The goodness of masculinity

November 08 2006

So last night was pretty much AMAZING!
You know why? Monkey soccer, ladies and gentlemen, monkey soccer, in the rain, full contact.
Last
night a whole bunch of guys in our dorm went to one of the fields at
around midnight, and for two hours we played full contact monkey
soccer, in the cold rain, and it was so FREAKING AWESOME!!!
Basically, you dribble with your hands, and hit people, and slide around in the mud, and have a blast.
Haha, at one point, my RA just out of the blue ( I was nowhere near the ball) just TOOK ME OUT.
I
went flat on the ground, man it was a great hit. And me, being a guy,
got up and was like "Jessi, that was so awesome!" and laughed. Yes,
hitting is.. fun? It's a guy thing.
One problem: my shoulder is killing me right now.
At
the beginning of the night, I went towards the ball, and as i was, an
athletic black guy on our hall, Marquise, was coming too. So I lowered
my body and basically tackled him at the knees. When I did that, he
kind of rolled over on me, and somehow my shoulder got stuck in the
mud, or stretched, or something, but I heard a VERY loud sequence of
pops, kind of like those people you know who can seriously pop their
neck, in my shoulder.
I got up, it hurt, and I had that "my nerves
are tingly numbish, and I know this isn't that good.." I felt to make
sure it wasn't dislocated, it wasn't, otherwise I would have been in
instantaneous agony, so the adrenaline took over, and I went the rest
of the night hitting and being hit, having a blast.
It wasn't until
I took a shower, that the pain started to set in. At one point last
night, I had A VERY sharp pain in my arm, so that I was like "OWW!"
Paul can tell you.
and today it's gotten progressively worse. So
yeah, it kind of sucks, I'll get it checked out, but it WAS SO WORTH
IT! I hope we play again!
Comments anyone? On the stupidity of male bravado? Or just on.. how cool we are!!
