Keep on rolling baby!

I am very tired sick of excuses! So my Derby Team has a bout in a couple of days! And like a good supporter i am trying to get all my friend and family to go. I mean even if you have no idea about derby! We all can agree that its a hell of a show to watch. On top of which my team is giving out FREE BEER at our bouts. So like i said i try to get my friends/family to go. And Every Single one of them (Except my Husband and BF)Give me this answer: "I'm only going to come out when you are playing" So my answer is "Well sorry i am on the "B" Team, but its still fun and you should come out to watch. Its cheaper than a movie and more entertaining". But i still get shot down! And its really getting on my last nerve, especially most of them go every other weekend to see our local ice hockey team. "So you are telling me, you rather go to a hockey team where you don't know any of the players than support your friend". At this point i just stop asking them. because i am just tired!

Now on the other hand i have a super great derby sister support system that is always there and loves me for what i am. And trust me i am not judging people because they like or don't like derby! But at least give it a chance, if you don't like it i will be the last one to force you into something you don't want to do. But stop making excuses and give it a try!

–noun
1.cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a group of persons acting together as a team or in the interests of a common cause"

So I have never played team-sports as a child or in High School. First time i entered a TEAM was when i joined Roller Derby. That's when i notices how important team work really is. It does not matter if you are the star of the team, what matters is, that if you don't show up for practice you will miss out on the bond that your team builds up over time. Or if you play in 2 - 3 leagues and bout for everyone who wants you on there team, that's just a great way of whoring yourself out. It also means that you don't care about any of those teams and just want to win. Now trust me winning is great, but I rather lose as a team than win as a individual in a Team.

So even thou i am fairly new to Derby and being a member of a Team. All I can say that My Team is an extension of my family. We have our up's and downs, but as long as we stick together we still have family. And i take that any-day over a win!

Well hopefully soon, I survived my work week and now its time to get mentally and physically ready for tomorrows bout. Been eating healthy all day and hydrating like crazy. Also my inner thigh is pretty sore (not sure at all from what) but i will stretch / and heat it, so I'm ready to go for tomorrow. I am very confident we will win and lets hope no one will get hurt. So I'm off for the weekend with some moist heat and a positive attitude!

So i like i said i'm still brand spanking new to blogging. I keep thinking is there a way of not putting to much information out there or not enought. When i go onto other peoples helpful DIY blogs i always think "hmm this is not what mine looks like"

But hey baby-steps! Tonight i have Derby Practice! this will be the last practice before my bout this Saturday. Its an Away game and the drive is about 5 hours. i am not looking forward to that one. I do however am very confident that we will beat the crap out of them.

Alrighty i have to go back to work now! Economy is a bitch and i have to be productive to keep my job.
