Its out there its up there and its done #54

I am sure many of you have been waiting anxiously by your computers to see when I was actually going to complete one of my goals. Well it finally happened yesterday evening I completed number 54, which was to hit a home run in c0-ed softball. To explain this story it is important to highlight an important fact to be noted. An interesting thing with co-ed softball is that there are two different balls that are used. There is a ball that is used for guy and ball that is used for girls. The main difference is that the guys ball is bigger and not as hard as opposed to the girls ball which is harder and smaller.

Ok now on with the story.

It started in the bottom of the sixth inning, we come up to bat down by one run. I am the lead of hitter for the inning. I grap a new bat, the name of the Bat was Crush (like Orange Crush, that is why the font color is orange) Then with the first pitch the ball goes back, back, back, and still back, and then it is out of the park. As I am making my way around the bases, I was like wow I really hit that good and that came off the bat really good. It sored over the left field fence. This tied the game. We then went on to win the game.

Goal 32

Sing a Solo in Church:

This goal is probably going to become a reality. Thanks to a brilliant move by one Jason D. who arranged with Julie R. to give me a solo the next time the ward choir sings in sacrament meeting. This may be the goal that I am most terrified to complete. I am OK with giving a talk in church and anywhere else for that fact. I think I am OK with it because I am confident that I can do it, but to sing is another issue all together. I know I can't sing and am fearful that is experiement will fail, much like the Shaq trade to the Phoenix Sun. Even thinking about the propisiton to sing in a church sacrament scares me to death. It might be because of my insecruites or just fear of the unknown but this may be the most difficult thing I have ever thought about trying.

I am hoping that the support of my friends will allow me to accomplish this goal (I belive this is the hardest of my goals), I know I have many accomplished singing friends who have a great talent to sing, and admittedly I am jealous of this talent. I know I usually make fun of those people and call them music elitistists (there may be some truth to that) but I do have a great apprecation for what they do know. It may this sudden realization that fear is about wack me aross the face with a flying nerf ball of death and destruction. I would now like to reach out to my musically gifted friends and ask for your support and help. Any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated and I hope that with all of your support I can accomplish this.
