We went to home depot and bought some white and black spray paint. Our plan was to put some fresh coats on this bad boy and give it to my mom for a birthday present. That way she can take it up to the condo in Augusta and find a cozy little nook for it up there.
"In 1970 Robert Kraft came back home to South Beach from Nashville and Las Vegas, where he tried to make it as a songwriter. He started running with some boxers from the 5th Street Gym and slowly built up to 8 miles. He made a New Years resolution to run 8 miles a day for one year starting on January 1st, 1975. He found the benefits mentally, physically and spiritually were all positive, so he kept running 8 miles a day on the sands of South Beach....He has ran everyday since. (never missing a day). Over 700 runners ranging in age from 9 to 79, from over 60 different countries and 48 states have completed at least one 8 mile run with him. Everyone who completes the 8 miles gets a nickname and is added to The Raven List. This is a run, not a race although many of the Raven Runners train for races, Raven trains to come back tomorrow. Raven has the longest known world running streak on the sand and in the same location. He has seen every sunset, never been caught in rush hour traffic and turned what was a negative into a positive becoming an inspiration to others." 
Welp,....this past Saturday I can honestly say I had the single most bestest time at a sporting event ever! Me and 5 dudes played in a Dodgeball Tournament put on by Chick-Fil-a at the Atlanta Silverbacks Stadium in the ATL. There were close to 80 teams from all over who were there to try and win the grand prize. The prize was 500 dollars and chick-fil-a value meals for a year. The free food is like diamonds....I mean who doesn't eat there once a week? After we went 6 and 1 in pool play, we climbed our way through the single-elimination bracket to the semi-finals. The semis and the championship game were played on the center court in front of everybody to see. It was a little nerve racking....not to mention my adrenaline had been pumping at full force since the day before! We won the Semi-final game pretty quickly....and now it was on to the Finals. By the way, our team name was "Me Throw Stuff," and we played the championship against "O'Doyle Rules." Our team consisted of Me, Kevin Lamb, Ben Clifton, Andrew Dow, Cole Taylor, and Keith Wages. We were down 4 players to 2 with 1:27 left to go. Somehow our team managed to knock two players out and even the score with less than 30 seconds to go. Unwilling to throw the final balls, both teams held onto to them to force an overtime. Overtime is pretty complicated, so I will save you the legal matters and go straight to the action. Basically, they had a chance to throw at us....they missed......we took our chance to throw at them.....BULLSEYE! Game...Set...Match! We won the tourney and have been feasting on Chick-Fil-A ever since!
