I have been away quite a long time haven't I ?
I don't know if it is because I had grown weary of writing or because I just couldn't think if anything to write about but today, the creative juices started to flow again.
For me that's a positive sign.
For you, well I am not so sure.
So how do I know it's has been awhile since I have blogged ?
Well I have blown my eating right stage of my life about 6 weeks in, went on the same crap eating style again, and now am back on the right track again. Now that's a long time without blogging. Right now I am more determined than ever (hopefully that will last for awhile) and I am actually in the middle of a seven day Vegan detox thing that a co worker dared me to do. To say that it is a detox means I guess it removes all the bad stuff from your body. Well I will tell you without saying too much, stuff is leaving my body at a rapid pace, and I am assuming that is good.
Do I miss meat ? Sure I do , but the meatless really hasn't bothered me that much. I miss coffee creamer though. It was a good time to do this however because I love watermelon and peaches and god knows I am eating loads of them.
I know I know, whats it gonna be John. Are you gonna do this or not ? You cant write about it and then screw up a week later. OK OK OK I hear you. I am, on this day today, very motivated , and have every thought of trying to get way way way down weight wise. I am thinking 220, which is lower that I have been in, well about 25 years. Can I do it? Hell probably not. But I am going to try. Don't hate me if I fail though.
It has been so long since I have blogged that it is almost football season, and honestly I cannot wait. I mean the Corky Kell, UGA-NC, GT- Mercer, and so many other must see events are around the corner. We are only weeks away from seeing who the quarterback is at UGA. That's amazing stuff. I know I am not alone in wishing time would hurry up and rush by.
I will also keep wishing time will fly by because my daughter is in France right now, and at times I have problems focusing with her so far away. The Nice France disaster made it a bit worse but she was 8 hours away, at a fireworks show in Paris that night. I didn't worry too much, but I was glad to get that text the next morning. But what can I do. Stop her from chasing dreams ? I will never ever do that to either one of my kids. Lets think about it. The Orlando night club attack was five hours a way from us, so something bad is just as likely to happen down the street as in France. That is what I am telling myself. Live the dream and chase the dream
I will end this by talking about a friend of mine. Wes Blankenship from WMAZ is leaving Macon to go to work at WXIA in Atlanta and I am sad about that today. Wes is one of the good guys, as are most sports guys in this town and I will really miss seeing him on the sidelines and talking to him at games. I have played golf with him(he sucks worse than me) and I have eaten meals with him(skinny little guy but he can eat) I have teased him about how he possibly married this lovely woman he married and my wife has even told me to ask him if he had shorts on when he was doing a sportscast. (Yes he did, sports coat, tie, and yes, since he is sitting down, shorts on) I cant even tell you the number of times we have been at an event and I would ask people if they knew who I was with. They kind of looked at him like well yeah I recognize him but I am not sure. Well, now everyone knows him and he will leave his mark in Macon. I will never forget the fake broadcasting on WTSA. Take care and good luck my friend.
