Abusing My Television

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,620 views | Reading Time 3:02

It’s not what you think… I don’t watch too much television. Sure, I watch my fair share of it, but for the most part, I’m watching movies or have it on for background noise. I’ll pop on a sporting event and let it run just in case something exciting happens. Other times, I have it […]

I Compete Against

As we begin a new year, most of the resolutions that we make involve some sense of competition. Whether that competition is against an individual, a group, or even yourself, we begin a journey that will result in either a success or failure… or tie. Remove the recent resolutions we have made, and we are […]

We all like to feel pampered… it makes us feel special and wanted. Pampering feeds our human need of appreciation. If we do not feel appreciated by those we are in contact with, we are likely to resent them. Resentment is a disease that will destroy any relationship over the long term with very little […]

Competition Equality

Earlier this week, I ran across a story detailing a recent cheating episode within race car driving, specifically NASCAR. Seriously… as if there were any doubt whatsoever as to that fact. Cheating is rampant among all of our competition sports. I’ve written previous articles about athletes utilizing performance enhancing drugs to keep up with their […]

As you know from some of my previous articles, I’m a sports fan. Well, sometimes I would classify myself as a sports nut as I’m sure my wife would concur. Next Tuesday, July 15th, is the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. If you are not familiar with how players are chosen for the game, it […]

Anti-Fan

If you read yesterday’s article, I talked about superstition and how it fits into sports and also our everyday lives. I mentioned how stupidstition, as I like to call it, is usually just a metaphor for failure. There are other times where superstition and the stupid practice of it are the results from something other […]

Now that you are all adequately caught up on my affinity for sports, I’ve decided to give you some more reading entertainment regarding sporting activities. As you can see from today’s title, it’s stupid superstition. Superstition in sports, no way right! Even the least informed sports watcher or aficionado knows all about the superstitions when […]

I’m not sure if you all know, but I have always been a sports fan. I enjoy most sports because I enjoy the heat of competition. Over the years of my life, I have spent countless hours playing basketball, baseball, softball, and bowling just to name a few of the activities. Sports used to be […]

Scared of Retirement

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,346 views | Reading Time 4:30

Today’s article is going to focus on something we all hope to do in our life and about how some people are actually scared of the thought. Retirement, it is some people’s dream and in turn, some people’s nightmare. How can that be? I always thought retirement was the goal of all young adult workers. […]

Admission Of Guilt

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,750 views | Reading Time 5:22

It seems like over the last few years, we have seen a pretty large increase in the amount of sports figures “admitting” guilt about using performance enhancing drugs and substances. Not quite a coincidence that testing is continually getting better and people are coming forward with previous “secret” information. It also seems that the sports […]
