Boys In Spandex

That time of year is finally here! (That rhymed, unintentional) You know when you start smelling turkey and cookies, the clouds in the sky threaten with snow but it never happens when you want it to, christmas music plays wherever you go, and houses are all dolled up, that it is FINALLY wrestling season! (: Wrestling is my favorite sport, and for those of you who don't know me, I was a team manager all through high school. Some of my favorite memories were on wrestling trips, but I won't get into that...could be dangerous!
Why is wrestling my favorite sport? Let me list the reasons:
  • muscley boys in spandex
  • two muscley boys in spandex at once!
  • it might be a team sport, but it's induvidual
  • you get to see what all the "tough guys" are really made of
  • the team is like a family..
  • WHS coaches rock!! Well, I guess all coaches rock, I just love Kerry and Gordy
  • Tournaments!! (AKA we get to stay in motel rooms, like a mini vacation!)
  • did I mention, the boys?
Wrestling boys are so much, I don't know the correct word to put here without sounding like an idiot...politer, nicer,caring...than boys from other teams. Don't get offended, but really, I was also a cheerleader so I know how not very nice the boys on the basketball team can be..are.
Wrestling boys are so much more built in so many different ways than basketballers. Because in wrestling, if you are not using every muscle in your body, you ain't wrestling! And this is where I start to wonder..did the dudes who invent wrestling wear singlets just to show off? I mean I can understand and I FULLY appreciate the fact that they wear spandex, but pardon me founders of wrestling ghosts if you are reading this, that is a little bit cocky. Don't you think? Some of the boys on my team would wear their singlets all day everyday if they could just to show off what they got! There wouldn't be any complaints from the girls, believe me, but the dudes that aren't wrestlers would get jealous and it would turn in to a big huge fist fight...if we are lucky.
I feel very blessed to say that I got to spend the most part of my winters in High School surrounded by awesome men..with great bodies. (;
