A Crying Moment.....

Well I am sure that everybody knows what has happened over the weekend. Some good thing happened and some horrible things happened. The Pride of Howe has finally ended its streak of going to the state marching competion. If my memory serves me right we have gone to stae 27 to 30 years in a row. That's still amazing but I did not want to be the band that failed. We were not supposed to fail. This whole season we have blamed eachother for all the mistakes but truly it was everyone's fault. There was not one single person who went through this marching season perfectly. I know I made mistakes and I will own up to them and they prop.. cost us a state trip. I don't know that though. There were so many things that held us back from being the best. One: we had a huge lack of focus at every practice. Two: we never used all the hours we had to practice, this one is the band directors fault. Three: Our band director was not strong enough. Four: not everybody showed up to practice. Five: No one cared. Yes, I did say all these things. As horrible as they might sound its the truth whether any of the Howe kids accept it or not. Our time is over now. I will never have another chance to get that gold medal, march in the Alamo dome, or feel the adrenaline rush that goes through as you march the show. I will always miss the feeling of euphoria as I finish every show. I'm very proud of what Celina has done though. They came out there and proved everybody wrong. Every person that I know said they would never make because there show wasn't good enough. I knew better than that though. After watching them at region I knew they were going. I am so proud of Leah! I only wish I could be there when she marches into that stadium. I miss her so much. Just getting to see her at area was heaven. Even if it was only for 10 min intervals. Okay, today I had to wake up and go play a funfilled day of lacrosse.Which I dreaded. I did good according tot he coaches and players but I felt as if I did horrible. Well, I know now that I actually have and anger problem in lacrosse. I told Leah last night that I will murder the first person that trys to pull a cheap move on me. Well that first person was a ref. He actually called so many b/s calls against me that it cost me a min. In the penalty box and almost ejection from the game. Well the ref called one b/s call on me and I argued with him of course. He said there was no interference with the goalie, me, and that I needed to shut up. Well of course I didn't like what he had just said to me and I told him what the rules said and went off on him he threw me in the penalty box. LOL! The next time he made a b/s call I went up to him and told him what the rule said and that he was a horrible ref. He had said I came out of the crease and went back in, you cant do that if you have the ball. Well, I told him yet again that it was b/s and he was like "son, you were out of the crease" and I was like " dude, I can keep one F***ing foot in the crease!" and he said "no you came completely out". By this time the whole team was telling me to shut up and I just finished with " whatever"! We did win that game but the next game we lost by like four points. I'm not going to elaborate on that game so I'll just leave is at that. Oh I did get an assist though! I was so proud of my self! I guess a write more about all this crap another time. Later. Caboose
