In order to get back, I need to get personal. Why have I fallen behind? Yeah, I can talk about what’s been going on in my life, as if you care. The world doesn’t stop, so there’s plenty of stuff going on in my wheelhouse, Chicago sports, which is where I try to live. I can’t really talk about specific games that have occurred on the days I missed; that seems weird. I can talk about general things that have happened, or general thoughts I have about the state of things. Another good place to go is back… yes, back in time, and talk about something that happened years ago. You know, on this day in history type stuff. At the end of the day, I need to write… type now I guess. I empty my brain out via this keyboard; it helps me, that’s for sure. Although many days there are just monkeys playing cymbals up there, other stuff does occur to me; I try to keep that to a minimum… shit, I’d be able to write a book on a weekly basis at times. Yeah, stuff comes in, and stuff floats out… it’s easier that way… it’s easy living life with eyes closed some famous group may have said. OK, so I try to keep my eyes open; always keep them open on a roller coaster… what’s the purpose if you close them? Don’t be scared. Same with life I guess… it surely is a roller coaster, so yeah, stay alert man.
I was out of town for 7 out of the last 8 days, 2 separate trips; we’ll get to that. The Cubs sucked some more than beat the Cardinals in a series; we’ll talk Cubs. The Sox continue to scuffle along; we can talk about that all you’d like. The Bulls drafted a dude; the Hawks picked a coach. The Bears are on deck. Plenty to say about all of that. The Warriors won the NBA title; the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup. Sure, we can talk about that too. Maybe we can chat about all the anniversary dates of the Bulls and Blackhawks’ titles that we celebrate in June every year; you know I can talk about that. I can talk, talk, talk… or in this case, type, type, type. Let all that stuff that has happened over these past 10 days flow out onto the screen, to be captured forever on my website in that internet cyber space. Yeah, I post in on Twitter too, if interested… @jski22.
There’s been some other stuff going on too… in my city, and in my country. Maybe I’ll talk about that; maybe not. You know, there’s so much BS, I try to steer clear of that as much as possible… that real life shit that brings you down, that depresses you. Why should I rehash that here? I’m sure you’ve seen enough about it all. It’s like watching the news; why? To see the same BS… nah, I’m good. I know, but I don’t need to see it in my face 24×7, let alone talk about it in my personal space here. Or maybe I should? Maybe I should turn this blog on its head and talk about all current events. Sounds like fun, right? Wrong. OK, onwards…
