This week's post is more like Someday Morning Hangovers... #weeklate
Rave of the Week
Last Sunday I attended the wedding for a cousin of mine in
Detroit, Michigan. It was a lovely wedding and I saw lots of family, but as you
saw, it also took place on during the climax of football on Sunday.
Now…it’s not as if I wished I was elsewhere, but as a guy,
the little Bible boy running down the aisle and dropping the Bible is only so cute.
I did pay attention…for a while, but 45 minutes later and only the 3rd
bridesmaid of 12 has come down the aisle…my brain decided to embrace debate:
Right Brain: “This is
nice…so…I wonder if you’re losing…”
Left Brain: “Dude.
Focus. You’re at a wedding, but I agree, you need a win this week.”
Me: “Wait, isn't one
of you supposed to say checking scores is right and the other say it’s wrong?
Left Brain: “Yes. Checking
to see if you’re losing is wrong, checking to see if you’re winning is right.”
Right Brain: “I like
the way he thinks. Also, since you’re online see if bridesmaid #9 is single on
FB…”
Once it became clear it was two against one, I didn't stand
a chance…but that’s what makes fantasy football so great. It’s like green eggs
and ham. I can check scores in a boat; I can check them with a goat. I can
check scores in a train; I can check them in the rain. In a car and in a tree,
I checked them at a wedding, you see. I can check scores here and there, say, I
can check scores anywhere! #samIam
Rant of the Week
Life is not meant to be easy.
Coming home from the Motor city, I got stranded in Chicago.
Literally. I arrived in Chicago to a delay, and then cancelling, and then
re-booking, followed by a cancellation and another cancelling. In fact I couldn't
find anything that could get me home before Wednesday. Aside from Tuesday being
a personal holiday, I had a pressing meeting the following afternoon that I
needed to attend. The results ended up being leaving O’Hare for the closest
Avis and driving the rest of the way back.
Meanwhile in the fictional game of football I lost not one,
not two but three players to season ending injuries in one week. Three! We all
know the struggle is real when it comes to waivers in the Elite, but the pool
is borderline bird bath shallow when you need to add one player, let alone
three.
It’s easier to give up.
There’s very little in life that you’ll want that doesn't
require some sort of diligent effort to get it whether it’s surviving a very
real week or trying to get a win in the Elite. There’s a quote that I have
written all over my belongings that says, “Quitters never win and winners never
quit.” If ever there was a week I truly didn't have time to write, it was this
week and yet it’s here anyway. Our habits follow us regardless of what we’re
doing, if you can give up now, it’ll be easier to give up on other things, too.
Don’t let a bad stretch keep you from having a good season.
The Royals are in
the World Series for crying out loud...
I'm out like 27...
