The Culmination of my Being

August 11th, 2006 / #bliss, #football

This is the day that we have waited for with bated breath since the last second of the clock ticked away last February. This is the day that will lead to an epic six months that will birth legends and tales. This is the day that brings peace around the world, and yet still divides us.

This is the day that it all begins.

The Immaculate Reception. The Miracle at the Meadowlands. The Catch. This day led to them all, and just as they are forever immortalized in history, more events like these will sprout from this, the holiest of days.

The Monsters of the Midway. The Purple People Eaters. The Orange Crush. They all evolved as bastard offspring of this day, fathered by fury and nurtured by will.

Broadway Joe. Crazy Legs. Boomer. They all drove down the field, spurred on by the idea that one day in history can make immortals out of men.

Today is the first day of football.

Lay it on me, slim:

  • Who I Am

    I'm a nobody from Florida with things to say (sometimes).

  • What I Do

    I'm a mover (and sometimes shaker) in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.

  • What This Is

    This is a not-so-detailed account of my adolescence over the course of almost a decade. Here, I share my thoughts about things of no real consequence while at the same time being reckless with semicolons and flowery language.

    I used this website to connect with folks before Facebook. Today, I chronicle interesting thoughts and observations I have. I don't update as much as I should.
