http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=shirley_paul&page=Journal-56&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab7pos2 i have a routine with the internet. our relationship is a bit dull and shallow. i get online for a brief moment of entertainment. its really the only way i can feel connected with so many things and yet still feel completely disconnected with everything. impersonal. unpleasant. i check Dallascowboys.com, then the over hyped facebook and myspace. i check my mail to see what unimportant email i've received from the last time i had checked [normally 2 hrs before]. and then i get my sports fix at espn.com
routine and mundane.
lately i've been reading. i dominated Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, now the Erin Sigler has offered the next literary challenge. at the rate i'm going, i'll need another good friend's advice on my summers reading.
i guess that sets up the reason why i felt the need to Ctrl + C and Ctrl + P this little link. i'm intrigued by reading. most of it is garbage and will fall into the landmines of unimportance. buuuut. its filling. not in a sorta Fastfood kind of way nor in a Thanksgiving 'GOTTA LOVE MOMS COOKING' kind of way either. maybe along the lines of 'this turkey sandwich and cheetos is just what i needed after working 8 hrs today'.
well i didnt work today, well i did. BUT the GAP is hardly work, more like a temporary sentencing... while i get paid for the suffering. haha.
but i went through my routine
1. Dallascowboys
2. facebook
3. myspace
4. espn
on my final attempt for something of sustenance, i run across an article by Paul Shirley. the last few years i've read on occasions his story. he's an NBA journeyman that has traveled to many teams all across the nation... and the world. funny thing is, he's not a success story. or at least not at first glance. but from time to time ESPN gives exerts of his Journal bloggings. so i read his today. and it just kinda reminded me of where i am in my life right now.
i dont know whats in store for my in the future. and before i think that uncertainty would kill me. now i can say i welcome the unpredictable nature of life. its what makes everything exciting i guess. but i cant imagine investing too much in spontaneity. i like to think that life will have its highs and lows. and the waves will rock ya and try and drown you every now and then. but in order to survive, sometimes all i need is grab a floaty and hang out.
anyways. i really liked the his words. "we'll see".... yeah, we'll see how things will turn out Paul. just keep living.
