Tuesday

Thanks to the storms I will be working lots of hours this week. It gives me a chance to make some money and to really grow and improve my work ethic. Today was a long day. I was able to get over to Lawrence to watch KU play. I am not even a KU fan, but it is the closest thing I have to the NBA near here so I will watch them. Bill Self walked right past me and for the 5 seconds I saw him I estimate that he earned 3 thousand dollars. Ben Mclamore and a Radical Dunk. I think this team will win another big 12 championship and maybe get to the sweet 16. They are pretty good, but I think this year the sum of the parts is greater than the whole, where last year the whole was greater than the some of the parts. Ok I have no idea what I am saying. Withey, Releford, Kevin Young will all be good players. I always have a journal rocking through the day and there was a GIANT STAR next to 2 pm. At 2 pm today I wanted to quit, I was out of gas, I went and stretched and laid on the floor and I knew that I could only do two things pray and get myself to think right. So I started to think to myself "I CAN DO THIS, I CAN GET THROUGH THIS DAY" I thought that over and over and stretched some more and got the day done. So anyway I have realized that I really have no control over so many things over my life. I can however talk to myself and think good thoughts. For my good thoughts I had enough energy to get to Lawrence and witness some basketball.

Sunday and Monday

Sunday was ok. I thought I did pretty good for the energy I had. I was able to watch most of nascar. Jimmy Johnson won. The Giants won the world series and the Chiefs won the world series of sucking. The late game for MLS was pretty good. Galaxy VS. Seattle. KU baseball plays Emporia tomorrow and I am going to try to go to that. I thought I did everything I could to try to keep in contact with a lady I met on Saturday. She laughed at what I wrote on facebook, so I will keep in touch with her, but I don't expect much. Seems like the same thing happened to one of my friends. So it was a pretty good set of days. I love to listen to motivational speakers. They really give me ideas on how to push myself and my spirituality to the next level. When I have any amount of time I try to ask myself "How do I make myself better?" An easy answer to that is to pray, since there is nothing bigger than God. I listened to lots of Napolean Hill today. He was the man when it came to using your brain to be wealthy. The fact is that I wake up in Johnson County every day. I am very wealthy compared to the rest of the world. The most important thing I have is a good library, good mentors, and the internet. The rest of the week I am just going to try to do more of the same. Bring some energy, passion, and to grow.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Friday was pretty chill. I played some nba2k12 and my player is getting better. He still sucks right now. He will get better or I will delete him. Saturday was the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. They exceeded my expectations. The stage they brought had plenty of moving parts and wild ass animations. Bryce, Sheree, and Ben with me. So it was nice to have some family time. They sounded awesome as well. Sprint Center offered me the finest meats and cheeses. So it was a good time and I was glad I went. They were one of my favorite bands growing up and I figured they may come out and be weak, old and feeble. They were non of the above and it was time well spent.

Focus and Finish

I went out to Livestrong Yesterday and bid farewell to the regular season. I didn't say long because I was tired and it takes awhile to get out there and back. SKC played well passing the ball with ease. Nags got knocked out early and Jacob Peterson came in and promptly scored. I thought SKC looked dominant all game. Peterson Joseph made a start and he is the only guy on this team that can create 1V1 I don't think he will play in the playoffs. So SKC finishes first in the Eastern Conference. Top of the Table. They have no playmakers so they may get beat in the playoffs but it is all good. Next year the play in Concacaf, US OPEN TOURNAMENT, and MLS. So the Sporting Train keeps rollin'

Regular Season Farewell

Tonight is the last regular season game for Sporting KC. It has been a great year. A US CUP title. A chance to win the eastern conference. They now play in concacaf. There were a few dog days in there in the middle, but they made it to 60 points and are champions. Next year SKC will probably lose Roger Espinoza because he has played awesome in the olympics and for his home team. Sad to see him go but our midfield will be O.K. I don't expect them to repeat this kind of year next year, but I hope they can keep Livestrong Sporting Park rocking. The playoffs are a crapshoot, I think they have as good of a chance as any, but their lack of a true playmaker at forward will probably cost them. The Red Bulls have Henry and when they play like crap he can still find a way to get a goal. So anyway good season Sporting KC thank you for the hard works folks over there, and thanks for me for working hard and spending a bunch of money on this team.

Monday

Monday was one of the worst days I have had for awhile. I felt like crap and I was sore from what I think was two days ago. I was sore from walking like 10 miles on Saturday and carrying ice on Sunday. I made it though after some ice packs, trying to stay positive, and by bitching and moaning to myself. Tuesday has already started out better. I am less sore and I am in a better mood. The Giants win yesterday was epic and fun. I hope either the Giants or the Tigers win the world series. Sporting KC plays on Wednesday wrapping up a long and wonderful year. Go Sporting. Today I am just trying to take care of myself so I can keep going towards my goals. I hope to eat decently and continue to walk and I know it will pay dividends in the future. The Chiefs start Brady Quinn and now it looks like we won't be getting that #1 overall draft pick because we are going to win 5 games now. Yuck.

The Weekend

This weekend I would rank as a Solid B. I would rank Saturday as an A and Sunday as a C if I was giving a grade. Friday was just a throw away day although I did participate in some conversation with friends. Saturday was just a day I wanted to make sure I had fun during. I workout, work, and stress enough, I wanted to let my hair down alittle bit because Nascar and my dad don't come around very much. The day started with me going to tanners to get some wings. I love their wings and I am now going to get them more often even if they are pricey. I also got a BBQ sandwich. So my day started out a bit expensive as those 3 things were 24 dollars. I then went and got "The Byrdman" I saw "The V-Foundation" and "The Victorian" for a couple minutes and I took 2 cookies and got out of that place fast so I could get to Nascar Nationwide. I got to Nationwide and there wasn't too much craziness going on in the parking grass area, I then met up with my dad. We listened to a couple songs by some country singer and we headed in. I was bummed to only see the Nationwide race but I did see Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon do a couple laps. The Nationwide race was very entertaining and had plenty of action. It was a wild finish as Ricky Stenhouse Jr was the only ass pony to carry enough gas to the finish. Byrd and I then went to watch Sporting KC. They tied but I had fun. Sarah, Laura, Molly and a sneak showing of Soony Saad was there. That day was awesome and I was going to push my luck and try to go to westport or something, but I decided to get my rest instead. Sunday was the picnic. It was ok, it just feels like work. Raymond is an awesome guy and it is awesome that we have a cool sober get together once a year. I did my part and we had a good time. It is important to me to do service work like cooking for events or doing whatever. I have two hands and two legs and I need to give to society because it is the right thing to do. I have been building my work ethic up over time and one of these days I will blog about building Character. I am lucky to have character people in my life with of course Jesus, my dad, Raymond, Bob, and so on and so forth. So anyway a fun weekend all and all and of course I am glad I am a white male with enough money to afford to do fun things.
