long time coming, lots to tell

Its been a long time coming and things have been great for the most part. I was out of commission for a while with a partially torn hamstring. But dont you worry i am back and trying to get better than ever.

Ultimate:
Being out of the team for over 6 months sucks, it was painful to watch my team play, knowing full well that i couldn't. To be fair the team did its best without me. I almost think that i wont play next year knowing that they can be so much greater without me. I mean I will try to pick up my game and get faster and be a much better handler and cutter. My main problems re in confidence and skill. I lack skill their for my confidence goes down their for i play worse then i would. In the time that i have been off, my throws have gone down significantly and my speed is now slower than the speed at which Hawaii moves closer to japan (about 1 inch every year). I have one good thing going for me, and that is my height.

I am a 6 foot 5 inch tall monster who comes down with a lot of discs when they go up, I have decent hand eye coordination and i don't mind getting physical. Thats the extent of my game. This summer is either going to make or break me for the team. I am either going to be on the team and a primary handler who can beat almost everyone in the air(including Thomas) or i am going to be the towel/water boy for the team.

I have to work on my game so starting tomorrow i will be doing part of the SNERTZ workout once a week with some added things of my own. If I can lose 30 pounds by the end of September I will be where i want to be when it comes to starting to be in shape. If i lose that weight i will be a much healthier person, and a much better looking one. I am going to ask dave and doobs to give me a try out to see if I should even be on the team, or if i should do more.

Training:
Right now i have been doing push ups and sit ups and trying to do excruciators every night. So far i think i have lost maybe 5 pounds maybe. I don't know, i feel it in my jeans. I will also be doing a track workout once a week and working on throwing and cutting once a week as well. One big test for me will be wildwood, and then the biggest test will be the zodiac and the one i want dave and doober to give me.

Throws:
my throws are not where i want them to be, my flick drops too fast and it very o-i. My backhand is so weak that i feel like if i throw it full force at someone, it would be more like a push pass. I have to work harder on these two throws if i wish to succeed on the team.

Right now i feel as though Steven Stieglitz is right when he called me a liability on the team, i don't run I'm slow i cant keep up with my man, and my throws are not that good.

Im going to try and make my own self cutting drill that i can do but im not sure what i am going to incorperate into it, any pointers?

Beer:
So my friends and I decided to make our own beer and so far its fermenting. If it goes well we will experiment with out own flavors and hopefully eventually mass produce it and create Staten Island's first brewery or brew pub. I was just thinking that i could try something with mint but im not sure how it would go but we will see.

a last minute tournament has been schedualed for this up coming weekend. We will be versing bard vassar and marist at marist. Things are looking good but im not sure how we will do. I hope to skullfuck and walk away 2 and 1 for the day but i dont know.

Side notes: co-ed tourny 5-2 ratio, and we havent played in 2-3 weeks

dodgeball

dodgeball and volleyball are starting up, they have been going smoothly so far. We lost one game so far due to bad calls and us losing 3 on 1 battles. I dont know but i play again tonight and we have to win cause i want a campionship shirt.
Volleyball im in two groups, co-ed and mens. the means team has only lost 1 or 2 games but the co rec team is undefeated going into the playoffs. We should kick ass
Ill let you know more later

Day 1

Wow its been a hard day. I heard news of "attacks" across campus where the victims have died but were still moving around. I heard that the only form of identification is a bandanna that the remaining survivors wear around their legs or arms. I saw a few people arm themselves and i had to do so myself. I loaded up with a 35 shot with decent range and accuracy to take out the infected. All i hope is that I will survive to see day 2. I will be in contact with remaining humans such as Ben, Steve, dave, danielle and Chich. I hope that the 6 of us can come up with a plan of survival. If you read this post and are still alive please contact me so that we can all survive this together and make it out alive. Tomorrow will be my first real test because i will be traveling alone to class in the morning hours.
To all those still alive, I wish you luck
Robert

Witches teet!

3-3
Thats the best record the Gunx have had at a tournament. Due to a hurt thumb, I was stuck on the sideline both days. There was some problems that I noticed while watching and keeping stats.

Day 1:
Game 1: New Paltz vs. RPI "Z"
We started late due to some mix ups with the schedule but we started up after getting a very nice long warm up/self scrimage. We came out hard and scored first. The game was close all the way but we pulled ahead at hard cap to win 7-5. Ben Handbloacked Chetti!! TWICE!!! Alex Pinn had some beautiful cuts and catches and threw 2 goals to Brendan for a freshman connection. All in all we payed well but had some silly mistakes and bad drops. O BTW Doober loves "DA BLADE".

Game 2: New Paltz vs. Clarkson High Dive
After an hour and a half bye we got to play again and we came out fired up from our previous win against RPI. Im not sure about this game or the next but I do know that we lost.

Game 3: does not exist

Game 4: New Paltz vs. Purchase
Purchase got skullfucked and yet we had a bast. I realized that we play our best when we are having fun more then when we are trying to beat a team that angers us.

day 2:
Game 1: New Paltz vs. sienna
Great start to this game came out 3-0, going to half was a tad closer but we came out on top. I thought we played really well but could have been a tad better on the handle.

Game 2: New paltz vs union
god game couldnt get o working was a loss
