Take a look at a blog from two years ago and you’ll find me in more or less in the same space I am now. Perhaps worse. The difference is a thunderous awareness of what is holding me back and, honestly, who I have been over the last twenty years or so. I think I had my own flashpoint back in college when I made choices that took me one direction as opposed to the other, and along the chosen path I sacrificed a lot of the passion I have for the important things in life.
Such as?
That is a post for another day, and a conversation that I need to develop more in order to determine how to move forward.
Some Thoughts:
- Darelle Revis is having the worst year of his HOF football career. He has been horrible in coverage and worse as a tackler, both hallmarks of his game. 80% of balls thrown his way are completed passes. He’s given up short routes, first down routes, deep routes… He ought to give back his cleats.
- If likes are the bellweather of the attention one gets online then I have received 0 attention since October 15th. I don’t always check these things and clearly don’t measure whether or not I write or what I write based on likes, but as a feeling human, it does suck.
- As a writer, I have thick enough skin to deal.
- We are on our way to the Semi-finals of the AZ-AYF Mighty Mite Youth Football Playoffs. That is a mouthful. We face the West Valley Bandits, last year’s national champions and the odds on favorite to do big things again this year. However, we have the better team. So long as we manage our players and stay healthy, we got this.
