enforcing the special people?

I am a special enforcer

Yeah, a special enforcer. Well at least, that’s what my coach called all the benchwarmers last year; and it being my freshman year, I guess you could say I was proud of that. You know, it almost sounds like a superhero right? And the rare chance I would get on the floor, I would feel like here I was, saving the day. Okay, so granted when I did get on the floor, we would probably be up by like a thousand or so, but still, they wanted my awesome defense to make it even less of a game by shutting down whichever post I was guarding. I knew I was liked, mainly because our fans would scream and holler whenever I was subbed in and, God forbid I got the ball and scored; we’d have to shut the place down.

By the end of the year, I achieved the ‘Special Enforcer of the Year’ award, and though it isn’t recognized with ESPN, it was pretty big within the special enforcers I knew, and that was okay in my books. I didn’t get an award, I didn’t get a plaque, no streamers or balloons, I didn’t even get a friggin’ cake – but, within the special enforcer community around the world, I was thee best one.

That was pretty much my freshman year – plus or minus a few nights I may or may not remember (which I cannot talk about because I promised myself I’d keep this strictly PG rated) – but that was freshman year; simply a blur.


Well, anyway, here I am. The end of my sophomore year, and I’m blogging. Why? Well. Why not? I was watching ‘Julie and Julia’ in a desperate attempt to drown out my suitemates fornication sounds and was instantly intrigued (not with the fornication sounds, with the movie). Not only ‘cause it was about food, my number one favorite pastime, but because, well, she was writing about it and people were enjoying it. Now, personally, I can’t guarantee that my life is more interesting than that of an aspiring chef; but I might as well try right? Not to mention I love to write, and this is a great way to tune out my professors when I am obviously not paying attention in class.


So sit back, relax, and have a kit kat. This could be the most boring and un-updated blog you’ve ever read; or, it could change your lives in ways you’d never imagine.

…because everyone is a special enforcer at heart; some just choose to get on the court.
