Due to the large welt on my shin, as of tonight I vow to:

A) Never play keeper in co-ed campus rec soccer where there are a lot of very fast, skill-less, out of control male strikers.

B) Stop being so cheap and buy myself something a little better than the cheapest available shin guards.

You should see this thing ... it is already sitting a centimeter above my leg. It made me drop the f-bomb (by accident of course) when it happened. Maybe I'll have to post some pics once it turns purple. It may even challenge the 'a-hole biking on the the wrong side of the path' bruise I had last summer.
