life

lonely

Never

No one thinks I can

do it.  I am all alone. 

I run this race with no

one by my side.  I

motivate myself.  I

have looked for a partner

to run with, but no one

 can seem to run at my pace. 

It is up to me to believe

and run the race of my life

for my life.  I will run to a place

where no one has run to before. 

In the end my joints will hurt

and my shoes will be bald. 

I will look at where I am and

smile with all the glory

that the race deserves. 

Then I will lay there and rest. 

Some people might make it

after me, but will stare

at me and nod at how hard

I worked.  I worked!  I will look

up at them and wink.  I will die

 in that place, making it better

 for the next person to run there.

Hopefully, they will go farther

than I have ever dreamed.

I lived a lonely life and that has been the best and worst part of my life.  It has taught me to be different and to look at the different side of things.  To see different sides is to see different worlds.  - Me

Sport

This summer I have been analyzing tons of things and I watched the end Friday Night Lights today.  Many of you are wondering where I am probably going with this, but it is the idea of sport that got me thinking.  Why do we love it?  Just people won't care and just say to themselves "just because", but in honor of my mind I am going to look a little farther into why we love it.  I think the basic things is we use everything at one time.  We use our minds and our physical prowess to succeed at something that challenges every aspect of our lives.  Another reason is because it shows true character.  Will you be there for your friend or teammate in a time of need?  Will you want the ball all the time or will you understand the point of a team will achieve more than an individual any day the week?  Yes, there are individual stars, but do they win championships without a team?  No, Micheal Jordan had Scottie Pippen and the rest of the Bulls.  We honor individuals with trophies of signifcant acheivment, but we honor each other with teamwork and respect on the field of play.  Especially here in America if you look individual sports are not that important over here.  Golf, tennis, and ping pong are popular games we all play, but are they in the top 4 sports in America.  I think not.  I think that order would be football, basketball, baserball and yes, nascar.  Yeah, I said it Nascar.  That is somewhat of individual sport, but you have the pit crew and the all the other people helping you out in the pit area.  

OK back to why most of us love sports.  Is there anything more beautiful than a team working perfectly towards the same goal?  Man made I would say there is probably nothing more beautiful. 

My final point is that one word describes why we care about sports so much especially in a male point of view.  The word love.  Love, just think about it.  It causes us to stress, smile, cheer, and kiss.  It is raw human emotion it gives to us.  How many times have you found yourself pumping your fist or smiling for some team you never heard of beating someone on a last second shot.  Why?  Because you see that team smiling, crying, and celebrating in a a community of love for one thing and that is sport.  Sport is a competive aspect of humans and it gives you raw human actions and emotions.  How could you not love something as pure as the basics of humans?  So love and do it.  If you don't love sports try them or just watch them.  They will seep in your heart some how because you cannot deny a smile of pure joy.

Never
