INTRO:

If you are reading this for an accurate recollection of today, tough. It ain’t happening. I don’t remember everything, just some highlights. Keep reading though. You may pick up a nugget of truth somewhere. Doubt it.

WARM-O-RAMA:

Westside suggested we throw down on some Yoga today. Yea man. I am not forgetting about that awkward beatdown you Q’d at THL last year. That was weird dude.

Gut Check suggested circle gods. Never heard them called that but whatever.

YHC executed perfect SSH’s IC. They were awesome.

THE THANG:

Kiffin came up with the idea today for us to do some kind of pansy Dora routine in groups of 4. Two partners (Peter and Frank) start with the exercises, the other two partners run a loop and had to answer the following questions:

What did you want to be when you were a kid (when you grew up)?

If money was not an issue and you could do anything you wanted, what would it be?

Share 3 things on your bucket list.

I started really digging this idea, but Nomad started complaining about the squats and made us stop. #fail

Next Manning had us go to the train tracks for some kind of stupid “jump over each pax while we planked on the tracks.” It was really fun to hear Alcoa whine the whole time and it was even more cool when Headhunter broke his ankle. Ultimately he limped to the flag and had to go home. Good job, Manning. #epicfail

To wrap things up, Smurfette came up with some really weird 11’s routine. He made us do BBS’s between incline and decline merkins. This idea sucked and did not go over well with the PAX. It has been so long since Smurfette posted in the gloom, he could not remember what a BBS was. Way to go, Bruh.

Finally, we wrapped up at the flag. Harding pulled a new whisper cadence I have not heard before during some kind of Mary. I thought that was pretty cool. Probably the highlight of my morning. No, I take that back. Smurfette coming back after being gone for so long was my highlight. Oh one more thing, Matchstick called cadence in a really weird french accent. Still don’t know what was going on with that.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

A lot of prayers and big stuff going on with the PAX.

Crickets mom

The passing of Darth

EKG results from Gut Check’s M

Cuban’s mission trip

PJ’s brother

Molsen medical stuff

Headhunter injury. Send the bill to Manning.

Pray and meditate on Psalms 90:12 today. God reminds us that our days are numbered. When we remember this, we will gain a heart of wisdom. From my short friendship with Darth, he lived out this scripture. He did not take life for granted and he was full of wisdom. In light of Darth passing yesterday, I want to challenge you to live today like it is your last. What can you do TODAY, that you would normally not do? Have that conversation with someone you have been procrastinating? Spend quality time with your children, disconnected from work? Date night with the M? Reconcile a relationship with a friend or family member? Plan a trip that you have always wanted to do? Invite someone to church or to a bible study? Do something today like it is your last day and honor Darth. Darth WILL be proud of you and most importantly, I believe God says “good job son.”

 

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Dang. I don’t know where to start. I learned today that Garf wanted to be a lawyer when he was a kid. If he would’ve pursued this dream, I think he would be fighting for kitty rights or he would be a kick ass workers comp lawyer. The more I think of it, I can totally see Garf with a campaign of cheesy billboards and commercials. Damn it, Garf! Why did you not follow through on that dream!?!

Tiny Tat does not speak. I really hope I get to talk to him sometime and see if he has any teeth. He does work out really hard, so that is cool.

Really excited Smurfette came back after being gone for so long. Keep coming bro! Sigh…. We probably won’t see him again until after the holidays.

Glad several of us made a push for the Northside boys to come down and represent today. Otherwise, I would have been there with 2 bros from Woodstock. Awesome!

AC, thank you for bringing the Donuts! Love you man!

Gut Check great job on EH’ing everyone. Although your efforts are fruitless so far, I am proud of you! Free Tip – you may want to ease up a little bit with the youth group at church. They are probably starting to think you are creepy.

Here is the tally so far for injuries Manning is solely responsible for. Blowing out Hasbro’s knee, Fleetwood’s ankle and now Headhunter’s (Awesome name by the way. Any way you are a recruiter in real life?) ankle.  You always make me proud. Boys, be very careful the next time Manning is Q’ing. He is evil.

Love you boys!
