Stuff...

So... I'm bored, an I think I'm just gonna sit here and write whatever comes to my head. This could be interesting. First I have to tell you how excited I am for football season to start. I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see all the drama and passion that comes from football. The teams that I will be following this year are of course BYU and Virginia Tech on the college level and the Cleavland Browns and Indianapolis Colts in the NFL. I love watching those teams just battle it out looking for bragging rights. I watch them and the reruns of games on TV and I just get so excited and full of emotion. sometimes I really do wish that I was the one on that field again. I really do miss playing a lot. I remember playing in high school thinking sometimes that I couldn't wait for it to come to an end only wanting to go right back to it. Just the brotherhood and the emotion and the dedication that it takes to achieve in that, it's amazing. Only in my mission have I been able to feel such a sense of accomplishment that rivals what I felt in my youthful years of playing football. It is the most intriguing sport where everyone has to do just that right thing for anything to happen. During the week you sweat, bleed, get yelled at, get humiliated, and just go through some not so fun moments to go exhaust everything inside of you for two hours once a week. But for those two hours you have the potential to be king. I sometimes wonder if I wouldn't have hurt my knee if I would've been able to keep on playing and how that would of changed me. I guess that really doesn't matter now, what is it how it is, and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a magnificent wife, and promising future, and an understanding that will get me through the rough times. But boy, again, do I miss football. And I know to a few of you that read this you will think that this is ridiculous. How could someone go on so much about a game? This will sound extremely Corny but I will say it, playing this game when I was younger was what taught me some of my most important and valuable lessons of life that I have yet to learn. I have learned about effort, and hard work... about victory, and defeat... I learned how to set goals and dreams, and how to move on if not reached how you hoped... I learned about leadership, and team work.... and about friendship, and brotherhood... and even during my few years playing... I learned many of the hardest and trialing lessons available, and that is about life, and even the difficult lesson about death... and I don't mean that in a figurative way at all. Football is just a game when it comes down to it, yes it is. One where fun is the reason why anyone plays or watches. But to me, and to many others, it really does Carry so much more to it. Only one more month away until kick off baby!

Getting Started

There are a lot of things that I have on my mind. Many of them are things of nonsense, pure play and fun. But there are other things that I honestly do take quite seriously, such as religion, politics, and my own philosophies of life. I know that there are many out there that view my understanding of things as juvenile and uninformative, but it is my view and opinion non the less. Many post will be simple updates of life, others will concern my worries, my frustrations, my victories, and my protests in all walks of life. I've always had an urge for my voice to be heard, and this is my first attempt at doing so in this fashion. Though I doubt that this will become the highlight of anyone's daily reading, I hope to be able to communicate life as I see it.
