Disc



So recently I have been just trying to keep my head afloat between video editing and school work and tech work. But...I have taken up a sport on a new level.

As many of you don't know Houghton College has an Ultimate Frisbee team that goes to tourny's etc. My friend Walker played on it last semester and told me about it but I couldn't do it because of field hockey. I love disc-always have since Gortz spent oh a good 6 months trying to teach me a flick!! Oh the memories. Fall Retreat. Leadership Summit. Tennesse. Michindo. The Hub. Anytime Paul cancelled youth group to play. Rich's under the lights. Well I'm not playing field hockey anymore because of my possible transfer to Asbury. So....I joined the team. We have only had 2 practices/pick-up so far but it has been really fun and challenging learning new rules and meeting new people.

One thing really sticks in my mind about one of the first days of field hockey practice someone said (while I was admiring the Frisbee team) "You don't want to play with them they are weird". On the contrary so far they have been some of the nicest people I have met on campus and encouraging and willing to teach new people how to play a great sport as well as make them feel welcome. So yeah thats my recent up-taking and rant.

Peace--I'm beat.

HAAA!!!! You've got a picture of a Wham-O. Just a friendly tip from one of those wierd Frisbee geeks: if you play with, or so much as mention a wham-o disc (unless it's in a derogatory manner) you'll be made fun of. Real ultimate players use Discraft.
