Mud Volleyball 2013

I have a distant childhood memory. It was me playing in the mud. I had never done that before. I hated it.
There was no point, you feel gross sitting in it, takes forever to clean it off. No more mud for me.

Fast forward X years, I'm off to Mud Volleyball (proof your 5 year old self shouldn't be allowed to make vows).

It was a blast!

The mud is thick enough it sticks to you, but thin enough you don't feel sick running through it. And man, did it stick to me!

I was staying fairly clean (mostly accidentally) until I got rushed by 5 friends with the soul goal of soaking me. They succeed.

After 2 rounds with my team, we were eliminated from competition. 38-7 losses do that I guess!!! That being said, it was a blast losing. How often is losing fun?!?!

That's not even mentioning the awesome show from Anthem For Today! They did hits like Falling Asleep At The Wheel, Earthquake and A Little Louder. Plus, they covered Switchfoot and Relient K!

If you  and your youth group like fun, definitely sign up for next years romp in the dirt. You wont regret it!

TL:DR - Just watch this video -

For Future Olympics

The Olympics (love 'em or hate 'em) are going back into their top secret sports cave to hibernate for another 4 years.

While it's in its traditional slummer, it usually thinks up some new events for the next time it rears it's head in public. To save it some thought, I have compiled a list of events I'd like to see added.

Paintball - I've never tried it, however the thought of watching the thrill and strategy of paintball on t.v is very alluring. Plus, the commentators would be hilarious. 

Chess - It may sound  crazy, but it will work! Think about it. All the thrill and strategy of chess on t.v! Plus, the commentators would be even more hilarious!

Football - No, not soccer. American football. Not only would this provide the U.S or Canada with an extra metal, but it would cause a fair bit of confusion as to what to call it vs. soccer.

Controversy - This will be a hit, which team will score the most controversy earning them a medal? Not only will the fans love it, the tabloids will too! 

Planking - Even tough it's not as hip as it once was, planking is a great option for the Olympics! Metals are awarded to the athlete with the most original and difficult plank. (owling is also an option)

There you have it! My 5 new Olympic sports for next year... or in 4 years... same thing....
