attracted life polarizing
I'm attracted to polarizing characters who upend the civility of life.
ball defense drop far moved played seniors silly
Our defense has played well, but we've got to put the ball in the end zone. We moved the ball well tonight, but we'd get so far and then make a silly mistake. We are a little down after the loss, but our seniors won't let us drop as a team.
depth kids pleased
Overall, I've been pleased after our two scrimmages. We've just got to get some depth so these kids can get a breather. But I think the kids are doing fine. We just want to get better each game.
extra free gym happy honored members sign warm
All members of Powerhouse Gym will be honored for free at no extra cost. If we make them happy and give them a warm welcome, then they'll sign back up with us. If they don't, that's fine.
characters inhabit
It's fun when you create a world to inhabit it and see the other characters from grounds eye view.
next week
Next week is a big week. It's championship week.
anytime ball club good kept marshall took whoever
Whoever had the ball kept it. Marshall took the ball and drove. Anytime you give a good club like Marshall that much time they are going to do something with it.
bring giving last playoffs step trying
We need her to step up and play like she did in the playoffs last year. She's been a spark. We're trying to bring her off the bench, but she's giving us what we need.
adventure men sweat
I've never been to the Oscars, but if I was ever invited to the Oscars, I would have this weird paranoia of terrorism. It just feels like The Poseidon Adventure, everyone in their tuxes. Somehow, I feel like the whole time I would be looking for where the nearest exit was, and in a cold sweat about some kind of man-made disaster, like a terrorist strike or something. It seems like such a scary, claustrophobic proposition.
running horse trying
I'm not really a director or producer for hire. There's lots of big gigs out there, but I'm not looking to do that. Usually, when I'm directing or producing, I've written it myself. I'm not really trying to get on some big horse that's running through town. I just make my own stuff.
nice people challenges
As you get older, you realize just figuring out how to be nice to the people in your personal sphere is almost more challenging than trying to change the bigger culture.
buddhist yoga book
I have had moments where I've had mental-health issues and I've felt like yoga and meditating and reading these Buddhist self-help books actually really help.
people life-is conversation
I feel like so much of my life is about a conversation I'm having with myself. I do interact with other people, but often I'm more interested in what I'm learning in the relationship I have with myself.
people shoulders thousand
I don't feel the breath of a thousand people over my shoulder.
