Keeping everyday awesome

Listening to the postgame radio show following the Iowa State upset of The Longhorns, I heard a fan complain to the radio hosts about how disappointed he was in the fans. He expressed his disappointment at how some fans didn’t stick around for the entire game, that they “quit on the team” and are an [...]

********************************************************************************************** I contemplated not posting this; I was a little worried someone might take this the wrong way. It’s a random post about no one in particular, so don’t read into it. I’m just trying to become a better writer. ********************************************************************************************** I’ve never been to the summit and looked out at the view. I haven’t [...]

I haven’t re-watched the entire OU game to fully prescribe any medicine yet, but after seeing it live and re-watching the first half I have a premature diagnosis. Clue: it’s not good. Texas coaches don’t know how to best utilize their weapons. Let’s get to weaponizing… DJ Monroe, Goodwin, M. Williams, Kirkendoll, Mike Davis, & [...]

I can handle losses. When players play with effort and passion and desire and then make a mistake, I can deal with that. I can’t deal with losses when players don’t care. That’s all that I ask for as a fan. Play like you care, be smart, and don’t quit. If you’ve seen me play [...]

Tomorrow I’ll be on vacation, in Las Vegas. Anything that’s been happening in my life will go on hold for five days, put on the back burner, as I rejuvenate my mind to prepare for another semester of classes. I need it. I’ve been thinking about it since we started discussing it back in June. [...]

Sorry North Dakota, but I’m from Texas. I grew up in a big city (for North Dakota) called Minot. There weren’t, and still aren’t, any freeways, loops, or toll roads and there isn’t any need for them. There’s no traffic problems, serious crimes, ridiculous wait times at restaurants, or professional sports teams. Life just seems [...]

We’ve all had the sense where we actually know what’s going on when those around us think we have no idea. But what we don’t know is how do we approach it. Should we let those around us, our friends, know that we, too know what’s going on? Should we keep it to ourselves and [...]

Our story is ever-changing. Our story, as in Us as people. Yeah, it changing alright but is it changing in the right direction? Or are there multiple directions of change? On one hand, the world is smart. We have SMART phones, SMART cars, SMART everything. We even have SMART parking meters. These devices can tell [...]

Summer is in full swing, as noted by the triple digit temperatures, and it’s in full synergy with me. I had a tough, long semester of school followed by a week of final exams. I was a lazy bum when school was finally over for the spring. Seriously. I would wake up at a decent [...]

So it’s been three weeks since I began my quest to better my body and I’m starting to realize results. The other side of that story, unfortunately,  is that it took me about two weeks to get completely submerged in my plan. Thus, S60f is really less than 60 days and more like 45 but, [...]
