Hey all
The reference to nightcap is actually something my bro found in the dictionary. According to Webster's College Edition (or something like that, it was published in the late 80's) it is defined as the ending game of a double-header... aka the second game. We played L.A. Baptist, and they were pretty good. We beat them 9-6 in the first game and lost 10-3 in the second. We lost a LOT of air (and energy) by the second game. I didn't do so well... and I sort of slacked in a few places in the second game.... and it showed. Shame on me.... I didn't do my best. That is a source of regret... but at least it wasn't a league game. Our lead-off guy missed both games due to a family outing, so I am going to be leadoff for the next two games. Hopefully I learned enough to do better than I did yesterday, because League starts on Wed. I am excited! It is going to be a hard season.
Things haven't worked out yet - I haven't even heard back from her. Looks like your "my only one" (ha ha... just kidding) Taylor. ha ha. Its from a song I heard a long time ago by yellowcard. Can't say they are in my favorites... but I listen to them occasionally.
My friend who just got baptized was ordianed today a Priest, and I got to stand in. It was so cool. Watching his conversion over a 5 month period strengthened my testimony. I know that he made a good choice in his life and will soon see the benefits of joining the church. He will most likely have the oppurtunity to serve mission soon. It was exciting for me to see the decisions that he has made recently.
Well, anyway, times are busy. I am glad I have spring break for a week! Yipee! But I still have to do an AP project and lots of math.... bummer. Lates!

Beverly Hills...
Hey all!
Baseball's going great. The Reseda game was a total blow out. We won 24-0. All the freshman went in the 4th inning.... i didn't get any balls hit to me. :( I went 1-1 with 2 walks. Not bad... :D. The last game we played was against Beverly Hills... you know... the song from Weezer... "That's where I want to be..." not really. We won 12-4. I went 1-3 with a triple... Sweet! With 1 assist and 1 throwing error... sniff. Oh well. I pitched for one inning with 2 k's. Nice. I tried my best and we did great. So now we are 3-1. Pretty decent.
Mormon Dances are always fun! Even when there aren't that many people there. You know... at band camp... just kidding. I met a pretty cute chick that just moved from Florida. Hopefully things work out. Maybe I can actually go on a date and not worry about ex-bf's or anything. ha ha.
I got to go to one of my friend's baptisms who is a Senior. He was one of the least expecting conversions I would think of, and he pretty much invited himself to church. His best friend got to baptize him too. That was pretty cool. I also get to help teach new member lessons to one of my home teaching family's daughters with the missionaries. That is fun too. Teaching the gospel can be fun.... it's just that sometimes we aren't courageous enough to talk to our friends about it. It's pretty hard for me to talk about it with a bunch of Christian and Catholic friends. It takes some .... word choice to explain what I mean because they don't understand our normal terminology and might misunderstand. Going on a mission is going to be SO MUCH FUN!
Anyway, this is fun to do. Lates!

Suprises are great -- sometimes
hey yall
first thing - that's pretty cool of you guys to comment on some random guy's blog -- I guess I'll have to return the favor!
Baseball is always fun -- except when your teammates get down and don't even want to play anymore. It's kinda hard to get past that.... especially when the team is down by a good 10 runs. ouch... yup. we lost 16-3. But I did get a pretty good hit and a made 0 errors. that's always a good thing. We played a bunch of juniors from Santa Barbara and they were actually really good. I think most of our team was overconfident. Our supposed game today was against Receda, but someone forgot to tell us that the game is actually tomorrow. oh well... got to miss espanol dos. Not like I learn anything in that class anyways... he just gives us the answers. ha ha. Tomorrow's game should be fun. And I get to miss a rally. (Don't really like them anyway)
Taking AP Euro? Isn't it great? All the DBQ's, essays, 5 multiple guess answers... 2 industrial revolutions, renaissance, impressionism, socialism.... just kidding. All the essay writing gets annoying, and the projects. But.... after the test... it's all relax and enjoy. :) hnrs algebra 2 is fun too, especially when it's the teacher's first year EVER teaching. That's pretty fun too. Teaching the teacher. ha ha. Anyways, its getting close to bedy by time. lates

Windy day
Hey yall
been pretty busy lately. Let's see... I never did go on that date, sadly, because #1 I had an early scrimmage the next day, and #2 her (re,ex, whatever) boyfriend decided to go. whatever. We won the first scrimmage and lost the second. I'm glad both of those games were scrimmages. Our season opener was against Taft High School from Westlake. I got to start and play all game (shweet!) at Shortstop. I went 1-3 with a double and an rbi. I made 1 error.... ughh.... but I made up for it with a diving stop (i say stop because it was a hard groundball not a line drive) to save a run. We went on the win 8-4. It was a good first game. My next games are on Tuesday and Thursday, and I can't wait. It should be a blast. It was pretty windy ... I hope it dies down soon. I get to do my scheduling for next year tomorrow... fun... well at least I get to miss AP european history. Another thing I can't wait for is my driver's license... apirl 16th yea! But... that also implies i should get a job (which I need one anyways...). So yea... pretty boring down here. Lates!
