Lacrosse

    Unlike many people, lacrosse is one of my favorite sports. Sadly, not many people like it or even know about it so it's not too popular. It's very hard to find a league near where I live. This sport involves these things called sticks that have a shaft and a head to throw, catch, and shoot the ball. The ball is about the size of a tennis ball and is rubber and kind of heavy.

(These are two lacrosse sticks.)

The official lacrosse league is called the MLL. My favorite team are the New York Lizards simply because they're so good and they have my favorite/best player on the team, Paul Rabil. Paul Rabil is a professional player that's 6'3 and the age of 29. He's sponsored by many companies and also won many lacrosse championships and tournaments. This most recent lacrosse season, he was newly drafted to the New York Lizards and that same season he won the championship and got MVP.

The game of lacrosse is rapidly growing and I believe more people should play the game. If you are interested in the game, checkout an awesome youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/TheLacrosseNetwork that shows the game at it's finest.

Getting My iPhone 6 Plus

    So one day my dad decided to go to Fry's to checkout some phone cases that he wanted. My mom offered for me to go with him but I didn't really want to go. She told me that my dad got a new car so I wanted to see it. I decided to just go with him and look around Fry's to see what's there. My mom tagged along with us too. She new that I've been wanting the new iPhone for a while. I went to see the size of it and compare it to my old phone but they said that someone stole the iPhones on display so I couldn't do that. Then we realized that the mall is just across the street and we can go to the Apple Store to see it. So we went and the store was packed to the brim.

    I went to see the phone and my first impressions were that this phone is AMAZING! I was looking at it and comparing it and my mom said that I've been a "good boy" and that I deserve to buy the phone on the spot there! So I bought the phone and I had extra cash on me so I decided to take my mom to Jamba Juice as a little thank you gift. After that we went back home and I unboxed the phone and transferred all my stuff. That's it the end of the blog, hope you enjoyed!

Shattered Apple Watch

    So as many of  you know, I have an Apple Watch. It's 42 millimeters and it's the gold sport edition. What many of you don't know is that it cracked one day.

Yes, it cracked. it was so bad to the point that you can see the little chip on the inside. Now in this blog I will tell you how it happened and what happened after. So one average day, I took my watch to P.E. and at the time I always took my watch to P.E. Sometimes I would let my friends play with it when I'm playing basketball but I wasn't playing basketball this day. Mr. A (my P.E. teacher) said we were beginning the tennis unit so I decided to go and practice my forehand and backhand hits. I was wearing my watch then and my and someone else with an apple watch were playing. These girls accidentally threw their handball over their court and onto mine and I wanted to practice my strong backhand hits so with the tennis racket, I hit the handball over to the other side and somehow my tennis racket hit the bottom right corner of my watch. I went to check the time just to see that my nearly $500 watch was shattered. I was very sad and many people came to help me and told me to go get it fixed at weird places that I've never heard of. My friend called the Apple Store and setup an appointment so I can go in and tell me my next step. So 2 days later, I go in, I show the people working there the watch, and they say ask my a few questions like "Is it still functional?" and I replied with "Yes" because everything still worked. The guy working there went and showed his manager to make his final decision and decided to just take the old one, give me a new one, all for free, which is actually worth $229. They shipped in a new watch face about a week later and just replaced it with the old band. I was very thankful for Apple doing everything for me free. The lesson I learned from this is that you should NEVER wear a watch to P.E. Especially when it's an expensive smart watch and you're playing tennis. Hope you enjoyed!
