Pure Inspiration

"3 minutes…till the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today
Either we heal as a team..or we’re gonna crumble
Inch by inch..play by play…til we’re finished
We’re in hell right now, gentlemen
Believe me
And we can stay here…get the shit kicked out of us
Or we can fight our way back into the light
We can climb out of hell...
One inch at a time
You know when you get old in life..things get taken from u
That’s part of life
But u only learn that when u start losing stuff
U find out life’s this game of inches
So is football
Becos in either game..life or football
The margin error is so small..
One-half a step too late or early..n u don’t quite make it
One-half second too fast..too slow..u don’t quite catch it
The inches we need are everywhere around us
They’re in every break of the game..every minute..every second
On this team...we fight for that inch
On this team...we tear ourselves n everyone else around us!...to pieces for that inch
We claw with our fingernails for that inch!
Becos we know when we add up all those inches..
That’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning n losing!..
Between living n dying!
In any fight..
It’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that inch
And I know if I’m gonna have any life anymore..
It’s becos I’m still willing to fight n die for that inch
Becos that’s what living is!
The 6 inches infront of ur face!
U gotta look at the guy next to u!
Look into his eyes!
I think ur gonna see a guy who’ll go that inch with you..
Ur gonna see a guy...who’s gonna sacrifice himself for this team...
Becos he knows when it comes down to it..
Ur gonna do the same for him
That’s a team...gentlemen
And either we heal now as a team...
Or we die...as individuals
That’s football guys...
That’s all it is."

Realization in Reality

One of the main reason i started this blog was to write out my thoughts...however i just realised that i have difficulty doing so...i find it hard to put my thoughts in writting...unable to do it in a way i would have wanted that is...maybe its because of the distractions that are around me whenever i start writting...well unlike most people..this isnt a personal pc of mine...having it in the living room wherelse most people would have theirs in their own room...

maybe im just the type of person who do not have the flair of writting...unless its pure crap...like writting letters for friends who missed classes...appealing from getting barred etc etc...maybe i should start writting poetry again...not to say that they were class...maybe im a thinker...one who thinks...i dunno...

well...thats it for today

Decisions!! decisions!! decisions!!

I've been contemplating on making some decisions right now...more like for the past 2-3 months...BIG decisions...more or less...i've settled on my choice...tough decisions indeed...and the thought came to me...that the difficult thing about making tough decisions is not making them...but rather having to live with the consequences...TOUGH!!!!
