Basketball/ My future

Well, i finally figured out how to get my vinyl records onto my computer. That was a hassel. (how do you spell that?) i took the RCA cable coming from my record player, hooked it up to my stereo, took another RCA and hooked it up to my computer. I used a program called Golden. That worked nicely. 

I havent had as good of a basketball season as I would have liked. Last year i was one of 2 7th graders to make A - Team and i did pretty good. I did great on B Team. Now we have a new coach. I really miss our old one. He went to coach the High School girls team because the coach last year got kicked out. (I wont get into that one) As strange as this may seem, i was actually the girls student manager last year. : ) The coach had been my teacher 2 years ago and we really got along well. He asked me and another boy to be student managers, however, the other was asked to be boys student manager. So i took the job. I really didnt get made fun of as much as i had thought. I just kept getting asked if i got to see anything in the locker room. (yeah, right.) I think the coach was a good guy, just made some mistakes, or did things that people misinterpreted. After that he was kinda treated pretty bad. I feel sorry for him. He's coaching in some other town now. But anyway, i guess i just havent been playing as well as I would have liked. i kinda just feel pressured by this coach, because if you screw up once with him, your sitting. And i liked the plays a lot better last year. But i shouldn't try to make excuses. We have a game tomorrow so hopefully i'll do better.

But one thing that always makes me feel better is the fact that i know i have music. I can play music, listen to music and just get lost. I know nothing that i do in sports is really going to matter as to how people see me and what i achieve 10 years from now. I hope to go into recording arts or something along those lines. but who knows. Im in 8th grade for God's sake, i have time. It's tough cuz i got my careers teacher trying to get me to want to pick all these jobs that i really dont want to do. Im still a kid. and im gonna keep that way for as  long as i can. i just want to have fun now. ya know? thats why i said i always have my music to lean on when im stressed (I'm actually listening to Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta now)

i got to go, everyones yellin at me to get to bed and give the computer to my mom so she can plan our vacation.
