cultures: mormons like volleyball, though wrestling is their clear preference(D & C 72: whatever...). canadians like volleyball. fair enough. homosexuals also like volleyball. you have to be really nerdy to want to ___ of another man. pun intended. asians like volleyball. and since asians typically hate math and technology they don't really qualify as a nerdy culture, but 75% isn't bad, and i think i still have a strong theory.
so ya, i'm gonna be competing with about 30 people to try and play overseas this winter. i'm going to say with full confidence that there will be representatives from each of said groups. i'll keep you updated when i meet them in two days with posted results.

my packing is going well. i'm going with north face bag and SDCC gym bag as my two luggage draft picks. it's hard leaving suitcase and internal frame pack because this is an international trip, but overall i like my choices. also i have my passport. a few recent trips to mexico put that statement into perspective.

lots to say, but i need to be up in about 4 hours to start this thing. i'll have plenty of percocet and a small pad of paper lent to me and a pen i found on my own, so i'll be able to write throughout the days and transcribe to the cold cold b as the opportunities arise.
