I am watching a 19 yr old kid run the world’s hardest obstacle course on American Ninja Warrior. The show has an amazing following both here and in Japan (not the American version). It is part of a larger movement that includes the Spartan Race and other obstacle-based situations where people are building their lives around non-traditional sports. I think that this is becoming the very new and very social-media aged version of competition. I thin it aligns with the long rise of E-sports and takes control of the sports industry away from the few and puts it into the hands of the many much like Skating did many many years ago.
Some Thoughts:
- Yeah, that was it. I’m flat out done with the main post tonight. I need more time to decompress. I haven’t had a lot of time and energy to do much over the last few days because I am getting sick.
- I am also getting into the routine of the fall semester. It is a lot of busy work but I am happy.
- Now I have not entirely gotten into the swing of daily writing again. That is the next step.
- I need to put more focus on the words, yo.
