New Favorite Sport

I've developed a new favorite sport - played Dodgeball in a bar with a bunch of my teammates the other night. SO FUN. Maybe it was because it was my first time off the base since I got here to San Diego.

A bunch of us piled in my friend's car (and I mean piled - 8 of us fit in a Range Rover - we have limited cars here) and drove out to a bar by Mission Bay which has Sunday night dodgeball tournaments. Yup, just like in the movie. A lot of serious players who apparently play in tournaments in Vegas. We rolled up, signed up two teams of four, and immediately got all nervous about getting embarrassed by dodgeball players. Which of course happened, but still, it was awesome. It's amazing how much adrenaline you can get winging those rubber balls at people. We ended up winning two and losing six games, one of our losses to a bunch of scary looking girls wearing t-shirts that said 'F*** Like A Porn Star' (seriously). BUT, we managed to take out the best team in the tournament - pure luck, but we'll take it. The MVP was definitely my buddy Wyatt Allen's girlfriend Rachel Jeffers - somehow she was always the last one left our team and won us a couple of games.

Regardless, the sight of a bunch of oversized rowers playing dodgeball must have been highly amusing to anyone watching. I can guarantee we will back, keep an eye out for us in the dodgeball circles.
