Life is like going over the MiddleOctober 26, 2009


58558140

Yeah I said it. I think I had an epiphany last night while doing some reading at 2am while having SportsCenter blaring in the background. From where I currently stand in my life, there’s definitely going to be some rocky choices in my life. I’m 26, an upstanding & (somewhat) handsome gentleman, with a gregarious personality and a pure sucker for a Jack & Ginger. Please write me off-line if you need a description of what that is.

Anyway, I realized that there are certain ways to deal with situations, and I’m taking the wide receiver mentaility. Don’t get it? Let me explain…Let’s think about three instances of three different wide receivers and three signature moments for each of them.

Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts – Peyton Manning’s go-to receiver, Reggie Wayne lives over the middle. #87 has been doing it for years, and the reason he can continue to go over the middle is because he picks his fights, get the hell down and don’t let Brian Urlacher give you a kill shot. Take 8 yards and live to play another down. Sometimes in life you need to learn when to pick your fights, it can drain you.

Chad Ocho Cinco, Cincinnati Bengals – Lets flashback to the Cincinnati vs. Baltimore and the Bengals driving to win the game. Chad’s been killing over the middle, slicing and dicing the Ravens defense (sorry @TheNFLChick) like Vince with the slap chop. Well Ray-Ray’s (Lewis) has had enough of that. Chad comes over the middle, Carson sails the pass…and Ray destroys Chad’s life. Helmet flies off, hit was clearly late, and Chad popped up like a spring chicken talking sh*t and looking crazy. I loved it. Hell, sometimes you’re gonna get smacked in the mouth, that’s how life is. Pick yourself up and get back at it again.

Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals – Super Bowl, the new America’s team, the Pittsburgh Steelers (yeah I said it Cowboys fans) and the newly prominent Arizona Cardinals. In a game of games with miraculous plays and unforgettable moments, sometimes you’ve got to take a chance at glory. Now me personally, I can’t remember too many times Fitz taking a route over the middle, that’s usually Anquan’s job. But in the Super Bowl, you go for broke. Larry ran a 15-slant over the middle, and broke it up the middle for glory. Touchdown Cardinals. (Yeah I know that they didn’t win the game, that ain’t the point right now!) Fact of the matter is, if you don’t try then you can’t win. YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME! YOU LIVE LIFE TO LIVE IT UP!

Its just how I’m feeling right now, I’m feeling good. How are ya’ll feeling this Monday? Think about it throughout the rest of your week. Easy.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  5. genetic size says:

    But a smiling visitant here to share the love (:, btw great style. “Individuals may form communities, but it is institutions alone that can create a nation.” by Benjamin Disraeli.

  7. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  13. You should certainly not pick up individuals words by Barack Obama, due to the fact President obama is an ideologue, not only a thinker. Obama’s accelerating belief is actually moored in a very deep-rooted anger towards people that succeed via cost-free markets plus a deep-rooted concern to people who succeed by way of community company as well as current market potential fight.

  14. You’d never ever pick up individuals words from Barack Obama, due to the fact President obama is definitely an ideologue, not just a philosopher. Obama’s accelerating philosophy is definitely attached within a deep-rooted trend in opposition to those that be successful through cost-free promotes as well as a deep-rooted sympathy in the direction of those who realize success by means of community organisation along with market place confrontation.
