Internal Conflict

There are many internal conflicts that affect me all the time over the course of baseball season. Most recently and oftenly it is the feeling i get when i strike out in a big situation. The feeling you get when you strike out with runners on second and third with two outs is unbelievably frustrating. The worst part isn't the act itself, it's trying to keep your composure after the fact while out on defense. Eventually, i get over it with my next at-bat if its a hit. But if I have one of those days where the strike-outs pile up on each other, then the frustration stays with me until the next game or whenever i get my next at-bat.

The Ideal Mate

My ideal mate is very particular. First of all, her name has to start with an O. That way, whatever her real name is, i can nickname her Ozzie in remembrance of Ozzie Smith. Also along those lines, that girl has to be an avid Cardinal fan, and everything that comes along with that, like brains because every Cardinal fan is a genius.
Looks are easy. For some weird reason i notice eye width right away so her eyes have to be a certain distance from each other; too close and you can't trust her. I think the rest of her body goes without saying. A height between 5'6 and 5'10 is acceptable, taller is better though because then our kids might be good at baseball.
As far as personality goes, she has to be nice. Other than that, as long as she doesn't complain a lot, i'm pretty much set.

And she has to be a good cook.

Movie of my life

The movie of my life would most likely be the blockbuster hit of the summer. Not only is it a touching family/ love story, but its also filled with actions and sports adventures. The only thing missing is aliens, but i'm only 18 so there's plenty of time for that.
I would most likely be played by shia labeouf. He would be the perfect actor because he's kinda funny, good looking like myself, and kinda lame sometimes. If Mr Labeouf were not available, this would be hard casting, I'm really not that easy to play. My dad's perfect actor would be Craig T Nelson from back in the day when he was on the TV show 'Coach'. My dads pretty funny and he often does and says things that are a little strange but if taken the right way are hilarious. My mom would be played by Sigourney Weaver, the only redheaded actress i could think of. My brother would be played by the older brother from the show 'The Wonder Years'. My brother was always a pain just like that kid was to little fred savage. My sister would be played by an unknown actress.

Most importantly, my dog and cat would be played by the cartoon character Catdog.

Redo

If i could redo one decision in my life, it would be that left turn i made in Bloomington on December 17th 2006 at 4:42 pm. Now, i know what your thinking, "how can a left turn make you life change?" Well, quite simply actually. If i would have made a right at that intersection i would have been several minutes earlier to the mall. If i was several minutes earlier to the mall, then i wouldn't have missed the big sale on hats at hatworld. If i wouldn't have missed the big sale on hats, then i would have purchased a cardinals cap. If i would have purchased that cardinals cap, then i would have worn in to the game that following spring. If i would have worn it to the game, i would have caught a homerun in it, but not just any homerun. The hat i was wearing would have changed the wind patterns which would have made the homerun i caught to be Albert Pujols' 6th home run of the day. That feat has never been done before. So when i caught the ball, they would show the highlight all over sportscenter and local news stations. Later that week i would have gotten a call from ESPN offering me a job. After getting the job, i would have slowly moved up the corporate ladder and eventually became a sportscaster on television. Once on television, i would have a lot of influence on young people that look up to me. One little kid watching the show, his name would have been Alex Cureall, would have been inspired by my sportscasting. Alex would then grow up to find the cure for AIDS.

So, in summary, if i would have made that right turn instead of a left, AIDS would be cured.
