So… It’s really awesome to heart that Jake likes to play with his friends in neighborhood ball and can pretty much do without the craziness of parents who seriously think their child is some kind of prodigy. Both Austin and Jake have been recruited for years by “select” teams – the ones that go to LLWS, and their interests in ALL sports has definitely prevented them from pursuing it, but here it comes…

Jake is recruited by a teammate from this neighborhood league through a third party that knows him… I keep in mind that he’s playing already with kids a year older, but I can’t help but to really want to see him succeed at this level – not his age. So I guess gone are my free weekends – but hello sore throats and big plays.

I’m so deeply saddened at the response to tragedy. why is it that people look out for themselves first? I can’t even imagine the inability to see another’s situation before i look at mine – I’m so thankful to God for that. May busyness never supersede a real heart for people. for those of you that don’t get it, I for 1 will never ask you to… but please, leave my life. My dearest friends lost everything in this fire, and I can’t believe what has or hasn’t come from people who know them and me. They have a better attitude than I do of course, b/c I’m so deeply disappointed – I’d rather not even talk to people. I mean, I’ve been witness to these guys ‘showing up’ in others’ time of need, but in theirs, it’s a freakin’ ghost town. I’m sorry that things aren’t convenient for you.

I remember a time when people claimed to ‘have your back’ – this really makes me wonder who really has mine. I can’t really say all the profanities I can’t stop myself from thinking – so that’s it, I’m outtie. If you don’t hear from me, it’s b/c I simply don’t want to see or talk to you.
