Civil Obedience

Today in Lifetime Sports we played golf. It was probably only 73 degrees out but my feet..... they were so hot. I was wearing my red vans and non-elastic business socks which was a horrible combination for lifetime sports. I asked Coach Briggs if I do the golf thang in my bare feet. He said, "sure if you want points off your average".

I honestly don't understand why the class is required to wear shoes while leisurely hitting wiffle balls around on the grass. My instinct was to disobey my teacher civilly because I felt the necessity of shoes during such an activity is a dumbski rule. For some reason, however, I did not disobey Coach Briggs. Maybe it was because I did not want it to be a hassle for him. I'm sure that he would have been annoyed if I took my shoes off. I think it's because his warning of point deduction would appear futile. But I am also almost positive that he didn't truly think the shoe policy was correct. He was just doing it so as not to get in trouble with the administration, should he get caught with one of his students shoeless.

Rules for the sake of rules are weird. There's my original teenager thought for the day.

The SONG of the day is Protect Ya Neck [Bloody Version] by the Wu-Tang Clan.

"It's the Method Man for short Mr. Meth
Movin on your left, aah!
And set it off, get it off, let it off like a gat
I wanna break full, cock me back"

....?.... BLAH
