The Sports Wannabe

Everyone has their vice..

And mine is gadgets. Tony Montana had piles of blow, and I have radiation emitting screens.

And truly, that is the perfect comparison. There is nothing like tearing the plastic wrapping from a package and scrambling for an AC adapter, and bracing for the moment that those blue LEDs light up and the magic happens. The adrenaline rushes through my veins like heroine through a Hollywood twenty-something.

If you aren’t like me, if you have never experienced this feeling, I can’t help you to understand. So, for all of you, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the frequent geeky and gadget related references that will inevitably use. But, I have a proposition. I will hold your hand and you might learn a little bit, and it won’t be boring! I promise!

But those post will come later. But I wanna let all of you into my life, a wee bit. I work for an Unnamed Large Electronic Retailer (or the ULER). I’m a life long retailer, and proud of this stigma.

I am also a rabid sports fan. Specifically, Minnesota, errr…. Minnesota sports. It is a sad time for all of our teams and it shows in the giant bags under my eyes. I spent three hours the other day looking up stats on our AA minor league team and praying for their closer to make strides this next season. I’m not kidding.

And… theres my life. Oh, I’m a college student. So, I’m doing that, but being a 50 year old in a 19 year old’s body, its a bit juvenile for my taste.

Ok, I promise this is my last “getting to know my narsisistic ass” post. Really!

Till next time,

Samuel

I’m going to tip toe my way through this. I feel that the first post on every blog says a lot. Not just about the future of the blog but the person writing it. I often go into the archives of blogs I come across and read the first post before anything else. 98% of the time, you can categorize the vibe of the first post (and the TRUE vibe of every subsequent post) into one or more of the following categories: tries too hard to be clever, doesn’t try hard enough to be interesting, or my personal favorite, “this blog is going to make a social impact so great I will someday be on The Today Show telling them about this very moment!”.

So, I will tip toe. Don’t expect a “top ten ways to save the earth and get six pack abs” post, and don’t expect me to create a glossary for all the great inside jokes I invented for my readers (thats right Bill Simmons, take you 20 million hits a day and shove it). But, you CAN expect me to use this as an outlet for my take on whats going on in my world and our world.

I didn’t start this for recognition, money, or to get my voice out. In fact, it was mostly that I wanted to start journaling but all of my notebooks were dedicated to my math class (you already made the powerpoint, put it online. save a tree…).

Oh by the way, its not about sports! I just decided on that name because I always wanted to be an athlete, but things got in the way. We’ll talk about that later…

So, there you go. The first post. Read on, trust me, you will like it. And I have candy…. just come closer to the car… (oh, that has personal significance too, ill get into that later as well)

Till next time I gotta drain the dome,

Samuel
