Marcus, Natalie, and Myself at Cottlesloe Beach
Cottlesloe Beach
Outdoor Movie Theatre in the park, Real Sweet!
Middle School kids we taught clinics too...They have to wear these ugly hats!Just over a week before the season begins, and we are both ready to roll. It’s a weird feeling because even though I have played, I have “officially” played a game since Branson last March. Which before I go on, I have to congratulate my Lancers on a great season and making it back to Branson! I think I was more nervous this year than I was last year! It was funny because Marcus and I were glued to the broadcast of the other championship games at 10 in the morning here, yelling at the computer ha-ha. But after all that, we are going back and I know they will do well. So congrats again guys! We have a scrimmage game tonight against one of the other teams, but our visas wont be cleared until this weekend. So unfortunately we are stuck just practicing and sitting out the games. I kind of feel bad two because some of the guards that have to play are young and very inexperienced and they look so nervous! But they are learning so they will be just fine.
Lately we have been doing a lot of exploring and checking out the city. We went to Cottlesloe Beach, which was very cool. Here are some pictures to check it out. We have also spent some time at Natalie’s place, swimming and eating about anything you can possibly BBQ. Nope, having had a kangaroo yet, but they say they are delicious. However, I am starting to think that Australians are a bunch of liars because I haven’t seen one yet! I guess we have to go more inland because they don’t travel that close to the ocean. Hmm…maybe I’ll just go to the zoo.
So random story…I was riding on the train the other day and sat next to a middle aged man. He was listening to his Ipod while I was trying to ready a map of the city. I was trying to see what he was listening too because he kept on laughing to himself. The funny thing was that he kept trying to hide his laughter but couldn’t, and kept giggling like he just stole candy or something. I couldn’t help it, so I started laughing along with him, and I didn’t even know what he was laughing about. This continued for about 20 minutes until he finally got off the train because he was in tears. It was seriously one of those times that you just laugh and you have NO reason to what so ever. Best train ride so far!
Another random story that I thought was funny. I was lifting the other day and have become friends with the guy who is the manager at one of the fitness places here in Perth. We were at the front when I was getting ready to leave just talking and he made the comment, “Hey your little brother is upstairs lifting if you didn’t know.” I was like you mean my twin? He continued to tell me that he thought Marcus was 17 years old…Apparently I am either overweight ha or he is just too skinny. As we continue talking we go into his office and I begin to ask him about some weight supplements and where to find the best kind. He lets me know that the best thing to do is go through him because he can get the cheapest prices. First he pulls out a protein mix and says, “Here is the top protein that you can purchase right now. Runs about 80 bucks a month.” Then he picks up another tub and says, “Here is the best weight controller out at the moment, this is a little bit more expensive but it will help you during the season. I can probably get you a month supply for about 100 bucks or so.” I said alright what else (making it seem like I would actually spend that kind of money for things like this. The next part I was speechless. He continues saying…and I quote, “Now between you and me, if you want to really bulk up, I mean really maximize your full potential then there is this.” He reaches in his gym bag and pulls out a small bottle filled with some type of clear liquid. Confused I asked him what it was. He says, “This is growth hormone. Kinda expensive but it’ll turn you into a horse!” Now, there is no way in the world I’m taking grown hormone but…since I was there I decided to jokingly ask him some questions. I asked him how much it would cost and he tells me that this bottle (which was no bigger than a finger nail polish bottle) cost around 1,300 dollars! I started to choke on my gum because he caught me so off guard. He told me that he would have to get with a few guys but he could have it for me in a couple weeks. Hmm first off I don’t care if I look like Hulk Hogan, I’m not spending 1,300 dollars on anything like that. Secondly, this stuff actually looks like it will actually turn you into a horse…and that can’t be good. I’ll be growing hooves in a month. Also, I’m not exactly sure the League will enjoy there players being on growth hormone. Not sure how they do things here in Aussieland, but back home this stuff isn’t exactly taken very well. I think I’ll stick to drinking milk! Hey, at least I’m bigger than my little brother right? Ha enjoy the pics, chat with you soon!
