But anyway this douchebag Jordan likes to give me shit. He thinks its like this total friggin joke. Like why would i waste the time doing this. ain't i got better things to do??
No, Jordan -- i guess i don't.
First thing I ever wanted to do was write sports -- didn't want to be on tv -- never had the nerves for it -- but i wanted to cover every friggin game. i mean, shit, i watched all of them. i might as well write about them. i knew the players like they were my best buds. and i knew their histories, their strengths, their weaknesses. i could tell when they were having a bad day. its like a gift.
But came to find out that i wouldn't be spending days with the guys if i went down that road. Some days, yeah. And like fundraisers and shit. But not on a daily basis. i wouldn't be in the middle of it. getting to know them personally. getting to know them as more than just numbers. that's when i made the switch to sports med. took me like a year to get there, but here i am -- and a lot friggin happier cause of it. life's funny that way i guess.
Better believe if i wasn't effin 5'7" i'd be down there on the court right beside em. if i could actually take a hit, i'd be on the rink, no questions asked. but i wasn't built that way.
and i guess i wasn't made to do this, either -- wasn't born to be a famous sports writer. ah well. no worries. i hate fucking capitalization.
