First:
This was an epic weekend. . . an end of an era. It's taken me, literally, all my life to accomplish but, now, it is done. I can finally rest.

I'm talking about completing my Star Wars collection. The first episode (Episode IV) originally opened in May of 1977. I was not born yet but I'm pretty sure I was begging to come to earth. By some mix up in paperwork, I had to wait to be born on November 29, 1978 (hint hint) and so I missed opening day then. But for the last 3 episodes (Episodes I, II, & III) I was able to make opening night. I've also been able to get my Star Wars DVDs in order too. Until saturday night, my collection wasn't complete. Now it is. I can rest assured that I have the Led Zepplin of movies. It's been a life long duty to finish the collection but now I can turn my attention to other lesser endevors, like school, or some junk like that.

My chest has been hurting for the past couple of days. In some instances there has been slight pain when I breath. When I press my chest right over my heart area, it hurt. It hurt to sit up, it hurt to lay on my side, it hurt stretching. I've been puzzled as to what it could be. My arm left arm wasn't in pain, so it's not a slow moving heart attack or anything like that. So I was at the Manti temple on Saturday for a friend's wedding and Bishop Freestone was there. I told him about it and he said that it was probably my ribs a bit separated from my breastplate. Whew! I thought it was something serious. A couple saturdays ago was the last of my team's intramurals soccer games. During the game, one of the opposing team's strikers got through my defense, but luckily, the ball got too far ahead of him. It was pretty much a similar situation to when I tore my ACL. I ran out of my box to get the ball, he was en route. I had just enough time to kick the ball before we collided. My hand was caught between him and my chest. The IMPORTANT thing was I saved the goal, but I guess that's when it separated. After doing push ups a few days after the game, I started to feel pain. I guess the push ups aggrivated it and it started hurting. Now it's getting better and I'm sure I will be good for next semester's soccer season.
Chalk another soccer injury for me.

I've learned to not play catch with a Hand Grenade.
