It's likely that this might not mean anything. Or this might mean everything. It's the degree of separation of acceptance and agreement. When i first started to write, I didnt know I could. Whether I could form sentences simply. It didnt make sense then to think. Then why now? It's the mere audacity of oneself, not even belief. Just the acceptance that you know it and you can do it. It isn't even difficult to inculcate things you learn, because "you learn whatever you want to do". It's not a compulsion or force. It's like how one sometimes hates gravity? And wishes to give back by learning how to fly a plane or a kite? I cant fly, so I run. I move on, because then it all makes sense. This running is not an act of cowardice or frustration. It's the other act of "running".
Where you know where you're going.
Headed someplace you know you will be resented. It's as simple as that.
There isnt a guide, there isnt a map, there isnt a future. There is just you and reality and illusion. (Richard Bach provides such insight I tell you. It's fortunate.)
Pleasure and pain both recieve each other well. Whether its a game, sex, a conversation, a relationship. We hurt because we apparently love. Pleasure and pain. Why is it so hard to listen to someone who is happy or sad? Mere jealousy? Or plain ignorance?
"The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly."
This makes absolute sense. It's like the wheel of fortitude suddenly spinning in your direction with gratitude. The fortitude of a person to hold on to both pain and pleasure in thier lives is respectable for the fact of having emotion for the unknown or the very known. It's fundamentally human to depend on some figure for both these emotions. Fear to undergo it, is obvious ignorance of the same.
If you pick up the large black hat and there's no rabbit popping out of it, well, then, I guess you have seen what we explicitly call, reality.

Michael Vick?
Now granted he has only been indicted...(roll my freakin' eyes)
Does this speak to a greater problem in football? The fact that young professional hoodlums are paid a ton of cash to further degregade society just because they can run faster and jump higher than the next guy?
What does it say about issues in other sports?
What does that say about other sports like Golf or even Nascar? Are these sports now more envyable because the athletes actually show some character and fortitude?
and is it because football is so violent?
I for one could care less about a bunch of guys that wanted to use steroids to hit Home Runs in light of what Vick has done( Allegedley).
Sad part is I will tune in just like the rest of ya'll come football season...
I think it's really not a problem with any one sport, and I don't think golf or Nascar are exceptions either. Nor do I think it's because football is particularly violent, there are plenty of violent sports.
What I believe the problem to be, is that athletes are paid astronomical sums of money and sometimes their background/environment/abilities don't prepare them to deal with fame and riches and they make bad decisions, sometimes of the career-ending type.
Another thing to consider is ego: some athletes seem to think they are irreplaceable and indispensable, and that they are above the law and common sense. Good as they may be, nobody is that important, especially in team sports.
By no means am I generalizing, there are many examples of educated professional athletes from different backgrounds who carry themselves as the role models they are to kids and as outstanding members of society, so I think this is a personal issue: some people are better equipped to deal with these things than others. As a result, you see people making bad decisions and they get plenty of coverage.
I'm sure there are tons of similar cases outside sports where individuals make bad decisions, they just don't get media coverage.
Now Vick is just an example of another bad decision maker, and I feel it was awful of him to say family members were taking advantage of him and feign innocence. I'm really sorry for the dogs. They didn't have a choice.
