Do I Care too much about Sports?

My Lakers are the High School Tease. The chick with the nice tits, which you get to touch but not go up her shirt, let alone actually get to see them.

Thats right they have lost to another bad team again and just after they managed to beat San Antonio & Detroit within the past week.How do you beat the two best teams in the league and then lose to a bad team? Mental Errors. Simply put this team is young and they dont have the mental toughness to stay consistent. And now Mihm is gone from what looked like a season ending ankle sprain.

It has gotten me to wondering.

Do I have the mental toughness to stick through the winable challenges which will inevitably face me through the pursuit of my dreams? As with all dreams, the first requirement would have to be faith. The big dreams require almost a blind faith. It typically takes so much work to accomplish anything significant, and in order to go through that much effort you usually need to believe in the payoff.

I imagine the true happiness would come if you find the beauty in the voyage regardless of the destination. Don't consume yourself with questions for which you have no certain awnsers for. Just make sure you can be proud of what your working for and how you get there. To overuse another cliche as I love to do. Life is a sport. You use intelect when you can but ultimately it comes back to your readiness and instincts as an animal.


I am about as confident as I think you can be without being a pretentious ass. Yet if I look at my life objectively, I can't deny the fact that there is a conflict there. Meaning my actions don't always illustrate that confidence. For instance; I work a myriad of professions. None of them exactly blue collar, yet I am not likely to make it to the top of my field continuing in this "jack of all trades" fashion. I must focus, I am knocking on 30's door, for god's sake. Okay I do know how ridiculous that may sound(depending on your age), I do know I am young and that most people change professions 5 times (0n average) per lifetime blah blah, blah.

I did have early success in business, but its a double edged sword, the thought of going downhill since 20 is pretty harsh. And I have always expected such huge things from myself its a bit overwhelming at times.

So yeah I think I may be looking a little too deeply into the cosmic connection between my beloved lakers and their youthful lacksidasical (yup that's how you spell it, I looked it up) attitude towards their daily efforts, and my own over all self performance evaluation. I have just decided as I type these very letters down, hereby decree "I will make a big deal out of turning 30".

I always have been a goal oriented type and have held a certain sense of pride in the fact that I can focus on things when I want them. But as I now feel a need to sort of hype myself up a bit in life and my goals.

So how much can I really impact my truly important goals in 1 year 3 months and 3 days?
