Sorry for Interrupting, I guess I'll go.
Greetings,
I have not written in a journal for five years. But I came upon the idea to do so again so I plan on expressing through this channel for a moment.
I have been listening to a band called the Front Bottoms as of the last few weeks and this quote struck me hard enough to pause the song and jot down how I thought at the moment of hearing it. I thought that LiveJournal would at least document a situation.
But then I began reading. There has been a 5 year gap in a time where I would periodically update the world on what I have been doing in physical form. In perspective, I feel shitty for neglecting doing that for so long. So many memories, pieces, bad, good, exciting, traumatic, all of which are just stuck in my mind but not documented forever somewhere else. I blame Facebook.
Going back to my original thought about the Front Bottoms. "When I was young, I didn't have to care about anything but I am older now and know that I should" was the quote I was referring to. I feel like it's extremely relatable and doesn't take a lot of reading into, so I can cut to the chase.
I graduated from UNCG since my last post. I interned for an ECHL team, an AHL team, and have now been with the Florida Panthers for two seasons working as a camera operator learning all of the tools of the trade to become the best game presentation specialist I can be.
I applied for the Buffalo Sabres yesterday. Legit. A full-time editor position with the hockey team I grew up loving. I have never wanted something more in my life but to work with the team that I have enjoyed the ride with since I could comprehend a sport. Pulling out the stops, I would love nothing more than to go home and rep. Just fucking rep for something that is in my blood like family. It's always been a "you can take the city, but you can't take the blood" sort of scenario for me.
When is the time to go back? When do they believe me? When will another team realize I rep?
