Ode to Scrooge

Christmas oh christmas
How I once loved thee
You're were full of giving and glee
But then one year the light socket rusted
The cord sparked and the tree combusted

My stocking was hung by the chimmey with care
But really there was no point in it being there
The amont of coal that was put in my stocking
Was disappointing and some what shocking

I was so angry I shot it down the plumbing
To be honest I might have deserved what was coming
The pipes burst and flooded the house
The water killed my pet mouse

Finally to top off a horrible day
The last candy cane fell on the floor
With no time left to run to the store
Mmmmm lint incrusted mint

But what's most disappointing of all
Was the grinch who stole christmas dvd froze when his heart was still two sizes too small.
Bah hum bug!

Sports in my life

Sports in my life....
Well I would have to say that sports have been prevalent my entire life. More so when I was younger than now, but never the less still apparent. Growing up with twenty plus cousins, who are mostly all boys played a huge part in the influence of sports. Its pretty much the reason why I enjoy them. They all live in the suburbs so they all pretty much played soccer, when I was little I would play with them and I eventually was sucked into joining a team, but I'm not a big fan of running so I quit in second grade. Not only did I play soccer, but I played baseball when I was younger as well. (I was the cutest little right fielder ever) I stopped playing that a little after I stopped soccer. I can't remember why, but I think I was really into ballet or tap lessons or something at that time.
I became interested in other things for awhile such as piano lessons. When I was older I played volleyball for a little, but that didn't last because I became focused on other activities such as art. I realize I really enjoy playing sports, but recreationally. Sports are a big part of my life because they are a bonding tool with my family. I'm really close with my dad because I watch and attend sporting events with him. Its how I've always spent time with him. Whenever my cousins and I get together there is always something dealing with sports, whether its playing them or watching football games together. Sports are still a big part in my life. Its always going to be a common ground with my family and I. The end.
