The time is finally here, it happens to everyone, the end of a season. It's time to hang your uniforms, put away your shoes, clean on your lockers, lock up your belongings, and well move on. For me its been a long time coming, there have been spurts of it here and there, an off 3 or 4 months where I was on sick leave, a period of 3 1/2 years where I was no where to be found. But now I've made it official, I'm retiring from the game that I love. I know there are many skeptics out there, and talks of comparing me to "Brett Favre" are not to misplaced, but like MJ did to basketball sometimes you feel like you need to go out on top and try different things. So here it is, my decision, I'm hanging up the galfing cleats, putting my clubs away in the garage, and going out into the world of the relationship. Wish me well...
Big news I must admit, and a hard decision it was. Galfing has always been there for me, through thick and thin. Its helped me discover all I can about myself and turned me into a fine tuned and well oiled competitor. So why then do I leave the game behind, well its simply to explore the possibility of a new future. I've always believed that if you're going to try something, if you're going to make a play or a gamble, then well like the ex-coach would say you need to go "all in." So that's exactly what I plan on doing, going all in. I mean I don't expect much of my behavior to change, flirting with friends and other people comes naturally to me so turning that off would be "implossible" but at least I won't be playing on new courses anymore, just looking. Looking is in our, well definitely my nature but there's no harm to it and I'll do my best to keep it just at looks.
Going back to Mich was a great time. I won't spend time on the details or anything but if you want to know any stories you can always ask me. Basically it was like things never changed, the people sure, but the lifestyle not at all. It was still me Cassie Kenzo et company against the world and like always Ricks won it's fair share of rounds. There's something about getting on stage at Ricks, looking out at the bar and dancing some semi-choreographed dance that will never get old. But you know the trip back was so much more than that, it helped me realize that you can still have some strong friendships and bonds without being in such close proximity as I was used to, and really it inspired me to keep in closer touch with all the 1502 alum. I mean these days I'm saving money and planning all sorts of extravagant trips to meet up with my old running mates and I am excited for the possibilities the future holds for all of us...
As for Business, it did not go so well. For a couple of weeks I was fighting with UM to release my transcripts so I could complete my grad school apps for next fall. Well they had good cause to keep them since I had a couple hundred bucks left to pay off on my bill but i was literally two weeks away( next paycheck) from doing so and long story short they weren't really working with me. So now my plan to head down the counseling psychology path next fall will have to wait a year, a whole year. That was tough for me to hear and put a big damper on my overall life plan, but then again I'm used to set backs and let downs so it doesn't deter me from my ultimate goal at all. What I'll do is keep pressing forward, maybe look at some GA coaching positions like Mike D and find a way to get myself where I want to go, basically all this means is more work for the time being, which leads to more saving, when then results in more trips, which has the inevitable end of more fun times....so like Kenzo likes to say I'm a glass half-full kind of guy.
Another thing the Mich trip taught me was that I'm still awesome. Ha I don't mean that in a conceited way I've just been watching so much "How I Met Your Mother" thanks to Jack baby and Saint that it's hard for me not to make references to it in almost anything I say. If you haven't seen you show I STRONGLY advise it, one of the most entertaining programs on network TV to date. But I wanted to try two things after my HIMYM binge, the "Naked Man" and buying a suit. Barney from the show, Neil Patrick Harris, always wears a suit and well no homo but he wears them well. I realized that I have yet to purchase my own first adult suit so thats one of the next things on my agenda....As for the "Naked Man" it's something I've done before and well the 2/3 success ratio is no joke. If you want to know what it is, then I suggest you check out this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pim_pzTiu6Y to get a basic picture.
Well my first order of business is to change the name of the girl you've all come to remember and love as 45, I shall hence call her by her first name Kerry. I've played the game so well, let's see how I do in retirement. Well I gotta go do some shopping for my house(buying things not an actual house) so I'll check back in later.
