Sweet Sweet 70
"Imagine waking up tomorrow morning in your 70s. What is the one thing you refuse to let yourself miss out on in life and just have to do before you’re gone?"
-Amy "Hungry Like the Wolf" Lavallee
First and foremost, I'd like to thank Amy for making me think about this. We are just getting ready to enter the work force, and now we're writing about being done! SWEET! If I keep this up I'll never have to work a day in my life. OK...So what do I refuse to let myself miss out on?? Well after all is said and done and I actually have time to do things...I'd like to write a book. A book about the "adventures" I've experienced in life. I don't mind if nobody reads it, because I'll be able to look back on things and finally put everything in perspective. I hear all the time from players and coaches that there's no time to look back on things until it is all over...they're right! If you let yourself get caught up in the past, you'll miss the present. I like living the way I do, very spontaeneously. Mostly because I know (And Mr. Weaver preaches) once I start having a family and settle down, I'm not going to be able to do these things. I'll have a whole new set of plans and focuses then.
If you would have told me I would want to write an entire book when I was 15, I would call you a liar. However, I've found that writing is a great way to communicate, and a very good
way for me to express myself. I actually have been reading books (no pictures) to pass time and stay "alert" as my girlfriend says. So nothing would be more appealing to me right now than to write a book about nothing and everything at the same time. It worked for that Seinfeld guy, maybe I can make something out of it. Hopefully when I'm that experienced in life I'll still have the love I do for writing that book (and enjoying life.) Until next time...I'm DJ Yokley.
