feeling bummed, elated, lonely, and wise

alone again, naturally, i miss sharing intimacy of emotions, especially when intense and diverging emotions burst through me simultaneously (of course modern psychology would label it bi-polar, which it is, mostly because people love labels and the drama of sickness and the hope of cures, but that's beside the point, mostly)... the body requires sleep more than ever as it pitched five softball games tonight and has five more to pitch tomorrow and i only slept three hours last night and if i am lucky i will sleep six tonight, probably more like five... we entered the tournament after splitting the round robin games as the eleventh seed and we won the first to torunament games and then blew a 14 run lead in the last two innings (mostly due to putting less experienced players in the outfield and the team captains didn't pull them for the second of two 8 run innings, and we lost)... it's double elimination, so we play until we lose another and we do not intend to lose another so we need to win five tomorrow to be champions... the champions in ft. lauderdale did that... we came in third down there... anyway, i wrote this to the team moments ago and i feel much better (and wiser) now :)

It's Sunday, GOOD MORNING! :)


I have some great memories of some great playing we did yesterday... and a few very painful innings... and i am now letting it all go...

I am leaving yesterday behind because carrying it around will not help us win today and i want to win today and i know we can win today so let's do it

"want to win?... first enjoy the game for the sake of the game, win or lose... second, enjoy the people you play with... and third, learn the most important lesson...

the most important lesson we can learn is that consistent winners know how to leave yesterday behind - let it go... "

all i ask of you is that you do your best to win today :)


and i'll love you no matter what,

i hope you are enjoying your weekend as much as i am enjoying mine, or more, even, if you can stand it :)

Catch up (and know more)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
