Joplin

I'm going up to Joplin tonight to see a friend that I graduated high school with...almost 3 years ago! Him and I have a small past, but its never made any difference. We're still good friends and we talk from time to time. I just told him that we needed to hang out when I came down for spring break and alas, we are. I'm not sure what we're getting into, if anything, but we shall see I guess. Being that its been a few years since we've actually seen eachother and spoke there will likely be a lot of catching up to do - which will surely take up most of the evening. I don't know when I'm driving up there or where I'm going, but I will soon find out. I think I'm meeting some of his friends he's made since playing baseball. I hope he hasn't changed too much. It will likely crush me. I know baseball boys have a reputation and I hate it. I've been around the block a few times with a baseball player or two and its never good. Talk about bad news bears. So I try to avoid those type. Although, I've gotta admit, he's different. He sings and plays guitar amazingly and he enjoys skateboarding. What baseball player is like that? Could someone possibly tell me? The answer is - none. Most ball players I know are all about baseball and hunting and perhaps even country music. I don't know why that is. But he's so much more than that. He doesn't wear camo, he hates country music, and he doesn't surround himself with baseball and baseball only. He doesn't care for video games, so yay no Halo and Call of Duty. I don't know another single player that isn't that way. Maybe I'm just crazy...
