I wasn’t as good as this guy, but one of my most favorite things I learned while in high school was how to turn a ball of dough into pizza crust. Okay, it was at Domino’s, but at least when I worked there, we had to stretch the dough out on the counter, slpa it bewtween in our hands, toss it in the air, and then fit it on the screen. It is one of those things that i could still do if you asked me to…and do it correctly. I just think it is such a cool process and tossing it in the air is a very satisfying experience. I guess that is weird to say, but I guess that is just the Lester Burnham in me talking.

No…this is not about the movie. Strangely, it is about a game I used to play when I was a kid that is really dodgeball. I guess I always thought dodgeball was the game you played while lined up againsy a wall, but as a I found out from Wikipedia…dodgeball is murderball. Why do I bring it up? Well, I love games, and this was always one of my favorites. It is simple. It is challenging physcially…you really get your whole body involved. In some ways, it is challenging mentally. Plus, anyone can figure out the rules quick and join in. I know dodgeball has this stigma attached to it where the strong dominate the weak, but I never see it that way. If everyone plays it respectfully (I guess that is a lot to ask), it can be really engaging. and ont all about just hitting people with a ball. I think getting the amount of people on the floor is key. I think 10 (like the movie) is too small, but I have seen games where there are like 75 people and that is too large. If each side has 10 people, that makes it interesting to me. I miss it…
