Theme Day

Well if i must include anything on my blog, it must be Florida State. I am a big FSU fan and with this picture I must say that it reads into my point of this Blog. Just a glimpse of the picture you notice football players, contact, a team effort and much more. Well many of us tune into the Super Bowl or March Madness or what ever sport you desire to watch, cheer and in victory celebrate, but within defeat....Cry. Sports are fun to watch but take an incredible effort to achieve personally. I myself ran Track and Field Professionally and must say that it took a desire far greater than one could just imagine. Technology played a small part in my efforts. From training to studying my sport to preparing for the big event, it was my hard work and dedication that brought me success. Lately we can turn on the computer and the television and be a part of virtual sports. The wii, Xbox 360, your home PC. All of these and more bring you close to what it is like but never give you the true feeling of success as does the real thing. Think about your favorite athlete, no matter what the sport. Then think about what that person had to sacrifice to get to where they are, or were. Think about how that person had to dedicate time and effort to achieve their goal. But most importantly think about the people around him/her, who sacrificed their time and efforts, to support and encourage that athlete to success. Now tell me how a computer or email, or a blog can lift your spirits personally? Yes someone can send a message to your email, or comment on your blog, or talk to you live with your 360, but a virtual feeling of acceptance is just that. I myself like going to the stadium, sitting next to a stranger, cheering for my team, supporting that ultimate goal. In the end i go home and realize that i personally took part in that game in some way or another. I can now sit and talk with my family and friends and talk about that event, creating a personal conversation, emitting emotions, and creating a sense of acceptance. That to me is the personal touch. Sorry can you tell me how to gather that feeling through a megabyte, or a .com? Somebody try, i am open to the thought.
